Chapter 101 Swiss Soldiers

There was not much peace in this disaster-stricken land in Switzerland. Not many years ago, the former Swiss Grand Duke was beaten by the Western Qin people.

It can be said that the local people are more brave than the civilians of any country, and this is also impossible. Survival of the fittest, and the laws of nature apply everywhere. Years of war have made many young and strong Swiss people more or less able to use combat skills to defend themselves or to work mercenaries when the weather is not good. Even those who do not know how to dance swords and swords have to turn to the mountains and rely on prey to make a living, rather than relying solely on crops in the farmland, hunting up the mountain will definitely be more effective than working in honesty.

But even so, it cannot be said that the newly recruited militia in Switzerland is higher than the militias of other countries. After all, measuring the combat effectiveness of a unit must not be compared separately with the combat effectiveness, discipline, and iron discipline of some soldiers are more important than anything else.

And this is exactly what the new troops lack the most, and cannot be obtained through training or training in a short period of time.

The number of Swiss militias was not too large or too small, with 5,000 people. They consumed a piece of the food and weapons reserved by the Western Qin tribe. The lieutenant counted that there are less than 15,000 troops in the Western Qin side, and the remaining food and grass are at least enough for twenty days, and at most one month. In other words, if the Burgundians cannot be defeated in less than one month, then no one else will be used to defeat the Western Qin army. The logistics supply of one side can defeat himself.

What is twenty days enough? In this era when it takes ten days and half a month to travel a distance, about twenty days is probably only enough for the Western Qin and Burgundians to organize and launch a battle.

Even though the Burgundy were stupid, they did not know that the Western Qin side had weak logistics, so they were also anxious to launch a decisive battle; even if the Burgundy were stupid, they would give the Swiss coalition a fighter when they had a great advantage, and Bai Zhou was not sure that the battle would be settled.

With a single battle, even at the level of battle, the coalition forces, the Western Qin Dynasty, the Germans, and the Wolfgang 5,000, totaling 40,000; the Burgundians were more than 70,000, and the Bai Zhou was not simply thinking that his side could defeat his opponent.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Burgundians to know the logistics status of the Western Qin people. After all, Alberto, the former marquis, still has some appeal in Switzerland. It is not surprising that Bai Zhou was mobilized to be a spy for the Burgundians. Of course, they would not know too much, because logistics has always been an important indicator of a country's national combat effectiveness and is a military secret. The Western Qin and the middle and senior commanders who know their own situation will definitely not tell the Burgundians this news.

However, from the recent actions of the Western Qin side, such as the act of purchasing food and grass from the Swiss people, it is not difficult to infer that the Western Qin was actually short of food and grass. Although they did not know how short they were, Bai Zhou knew that if he was the Duke of Burgundy, after learning this news, he would definitely not move his troops first and observe and detect the real situation of the Western Qin, and would never attack rashly.

At the same time, Xi Qin wanted to defeat his opponent's troops of more than 70,000 soldiers with a number of 40,000 soldiers, or if the army's combat effectiveness was not as high as the Burgundians, it would require more "cooperation" to complete this reversal? Isn't that Bo Zhou not unaware of who John the Burgundian Duke is? It is hard to imagine that the old man could make a stupid mistake that ordinary people could not make.

Now Baizhou has to consider whether it has begun to use some unconventional practices. For example, the Western Qin now purchases food from Swiss locals, and they are voluntarily buying and selling them, and the goods and money are cleared. If the battle with the Burgundians has been fought for a long time, Baizhou will not rule out the use of forced grain collection. Moreover, it will even let all the Western Qin tribes put aside the newly established urban prototype and become a nomadic people again, and fight with the Burgundians on the Swiss territory.

These are all solutions when there is no way. The side effects are more serious than the other, but the current situation is indeed urgent. Although these side effects are serious, they are not as unacceptable as the Xiqin side. In other words, if this cannot withstand the attack of the Burgundians, then any side effects will be nonsense.

Bai Zhou asked himself that he was a kind guy, but sometimes, insisting on being kind is persistent and hurting himself. He felt that he was not as great as he wanted to cut his flesh and feed the eagle.

After about a quarter of an hour, Bai Zhou and the other three or four secret guards came to the chaotic militia camp. Here, facing most of the Swiss who had just changed their identities, they were expecting them to know something, which would undoubtedly make them feel disturbed. Fortunately, Bai Zhou did not hope that they would be an iron army that dared to fight and would not fear blood and sacrifice. To put it bluntly, they just wanted them to shaking flags and shouting in the rear and then fighting a battle against the wind. Let them dare to fight against the wind? Bai Zhou has been considering this issue, but at present, there is still no clue in this regard.

After learning that Bai Zhou had arrived, Wei Fu immediately left the camp and greeted him at the door. Looking at the group of mobs under his command, Wei Fu was inevitably helpless. After all, he was a man who led troops all year round and could tell what a bad soldier was. Everyone knew the difficulty of this recruitment task, but Wei Fu was confident that he could not only recruit enough, but also began to train these new recruits during the recruitment period, so that they could at least know what military rules were, rewards were rewards, and punishments were made.

But in fact, it is not a little difficult to do. It is a very difficult thing for two different cultures to understand each other's meaning, not to mention that "ethnic minorities" command "ethnic minorities". In fact, if it were not for the fact that the military pay was far higher than usual, many civilians would not even look at this army recruited by "interracial people".

If we were to say it, this time, Weifu also did something smart. Originally, due to the food restrictions, he could only recruit another 5,000 people, which was far from comparable to the previous Western Qin Dynasty's idea. Therefore, Weifu simply greatly increased the price of military pay and strived to recruit 5,000 Swiss civilians with the best physical fitness. With just a few battles, they could transform into real elites.

As for this military pay that is far higher than usual, for Baizhou and Xiqin, as long as they can defeat the Burgundians, Xiqin will no longer worry about money in a short period of time. If they are defeated by the Burgundian army, then money will be of no significance, unless Baizhou will make up his attention now, roll up the Western Qin family's family, run to other countries, and prepare to be a rich man in peace and stability for the rest of his life.
