Rise In Calradia

Chapter 132: : The bottleneck of development

  ’’ lined up in an array, ready to charge! ‘’

   At the request of Byron, Fatis began to uniformly train the more than one hundred cavalry now owned by the Peony mercenaries, training them to use the "wall charge" requested by Byron.

  Because most of these cavalry are mercenaries, and most of them are veteran cavalry who hire riders to go up. They have good riding skills and sufficient experience, so they don’t have much difficulty in training.

  The shortcoming of each is that Byron has limited understanding of this cavalry tactics, so the combat effectiveness cannot be maximized.

   After the last battle, Byron replaced half of the lesser quality or heavier damaged equipment with silver coins, and the rest was distributed to the soldiers in the team. Especially the cavalry troops, they are all the best among the trophies.

   A large number of heavy cavalry wearing mail armor, even breastplate and plate armor, riding on armored war horses, lined up in a dense formation, when charging towards the enemy's formation, it is almost like a tank crushing the past. Enemy infantry and cavalry troops in a chaotic formation could not last long under this impact.

The last time they used this formation, Byron and the others achieved a lot of results, so Byron also plans to extend this method to all of his cavalry, so that they can quickly form a suitable one when they need to attack. queue.

   Of course, because the loss of the soldiers in front of the opponent's formation would be extremely high, so Byron had to strengthen the discipline requirements of the opponent's soldiers. Otherwise, the soldiers in the front will be afraid of losing too much, which will affect the attack of the soldiers behind, and even destroy the entire offensive formation.

  Byron remembered a hero in the game, Resalit who ruled the army with high standards and strict military discipline. It would be no problem if he had trained to that standard. But now Byron has no news of him, and in the mercenary army, too strict discipline can sometimes be counterproductive.

   In these ten days, Byron and the others have basically spent their lives in villages and towns near Norma. Because he earned some silver coins, but also to win people's hearts, Byron looked very generous, not only held a large-scale open-air banquet, but also paid for the outstanding soldiers to find women in the bathhouse to enjoy. Of course, he is still the same as before, resolutely not going there.

   In case of catching some terrible disease, this life will be ruined. However, Byron also remembered that there is a romantic place in Paravin that can only be accessed by the upper class. The young ladies there are very high-level, and the appearance is very good, if it is not good, he can spend some money to enjoy it there. Of course, this kind of thing will have to be considered after the war is over.

   When the cavalry unit was training for a wall-type offensive, the infantry unit also began a new round of upgrades and changes. Byron equipped them with seized equipment, and many hired sentries with sufficient experience but limited economic conditions have upgraded their ranks as a result. There are also some caravan guards who have also put on their full body armor and have been promoted to the level of hired chess players.

   But if you go up further, it is very difficult to upgrade.

   Hiring riders up, the equipment and experience requirements are very high, and the problem of horses is always bothering him.

   Caravan escorts only need a brave traveling horse. Hiring riders requires strong hunting horses and fast steeds. Level 5 cavalry, such as mercenary cavalry, are equipped with military horses that can withstand the weight of heavy horse armor and heavy-duty riders. These horses are of good breed and require a long time to train. Even Swadia, a cavalry country famous for its heavy cavalry, can produce hundreds of military horses in a year, and most of them are used by nobles. We made an appointment in advance.

   And in terms of price, it is also difficult for mercenaries to bear. The army horse that Byron had obtained from the counterfeit knight and the mail armor on his body were worth three or four hundred dinars on the market. If you want to arm 100 heavy cavalry, it will cost at least 30,000. In addition to the whole body mail, plate armor or breastplate, as well as cotton robes and other parts, a fully armed Swadia heavy cavalry unit costs a minimum of 50,000 dinars, excluding supplies and maintenance fees.

   Byron's heavy cavalry were all equipped with their own equipment, so Byron did not spend much. But once there was a loss, Byron would have money to make up for it. If he wants to train his heavy cavalry unit, then he has to afford this huge expense.

   After spending 3,000 dinars on a horse farm near Norma to buy twenty good horses, Byron no longer dared to charge forward like the cavalry that used to attack the pirates in Vijay. Sometimes, war horses are more valuable than the lives of many ordinary soldiers, and the death of one horse will make him feel painful.

   The cost of heavy cavalry is high and scary, and the cost of heavy infantry is also not low. So far, Byron’s level 4 infantry has only 5 Swadia infantry, and 25 mercenary infantry ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If the limitation of cavalry is cavalry and horses, elite infantry sees the battlefield. The foundation of experience and training.

   Except for the equipment that is indistinguishable from the heavy cavalry, every fully armed regular heavy infantry must undergo rigorous training and be able to form a formation on the battlefield to stabilize its position. Otherwise, just find a group of gangsters wearing the same equipment to rush over, and the opponent will turn into a pot of porridge in one round of offense, or they will pit themselves.

   The strength of the infantry in Byron's army looks good, but if you encounter an enemy of the level of the Rhodok heavy infantry phalanx, the probability of winning the Peony Mercenary is too low if the number is quite large.

   There are also long-range troops, which are the shortcomings of Peony mercenaries. Although the number of regular crossbowmen exceeds 30, and nearly half of the soldiers in the army will use crossbows and are also equipped with captured Rhodok crossbows, the level is still very limited and can only be suppressed by the number. Vicia's bow and arrow troops are still too poor.

   But what can be done, Byron doesn't even have 20,000 dinars on hand now, even if he sells all the spoils, he is still far from the elite troops he imagined that the king would pay attention to.

   This is also an important reason that Byron has always wanted to become a noble lord. If you have your own territory, you will have a large amount of tax and customs income. If there are forests and mines in the territory, it would be better. Moreover, the leader must also serve him, making him more convenient in all aspects.

   Ten days is very short, and I can’t do much. However, Byron still provided the best possible rest conditions for his soldiers, and gave the wounded the best convalescent environment available in this area.

   To purchase consumed horses and armaments to replenish supplies. When it comes to Fort Gruen Ward, I am afraid there will be more dirty work waiting for their mercenaries.
