Chapter 75
Soon, Sui Xiong got the news from Winner.
The opportunity for the merchant to win has been found by Him.
Sui Xiong hurried over, but what he saw was a scene that made him a little puzzled.
A group of people who do not look like soldiers but farmers are lined up in neat arrays and poked the target in front of them with long spears.
"What are you talking about?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.
"Yes, my clergy tells me that they are the opportunity for the merchants to win." Winner said confidently.
Sui Xiong looked carefully and shook his head repeatedly: "I bet with you that the most combat experience among them will never kill more than a rooster in their life!"
Although he did not have a clergy in war, he also had profound attainments in areas such as war and combat. After witnessing the desperate battle between the two main gods, especially the last sword of the human main god Uther Jean, gave him a deep sense of urgency. Therefore, after obtaining the legacy of the previous Sun God, the first thing he worked hard to study was these things that could immediately improve combat effectiveness.
With his ability, he naturally could not tell whether he wanted to fight or the winning trend of both sides of the war, but facing a group of soldiers, it was still easy to see how high their combat effectiveness they were.
At this moment, in his opinion, the basic attributes of these soldiers were good, each of them was strong and strong. What is rare is that everyone has a good character and no bad habits, which is very beneficial to the military atmosphere. However, these soldiers have generally low experience and do not have the blood accumulated from fighting. At a glance, you can tell that they were still working as farmers or workers not long ago.
Sui Xiong really doesn't like their combat effectiveness for such soldiers.
Winner smiled slightly: "There is no problem for killing less. The key to the combat effectiveness of the army lies in equipment and training. In practice, it is not that important. Anyway, as long as the hard power is achieved, you will have practical experience in fighting a little bit of battle. This is actually the least valuable."
"Huh?" Sui Xiong was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Don't the powerful army have to go through many battles?"
"The army can survive a hundred battles, but the soldiers cannot. Swords have no eyes. How many people in the world can fight for the rest of their lives? Wenner smiled and shook his head, "So there is an important principle in the way of training: practice is the main focus. In general, problems that can be solved by training should not be solved by actual combat."
"I thought you were a firm practical person."
"I have been beaten to death by the firm practical faction."
Sui Xiong laughed loudly when he said it and nodded repeatedly.
He doesn't understand military tactics and has little experience in training. Despite Crick's practice over the years, compared with Winner, the authentic god of war, he is probably the level of an amateur. Since Winner thinks these people can become stronger by training, that's what it means.
"But I never understand. They are training now, is it too late?" Sui Xiong looked at it for a while and couldn't help asking.
"Not too late, let alone the war has not started yet, even if the war has already started. At the beginning, it will only be some small frictions on the border. When it develops into a full-scale war, it will take at least a few more years... In the future, at least, there will be no real war between the north and the south in the next five years." Winner's judgment on the war is undoubtedly the most authoritative, and no one will question this point. "Five years are enough for them to grow into a reliable strong army."
Sui Xiong then fully understood and finally felt relieved.
They just looked at the group of rookies who had just picked up their weapons for a while and after a while, Winner suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, the appearance of this army has a lot to do with you."
"Ah?" Sui Xiong wondered, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't you have a Holy Spirit named Crick Keane? This kind of military training method was first proposed by him. Several powerful nobles sent by the merchants were looking for reliable military training methods because they did not have a truly reliable army. They searched for it and finally found the Keane leader." The envoys of Winner had just sent a report, which was about this matter. "In order to obtain the training secrets of the Keane family, the merchants paid a great price."
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and quickly checked the relevant situation through the priests and believers stationed in Keen City.
The Void Mask Church has a great influence in Keen's territory. The contemporary Baron Keen, Anna Keen, is a believer of Sui Xiong, and the scheduled next generation lord, her eldest son, Louis Keen, is naturally a member of the Void Mask Church, and is also a priest. Although he is not even a middle class, this identity itself is enough to illustrate the problem.
More importantly, the matter that Louis Keane personally handled the training methods of the Keane family to the Gold Coin Federation Merchant.
About three months ago, when there was still a big quarrel in the Grand Council venue, several more visionary and powerful businessmen had already sent people to Keen City to try to negotiate with the Keen family, wanting to learn the Keen family's training methods.
Unlike ordinary nobles, the Keane family never recruited adventurers to adapt them into an army, nor did they recruit strong rogues or villains. They always recruited soldiers among civilians with innocent wealth and good character, and then after long-term training, they trained these people as loyal, brave, tenacious and warlike soldiers.
Over the years, Baron Keane has clashed with other nobles around him more than once, and has used his troops to fight several times. In each battle, this army has shown a very different style from ordinary troops - they are not very powerful than those traditional troops, but they are particularly obedient and tenacious. More than once, they have endured nearly 20% of casualties and fought bravely, and eventually defeated enemies who may be stronger than them.
Merchants are not short of money, but they have always lacked a truly reliable army. The combat effectiveness of mercenaries is undoubtedly, but they are really not reliable enough. It is fine if they are in adversity, but once they fall into adversity, they will often suddenly collapse and look like they are running wildly.
Of course, there are loyal and reliable mercenaries among the mercenaries, but even if the merchants have money, they cannot hire too many such troops - because their number is already small.
For example, the famous "mountain halberd halberd" is an extremely loyal and reliable excellent army. But even if the merchants sent almost all the mercenaries that could be recruited on the mainland over the years, they could not get a thousand people.
To fight small frictions at the border, this number is certainly enough, but if we want to completely turn against the nobles and start a full war, this number is not even enough for the vanguard army.
Therefore, the merchants attached great importance to the training techniques of the Keen family. After getting them at a large price and many political costs, they adjusted their actual situation and then impatiently formed several experimental armies and began actual training.
Sui Xiong and Wenner saw one of them.
