Black Iron Crown

Chapter 455: Fort Creek

   Time passed very quickly. In just one month, the factories of the royal lords rose from the ground, and piles of wool cloth were produced from their factories.

   At the same time, Reiner’s stock of skim wool was also rapidly consumed.

   More than 50,000 sheep from the expedition to the grassland last year were consciously reproduced. By this time, they had reached 60,000. In addition to some of them were slaughtered and supplied to the army, more newborn lambs were initially grown and began to produce wool.

   After all, Leiner’s sheep base is huge. Under such circumstances, the speed of reproduction even exceeds the speed of slaughter, so Leiner is not worried that the number of sheep will not make ends meet.

   What he was worried about was that the growth rate of wool could not keep up with the production of wool cloth.

   The army in the north has become more and more mature after a long period of training. It had experienced a baptism of life and death on the battlefield. After returning to the territory, it began to continue the previous training.

   Now all the soldiers under Rainer's command are soldiers who have gone through at least one battle and have been trained for more than one year.

   Each of them is not weak in combat effectiveness. At least in terms of physical stamina and combat experience, they are only weaker than the Merland military, and they are definitely elite compared to the armies of other lords.

   Even in such a cold winter, these soldiers still need to train for more than eleven hours a day.

   This kind of training intensity can be called **** in this era, but the soldiers can withstand it.

   Under the food supply of meat, milk and eggs in Leonardon, the physical fitness of each of them has risen in a straight line, and their tendons look like a strong bull as powerful as a bull.

   There are meat, eggs and milk for all meals, which is definitely a huge expense.

In fact, if the food is converted into currency, it is definitely more than the salary paid to the soldiers. If Leiner had not raised the flocks and chickens himself, he would use all the money to buy these meat, eggs and milk. I am afraid he is now It's already bankrupt.

   His army eats more than 40 sheep every day, and on average, each person eats two catties of mutton a day!

This is not counting eggs and goat milk. One can imagine how terrifying their protein and nutrient intake is. However, their training consumption is balanced with their intake, otherwise they will all become Big fat man.

   However, it is worth mentioning that the soldiers' gums occasionally ooze blood during this period of time. Reiner knows that this is a manifestation of a lack of vitamins, but there is no way.

   Now the northern border is heavily snowed, there are no vegetables for them to eat, even Lena himself has bleeding gums, and can only barely add some pickles.

   In the barracks, there is a full of enthusiasm.

   Even in such a cold world, the atmosphere is still as hot as summer.

   The soldiers shouted loudly and ran in circles. Some soldiers trained with long swords, and many others trained their arms and waist strength with various equipment made of stones.

  Frant stood with a big belly and followed Leiner's side watching the soldiers' training, and couldn't help but be speechless: "Is this kind of training too demanding? Shouldn't the soldiers be given some rest time?"

   She used to lead soldiers on the battlefield. Even so, she still felt cruel after seeing the training intensity of the soldiers in the North.

   "Put a little more sweat on the training field, and you may save a life on the battlefield! Now if they don't work hard, the right person will die in the battle scene!"

   "What's more, I am not giving them such a high salary and such a good meal for them to enjoy, they will fight for me!"

   Rainer shook his head and said to Frank: "Without such an army, why should I be the Great Duke of the North? I have to have the strength to match this title!"

  Flat was silent after listening. She finally understood why so many royal lords were defeated by the rebels on the battlefield. Only Rainer's army could hold on.

   "Is this... the army in the north..." Frank looked at these vigorous soldiers with awe.

   At the beginning, she thought that the army she led was well-trained. When she saw the army that came to An, she knew what really well-trained means.

  Rainer's current army number has reached more than 3,100 men, and the army of vassals can almost reach about 6,000 men.

   At this stage, this is a force capable of changing the situation, but in the final analysis, it still hasn't reached the point where it can affect the overall situation with its own power.

   Otherwise, Rainer still needs to forbear?

   Whenever his army reached more than 10,000 people, he dared to take the army south to fight the imperial capital, and put the emperor's hat on his head.

   But no way, he still can't feed so many troops.

   He now has a population of only 180,000, which is still a number reached after a series of scams and abductions and the increase of refugees.

   There are only over 80,000 men among them, and only over 50,000 young men are suitable for the battlefield.

   These 50,000 people are responsible for most of the manual labor in the territory, including farming, harvesting, construction, everything requires labor.

   Even if the ratio of regular army to residents is one to one hundred, it seems to be very aggressive. Before there are more people, it is not suitable for recruiting too many full-time professional troops into the army, which will affect the overall development of the territory.

   This is also the reason why Reiner took the route of elite soldiers. He was unable to pull out thousands of serfs and send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder like the lord of the south did. He really couldn't bear it.

   At the same time, Fort Creek also faced a choice.

   Count Entos and Count Riel brought their vassals together. In addition, three barons formed two coalition forces, stationed on the south and southwest borders of Fort Creek.

   No one knows when they will cross the border and launch an attack on Fort Creek. For a while, the entire Fort Creek people are in panic.

   "Oh my god, these **** invaders, why are they attacking us!" a local resident said worriedly.

   "Maybe I should switch to another place to do business, it's too dangerous here!" This was the idea of ​​a businessman who took his goods and all his wealth to rush to other areas.

"Come and take a look! The manor with fifty acres of arable land now only needs five silver coins for yours!" A squire shouted everywhere. In the past, he was the most proud and favorite of the beautiful manor worth three gold coins. Now the price has fallen below five silver coins.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

   "Oh my god! Damn it! Didn't Miss Fratt marry the Duke of the North! Why are we still attacked?"

   "Yes, that's right! Everything the lady does is just useless work!"

"It's not useless! In fact, she is scared herself! She is afraid of being taken away by this group of people! She is the one who annoys these lord masters on the battlefield! In order to avoid the disaster, she married the Duke of the North! Leave the disaster to us to bear. !"
