Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 389 Condolences to the Cavalry Hunter

February is a day when the snow melts, and the roads from the Rock Castle to the eastern part of the Northland are still dirt roads, muddy and difficult to walk. This is why Lorist wants to re-plan the traffic roads and facilities throughout the Northland. At the very least, the avenues that connect the towns and cities can make it easier for people to travel, rather than bumpy and splashing pedestrians in mud. This is the most common scenario in almost all countries in the Gailint subcontinent. The most important tool carried by the general caravan is the shovel, because they have to fill the potholes in the road at any time so that the carriage full of goods can pass smoothly.

After the Kenmes family took control of the eastern part of the Northland, they did not build their own city. Now the most lively and prosperous towns in the eastern part of the Northland are only two towns. One is the border town of Xinjiexi, which is bordered by the Dragon Mountains, and Heshan. The barbarian tribe’s trading house is here. There are many pubs in the town. The main guests are the mountain barbarians who come down to the town to trade. From time to time, drunk mountain barbarians fall asleep by the roadside. This has become commonplace in Xinjiexi Town.

Another more lively town is Baishi Town, which was originally a small village named after a huge white rock at the entrance of the village. However, due to the distance to the chain bridge connecting Makinohara Province, he was taken by the earl of Max at the time. He used this small village as the residence of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, and invested in the construction of a large number of material warehouses and carriage repair yards, and the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce hired workers. The dormitory and other facilities made this small village very lively and developed into a small town in the past few years.

After the replacement of the territory, the Kenmes family will relocate to West Degrad. They migrated more than 200,000 people from the eastern part of the Northland. Only a small part of the residents who were forcibly moved to the Northland from Sidgrad Province arrived here, less than 50,000. This is because most of the immigrants from the former West Degrad Province were arranged to carry out the three original developments in the southern part of the Northland, and some were arranged to Taichuanyuan in the western part of the Northland. Residents are vacant.

Although the Kenmes family moved most of the civilians after the territory replacement, they did not take away the trading firm that was set up in Xinjiexi Town to specialize in mountain barbarian tribal trade. At the same time, there is still a warehouse reserve in Baishi Town. . This was applied to the Norton family in the name of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, and the Norton family also has shares in the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, and can receive a large dividend every year, so they quickly agreed to the request of their allies.

The garrison camp of the Cavalry Regiment was arranged here, and upon receiving notification from Lorist, the acting commander of the army, Vassimma Knight, who had arrived the previous day, hurried out to greet him. Two years ago, because of the failure to attack the Golden Rank, Vassimma had been injured for half a year. Now he has returned to the peak of the silver three-star level. It is estimated that after a while, he will be able to retreat to the Golden Rank again.

Letting the Vassimma knights come to act as the captain to clean up the mess of the Cavalry Corps, Lorist also took a lot of thought. Vassimma is a knight who is loyal to his duties and brave to take on heavy responsibilities. Although he is not good at words, he is sincere, can lead by example, and has the spirit of hard work. The hunting army suffered a big defeat and morale is low. It is necessary for a knight like Vassim to come. Regroup.

The Vassimma knight did not disappoint Lorist. Although he had been the commander of the Cavalry Corps for less than a month, Lorist found that the camp was clean and orderly, and the military affairs in the camp were organized. The soldiers did not look frustrated as they marched, but the spirits and appearances were very good, and it made people feel bold and striving.

However, Lorist found that all the Cavalry Corps soldiers had a white feather inserted in the brim of the helmets, so he curiously asked Vassimma what happened?

The Vassimma Knight replied: "His Royal Highness, this white snow chicken feather represents the defeat of the Cavalry Corps. It is inserted on the helmet to indicate that all Cavalry Corps soldiers will remember this shame and look forward to using the enemy’s The blood comes to dye this feather red. It also means that all Cavalry Corps soldiers must remember those soldiers who died in Makinohara Province. Although we have been defeated, the bravery of those who sacrificed soldiers deserves our memory."

Lorist nodded: "You are right, but I don't think the attack on the Cavalry Regiment was a big defeat. After all, it was more than a hundred thousand cavalry soldiers besieging our three regiments, and Fisab Grand Duke Lun also led his army to ambush himself. Although the sacrifices were great and the casualties were heavy, I think that the Cavalry Regiment might be defeated."

"His Royal Highness, no matter how you look for reasons and modifications, failure is failure. This is a fact. The failure of the Cavalry Corps lies in their carelessness. They think that they are invincible across the Makino Plain and ignore the reconnaissance, even if they find some cavalry. The scouts spied around. They still thought it was a small group of rangers, vulnerable to a blow, so they fell into the trap. Moreover, the head of the Yuri Army who went to the rescue did not realize why the Third Corps was trapped. , He chose the nearest road to rescue, but was ambushed by the army of Fesabrunn...

I have questioned all the surviving soldiers and have written a very detailed report based on what they said. Your Highness, I don't want to blame anyone, but I hope to learn this lesson and avoid the family armed forces from encountering such failures again in future campaigns. The lesson of the Cavalry Corps is that the smoothness of the early battles and the continuous success of the battle made everyone lose their vigilance. They did not put the enemy in their eyes and were arrogant. This allowed the enemy to take advantage of it. If the cavalry hunter regiment can remain vigilant and can send scout Qingqi to investigate carefully before any action, it will not fall into the siege of cavalry. "

Lorist was speechless by Vassimma's rebuttal, but he knew in his heart that Vassimma didn't want to lose his face, but just had something to say, which he admired Wasimma's straightforwardness. There was a silence for a while Lorist said: "Sorry, I was wrong. You are right. Failure is failure. It does not mean that you can whitewash this failure by sacrificing the bravery of soldiers. But why the Third Cavalry Regiment Going to carry out the mission, but not sending scout Qingqi?"

"That's the case. I asked the soldiers who were rescued from the Third Corps. They said that the commander of the regiment, Pete, had a small group of cavalry peeping nearby, and worried that the scout sent by Qingqi was not the opponent of those small cavalry. It would only cause losses in vain, so the scout Qingqi was allowed to cruise within the range of the steel crossbow of the chariot he was accompanying, and he did not reconnaissance far.

Master Pete has been killed in the battle gloriously. I can't comment on whether his command is appropriate, but I believe Master Pete did not realize that there were more than 100,000 cavalry in front of them waiting for their arrival. He just loves the soldiers and wants to avoid unnecessary damage. The 3rd Cavalry Regiment was newly formed. Going to Muyeyuan Province to sweep up is also a kind of ad hoc training. Let these new scout soldiers immediately deal with the experienced savage rangers. This is something that any commander must carefully consider. problem.

Considering that the Third Cavalry Regiment brought two chariot steel crossbow battalions on this expedition, Master Pete obviously thinks that the small group of grass barbarian wanderers are just bluffs, and none of the grass barbarian tribes on the grasslands of Muyeyuan Province can resist. His pawn. Therefore, he only allowed the Scout Qingqi to cruise within 300 meters of the marching unit of the Third Corps, and let the steel crossbow of the chariot provide them with long-range protection. Because of this, the Third Corps was surrounded by more than one hundred thousand cavalry. "

The Wassingmar Knight’s inference was reasonable, but Pete, the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, had already been killed on the battlefield, and Lorist could not come to settle accounts after the fall. That would only appear mean and reckless. He could only accept this statement silently, and continued to patrol the camp of the Cavalry Corps accompanied by Vassimma.

Supper was eaten in the cafeteria of the barracks. Lorist, like all the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment, had a meal with the soldiers. The soldiers at the table with Lorist were so happy and excited that they even forgot to eat. Lorester was having a meal with the soldiers, asking about their home conditions, and cheering everyone up. He firmly stated that the family attaches great importance to the reconstruction of the Cavalry Corps and hopes that the Cavalry Corps can regroup and spread the battlefield. Shame...

In the evening, Lorist went to visit Josk and Yuri, who were recovering from injuries. The pharmacist in charge of treatment told Lorist that although Josk's injury was serious, his recovery was good. This was mainly because he had a good foundation and was injured. He was rescued immediately afterwards, not like Yuri, who was still struggling to fight to the death due to severe injuries. When he was rescued, he had run out of oil, was unconscious, and suffered heavy injuries to more than ten places all over his body. The great circulation of the bloodline nodes of the cultivation has also been destroyed, and now it is like a waste person lying on the bed and unable to move, eating and drinking Lazard can be served by people. The pharmacist estimated that it would take him three or four months to recover his body, and it would take at least one to two years for him to practice fighting qi to return to the golden rank.

Josk was already able to sit on the bed. He smiled bitterly and told Lorist that he had been conspired by Grand Duke Feisabrun. He is a magical archer, who can attack the enemy from a long distance on the battlefield. But he did not expect that Archduke Fesabrun disguised as an ordinary grass-barbarian soldier, mixed in a group of grass-barbarians and approached and then suddenly shot out. At that time, Josk was looking for the leaders of the grass-barbarian cavalry and the warriors to shoot them and ignored them. Those savage soldiers who were handed over to the guards around them to deal with.

As a result, Grand Duke Feisabrun suddenly shot out, the blocker was invincible, and soon approached Jost. As soon as Joost found out that the attacking old man was actually Grand Duke Fesabrunn, he felt bad. He hurriedly fired more than ten arrows but was blocked by Grand Duke Fesabrun. Josk moved away. Grand Duke Lun was too late to throw the sword in his hand. A guard next to Josk stood in front of him, but was pierced by a long sword and pierced into Josk’s chest. The two fell off their horses together, and the long sword stuck in the ground gave Josk a big shot. Kou, the pain made him almost unconscious...

Duke Fesabrunn continued to approach there. At this time, more than a dozen family knights and nearly a hundred soldiers from the Cavalry Regiment swarmed up and blocked Archduke Fesabrunn and rescued Josk. It was a pity that the army was in chaos at the time. Brought back the long sword of Grand Duke Sablon. After he was out of danger and bandaging his wounds, Josk knew that all the family knights and soldiers who had gone to fend off Grand Duke Feisabrun had died in battle.

Josk’s condition is okay. He has injured his lungs and sternum. He is currently recovering well. In three or four months, he will be a vigorous man again. He fists and moves his hands and said that he will lead the hunter as soon as his body recovers. The legion re-entered the Muyeyuan Province to find a place to avenge the soldiers who died heroically. Seeing that he still had this spirit, Lorist was also relieved.

Yuri was lying on the bed like a dead man, but his consciousness was still sober, and when Lorist came to visit him, tears were streaming down his eyes. Lorist sat with him by the bed with his hand for a long time, telling him not to be impatient, now the most important thing is to heal his wounds, and now the family has suppressed the Feisabrun family to their own family territory and cut off Their external traffic. No matter how capable Archduke Feisabrun is, he will be like a grasshopper after autumn, he can't jump up anymore...

By the time Yuri recovers from his injury, the Cavalry Regiment must have been reorganized and trained. Lorist will accompany him to the Northeast Prairie, sweeping the grass-barbarian tribes, and sweeping away the depression in his chest. Then go to trouble with the Feisabrun family, and try to compare with the Border Rangers, who is the best light cavalry in the world.

Lorist stayed in the Cavalry Corps for half a month before returning to Rock Castle. Before leaving, he ordered the Vassimma knights to guard against the mountain barbarian tribes. Although it is expected that the eastern part of the Northland will not be attacked by the mountain barbarian tribes. You are not afraid of looting, but you are not afraid of ten thousand.

Two days after returning to Rock Castle, the rainy season in March arrived as scheduled.

After Lorist thought for a few days, Fatty Shi and Director Speer were brought in again.

"I am going to reorganize the Guards Corps and reorganize it into three Guards Corps, slightly reduce the size of the Corps, without a Corps of 75,000 people. Now our family has the entire Northland, Dremke The provinces and Winston provinces have indirectly become the jurisdictions and spheres of influence of our family, such as Kebo and Vandenus in Dremque, and Windbury and Pedro in Winston. These are all big cities and strategic locations. The strength of only 3,000 soldiers stationed in a guard battalion is indeed weak. Once an enemy attack or a change occurs, it is very likely to cope with a loss and cause great losses to the family. "

Lorist came up with an adaptation plan that he had thought about for a long time.

From a strategic point of view, Fatty Shi expressed his approval for the reorganization of the Guards: "His Royal Highness ~www.readwn.com~ As a garrison, the strength of the Guards is too thin, although the number is as high as 75,000. A large army of people, but now the family territory and sphere of influence are expanded, and there are too many places to be stationed. The Guards have already lost sight of one another. Like Shilovas Island, we have stationed a regiment of guards, and there is also the Great Hughes. The sword master sits there before we can relax...

The Northland is the largest of all the provinces in the former empire, almost three times the size of Dremque. But currently we only have ten guard battalions with 30,000 people stationed in the Northland. Although each village and town has a defense team, This time the mountain barbarians attacked, we still had to transfer the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rage Bear Knights to deal with it, and there was no way to deal with the hundred thousand mountain barbarians only with the Guards Legion.

If in the future several field armies armed by our family will go out, what should the mountain barbarian army attack again? So I think your Royal Highness should indeed expand the Guards. From a strategic point of view, at least the Guards should be able to deal with this attack by the mountain barbarians alone, at least to live defensively. "

However, Director Speer, who is in charge of the family finances, firmly expressed his opposition to the expansion of the army: "His Royal Highness, two-thirds of our family's financial expenditures are military expenditures. This is almost brutal!"
