The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 879 Recovering Tesen Valley

According to the standard classical idea of ​​building an army, among the girls who came to sign up to join the army, except for a very few special cases with extraordinary talents, most of them were even qualified to enter the women's camp as camp women (that is, the kind that everyone understands) ).

But William would definitely not be so stupid as to take these dedicated female soldiers to waste everything, not to mention that these ladies are the best future mothers, and it is not that William alone does not have a military that is suitable for female soldiers.

For example, air cavalry and mecha soldiers. In some respects, women even have some advantages over men in these arms.

In addition, there is also the problem of race. Some races seem to be born with incompatibility. For example, dwarves and elves are always difficult to get along with. shelf.

What's more interesting is that the basis for this judgment usually depends on the cognition of the dwarves.

If dwarves think they can take advantage of a fight, they usually throw their fists at elves; otherwise, gentlemen fight without fighting.On the other hand, regardless of whether the elves have the upper hand or not, if a dwarf provokes them, then fuck him.

But when the group impressions of the two races were reflected on the entire race level, the dwarves thought the elves were cunning and arrogant, while the elves slandered the dwarves for being stubborn.

However, in terms of the grass-roots organization of the new army, William still mixed several conventional combat power races together.Especially in terms of infantry units, William incorporated the formation of mandarin duck formations into it.

Of course Marshal Qi's mandarin duck formation is not an all-powerful formation, and it is not even as good as the oldest Fangyuan formation when fighting in large armies.

However, when it comes to small-scale conflicts and confrontation with super-strong individuals, the mandarin duck formation is undoubtedly sharper.After all, the original intention of the invention of the mandarin duck formation was to fight against and strangle the elite warriors of the Japanese pirates who had practiced fighting since childhood with soldiers who were ordinary civilian miners, and it has been tested and baptized in actual combat.

And William moved the mandarin duck formation to the boundary of Faerun, which is simply a perfect match.It should be noted that more than 90.00% of the conflicts and wars that have occurred and are occurring in Faerun are basically small-scale battles similar to the Japanese pirate rebellion.

It's just that the people here fight against monsters that are stronger than the elite warriors of Japanese pirates.

Moreover, the mercenaries and adventure groups whose battle plan is to strangle all kinds of powerful monsters are almost the same as the mandarin duck formation in terms of staffing.

William's approach is to use the organization of the mandarin duck formation as a blueprint, and incorporate extraordinary professionals with Faerun's characteristics into it according to their respective characteristics, thus forming an alien magic version of the mandarin duck formation battle team with Faerun's characteristics.

The formation of this combat team is about 12 people, a ranger captain who is in charge of command (also acts as a shooter), two dwarf shield warriors act as rattan players, and two halflings or dwarves who use hand crossbows or darts are responsible for luring the enemy. Three to five spearmen or archers, and two strongmen (warriors or barbarians) with multi-branched forks in place of wolves.

Conditional powerful squads may also be equipped with one or two spellcasters as a supplement.

Here I want to point out that the role of wolf soldiers was the most important part of the mandarin duck formation at the beginning of its invention, but it is not an indispensable existence for a mandarin duck formation composed of real daredevils .

At the beginning of the founding of the Yuanyang Formation, most of the soldiers under the inventor General Qi Jiguang were defeated soldiers who had lost confidence and morale after being attacked by the Japanese pirates. The soldiers played an unprecedented role in stabilizing morale in the entire array.

Wolf Whip soldiers are first of all those who dare to die. These people may not have excellent martial arts, but they must have the courage to fear death. When the enemy dances, although it cannot kill the enemy, it can greatly delay and harass the opponent, allowing the spearmen and musketeers of one's own side to have enough time and opportunity to shoot the target.

And those archers or pikemen who are not brave enough, when they see that there are two big branches in front of them protecting themselves, they will usually double their courage and give birth to a little confidence in fighting.

In this way, as long as we win a few rounds, the confidence of all the soldiers will be greatly improved, and the will to fight will naturally rise.

This is the true function of the wolf soldiers, not to kill many enemies, but to strengthen their courage and deter the enemy.There is no doubt about the role of the Wolf Whip, if you don’t believe me, you can make a monkey version of the Wolf Whip and try it out.

Make a broom with a rose branch or jujube branch full of wood thorns, and then it is best to take this thing to the street in the summer when everyone is wearing undershirts and shorts.

trust yourself!As long as you are brave enough, calm and calm, with this thing in your hand, no matter it is three or five gangsters with knives, or a dozen or so unarmed big men, you will never be able to get close to you for a while.

William got the alien version of the mandarin duck formation, naturally he didn't need wolf soldiers to improve his morale and fighting will, because his base of soldiers was more than ten times higher than that of Marshal Qi back then.

However, he still reserved this unit for a while. After all, there are all kinds of strange monsters in this world, and there are always some weird existences that make people caught off guard. I hope that the wolf soldiers can still exert their due power at that time.

In the end, William reorganized a mixed army with more than [-] people.

The basic combat organization of the legion is a mandarin duck squad of about 12 people. Three squads form a row, three rows form a company, and five companies form a battalion. The entire legion has six infantry battalions (the total number is about 200 people). .

In addition, there is an air cavalry company with more than 600 people, a mecha reserve knight with more than [-] people, and a logistics medical corps with about [-] people. The members of these three armies are basically Predominantly women.

Of course, this initially reorganized mixed army still has a lot of shortcomings. All the soldiers basically lack training, qualified officers are scarce, and it can even be said that there are no qualified officers. Many so-called squad, platoon, and company level officers Basically, they are rushing ducks to the shelves, and they have no experience in regular combat. Even most of the officers and soldiers are illiterate and cannot read a single word.

Other issues such as military supplies are nothing, not to mention that the valley itself is a rare and rich place, and William even controls the resources of the entire flame world as a background.

At some point, most of the trees in the jungle became bare, and the once green grass also turned yellow.When the cold wave in the north began to spread to the south, there were only black and white colors left in the world, and William and his entire army were still far from success.

It is really difficult for a start-up army to train. William does not lack time or supplies. What he lacks is people, people with knowledge and brains. It is difficult to solve the troubles for him.

In Faerun, the people who are truly knowledgeable and intelligent are those Mages.

Every accomplished mage is a true polymath, just like the masters among the students, aloof and arrogant, wise and alert.It's easy to let mages become your own magic consultants, but if you want even a mage apprentice to condescend to serve as a leader in the barracks, it's a little better than killing him.

In a word, the talents of the mages are very suitable for William's needs, but they are absolutely impossible to be willing to go to William's hands in large numbers to serve as tool people.

When the first snow fell, the news from Dagger Falls made William very happy, but it was the group of Time Remnants brought by William from the Chaos Narrows that came to the valley.It should be noted that these people are all high-quality talents with a high accumulation of knowledge. If these people can join William, then the shortage of talents in the valley will be alleviated as much as possible.

Of course, it's just a relief. If he really wants to completely relieve the trouble, William has to establish his own talent training system.

It's just that all of this takes time. It takes time to build an army, and even more time to cultivate talents. It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to grow a man. This is not just empty talk.

But as long as there are thousands of things to start with, then you just need to follow the steps step by step, and at most it will just take more time.

In order to welcome the arrival of those precious remnants of time, William sent out the three best-trained battalions in Faunla's large army camp to open up the Tessa River channel in the north.

The channel of the Tessa River is mainly divided by two former valley city-states, one is the Dagger Valley that William first mastered, and the other is the Tesen Valley that has been destroyed by Zhentil Castle.

Tesen Valley used to be the most important valley city-state in the north. She guarded the northern gateway of the valley area and faced the invasion of monster frenzy from the northern glaciers and wastelands.

The direct cause of the destruction of Tesen Valley was the expansion of Zhentil Castle's ambitions. As the closest valley city-state to Zhentil Castle, she would naturally become the first target of Zhentil Castle's invasion.

However, the demise of Tesen Valley also has its own factors in it.

As we all know, there are a large number of monsters almost every year, including orcs, barbarians, ogres, ice trolls, frost giants... and other terrible wild monsters roaring from the colder places in the north, and they wantonly attack cities , slaughtered, plundered, and devoured innocent people, the city-states of the Moon Sea generation basically suffered from it, and only Zhentil Fort was destroyed several times in history because of this kind of invasion.

Not to mention that there is a tragedy like Beibao that has disappeared into the dust of history, leaving only a terrifying legend of the Bell of the Deep.

In order to resist the invasion from the north, the city-states around the Moon Sea united to establish a large and well-defended chain of fortresses at the Raven Canyon, the only passage southward from the northern foot of the Longji Mountains.

This fortress chain stretches for more than ten miles, enough to accommodate a huge number of troops. It once helped the combined army of the cities of Yuanshan City, Melwart, Moormaster, Centia, Yulas and Zhentil Castle. Repelled the continuous attacks of ogres and orcs.

As the role of the fortress group in Raven Canyon became more and more obvious, and even gradually developed into a kingdom supported by the city-states of the Valley and the Moon Sea, conflicts and conflicts between Raven Fortress and the city-states arose.

Originally, this kind of conflict was limited to a state of fighting without breaking. It was just that a certain wise lord of Tesen Valley deliberately blocked the south passage of Raven Canyon in a certain winter. .

Then a terrible disaster happened.

It took a whole winter for the monsters from the cold land to break through the Raven Fortress, which lacked aid, and then frantically poured into the warm area in the south along the Raven Canyon.

This terrible disaster led to the destruction of several city-states in the north of the valley, countless villages and towns were plundered and destroyed by monsters, the North Castle was completely destroyed, and Zhentil Castle was turned into ruins and then rebuilt.

It was Tesen Valley's death behavior that led to the disintegration of the once closely cooperating northern city-state union, and the revived Zhentil Fort also began to change its position, gradually transforming from the former ordinary city into the current appearance of the evil base camp .

When the Zhentilburgers invaded and destroyed Tesen Valley, almost no city-states came forward to stop them. They either applauded directly or sneered secretly. There was only one Lord Elle Morn (Randall Morn Grandfather) foolishly went up to "mediate" the dispute, and was killed by the people of Zhentil Castle under the city wall of Taisway.

Taisway used to be the richest city in Tesen Valley, with a population of nearly 2 at its peak, but now except for a small number of residents who fled to other places, most of them have become slaves of Zhentil Fort. Enrich the most grassroots workforce in Zhentil Fort.

There are almost no aborigines in Tesway today, only the garrison from Zhentil Keep and their families and servants live here.

The Zhentil Keepers use it as their most important military base, as well as a starting point for caravans and armies on expeditions to the valley.

It can be said that if William wants to attack Zhentil Castle, Taisway is definitely a stumbling block that has to be removed.

Usually, Taisway maintains a regular garrison of hundreds of people, and when necessary, this number can reach two to 3000 people, and they are all truly elite.

However, since Saint Bane suffered a disastrous defeat in Shadow Valley, and then sent a wave of heads to Taris on the east coast of Dragon Bay, it caused Taisway's elite garrison to be drawn out, leaving only a few Miscellaneous mercenaries are filling up the local area.

After William captured Yuras and Fuenla, and spread the military preparations in the Fuenla area to Zhentil Fort, the people of Zhentil Fort immediately realized that the situation was not good, and they sent a large number of spies and The spies went south, intending to grasp the movement of William, a hostile force, while recruiting troops and dispatching elites to enrich the strength of Taisway's garrison.

When William led three battalions northward, Taisway's garrison had expanded to [-] Zhentil Fort elites, [-] auxiliary miscellaneous soldiers, and various defensive facilities had been greatly strengthened.

In other words, William and his reorganized new army faced a fierce and uphill battle.
