Chapter 214: Population growth
Chapter 210 – Population Increase
This gang of musketeers really deserves to be a restless prick, in the face of the number of quite a lot of people who are also addicted to cannibalism of the chaotic people, still do not hesitate to rush up, the muzzle of the gun almost dislike the other side of the brain to shoot, even if this kind of short-barrelled civilian musket has more shortcomings, it is also not so much as to fall off the chain at this time, the round, hot projectile with smoke directly into the other side of the brain shell, shattered the head of a small half.
Then this gang of musketeers will directly throw away the hand of the musket, pick up the tomahawk issued to them rushed up to see people cut, tough mess.
This is not a musketeer, is clearly a Viking.
Dislike face shooting to take out more than half of the people, the rest of the musketeers surrounded by chopping with the blood gourd in general, which has what resistance, so the battle quickly ended, but Charlie deliberately left a mess of the people, which is to Kayla prepared a small gift.
Whether Charlie or Monk will take care of the young girl a little, but not overprotective, so that the other party can not touch anything, and this is exactly what Corenth’s idea.
Since his daughter chose this path, then as a father he can only support silently, otherwise as a formal baron and as the mayor of the town, why would he take the opportunity to send food to Charlie and Monk each sent a good horse and sufficient supplies.
Both sides understand this, since you want to break in, then you have to have the faith to bear it all, this is the common thought of the three men.
Kayla’s hand on the gun was steady in the face of her shivering captive, but her eyes were a little blank.
Although she had grown up telling herself over and over again that this was the way to go, as well as firmly believing that she would be decisive and do the job to show her father, when it came down to it, she realized that she wasn’t as strong and decisive as she had imagined.
But Charlie and Monk were old hands, and the guy specially selected to be left with the little girl was handpicked, not only for his ugliness, but also for his surroundings, which fit the atmosphere quite well.
This is a group of people’s camp, there is no fence to prevent wild animals, there is no tent to protect against the cold, there are only simple animal skins and campfires, as well as looted iron pots and inside the stewed meat.
What kind of meat can a group of poor messy people eat, just look at it, that unlucky man who lost his limbs has just been relieved by a smooth axe.
“The buck-toothed, open-mouthed, small-eyed, collapsed-nosed messy folk knew very well that his only chance of survival lay in the beautiful young girl in front of him, so he didn’t hesitate to beg for forgiveness instead of pouncing on him like a wild animal as he had done in the past, but Kayla was even more determined than he thought, and just as soon as he spat out a single word, a bullet blew his head off.
The headless body of the disorganized man fell limply to the ground, dropping his private stash of dry food from the other man’s arms.
Seeing this scene, Kayla’s originally somewhat rapid breathing, as well as her trembling hands suddenly smoothed out, she calmly reloaded her ammunition, carried her gun, and stood behind Charlie, waiting for orders.
Charlie secretly nodded, not to mention the strength, just this heart exceeds many nobles he has seen, it seems that he underestimated this young girl.
There are always more chaotic people with a bottom line, and those who eat people and those who don’t eat people are wary of each other and never mix together, so the next action of Charlie and their action was quite smooth, capturing hundreds of people one after another.
These people were sent to the town of Mara, and then Bella sent nomadic cavalry to escort them to the town of Akita, allowing the territory to gain a large number of people in a short period of time.
When they arrived at Akita Town, most of the chaotic people, after realizing that they only needed to work honestly for half a year before they could share their fields and land, didn’t hesitate to swear allegiance to the Hydra Family and be the most loyal territorial citizens.
Some people who are accustomed to the life of licking blood from the head of the sword were trained to become the second and third batch of military units, respectively, Monk and Kaila were responsible for leading, constantly accelerating the pace of collecting the people, the population of the territory exceeded 10,000 in just a short period of time, which can be seen by the influx of the number of chaotic people into the Northland.
Unfortunately, except for Owen, no other lord dares to collect the foreign population, especially the restless people.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the assimilation effect of the town center that was really powerful and the territory’s policy that was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, doubling the population in a short period of time wouldn’t even be possible without chaos.
In addition to that, the internal affairs system also deserves a lot of credit.
Nowadays, the internal affairs department is not just two or three kittens, in addition to Maya overseeing the overall situation, there are also system nobles serving as middle managers, and a large number of citizens have been transferred to the grassroots managers to go deep into the corners of the territory, so although the population has skyrocketed, it’s still under control. However, in order to manage it more easily, the territory needed to be reorganized once more and be prepared for the population to continue to increase.
First, outside of the city, farmers are building wooden fortresses and earth fortresses with a hundred households, training militia and releasing muskets and other weapons.
With such preparations, even if faced with a regular army, defending the fortresses will be able to withstand it for a while and support it until reinforcements arrive, not to mention the chaos that may be encountered.
Next was the town of Akita, which was the main focus. In addition to the preparations for expansion, the army also had to be upgraded, otherwise it would not be useful in the upcoming wave.
Soldiers that were previously used as a base and worth one progress value were all eliminated.
These types of soldiers occupy a large proportion of the army but have not been able to play a sufficient role, and now it is even more like a chicken ribs, for example, if you meet the current musket militia, as long as you hit, a shot can be reimbursed one.
Of course, if you can’t hit it and get close, you’ll have to trade a few lives for it.
To summarize, the value of a progress value of soldiers, defending the city is not as cost-effective as the musket militia, field battle also played no role, so Owen ordered, all trained into musket soldiers.
As for the previous scruples, but also scruples Nima, the empire a bunch of predators are about to go down to the field to start the meal, do not grow a little thorns, for fear that even the first round can not hold out.
With a relatively sufficient population, Owen expanded the number of soldiers to two thousand in one breath, of which one thousand people of the main regiment is in charge of Howard, five hundred people of the city defense army is in charge of Hogg, one hundred people of the escort and four hundred people of the conscripts are in charge of Maya.
The main regiment was responsible for going out to fight, so it had to be fast and powerful enough, so besides having a large number of men, it was also divided into cavalry and infantry.
Main Regiment: 1,000 men, Commander Howard.
30 scouts, 300 musketeers, 200 swordsmen.
Scout Cavalry 50, Riflemen 200, Bow Cavalry 100, Breastplate Cavalry 100, Knights 20.
From the types of troops, there was no thought of attacking, and the main battle was in the field.
In fact, the entire Northland, except for the towns of those two counts near the border of the Empire, there are no decent buildings that need to be attacked, so artillery and other things don’t need to be equipped at all, and the main thing to do is to intercept the war and get rid of it quickly.
The city defense army was different, because it needed to garrison the town of Akita, so it was equipped with a large number of firearms.
City Defense Army: 500 men, Commander Hogg
Musketeers 100, Artillery 200, Swordsmen 100, Lancers 100.
Three-pounders 20, eight-pounders 12.
The main reason why there were so few musketeers suitable for defense was because of the presence of escorts and conscripts.
Guard 100: Longswords 50, Musketeers 50, responsible for guarding the center of the town.
Conscripts 400: Soldiers 200, Musketeers 200, responsible for patrolling inside and outside the town.
