Chapter 306: Skeleton Cavalry Regiment (Subscribe!)
"Thousands of horses?"
Bruno pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "I plan to draw elite riders from the army and reserve soldiers in Idar County to form a cavalry corps with a tentative number of 500 people. As for the name... let's call it the Skeleton Cavalry Regiment."
Anyway, this is a different world, and no one is calling it plagiarism, so...
Bruno hoped that the cavalry led by Idar could also become like the Prussian 5th Skeleton Hussar Regiment, moving quickly, outflanking and attacking, and becoming a quick-response force capable of harvesting and pursuing on the battlefield.
That's right.
After some consideration, Bruno finally put aside the idea of forming a pure heavy cavalry.
After all, on the battlefield, the army of the Principality of Idar has an extremely obvious disadvantage - mobility.
The disadvantages of heavy cavalry also lie in their mobility and flexibility.
Although the magic cannon is extremely powerful, it moves slowly.
Although Idar soldiers train hard and are able to obey orders, they can only move on their own two legs.
In previous wars, the Idar people's martial virtue was indeed abundant, but when they faced Odin's cavalry head-on, they were still at a disadvantage most of the time.
Now Bruno hopes to make up for the lack of mobility of Idar soldiers by forming a cavalry corps.
At least before the emergence of tanks, armored vehicles and the like, the Idar Territory had to rely on cavalry to achieve rapid maneuvers on the battlefield for a long time.
As the name suggests, the main combat force of the original Prussian 5th Hussar Regiment was the Hussars.
But the Skeleton Cavalry Regiment that Bruno wanted to form was, in a sense, more like a combination of late cuirassiers and hussars, and closer to the category of light cavalry.
In Bruno's vision, this cavalry would be freed of all unnecessary burdens.
The helmets will be replaced with wide-brimmed hats, and the weapons of the cavalry will be Idar standard sabers and magic rifles specially prepared for cavalry. As for the shiny breastplate...
If there is a military parade or a guard of honor one day, they will definitely be used! "Cavalry?"
Sam Layton was stunned.
"Sarah Coren's family is a family of knights. I plan to let him lead the Skeleton Cavalry Regiment. You must cooperate with him at that time." Bruno said in a deep voice.
"I understand!"
Sam Layton paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It's just that... there is one more thing... I don't know whether I should..."
"Speak," Bruno said bluntly.
"…It's about Dean Doug Bataloff and Counselor Patsy."
"ha?"
Bruno looked a little confused.
Who are these two guys?
No impression!
"Dean Doug Batalov was the director of Idar Maternity Hospital and Dean of Idar Medical College appointed by you personally. As for the mage named Patsy... she was Dr. Doug's student, and you personally approved her at the time." Sam Layton reminded.
"Oh! The two of them!" Bruno suddenly realized.
"Why? I remember when we were fighting the Odins a few days ago... they seemed to have volunteered to go to the front line to treat the wounded?"
"That's right!" Sam Layton nodded quickly: "That's it!"
"Any questions?"
"After the war, some soldiers discovered that they... they always sneaked into the camp where Odin's captives were held in the middle of the night, and then... not only did they dig up graves, they also disemboweled some of Odin's dead soldiers..."
Hearing this,
Bruno immediately understood.
In fact, Bruno had doubts as early as when Doug Batalov volunteered to go to the front line.
Because there is actually a military doctor accompanying Idar's army.
With the opening of Idar Medical College, a large number of Idar grassroots civil servants and logistics soldiers were required to study the Idar version of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual". Doctors also began to try to abandon the commonly used bloodletting therapy and instead choose the methods taught by Idar Medical College to treat injuries and illnesses.
Under Bruno's instruction, the Idar Army had already built a simple wartime medical system.
So when faced with possible casualties in a war, whether Dr. Doug Bataloff goes or not doesn't actually make much difference.
And now, Dr. Doug Bataloff's real purpose can be guessed.
He was clearly taking advantage of the war to conduct human dissection experiments! Bruno once told him that if he wanted to increase the success rate of the operation, he must understand the various structures of the human body and the role of various organs in maintaining human functions.
It was obvious that Dr. Doug remembered what Bruno had said before.
Too,
In peacetime, even for Dr. Doug Bataloff, a friend of women, it would still be unacceptable for him to rashly use the bodies of civilians for anatomical experiments.
This will undoubtedly cause the newly developed medical industry to be resisted by the public.
so……
For Dr. Doug Bataloff, the front lines of war were undoubtedly the perfect place for experiments.
The large number of Odin soldiers who were killed or wounded can definitely allow Doctor Doug to do whatever he wants.
"How many people know about this?" Bruno said calmly.
"Well... not many people knew about this. When the soldiers on guard duty reported it to me, I issued a gag order on them, citing the secret mission of the Idar CIA as an excuse."
"Well done. If we encounter such a thing again, we will blame it all on the Idar CIA." Hearing this, Bruno nodded.
"You mean..." Sam Layton asked tentatively.
"Where are the people now?"
"Still in the north, probably still digging up Odin's corpses." Sam Layton's mouth twitched slightly.
"Remember, you never knew about this, and you never met Dr. Doug Bataloff in the North."
Sam Layton was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded.
"I understand."
Bruno certainly felt that Doug Batalov's behavior was inappropriate. Although according to Samuel Layton, those buried there were all Odin barbarians, but... this guy was digging graves after all!
Bruno couldn't help but feel moved when he thought about how Dr. Doug Batalov, who trembled all over even when castrating a pig, now dared to dig a grave.
really,
The exploration of medicine and truth is enough to erase the fear in one's heart.
"Someone, tell Claire to send someone to the north to keep an eye on it. Don't let Doctor Doug make too much noise!"
Actually, according to the author's original idea, after a while, the heavy cavalry will be used to abuse the Norman Empire's light cavalry, and then the nobles will place orders to Idal to follow suit and form heavy cavalry, and then Bruno will return to the path of light cavalry. However, I tried to mention it yesterday, and saw that everyone had a lot of opinions about heavy cavalry, so I skipped this part. The Alhambra Palace and a large part of the plot need to be readjusted. Today's update is a bit late, please forgive me, there is still one chapter, probably after midnight.
