Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 232 Expansion of the Army
Therefore, Di Feng planned to expand a regiment. Originally, a regiment had three battalions under it and four directly under the brigade, with a total strength of 300.

Now each battalion has expanded from the original 800 people to 1000 people, adding an infantry brigade.And a regiment has four battalions and directly subordinate troops, with a total strength of 5000 people.

Such a standard infantry regiment has three rune rifle battalions, one shield battalion, and directly subordinate cavalry, heavy weapons, medical care, and a large team of supplies.

However, Di Feng thinks that the most perfect thing is when it is normal to have an armored force as the front line force, but now the Qinghe collar's technology is not up to the mark, so for the time being, they can only use the sword and shield soldiers as the front line force.

In the previous raid, the Qinghe leader took down five cities in the Kingdom of Death. In these five cities, all the nobles and bullies who oppressed the people were executed by public trial.

Afterwards, relying on the supplies of those nobles, the Qinghe leader established a governance organization that directly reached the village, and at the same time began to recruit troops on a large scale.

Because both Di Feng and Zhang Xiu foresee that the fifteen cities and core areas in the entire kingdom of death have a large population, and they are all young and strong. Next, Qinghe understands that there will be fierce battles to be fought. Trust the Qinghe leader more, and recruit troops as soon as possible.

Moreover, the total population of the five cities occupied by these two cities is estimated to be more than one million. With such a scale, and the food seized from the nobles of the city, Di Feng and Zhang Xiu recruited as many soldiers as possible.

Therefore, before Di Feng started the battle, [-] new soldiers had been recruited, and another [-] new soldiers had been recruited in the follow-up wars. After winning the first battle against the troops from the kingdom of death, the people under his rule had more confidence.

Those common people saw the hope of overthrowing the kingdom of death, so more young and strong began to sign up enthusiastically. Afterwards, Qinghe led a total of [-] recruits, which can be said to have recruited one-third of the young and strong among the people under its rule.

Moreover, these young and strong men are all adult men. With recruits, Di Feng immediately issued orders to the subordinate units, and each unit recruited new recruits and completed the expansion.

So the Wolf Totem Army, the First Field Regiment, the Second Field Regiment, the Third Field Regiment, and the First Border Defense Regiment, all the veterans who participated in the war were promoted, and new recruits were added, so that each regiment reached a full force of 5000 people. It is the fourth field regiment.

Afterwards, a batch of rune weapon hunting suits was delivered from the rear, and training began.

Moreover, the third border defense regiment deployed on the front line also passed the recruits sent before, and also completed the expansion and expanded into the fifth field regiment.

But Di Feng was not at ease just because of the expansion, so Hu Ping's recruit training camp recruited enough recruits to expand into the Sixth Field Regiment.

In this way, 5000 recruits are only 600 recruits, and there are [-] recruits. Later, Di Feng asked the Baiyu Army to expand, from the original three [-]-man cavalry battalions to five thousand-man cavalry battalions.

In addition, the recruits also formed five border defense regiments of 2000 people, with disabled veterans and militiamen as the backbone, training and patrolling.

After that, Di Feng saw that he had no veterans in his hands to form a new regiment. After thinking about it, Di Feng divided 3 recruits from the recruits and sent them to the rear of Qinghe.

Because of the large-scale deployment of troops from the rear this time, some counties lost border defense regiments, and only the Women's Army and two border defense regiments remained in the northern defense zone.

Now the war in the south seems to be impossible to end in a short time. If there is another war in the north at this time, then only one women's army may not be able to stop it. Li Xiuning must be given more manpower.

Therefore, of the 2000 recruits who returned with the transport team, [-] of them were matched with the remaining border defense regiments in various places, reorganized the border defense regiments in Nancheng County and Qinghe City, and expanded all the border defense regiments to [-] people.

At the same time, the remaining 4000 recruits were counted into Li Xiuning's Women's Army. Li Xiuning's Women's Army was reorganized and expanded from the original 5000 people to four groups of [-] people, as well as the corresponding troops directly under them. The designations of the four groups were field eight to eleven.

In this way, the 4000-strong Detachment Army plus [-] border guards are enough to deal with the surprise attack of the northern monsters.

For the remaining [-] troops, Di Feng cooperated with the mixed militia to form six recruit infantry regiments, numbered from the first regiment to the sixth regiment, and they were temporarily training in Beibei County.

With such a conscription, there is no shortage of food in Qinghe for the time being, but rune rifles and rune weapon armor have become scarce. Even if the factory in the rear is running continuously, it will not be able to satisfy the hunting outfits of [-] troops for a while.

Therefore, the first batch of rune weapons shipped over were allocated to the expanded old troops, and the remaining six new regiments just carried out simple training with ordinary alloy weapons.

However, in order to form these six recruit regiments, Di Feng also specially selected some veterans from various veteran troops to appoint them as regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and preachers at all levels to ensure that the recruits could quickly grasp the combat knowledge of Qinghe collar.

In addition to the [-] recruits, Zhang Xiu also recruited [-] workers. For the tasks of the [-] workers, [-] of them were sent to the rear counties with their families. Factories can also continue to expand production, and some barren land can also be opened up for planting.

Another 5 people formed ten construction teams, and began to build roads connecting Nancheng County and Beibei County with cement and other materials transported from Nancheng County.

At the same time, there is a new road extending south from Dongyuan County to Huishi County. Because there are enough people, it is not a problem to open mountains to build roads, or to quarry.

Although 20 young adults have been confiscated from the remaining villagers, due to the perennial suppression of the kingdom of death, the remaining people are still young and middle-aged laborers.

Under the guidance of the agricultural personnel in Qingheling, these people began to plant on the allocated farmland. With Qingheling's iron farm tools and high-yield crops such as potatoes, as long as they can wait until the harvest, these five counties will not lack food.

Even if five cities were occupied in the kingdom of death, the High Priest of the God of Death, as the lord, did not panic. After all, he just lost some human beings, and these human beings were nothing more than animals in the eyes of the High Priest.

Even if it is all lost, it will be restored in a few years, and from time to time there are humans collected by the mist exploration, so the high priest doesn't care about Qinghe Territory occupying one-third of the territory.

On the contrary, it was the special abilities exhibited by Qingheling's legion that aroused the interest of the high priest. It was precisely because of these special abilities that the Mummy Legion lost its overwhelming advantage, even the Death Warrior Legion of the Scorpion King.

For the time being, the High Priest of Death feels that he needs to transform a group of mummies to fight against the enemy's intelligence, and the Scorpion King also applied to the High Priest for a batch of strong and fresh corpses to supplement his troops because he lost a group of Death Warriors in battle.

Regarding this, the high priest didn't think about it, and ordered his subordinate city lord to arrest a group of young and middle-aged men to replenish the Scorpion King's troops.

As a result, the Reaper Kingdom was expanding its army, and Di Feng was also training. The two sides did not fight for the time being, and fell into a quiet stalemate for a while.
