There were two cavalry corps in total, ten thousand elite light cavalry - but Egil still felt that it was not enough. In fact, on land like Eastern Europe, many cavalry would feel that it was not enough.

Even if this number is expanded ten times, Egil still feels not enough. Therefore, the two mule cavalry legions are just the beginning. In the following time, Egil has made up his mind to continue to expand and add new cavalry under his command.

Egil attaches so much importance to light cavalry, and he also spares no effort in the construction of heavy cavalry, even more than that. The Norman army has a tradition of using elite heavy cavalry. With the recent wars, countries that fought with the Norman Empire, even the Eastern Rome, have recognized the combat effectiveness and tactics of the Norman Empire's heavy cavalry, which are very lethal. Although no countries have made it clear, they are secretly following the Norman Empire's military system, even the Eastern Rome is no exception.

Of course, this is a little bit difficult.

No matter how hard it is, how much it is to strengthen the discipline of cavalry, it is still very difficult to train cavalry like the Norman Empire in this era, and to maintain parallel propulsion like an iron wall when charging, and a bo-segment charge with just the right time. All countries do not have system cheating devices like Egil. Therefore, even the Eastern Roman armored paladin, with the best discipline, after dozens of rehearsals, the final result is only to learn inappropriately. There are even a few times when the bo-segment in front and the ones behind, resulting in a large number of non-combat casualties. This is a tragedy.

Such an excellent tradition will naturally continue to be passed on. As the most basic and largest number of Norman heavy cavalry sequences, in fact, the strongest combat effectiveness of the Norman heavy cavalry, the military regulations set by Egil planned to allow all heavy cavalry to be equipped with a composite armor, and the captain level used early plate armor. The number of heavy cavalry was expanded to three thousand. The cavalry was awarded the title of secondary knight, and all treatment and status were completely equivalent to that of knights. It was just that there was no fiefdom, and the salary was slightly less.

The Norman Heavy Cavalry was renamed the Norman Knight. The introduction of the troops is as follows: Norman Knight, nation: All ethnic groups of the Norman Empire, equipment: Norman No. 3 war horse (wearing chain armor for war horses, and hooded garments for war horses), chain composite armor, some equipment is early plate armor, heavy cavalry, mace half sword (depending on the situation, use half sword for light armor units, and mace for heavy armor units). Composite kite shield half phoenix heraldic clothing (commander level one wearing half phoenix heraldic cloak), knight medal, riding medal, gun medal (in the examination level, ranging from level one to level nine. The knight must be at least level four). He is strong in physique, high morale, high training level, and high discipline.

Introduction to the Army: The Norman Empire was an emerging cavalry power, and the Norman knights, as the most grassroots heavy-armed cavalry, had the combat power of these knights, which was actually even comparable to that of the royal knights of other countries. The group combat ability was even better. Knights equipped with a variety of weapons could handle it calmly when facing any enemy. There were quite a lot of tactics to choose, that is, they could launch a destructive charge to crush any idiot with abnormal minds. They could also wave maces to fight. If necessary, they could also dismount, use swords and shields, or two-handed swordsmanship to fight.

The Royal Knights were also expanded during this military reform. The territory of the Knights' fields was reclaimed from the original territory~

In this era, there were a lot of wastelands and swamps. As long as you are patient in managing, you can open up new land.

Norman Royal Knight, Nation: Same as above, equipment: Norman No. 3 war horse (chain armor, hood, early plate armor for war horses at the commander level), early plate armor, heavy cavalry, metallurgical improved battle axe. Compound kite shield, half-phoenix heraldic coat, half-phoenix heraldic cloak, Royal Knight Medal, riding medal, gun Medal (Royal Knight must take the Level 6). Excellent physique, extremely high morale, extremely high training in Chengdu, and moderate discipline.

Introduction to the Army: As the advanced form of the Norman Knight, or in other words, Egil valued the most, it was founded when the Norman Empire was just a small kingdom on the Scandinavian Peninsula. Although the number was not as large as that of the Norman Knights, the single combat power was much stronger than that of the Norman Knights.

Coupled with the usual knightly style, loyalty, religious fanaticism, and the pride of the royal knights, these warriors who were brainwashed by the chivalrous spirit and tampered with Catholic Nordic doctrines fought like crazy. Even the most powerful enemy would be shocked by their fanatical attitude.

A total of 4,000 heavy cavalrymen, plus 300 guard knights, 150 guard knights, and 500 armed monks of the Battlefield Cult. Nearly 5,000 heavy cavalrymen formed the extremely powerful heavy cavalry sequence of the Norman Empire.

Speaking of the armed monks of the battlefield corps, during this reform, Egil expanded the number of this special army to 1,500 - of which 500 were cavalry troops, acting together with the heavy cavalry. The remaining 1,000 were pedestrian troops, acting together with the heavy infantry. The light cavalry troops, considering that they generally believe in pagan gods, Egil did not insert priests into these armies. Although it was not stated explicitly in terms of faith, Egil was still very enlightened. After all, his faith was so strange that it was negative.

As for the projection force, Egil felt that the longbowers under his command had almost no room for improvement. Although he could also equip the longbowers with heavy armor and better melee weapons, this did not make much sense. If a battle develops to make the longbowers give up their bows and arrows and fight in close combat, it will basically reach an irreversible level...

Therefore, the longbowman expanded to six thousand people, and there was nothing else.

The crossbow soldiers are different - after being called out, the pulley crossbow was finally created, and its lethality and reliability are worthy of recognition. In addition, the invention of steel crossbows, gear crossbows, etc. is about to succeed. At that time, the lethality of crossbows will be further improved.

Even Egil felt that having such a powerful crossbow soldiers was not a big deal even if it didn't use early muskets...

The crossbow soldiers—or the improved giant shield crossbow soldiers—expanded a total of four thousand people.

Improved giant shield crossbow troops: ethnic: many types, equipment: elementary pulley crossbow, long sword, light chain armor, giant door panel shield, half phoenix coat, strong physique, medium morale, medium training level, and high discipline.

Introduction to the military: These soldiers who hand-coated the medieval mass destruction weapons are the most lethal soldiers on the entire medieval battlefield. The crossbows in their hands can pierce heavy chain armor, they can pierce heavy scale armor, and can pierce plate chain composite armor. Even early plate armor with insufficient carbon content and no hardening treatment can also shoot through them. They are well-equipped and well-trained - as long as they are a little careful, don't let the scum of the pope catch the handle, they are the best soldiers.

In this way, Egil has a total of 55,000 infantry, 15,000 cavalry, 10,000 projection troops, 6,300 imperial guards, and 200 knight guards. Together, a total of 86,500 troops. Rounding in, it is a hundred thousand troops - and with the local garrison troops, this number is even more than 100,000! Egil even feels that even if other Catholic countries are not present, he is just a single fight against Eastern Rome, and the outcome will be 50,000! The strong confidence and strong pleasure make the war-crazy emperor feel elated, even better than when he was with Artoria.

But wait a moment, there is still a small problem here - or it is not a small problem - but Egil's military reform regulations are now just empty paper. It is necessary to turn them into reality...

Need money.

When Egil handed over the entire report to Aurora, the woman who was a real system guide or a system elf threw the parchment roll lightly, and then said something that made Egil almost collapsed: "Get money, 28 million."

"Two eight million gold coins?! Why don't you grab them?!" Egil slapped the table and shouted with his eyes shattered.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible to say Aurora. Even if Egil asks for a lot of good words in the end, it will be useless.

Aurora waved his pen and saved him a fraction of the money, eighty,547,264 gold coins.

But even so, Egil still can't get it. Two million gold coins, that's 20 million gold coins! Not two thousand, but twenty million! ten thousand!!! Ten thousand!!! The Norman Empire is now in a prosperous state. Agricultural tax, commercial tax, handicraft tax, and various taxes, as well as Egil's treasury income (the income of land, serfs, caravans and merchant fleets under Egil's name), and a total of 540,000 gold coins can be earned in a month. This is the net income after deducting all officials, all military pay, and all miscellaneous expenses. Five hundred thousand a month is more than six million a year. If you want to save enough 20 million gold coins, Egil has to wait until three years later.

Such a discouraging number is like giving Egil a slap. It made the ambitious emperor who was willing to expand his territory very depressed. Of course, this is not impossible to turn around. In the next period, Egil and the large-scale officials of the Royal Advisory House fought desperately to pull the abacus beads (a great invention). Finally, after compression and compression, reduction and reduction, the Economic Section of the Royal Advisory House gave Egil the third number that "absolutely cannot be reduced again."
