18th century total war

Chapter 114 Worries and Surprises

"My lord, those liberal aristocratic generals in Kanol took away many soldiers and horses, do you really want to let them go?
Although their people can't compete with the black dragon army of adults, they still pose a great threat when they join the local guerrillas. "

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, those people escaped with our troops and horses, on the contrary, it is convenient for us to attack them in a legitimate way.

As for the guerrillas...

Hmph, can those soldiers really suffer from the guerrillas?
What's more, Mr. Levi represents the legality of the traditional French nobility. Sooner or later, the Normandy region will be entrusted to those French nobles who have lost their fiefs. If you perform well, you can also hope to get a fief.

We have the support of many French nobles. Are we still worried about the guerrillas who only go to the mountains and forests? "

Karl was not worried at all about the escaped Canol and his party, because he was very clear about the composition of the army in this era, let alone the provincial coalition forces with the nature of second-line troops, even the French regular army, keeping them away from their hometown and towns, day and night. Fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests and see how many people can hold on!
In the American War of Independence, they were able to rely on guerrilla warfare to fight against the British, not because the Continental Army of the United States could bear hardships and stand hard work, but because there were Frenchmen behind them who were constantly feeding them!

What's more, the American Continental Army at that time did not live in the mountains and forests for a long time. They also occupied many big cities and fought back and forth with the British. Otherwise, Louis XVI would not have helped a city no matter how big his brain was. There is no American 'guerrilla'.

There is no such-and-such brainwashing of spiritual bombs in this era. In guerrilla warfare, the lack of food alone can deter most fighters.

In the Brittany region, most of the failed guerrillas were not annihilated by the Livy government, but dispersed on their own because they could not bear the pain of starvation...

Karl, who knew very well what the guerrillas were in the Brittany region, would naturally not worry about the soldiers and horses taken away by the escaped liberal aristocratic generals turning into guerrillas in the Normandy region.

If they really want to become guerrillas, the threat to the Black Dragon Legion is not as great as traveling to other provinces.

Even if the liberal aristocratic generals headed by Kanol leave the provinces, how much will the soldiers under their command have left to fight?
Leaving Caen, the spiritual pillar city, the provincial coalition forces in the Normandy region almost collapsed.

Senawi didn't know much about military affairs, so he was not good at talking about military affairs on paper, but after seeing Karl's determined eyes, he stopped asking questions.

It was not that the Senawi had racked his brains to express his loyalty to the stability of Livy's regime as soon as he surrendered, but that the Senawi was worried that the Normandy region would be in a state of war for a long time, which would affect the profitability of the industries under his name.

Captain Wright did not see the surrender ceremony in Caen, because at this time he was leading hundreds of prisoners of war, followed by dozens of local garrisons from the Brittany region in civilian clothes, towards the city of Rennes. Direction forward.

The Li Wei regime, which was not financially rich, did not even equip the local garrison with a uniform set of military uniforms...

After all, in Li Wei's eyes, the garrison troops in these places can only be regarded as militiamen, and the militiamen naturally don't need to spend money to purchase uniform military uniforms.

The local garrison troops in the Brittany region are typical "check-in" soldiers. They work hard for the Li Wei government just to support their families. Even if they send troops to suppress bandits, they have an absolute advantage in numbers and firepower to burst Normal fighting power.

That's why Karl never let these people go to the front line. It is estimated that these people can't even handle a round of guns from the defenders of Caen...

"Walk another half a day to the next town, and we will officially enter the border of Brittany."

The chief of the team escorting the captives, that is, the captain of the local garrison, said to Captain Wright while drinking water.

The local garrison did not implement the military rank system like the Black Dragon Legion, but adopted a simple captain garrison system.

The youngest officer in the local garrison is the deputy captain, then the captain, and the captain is the chief and deputy garrison officer.

A city is equipped with one to three garrison officers, and the strength of a garrison officer is about one battalion.

Similar 'grass team' can be seen in many places in Li Wei's government.

After all, Li Wei did not graduate from the history department in his previous life, and he didn't know much about the historical military system. He set his official positions based on his experience and "game knowledge" in his previous life. As for the administrative system, he copied the original French official positions, plus his previous life. cognition, mixed together.

This captain's attitude towards Captain Wright is much better than that of other prisoners, because he knows that Captain Wright has sworn allegiance to the Black Dragon Legion, and when he enters the training camp in Rennes City, he will be a captain in the Black Dragon Legion!
The captain of the Black Dragon Legion is like a god to the captain of the local garrison. Even the garrison officer of the local garrison serves the captain of the Black Dragon Legion as a subordinate.

In the Livi regime, the Black Dragon Legion was an army that was superior to all military forces.

In terms of law, the Black Dragon Legion can intervene in any affairs of Li Wei's regime, including unlimited law enforcement power!

Naturally, the captain did not dare to offend someone like Captain Wright.

It's just that Captain Wright didn't have any pride in his heart, but was full of bitterness.

The more times he contacts the Black Dragon Legion, the less desire Captain Wright has to join the Black Dragon Legion!

In the eyes of Captain Wright, the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion have no fun in life!

They don't get close to women, don't like gambling, don't have any entertainment, patrol or train in their spare time, maintain their peak combat power, as if they are ready to go to the battlefield anytime, anywhere...

Except when sleeping at night, Captain Wright suspected that the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion would not have any rest time. The most terrifying thing is that the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion took the initiative to do this. Captain Wright did not find any military judges among the Black Dragon Legion!

Nowadays, Captain Wright is even more convinced that those people who come from different regions and whose original identities are very different, when they enter the Black Dragon Legion, they are like people carved out of the same mold, and they must have been affected by strange forces.

Perhaps, the rumors outside that Levi is the son of Satan from hell are all true!
Just when Captain Wright was worried about his future prospects, a group of people holding muskets and crossbows suddenly rushed out of the bushes in the distance. After this group of people rushed out, before the stunned escorting soldiers could react, Just a spluttering shot.

Not many people were killed, but including the captain who got close to Captain Wright, he threw away the musket in his hand and ran away in an instant...
