Chapter 1603: Enlistment (Ⅰ)

Joan was a volunteer letter submitted in early May. On May 22, the same day that the Convalley Corps set off from Linyuanbao to the south, he received a letter from Lord Castis. On the journey.
Compared with the previous military internships, Joan's trip seemed to be nothing more than a single one.
The three friends who always accompany him, Audrey, Hailar and Holden, can only take him to the school gate this time, board the military carriage, and wave goodbye with care and reluctance.
Both Audrey and Holden are members of the royal family of Canaan. Due to their special identities, the siblings cannot participate in the battle for the colony between the Ashan Empire and the Kingdom of Feizhen, so as not to trigger the conflict between Canaan and Feizhen Diplomatic disputes.
Hailar originally intended to sign up for service, but a letter from Freeport forced her to give up joining the army.
This letter was sent by his adoptive father, Herrell, with two intentions. The first was to urge her daughter to return to Freeport as soon as possible to avoid the scourge of war. The second was to explain to her daughter why she was inconvenient to join the military.
The reason is actually very simple.
Hailar’s ​​adoptive father and uncle are both giants of the
Freedom Sons Association
. She is also a core member of the association and has been trained as the future successor of the
Freedom Sons Association
.
Regardless of Hailar's personal wishes, her background is not suitable for appearing in either the Imperial Army or the Fijian Army. Otherwise, it will inevitably have a negative impact on Joseph Adams who is heading to the new Avalon to chair the branch.
On this issue, Hailar could not compete with Lord Castis.
Lord did have a close relationship with the "Son of Freedom", but he also held public office in the colonial government and colonial company of Midgard, and was a well-known war hero and veteran.
No matter whether the Midgard side or the Fijian side, no one will be surprised that the veteran puts on his military uniform again, not to mention Governor William Nichols personally came to invite him to come back to the mountain, preside over the overall situation, be reasonable Can't refuse.
Sir Castes belongs to the past era, but Hailar symbolizes the future of the "son of freedom", so the position she upholds in this war is more sensitive than Sir Castis's position, and it is more likely to cause real people. Suspicion.
With the hat of "considering the overall situation" pressed down, Hailar had no choice but to abandon his original intention with regret. After sending Joan to join the army this afternoon, she will also return to Freeport in line with her father's expectations, and wait for the situation on the battlefield to be clear before making plans.
Audrey and Holden also received letters from their brothers.
Although Prince Corofa was not as hard-lined as Hailar’s ​​adoptive father, ordering his sister and younger brother to return home immediately, but also showing their concern for them between the lines, telling them to pay attention to safety, at least before the war was extended to Midgard City, Be sure to return to Canaan to avoid being implicated.
On a carriage going to the barracks, Joan sat across from the four old acquaintances-Arnold, Lowry, Angle and Ryan.
During the journey, the young people in the carriage talked about the military life that was about to begin, and imagined that the group of invaders from the north should be taught the battlefield. Most of them were very excited, and the fear of death gave way to the great ideal of establishing meritorious service.
The topic people are most passionate about is the troops they will serve.
In the school, everyone is a classmate, but the situation is different when they arrive in the army. Some people work in the civilian staff in the staff or logistics departments. Although the safety is guaranteed, in front of those who enter the combat forces, it is inevitable that they appear to be greedy for life and death , Some can't look up.
Even if they are all serving in front-line combat troops, there is a difference between elite and miscellaneous. No college student with a passion for volunteering to join the army, no one is willing to spend time in miscellaneous troops and work as a cannon fodder. Of course, I hope to join elite troops. The pay is better, and there are more opportunities to make contributions on the battlefield.
Arnold, Lowry, Angle and Ryan are outstanding elites in the school. Now they volunteer to join the army, of course, they also choose elite troops to serve.
When Joan heard them chatting, he accidentally learned that Arnold and others were going to serve in the First Cavalry Battalion of the Midgard Colonial Corps.
The first cavalry battalion is the famous "blue cavalry". The so-called "lancer" is not a classical knight wearing heavy armour and holding a spear, but all 300 officers and soldiers of the first cavalry battalion, all equipped with a new magic crystal smooth-bore rifle.
The entire Midgard Colonial Corps, so far only has such a formed firearms unit, is the most important trump card of Baron Laval.
As for the other nine battalion troops of the Colonial Corps, at most only one ace company is equipped with a rifle. Most officers and soldiers are equipped with traditional weapons such as swords and crossbows.
In contrast, the Canaanites are better equipped.
Take the Convalley Corps, including a cavalry regiment and three infantry regiments.
Of these three infantry regiments, one regiment is a heavy infantry equipped with lances, and the remaining two regiments are unique to Feizhen’s armies, called
line infantry
.
The two thousand line infantry, all equipped with magic crystal smoothbore rifles, together with the pikemen form a square formation, fighting in the plains, the firepower is extremely fierce!
Since the beginning of this century, almost all the battles formed by the line-up infantry participated in the battle, and the Feizhen Kingdom has almost won the final victory, which can be called an "undefeated division."
Of course, Feizhen's army is not invulnerable.
Due to the small territory and climatic factors, the Feizhen Kingdom has lacked elite horses since ancient times. Re-installing the knights is only a luxury for the nobles and grandfathers, but it is not the main force of the army.
Since modern times, with the pace of colonial expansion, the Fijians have occupied large areas of overseas territories, including a lot of plants that are rich in water plants and suitable for the cultivation of war horses. The level of the Fijian cavalry has improved, but due to tactical concepts and military traditions The cavalry is still in a secondary position in the Feizhen forces. There are few heavy cavalry regiments formed. There are a lot of light cavalry who undertake auxiliary tasks such as reconnaissance, patrol, harassment, and pursuit, but they cannot shake the core position of the infantry.
The army building of the overseas colonies of the Ashan Empire completely inherited the tradition of the mother country. Cavalry is the absolute core of the army, and knights in armor and helmets are the protagonists on the battlefield-this is the same in Midgard or Yalfheim.
Joan is very familiar with his cavalry tactics. He can't even imagine how a unit without cavalry would fight?
"Mobility" and "impact" are the two major advantages of the Midgard Corps over the Convalley Corps.
Arnold believes that under the unfavorable situation that its military strength is at a disadvantage, if it can fully utilize the two advantages of "mobile" and "impact" to defeat the Fiji Zhen infantry in the field, it is still very promising. Is the reason why he offered to serve in the "Blue Lancer"
