Lord Harland.

Chapter 124 Reorganization of Auxiliary Soldiers
Li Cha and the others stayed in Heihe City for two days before receiving the order to move out.

Baron Sharp just came from the territory yesterday. The quality of the army he brought is not bad. Although the equipment is not as good as that of the Harland territory, the soldiers are veterans who have been in the army for many years. Many of them are from the Wild Lion Legion. soldier.

Including the squadron brought by Baron Sharp, the aristocratic coalition army commanded by Li Cha has ten squadrons in total, five of which have good combat effectiveness, and the remaining five squadrons are hard to describe.

On the contrary, there were more than a dozen guards protecting the baron, all riding tall horses.

The five barons also have monster mounts. If these people are organized, their combat effectiveness should not be weak.

The morale of the serf soldiers was very low. As soon as they left Heihe Fort, they became scattered and barely moved thirty miles after walking for a day.

This army did not carry heavy logistics supplies, and there were military depots along the way for supplies. Such a marching speed, in the Chenxi Continent, could be called a slow march.

Li Cha observed for a day and found that many serf soldiers lacked nutrition and their physical fitness was severely depleted.

It seems that the selection of Baron Rice and others is probably not the strongest, but the weakest.

"It's really cheating to be a teammate with such an army."

Li Cha shook his head, dispelling the haze in his heart, pig teammates are teammates after all, even if they are cannon fodder, it is better than no teammates.

Along the Dragon Canyon, one hundred kilometers south to Wright County.

Consul Jerram gave them only four days.

If they can't reach Wright County within four days, they will be punished for failing to meet their deadlines.

If there is no delay in the fighter plane and great losses are caused, the crime of losing time is not very serious, and fines are generally imposed on hereditary nobles.

The amount of fines varies, ranging from tens to hundreds of gold coins.

Li Cha and Jerram have a bad relationship, and it is estimated that he will be punished severely, with a fine of several hundred gold coins.

A fine of several hundred gold coins is also very painful for Li Cha.

I only walked thirty miles on the first day, so I can't continue procrastinating on the second day.

However, the serf soldiers who had just been organized had very loose military discipline and average physical fitness, and had no ability to march long distances at all.

Even though Li Cha made an example of others and dealt with two deserters, he only traveled forty miles the next day.

Seeing the evening, Li Cha had no choice but to set up camp.

The serf soldiers were swaying here and there, and they didn't know how to build camps at all. Many people still had the habit of defecating everywhere, making the camp smelly, which made Li Cha very annoyed, and wanted to kill again.

The next 130 miles will be completed in two days. Looking at the quality of the serf soldiers under his command, Li Cha also feels a little confused.

In the evening, Li Cha called the main officers together, and said straight to the point: "I think we will separate tomorrow. The main squadron will go to Wright City first, and the auxiliary soldiers will follow behind."

"Baron Li Cha, I'm afraid there will be problems if you leave the auxiliary soldiers behind. Without the main force to suppress them, a large number of auxiliary soldiers will flee. I don't think the crime of failure is not very serious, why don't you wait?"

After finally hugging Li Cha's thigh, it is natural to act together.Hearing the news that Li Cha was going to divide his troops, Baron Duck instinctively objected.

"I haven't been punished for fighting. I really can't afford to lose this man. I think when it's time to divide the troops, we should divide the troops."

Baron Sharp rolled his eyes and retorted unceremoniously.

Baron Sharp has been in the main army for many years, and he is also the first generation of meritorious baron, stronger than other barons.In the past two days, I have also been very displeased with the serf soldiers brought by other lords.

In Baron Sharp's understanding, such soldiers are of no use in war.

"The serf soldiers are too lazy, and they can't be trained in a short time. I think otherwise, relying on the method of veterans leading new soldiers, organize five squadrons of serf soldiers into five main squadrons, and reorganize the baron's soldiers into the second cavalry squadron." squadron.

Try it out tomorrow, see if it works?If not, the five main squadrons will march overnight tomorrow night and arrive at Wright City the day after tomorrow. "

Although the five Barons of Rice wanted to object, they were not strong enough to speak loudly.

If they all come out with the main force, Richard must consider their opinions.

The ones brought out now are all serf soldiers and cannon fodder soldiers. If they don't accept the reorganization, Li Cha will abandon them.

In this case, their fate is already doomed. First, they will be convicted of failure in Wrightburg, and then they will be used as consumables by Jerome.

At that time, the soldiers under his command will be exhausted, and he may not be able to save his life.

It's better to follow Li Cha. Anyway, I still have the parents and relatives of the serf soldiers in my hands. Even if Li Cha wanted to annex the serf soldiers after the war, the soldiers couldn't bear to abandon their homes and businesses.He may not be willing to follow Richard back to Harland.

A slave in the prime of life cost 150 gold coins, and a serf squadron of [-] soldiers was worth at least [-] gold coins. As long as it was not a last resort, the baron lord would not give up soldiers easily.

In the end, under Li Cha's strict request, Baron Rice and others agreed to Li Cha's request.

Early the next morning, Li Cha disbanded the five serf squadrons and incorporated them into the main squadron.

The soldiers of the main force squadron are required to lead one by one, and the main force leads the auxiliary soldiers. They must complete the task of marching sixty miles.

There are veterans with them, and they will fight if they are not obedient.

The performance of the serf soldiers has finally improved a lot. Whenever they are too tired, the veterans will help them carry a piece of luggage, so that the serf soldiers can relax a little bit.
In the evening, the task was finally completed, and the sixty-mile journey was completed.

After walking [-] miles today, the serf soldiers' physical strength and will have been tempered. If they grit their teeth and persist tomorrow, they should be able to walk the last [-] miles before dark and arrive at Wright City.

In the early morning of the next day, under Li Cha's example, he buried the pot and cooked food before dawn, and walked more than 40 miles in one morning.

After lunch, I took a rest.Gritting my teeth, I finally arrived at Wright Castle before dark.

Letting the soldiers camp outside the city, Li Cha brought several officers into the city and handed in the call-up order.

After marching for four consecutive days, Li Cha deeply felt that the quality of this auxiliary army was low.

Since it is difficult to improve their physical fitness in a short period of time, they can only think of a way to enhance their ability to march long distances.

After thinking about it, Li Cha decided to make a batch of leggings to see if it would work.

Early the next morning, Richard arranged for someone to buy a batch of coarse cloth in Wright County, and then cut them into leggings and distributed them to the soldiers.

Just after finishing this matter, I received an order to hold a meeting in the city.

Li Cha entered the City Lord's Mansion with the main officers.It was found that the aristocratic coalition forces from the two counties of Luomen and Wright had arrived at the venue, and there were also major officers of the two brigades of the Northern Legion, including Richard's third uncle Bernie.

It turned out that the Sixth Battalion was also in the counter-insurgency army.

William of the Sixth Brigade has been operating for more than ten years, and his brother Bernie is still serving as the deputy captain. Although the captain has changed, William's influence may last for many years.

With the care of his teammate from the Sixth Brigade, Li Cha felt relieved.
