Chapter 180: Reorganizing the Sixth Army
γγγγγγγγγγ
After everyone heard this, they all nodded again and again, Yuming's arrangement was still good. Fortunately, when Yang Guang led the main force of the Sui army to retreat, he left enough food, weapons and armor, otherwise it would not be easy for the Liaodong camp to arm 100,000 new soldiers.
However, Lin Mo had some doubts and said: "The general is right to arrange it this way, Liaodong City and other cities have strong walls to defend, and there is no need for more troops." The battalion was indeed well guarded. It's just that when His Majesty's army retreated, although he didn't take away those military equipment, it was impossible to arm hundreds of thousands of people at once. β
"Now the armor in the battalion can equip 100,000 people, which is good, and as for weapons, it can equip a few more. If only everyone was given a weapon, we could make it possible for everyone to carry a sword and a spear...... However, it takes a long time to train a recruit to become a veteran. In a short time, it is impossible to immediately form combat effectiveness. If the Goryeo coalition army knows the reality of our waiting and dumps 150,000 troops to attack, I am afraid that our battalion will not be able to hold it. He said with a worried face.
Of course, Yuming knew that the best way was to retreat to Liaodong City, the Far Eastern fortress, so that he would definitely be able to hold it. However, his goal was to completely defeat the Goryeo coalition army, conquer Goryeo, and turn the fertile land of Liaodong into a large rear for his domination of the world. So how is it possible not to advance and retreat?
"Since there is only armor equipped with 100,000 people, I think Liaodong, Buyeo, and Heishi City each receive 1,000 sets of armor as backups, and the rest will be left to the big camp. In addition, the weapons will be distributed according to each person's hand, so that the people can feel more or less at ease. Half of the surplus bows and crossbows were transferred to the city to defend the city, and the remaining half was left in the camp...... The equipment has been distributed in this way for the time being, and now we will discuss the generals stationed in each city. How do you think it should be distributed? β
"Marshal, I am willing to go to Fuyu City to guard!" As soon as Yu Ming's words fell, Cheng Yanjin took the lead in asking for his life.
After Yuming heard this, he smiled and didn't agree.
He knew very well in his heart: Buyeo City was the largest city in Goryeo after Liaodong City and Pyongyang City, and now most of the surnames in the city had fled, and only more than 2,000 Sui troops were guarding it.
Although the location and status of the city are very important. But far from the rear, far from the front line. Even if the Goryeo army wanted to attack, it would not attack this lonely but high-walled Buyeo Castle, but it should be the Black Rock Castle that must be passed through to Liaodong Castle.
Therefore, no matter who is sent to defend Fuyu City, as long as there are more than 2,000 soldiers, the guard general is not a stupid and mediocre general, and it is not a problem to easily defend the sky. And it was really the enemy who was menacing and strong. After a few days, reinforcements from Liaodong City and Black Rock City should also arrive.
Therefore, stationed in Buyeo City is the easiest of this defensive mission.
"I've heard before that Cheng Biting Jin seems to be honest, but in fact he has a slippery head, and he always wants to pick fat and pick up thin when doing things, and it seems that this is the case!" Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart.
However, it was impossible for Yuming to let him go to guard Buyeo Castle. As soon as Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin came under his command, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he really returned to his heart.
Second, although this person is a famous hero and general in history, he is now a nobody. If they are allowed to take up the position of city lord as soon as they come, I am afraid that many of their subordinates will not be convinced.
Besides, Yu Ming is really not at ease with Cheng Biting Jin, this guy always wants to cheat and play tricks, in case the enemy attacks, he only cares about himself, regardless of others, escapes, or dies and does not save him, because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he has no way at all.
After shaking his head, Yu Mingfang smiled and said: "General Cheng, you, General Luo, and General Qin have just arrived in my Zuoling Guard, and we are just getting close to each other, and there are still many things in the army that need your assistance to deal with, how can I let you defend the city alone?" I'll send a general to guard it!"
"According to Ben Shuai, it is better to do this: the original strength of this city will not move. Liaodong City, with an additional 1,000 cavalry and 10,000 people, was guarded by Zhang Xinyu, the deputy general of Wei Chi Jingde. β
"Fuyu City, add eight more cavalry, 20,000 people, and Lin Mo's deputy general Li Jian is responsible for guarding the town."
"Black Rock City, add six more cavalry and 10,000 people, and Guo Yi's deputy general Tian Hao is responsible for guarding it. Support one another and communicate with each other. β
"As for Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin, generals will sit in the camp with me and reorganize the 100,000 people who are to be incorporated into the army. The commander planned to take ten people as a group, one team for five people, and four thousand people as a brigade. The five brigades are one army. Reorganize it into five armies! β
Speaking of this, Yu Ming paused for a moment, and then continued: "The names of these five armies are the Youyi Army, the Tabai Army, the Xuanfeng Army, the Shengjie Army, and the Enemy Breaking Army!" β
"In this way, there are a total of 100,000 people in my camp in Liaodong. Divided into six armies. I am also the main general of the Zuo Ling Guard, and Red Sleeves and Guo Yi are the second generals. The whole army totaled 10,000 people, with 10,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 light cavalry. The light cavalry led by the red sleeves, and the heavy cavalry led by Guo Yi! β
"The other five armies are 20,000 people each, the commander of the Youyi army will be Lin Mo, the commander of the Tabai army will be Cheng Yanjin, the commander of the Fengjun army will be Wei Chi Jingde, the commander of the Shengjie army will be Qin Qiong, and the commander of the enemy army will be Luo Shixin."
"There are 10,000 people in our Zuoling Guard, and 1,005 gang commanders, famous team leaders, 60 regiment leaders, and 15 brigade commanders have been transferred from them to serve as the team commanders, team leaders, regiment leaders, and brigade commanders of the Minfu Army. If there are still vacancies in the Zuo Ling Guard Army and the Minfu Army, the wounded veterans assigned by General Zhang Xutuo's subordinates will be supplemented according to their previous positions. If there is another vacancy, it will be filled in the original Zuoling Guard, among the selected capable men. "Yu Ming announced a series of orders for the appointment of commanders and the transfer of officers.
There is no way to transfer nearly 2,000 grassroots officers from Zuo Lingwei's army to the Minfu army at once. Although Yu Ming has a lot of people in his hands, it has reached 600,000 people. However, apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, and craftsmen, only 100,000 people could really be conscripted into the army.
But even if these 100,000 people are organized into an army, and they are issued with armor and weapons, it is completely useless to conduct military training properly. These people are afraid that when they arrive on the battlefield, their legs will tremble with fear. Don't say that they will kill the enemy, it is just a faΓ§ade, and they can't fool by putting on a posture.
Now, of course, let the gang commanders who are only in charge of ten people take care of a recruit as the team leader; Let the team that only cares about the people who come to be the head of the regiment and manage the five soldiers, which is really a bit of a suspicion of pulling out the seedlings.
But there is no way to do it, because the number of troops in Yuming's hands is less. If he wants to destroy Goryeo, not to mention whether 10,000 people can defeat more than 100,000 people. Even if he really defeated the enemy, he would not be able to hold such a large piece of fertile land in Liaodong with only 10,000 people, so he had to expand his army on a large scale.
Although the current expansion of the army is a bit hasty, and the expansion from 10,000 to 100,000 at once is too rapid. But if he wants to use the fastest time to quell the chaos in Liaodong, he can only do this.
But fortunately, both Zuo Ling's guards and Zhang Xutuo's remnants are the most elite troops in the Sui army. Therefore, the quality of their officers, such as the commander of the group, the captain of the team, the regiment commander and the brigade commander, was also higher than that of other Sui troops. If you want to bluff these people, it is not a big problem.
Cheng Yanjin sat on the sidelines and listened to Yu Ming's appointment. At first, he was very angry in his heart, because Yuming didn't give him face, and didn't let him go to the most desired Buyeo town guard. But after hearing this, Cheng Yanjin's face showed a smile.
Because Yu Ming actually appointed him as the commander of the newly established Tabai Army, with 20,000 men under his command. This surprised him, knowing that when he was under Zhang Xutuo before, he was only a partial general, and his soldiers were only 5,000.
And Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and others, as well as the officers under the original Zhang Xutuo, were also excited. They were originally a little nervous about whether they could be appreciated by the young marshal if they were assigned to Yuming. After all, they were not from the Zuoling Guard, and they were not the descendants of the Yu clan.
But now it seems that their previous worries were superfluous, and Yuming treated them and the officers of the Zuo Ling Guard army equally. The seven generals who originally held the position of second general, whether they were born in the Zuoling Guard Army or not, have now become the main generals. Guo Yi, who had the smallest number of soldiers under his command, had 10,000 soldiers. The other six were all in command of 20,000 people, and both their positions and troops were greatly improved compared with before. How does this not overjoye them?
Of course, these Minfu troops must not be able to compare their combat effectiveness with the elite Zuo Ling Guards of the Sui Army, but as long as they are reorganized and trained for a period of time, they can gradually form combat effectiveness. And he really became the commander of the first army.
Moreover, they also realized that this young general from the Yu clan of the Guanlong clan was really not simple, not only had courage and knowledge, but also dared to delegate power. If you follow him, your chances of promotion will be much better than in other places.
However, for Yuming's arrangement, another person was a little reluctant.
I saw that among the group of staff transferred from Zhang Xutuo's remnants, another person stood up, and he said loudly: "Marshal, this is not allowed!" It is a little inappropriate to let these gang leaders and team members lead a regiment or even a brigade of people. Moreover, the transfer of most of the grassroots officers of the Zuoling Guard Army will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the original main army. However, it will take time for the new People's Army to form a fighting force. In the event that the enemy attacks during this period, it will be dangerous! β
When everyone heard this, they all sweated for him, this guy actually said in front of so many people that the marshal's decision was wrong, didn't this make the marshal unable to step down? If a subordinate in the army does not obey the orders of his superiors, he will be dealt with by public military law. Didn't this man kill himself?
