Roman Empire of Total War

"Sir, do you have anything to do with me?" Peter, the military commander of the instructor group who was in charge of the training of the White Horse army in the frontier camp, was called by the special envoy Rodroy to rush to the Andalu where the mission is located. The capital of the province of West Asia.

"This is the expedited order sent by the priest to send people through secret channels, you see." Rodroy took out the urgent order he had just received not long ago and handed it to Peter. The latter took the order and saw ten lines at a glance. To browse.

"Sad Lord, would you like us to help the White Horse Kingdom build a phalanx pikemen of at least one hundred thousand?"

"The orders in black and white are sent by secret channels, are there any fakes?"

"Adult, I'm not questioning the truth of the order, but just the current status of the White Horse Kingdom. Even if the priest can send people to send 100,000 sets of square array pikemen's standard weapons and equipment, it will not be possible to train 100,000 formations in a short time. The phalanx pikemen of combat effectiveness."

"Then what do you say?" Rodlois asked helplessly: "You also know the situation of the White Horse Kingdom, there is not even a formed cavalry unit; the Tianlong Empire has included the entire southern grassland under their rule. Now, don’t you understand this gap?"

"Adult, use infantry to deal with cavalry. No matter how you train special troops, there will not be much results, because cavalry is so mobile, they can't be silly and hit the defensive battle array we prepared; unless We can have cavalry of a certain size to play an auxiliary role, otherwise the cavalry of the enemy army can easily avoid the defensive battle we have prepared by only slightly adjusting the direction."

"Throughout all the battles of the Tianlong Empire using the phalanx spearmen against the cavalry, which is not a large cavalry unit to cover it? Even so, the Tianlong empire does not rely on the phalanx spearmen to defeat the enemy, they rely on It is a combination of multiple arms; there is a phalanx pikeman in the front, a cavalry cluster with two wings, and long-range and heavy infantry as auxiliary."

Peter said more and more angry: "Furthermore, the phalanx pikemen are the first of the Dragon Dragon Empire. Can they not know the abuses and defensive weaknesses of this special force? We imitate them and form the troops they created to deal with them. They, let me do this kind of thing, just let me think about it, I feel stupid enough to be outrageous!"

"Peter!" Seeing Peter speak more and more, and even mean to criticize the upper-level decision-making, Rodlouis suddenly interrupted him and said: "This is not only the order of the priest, but also the decision of the adults. , What do you want to do? Disobey the order?!"

"My lord, how dare I disobey the order of the priest, I just think that this command is not feasible."

"This is the order of the Lord's Sacrifice, and also the decision of the adults!" Rodlois emphasized again.

"Well, I execute the order." Facing Rod's unquestionable attitude, Peter can only choose to execute the order, but he still made his own request: "But I have a request, I want you to ask the priest Adult application, provide me with an additional batch of weapons, equipment and war horses. I will help the White Horse Kingdom build a new cavalry unit specifically for fighting with the Phalanx pikemen."

"Peter, why are you doing this?" Rodroy felt that Peter was deliberately embarrassing the adults in the rear and vented his dissatisfaction with the mandatory order, and persuaded him: "The formation of cavalry It’s not an easy task. Even if the priest gives you the weapons and horses you need, can you let your new cavalry form combat power before the war?"

"Adult, if you only select soldiers from ordinary white horse soldiers, then you really can't let this new cavalry force form a fighting force before the outbreak of the war, but if you choose soldiers from the white horse nobility? Those who have not been in contact with the company. Compared with ordinary white horse soldiers, at least the white horse nobles who also ride war horses, they are the most suitable cavalry soldiers."

"Peter, do you think it is realistic?" Rodlois shook his head in denial: "The white horse nobles will indeed ride the war horses. It is true that there are only a total number of white horse nobles in the entire eastern border. Let's not say whether they want to go or not. The new cavalry units will be ordinary cavalry. Even if they are willing to go, will Dawubai let them go? You have to know that these white horse nobles are the core of the 300,000 eastern border troops."

"Sir, I know that the nobles in the Eastern Frontier are immovable. What I want is that the White Horse Kingdom has no nobles joining the Eastern Frontier; the White Horse Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of nobles. I only need one or two thousand nobles. It’s enough to join my cavalry."

"Peter, why don't you understand?" Rod Roy, who was a little irritated by Peter, was quite impatient: "The number of nobles in the White Horse Kingdom is indeed huge, but any white blood aristocrat is a bit bloody. You have taken the initiative to join the Eastern Frontier. You expect the remaining White Horse noblemen who dare not join the Eastern Frontier to join the cavalry unit you want to form. Do you think it is possible?"

"Sir, if I am sure I can let those white horse nobles join the cavalry unit I want to form?"

"Okay, that's it. How many white horse nobles you can join your cavalry troops, I will help you apply for weapons and war horses to the priests. Do you think it will work?" I feel like I am about to be stalked by Peter. Rod Roy, who was bothered by death, promised on the spot: "If the priest does not approve, I will find ways to help you get the weapons and horses you need!"

"Sir, then I will go back to Marshal Dawubai to discuss the preparations for the formation of the phalanx pikemen and the new cavalry unit."

"Go, go." Rod Roy waved Peter and hurried away, not forgetting to remind him: "Don't forget the order of the priest, that's your main task, this task you If you don’t hurry to finish, don’t even think about cavalry."

"Sir, don't worry, I don't dare not execute the urgent order issued by the priest himself."

With an urgent order to form a minimum of one hundred thousand square-fronted pikemen as soon as possible, Peter returned to the frontier camp with a quick whip; and Peter, who returned to the frontier camp, did not have a Muslim regiment station, but went directly to Darfur The military account of Marshal Ubai.

"Head Peter, are you in a hurry to see me? Is there something?" Marshal Dawubai still gave the other party due respect to the head of the instructor group who had been doing his best to train himself and train the army. , Even if the other party's time to see him is late at night.

"My Excellency Marshal, our priests have just given me an urgent order through our special envoy, let me help you to form a phalanx pikemen of not less than one hundred thousand as soon as possible to deal with the Dragon Bauhinia Knights and the Ruptured Rock The threat of the Knights of Flowers."

"The Phalanx Pikemen?" Marshal Dawubai frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he said: "Is it the kind of special infantry that was first created by the Tianlong Empire to deal with cavalry?"

"Yes, the phalanx pikemen are the kind of special infantry you said."

"President Peter, since this phalanx spearman is the first special infantry created by the Dragon Empire to deal with cavalry, then I have no reason to object to your formation of this phalanx spearman, but I think it's a little bit more than 100,000 to form one breath. Well, let’s try to set up 20,000 first, and if it does perform well, it’s not too late for us to expand on a large scale.”

Marshal Dawubai originally didn't want to form a phalanx spearman, because he saw the limitations of the use of this special infantry at a glance, plus the long pikeman was the first of the dragon empire, and the dragon empire must be right This unit is very familiar. After its formation, it will be easily defeated by the Tianlong army, which is familiar with the weaknesses of the unit, so he really does not want to form this force with no value.

But Peter and the power behind him had to give up, let alone Peter said, the formation of the phalanx pikemen was an urgent order issued by the big man behind him, and Marshal Dawubai could not directly refuse, only Choose to sacrifice 20,000 infantry to form the phalanx pikemen.

"My Excellency Marshal, I know you are not willing to form a phalanx pikemen. In fact, I don’t think it is wise for us to give orders to the priests; but after careful consideration, I found that we can actually think about this from another angle. problem."

Self-confident Peter, in the face of Marshal Dawubai, took out several battle maps from his space ring, and combined with these battle maps, used the Dragon empire's classic battles Explained in detail.

"Commander Peter, what do you mean?" Peter's meticulous explanation of the battle made Dawubai listen to it with relish, but he failed to understand Peter's intention; because only from Peter's explanation The eastern border forces simply did not have the conditions to use phalanx pikemen.

"My Excellency Marshal, after listening to the examples of the use of the Phalanx Pikemen by the Tianlong Empire, what do you think of the Phalanx Pikemen?"

"This is a very powerful armament dedicated to dealing with cavalry, so that their limited strength masks their rather fatal use defects; the invincibility on the surface is actually completely sacrificed for mobility and adaptability. Once the troops lose the cooperation of various auxiliary arms, they will directly change from invincible divisions to lambs to be slaughtered."

"Sir Marshal, your summary is very insightful, then do you think that it is possible for us to use the phalanx pikemen on a large scale?"

"Almost nothing." Dawubai explained seriously: "First of all, the phalanx pikemen have too high demands on the soldiers. Large-scale formation of the phalanx pikemen will lead to a decline in the quality of the soldiers of our other troops. The combat effectiveness is too low. Secondly We don’t have so many elite rangers and heavy infantry that can cooperate with the phalanx spearmen; in the end, and most importantly, we don’t have cavalry troops."

"The problem of soldiers, the problem of long-range soldiers and heavy infantry. We can still solve these problems. How can we solve the problem of cavalry? Without the assistance of cavalry, relying on the cooperation of long-range soldiers and heavy infantry with little mobility, our Can the phalanx pikemen resist the mobile attack of the Tianlong cavalry? If they cannot, then what is the significance of our formation of the phalanx pikemen?"

Faced with a series of questions from Daubai, Peter, who had already been prepared, answered only one sentence: "Then we should form a cavalry force."

"Form a cavalry unit?" Dawubai's answer to Peter was very surprised.

"Yes, form a cavalry unit! We can provide you with the weaponry and horses needed to form a cavalry unit."

"Cavalry units and infantry units are different. Even if you have the weapons and equipment provided by you, a newly built cavalry unit needs at least a year of training and training to form combat effectiveness. We don’t have that much time."

"My Excellency Marshal, if you select elite soldiers from ordinary soldiers who haven't even been contacted by the battle horses, it will of course require at least one year of training and training to form combat effectiveness; but if you choose elite soldiers who will ride horses from a young age To form a cavalry, I’m sure it only takes two or three months of training and running, which is enough to make this newly built cavalry unit form combat effectiveness."

"People who ride horses since childhood?" Dawubai, who hadn't responded for a while, followed Peter's eyes and saw the gorgeous armor on the wooden stand in the big tent, which was sent by King Alfonso. Give him the top treasure armor.

Seeing this set of treasure armor, Dawubai instantly understood: "Do you want to recruit troops from our nobles to form cavalry units?"

"My Excellency Marshal, this is the only way I can think of, and the only way to resolve the current plight of your army."

"Do you think I can persuade those nobles to let you conscript?" The tone of Dawubai's speech made Peter somewhat unaware of his thoughts, but Peter still insisted on his own thoughts: "In addition, you have What can be done to deal with the threat of cavalry in the Dragon Empire?"

Having said this, Peter doesn’t mind saying anything more straightforward: "The Bauhinia Knights and the Crushed Stone Knights, these two knights are full of 40,000 knights, and they have given you the army. It poses a huge threat; if the Dragon empire re-arranges their Jurchen cavalry clusters, what are you going to do to resist the tens of thousands of Jurchen riders in the Dragon empire?"

"Since the Tianlong Empire defeated the Mongolian Empire, won the battle of the grasslands, and established the grassland special zone, the vast southern grasslands have become their pastures. The inexhaustible resources of war horses will make them the strongest in the mainland. A country with cavalry power; if you and your country want to fight against such a powerful country, large-scale formation of a unit dedicated to cavalry is the only option."

"Half-grassland horse resources, coupled with the excellent weapons and equipment produced by the Tianlong Empire, this combination is really enviable!" Dawubai first expressed emotion from the heart, and then expressed his attitude to Peter: "You I will find a way to arrange the soldiers I need. You can start to form the phalanx pikemen. I will prepare the soldiers for you before you start to form a cavalry unit."

"Sir Marshal, your wise decision will affect the National Games of the White Horse Kingdom in the next 100 years!"

"Our Kingdom of White Horse is still too weak. Even with your assistance, there is no capital for long-term confrontation with the Tianlong Empire; what I hope is that your plan can succeed and the rise of the Tianlong Empire can be suppressed. Only in this way can our White Horse Only then can the kingdom continue to survive, otherwise sooner or later, we will eventually become a noun in the history book."
