Chapter 137: Finally a Great Commander
The county seat of Zhushan.
Qin Yu didn't know that Xiong Wencan had already rushed to Fang County to supervise the battle.
In the past few days, while collecting the guards, and asking the carpenters to build siege ladders and rudimentary trebuchets, it can be said that they have made sufficient preparations.
As a modern person, he used to disdain to create these old antique things, thinking that it was too troublesome and too much to lose the value of his traveler.
But at this moment, watching the trebuchets throwing more than ten pounds of stones into the city and smashing them on the city, I feel that this thing is troublesome to build, but it is also very easy to use.
And those ladders are even more powerful weapons for attacking the city, which are a hundred times better than simple wooden ladders, but they are only ten, and the other party will be almost unstoppable.
Compared with the wooden ladder at the head of the city, the defenders use a pole to prop up, or push to the left and right, not only the people on it will fall down, fall to death and be injured, but also kill a large area, and the ladder is much safer.
It can't be pushed at all, and there is no other way than to throw oil cans to burn.
The two-zhang high city wall and ten ladders were directly made into a slope, and waves of heroes rushed up with shields, which was a huge threat.
There are no famous generals in the city, and there are no elite soldiers, and the means of defense can only be poked with guns except for throwing wood and stones and pouring dung.
But these methods, used to deal with the rabble without professional siege equipment, are still effective, but in front of the ladder, it seems a little powerless.
Even if the landlords and gentry took out their wives and concubines and daughters to reward, after more and more thieves were killed in the city, the young and strong people of the arrest and temporary organizations collapsed one after another, and the family and the nursing home did not last long.
There are just too many people.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Quanzhi County thought of the treatment of the governor, and jumped off the city with a jump, wanting to fall to his death and beg for pleasure, but forgot that the city wall was only two feet high.
As a result, he smashed on a corpse, screamed and was chopped into pulp by the crowd that rushed up.
"Qin Tie, you take the personal guards and the young fire team to the city to maintain order, whoever dares to burn, kill, and smash will be punished on the spot!"
"Yes, Chief!"
……
After Qin Tie led the young man to the city, it was indeed as expected by King Qin.
The military households who came in first were already red-eyed.
When you see a man, you kill it, you rob a woman, and you burn a house when you see it.
It's even crazier than those old thieves.
Qin Tie and the others killed more than 300 people, from Dongcheng to Xicheng, before those military households calmed down and began to put out the fire.
And after the county seat of Zhushan was captured, the stone in Qin Yu's heart finally fell, firstly, there was not much gunpowder, and the sulfur in the city's medicine shop was urgently needed.
Second, once the officials and troops of Fang County are killed, if they have not captured Zhushan County, they can only flee.
Now he can deal with them wholeheartedly, but if he can't fight in the field, he won't believe that tens of thousands of people can't hold it according to the mountain pass.
He wouldn't be stupid to learn from the governor of Yunyang, and put the officials and soldiers in an open place near the county seat to fight to the death.
It was only a night of carnival, and Qin Yu began to reorganize his troops and prepare to deal with Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming's army.
There are still more than 10,000 people left in the military household, and the more than 5,000-year-old ones have been selected to set up an engineer battalion to build weapons and firearms and make armor for the army in the future.
In fact, these 5,000 people are not very old, and if they are in other armies, they are definitely the backbone of carrying knives and guns.
But Qin Yu felt that these people no longer had sharpness and enthusiasm, it might be perennial oppression, and they had already honed their hearts and were timid and cautious, and they were not suitable to be a soldier at all.
In the end, you can only become a veteran oiler, so it is better to use it as a logistics class, which is more appropriate.
And the ones who are really suitable to be soldiers are the young men who are more than 1,000 years old and under 20 years old and over 17 years old.
These people can not only bear hardships and stand hard work, but also full of vitality, a few words can provoke them to cut and kill regardless of life and death, so they are all assigned to Qin Tie to form a personal guard battalion.
These young men not only had to be equipped with waist swords, sabers and short firearms, but also learned to ride horses, more than 500 Mongolian horses, one for two for the time being.
The remaining more than 3,000 middle-aged military households, as well as more than 2,000 young men brought over from Baokang, and 700 veterans of the Ox and Tiger Teams, were completely mixed into three infantry battalions.
Each battalion has 2,000 men, and temporarily has four teams, each team has five hundred, each has ten tithes, and one tithe has two corps, excluding officers at all levels, a total of 500 sword and shield soldiers, 500 archers, and 1,000 pikemen.
The commander of the first battalion was Liu Hu.
The second battalion commanded Wang Da Niu.
The commander of the third battalion, Zhang Yunpeng.
The officers of the three infantry battalions and veterans of the Ox and Tiger teams also accounted for only half of them, and the other half were selected from military households.
Moreover, in each battalion, Qin Yu also selected ten veteran teenagers to join, one of whom served as the deputy commander and four teenagers served as the deputy captain, who would be responsible for maintaining military discipline and supervising daily training in the future.
Hongying's warbler team was also promoted to the women's barracks, and the number did not increase, but the remaining 3,000 or so women were also under her control for the time being, named Houying.
Mainly responsible for the logistics of the army, the village women and village aunts do laundry, cook and raise horses, and the concubines and maids manage money, food and materials.
Only with these girls in their hands, those heroes will follow him with all their hearts, and from time to time they will pick out some on blind dates, which can satisfy their appetite.
Although there are only more than 700 veterans and more than 1,000 recruits, these teenagers are Qin Yu's real descendants and will rely on them in the future, so they are all promoted to the firearms battalion.
The numbers are from one to five, and Qin Meng, Qin Yong, Qin Wu, Qin Zhong, and Qin Yi are still the battalion commanders.
Each battalion temporarily has a team of 350 people, and five people are also the captains.
Niu Er's centaurs, Qin Yu also planned to move.
"Brother Niu, I plan to hand over the more than 1,000 heroes of the Bear Team and the Monkey Team to you in the future, and promote you to the commander."
"Ahh Brother Qin, how can the elder brother be deed, I'm afraid the brothers won't be convinced! ”
Niu Eryi was happy, but his face was modest.
The Hongying and Qin Tie and other newly promoted commanders on the opposite side were all shocked, wanting to stop them loudly, but they were afraid that Qin Yu would scold them, and their faces were flushed with anxiety.
And Niu Er's ten subordinates were all smug and happy.
"Hey, Brother Niu began to rebel in the year of the Apocalypse, speaking of qualifications, he is comparable to the Eight Kings and Cao Cao, but he is a little more upright, and now he has been promoted to the Great Commander, who dares to disagree?"
Qin Yu waved his hand and said that he slapped the table at the end.
"Big brother, what King Hua said is reasonable, don't postpone it."
"Yes, big brother, you are the great commander of the people, who dares to be verbose?"
The ten captains all hurriedly responded to the peace, and as they spoke, they glared at the red warbler and Qin Tie on the opposite side defiantly.
"That's good, Brother Qin looks up to my brother, and I don't shirk anymore, I will follow Brother Ding in this life, whether I go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, I will never frown."
Niu Eryi pounded the table, stood up and didn't pretentiously, in terms of qualifications, he was indeed a rebel against the team pulled at the same time as the Eight Kings.
"Haha, okay, I just like Brother Niu's refreshing temperament, well, but so many teams are not easy to manage...
In this way, 6,000 people are exactly divided into three battalions, each battalion is 2,000, the black bear has performed well in these battles, and he was burned by gold juice during the siege yesterday, and he was hit with a soldering iron, and it is just right to be promoted to battalion commander, as for the other two commanders, Brother Niu, who do you think is suitable among the ten captains? ”
"This..."
Niu Er looked at his ten brothers, scratched his head in embarrassment, but the ten of them all looked at him with blank eyes, and almost didn't say that the eldest brother picked me.
The black bear was grinning on the other side, laughing out loud.
Almost everyone had no objection to Qin Yu's reasonable proposal.
After all, if you are promoted to the rank of commander, you will definitely not be able to manage another battalion, and the other captains will be promoted to commanders, although the number of their fourteen captains is a bit large, it is also appropriate to pick a few people to be promoted.
"Then Brother Zhao and Brother Ye!"
In the end, Niu Er still chose the two old brothers who followed him first, and a trace of disappointment obviously flashed on the faces of the other eight people, and a few of them were even more dissatisfied, feeling that the eldest brother was too partial.
"Well, then in the future, these three battalions will be called the Black Battalion, the Zhao Battalion, and the Ye Battalion, although the three battalions do not need to be trained, but military law and military discipline must also be observed, violators will be severely punished, and the pro-guard battalion will be responsible for supervising the implementation in the future."
Qin Yu nodded, and then said with a solemn face.
"Yes, King Hua!" Everyone clenched their fists in unison.
Qin Yu didn't have time to train them, and he didn't bother to train them, not to mention that he felt that an army should have any kind of soldiers.
These guys will be used to siege the city and fight a tailwind battle in the future.
Three infantry battalions and firearms battalions fought field battles, female soldiers rescued the wounded, chased and killed the routed soldiers, and sappers built weapons in peacetime, and were responsible for camping in wartime, building bridges and boats, and washing and cooking in the rear camp, sewing and mending.
No one has anything to say, after all, if the soldiers envy the treatment of the young soldiers, then you go to training every day and learn words at night.
Envy the treatment of the infantry, when you have the ability to charge the cavalry, you squat in front with a shield to carry it.
