Chapter 328 178.
In addition to Sirsis, Darkos also found several fear lords in the Druchi army in the new era, such as Dorien and Ms. Viena, who had served in the northern stronghold, from Nagol Baclon of the No. 1, Selire from the Hell Calamity family, and some previously disabled civilian veterans were randomly selected. Most of these Druchi who served on land were veterans and real professional soldiers.
After many days of repeated discussions, the framework was finally set.
Next, Nagaros is really going to be shaken up.
The infantry consists of 5 men per tent, consisting of 2 Dread Spearmen, 2 Black Sharp Crossbowmen and 1 Dark Swordsman. Instead of using 4 people per tent, there is also an auxiliary soldier or slave who carries supplies or repairs equipment and acts as a handyman to serve the 4 soldiers. Druchi does not say this, they are all Malekith's mules. Usually everyone is in charge.
The 2 tents formed a team. The captain who managed these 2 tents was renamed by Darkus, from the original "captain" to "ten-captain". The captain of ten is elected by the soldiers in the two tents. He is usually the most prestigious, the most capable, the strongest, and the most experienced in the two tents. The captain of ten will assist in executing orders during the march, maintain order when the soldiers fall behind, and direct the soldiers in the squad to fight in small-scale battles. However, in large-scale battles, the captain of ten will have no tactical responsibilities. Instead, he will serve as the first to ascend or to Vanguard.
The Dread Spearmen consider themselves to be real warriors. They even disdainfully think that the Gloomy Swordsmen are just a group of showy men who cannot go to the battlefield. In the baptism of blood, they learned the power of discipline and the power of a solid shield wall with spear points. Therefore, the Dread Spearmen have become the great wall in the army that every Dread Lord can rely on.
All Drukis have intolerable arrogance, but the arrogance of the swordsmen is still outstanding in the entire Nagaros. Each one of them believed that he was the greatest warrior of his generation, that he needed no help from others and that danger was nothing to them. Sadly, the swordsmen gave up their spears and repeating crossbows - in their eyes, the former was a peasant's toy and the latter was a coward's trick.
Why did Druch abandon melee weapons because it was more tempting to take the enemy's life from a distance. After being equipped with repeating crossbows with built-in magazines, these black-sharp repeating crossbowmen have the ability to safely spray arrows at the enemy behind the battle line that are enough to penetrate steel armor, or advance to the front of the formation and launch attacks on other Druchi. Before charging, weaken the enemy's line with a volley of fire. Although other warriors are quite disdainful of them because these people are vulnerable in close combat, the Black Sharp Crossbowmen are still full of pride in their shooting memories, and their cruel nature is not inferior to that of other Druchi.
What is this? It's so stereotyped, get the hell out of here! If they don't agree with each other, they will die together. To put it bluntly, Druchi is the product of Malekith's will. The Druchi army pays attention to discipline! discipline! Now that we have added a system, there is no need to be arrogant, let alone aggressive.
Reaper Ballista Squadron, 1 team is equipped with 4 units, with a total of 32 soldiers. There are 4 soldiers per tent, and a Reaper ballista is manned by 2 soldiers, that is, 8 soldiers. The gun body, base, and crossbow body are managed and operated by 1 soldier respectively. 4 soldiers are responsible for supplying ammunition and acting as grooms. Guards, and a captain of ten is in charge of command.
In addition, the Reaper Ballista Team will be equipped with 4 Hussite Druchi standard military carriages adjusted by Darkus. Both sides of the carriage are equipped with two sections of thin steel planks and floor supports that can withstand bow and arrow fire. According to the situation of the battle, It needs to be adjusted by yourself, or like Sandoku's self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, you can let the ballista shoot in the air or flatly, or you can let the ballista shoot through the shooting hole, or shoot through the back of the carriage.
This has many advantages. During small-scale operations, you can build a vehicle barrier system according to the terrain or use horse-drawn carriages to move quickly to occupy key positions. In the future, the tactics of emergency stop shooting may be extended. During large-scale operations, vehicles placed on horse-drawn carriages can be used. You can raise your altitude to perform suppressive shooting to provide cover for teammates in front.
Although the configuration of the Reaper Ballista Team accounts for one-third of a hundred-man team, this configuration is a must. You must know that there are many things in this world that require ballistas to deal with, which is rounded up to the company-level heavy firepower. .
Moreover, the Reaper ballista needs to be developed in the future. Although it cannot reach the firepower density of Katyusha, it is still possible like Sandoko's NbW41 six-barrel rocket launcher. If it is not possible, add some sugar.
In addition, each centurion is also equipped with a logistics team. The team is equipped with 4 military carriages and a light field kitchen trailer. The military vehicle is used to store tools for camping and garrisoning, wounded soldiers, medicines, reserve weapons and armor, and crossbows. Supplies and other materials, the soldiers of this team will build defensive vehicle barriers as needed during small-scale battles. During large-scale battles, they will act as a reserve team to supplement other teams or act as a medical team to drag injured soldiers to the vehicle. Get emergency treatment.
As for the soldiers' weapons and armor, as well as lunch boxes and kettles, tents and bedding for camping are carried by themselves.
Of course, a hundred-man team must not lack a flag bearer, and there are three flag bearers.
The commander who manages the centurion is still called the "centurion" before. This position is appointed from the top down and is not elected by the soldiers in the 2 tents like the captain of ten. Once you become a centurion, you will have the power of life and death within your centurion. On the battlefield, the centurion stands at the front of the centurion and commands, standing in the most dangerous position. To put it bluntly, he is an elite vanguard.
Each centurion also has a "deputy commander", or second commander. These deputy commanders are responsible for the training and discipline of the centurion. When necessary, such as if the centurion dies in battle, the deputy commander will take over the command of the centurion. In large-scale battles, the deputy commander will stay at the back of the centurion, playing the role of military police and supervising the battle.
Such a centurion could maintain a stable formation when leading the troops, and no soldiers could escape from the battlefield. Even if they wanted to run away... they couldn't.
The Centurion is the most basic common organizational unit of Druchi's conventional army in combat. A Centurion consists of 10 infantry squads, which is 100 soldiers, plus a Reaper Ballista squad and a logistics squad, for a total of 142 soldiers, 12 decanurs, 1 centurion, 1 deputy commander, 3 flag bearers, 4 Reaper ballistas, 40 horses, 8 military vehicles and 1 light field kitchen trailer.
After that came the brigade, consisting of five centurions. Each brigade has its own independent bugle system, so that command signals can be received without the need for a herald.
According to the organization of the Roman Legion, there was no formal commander of the brigade. The command structure was borne by the most experienced centurion in the brigade, who directed the operations of the entire brigade. The chief centurion commanded his own centurion and would also Issue orders to other centurions, thus commanding the entire group, and can be regarded as senior centurions and senior centurions. The other centurions will take the second place and serve as advisors to the chief centurion. If the main centurion dies or is transferred, he will be replaced according to the order.
This was possible in the early days of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, because the social and political system of Rome would serve the military system, and citizenship rights were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Roman citizens had cultivated this kind of thinking and approach since they were young, but this operating system completely used Duru. Qi was just kidding.
Disobedience to each other, mischief, and killing centurions and soldiers are all possible things. At critical times, the fear lord can be killed, and it can even indirectly affect the overall trend of the war.
After some research, it was finally determined that the commander of the command group is called "Captain". From top to bottom, the former senior centurion is selected from the group. In addition, there is another "Forward Captain" who is a son of a powerful person. . The forward leader can lead family guards and retinues, but the number is limited to 10 people and is not part of the legion. They fight on foot and bring their own equipment, but they will receive food.
Moreover, the forward commander does not have any command power or staff power. During war, he must obey the command of the battalion commander and act as a reserve team. He mainly focuses on learning and gilding, learning how to command, how to march and camp, etc., and the battalion commander dies in battle. Later, the captain will be replaced by a senior centurion instead of a senior forward.
To put it more clearly, the vanguard is a trained doctor in a modern hospital, a college-graduated intern who brings his own food and works for free...Dakus believes that it is necessary to set up a vanguard. The children of the powerful are becoming cold lizard fear knights. It is good to intern in the army for a period of time before, so that you can understand some procedures and the most basic military knowledge, and know how the army operates, so that you will not become a fool who knows nothing but charges, or an arrogant idiot.
In addition, there are 5 trumpeters and 5 team-level flag bearers in a brigade. A brigade consists of 5 centurions, that is, 710 soldiers, 1 captain, 5 centurions, 5 deputies, 5 trumpeters, 20 flag bearers, 60 captains of ten, 200 horses, It consists of 20 Reaper ballistas, 40 military vehicles and 5 light field kitchen trailers.
Above the brigade is the legion. In addition, the first brigade below each legion is composed of five doubled centurions, which is the legendary Eagle Flag Brigade!
In addition to the captain, the following five centurions and deputy captains who command double the force will also be named "champions". The formation or formation of the first battalion is decided by the supreme commander of the legion, but only Selected from the legion, to a certain extent it is regarded as the elite brigade directly under the legion.
It is extremely honorable to belong to the First Battalion, even as a low-ranking soldier. Moreover, the First Battalion also holds the legion flag and protects the highest command of the legion. In theory, the captain and centurion of the First Battalion are the most experienced officers in the legion and are also the most powerful battalion in the legion. Equivalent to a directly affiliated regiment-level army, a reinforced battalion composed of veterans. Usually in large-scale battles, they are located behind other brigades, and will only go up when the most critical moment is.
When expanding the army, you can also recruit these veterans and form a new army based on them.
The corresponding status and military pay of these champions will also be higher than that of the centurions of other brigades. The champion captain of the first corps has corps-level staff rights and has the responsibility to represent all brigades and centurions in the corps to the corps. The top commander expressed his opinion. If there is a problem, the soldiers will first report it to the commander, and then upload it level by level. Form a bottom-up power system, but it does not allow taking over the command responsibility of the entire legion in the event of an emergency, unless those higher than the champion captain are killed in battle, and will not be promoted after the war, but will be promoted to the legion. Conduct investigation within.
There are many gates in the army, and there are even more gates in the Drukhi army.
Malekith once told Darkus a very interesting story. There was a very interesting unit in the army before. They could always push out the fear lord who commanded them to block disasters to ensure that the troops would not be brutalized. They were even sitting together, and this unit had a very strong combat effectiveness, but every time they suffered a defeat, they were able to block it in this way, until in a battle, this unit fought until the last moment, until the entire army was annihilated.
Darkus thinks this is a good tradition, which is no different from being arrogant. But he didn't think this was a defeat, but that the fear lords who were pushed out to prevent the disaster were too weak, or Malekith's order was too outrageous, so outrageous that it couldn't be done. After adjusting the military system, the corresponding social system will also be adjusted. Maintaining this balance in the legion will be beneficial to both Malekith and him. Due to institutional reasons, as long as the loyalty of the legion can be maintained, and the fear lord cannot be controlled, Let it become a privatized army or a warlord.
Moreover, the soldiers in the legion are also filled with Egiresse's spies and informant system...
These legions are directly under the command of His Majesty the Witch King and the Witch King's Hand, and the equipment, supplies and military pay are distributed by them, not those powerful people. private soldiers and capital, are they crazy? Working so hard to be a wedding dress for those powerful people? What they both want is further centralization.
Therefore, the first battalion consists of 5 double centurions, including 1,420 soldiers, 40 Reaper ballistas, 1 champion captain, 5 champion centurions, 5 champion deputies, 5 trumpeters, 25 It consists of flag bearers, 120 captains of ten, 400 horses, 80 military vehicles and 5 large field kitchen trailers.
The cavalry is all composed of dark riders equipped with spears, shields and repeating crossbows, and subsequently wears breastplates. It has the same organization as the infantry's 1 tent and 10-man team of 100 people, but there is no Reaper ballista squad, but there will be 1 A logistics team. These cavalry are mainly used to assist the infantry, drive away harassing troops, or protect the safety of the legion's flanks and rear. They will only launch a charge at the most critical time.
A cavalry centurion consists of 10 cavalry squads, 100 cavalry, and a logistics squad, totaling 110 soldiers, 11 centurions, 1 centurion, 1 deputy, flag bearer and trumpeter There are no additional cavalry, 200 horses, 4 military vehicles and 1 light field kitchen trailer.
There are 5 cavalry centurions in the legion. There are no captains or double formations. Unlike the infantry, the next promotion route of these cavalry centurions will be to become cold lizard fear riders, riders! They are not knights composed of powerful people, but they are still equipped with the same equipment, but there are no symbols of honor related to the powerful people. Welfare potions will be distributed regularly to recover before losing the sense of taste.
The corps-level command system has a "camp officer". At this level, he is no longer a commander, but an officer. The battalion officer is responsible for the logistics of the legion, in charge of supplies, cooking, management of the legion's station and strengthening the construction of the camp. This seemingly ordinary job is held by a former champion captain of the First Battalion who has reached the end of his service life. This means that he must have more than a hundred years of military experience and command experience in commanding the First Battalion. The main job is to be a senior and highly respected person.
The battalion officer is the highest embodiment of the legion from the bottom up. Fear lords come and go, but the battalion officer will be there until he retires. With the subsequent social reforms, the army will also introduce a retirement mechanism. When these are in service Battalion commanders who have reached the age limit can choose to retire or be incorporated into a higher-level military system. If they choose to retire, Darkus will arrange a job that is consistent with their social status.
There is also a maximum of 10 "retinues". There is no such thing as wide and thin strips. Druchi does not have a Senate. These retinue officers will be the backup candidates for the Dread Lord. They must have served as the forward commander before, and like the forward commander, they can lead 10 family guards and retinues, and can ride cold lizards or cold lizard chariots to fight. Essentially, they are the followers of the supreme commander of the legion. They do not have any real power or command power. As for staff and advice, it all depends on their relationship with the commander. However, they will bear military responsibilities. For example, if the military flag is lost, they may be even seated. Or lose your status as a powerful person.
Luck is also a part of strength, isn't it...
There is nothing much to say about the supreme commander of the legion. It is held by two fear lords, one master and one deputy. They can bring their own retinues and flying mounts. They will provide a share of food, but they pay for the food themselves. They are assigned by His Majesty the Witch King or the Hand of the Witch King to lead this legion for a certain period of time.
In total, the 5 cavalry centurions are composed of 50 cavalry squads, including 500 cavalry and 5 logistics squads, for a total of 550 soldiers, 5 centurions, 5 deputies, and 55 centurions. , 1,000 war horses, 20 military vehicles and 5 light field kitchen trailers.
The infantry of the entire legion consists of the first battalion and four other battalions, with a total of 4970 infantrymen at full strength, 1 champion battalion captain and 4 battalion captains, 5 champion centurions and 20 centurions, and 5 champions Centurions and 20 centurions, 5 champion deputies and 20 deputies, 420 decanurs, 30 trumpeters, 120 standard bearers.
In addition to the 5 cavalry centurions, the entire legion at full strength has 5520 soldiers, 2 fear lords, 1 battalion officer, 1 champion captain and 5 captains, and 5 champion centurions. and 30 centurions, 5 champion deputies and 30 deputies, 470 decanurs, 30 trumpeters, 120 standard-bearers.
In addition, the entire legion consists of 120 Reaper ballistas, 300 military vehicles, 2,400 war horses and pack horses, 5 large field kitchen trailers and 30 light field kitchen trailers.
Don't ask why they matched up with 5...
In Darkus' view, this so-called legion is more like a modern hospital system. The trinity system of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, and the fear lords, retinue officers, and forward commanders are the doctor system. , the forward leader is the resident physician, the retinue officer is the attending physician, and the fear lords are the chief physician and chief deputy chief physician. The captains of these various brigades can be positioned as head nurses, and the soldiers are nurses.
pharmacist? Pharmacists are of course the logistics system. At critical moments, everything will be shut down.
However, this combat system is more flexible and modular. It can be used by ten-man teams, hundred-man teams, and legions in large-scale battles. The full complement is only 6,000 people, which is neither too much nor too little. , enough to cope with various complex situations.
In addition, all units in the game are composed of a single unit. One engine limits it, and the other is for gameplay.
In large-scale battles, it is very simple to solve the coordination problem of the Dread Spearmen, Gloomy Swordsmen and Black Sharp Crossbowmen in the legion...
Just line up the ten-man team vertically... The Dread Spearmen and the Captain of Ten will act as the vanguard, and the Gloomy Swordsman will stand. Behind the Dread Spearmen, there are the Black Sharp Crossbowmen who are responsible for throwing crossbows or standing on the military vehicles to suppress the shooting. Behind them are the Reaper Ballistas installed on the military vehicles. One centurion team lined up in sequence, and five centurion battalions lined up in sequence, and a line-resistance force appeared...
As for the other cold lizard fear knights, behemoths, cold lizard chariots, and disaster walker chariots, etc. The unit, independent of the legion, will cooperate with the legion in combat in the form of a Santoku heavy armor battalion.
Why am I writing this chapter... I seem to have miscalculated the numbers. I will do the calculations tomorrow
