From the arrangements made by the ancestor of the Li family, John knew that Li Anjie had no chance to return to the battlefield.
But this has little to do with him.
What he cares about are the last few words of the ancestor of the Li family.
He knew very well who Li Anbang was.
Li Chenghai also said that Li Anbang's Class A division was a division that had just received full supplies and was now using the most advanced weapons.
Let such a division rush to the front line, with all the weapons and ammunition attached, and what needs to be done next is self-evident.
What made John even more excited was that he also got a job there.
After transporting supplies and joining the battlefield, it was already a certainty for John.
Baron Carter, who is good at seizing opportunities, spoke again: "Master Li, the Imperials have not destroyed all our weapons and ammunition, and I am worried that they will not give up.
Can I recruit more people to transport supplies this time?
Adjutant Misio, they are very good, I hope to get their help."
Not expecting to be able to independently command an army composed entirely of Imperials all at once, John took the initiative to ask Misio and others to monitor him.
Of course, the ancestor of the Li family would not continue to veto such a request.
He didn't ask John to escort the supplies on a whim.
From Li Anjie's successive defeats, he has understood the biggest problem of the Brilliant City army.
If you are too arrogant and look down on your enemies, thinking that your opponents are just a group of barbarians playing with swords and sticks, you will inevitably suffer losses.
But John was different.
He was beaten into a loser by Lorne and almost sold by Keira.
No matter who it is, Baron Carter will attract 120,000 attention.
Such people are most qualified for the task of escorting supplies.
The only problem was John's background.
Letting him lead the army of Brilliant City would definitely be a disaster.
Therefore, people like John can only select allies from the occupied areas to form their own army.
However, the combat effectiveness of such a unit is also a problem.
The ancestor of the Li family agreed with John to take Misio and others to select soldiers from the frontline alliance, and he also promised John.
"There should be a lot of flintlock Li guns here.
After you finish selecting the people, I will ask Cheng Hai to take out those weapons.
As long as you can use them skillfully, there will be no problem in dealing with the imperial soldiers."
What is a flintlock gun?
John is no longer the exiled nobleman who escaped from the North.
Not only does he know about it, he even got a percussion-type short gun.
With the flintlock gun, although it still cannot compare with the Li family's most advanced percussion-type Li family gun, it is definitely a good start.
If he could get some more artillery, John was confident that he would be able to send troops to attack the weak areas of the empire.
It's a pity that even with his friendship with Li Chenghai, a powerful weapon like artillery still cannot be handed over to an army like John who is not even a third-rate soldier.
But at least he did something for Li Chenghai.
With a stroke of his pen, the young master of the Li family not only gave John a five thousand troops equipped with flintlock guns, but also gave John hundreds of percussion guns to arm him with. own followers.
The number of people is not large, but the combat effectiveness is not weak.
Just like the ancestor of the Li family said, as long as it is used skillfully, this army can already defeat the miscellaneous army in Keira's hands.
However, Keira's miscellaneous army has now begun to change drastically.
The original defense line of Keira's organization was filled with private soldiers of various nobles.
Under the almost crazy reward of the lord, they are brave but disorganized.
In addition, Keira herself overly believed in the army of believers, but she did not know that they had exhausted their morale in the civil war.
In many cases, the defeat of these people caused a chain reaction.
In Sophia's hands, Keira's army of believers was naturally the first to be disbanded.
The reason, according to Lorne, was that they suddenly encountered a fighting method they didn't understand, and they were completely confused.

Keira did not give them a chance to adapt.
Even an iron army would not be able to withstand the continuous suicidal battles.
Of course, if they are reorganized, there will definitely be many reborn soldiers among such a battle-hardened ragtag group, but the problem is that these people are all followers of Keira.
Sophia would not allow the cathedral side to really regain control of the army.
Using Lorne's reasons, she persuaded Carmen to re-recruit soldiers and let them practice musketry.
But because Athena and others failed to complete the task perfectly, the heretics still left a lot of weapons and ammunition.
In order to prevent them from attacking, the task of filling up the Keira Church Army fell on Lorne.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to retrain the soldiers, this is a good opportunity for Lorne to take over the imperial capital.
Sophia had already told Lorne in detail when Carmen had just agreed.
The man not only sent additional troops to the first batch of reinforcements for Sophia, he was even preparing to lead them south himself.
Before the development of the weapon was completed, Lorne had advanced his plan.
Therefore, the entire northern territory is currently undergoing manufacturing work in full swing.
If there are no rear-mounted new weapons, it is not a big problem to use the front-loaded gun for a while.
It's just that the productivity of the North is just like this.
Even if it is a national action, when Lorne sets off, in addition to more than 20,000 reformers called the Forbidden Army, the army he leads is 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers drawn from various legions. .
Moreover, only half of the troops were equipped with firearms.
This ratio was achieved thanks to the capture in Morris Territory last time.
In recent times, what Lorne has been working hard to forge in the north is not muskets.
The cannon was the weapon he spent a lot of effort on.
The nearly fifty cannons were the result of Lorne gathering all the power in the north.
Although several craftsmen in Brilliant City said that some of them were not qualified, as long as they could fire cannons, Lorne would not care so much.
Anyway, in his opinion, the Li family, which had lost most of their baggage, could not attack.
If it was just defense, what he brought was enough.
What's more, including the previous batch of reinforcements sent to Sophia, they also have ten cannons and a lot of percussion guns produced in the north.
Even if Sophia mobilizes all the troops on the defense line for retraining, Lorne is confident that he can maintain the defense line again with the strength he has.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, the Li family will not provoke a big war.
There are only less than 100,000 troops.
If the Li family really devotes all its strength to the attack, then Luo En will have no choice but to retreat to the imperial capital.
Although it was impossible for the Li family to use all their troops to attack the imperial capital, what Luo En did not expect was that the ancestor of the Li family would personally lead the army to attack.
What was even worse was that at this time, he had not yet left the land of the north
