Chapter 261 Reorganization Plan

Roger announced: "During this renovation period, I will reorganize the entire army.

“I plan to divide the troops into three echelons.

"The first echelon was all cavalry, mainly William's cavalry regiment.

"When you set out at the end of the month, the first echelon will reach Phellomerim at full speed."

Roger pointed with his hand at the city closest to Dorile on the map.

William interrupted from the side, "Don't worry, I have experience in leading cavalry.

“And I was also annoyed to walk with these mud legs.

"It's just that siege is a bit troublesome, after all, horses can't climb walls."

Roger did not stop William from interrupting. He felt that he could not treat his friendly forces with the same style as his direct line.

He said: "The mission of the first echelon is to clear obstacles along the way for the follow-up troops.

"After the first echelon arrives at Fillo Melim, it must be blocked, besieged, and choose the right place to build a camp."

William interrupted, "It doesn't sound difficult."

Roger continued: “The second tier is the main force, composed of all those who can fight, including formal soldiers and strong pilgrims.

"The second echelon is dominated by my mercenary group.

"All personnel in the mercenary group are promoted to first level. Soldiers are promoted to squad leader, squad leader is promoted to squadron leader, and so on.

"The Duke's infantry, regardless of whether they were originally organized or not, were all broken up and absorbed into my mercenary group.

"The former soldiers of my mercenary group and the current squad leader, each of them strives to manage twenty soldiers.

"As for the Duke's infantry, the original officers, those lower-level knights who were not qualified to go to the hot springs with the Duke, all gathered together, equipped them with horses, formed a team of staff officers, and followed me.

"When you start at the end of the month, the second tier needs to arrive at Philomeilim as soon as possible.

"They took over the siege mission in the first echelon and then took on the final siege mission."

Roger knocked on the table twice.

He said: "The army must look like an army."

"Now, the situation where soldiers and merchants, women, elderly, and children are mixed together, without queues and without command, must change!"

William interrupted, "What does this matter? Anyway, it's all mud legs. Just let them rush up when siege. As long as there are too many people, no city can be defeated."

Roger pretended not to hear, and he continued:

"The second tier, Danny, led by you, Zarro and Shana assisted."

Danny directly agreed and said, "Yes, ensure that the task is completed."

Shana and Zarro also readily accepted the order.

Roger warned Danny: "Your mission is very heavy, and marching and siege are not the most difficult.

“Adaptation is the most difficult.

"Those Shenluo people, not us Normans, will not be obedient, let alone, they cannot understand our words."

William interrupted, "A whip is enough to deal with these mud legs, so where do you need to talk to them."

Roger nodded and said, "This reorganization is very tight, so there is no time to do anything together.

“My idea is to establish an absolute superior and subordinate relationship.

“To achieve this, Danny, I allow you to use force.

"As William said, with a whip, or even a sword.

"These reorganized soldiers must obey our commands, and kill a few Jing Monkeys for those who are stubborn and unwilling to obey orders."

William interrupted curiously, "Respect the monkey? What is a monkey?"

Roger ignored William. He knew that Danny could understand. Roger told the story of the East during training in Sicily.

Danny nodded and agreed.

William turned to ask his men: "Who do you know the monkey?"

A jazz whispered: "I guess he had a mistake. I guess he wanted to talk about marmots. I've seen that thing, and there are on the Alps."

Roger ignored the whispers of these people, and looked at Odin and said, "Odin, you are in the second echelon with our cavalry.

"But your cavalry does not expand, there are not so many horses here.

“In addition to assisting Danny in completing the reorganization, you also have to be responsible for the guards while on the way.

"After all, according to the information of the Eastern Expedition, the Turks had a large number of cavalry and were all good at riding and shooting.

"When the second echelon is marching, if it is harassed by the enemy's sporadic cavalry and shooting troops, without the protection of the cavalry, it will seriously delay the marching.

"In addition, if there are deserters when the second echelon is marching, there will be no mercy."

William said in surprise: "Oh, you don't care about those who can't keep up along the way from Nicea?"

Roger explained politely: "I was not in a state of fighting before. Those who were separated and could not keep up will not shake the morale of the army.

"But then enter the enemy's territory. If someone escapes without punishment, the other soldiers will be lucky. When the battle is tense, they will choose to escape instead of fighting to the end."

William nodded and said, "It makes sense.

"In the past, before my cavalry rushed to the enemy's formation, the mud legs began to escape.

"And the last time you fought with you, your infantry faced our charge, and there was no one running away.

"They must be scared of being killed by you."

Roger knew that William only saw the surface and did not understand his method of training.

But he didn't plan to explain that he was not William's teacher, so why bother explaining it too clearly?

Roger continued to deploy, he said:

"The next third echelon is the eliminated old, weak, sick, disabled and young.

"By the way, there's still pregnancy, it's so hell. There are pregnant women in my army."

Roger shook his head and turned the topic back, he said:

"The task of the third echelon is to deliver supplies.

"The first two teams only carry a small amount of supplies to increase the speed of the march.

"All supplies and supplies must be taken care of by the third echelon.

"These people can't do war, they can always do some hard work.

"For safety, the third echelon is temporarily staying in Dorile and cannot set off.

"When the second tier takes over the first tier and besiege Philomeilim, I send the first tier cavalry back to cover them."

William interrupted, "Don't call me this job, let me cover up the garbage. Will I still have the face if it is heard?"

Roger ignored William, he said:

"Mutiyi, you are my logistics manager, and you are responsible for this third echelon.

"However, I still need your help with the translation, so you can't stay in the third tier forever."

Muttier stared at her eyes and said, "I can't live a mess, I'm very busy."

Roger snorted and said, "Are you busy? What are you busy with?"

"Don't think I don't know. You're busy writing novel scripts, right? Is that what you should do?"

"I used my spare time and did not delay my business."

"But you could have done better."

“I have the right to rest.”

William interrupted: "Why are your translator so awesome? I suggest giving him a whip."

Muttier immediately retracted his head and said nothing.
