Wang Danxu said that when the guards had few guns and few guns, his eyes drifted to Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, the generals of the standing army, intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Wang Danxu looking at himself while talking, Fang Dongquan had a very bad premonition in their hearts, but they couldn't guess what it was.

At this time, everyone listened to Wang Danxu again: "According to the standard mark of the Guards compiled by His Majesty before, if our Guards want to achieve the best combat ability, the ratio of spearmen and musketeers should only be slightly less or even equal than one to one, and for the thickness of depth and firepower density, spearmen and musketeers need six columns in front and back, so as to ensure the thickness of the spear array and the firepower density of the musketeers when they are in rotation. ”

"Also in order to ensure the width of the battlefield, there should be no less than thirty spearmen in each column, and no less than fifteen musketeers in each column on both flanks.

In this way, we need at least one hundred and eighty spearmen and an equal number of musketeers in order to maximize the strategic advantage of our guards! ”

Hearing Wang Danxu say this, several other people, including Li Xuan himself, felt a little speechless, you really dare to say it!

Although this establishment was indeed proposed by Li Xuan himself, he clearly said when he first proposed it that this was only an ideal establishment, and at this stage, the Guards Army is reducing its establishment under the premise of an ideal establishment.

Otherwise, Li Xuan would have found nearly three hundred and sixty soldiers of the Guards, and even if he had manpower, he would not have found so many arquebuses.

The arquebus production of the Tang Dynasty was primitive and inefficient, relying on those few blacksmiths to build, it took two or three months to make more than 20 muskets, and if you want to make up one hundred and eighty muskets, the Tang Dynasty will have to spend at least a year and a half!

After Wang Danxu said this, he looked at everyone's reaction but was disapproving, he didn't naively think that what he said at today's meeting would have any practical effect, he just reminded them: The Guards are the main force to resist the Ming army, and if you want to resist the attack of the Ming army, you must increase the investment in the Guards, whether it is personnel or materials.

The benefits will only be there if you have to keep fighting, and if he Wang Danxu doesn't fight, the manpower and muskets will not fall in front of him.

However, after the post-war summary meeting was over tonight, Li Xuan really thought about how to expand the production of muskets.

In today's battle, although the musketeers only fired a volley of guns, this round of guns stunned the opponent, and later launched a bayonet charge with the spearmen, thus laying the foundation for the great victory of the Guards.

This proves that the arquebus and the insertion bayonet he concocted, although there are still many defects, are barely usable, and can even be used to completely replace the spearmen.

Now the only problem is that the production of muskets is too low!

After driving the Ming army out of the mountain, he should consider expanding the scale of the blacksmith workshop in Huangzhu Mountain, although there are only a few experienced blacksmiths in Huangzhu Mountain, but there are a lot of young people with strength, in the process of building muskets, most of the pure physical work can be completed by those ordinary young people, and those blacksmiths only need to complete the most delicate part of the work, so that it should be able to effectively increase the production of arquebuses.

As long as there is an arquebus, then the expansion of the Guards will be easy!

The Guards sound like they are very difficult to train, and Li Xuan barely managed to get them out for more than half a year, but in fact, in the process of forming the Guards, more time was spent on various experiments, because Li Xuan was also the first time to form a modern model army, which was inexperienced, so naturally he needed to let the Guards act as guinea pigs.

However, now that they have figured out a mature training model, as long as there is a proper source of soldiers, it is not difficult to train qualified recruits.

An ordinary peasant only needs three months of training to send him to the battlefield!

It's just that there are no peasants in Huangzhu Mountain, some are just bandits, except for those half-grown children, the other young and strong are almost all old fritters, if they are subjected to strict training, it is estimated that most of them are unwilling, once most of them are unwilling, Li Xuan will not be able to forcibly push them.

After thinking about it for a long time before going to bed, Li Xuan could only sigh in the end, if he wanted to expand the Guards to a few hundred people, it was too difficult, and it was not at all something that the current Tang Dynasty could afford.

As for the thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, if there were really so many people, would he Li Xuan still hold it in the ravine? He had already gone out of the mountain, and he might not be able to drink the Qinhuai River in a few months.

I don't know if there is anything like Qin Huai Bayan in this time and space, if there is, when he enters Ying Tianfu one day, he will definitely be caught and whipped fiercely, over and over again......

Thinking like this, Li Xuan just entered the dream, as the so-called day and night dream, so this night he dreamed again, and the previous times he dreamed that the Ming army killed in front of him, this time he dreamed that he was wearing a military uniform, combat boots stepped on the land of the Beijing Division, behind him were countless tanks, planes and artillery, and even the aircraft carrier ran ashore and drove outside the capital......

The puppet Ming monarchs and ministers knelt in front of them and waited for their arrival, and the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty crawled and rolled in front of them one by one, rushing to shout long live the emperor and were willing to sacrifice all their family wealth.

Zhengde Lao'er smiled flatteringly, and pulled one princess and even concubine after another down in front of Li Xuan, saying that you are in love with that and that.

That scene, not to mention how cool it is!

When Li Xuan was woken up in a daze the next day, it was a look of regret, if only this dream could be done a little longer, in the dream, he had already lined up more than ten daughters and princesses of Zhengde, but unfortunately he woke up as soon as he took off his pants!

Bastard, whoever wakes up himself, I will punish him for the nine clans!

When he looked up, he saw that it was Bai Yunqi, and in the next moment, he put the idea of what the Nine Clans were talking about, just kidding, Bai Yunqi was his uncle, wouldn't the words of the Nine Clans punish himself, and he didn't want to commit suicide like this!

After being called up by Bai Yunqi, after a brief freshening up, and after having breakfast, Li Xuan led hundreds of bandits from Huangzhu Mountain into the deep mountains and old forests again.

Through the mouths of the previous prisoners, they had already learned the approximate route of the main force of the Ming army, and now they were heading in the direction of the Ming army.

Of course, they didn't plan to go head-to-head with the Ming army, it was basically an act of looking for death, even if Li Xuan was stupid to send him to death, but Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren would not go!

This group of bandits in Huangzhushan is ready to continue to carry out the original plan, that is, to hang in the rear of the Ming army, knock out their logistics supply line, force the Ming army out of the mountain, and it is best to find an opportunity to give the Ming army a hard blow! In order to capture some prisoners, seize some booty or something.

The people of Huangzhushan were very interested in the armor, bows and arrows and even swords and spears in the hands of the Ming army!

I just don't know if this time the Ming army will be the same as last time, carry forward the noble and selfless character and become the captain of the transport brigade again!
