The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 199 The scenery here is nice
Including myself, James, and Falcao, a total of ten knights went out this time, and each knight led about 15 to 20 troops.

The number of troops to lead is limited. One is that it is impossible for a knight to lead some elite soldiers. His strength determines that he can only lead some soldiers who are lower than himself, otherwise a crisis of trust may occur.

You, a person whose personal combat ability is lower than mine, want me to fight with you wholeheartedly, but there is no way.

Of course, if you have money and reputation, you will not be able to hire mercenaries who are much stronger than you.

Mercenaries recognize money but not people and identities.

But to cultivate soldiers who are loyal to you, then your personal bravery must be higher than his in order to convince the crowd.

Even if some high-level soldiers are entrusted to you by your lord, they will soon flee due to various conflicts.

Unless you have a title, he will look at your title, if he can confer a knight, or at least promote a knight squire, he can be regarded as a leader, honoring his ancestors.

But compared to personal strength, they still worship personal strength, because this is a world full of wars, and worshiping personal strength is inevitable.

Follow a mighty knight or lord with glory on their face.

Follow a lord or knight who is weaker than yourself, one is hopeless for promotion, and the other feels wronged, so most of the time their combat effectiveness cannot be displayed, and no matter how much their morale is encouraged and improved, they will not be the highest.

Morale is a key factor in determining the outcome of a battle. If the morale is high and the lord is brave, then they will last longer on the battlefield. If the morale is low, they will first think of fleeing instead of concentrating on fighting for you.

This is what Zhang Qiang read in Lesarit's fighter skill book.

Lesarite repeatedly emphasizes the importance of morale in the book.

Zhang Qiang remembered it clearly.

Therefore, the soldiers or attendants of the knights will not be too strong, or the lord will not use you if he directly uses those soldiers to fight.

According to their own financial resources and strength, knights bring soldiers one level lower than themselves, and the corresponding number of soldiers.

If your commanding ability is higher, you can bring a relatively large number of soldiers. The extra soldiers are useless even if you follow them. They consume food, supplies, and don’t work hard. A knight is a person after all. There are too many soldiers who can't take care of the soldiers, and the corporals can't take care of them. There are too many people. You can take care of one but not the other. Those soldiers who can't take care of them will become demoralized because of your neglect of them.

Even if you have the ability, you can't show it all.

Affect the combat effectiveness of troops.

A knight can generally bring 2 knight attendants and two attendants to help him dress and wear armor, deal with some things, and protect him. The basic number of soldiers is only 10 soldiers, and the command ability is higher, such as the first-level command Ability, can bring 5 more soldiers, 15 soldiers, if there is a hero, can bring 5 more soldiers, it is regarded as the entourage of the hero, under the jurisdiction of the hero.

If the hero comes to vote alone, the knight can assign five soldiers from his own soldiers as the hero's entourage, and he can bring five more soldiers, and the hero will manage the five soldiers for him.So there are 5 soldiers.

But few knights have enough prestige for heroes to vote, so knights can only bring the basic 10 soldiers.

Of course he can become a knight, and it is impossible for him to have no command skill level at all, so basically 15 soldiers follow him to fight.

When there is an earl leading the army, these soldiers are to be incorporated into the earl's army. The knights are gathered together to be the earl's or baron's cavalry, or to be used as elite combat forces. Good steel is used on the blade and attacked at the right time. , Destroying the enemy's troops in one fell swoop.

Therefore, in the cold weapon wars of the Middle Ages, knights were basically used as senior soldiers of the lords. In some loose armies, knights could lead their own soldiers to participate in the battle.

There are also those with high commanding skills, such as Falcao. According to James, his commanding skills are at level 10, and he can bring 50 individual soldiers, plus 60 basic soldiers.

For this expedition, Falcao brought all these soldiers, so he had the most troops.

The other nine knights are generally around 15 to 35, and Zhang Qiang brought 30 soldiers.

That's because his commanding skill is level 7. If Baron Price's ring attribute hadn't disappeared, his commanding level would be one level higher, and he would bring 5 more soldiers. In a hurry, I didn't bring all 10 soldiers of the basic 7 soldiers plus 35 soldiers with command skill level 45.

As for Rolf, he is not counted as his own hero, he is also alone, he can be regarded as a strong individual soldier, if those mercenaries are not ordered by himself, they may not necessarily obey him, and Zhang Qiang only brings 20 militiamen to count as himself direct troops.

The ones with the most combat effectiveness were Rolf and the ten mercenary cavalry.

Cavalry, that is a tank in the cold weapon era.

Even mercenaries are very powerful.

James is good, but his strength is personal strength. In terms of cavaliers, he has not achieved higher levels. He only has level 2 command ability and can lead 20 soldiers. He has brought them all.

10 basic knight soldiers, 10 commanding skill bonus soldiers.

However, his soldiers are stronger than Zhang Qiang, with 10 recruits and 10 light infantry.

Zhang Qiang's are all militiamen, are they militiamen? Those who defend their homeland have been trained a little bit better than farmers, intermediate-level cannon fodder.

The recruits are the regular soldiers, who are better equipped, have experienced at least one battle, and have some battlefield experience.

The mercenaries are old-fashioned people, not to mention the personal strength, at least the first-level strength, and the mercenary cavalry is even the second-level strength.

Calculated in this way, there are at least about 600 people in this team, plus some farmers, slaves, and merchants accompanying the army, there are more than 1000 people.

But those who follow the army never fight, they are assistants, they are trophies, and if they fail, they are the enemy's trophies.

While Zhang Qiang was thinking, Falcao spoke again, this time his words were gentler, "Knight Zhang Qiang, as the leading knight of this expedition, I want you to explain why you are separated from the camp of the large army? You tell me Have you asked for instructions?"

Zhang Qiang looked around, "I think the scenery here is good, so I moved here, why do you have any objections?"

"You——, I will report to the earl that you acted without authorization and did not obey orders."

Zhang Qiang shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, he can't even listen to the earl's orders, so he still cares about you as a knight?
Earl Plais already has grudges and rejections towards him, so what if one more time?

At most, he can no longer be a knight with him, and forget about switching to that old guy Reyes. I think that old guy will approve with both hands, and he is very happy.

He is already a knight, and even if Earl Plais deprives himself of his right to be loyal to him, he is still a knight recognized by the whole continent.

Unless the king ordered the abolition of his knighthood.

But the whole continent knows that he was once a knight, and he has been a knight all his life.

This cannot be changed. If a knight changes to become a disciple of others, at most he will lose some prestige. Although prestige is also very important, and even fatal, but when there is no other way, he can only do this. Becoming a knight under others, Maybe it will be more beneficial, the promotion will be faster, and if you get promoted to a baron, then you will not be anyone's knight.

"You, okay, you wait," Falcao turned and walked away helplessly, muttering in his mouth.

James watched Falcao turn and leave, and said carefully to Zhang Qiang: "You shouldn't offend such a knight. To obey him is to obey the lord. He exercises power on behalf of the lord."

Zhang Qiang said: "It is said in the cultivation of knights that you can't compromise with those who hate you. I think that for a narrow-minded person who doesn't respect me, doing so is in line with the chivalry, isn't it?"

"Ahem." James pretended to cough a few times.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first." He apologized, then turned and left.

Zhang Qiang stood up, walked back to his tent, and lay down to rest.

I was tired after walking all day and all night.

Let's talk about tomorrow's things, and talk about future things later.
