From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 46 Reorganization
I saw these militiamen in front of me standing together in a crowd, not in a row, not in a row, dressed in various styles, whispering to each other, and it was very lively.

Allen's nose was suddenly crooked. Who are these people? Although he knew that these people might have been just farmers with a hoe a day or two ago, but now they are soldiers in his eyes.

Not to mention being as elite as soldiers of the Frontier Legion, at least he must look like a soldier. This is no different from stragglers who have lost a battle.

"Huh, everyone, gather in line!" Allen snorted coldly, and the cold snort was wrapped in grudges and poured into the ears of the militiamen along with the cold winter wind.

Everyone's heart froze, and they hurriedly stood up. Although they were still only at the level of the first day of military training for college students, Allen nodded in satisfaction.

These militiamen have also participated in military training during the slack period, and some even have experience in fighting orcs, but they were a little loose at the beginning, and once they stood up, they gained a lot of momentum.

It is said that there are troublesome people in poor mountains and bad waters, and the people in the border areas are often tough. These people may not be good at standing in line, but they will not be ambiguous when they climb the city wall and fight the orcs.

"Now, I will give you group training, and those who know how to archery will take a step forward."

Although there are not many people now, a general framework still needs to be established. Although Ryan didn't say anything, Allen knew that these people would eventually gradually transform into professional soldiers.

As long as the population and economic development of the territory increase, the development of the recruitment system is inevitable, and this is also the choice of many border lords.

So he now has to take the long view.

Hearing his words, a group of people looked left and right, and finally more than 200 people stood up, most of them were hunters, they were proficient in archery, and they were tall and powerful.

Because of Karna's location, many people rely on hunting for their livelihood, so there is a high proportion of archers among them.

Allen was not in a hurry to divide them up, but asked them again: "Those of you who know how to ride horses will take a step forward."

Now there were a lot fewer, only a dozen or so people stood up from the inside, and the southern border lacked horses, so few lords had established cavalry, and even fewer civilians and soldiers were proficient in equestrian skills.

All of this was expected by Allen. He put these people aside alone, formed two scout teams for them, and appointed two veterans as team leaders. At that time, he would equip them with horses to detect the enemy's situation and pass them on. information.

Since they are hunters, they have certain attainments in jungle tracking, setting traps, and camouflage and hiding. For a while, they still have a sense of sight of special forces.

Then Allen formed the remaining [-] archers into two hundred-man brigades. As an indispensable force in city defense, the number of archers often plays an important role in offensive and defensive battles.

It takes two to three years to train a qualified archer. Fortunately, these are ready-made, otherwise Ryan will have another headache.

Among the remaining 800 people, Allen personally went to the field to select more than 100 burly ones with thick arms. These will be used as large shield soldiers for defense.Different from the small round shields equipped by ordinary soldiers, the large shield is like a door panel, the inside is made of hardwood, and the outside is covered with a layer of iron sheet, which is very heavy.

If you don't have a lot of strength, you really can't play it.

In the end, Allen roughly classified all the remaining people as pikemen. The reason why there was no such fine division as pikemen and swordsmen was mainly because of the training time.

Whether it's a two-handed sword or a one-handed sword, or other short weapons, they don't play an obvious role in defense, and they are more complicated and changeable.

In a short period of time, Allen has no confidence that he can achieve results in training.

And the most important point is that the difficulty and cost of weapon manufacturing have skyrocketed. It takes almost a month to cast a qualified two-handed sword, and the cost is high.

But the spear is different, the manufacturing cost is low, the speed is fast, and it is inch long and inch strong, which is more suitable for defending the city.

There is no need to pay attention to any skills, just stand on the city wall and stab down, and you can also cooperate with shield soldiers in field battles. Although there is no plan for field battles, it is always right to make more preparations.

In this way, more than 1000 people formed a mixed militia battalion, with two archer brigades, one large shield brigade, seven spearmen brigades, and two scout squads.

Named the [-]st Militia Battalion by Allen.

Small but complete.

Appointed various elite veterans as grass-roots officers, and began to straighten the ranks, it was only after a burst of shouting and cursing that the ranks became more pleasing to the eye.

Hans looked enviously on the sidelines. He had commanded hundreds of people at most. How could Alan organize a battalion like this.

After rectifying the militia, Alan, the original army of Doman City, did not let it go. He unified the original 300 people into three city defense brigades, named the garrison battalions.

Except for the difference in the number of people by more than half, the framework is based on the standards of the militia battalion.

The team is roughly reorganized, but there are some problems with the weapons and equipment. Although the bows and arrows are all brought with them, they are all self-made hunting bows, with great differences in power and accuracy.

Moreover, they are all wearing their own clothes, although they can keep out the cold, they have little protection.Even simple leather armor is better than nothing.

After thinking about training for a few days, Allen applied to open the arsenal and arm the soldiers first...

A few days ago, Allen gathered the militia battalion and the city defense battalion together to conduct some physical strength and endurance training. Considering practical issues, the intensity was relatively low, but even so, they still aroused complaints.

There were even people from the city defense battalion quietly complaining to Hans, their dissatisfaction was palpable, and he even reprimanded them once or twice, and then warned them to train hard.

But within two days, more and more people complained, and Hans realized the seriousness of the problem. After much hesitation, he knocked on Ryan's door...

Ryan was writing quickly on a piece of parchment, and asked without looking up after seeing Hans: "What's the matter, Knight Hans, you should be patrolling the city defense now."

"Lord Baron, that is...the training intensity of the soldiers will be a little higher. They have complained a lot these days, and I'm afraid there will be problems in the future."

After a little hesitation, Hans cautiously reported the ins and outs of the matter to Ryan.

Hearing this, Ryan stopped the quill in his hand, looked up at Hans and said, "Knight Hans, I think you may not understand that Alan is the one who is fully responsible for the training of soldiers, and his training plan naturally has his own ideas." intention.

If the soldiers can't hold on, or have any opinions, they should directly express their opinions to the officer or Allen Knight, instead of conveying them to you. You just need to take care of your own affairs, understand? "

His voice was very calm, but a pair of eyes pierced Hans' face like sharp swords, and the latter felt his heartbeat slow down instantly...
