Rise of the Empire Total War

Bang bang bang ——

"In the first row, squat down, reload bullets!"

"Second row, raise the gun, ready to shoot!"

"volley!"

Bang bang bang ——

The school grounds were full of gunshots and the pungent smoke that erupted from the firing of the musket. The soldiers had long been accustomed to this. They skillfully filled the ammunition under the command of the officer, or held the bayonet and the musket facing each other. The scarecrow in front practice stab.

Strolling on the lively schoolyard, Richard watched with satisfaction the soldiers who were training. The Wang ** team's equipment had been updated and their muskets were replaced by the flintlocks developed by the Firearms Research Institute. Not only that, the body of the flintlock rifle has also been lengthened, and the effect of lengthening the body is to increase the range of the gun.

Compared with the original backward musket, the newly equipped flintlock can be used in more severe environments, and is no longer limited to firing only on sunny days or other good weather. The use of flintlock devices has also allowed the profession of snipers in the military to be produced. Compared with the muskets which are still matchlocks, the flintlocks eliminate the cumbersome steps of inserting the matchlocks, allowing the snipers to be On the ever-changing battlefield, seize the opportunity to kill the enemy with one shot.

In addition, the flintlock has another more obvious advantage. Originally, the soldiers would have a ring of fire rope wrapped around them for use in wartime. This kind of fire rope became extremely stable after being soaked in sesame oil. At one point, the spark will ignite instantly, so the soldiers on the battlefield are easily put into danger. Apart from anything else, there have been several accidents in which soldiers caught fire due to misoperations in these years of training alone.

In addition to the renewal of the musket. The old bayonet inserted into the bayonet was replaced by a newly developed bayonet bayonet, which helped to reduce the weight of the gun body. Therefore, soldiers would not use the bayonet because the gun was too heavy to be deployed.

Not only was the flintlock successfully equipped with the army, the more compact carbines were also born from the Firearms Research Institute, replacing the cavalry crossbows used by the crossbow cavalry, and the crossbow cavalry was successfully renamed the carbine cavalry. Compared with infantry weapons, the carbine used by the cavalry is lighter and has a shorter range. They usually perform a close-range volley before the charge, and then pull out the saber to initiate the charge, which will defeat the enemy who was beaten by the volley. Washed away.

After the Carbine Cavalry came out, Richard's regiment was restructured again. The original melee unit was cancelled, and the cavalry was replaced by the Carbine Cavalry as much as possible. One regiment was expanded to six infantry brigades with 2,700 men, plus two artillery brigades with 300 men and three cavalry brigades with 900 men, for a total of 3,900 soldiers. ). Not only the regiment level has been expanded, but a brigade was added above the regiment. The two regiments are one brigade. In order to ensure the safety of the brigade, it also has a directly administered infantry brigade and a cavalry guards. In other words, the number of combatable soldiers in a brigade will reach 8,500.

At the brigade level and above, there is also the highest-level corps. One corps will govern three brigades. The corps also has a direct guards regiment and a direct artillery regiment. An artillery regiment has four artillery battalions, that is, forty artillery. As long as there is sufficient ammunition, these forty artillery salvos are enough to make the enemy regret coming to this world), that is to say, an army’s The number of combatants will be as high as 30,000, an unprecedented number.

The one army after the restructuring is enough to replace the three before the restructuring. Regardless of quantity or quality, this is Richard's new confidence and support. In the four years since the end of the Osa war, using this precious peace, his country’s economy has developed rapidly, and various advanced farming tools and farming methods have been promoted in the territory; land trade and sea trade have gone hand in hand, from the Kingdom of Winster. The goods of the empire were even sold to the Holy Kuyavian Empire and its northern borders. The large amount of silver coins brought back by the caravan flowed into the national treasury by means of taxation. The mineral resources in various places in the territory were also developed. All the soldiers captured in the war Become a mining slave and contribute every drop of blood and tears to the prosperity of the Winster Kingdom.

By the spring of 1125 on the continental calendar, the Kingdom of Winster under Richard’s rule had four armies with a total of 120,000 legionaries (before the military reform, there were six legions, but after careful consideration, Richard would still have two more regiments. One regiment was merged into other regiments). Although this amount is too much for Richard's current territory, with the help of the system, military expenditures are minimized, and a large amount of money can be surplus every month.

Among the four legions, the Fourth Corps under the command of Rudolf Vrba is still stationed on the Osa Peninsula, but the local auxiliary army does not need to be recruited because of the surplus. The number of 30,000 people in this legion is enough. Enough to deter the surrounding city-states and forces that are still at war. The Akanania Alliance, which was besieged by various forces, once asked Richard for help because it could not support it, and was slammed by Richard with the condition of sending a regiment. Pen, a regiment after the reform of the new army lived up to expectations, and the enemy army who committed the crime in the future was defeated, allowing the alliance to turn its offensive.

Except for the Fourth Army guarding the Osa Peninsula~www.readwn.com~ The other three armies are distributed on the borders of the kingdom, and one of the first army is stationed in the Lavana area, preventing them from going further and further. However, the Kingdom of Rusino, an ally of the encirclement countries, is getting closer and closer. A collar stationed in the north of Osrig, guards against the Principalities of Liguin and Page, which are members of the encirclement. The Second Army is stationed on the eastern border. Radiate the vassal states such as the Kingdom of Dera within the scope of its support; the Third Army is stationed in the western Adelburg and Ramirez areas, one is to protect the undeveloped Principality of Lasik, and the other is to guard the southern border Safety.

It can be said that Richard is ready for war. He has built several strongholds on the front line, which are filled with a large amount of grain and ammunition. As long as the war breaks out, the powerful new army will be able to cross the border arrogantly. Fight against fools who are their enemies.

He has great ambitions, which can be seen from the map of Valdasia hung on the wall of his study in the Palace of Hipolito. As the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he is not willing to continue to be the Winster of this world. The king of the kingdom, on the contrary, since being crowned as queen, he has been seeking to place the entire Valdasia peninsula under his own rule. And in the bottom of his heart he also has a grand plan, that is, when the entire Valdasia peninsula has raised his double-headed eagle flag, he will hold a grand coronation ceremony in Nord City. This world builds a great Holy Roman Empire!

After all, how can it be cool to be an emperor to be a king?
