On the third Saturday of September, at the training ground outside Beiguan Army Fortress, the autumn wind in the wilderness roared and raised the blood-eyed howling wolf heraldic flag that was erected high on the base of the earthen base.
Hym Under the coat of arms, Art, wearing a full set of black plate armor, a robe and cape, and a stainless steel knight's sword at his waist, stood astride the general's platform, and the autumn wind raised his cloak.
On the right side of Att stood the leading knights Odo and Angus under the command of the palace frontier baron. They were also dressed in fine and shiny plate mail armor and black cloaks; on the left side stood the civil affairs officer "Honorary Knight" Cooper, the military priest Robert, and the parish priest Hamish.
· At the head of the general stage are Reyek (Wandering Knight), Ron, Kazak, Lusignan, and Tuba, headed by Bas, and several trainee knights;
Behind the trainee knights are the knight attendants headed by Colin, Tredok, Jafar, Klaus and others;
Behind them are more than a dozen former combat group leaders and former army soldiers (veterans) who are listed as officers;
The training ground The largest group of people stood at the back. They were the newly recruited soldiers who had just completed their basic training. After a full month of torture, these recruits had already formed a habit of arranging military formations. Although they were just fancy, more than 400 people were neatly arranged vertically and horizontally, giving people an inexplicable sense of shock and solemnity.
On the left side of the general stage, next to the army, stood a dozen or so people in civilian clothes. They were the civil affairs officials and representatives of the people who were invited to watch the founding ceremony of the regiment. Behind the civil affairs in civilian clothes were more than thirty standing peasant soldiers of the Valley Guard Corps wearing simple burqas and capes.
“My soldiers, my brothers.” Art shouted at the top of his lungs, because there were too many people here, and the lower voice would not be able to reach everyone’s ears.
"Today, we gather together in this land blessed by God to witness the birth of a powerful army. This army will be brave, because we have wise and resourceful commanders at all levels to lead the troops in battle, because we have experienced elite soldiers to lead the charge, because we have resolute and resolute soldier brothers to march forward indomitably; this army will be loyal, from resisting bandits to regaining lost territory, from eliminating bandits to going into battle. Kill the enemy, from Swabia in the east to Lombardy in the south. Many of you have followed me all the way over the years. You will always be the brothers I can trust. You were, are, and will be in the future. This army must be faithful. We have never oppressed the good, never plundered the weak, and we have never raided the church. We uphold the honor and faith of a warrior like a knight. "
"Many of you are my beloved relatives, friends and battlefield brothers who have followed me for many years, but more of you are new brothers who have just been recruited to join my army. You should feel honored to be able to stand here and become a member of the army that is about to be established."
Att's voice became louder and louder, and finally almost roared: "Because, I, Art Wood Wells, will solemnly promise to you in the name of God, I will definitely lead your victorious army to be invincible!"
"The victorious army is invincible!"
"The victorious army is invincible!"
"The victorious army is invincible!"
At the general point, the voices of hundreds of soldiers became louder and louder, and everyone's excitement became more and more boiling.
After a few noises in the crowd, the crowd gradually subsided. Art drew out the knight's sword from his waist, raised it high, pointed at the sky and shouted loudly: "I, Art Wood Wells, the frontier baron of the court of the Earl of Burgundy and commander of the legion, declare that the Wells Legion will be officially established from now on!"
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
There were three cheers from both the stage and the audience.
After everyone finished shouting, Art continued: "Now, I announce the military structure (organization) and officer appointment of the Welsh Legion!"
...
Through the operation and manipulation of Earl Baldwin, the deputy minister of military affairs at the palace, the palace has approved the establishment of a border garrison regiment in Tyniec County, the southern border of the county, under the control of the palace military minister. The border garrison regiment was named the Wells Corps after the surname of the regiment commander.
Him The palace was not interested in this army. It did not pay military salaries and did not allocate weapons and armor. In essence, it was a lord's private army in the name of the palace. Therefore, the military system of the Welsh Army was completely established by the commander, Baron Arter of the Frontier.
According to convention, the standard establishment of an infantry corps is a squadron of six, with two squadrons and one squadron, four squadrons and one flag squad, and four flag squadrons and one company. Above the squadron, there are escorts and attachés; the military positions of the legion from bottom to top are ordinary soldiers, squad leader, squadron leader, flag captain, deputy company captain, company captain, legion adjutant, and legion commander. The original combat group leader level has been cancelled. The squad captain is the backbone of combat soldiers and has a slightly higher salary, but he is no longer an officer.
After Art’s careful consideration, the legion has three company-level establishments, two deputy company-level establishments, and five flag-team-level establishments;
The five directly-affiliated flag-team-level establishments are: Legion Heavy Armored Infantry Team, Legion Crossbow Team, Legion Baggage Team, Border Garrison, and Patrol Team;
The two deputy company-level organizations are: Legion Cavalry Team and Guards Law Team;
The three main company-level organizations are: Valley Guard Corps, Legion First Company, and Legion Second Company.
Legion Heavy Armored Infantry Team is a new team to be built, consisting of thirty armored (heavy armored) heavy infantrymen, with one flag-level captain and two squadron captains;
Legion Crossbow Team is expanded from the original crossbow squad, with a staff of thirty people, including one flag-level captain and two squadron captains;
Legion baggage corps was expanded from the original baggage corps, with a staff of thirty (excluding conscripts), with jurisdiction over the arsenal, transport team, medical team, kitchen, and camp building team; it has one flag team-level captain and four squadron captains;
The border garrison is the expansion of the original border garrison, with a staff of thirty people, including one flag team-level commander and two squadron-level deputy commanders;
The patrol team is an expansion of the original patrol team, with a strength of fifty, with one captain at the flag team level, and three deputy captains at the squadron level; Two people, four squadron-level sergeants, ordinary cavalry enjoy the treatment of squad captain;
The Guard Military Corps was restructured from the original guard team, with a staff of twelve, including one deputy company-level captain and two squadron-level deputy captains, and the remaining ordinary guards receive the treatment of soldiers;
The Valley Garrison Corps is an upgrade of the original Valley Garrison Corps, with a strength of 120 people. It has jurisdiction over the security team, the new army, and the peasant army (including standing agricultural soldiers). It has one company-level commander, one flag-level corps adjutant, and five squadron-level officers;
The first (second) company of the legion is the main force of the legion’s soldiers and the core of the entire legion’s combat.
He announced the military structure of the Welsh Army, and then announced the topic that everyone was most concerned about, "Next, I announce the appointment of the commanding officers at all levels of the Army." The regiment has all the important military and political affairs, and has direct jurisdiction over the legion's guard army, legion heavy infantry team, legion crossbow team, border garrison, and border patrol team. The legion commander has a legion command camp with no hierarchy. It is composed of two legion adjutants, an accompanying priest, and an accompanying military doctor. It is composed of sergeants, clerks, servants and others."
"The leading knight Odo serves as the adjutant of the legion command, and also serves as the captain of the first company of the legion, and is in charge of the legion's baggage team."
"Angus, the leading knight, serves as the adjutant of the legion command, and also serves as the captain of the second company of the legion, and is in charge of the legion's cavalry."
"Bath, the trainee knight, serves as the commander of the garrison legion and commands the garrison legion."
"Apprentice knight Kazak, serves as the first banner captain of the first company of the legion."
h "Apprentice knight Ron, serves as captain of the regiment of guards."
"Apprentice knight Lusignan, serves as captain of the legion's cavalry."
"Knight Reyek, serves as deputy captain of the cavalry (standard level, Jafar is also the deputy captain)"
The above are the military appointments of knights (apprentice knights).
The above are the officer appointments of the troops directly under the banner level;
"Appoint Colin as the captain of the second flag of the first company of the legion; Weitz as the captain of the third flag; Bangeda as the captain of the fourth flag"
"Appoint Tuba as the captain of the first flag of the second company of the legion; Terry Doc as the captain of the second flag; Captain Andrew of the third flag; Captain of the fourth flag of Pats;"
"The remaining officers at the squadron level and above are appointed by each company and directly affiliated flag team after reporting to the legion.... .."
After Ate announced the most important legionary military system and officer positions, the military priest Robert and the parish priest Hamish prayed and congratulated the newly-established Welsh Legion...
The establishment of a regular legion was by no means as simple as the establishment of the army's military system and the appointment of officers at all levels.
Half a month after the legion's formation ceremony, the entire legion was busy non-stop. The formation of new soldiers, the allocation of original veterans, the distribution of military supplies and weapons, the salaries of soldiers and officers, the allocation of attachés at all levels, etc. all needed to be sorted out.
Although the newly appointed officers at all levels have some theoretical foundations in the daily management of the army after several months of officer training, and have some experience in leading troops before, the original dozen or so subordinate soldiers suddenly turned into fifty or sixty soldiers, with fifty or sixty mouths and hundreds of hands and feet. Many officers were still unable to adapt.
The result of the officers' temporary inability to adapt is that Art's legion command camp has become the most lively place. The officers have to ask Art for instructions on anything they are unsure about. The uneven distribution of veterans requires coordination, the old and new weapons and armor need to be coordinated, the barracks, tents, training venues...
All of these, Art, Odo, and Angus never touch the ground every day.
This kind of busyness was basically over until mid-October. The Welsh Legion finally began to get on track. The legion soldiers began their own training, and Art also laid down his territorial duties and began to focus most of his energy on the legion.
