Chapter 27, the small group leader of the fifth army
The flames were still burning, and the odor brought by the burning corpse filled the entire camp. Hudson, who was covering his nose, could not fall asleep for a long time.
The excitement during the day was so great. Hudson didn't know how he came from an ordinary person who had difficulty killing chickens to a butcher on the battlefield.
The pressure of survival makes people transform. If it hadn't happened, Hudson wouldn't have known that he had such a rational and cruel side.
Sure enough, human potential is forced out. After experiencing the baptism of war and fire, Hudson became more mature and rational.
...
In the early morning, a red cloud appeared in the sky, and the sound of gathering horns sounded. On the battlefield, the military orders were like mountains, and Hudson could only drag his tired body to gather in the team.
The soldiers' condition is also not much better. It can be seen that the stimulation yesterday was too great, and everyone needs to slow down.
Unfortunately, what they said doesn’t count. The decision makers think that soldiers are very fast, so how could they care about the ideas of the lower-level soldiers?
Of course, going to war is not something you can do by just leaving. All the noble coalition forces gathered tens of thousands of mobs. If they were not arranged properly, they would probably be in chaos before they could find the enemy.
All the nobles have a deep understanding of this. After all, everyone was surprised and frequently on the way here.
The reorganization began, without any surprises, and it was still based on family-based units. Although it was unscientific, it was very consistent and practical.
More than 80% of the troops were mobs, and even their lords could not command them freely. If they were to change officers, they would not have to go to the battlefield.
According to the military system that is popular in the mainland, there are ten teams, hundreds of people, one battalion, a thousand people, and one army of ten thousand people. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, they will directly force it.
The organization is temporary and there is no need to pay military salaries. In this regard, Governor Pierce was particularly generous and formed five dissatisfied troops in one go.
There were exactly seven people who participated in the meeting last night, and they became commanders of the Fifth Army. If there was no insider here, Hudson could eat the Knight's Sword.
Without any surprises, the strength of the five armies was not balanced. The first army led by Earl Pierce himself was a well-deserved elite, and the second army led by Viscount Oran was also quite strong, and the three armies behind were hard to describe.
In general, the lower the ranking, the worse the strength.
Without any surprises, the members of the former alliance were also independently reorganized into an army, with the Knights of Chels as the commander of the legion.
Because of the heavy losses in the battle yesterday, the newly formed army was directly reduced to the lowest among the five armies.
Thanks to the number of soldiers under his command and the fact that he had made some contributions on the battlefield yesterday, Hudson was honored to be appointed as the commander of the 10th Regiment of the Fifth Army.
But this tenth regiment looked a little miserable. In addition to Hudson's headquarters, six hundred masterless serf soldiers were allocated, making this mob more worthy of its name.
In fact, even the six hundred serf soldiers were troublesome and no one looked at them, so it was cheaper for Hudson.
Thanks to this, the 10th Regiment also became the only fully-built regiment in the Fifth Army and one of the few fully-built regiments in the entire noble coalition.
In other regiments of the Fifth Army, there are generally only four or five hundred troops, the 10th regiment with a force of more than a thousand can be considered a standout.
They were all forced out, nominally reorganized by the entire army. When they were finally executed, they still respected the wishes of the noble lords.
Logically speaking, it should not be difficult for Hudson to find someone to form a team with his previous communication. But the bad one is in the position of "group leader".
They are all in the aristocratic circle and may not have military talent, but political mind is absolutely indispensable.
Normal people know that the higher the position in the army at this time, the greater the initiative you will gain in the subsequent wars, and the greater the advantage you will gain in the future for territory.
It involves vital interests, and no one is willing to give in. Now this group of dissatisfied groups is the result of everyone's compromise.
All families with slightly stronger strength chose to go alone. Families with weak strength were forced to choose to join forces.
However, this kind of alliance is also a small group composed of three or five knights, and the number of participants is not large.
What led to this situation is because of interests. There are too many allies in the union, and even if you get the territory, it is not enough for everyone to share.
Thanks to his previous performance and the banner of the Koslow family, Hudson is also considered to be the one who has the ability to eat alone.
Those who have equal strength have to work alone, and those who have not equal strength have to do so, even if Hudson is willing to lower his status and form an alliance, people don’t believe that his promise can be fulfilled.
No matter how good the relationship is, at this time, everyone has maintained enough rationality and everything is based on interests.
Things have come to this point, and Hudson can do nothing. He can't explain to others: "The main force of his family has not come here, and all he brings is cannon fodder. Don't worry, it's right to form an alliance. You will be indispensable after the war."
Not to mention that it was someone else, even Hudson himself didn't believe it. Even if the main force did not arrive, could he come later?
The benefits are touching. If it weren’t for the time being, everyone would have hoped to call friends everywhere to enhance their strength, so how could they hide it?
Seeing that there were several knights in other people's teams, at least dozens of elite infantry, at most hundreds of them, Hudson really had no confidence.
In this world of bad luck, Hudson accidentally became the worst and he was crying without tears.
In order to strengthen his strength, he had to fight for the unowned serf soldiers. To be precise, it cannot be considered a struggle. As soon as Hudson put forward the request, he received unanimous agreement from everyone.
There is no other reason, everyone really can't command. The cannon fodder formed by their own serfs made them anxious and they really didn't want to cause trouble.
In fact, Hudson's initial target was not the serf soldiers, but the remaining guards of the lords who died in battle. Unfortunately, these veterans were occupied by the legion commander Chels Knights early on.
Frankly speaking, not only Hudson's 10th regiment, but also the first regiment led by Chels himself, was not much better.
In addition to his personal strength, the dozens of soldiers under Chels' command are really unprofitable.
Even with the identity of the commander of the legion, he occupied dozens of veterans left by the unlucky allies, but he could not change much.
Even in order to increase the number of people, Chels could only accept the unowned serf soldiers. However, for command reasons, his work was much smaller.
It only received less than 200 people, which made the First Regiment the regiment with the smallest number of troops in the entire army.
If it weren't for the 10th Regiment at the bottom, Chels's first Regiment would be the regiment with the worst combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army.
