Chapter 24 Army Reform
In addition, Egil also appointed the Hungarian who fought with him in the second Budapest battle, and gave Egil a good surprise. Joseph, the son of the head of the Hungarian tribe, was proved to be a very excellent light cavalry general: his talent was not under General Hans Ens Carr who had tried his best to exchange points and points from the system.
In terms of age, General Qi Teng is over forty years old. Although this half-aged general still shouted: "Don't leave the Hussels even if they die"; "War a lifetime of war." But the fact is that this guy will reach the retirement age in twenty years: and his physical functions have also begun to decline. Joseph is different. The young man is twenty-two years old this year, in his battle year: and there is room for improvement in the future: the most important thing is that he is extremely loyal and worshipful to Egil. Such a general is really hard to find with a lantern. His command is also an elite of four thousand men. His organization is equal to General Qi Teng, and he is also two thousand melee cavalry, two thousand light archers who take care of long-range light archers. The number is the Third Hussar Legion, stationed in the Novosibirsk area, and is responsible for the defense, facing, and even attacking the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Egil was able to organize so many light cavalry units, which was one of the benefits of Egil's advantage in Eastern Europe; as long as there was enough money (the flash god updated the watermark), it was possible to recruit enough light cavalry with sufficient numbers and excellent soldiers. Those nomads could become excellent light cavalry as long as they had a little training and were constrained by discipline: they could become excellent light cavalry.
The melee Hussars and light archers were also the product of this military reform: in the previous war, Eigeil had tried to use the two armies of Finnish light cavalry for melee and long-range professional hussars. The final result was very good. Finally, after many considerations and repeated conversations with the light cavalry commanders of each other, the light cavalry commander, the following resolution was made to combine all the light cavalry under his command, the soldiers contributed by all the nomadic tribes, the personnel from various tribes from Hungary, Bolan, Lithuania, Tatar, Kuman, Turkey, Finland, Slav, etc., and separate from their tribes to become military households.
Among them, the data of melee cavalry are as follows: melee cavalry, He tribe; each nomadic tribe (of course, for the sake of easy command, soldiers using the Tonghe language are often assigned to a unit. The commanders of the Thousand-Man team level will be equipped with translators who are proficient in Slavic, Anwei and Turkish.) Equipment: No. 3 Norman War Horse (fast, flexible, good endurance, but low weight bearing and weak impact), and improved scimitar of gold control
, Compound cavalry round shield, modified cavalry armor (thickened, compound double-layer cowhide armor. Heart protection mirror is installed on the heart part) Skeleton marking helmet. High morale, strong physique, high training level, medium discipline: Soldiers and introduction: These fearsome nomadic warriors have undergone secondary improvement, abandoned bow and arrow technology, and specialized in cavalry scimitar rushing. As one of the two light cavalry heroes of the Norman Empire, they are proud of their ranks.
, regardless of equipment, training, combat ability, and combat will are the strongest: arrogance, unruly and fearlessness of death, which makes any commander like these guys to be competent in the fight against light infantry and light cavalry. Even when facing heavy infantry, you can still deal with it with flexibility: of course, conflicts with heavy cavalry are not their mission. The data of light archers are as follows: light archers, medieval: various nomadic tribes. Equipment: No. 3 Norman war horse, improved scimitar of gold control, compound cavalry round shield, light cavalry armor (a more lightweight single-layer cowhide armor). Short composite bows (including iron fingers, thirty bows and arrows on both pots) cavalry crossbow (light pulley crossbow, short range, but better power than compound bows and bows, including twenty-five short crossbow arrows) high morale, strong physique, high training degree, and high discipline.
Introduction to the army: Lighter archers and cavalry specializing in cavalry and guerrilla tactics. These cavalry are faster and have a looser formation. Compared to charging and cutting the enemy into two sections with scimitars, they prefer to use cavalry and shooting tactics to disturb the enemy. When the enemy can't help but send troops to pursue, they use their speed and physical strength advantages to swallow the enemy. A small number of archers and cavalry are also equipped with the latest pulley crossbows to enhance their long-range lethality (the flash god updates the watermark) and to fight against heavy armored troops.
Of course, such a policy will definitely be boycotted by those tribes. After all, no one wants to hand over the young and middle-aged labor force of their family. But this is no longer the case. The Norman Empire is no longer the poor and poor image that just occupied the Livornia and Prussia region. Even if the empire did not dispatch its main force, it would only rely on three standard garrison troops and two Hussar legions. Total total of 24,500 infantry and cavalry, and the newly formed Boduo sea fleet was also given a new mission by Egil: to form elite light ships and assault troops composed of light infantry at various estuaries in the southern part of the Boluo Sea. Advance along the river, conduct patrols and assault missions.
The Dragon-Headed Warship, which was about to be abolished, was redesigned and improved, and manufactured in large quantities - this small warship with shallow draft, fast speed and can easily be pushed forward by human force in areas with shallow rivers, and the recruited Viking pirates were also replaced with a better name: Norman light-mounted assault infantry: The entire Boluo Sea squadron has a total of more than 400 dragon-headed warships and more than 7,000 light-mounted assault infantry.
In this way, the Norman Empire had enough troops in Eastern Europe, on land, rivers, cities and grasslands, and had strong combat effectiveness. Some individual tribes that had adapted to the Norman life and lived through trade with the Normans naturally could not resist. What's more, Emperor Egil's prestige was as high as the sky, which tribe dared to resist? Not to mention that all young people were elected and joined the Norman army, they would not object.
Finally, Egil's reform measure was passed smoothly.
This is the case with the entire Eastern Military Region. It has a total of more than 30,000 troops that can be fought, and the total number of troops in the Western Military Region and the Central Military Region is even greater. The troops and the entire land are advanced together. They can be called powerful troops. Even if these troops alone can be used to capture Eastern Europe.
Of course, at least one-third of this series of reforms and military arrangements are still on paper. Especially the newly formed Third Hussar Legion, Boluo's Inland River Assault Force. These newly formed troops are seriously short of organization and require a lot of money and time to reorganize. The old troops also need further equipment replacement: military reform. These things require money.
Take a standard professional Viking Warrior Thousand-Person Team as an example. The new reform will replace the zither-type shield with a stronger and lighter kite shield. Use the improved metal-treated steel tomahawk instead of the old iron tomahawk, further popularize the plate chain composite armor, and popularize early plate armor among officers at the first level of the brigade (300 people are the first team).
In addition, the brand new battle flag of the Thousand-Person Team represented by Arabin Fu (actually invented by the Indians), the Half Phoenix Army Flag, the Emperor Egil Will Flag (Canglang Flag), the infantry combat flag (axe and shield flag), and the soldiers' clothing, clothes, officers' windfall flag and the Knight medal... Even with the help of the system, these things can save money to the maximum extent. But they still require three or five hundred gold coins (the flash god updates the watermark): while other more advanced troops, such as royal knights, assault infantry, and heavy infantry, require more money.
Through the report and budget of the Royal Advisory House, even if the Norman Empire has been in good weather for several consecutive years, it will still take some time to fully complete the installation and recruit the army that Egil expected: Well, it will be almost three to four years. It's a scam!
Egil began to consider whether to implement a tax-increasing law when implementing military reforms.
According to the military reform regulations, the Central Army of Norman should reach more than 80,000, of which 6,300 were the Imperial Guards. The three thousand-man teams of the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards' long-handed axeman and the Imperial Guards' gun array each had a thousand-man team, and three hundred Imperial Guards' knights. The sales of such an army would reach 300,000, which was more than half of Norman's monthly tax revenue.
The heavy infantry, which is renamed Norman Infantry, was formerly a professional Viking warrior. The number was 45,000, which is 45,000 teams.
Assault infantry, former Viking assault soldiers who were renamed Norman Assault Infantry, with a number of 10,000 and ten thousand men. According to the latest military reform regulations, these assault infantry officers must be equipped with early plate armor at the first level, and the long-handled battle axe was improved. Other improvements in addition were similar to those promised Norman Infantry. It only represented that the flag was replaced by the axe shield flag to the long-handled axe.
