Chapter 5 Build a Divine Soldier 1
The next day, I met He Wuji in the camp and naturally talked about what happened last night.
I asked He Wuji what happened later. He said, "It's not like that. I sat at a table with amaranth, and my cousin Wanshou didn't have that kind of luck. However, he also asked other girls to accompany him. We didn't make a scene until nearly five more days later.
"Fortunately, it's in Wu County. If you are in Beijing, you won't be punished."
"It's also in Wu County, so it's rare to have such a pastime. If you are interested, can we go boating together tonight?
"Boat night? What's so interesting about the black light?
"I don't understand joining the army. It's the black light that has a different artistic conception.
"So it is."
"That's it. I'll go after dinner."
"You'd better go, and I'll avoid it. I drank a lot of wine last night and blew some wind when I went out. It seemed to be stained with the wind.
He Wuji's eyes widened and said, "This is too exaggerated. Are you so physique that if you drink some wine and blow some wind, you can stain the wind?
"I don't know if it's infected, but I have a vague headache. Besides, I'm not as interested as you. I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I have to go out for a night tonight.
"Listening to what you said, it seems that I am muddle-headed and unmotivated.
"I didn't mean that. However, you came just in time. If you have nothing to do, you might as well talk about it in my account.
The so-called military tent is actually a room. This area in the city belongs to the military camp. In addition to the generals, Sima, Changshi, joining the army, and the governors have separate rooms as places to deal with military affairs. The only difference is the size and size of the room.
I want to talk to He Wuji about military affairs.
Because I am now appointed as the battalion commander, I have been given full authority to deal with the establishment, unification and other military governance in the army. Therefore, in addition to asking Liu Laozhi for instructions, I also want to ask Sima and the following military officials for advice.
I invited He Wuji to sit on the ground together and said, "Although the army is stationed in Wu County now, after all, there are not as many arms and soldiers available as the Jingkou camp. I don't need to worry about whether I can guard Wu County, but I need to think about how to guard the bases and important places along the coast.
He Wuji said, "That's true."
"In addition, although the soldiers in Beifu have no strict rank, the boundaries between the arms are very clear. Infantry, cavalry and archers are in their respective battalions. The infantry is divided into knife battalions, gun battalions and halberd battalions, cavalry is divided into light cavalry battalions and heavy cavalry battalions, and archers are divided into bow battalions and crossbow battalions. There is no connection between the battalions. Only when practicing the formation will the soldiers of the battalions gather together.
But there are almost no barracks practicing together in Wu County. Normally, the garrison in Wu County does not have as many arms as in the Jingkou battalion, but the three battalions of Bu, Qi and Bow are separated, which is also more convenient to practice than Jingkou. But since I came to Wu County, I have practiced my own, and I don't have it.
I nodded and said, "When I watched the battle in Wujun City that day, I had seen the power of the three battalions of General Xie and Liu. The close cooperation of the three battalions has a decisive impact on the battle situation. The joint training of the three battalions is indeed an important matter, but when the battalions practice alone, they should also combine attack and defense.
"That's true."
"When Shanghai was ambushed by Sun En, it was caught in the independent battle of each battalion. The second battalion of infantry and cavalry was fine, but the arch battalion was severely damaged. This is because the bow battalion only focuses on long-range attacks and does not pay attention to close combat. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
He Wuji smiled and said, "I just made a mistake that day. It should be said that God doesn't want to damage our army.
When several soldiers saw He Wuji coming, they guessed that he would come to tell jokes again. People stood outside the door but put their heads in from time to time.
I waved my hand at them and asked them to retreat.
He Wuji saw my gesture and also noticed the soldiers outside the door. He shouted to them, "There is no topic to talk about today. Let's make a special trip to tell jokes next time."
One of the soldiers answered from afar: "He joined the army and said yes. Come back next time and make tea for you.
Hearing this, I rushed out of the door and asked, "What good tea do you have hidden?" If you don't give it to me, I will make a special trip to filial piety and join the army.
He Wuji smiled and said, "It's none of my business."
After laughing, we will continue to get to business.
He Wuji asked me, "In the opinion of Liu's participation in the army, how should Wu Jun's soldiers practice?"
So I talked to He Wuji about my thoughts. First of all, I analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of various arms to him.
The three battalions of step, riding and bow against the enemy alone will encounter disadvantages:
The cavalry is mobile, but it cannot exert its combat power in the mountains and jungles.
Infantry is suitable for all-day combat, but it is not mobile and difficult to mobilize. Moreover, the strength of infantry alone is not strong. Knife soldiers and sword soldiers cannot resist the attack of long weapons, while long knives, gunmen and halber soldiers are also limited in close combat.
The archers are suitable for long-range attacks, and the attack power of melee can't be used. Moreover, the archers' defense is very weak. Once the enemy attacks, it is difficult to fight with the sword and bow in their hands alone.
In order to make all arms cooperate properly, they should not only be organized into mixed battalions when they go into battle, but also break the boundaries of each battalion at ordinary times. A mixed battalion composed of various arms can be set up as the main force in the battle. Once the number of soldiers of the battalion is damaged, it will be transferred from the battalions of horses, steps, bows and other arms. The mixed battalion specializes in expeditions, while other battalions train alternate battalions and are responsible for logistics, robbing grain roads, and carrying out surprise attacks.
In the last positional battle outside Wujun, although the assault of our cavalry caused a powerful blow to Sun En's army, it was a fluke. The cavalry has strong assault power, but it is vulnerable to the threat of arrows. Fortunately, there were only scattered archers in Sun En's army at that time, and they did not form an arch and arrow camp. Otherwise, there would have been many cavalry bodies under Chen Wu County that day.
"Mixed battalions of various arms?" He Wuji muttered several times, and then said, "In fact, several armies, including the Jiankang garrison, are all mixed battalions, but their combat strength is not as good as Beifu."
"Hmm. That's true. The reason is that it is not as good as Beifu. There are two reasons: first, those armies rarely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and lack actual combat experience; second, their mixed battalions are just equipped with various arms in one battalion and have not played a mixed effect.
"In this way, this is indeed the case. What are your specific thoughts on joining the army?
"I have only walked around the battalions in Wu County these days. After all, I lack practical experience, so I just talk about the establishment of the barracks on paper. This matter still needs to be discussed with General Daojian.
"Well, judging from what you told me, I think the general will definitely take your advice. After all, since the failure of Shanghai's blaspence that day, the general has been worried. This time, Sun En was mistakenly ambushed because of negligence, and it is inevitable that the same thing will not happen again in the future.
