Jiang Tian, who stood on the tower overlooking the entire battlefield, felt calm and a little emotional. Because the advantages and advantages occupied by the Free Army are actually a matter of course. This is a new style of primitive semi-industrialization.
Armament, the result of confronting the peak tactics of the classical army.
The reason why it is still semi-industrialized is because the steam engine, which is the source of power for large-scale industrial production, has not yet been able to form a stable mass production capacity; and it still requires large machinery driven by water power, coupled with some skilled technicians and a large number of ordinary workers, which is labor-intensive.
industry.
However, this labor-intensive industry also has one of the most direct benefits; on the one hand, it can absorb a large number of the surplus population that has spread out from the countryside, or young adults who have fled from remote areas due to famines and changes to seek a way to survive in cities and towns.
, and becomes a pressure reducing valve in disguise.
On the other hand, the collective work and coordination necessary for industrial production determine that after a period of running-in and adaptation, they can serve as the most direct supplementary soldiers; this is comparable to farmers or gentry recruited directly from the countryside.
It's much easier for the younger ones.
Coupled with the large-scale primary industrial production promoted by the Free Army, it provides batches of sophisticated equipment such as firearms and armor; in terms of specific training cycles and armed costs, the actual cost performance is far superior to those of feudal models and classical models.
The traditional cold weapon army under militarism.
At least, in terms of the continuous supply of follow-up troop base, logistics supply efficiency and equipment production capacity, and other comprehensive factors to support the war, the Free Army has accumulated sufficient advantages, and as time goes by and the battle lines change, the Free Army has accumulated sufficient advantages.
The back-and-forth will continue to widen the gap.
In addition, there are various junior military schools and accelerated education, and the non-commissioned officers and officers trained in batches are far more efficient in military organization and talent development than those who always adhere to ancient traditions and rely on large and small noble fiefs and knights' fiefs.
, Generations provides models of armies and generals.
Of course, there are exceptions to the inheritance knights and some other special units; because there is a certain degree of hidden extraordinary power and abnormal creatures in this world. Therefore, these abilities and special methods that rely on blood inheritance are still overwhelming in individual confrontations and small-scale battles.
Sexual advantage.
Therefore, when a group of knights, fully armed to the teeth, begin to charge with all their strength on the battlefield, the ones who can often intercept and stop them, and effectively fight against them, are the existences of knights. Just like those
The ancient songs circulated in the kingdom were sung.
When the knights with complete equipment and retinues began to devote all their strength to the battle, they were like fighting machines rolling past at high speed, which was enough to reduce most arms on the battlefield to supporting roles. And ordinary soldiers who wanted to fight against them had to
You must be mentally prepared to pay a huge price and sacrifice.
Just like the battle outside Avignon. If you don't have enough extraordinary means and strength as a backing, facing the knights headed by Duval, the Free Army with high morale will inevitably suffer.
A big loser, instead of going to great lengths to turn him into a prisoner.
For Rodrigo, who took the lead and charged into the enemy jungle, overwhelming wave after wave of formations; this was the most enjoyable and heart-pounding battle for him after a long period of escape and pursuit.
.The best medicines and ointments for maintenance, tailor-made armor.
It has brought him back to his peak state as the second grand knight of the first sub-regiment of the Knights of the Golden Fleece; Rodrigo even felt that after exhausting his potential in this long escape, due to the mental and physical trauma he had suffered
, the long-standing bottleneck has also been broken through.
Not only was he initially awakened with the activation of his ancestral bloodline, he was granted the special ability of Knight of Glory, which could temporarily block the arrows "Shield of Heroes", and most of it has been restored; he even awakened another bloodline power for the second time.
Restores the physical strength of mounts and comrades in a small area.
According to the members of the Redemption Knights, various sworn statements are made; this is one of the invisible blessings of following that Lord. Therefore, the growth of their overall physical fitness has been significantly accelerated; even some people have experienced this.
Awaken the special abilities in your bloodline.
And among the new batch of members of their family who have passed the coming-of-age ceremony, there is a greater chance of awakening their bloodline. However, after the change in the celestial sphere, an endless stream of aliens began to appear in the world, which is very subtle; therefore, those knight families in the north
One can imagine the position.
In fact, the decline of the knight's bloodline and the discontinuation of inheritance have always been the biggest problem for families with similar backgrounds among the countries in the Western Continent. They once had glory and dignity, and of course they did not want to withdraw from the stage of history so soon. But with the decline of power, the face of
The advantages to ordinary people are no longer obvious.
Coupled with the socio-economic development of the kingdom, the traditional knight fief/manor system has become increasingly difficult to support and maintain the stable continuation of a knight family. Even due to poor management and bankruptcy, they can only sell their ancestral properties to pay off debts and join the ranks of middle- and high-level nobles.
Act as a diner or a vassal.
It is not unheard of to be driven by tax collectors and other nouveau riche who have the same stench to become the bodyguards and private armed leaders of these rentier classes. Especially in the relatively conservative and retro town of knights.
, the situation of the Northern Heritage Knights is undoubtedly more difficult.
Even in the capital region, which is the most prosperous and prosperous kingdom. Not to mention the large number of bankrupt and declining fief knights; being able to obtain a member of the knight family with a long history as a retinue is part of the pomp and dignity of the wealthy class. Even the royal family
There is no way to ban it.
Therefore, compared with the Burgundian dynasty, which has basically remained unchanged and even made significant strides in its ruling methods and foundations, these families in the North who inherited knights once had great expectations, thinking that this was an ancient virtue.
A return to tradition; but soon disillusioned.
Because King John relied heavily on and relied on to rule the country, and it was still the bankers, large chambers of commerce, and business groups who had always stayed behind the scenes to stir up trouble in the changes in the kingdom's political power; and the army was still made up of local nobles, large and small.
Foundation. Although some heritage knights are appreciated.
But whether it is selling off the former royal family’s direct territories and properties, or enlarging the fiefs of nobles from various places, or creating various income projects, it basically has nothing to do with these inherited knights or even fief knights. Because they are simply not
Unable to afford the corresponding expenses and fees.
It can be said that they were once again abandoned by the general trend of the times; at this time, some young knights who were wanted and hunted for joining liberal political activities or supporting the republican government and had to flee to the south also gave these
Old families bring new options.
Put aside the decadent royal family and most of the aristocracy, join the rising knight king in the south to establish a new free army regime, and use your own service and dedication to obtain a stable annuity income, a decent position, and a future. At least, not
The situation will be even worse than now.
Therefore, among the team of knights following this battle, there are many old knights from the North who are gray-haired or have scars on their faces. Their appearance is not forced, but due to the decline of family members and the lack of succession.
, and strive for a future for future generations.
For them, being able to fight with all their strength and die in this final battle that determines the fate of the kingdom is undoubtedly the greatest honor and dignity. And their children and grandchildren who have not yet grown up can obtain new rewards after the coming-of-age ceremony.
Bloodline awakening ceremony and free medicine supply provided by the government.
This is undoubtedly the tragedy of those traditional knights, but it is also an opportunity for the young knights of the new era to rise again. In contrast, Rodrigo suddenly became a little worried about the Holy Kingdom; most knights are too clinging to tradition.
I have long been obsessed with the glory and glory of chivalry in the past.
Therefore, even if there are some voices looking forward to innovation, or in the new generation with different ideas, they will be quickly suppressed, suppressed and killed. And Rodrigo also seems to be aware that he seems to be regarded as a member of the Holy Kingdom.
The banner of those young and young men who are passionate, radical and eager to change.
That's why he encountered a series of assassinations and was framed by Luo Zhi for many crimes. However, his flashes of lightning did not affect him from wielding his ax and spear like a storm, striking the enemy knights who passed by him and killing them.
Zheng's face shield and arms were smashed together, and his head turned sideways.
He still had enough energy to lift up the sword on the saddle, whizzing past the piercing flag gun on the other side; and then flawlessly killed another enemy knight who was following him, breaking a gap from the shoulder to the breastplate.
He fell on his back with a burst of blood. At the same time, he held the flag gun pole under his arm and slapped another guard in the face.
In the blink of an eye, a small group of enemy knights were destroyed. With him as the spearhead of the breakthrough, more flag guns and waving swords and sabers rushed in like a tide, blocking everything.
The things and people in front were completely trampled like mud and crushed under the hooves of horses;
Even the enemy knights who came out to attack in groups seemed unable to stop them for a moment; at the moment of the encounter, pairs of knights struck each other dullly, with fragments of weapons inserted into each other's bodies, entangled and overturned.
, rolled off his horse; then he was overwhelmed by more cavalry.
However, at the other end of the battle line, the Grand Gascon Regiment, which was ordered to change direction to support the right wing, also encountered an unexpected situation; most people once again heard the familiar shouts and hometown slang from the opposite front. They could not help but prepare for the situation.
His movements all became sluggish.
"The Great Hound of D'Artagnan?" "The Fine Ghost of Taymor?" "The Stingy Condonian?" "The Greedy Man of Ouch?" "The Mud-Legged Man of Arwen?" "The Respectable Man of Tarbes."
