South East Yorkshire, north of the Humber. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ. The former Supreme Military Commander of the West Frisian Aristocratic Republic, Siwager, has also been here for several months. With the help of the "Robin Hood Thieves Group" led by Coster and Mali, Siwager and his cronies succeeded in recruiting 10,000 young men from refugees in several counties in England and started training.

And these 10,000 English recruits were organized by Marlin as the Fifth Army...

Marin's legion consisted of 6,000 more than 4,000 Roman legions, and could form eight square formations. And because of the shortage of muskets and ammunition, there are many British people who are good at archery. Therefore, this legion is similar to Saqqara's Fourth Legion, which is also dominated by English soldiers, and both use bows and arrows as long-range weapons.

Despite months of training in south-east Yorkshire, north of the Humber, Siwager has little faith in the new Fifth Corps. After all, don't look at the dog-like appearance of these recruits during training, they are pleasing to the eye, but in the battlefield, everyone is a young child, maybe something big will happen...

Facing the British army of 20,000 experienced soldiers, Sivag did not think that the 10,000 English recruits of the Fifth Army had any combat effectiveness. After being hit by a few rounds of arrows from the English longbowmen, I might cry and call my mother...

As a matter of fact, not only did Siwager have no confidence in the Fifth Army, but Marin also had no confidence in the Fifth Army. The fighting will of the English soldiers is not as strong as that of the Germans. Although Saqqara's "food 'tempt' and 'tempt' training method" helps in training, it is completely unknown how much combat power they have...

So, after consideration, Marin decided to send the 10,000 troops to York City to assist Edward's original 10,000 troops to defend the city...

Marin was not at ease with the French soldiers, fearing that they would resent Edward and that they would surrender to the British. Therefore, sending another 10,000 people over would also give them confidence.

In addition, for new recruits, there is no better way to exercise for defending the city. On a frontal battlefield, recruits may collapse due to the onslaught of the enemy. But in the battle of defending the city, because of the huge advantage of the tall and strong city wall, the recruits have a heart to rely on, and naturally it is not easy to collapse.

You must know that in the battle of defending the city, let alone the trained recruits, they are considered to be strong people without military skills. Also, it is more effective. After all, the sturdiness of the city walls gives soldiers who are not veterans a great sense of security...

Therefore, Marin intends to use this York City defense battle to exercise the recruits, let them see blood, and exercise their courage and courage...

Soldiers who have seen blood are very different from those who have never seen blood. Soldiers in peacetime look handsome in military parades, but in real battlefields, they may not work. Because, military parades and wars are completely different...

parade of peace soldiers,

He looked serious, but his muscles were actually tensed. Don't look at a bluffing look, in fact, those soldiers may still be nervous in their hearts.

But the veterans who have seen blood and the different ones who can climb out of the dead on the battlefield are either broken in their hearts, or everything doesn't matter - even death doesn't matter, so their faces are full of indifference and coldness ...

Therefore, the same serious expression, the new recruit Danzi who has never seen blood is different from the veteran of a hundred battles. The peace soldier who has never seen blood has a serious face because he is nervous and cautious; while the veteran who has seen blood is because he doesn't care about everything and is a little numb to life, so he doesn't even bother to have an expression on his face—— I'm not afraid of death, it's a waste of money to live, and I'm afraid of a ball? Seeing strangers, bloodthirsty veterans may take you as a "head", and killing you is no different from killing a "chicken" in their hearts. And they suddenly have the look of killing the chicken, and sensitive people will take it as murderous... Because, the bloodthirsty veteran in front of you may really think about how to kill you, thinking about where to kill you with a knife... …

Don't get me wrong, he didn't really want to kill you, he just got used to killing you. The veterans who use it will think about how to stab you, and those who use guns will wonder where to beat you the fastest to make you burp... This kind of indifference with malicious eyes is what people call murderousness...

Marin was a knight himself, with a bit of that veteran habit. For example, seeing other knights sometimes thinking about knocking each other off their horses with lances, or aiming at people’s necks—thinking about how to use sabres to fly each other’s heads when passing by...

In a previous life, Marin met a veteran who was a sniper. He was silent, but he always liked to look at people's eyebrows - paralyzed, he was thinking about how to blow your head... This is purely a long-term training. professional habit...

...

Habits are terrible. When a person is used to killing, this person is not a perverted wanted criminal but an elite veteran...

Only when you are used to killing and look down on life and death can you grow into a veteran of a hundred battles. Therefore, Marin intends to send the newly established Fifth Army to York City, and take the initiative to replace those Frenchmen who are responsible for the city's guarding work and face the siege of the English army.

Although some people may die, most of the wartime will be used to the cruelty of the battlefield after this war. As for those who really can't adapt, it can be seen through the brutal defense of the city. Then, either be executed or kicked out of the army...

The Fifth Corps is of great use to Marin. After Edward occupied London, he could no longer rely on those Frenchmen to help him defend the city. Otherwise, Edward himself would be afraid. So Edward needed an army that belonged to the new kingdom of England.

Of course, in the short term, Edward is also difficult to find a suitable army to protect himself. Therefore, Marin will definitely select one from Saqqara's Fourth Army and Siwag's Fifth Army, and is temporarily ordered to protect Edward and let Edward get through the difficult stage. After all, these two legions were composed of Englishmen, and Edward was more convenient to use. As for which one to choose, it depends on Edward's preference.

When Edward has a firm foothold, he will definitely form his own direct line army. Then, this army will surely be marginalized. But it doesn't matter, after all, after Edward succeeds, Marin will also become the new Earl of Northumberland and Lord of the Isle of Wight. Big deal, send them to guard Northumberland and the Isle of Wight.

Marin reckoned that Edward had a higher probability of choosing the Fifth Army. After all, the Fifth Legion is a newly formed legion, and its loyalty to the "old master" of Marin is not very high. This gave Edward a chance to win over. Therefore, Marin needs to quickly make the Fifth Corps fight.

After all, Marin must return to Germany with the main force after the battle. It would be a shame if the Fifth Legion had never seen blood, was too cowardly, and was finally overturned by the remnants of Henry VII. If I send troops to attack England again, I will not worry about it. If my daughter-in-law Princess Margaret is accidentally killed by the rebels, then Marin will have no reason to rule England in the future...

Perhaps by virtue of hard power, Marin can indeed rely on force to subdue England's useless firewood. However, the resistance uprising in the future will definitely be indispensable, and it will be a headache to death. Marin can't guarantee that his descendants will also be "proficient" in the military and will overwhelm the whole of England... If one makes trouble, he will be sent to the guillotine... Therefore, it is better to obtain the English throne through legal principles...

To this end, Malin specially revised the battle plan-he planned to leave York City with 5,000 veterans after the Fifth Army arrived in York City, and "hand over" York City to the Fifth Army for defense. Moreover, he would not immediately attack the English army from behind, but let the Fifth Army and the English army fight for a while. After the new recruits of the Fifth Army have fully seen the blood, they will dispatch the main force and attack from behind to completely solve the English army...
