The 13th Cavalry Regiment of the Byzantine Empire, in addition to its official name, also had a special name "Vixiratio", which means "mighty knight" in the ancient Byzantine language.
In the Byzantine Empire, only the most successful cavalry units were eligible for this nickname.
And the 13th Cavalry Corps is indeed worthy of this glorious title.
In the military history of the Byzantine Empire, the 13th Cavalry Corps also has a prominent and glorious war history, and is a veritable ace elite army in the Byzantine Empire army.
Its predecessor is called the "Rhodria Cavalry Regiment", the history can be traced back to the Sixth Patriotic War of the Byzantine Empire two hundred years ago, when the then emperor of the empire, Auulus the Great, in order to quell the rebellion, recruited local knights from the fierce Rhodria region to form a cavalry regiment, and then made great achievements in the Great Patriotic War, in the southern and northern wars, quelled six rebellions, and repelled nine invasions of the Odins.
In the Sixth Great Patriotic War, this cavalry regiment set a record of all the armies of the Byzantine Empire since the founding of the Byzantine Empire: after sixty-four battles and not a single retreat, not a single unit of any Byzantine army could do it, not even the illustrious Imperial Guards.
At that time, the establishment of the Rhodria cavalry regiment was only 2,000 people, but these two thousand cavalry from the Rhodria region, the way of fighting was very special at that time, when they charged the cavalry, they were used to using a special four-meter-long riding spear, holding a large oval giant shield to protect themselves Only people from the Rhodria region, with excellent and strong physical fitness, can use this heavy weapon, they are not afraid of death when charging, never flinch.
It is worth mentioning that in the Great Patriotic War experienced by the Rodria cavalry regiment, they never retreated in sixty-four battles, of which thirteen were almost entirely wiped out and killed, but they still did not retreat A slogan of the Rodria cavalry regiment at that time used to change the color of all Byzantine soldiers "Go Forward, or Die" This is not a general slogan, this unit, from officers to soldiers, everyone has proved the truth of this slogan to the world with their blood and lives After experiencing a bloody baptism again and again, the soul of this army has become more and more tenacious, even if this cavalry regiment has been crippled and lost in the fierce battles again and again, but the subsequent rulers will not hesitate to rebuild it again and again, because even the most idiotic rulers understand how precious such an iron army baptized with blood is for the empire After the end of the Sixth Great Patriotic War, the Rhodría Cavalry Regiment was transformed from a temporary conscription into a regular unit, officially included in the regular army sequence of the Byzantine Empire, renamed the 13th Imperial Cavalry Corps, and expanded to 12,000 men, which continues to this day.
In the more than 200 years since the founding of the army, with the changes in the territory of the empire, the political situation, and the migration of ethnic groups, the former Rhodria region has become a sparsely populated barren land.
However, the 13th Cavalry Corps still retains the iron-blooded spirit of the most traditional Rhodrian cavalry regiment.
"Go Forward, or Die" For more than 200 years, this cavalry corps has been stationed in the southern part of the Empire, quelled the rebellion of the governor of the military district, resisted the invasion of nomads in the western frontier of the empire, and participated in the previous battles with the Odin Empire on the northern border.
Even in the face of the Berserker Divine Blessing Regiment of the Odin, the soldiers of the 13th Cavalry Regiment never took a step back.
As a result, the 13th Cavalry Regiment also set a record in the history of the Imperial Army: they were the army with the largest proportion of casualties in all battles, and at the same time, they were also the army that rebuilt the most times.
There is still a zero back-off record Of course, there is also the record that the soul of this army, as if infused with the fierce and aggressive nature of the Rhodrians two hundred years ago, this cavalry regiment has always been a thorn in the head of the imperial army, and its successive commanders have been figures similar to madmen or madmen.
Even if the imperial military occasionally sends some officers who the military considers to be "calm" and "sophisticated" to take charge of this army in order to restrain this army, the miraculous thing is that once those officers arrive in this army, they will soon be assimilated by this army, and no matter how calm and experienced people are, they will also become madmen.
On one occasion, the army sent a new commander to this cavalry regiment, and the young general was of noble origin, a well-known gentleman in the royal city, and he was elegant and extraordinary.
But as a result, after the nobleman arrived at the 13th Cavalry Corps, in less than three months, the first "feat" that made the military department look at was to lead a group of subordinates to burn down the friendly army's barracks in order to grab the allocated military funds, and without trial, he directly executed several corrupt logistics officers he identified.
Later, because of fights, brawls, short-term protection and other things, he repeatedly violated the imperial military law and became the number one madman with a headache in the military department.
The general, who later became a lieutenant general and served as governor of a military district of the empire, recalled his time as commander of the 13th Cavalry Corps and said: "As soon as you come to this unit, you will feel that its war spirit is everywhere, in this case, you only have two choices, either get out of the way, and become one of them, and I am lucky, I chose the latter."
Later, all the commanders who took over the 13th Cavalry Corps took the words of this predecessor as a motto.
And the 13th Cavalry Corps has never produced even a single obedient and honest general, and it will always be ranked first in the archives of the Imperial Judge Advocate General's Office Char left with General Adric and his party, and he took a trip back to his home, and General Adric left Kevin, who was competing with Char, to wait for him, and then took Char back to the barracks.
Char's baggage was very simple, he brought a bag of gold coins, and a piece of dragon skin was folded at the bottom of the bag, and several dragon scales were pressed on it.
Of course, the big killer fire fork was still inserted in his waist, ran to the back mountain to lead a horse, and explained two sentences to the goblin: Lao Tzu went to the army, and he was well taken care of at home.
Then he drifted away.
Along the way, that Kevin didn't show hostility towards Char, although the two had a big fight.
The guy took off the covered helmet, revealing a bare and shiny head, much to Char's amazement.
Kevin's birth is not ugly, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and straight, thick and powerful arms, but he has shaved his hair, and his huge and shiny head makes the whole person a little more hideous.
Char joined the army for the first time and seemed to be very curious about everything, and Kevin also explained some things to Char very seriously, especially made some brief introductions to the deeds of the 13th Cavalry Corps, with undisguised pride in his tone.
After hearing this, Char couldn't help but sigh: "It's too good to move forward, or die."
It's kind of fucking."
With such a temperament and such an age, he naturally admires heroes, and it is also the age when his blood is most likely to boil, and after listening to it, he can't help but yearn for it in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Kevin's bald head, and suddenly couldn't help but say, "That Kevin, why is your head?"
Kevin glanced at him, and said in a loud voice: "On the battlefield, it is easy to be injured by bows and arrows, and if you shave your hair, in case you are injured on your head or face, it is more convenient to bandage and apply medicine." ” Char listened and nodded.
But suddenly a lewd thought came to his heart: It's just that the head is easy to hurt, so what should I do on my body and thighs, if I am injured, I will shave all the hair in that place Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Kevin's place, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little sneaky:
