Chapter 190: General Dialogue 4
"I want to know what the Military Academy and the Swordsman Academy teach, I think it will have a lot of benefits for the military reform of the empire, such as the formation of light cavalry units, and I don't know who the scout cavalry you mentioned is selected from?" Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, he also realized that Louis I, the traverser, was very irresponsible to take the high-end route, cutting off the middle and tail, and he did this, but gave himself a big stage, and he wanted to gain a firm foothold in this world, of course, he can stand firm as an earl now, but if he wants to get ahead, this is a great opportunity.
As soon as Deng Huade heard about the formation of a light cavalry unit, his eyes lit up, in fact, he also felt that it was necessary to move with the military system now, but he hadn't learned it well for a while, but Yu Wuming said that he also thought that it was necessary to change from the cavalry.
He didn't care that Yu Wuming knew about the operation of these academies, especially whether some of the more confidential things were proper or not, he came to a bamboo bucket to pour beans, and he didn't have any reservations.
Yu Wuming listened to it and had to say, this swordsman academy is really a hodgepodge, it really teaches everything, it really does not teach class, here is not only to teach swordsmen, but also to teach thieves, teach archers, etc., in addition to magicians and priests, it can be said that as long as the profession is related to war, the swordsman academy is taught, and it is really a place to train squad leaders.
The military academy mainly teaches the organization and command of war, and at the same time, it will also teach some knight skills, and there are generally one or two affiliated swordsman academies under the military academy, and there are two affiliated academies under the Kacheng Academy, however, it is not in Kacheng, where more than half of the non-commissioned officers and students are sent to the school every year to study, and his apprentice Robert is from the subordinate swordsman academy.
Yu Wuming said to Deng Huade: "Dean Deng Huade, I think we should start from these aspects, one is to strengthen the training of archers, make archers independent, and no longer attach them to heavy infantry, but become an independent military branch.
On the other hand, they can't give up the thinner warriors, equip them with light armor, they will provide cover for the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, their weapons are mainly long swords, infantry combat knives and crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows direct attack is about 100 steps, if you carry out projectiles, it can even reach about 200 steps, ask, is there a crossbow arrow course in the academy?"
"Yes, crossbow arrows are a compulsory course for all thieves, one of the main uses of thieves is reconnaissance, and the thief's self-defense weapon is a dagger, and the other is a crossbow arrow. Archers generally do not train crossbow arrows. Deng Huade said.
"All arms must be trained in crossbow arrows, not only scouts, infantry, cavalry, especially cavalry, they had better train to use large crossbow arrows, generally bows and arrows can be shot from the back to 150 paces away, if steel arrows are used, on the charging infantry, Cavalry can be very effective in suppressing shooting, and within 100 steps, the lethality of the crossbow arrow is much more powerful than the bow and arrow, and the effect is much more shocking, so the long-range suppression with the bow and arrow, the short-range kill with the crossbow arrow, the long-range by the professional archers, the short-range is responsible for the light infantry, the enemy will be bloodied between 200 and 50 steps, and after entering 50 steps, the heavy infantry will be responsible for strangling the remaining enemy heavy infantry, and the role of the heavy cavalry is to hedge with the enemy heavy cavalry. ”
"Makes sense, but how to set up the formation, I didn't hear you say just now where is the location of the heavy cavalry?"
"We can place the heavy cavalry in the center of the formation, or flexibly arrange the heavy cavalry according to the enemy's arrangement, the two flanks of the heavy cavalry are the heavy infantry, the heavy infantry appears as the main means of defense in the center, and when the heavy cavalry attacks, the heavy infantry fills the gap in the heavy cavalry. ”
Deng Huade nodded, he stood up and took out a chess box from a drawer of the method table, and set up a military formation on the coffee table in front of Yu Wuming, but among these models, there were only heavy steps and heavy horses, he marked some of the heavy steps and heavy horses, and then put them in the corresponding positions according to Yu Wuming's statement, and after he was roughly arranged, he asked Yu Wuming: "Where are the light infantry?"
Yu Wusheng had already roughly seen his mark, he picked up a piece that represented light infantry, placed the piece next to the heavy step, and then, he marked more heavy step pieces and extended them to both sides.
"This light infantry is too much, isn't it?" Deng Hua was puzzled.
"Light infantry is the main body of the war in the future, the position of the heavy infantry is on defense, the Chinese army will be surrounded by heavy infantry, and the work of charging into battle is handed over to the heavy cavalry, so the number of heavy cavalry does not need to be very much, but it must be elite, after the heavy cavalry tears through the enemy formation, the light infantry follows up and expands the result, so the light infantry must be more, and the number of light infantry in a legion must even reach half or two-thirds. ”
Deng Huade nodded, picked up another chess piece, this chess piece he had not placed just now, he held the chess piece for a long time without putting it down, and finally asked: "Where is this archer?"
Yu Wuming took the chess piece, put it behind the heavy cavalry, and then said: "The archers will be the least defensive on the battlefield in the future, because their role is only one, hiding behind a whole army formation to tilt the rain of arrows to the enemy, they only have basic infantry armament and bows and arrows, and other defenses can be dispensed with." ”
"This class is too ......" Deng Huade really didn't know how to describe it, this class was too unbalanced.
"This is a purely offensive class, and its value is to kill and damage the enemy as far as possible, regardless of other combat missions. Yu Wuming said.
Deng Huade frowned for a while and did not speak, the tradition is still deeply rooted in the bones of these old soldiers, regardless of whether his thinking is advanced or not.
Yu Wuming saw that Deng Huade was pondering, he interrupted the old general's thoughts, and continued: "This question can be thought about slowly by the old general in the future, and I will take the lead in my army to try this kind of troop allocation, you can take a look first." ”
Deng Huade nodded, and Yu Wuming said: "Actually, you can first train the students as I said, organize them into a mercenary group that has all arms, train the team through the tasks taken by the mercenary group, and closely cooperate with each other, and then recommend these combinations of arms to the imperial side."
Generally speaking, the mercenary group is a small army, the epitome of this army can well reflect the importance and rationality of the cooperation between the arms, and it is also possible to find the defects of various combinations through this exercise, and can make targeted treatment of unreasonable places, as long as there are a few knowledgeable people in the empire, you can see how suitable this cooperation is for the development of the army. ”
"We do have a few mercenary groups in our military academy, but our mercenary group is too low in personal level to take on high-level tasks, and low-level tasks don't have much training value at all, right?!" Deng Huade wondered.
"Cooperation, I have been emphasizing cooperation, a low-level team that can skillfully cooperate will definitely be able to defeat a high-level team that is 2 levels higher than itself and does not cooperate. There are people in a team who are responsible for attacking, some are responsible for defense, some are responsible for adding status, and some are responsible for recovery, oh, speaking of which, you can also attract those students next door, and the magician can also play a role in the mercenary group, even if the guy is bad, as long as he is in the right position, in the team combination, his role will be multiplied.
If you know how to cooperate with each other and can use the most reasonable skills at the most reasonable time, you can apply many low-level skills to the same enemy to achieve continuous strikes, how long do you say a person can withstand continuous blows?
Therefore, we want to build a team with efficient cooperation, we are lucky to complete a task that is two levels higher than ourselves, and after completing more than ten, it is strength, and then we will inevitably be noticed by people who are interested, and this is when we recommend our class coordination theory to the upper echelons of the empire.
At this time, we can also recommend the development of the theory of light cavalry, because we already have a successful theory of infantry cooperation, and these people have also seen the results, they will believe in us, and they will give us financial investment, and then we can buy a large number of horses for training, and then we can recruit students among thieves and lighter swordsmen, and it would be better if we trained both swordsmen and thieves like Robert. Yu Wuming talked eloquently, but when he said this, Yu Wuming suddenly stopped.
Deng Huade was listening happily, and suddenly Yu Wuxing stopped, his face fell thoughtful, and he scratched his ears and cheeks a little anxiously, but when he saw Yu Wuming frowning, he didn't dare to disturb casually, and after more than five minutes, seeing that Yu Wuming threw it without reflection, Deng Huade finally couldn't help it, patted Yu Wuxing and said: " Why don't you say it, what you said is really good, I think it's very feasible, I'm going to practice first according to your plan, but you haven't finished talking about this light cavalry plan, don't let me wait, just say it at once, and I'm also down-to-earth. ”
"No, I suddenly realized that I don't need to use my strength in the mercenary group, I have my own army, I just need to combine my army according to my concept in this war, can't I let the imperial higher-ups see it!" Yu Wuming said.
"That's not good, you have to find a way out for my mercenary group!" Deng Hua had to catch Yu Wusheng immediately, and he couldn't let him go: "Tell me how to use the light cavalry, after I finish speaking, I'll open all these troop classes, and form a few combinations first!"
"Ah, no, I suddenly remembered, I don't know much about the composition and operation of the scout cavalry, I was just thinking back to the brief history of the development of the mainland that I had read, to see if there was any record of this aspect, but I was too engrossed, I'm really sorry for Dean Deng Huade. Yu Wuming immediately looked at him left and right, and it seemed that he was ready to hide his secrets.
"It's okay, but if you want to talk about this scout cavalry, you can just ask me directly, I still know these scout cavalry very well. Deng Hua glanced at Yu Wusheng reproachfully, and wanted to slip away? That was impossible, and regardless of whether Yu Wusheng really didn't know or falsely didn't know, he immediately said: "Scout cavalry is generally selected from ordinary soldiers, soldiers who used to ride horses, teach them some simple reconnaissance methods, and then send them out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, these scout cavalry horses are all horses eliminated by heavy knights."
These horses can't bear the weight, the sprint is okay, go out and be discovered, and it's not so distressing to be killed, but the ability of these scout cavalry is not very good, only one or two days before the start of the war, let them out, reconnoiter the enemy's direction of travel, how many are there, and so on and so on The reconnaissance project is not too difficult, the detailed reconnaissance project is all for thieves to reconnoitre, but thieves can only do short-distance reconnaissance when they go to reconnoitre, if it is too far, this information is not easy to evacuate. ”
"No, why are the scouts in the Guards all selected from the elite?" Yu Wuming asked.
"That's a scout, not a scout, although a scout also does scout work, but the two are different!" Deng Huade looked at Yu Wusheng with contempt.
Yes, it turns out that I have always been mistaken, and it turns out that in this world, the scout cavalry and the scout cavalry are fundamentally two different things.
Yu Wuming thought for a while and said: "These scout cavalry can be withdrawn, and the work of scouts can be handed over to the light cavalry to complete in the future, which is why I want to recruit light cavalry among thieves, as well as light cavalry horses, you can't use heavy cavalry to eliminate the horses, heavy cavalry horses should highlight the weight, although the endurance is good, but not fast, and the light cavalry horses should highlight the ability to run long distances, and they must have good endurance and a certain speed of horses." In the future, thieves can go out to reconnoiter and reconnoiter farther away, without worrying about the problem that the information cannot be sent back in time. ”
