As winter turns to spring, the snow melts and the weather gradually warms up. The conscription of the city defense battalion is also in full swing.

In the past month, more than 10,000 soldiers have been recruited in the city defense battalion, and I have to say that Wang Xuan really has his own set of methods for recruitment.

In addition to recruiting troops in Shangjing, he also set up eight recruitment points around Shangjing.

This time, the city defense battalion suppressed the bandits in Huotou Mountain, and its reputation was greatly enhanced, and with Kuang Hua's approval, this recruitment was surprisingly smooth, and each recruitment point was basically full every day.

However, Wang Xuan was very strict in his selection, and fixed the number of conscripts at about 15,000.

Han Ming's idea for Wang Xuan was to first complete the expansion of the three major battalions, and then start the expansion of the fourth battalion in the second round of recruitment.

On the one hand, this was due to the consideration of the army's combat strength, and on the other hand, Han Ming could not find a suitable general. It also takes a process to promote people directly from below, he has only been in the city defense battalion for less than a year, and it seems too hasty to raise a battalion commander coldly, and he doesn't know much about the generals.

This time the training of recruits in the city defense battalion, Han Ming was also handed over to Wang Xuan for training.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuan's reputation among the soldiers will definitely be greatly improved, and he can be regarded as the number one person in front of the various battalion generals.

The current king bolt can be said to be under one person and above the whole camp in the city defense camp. Of course, this is also what Han Mingle has seen. As the first person to support him, Wang Xuan offended many people in order to carry out Han Ming's military orders at the beginning. His current status is all he deserves.

This time for recruit training, Han Ming began to change his approach. The battle of Huotou Mountain made him understand a lot.

The first is this tactic, as an earthling, every time he sees the military tactics of the military channel, Han Ming always wants to bring these into this world.

However, after experiencing the battle of Huotou Mountain, Han Ming discovered that the war of cold weapons and the war of firearms were completely different.

The cold blade, the information transmitted on two legs, makes the war more protracted and cruel.

He is well aware of the importance of information in war, just as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and knowing the movement of the battlefield and the surrounding terrain is very important.

Therefore, he asked Han Yu to prepare the "Dark Night" battalion, an ancient special forces unit dedicated to spying on intelligence, surveying the terrain, and carrying out special tasks.

This unit will be personally guided by Han Ming, although he has not been in the special forces, but he is also quite good at special training, coupled with his own analysis and understanding, it is not a big problem, and these are just the first steps he has done.

The second step is to start with the training of recruits and slowly teach the soldiers how to fight in large regiments.

Large corps operations, that is, cooperation between multiple arms. Now the troops are mainly divided into cavalry, infantry, marksmen. Although there are many arms, there is no cooperation, it is just a routine, that is, the shooter covers the kill, the infantry is trapped, and finally the cavalry is finished.

If an army is dominated by heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry is used to break through first, and then the archers cover the infantry attack, and the coordination between the various arms is basically limited to this.

However, Han Ming had another idea. That is, the subdivision of multiple arms, the cooperation between each branch, and then the various formations, the role of each branch of the army is maximized. He was going to use battalions as units, and each battalion had to learn to use different tactics at different times.

Before that, these recruits had to be proficient in the use of swords and shields, and each battalion had to be equipped with 5,000 swords and shields. It is supplemented by a mandarin duck array. Every six people are a team, with three halberders in the middle, one sword and shield on each side, to protect the flanks, and a crossbowman behind the halberd soldiers to help when the opportunity arises. Each team is formed in the form of a front and back cross, and the six squads form a large formation.

This steady and steady way was tailor-made by Han Ming for the Thunderbolt Battalion.

The Thunderbolt Battalion is Zhao Ming's troops, he lacks cavalry, this set of multi-infantry, shooters with a combination of formation, just right for the Thunderbolt Battalion, and Zhao Ming's character is also steady and steady, this formation is just right for him.

Zhang Dabiao's fire camp, Han Ming did not deliberately make adjustments. Instead, a small number of 3,000 cavalry were placed in the Agni Battalion, and a sharp arrow formation was specially trained, with cavalry as arrows, infantry behind the cavalry, and infantry with pikemen and sword and shield soldiers on both wings. Presumably, this army was like a fire on the battlefield, sweeping towards the enemy.

As for Xu Hua, his troops were mainly based on shooters, and when Han Ming first found out, he was taken aback.

Others thought that Xu Slip's troops had too many archers and were easy to be broken through by the heavy infantry, but Han Ming knew that the large number of shooters was exactly the advantage that Xu Slip's Swift Wind Battalion had.

He specially designed a set of shooter-based formations for Xu Slip. The shooters are deployed in a large area, lined up in four layers, interacting in pairs, with two layers of spearmen as a barrier in front, rangers on both wings, and sword and shield soldiers on the side, which can not only support the spearmen, but also defend behind at any time. Maximizes the safety of the shooter and maximizes the output of the shooter.

Han Ming believed that such a troop configuration would be difficult for the enemy to parry when it came to the real battlefield.

The three battalions that have been retrained and configured are the real fire, wind, and thunder, and if these three battalions are combined, they will respond to that sentence, their speed is like the wind, their Xu is like a forest, their aggression is like fire, and they are difficult to know like yin.

When Han Ming explained these tactical configurations to several battalion generals, several battalion generals felt that they were very good, and they preferred this tailor-made battle formation method rather than the same formation.

However, the change of formation requires them to digest it slowly before they can understand it.

What Han Ming just said, although it is easy to understand, is flexible, and tactical thinking needs to keep up closely, only in this way can we apply what we have learned and not fall into the form.

"Commander, how did you come up with that, why have I never heard of this?" Zhang Dabiao touched the back of his head and asked, if you want to talk about formations, he will also do it, but if it is a change of formation on the spot, he still doesn't understand it.

"You big boss, do you think you can compare to the idea of a leader? I think this is our leader. Xu Hua praised two sentences inappropriately.

Han Ming listened to what they said, smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not as godly as you say. Even if I don't say it, someone will figure it out later. I'm just standing on the shoulders of those who came before me and borrowing some of them. ”

"The commander is humble, the commander has never heard of this tactic, it can only be said that the commander you are a genius of the sky, and it is really fortunate that the city defense battalion can have a commander. Xu Hua gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

Looking at Xu Hua's actions, Zhang Dabiao was a little disdainful on the side.
