Chapter 63: Building a Team
Li Jing's words, Li Chengqian still has to listen carefully. Since Li Jing said that there is a gap between the prince's personal rate and the Xuanjia army, there must be.
Arching his hand, Li Chengqian humbly asked: "Dare to ask Duke Wei, what is this gap?" ”
Li Jing was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's humble attitude.
Motioning for Li Chengqian to sit beside him, and after he sat down, Li Jing said: "In addition to the individual quality of the soldiers and the quality of the weapons and armor of an army, there is another very important point, that is, the cohesion of this army, or the faith. ”
Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Chengqian was immediately surprised.
This is the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect that as early as this time, there was such a thought.
Li Jing didn't notice Li Chengqian's surprise, but continued: "Actually, there are many examples of the cohesion of the army in our Datang. Among the generals, Lu Guogong Cheng Biting Jin and Eguo Gongwei Chi Gong are both main generals full of fighting spirit. The left and right guards led by them have slowly become the super powerful army of the Tang Dynasty. The Xuanjia Army was formed by His Majesty himself, and in the war since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Xuanjia Army was dispatched, and it was bound to be invincible and invincible. Even if the battle is lost in the overall situation, the Xuanjia Army must have killed a thousand enemies, and the self-damage is weak. This has nothing to do with the equipment of the Xuanjia Army, what works is their belief in invincibility. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jing pointed to the soldiers in the training ground and said to Li Chengqian: "In comparison, these recruits of yours are still a little too immature. In the Xuanjia Army, they are all elite soldiers who have experienced great battles. You recruits who have never seen blood, if you want to compare with the Xuanjia Army, hehe, simple training will not work! ”
Li Chengqian nodded clearly: "What you mean is that in addition to training, you also want to let them go to the battlefield." ”
Looking at the sweaty soldiers in the training ground, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a little unbearable. Just because of the increase in combat power, do you have to send them to the battlefield? What should I do if it is damaged? His crown prince pro-rate, if the battle loss rate is famous, how can he recruit new soldiers?
As if seeing Li Chengqian's concerns, Li Jing said in a low voice: "For a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the real fate. Your Highness, don't say it's them, we, the top generals, every time we go on an expedition, don't we have to explain what happened after death in advance? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers have been strong and strong, and few high-ranking generals have died in battle. In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I could hear about the fall of an invincible general every few days! ”
Looking at the lonely Li Jing, Li Chengqian suddenly didn't know what to say.
In later generations, when he watched TV, he always fantasized that he could also experience the battlefield and turn the world upside down. However, fantasy is fantasy after all. In the real battlefield, how can there be so many one-sided situations? A few days ago, the Turks invaded the border, although Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong killed more than 10,000 of their soldiers and horses, but the death toll of the soldiers and civilians in Gaoling Jingyang was not announced.
In the case of equal combat power and not much difference in the strength of the ordnance, it is just like that sentence.
Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself!
In this era, the battlefield is synonymous with cruelty. Any woman's kindness, in this smoke-filled area, will only attract ridicule and merciless blows.
After changing his mentality, Li Chengqian couldn't help but straighten his spine.
Ever since he finished speaking, Li Jing has been staring at Li Chengqian's expression. Originally, he was afraid that Li Chengqian was too young to comprehend such a deep meaning. But seeing Li Chengqian's straight spine, Li Jing still smiled. This shows that Li Chengqian understands the cruelty of the battlefield, and at the same time strengthens his convictions.
Looking at the soldiers in the training ground who were training hard while smelling the aroma of meat and drooling, Li Chengqian spoke: "Duke Wei, Lone still can't watch them die, but if they are willing to fight, Lone can also eliminate the worries behind them for them." At least, they won't let their families die of starvation! ”
Li Jing smiled and said, "That's enough, what do you think the soldiers are fighting for?" Not to mention anything else, these two thousand people, if you can do it, let their families have no worries in the future. I'm sure they won't be ambiguous even if you order them to wipe their necks now! ”
"Don't talk about that."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and called Yu Tai over.
Let Yu Tai sit aside, Li Chengqian said to Li Jing: "Duke Wei, now the prince's personal rate is my real personal soldier, since Old Man Fang has no intention of letting the imperial court fund this army, then I will find an opportunity to erase the records of these soldiers in the military department." Yu Tai is the supreme commander of this team, and this rule cannot be changed. In addition, how to build a team is our own business. Do you have any thoughts on the distribution of the team? ”
Taking the paper and charcoal in Li Chengqian's hand, Li Jing drew a straight line on the paper, and then drew six branch lines.
After the painting was finished, Li Jing said: "Your Highness, in fact, one of the micro-ministers' family studies is the famous Eight Array Diagram. Moreover, according to the experience of leading troops over the years, Weichen deduced a formation on the basis of the eight formations. It's called 'Six Flowers'. The Six Flower Array, like the Eight Arrays, is both offensive and defensive, and unpredictable. If it is feasible, Weichen wants to thoroughly implement the training of the Six Flowers Array in the prince's own rate. After mastering the arrangement of this formation, the 2,000 soldiers led by the prince himself against 10,000 troops may not be defeated! ”
If it were other generals, they would definitely not be able to boast of such a sea port. The difference between two thousand and ten thousand is not five times, but eight thousand!
A person with high martial arts skills may not fail to fight five, but if two thousand fights ten thousand, if it is a normal situation, he will only be wiped out by low losses.
Li Chengqian arched his hand: "How to build a team, how to train, please rest assured that Wei Gong will act, Lone has no opinion!" ”
Li Jing nodded, and scribbled on the paper for a while.
After the painting, Li Jing said to Tai: "These two thousand soldiers are divided into sixty-six squads, each with thirty people. And these sixty-six squads were combined into six brigades, each with eleven squads. This kind of establishment is completely different from the normal establishment of our Datang, so the title of the position is also called by the team team! As for the twenty people who were left out, they served as the prince or your bodyguards on weekdays, and as heralds in wartime. ”
Yu Tai took the paper in Li Jing's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Duke Wei, this afternoon, the next official will complete the formation of the team!" ”
Seeing Yu Tai's confident appearance, Li Chengqian was very skeptical that he would be able to complete the task.
This is a fine division of 2,000 people, and these soldiers do not know each other absolutely, how can they be separated in such a short time?
