Military Judge…

Reinhardt's expression remained the same, but he only gave Xi Ya a deep look, and after agreeing immediately, he turned and walked out of the hall.

"This guy, how did you train him when he was in school?" Xia Ya turned to look at Green.

Green looked at the disappearing figure outside the door and frowned: "Reinhardt... To be honest, when he was in the military academy, in fact, he was not too outstanding, but his mind was still cautious, and other military strategies In terms of courses, it has never been too top-notch... I didn't expect this young man to show such talent when he entered the army... "

"After all, he is also your student... However, if there are people like him in the Imperial Military Academy... Old Mad Dog, if you have any other good students, please help me recruit them, you have seen it, we are in our hands now. There is a huge shortage of manpower.”

Green squinted his eyes and seemed to smile: "Really? If there are too many students in the army, wouldn't you be worried?"

Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and looked at Green: "I may not be at ease with others, but you, an old mad dog, I am very at ease."

Green shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult if you want someone. Now that Osgilia is under siege, how can I get people from the Military Academy? As for other students... Well, I think about it, it seems that there was a period of time in the past few years. Graduated students, who have been left unused in some places, may be able to find a few people, I will make a list later, and then write a letter, you can send someone to take my letter to find it."

Shaya nodded.

Green looked at Xia Ya, but his face suddenly sank, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Xia Ya! I might as well clarify the words with you directly - what the hell is the military order and the imperial order, what is going on, my old Green is also clear in my heart, unless it is the collective brain of the upper class of the empire. Will make such an outrageous appointment... It's just the current situation, the North needs a united and unified group, and it needs a pillar to stand up to support this situation! So I don't speak, I acquiesce! But I do this, it doesn't mean I don't Bottom line... I hope you make good use of the power in your hands, and even more hope that you serve the empire wholeheartedly and resist foreign enemies for the empire, rather than have any other thoughts, otherwise, my old Green will be the first to fight with you. !"

After that, Green did not look at Xiaya, and strode out of the hall.

Xia Ya was relieved when he watched Green walk out.

The order Reinhardt forged, the last thing he could not explain to him was Green. Green is a person he relies on very much. If there is a gap or grudge with this old mad dog, then for Xiaya, the loss is unbearable.

Now that Green has acquiesced, so be it...

In the current situation, there is not much time for Char to waste.

Once the order to reorganize the army was made, it immediately took action. The reorganization order was quickly implemented under the impetus of Green and a group of officers from the 6th Corps who fell to Char.

Most of the officers of the 7th Corps were dismissed or put on hold in the staff department. Several senior officers had submitted their resignations. Once the leader left, the people below could not make trouble if they wanted to.

Xia Ya ordered that more than 4,000 soldiers of the 7th Corps be strictly selected, and only 2,000 soldiers were selected. They were considered qualified soldiers and were incorporated into the establishment of the First Corps of the Northern Theater. The rest were into the garrison.

In Xia Ya's plan, two new corps were established. The First Corps of the Northern Military Region was its main battle corps, while the Guard Corps was a second-line troop, mainly used for the defense of urban territories.

The First Corps of the Northern Military Region had a strength of 20,000, and the composition of the army naturally consisted of 4,000 Rodriguez cavalry plus 2,000 horse thief cavalry, forming an independent cavalry regiment of 6,000 cavalry. This cavalry will be the most powerful sword under Xia Ya's command!

Because he was born in the Roderian cavalry, Char himself has an innate fascination and preference for cavalry. The 6,000 cavalry that was gathered together had two flag regiments. With the number of 20,000 soldiers in a corps, for a corps with mixed infantry and cavalry, the number of cavalry accounted for such a large number, which is already considered rare.

In fact, if conditions allowed, Xiaya wished he could directly pull up an all-encompassing cavalry regiment—but this idea was quickly dispelled by himself, Green and others.

The cost of a cavalry regiment is something that Char Ya cannot afford! As one of the most expensive troops on land in this era, cavalry, Ishaya now only owns the land and wealth of one county, and is unable to support a large number of such an expensive army.

In addition, the other units of the 1st Corps were more than 6,000 people selected from the original 6th Corps and 2,000 people from the 7th Corps, plus some supplementary numbers from the recruit battalions. Gathered out four banner regiments of infantry.

In terms of combat, after eating most of the qualified veterans in the original 6th and 7th Corps, only a relatively small number of recruits were added. The combat effectiveness of this newly established Northern Corps is not bad, as long as it is a little run-in , you can immediately pull it out for use.

However, the garrison corps under the command of Green was much weaker. This garrison corps is temporarily composed of those who were eliminated by the first army in the north from the original subordinates of the sixth and seventh corps, plus a large number of recruits, and some remnants of the original local garrison.

In the establishment of 15,000 people, recruits accounted for 80%. According to Green, this corps does not have the ability to fight in the field in the short term.

The establishment of the new army, the allocation of various materials, the distribution of ordnance supplies, etc. piled up, and the general commander Cato was so tired that he almost died. In just three days, the whole person obviously lost a lot of weight. , there is no time to hide in his luxurious and comfortable logistics camp.

Even Xia Ya was busy reorganizing his troops. He spent almost half of the day in the newly established First Corps battalion, eating and living with middle and low-level officers, and then patrolling the training ground. Even spend an hour a day training with the cavalry.

These actions made Shaerba a little shy, using this stunned young phrase: Lord Char is just rushing to do my job, I am the commander of the cavalry regiment...

The entire city of Denzel has almost become a huge military camp, and the camps inside and outside the city are in full swing.

In addition, a recruiting office was set up in the city, and under the auspices of Green, reservists were recruited in the city.

Fortunately, there are a large number of refugees in Denzel City. These natives of Moor County who have lost their homeland due to the invasion of the Odins are still very enthusiastic about joining the army to fight the Odins. Saw a long queue.

But in this way, the money in Xiaya's treasury was spent like flowing water, but after a few days, Cato came to Xiaya with a frown.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't even be able to check the spring of next year." Cato looked helpless: "Otherwise, the soldiers' salaries can be paid once a season, and the food is barely enough, but there is one problem I have. But it can't be solved."

Looking into Char's eyes, Cato gritted his teeth and said, "War horses! We lack war horses! A lot of war horses!"

The Roderian cavalry came, but the 4,000 cavalry brought less than 500 horses... Most of the others were mules or horses. The original 2,000 cavalry in the city, and the horses were just enough.

In this way, there are less than 3,000 war horses in the establishment of 6,000 cavalrymen. On average, two people can share one horse. During training, everyone can take turns riding and training, but what to do when fighting

"I'm not a magician, so I can't conjure horses out of thin air." Cato complained to Char: "And the cavalry's armor and weapons... I can't let the cavalry wear the armor of the infantry and hold the sword for the infantry, right? Our cavalry and lances and sabers and shields are lacking .

"Do your best." Xia Ya also expressed helplessness to this question: "Fortunately, according to the information I have now... At least before the winter, Manninger did not have the energy to turn his head to deal with us. I heard that he is already organizing A main battle to try to beat the Corsican main force in one fell swoop. But at least until winter, he won't be able to accomplish this goal... We can only pray that the Corsicans will support a few more days. Before that, we still have time to raise Equipment and horses... Have the people sent to Wildfire Town come back? There may be some business groups in Wildfire Town who can get a lot of scarce materials, although the price is a bit more expensive. I heard that this time I can get a batch of iron... "

The person who went to Wildfire Town to buy is Nene... It seems to be away from Denzel City, and I don't know if it is to avoid Char or the terrible Merlin.

However, there is still good news.

Just before the end of the month, Mesta City finally turned in the first tax that Char had received since taking office—although the amount was really small. After all, after the devastation of the war, as the largest city in More County, Mesta City is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Fortunately, the people of More County still have some centripetal force. They know that this Lord Charya is training the army to protect the country and resist those Odins. Therefore, when paying taxes, almost no one complains of bitterness, even if it is No matter how difficult it was, they all gritted their teeth and paid the tax.

I heard that some businessmen's groups in the city also organized fund-raising activities.

In addition, the people of Mesta City also spontaneously organized a team of 500 volunteer soldiers to come to Denzel City. The quality of these volunteer soldiers was quite good, and they were incorporated into the establishment of the First Corps by Xia Yadu. middle.

When you are so busy, time flies very fast.

Xia stayed in the barracks almost all day for food and lodging, and no longer had time to visit Yulia in the city, and naturally did not go back to the Guntefu to see Merlin's face—God knows what Merlin was tinkering with.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. This group of Xiaya, from him down, including Green and others, almost everyone lost a circle. Everyone has countless jobs every day when they open their eyes. This busy and tense day actually makes the group glow with a kind of vitality. Everyone is working full and exciting. The shelves were erected little by little, the new army became more and more attractive, and Xia Ya felt a little more relaxed.

Now, even if Manninger comes again, I at least have the money to fight him, right

The countless business groups with complicated backgrounds on the black streets in Wildfire Town finally sent good news. Nene got dozens of cars of iron ore and more than 300 war horses in Wildfire Town—what surprised Char was, where did these things come from

And after these materials were delivered to Denzel City, what surprised Char even more was... Those war horses and iron ore—a considerable part of them were obviously trafficked from the Odin Empire! !

Those black-hearted business groups in Wildfire Town have a lot of potential energy!

At the end of the month, that Dax finally did some work that was worthy of the salary Char paid.

In the past 20 days, Dax took Afre Carter and the people that Charya transferred to him, quietly left Moore County, and did not know where they went, and then waited for him to come back again. Time, but with a caravan!

This caravan with the emblem of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce came from the southwest. I don't know what skills they used, but they came all the way from the occupied area of the Odins. This large caravan of hundreds of people brought nearly 200 carts of various materials, including arrows and a lot of medicinal materials that Xia Ya was in short supply!

And these things were exchanged for the gold of the Zaku people in Denzel City.

Xia couldn't help but quietly pulled Dax aside and asked carefully, "Where did so many people come from?"

"Southwest." Dax blinked.

"Isn't the western county occupied by the Odin army? I heard that it is still the army of the Odin royal family... How did you pass through their territory?!"

Dax squinted his eyes and smiled, stretched out two fingers, and held a golden coin between them.

"Buy. My lord." Dax replied with a smile: "There is no way, we can make a way out of money - although the Odins are all savage people, there are also greedy guys - in any race. There are people who are greedy for money, as long as you look for them patiently, and then do what you like, there will always be gaps to drill.”

In addition, Dax also brought a piece of information that reassured Char.

"The Odin army in the west is no longer a threat to us. There are several local resistance groups in the west. Those guys are very smart. They fought guerrilla warfare with the Odins, and kept harassing the villages and towns where the Odins were weak. , which has restrained a lot of energy of the Odin people. I have also obtained reliable information that the eldest son of the god emperor Odin, that is, the eldest prince of Odin, is going to the front line from the country, that is, the legion of the Odin royal family to the west. So that legion won't make any big moves until the eldest prince arrives - we can feel at ease for the time being."

This news really made Xia Ya heave a sigh of relief.

And on the second day, another thing broke the plan in Denzel City.

The scout cavalry came back to report that a strange team had come from the north, from the wildfires into the territory of Moore County, and then all the way towards Denzel City.

There are two or three hundred people in this team, and the scout cavalry who returned sent a message that surprised everyone!

"That's a group of dwarves! Yes! I'm not wrong! I swear to the gods, it's a group of dwarves! They carry huge hammers and drive strange iron chariots, which are not pulled by horses, but by a It's a strange terrestrial beast with a huge body but a very short stature, and it keeps roaring like a cow while running..."

dwarf

Xia Ya and others were stunned.

A dwarf team of hundreds of people suddenly ran to Denzel City for what

But soon, the scout took the initiative to provide the answer.

"Our men tried to push them up, and the other party soon sent someone out to contact us... Those dwarves speak the Byzantine language really badly, but they finally figured it out. They said, said... said..."

"say what?"

"They said..." The scout cavalry looked at Xi Ya: "They are here to send gifts."
