Chapter 169: The Whole Army and the Armed Forces (1)
The sound of horses' hooves of "rumbling, rumbling, rumbling ......" resounded throughout the training ground, nearly tens of thousands of war horses ran back and forth, and the whole earth was shaken.
Guo Qi, dressed in military uniform, rode to chase the wind, surrounded by Li Wu and others, this mobile corps composed of 30,000 cavalry; Wherever Guo Qi passed, all the soldiers of the Yongjun Army were in awe and saluted Guo Qi.
Guo Qi came to the center of the army, pulled out his dragon tooth war knife, stepped on the stirrup and stood upright on the war horse, and roared loudly: "The Yongjun is mighty. ”
"Chitose, the lord." After the thunder of 30,000 soldiers.
"The Yongjun is mighty."
"Chitose, the lord."
"The Yongjun is mighty."
"Lord Chitose, Chitose, Chitose......"
With a few simple slogans, Guo Qi completely boosted the morale of the 30,000 cavalry, which may be the personal charm of Guo Qi, the king of Yong.
"Brothers, this king has brought you from the sea of corpses and blood, each of you has been tempered by blood and fire, and is the elite of my Yongjun." Guo Qi gave an impassioned speech to all the soldiers: "But from today on, we will have to start all over again, you may have to ask why, this king will tell you now, it is because of the war horse under your crotch, this king wants you to become the most elite cavalry in the world, there is no one;
This king hopes that one day, he will be able to take your horses to Qilian and seal the wolf Juxu, and achieve the prestige of our Yongjun elite cavalry, so that our enemies will be frightened to pee their pants when they hear our name, and let those who claim to be the horseback people Beidi and Xirong tremble under our horse's hooves and regret being our enemies...... The Yongjun is mighty......"
"The Yongjun is mighty, the Yongjun is mighty......"
——————————
As the sun set, the day's training was over, and the Yongjun cavalry, who had returned to the barracks from the training ground, began to feed their horses in person; And the generals under Guo Qi came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"See the lord." After a few people came in, they saluted Guo Qi together.
"Sit down!" Guo Qi said to everyone; "I came to you just after training, because I had something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter, my lord? It's so mysterious. Ma Cheng said first.
"It's a question of cavalry." Guo Qi said with a smile: "We are no longer 6,000 cavalry in one guard and five mansions now, but a full army of 30,000, so the original cavalry establishment also needs to be further expanded, in other words, everyone here has been promoted." ”
"Ha, ha, ha, ha......" After listening to everyone's words, everyone laughed.
"You all say, do you expand the establishment of 'Wei' according to the establishment of the imperial court's forbidden army, or continue to maintain the original establishment and add a new level of establishment to the 'Wei'?" Guo Qi asked the generals for their opinions.
"My lord, is this formation only applicable to our cavalry, or is it with the simultaneous army?" Hou Ji asked Guo Qi.
"Naturally, it is necessary to apply cavalry, as for the infantry army, you don't have to worry about it, this king will discuss the formation of the infantry army with Hu Qiong and them." Guo Qi said.
"My lord, I think that the original establishment of 'Wei' should be maintained." Hou Ji then replied.
"Tell me your reasoning."
"My lord, you robes; According to the combat habits of Xirong and Beidi, in wartime, they would generally organize three or five thousand cavalry into one combat unit, called three thousand cavalry and five thousand cavalry, and act alone;
And if we encounter the enemy's 3,000 cavalry or 5,000 cavalry on the battlefield, first of all, we have an advantage in strength, and our army is fully capable of annihilating or defeating them, and the cavalry of one guard is enough to deal with a medium-sized cavalry battle. Hou Ji continued.
"Then wouldn't it be better if we expanded the establishment of the 'guard' to 10,000 horsemen, and then we would be 100% sure that they would be annihilated." Wei Ying said: "And if we encounter the enemy's 'ten thousand horsemen', we can also fight with it." ”
"Expanding the number of guards to 10,000 cavalry is not good for command at all." Hou Ji continued: "And it is completely unnecessary to use 10,000 cavalry to deal with the enemy's 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 cavalry, if we encounter the enemy's large-scale cavalry of more than 10,000 cavalry, we can completely organize two or three guards together for unified command and coordination of operations, so that whether it is in small-scale, medium-scale or large-scale cavalry warfare, our cavalry can always maintain the superiority in strength." ”
After Hou Ji finished speaking, not only Wei Ying was speechless, but even the other people present nodded again and again, and Guo Qi even cast an approving look at Hou Ji with a smile on his face, the reason is that he is completely consistent with Guo Qi's thoughts, and in one sentence, it is 'the hero sees the same'.
In fact, Guo Qi has long thought about the establishment of this 30,000 cavalry and the establishment of the Yongjun infantry army, and the reason why Guo Qi didn't say it at the beginning was actually to test these boys and let them use their brains.
After all, Guo Qi can't do all the wars in the future, and these people here will be the main commanders of the Yongjun cavalry, as a general commander, you must have a smart brain, and you must learn to adapt to changes in wartime, an excellent general in the era of cold weapons can often determine the victory or defeat of a war.
"What Hou Ji said just now is very reasonable, do you have any different opinions?" After Hou Ji finished speaking, Guo Qi asked everyone again.
"We have no objections."
"Okay, in that case, the king has decided to divide these 30,000 cavalry into five guards, and the establishment of each guard is still 6,000 cavalry, and each guard will have one general and two generals." Guo Qi said to the generals: "Ma Ying, Wei Ying, Hou Ji, and Liu Yanzong were promoted to General Wei, and the former Captain Guo Yi of the Wufu Cavalry was promoted to General Pi. ”
"Thank you, Lord." Everyone in military uniforms bowed down to Guo Qi and saluted.
"In addition, the title of hussar guard was promoted to hussar army, and the five provinces were subordinate to the hussar army, and the hussar army chief will be served by the king himself.
"The lord is wise." Everyone patted their ass.
"Lord, do we have to have a title for each of our guards as before?" Liu Yanzong asked Guo Qi.
"Then it's the first guard, the second guard, the third guard, the fourth guard, and the fifth guard." Guo Qi was too lazy to name "Ma Jiu is the commander of the second guard, Wei Ying is the commander of the third guard, Hou Ji is the fourth guard, and Liu Yanzong is the fifth guard; Moreover, the establishment of your five guards should be the same as the original hussar guards, the light cavalry of the four provinces and the heavy cavalry of the first province; The original heavy cavalry was split into five and swapped with each guard. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yanzong received the order with a painful face: "No! The last general commanded; But my lord, your name is too simple. ”
"This is just the establishment of the army, and the king of Ming Japan will give each of you a unique banner." Guo Qi said to everyone: "If there is nothing else, let's disperse!" ”
"The Last Will Retire ......"
After everyone left, Guo Qi said to Li Wuyan: "Five sons, five guards cavalry, do you know why this king sent the first guard cavalry out alone?" ”
"I don't know what I do."
"You kid don't pretend to be stupid for Lao Tzu, and tell you the truth, this first guard is left for you by this king." Guo Qi scolded with a smile.
"My lord, if you don't go to serve as the first guard of General Wei, you can't follow your lord's side." Li Wu asked Guo Qi.
"You can't always follow this king, you've learned enough from this king, and it's time to lead the army alone." Guo Qi patted Li Wu on the shoulder and said.
"Humble thanks to the lord for cultivation." Li Wu was moved and said; "But my lord, I don't feel comfortable entrusting your safety to someone else."
