Chapter 27: Recruit a batch of archers

林 Marin is very dissatisfied with this pure spear array. Because, when facing the line of fire gun array, the spear array became a clear target.
However, for now, it is difficult to find a group of Musketeers in the German region. Not to mention the danger of using a musket and the high price of gunpowder.
When he went into the forest for a hunt, Marin thought-could he use archers instead of the Musketeers in the Spanish side?
You know, the trump card in the French army is the Swiss Lancer. The Swiss spearman is a pure melee unit without long-range strike capability. More importantly, the Swiss spearmen are basically poor, and most people have no money to buy expensive plate armor to protect their bows and arrows.
In this era, bows and arrows may have lost their effect on French knights wearing plate armor, but for those Swiss spearmen in fancy clothes, they were not capable of equipping them with plate armor. Moreover, the infantry could not move in plate armor.
Thinking of this, Marin summoned all the mercenaries and asked:
"Are you good at archery?"
Hey look at me, I look at you, no one responds. But a mercenary raised his hand and called out:
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"Master, I don't know how to shoot arrows, but I know who shoots!"
"where is it?"
"Just outside Vienna, many people from Orion came to apply for infantry."
"Orion for infantry?"
"Yes, some people don't know the news, they don't know that the empire only needs the spearman, and they think it is the archer. Others are directly planning to transfer to grow into the spearman."
"Very good, thank you for your message. I will add a piece of meat tonight." Marin said with satisfaction, and instructed the cooking class director Tara (one of Marin's attendants, who has more cooking talents, Marin teaches (He gave him a few hands to make him good at cauldrons.) He added braised venison to the guy who provided the news.
After the tragedy, Marin took Kohler and Sauer, hurried back to the recruiting site outside Vienna, and began exploring around. Then Marin simply erected a flag and openly recruited archers ...
此时 But at this time, the infantry recruitment has ended, and only a small number of people are here. Many hunters actually went home after seeing that the Empire did not recruit archers. Malin Fei thought hard and recruited 8 archers only near the recruiting point in the west of Vienna. Later, he rushed to two points in the east and south of the city and exhausted his thoughts before recruiting another 12 people.
In the end, Marin recruited only 20 archers. As a last resort, Marin had no choice but to take these 20 people back to the station in Robach. In fact, more than 20 people would be shooting arrows outside of Vienna at this time. However, most people don't believe in this child of Marin. Only these 20 people are easy to flicker. I believe Marin is willing to follow him.
After returning to the station, Marin first arranged for the 20 people to make straw shoes, and arranged for these people to take a bath to change clothes (in the mercenary regiment, Marin forced everyone to take a bath and wash clothes).
After a while, Marin formed another team and asked Sauer to train the group with ready-made methods. First, of course, let them take off their right shoes and teach them to distinguish between right and left.
Then, it is physical training and shooting training. These hunters have their own bows and arrows. Because the principle of mercenaries these years is to bring their own equipment.
To Marin's surprise, with these Orion, the mercenary regiment needed meat and did not have to go out on its own. Just bring a few Orion into the mountain and cooperate with each other to bring enough meat for the mercenary regiment. Can not only improve food for everyone, but also save a lot of money.
As for the local tax officer, when he encountered an ordinary Orion, he came to blackmail. But Marin 100 was stationed here, and there were documents recognized by the empire, and the local sheriff and tax officer did not dare to put one. Not to mention that there is no aristocracy in this town, there are only a few jazz (the status is equivalent to knights and squires, but there is no fighting power), even the average baron, in the face of a 100-member mercenary group, dare not say .
Because of the popularity of robbery in mercenaries these years, it is no different from the gangs. Now, people in the town of Robach are praying that the "Huffman Mercenary Regiment" should not rob the town. Where can they dare to offend the mercenary regiment?
Fortunately, Marin paid great attention to the discipline of the army, and mercenaries were strictly prohibited from doing things like stealing chickens or dogs, or they would be dealt with by military law. Of course ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Marin may promise, and later hit Italy, he can carry out some robbery if he allows.
You know, those who are willing to be mercenaries these years, in addition to eating and drinking, also have to make a fortune. Because mercenary robbery is common.
Furthermore, in the Middle Ages, agriculture was the most developed in Italy. This also makes the economy in Italy generally better than in Germany.
Not only that, Italians are good at doing business, and there are many wealthy businessmen there. Many people have been waiting for the battle in Italy. Because there are many rich Italians waiting for them to rob ...
Marin knows that there is nothing wrong with being willing to be a mercenary. They are not kings. If they forcibly suppress their robberies, they may be betrayed. Therefore, Marin had no choice but to agree to their robbery in Italy.
But he also demanded that — robbery is OK, and casual killing and injury are not allowed. In addition, it is forbidden to oppress the poor and to highlight the food of ordinary people. Because if the food of the poor is robbed, they may starve to death. They are mercenaries, not demons.
Because the 100th people who marched to Marin are basically novices, not the veteran mules who are used to mercenaries, their consciences have not been extinguished. Therefore, they also strongly agree with Marin's request. Besides, if you want food, you can get enough of them. It is not necessary to grab civilian food. Moreover, there is too much food, so I ca n’t take it all away.
In the days that followed, the archer's training progress gradually caught up with the spearman. Therefore, Marin began to try to mix the spearman and archer, and began to try to change the line ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are here EbookFREE.me ~ Mobile users, please read.
