Chapter 215: Xuanxiang Eight Formations
Although the generals attach great importance to the training of the troops, it is by no means an overnight time to form an army formation.
The three battalions of infantry, middle base, and tiger are relatively good, and most of the battalions are mainly infantry, so it is somewhat easier to train the troops.
However, the cavalry battalions, such as the three battalions of the Yue cavalry, the Hu cavalry, and the tun cavalry, plus half of the shooting battalion, are not easy to form a formation, and it is even more difficult if they can still form a formation in the middle of the battle.
In the Dew Camp in Dizhou, Li Luo refused to fight against Che Boye, and the power of the cavalry battle array can be seen, but this is the case, when the battle can form a horse formation, less than thirty percent of the cavalry, let alone the Luo Shang array of the unwise general.
The Luo Shang Array was originally embedded in the ancient cavalry formation, which was ever-changing, unprovoked, between virtual and real, practiced to the extreme, and it was not an exaggeration to call it the Eight Formations of Cavalry Xuanxiang.
If it weren't for the cavalry in the camp, Li Luo's many tactics would be difficult to carry out, and the Xifu army wanted to compete with the heroes of the world in the desert north of the Western Regions.
Li Luo and the generals discussed in detail, and each battalion stepped up the drill of the military formation, which could become what the generals pointed out and what the soldiers did.
Li Luo, Shen Xiangdong, Di Jie and Yun Wuyan were sleepless for several days, screened several formations, and rode and shot on foot and handed over to the commanders of each battalion, and ordered the officers and soldiers in the battalion to study strictly.
Many of the selected formations have been slightly improved, and they are better than those described in the military books. Li Luo also wrote down the complete Luo Shang array silently, and several cavalry generals in the army were amazed when they saw it, and many changes in the formation have become absolutely resounding, and they have not reappeared in the Dagan army in the past hundred years.
Luo Shang seventeen formations, there are formations in the array, and there are changes in the changes, no wonder the first page of this military formation makes it clear that if there is no sophisticated cavalry, this formation can only take the first three changes. The generals were secretly speechless. Looking at each other, there is really no certainty that he can comprehend how many changes in the Luo Sheng array, Li Luo has no different color, and only let a few generals in the army take the first two formations, give them to the officers and men in the battalion, and then make plans after they are proficient.
Then the herald was delayed. Select the elite cavalry from the army, and the left and right battalions of the Chinese army are one thousand, Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong personally directed the cavalry formation, still leaving the number of the Chinese army, Chi Li and Hu Cha Dongcian two generals on behalf of the left and right two battalion commanders, the battalion officers and soldiers are good at bows and crossbows, in addition to excellent riding skills, Li Luo also ordered the soldiers to practice the art of short spear throwing assassination, the cavalry of the Chinese army, in addition to sabers, bows and arrows. Shang had a few more short spears than the cavalry of his battalion.
Into a battalion of cavalry, riding for one, soldiers for two, although Dagan said that the territory is vast, but there are not many state capitals that can breed war horses, only a few states such as Muzhou and Youzhou can produce war horses.
Dagan has been weak for many years, only Prince Chun's Dingbei Army and the cavalry battalion under the account of Muzhou Hou Huchaci are quite large, and the rest of the troops can gather thousands of cavalry. It's amazing, not to mention the skill of the bow horse. At best, it's just a window dressing.
Li Luo and the generals in the camp had this in mind, and added a war horse to the list of Xirong tribute, but the war horse that Xirong paid tribute was far less than what the army wanted. Two horse farms with a radius of hundreds of miles were built, and soldiers who were good at herding horses and some wounded veterans who had nowhere to return home were sent by the army to take care of the pastures.
Li Luo attaches so much importance to the cavalry, and his ambition is to Mongolia, although Li Luo does not say it, but the generals see it. There is a lot of hope in my heart.
Compared with the Mongs, Xijon is at most a three-year-old child. Mobei has many mountains and grass seas, the territory is vast, all the way to the north, it is rumored that there has never been an end, it seems to be a little bigger than the thirty-three states of Dagan.
In the sea of grass, there are many tribes, and the Mongju is the largest of them.
Since the establishment of the country of Dagan, this Mongolian Turk has been located in the north of the desert, talking about a long distance, far above the Great Gan, the past dynasties are the henchmen of the Great Gan, but even if the national strength is strong such as the Gan Taizu Li Xia years, the Great Gan is also unable to conquer the Mongolian Turk.
In two hundred years, they have defended more and attacked less, if it were not for the fact that the Mongols had to beware of other Caohai tribes from time to time, the northern frontier of Dagan had already been flattened by the Mongol iron cavalry, that is, to this day, the Dagan Dynasty only knew that the Mongols were strong, but how much territory the Mongs had, how many soldiers and horses, but there was never any definite news.
In the Guannan barracks, there is a new atmosphere, and the New Year is approaching, and the cold winter can hardly hide the joy of the soldiers, and the inside and outside of this large camp are full of vitality, and there is a sense of refreshment.
The matter of military training is not an overnight effort, and Li Luo is not in a hurry, he just practices diligently every day, and he has never been anxious.
The fourth battalion of Dizhou, where the big battalion is located in Guannan, Zhou Linhan led his troops to be stationed in Xinye, Yuan Jun was stationed in Moxia City to prevent Mongs, Liu Ce stuck to Yingchou Gorge, Li Luo and Di Jie passed the military order together, and ordered each battalion to be diligent in training and change the defense for half a year.
Between the four battalions, the art of war military formation can not hide private, Guannan battalion sent the soldiers of the battalion to teach the improved military formation, but strictly prevent other countries from doing detailed work, under the military order, anyone who leaks the secret military book in the army, there is no forgiveness.
Now that Dizhou is pacified, the surviving army of Zhengxi and the army of shepherds under Li Luo's command are united in one place, and there are still 400,000 people, and the expenditure on food and salary is extremely huge.
Li Luo discussed with the generals in the army, the soldiers are not too expensive, and he intends to reduce the old and weak soldiers, send them back to their hometowns to recuperate for the rest of their lives, and only keep the elite division.
The generals in the army have their own concerns, as if in the western army, no one answered for a while, and finally Di Jie took the lead in solving the deadlock, saying that the long pain is better than the short pain, and ordered the generals under his command to reduce the aging soldiers and wounded soldiers, and send them back to their hometowns, which can be regarded as a good death.
Li Luo was quite helpless, but he couldn't, if he became an army, he would be constantly interrupted, and he would suffer from its chaos, but he ordered the generals to make a register of those who were not good at fighting in each battalion after the New Year's pass, and report it to Qi Shaobing, and all of them would be allocated double the salary and silver, and sent back to their homeland, and the generals should be sent down one by one.
Three days later, it was the end of the year.
Li Luo was reading the "Ten Thousand Miles of Idle Clouds" biography of the old man of Guigu and himself in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ni Qing hurriedly ran in, took a few breaths, and said quickly: "General." ”
Li Luo put down his medical skills, smiled lightly, didn't care, and said indifferently: "What's wrong?" ”
"General Hucha is back."
"Oh?" Li Luo was shocked and said, "So fast! Where are the people? ”
"I've already entered the camp, and I'm coming to the general."
Li Luo stood up and said, "Let's go out and have a look." Before Li Luo's voice fell, a voice from outside the tent came from Hu Chajing: "General, the last general Hu Chajing, come to restore your life." ”
Li Luo stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the tent, Hu Chajing looked dusty, and came to return to his life before he could wash up, and it was difficult to hide his joy in his tired face. General Helian Chengxian followed behind, saw Li Luo, saluted, Li Luo held his hands weakly, and said: "General Hucha has worked hard, are the soldiers all right?" ”
"Back to the general, the last general thirteen days ago in the west of the three forks to find the whereabouts of He Yitian, a battle, Leng Shaoxia single-handedly killed He Yitian and several of his thieves, the last general led the army to chase hundreds of miles, nine days ago, He Yitian a group of horse thieves more than 500 people were all cut down, no one missed the net, a few days ago through Linxia, the last general according to the general's military order, the head of the horse thief was hung outside Linxia City, come to pay the order." Hu Chajing replied loudly. (To be continued.) )
