From Zhang Yue's strategy, in fact, it can be seen that the composition of the supervision standard is relatively special, they have obvious regional characteristics, although they are all hung with the name of the supervision, but in fact, there are Huguang supervision standards, Sichuan supervision standards, and even within the Huguang supervision standards, there are many internal divisions.

Because of the composition of the superintendent, it is the local famous gentry who pay for the recruitment of soldiers, and then train according to the unified standards of the superintendent, and then organize and participate in the war, which is also formed, a superintendent army, all the soldiers are from a certain county or state capital, and the regional characteristics are very obvious.

So that within the superintendent, it is often called by a certain army, for example, the eight thousand superintendents who were stationed in Qishui before, it is the regular number of the superintendent, according to the naming rules of the superintendent, it is the left army of the superintendent, but within the superintendent, this army is called Xiangyang Wei, because most of the soldiers in it are from Xiangyang Mansion.

At present, in the entire southwest region of King Jing's regime, there are many armed forces, the Governor is only one of them, in addition to the Governor of Zhang Yue, there are about 10,000 guards directly under King Jing, Yunnan Mu Wang is under the command of Yunnan local guards, about 20,000 young and strong, generally called Mu Wang Army. There are other disorganized armies, but most of them are small in number and weak in combat power, and they are basically negligible.

The core of it is naturally the supervision, the supervision of 150,000 people, which was integrated from the earlier supervision of the standard and the Huguang training army, and was divided into a total of five armies on the left, right, front, and rear as before.

At present, these five armies, the rear army is deployed on the front line of Sichuan, and at the same time close to the Yunnan region of Sichuan, the western part of Jingzhou in Hubei, such as the Badong region, which also belongs to the defense area of the department, and is currently under the command of Song Zhiwen, the governor of eastern Sichuan, with a strength of as many as 40,000 troops, but many of them are new recruits, and have not fought any regular battles, and the equipment is good, but the experience of large-scale warfare is seriously lacking.

The Chinese army is Zhang Yue's direct subordinate troops, he personally commanded, deployed in Hanyang Mansion, De'an Mansion, Henan Yiyang Sanguan and other places, there are a lot of troops, reaching more than 30,000 people, well-equipped, and many of them are veterans, with long-term confrontation and combat experience with the Tang Army, combat effectiveness is one of the best troops in the supervising army.

The left army was deployed on the front line of Huangzhou Mansion, under the command of the veteran general of the superintendent and the right capital of Yu Shi Du Danqing, with a total strength of more than 60,000 people, but lost more than 10,000 people in the Battle of Susong, and only about 50,000 people remained.

And the unit is actually the real elite main force of the Governor, all the way and the Tang Army fought countless battles, the original Jiangxi Campaign, in fact, Du Danqing led the Governor of the Left Army and the Tang Army to fight, although the defeat and retreat, but in fact the department is the Governor has the most veterans, the most experienced combat army, but the equipment is slightly worse than the Chinese army.

The commander of the army is a rookie general who has only emerged in the last year, only 28 years old, and Fei Qinxiang, who has never held an official position.

This person is not a civil official in the Ming Dynasty, because he has never held an official position, he was earlier as Zhang Yue's staff, and assisted Song Zhiwen in training recruits in the rear for a long time, after the battles of Hunan and Jiangxi, the governor suffered heavy losses, he was ordered to return to his hometown Anlu Prefecture to recruit troops, recruited about 5,000 Anlu soldiers, and naturally became the commander of the 5,000 guards, and then was promoted by Zhang Yue to be the commander of the rebuilt right army.

The former army of the superintendent was deployed on the front line of Xiangyang Mansion and Xunyang Mansion, with fewer troops, only more than 10,000 people, which was the worst army.

There are a total of five armies in the above-mentioned front and back, left and right, which constitute the superintendent, and the difference in the strength of each army is relatively large, because the strength of each army is related to the commander's personal ability, or resources, and personal relationships.

The core of the main force here is the Left Army, as the main force of the Inspectorate, and it is also the largest number of Inspector Army, which has a total of five guards before the war, and the basic establishment of this guard is actually modeled after the infantry division of the Tang Army, and the traditional guard of the Ming Army is two different things.

Each guard has three to four thousand households, which is also not the same concept as the traditional thousand households of the Ming Army, this thousand households is basically equivalent to the regiment-level establishment of the Tang Army, and each thousand households has three to five battalions, which is not a battalion in the tradition of the Ming Army, the traditional battalion establishment of the Ming Army is generally very large, the scale of several thousand people, this battalion is actually the battalion-level establishment of the Tang Army.

There are 100 households under the battalion, which is equivalent to the team-level establishment of the Datang Army, and there are several flags under the 100 households, which are equivalent to the platoon-level establishment of the Datang Army.

Although the names are different, in fact, the establishment of the superintendent is very similar to that of the Tang Army!

It's just that because of some of their own reasons, their establishment is not very uniform, and some guards may have two thousand households, but some may have five or even six thousand households.

How much it depends on who this chief officer is.

For example, the Left Guard of the Left Army, that is, the Xiangyang Guard, has only 8,000 troops, and there are 3,000 households, and the number of troops is less than half of the avant-garde of the Left Army.

The left army avant-garde, this guard has a strength of 17,000 people, under the full 7,000 households, including four infantry households, one cavalry households, one artillery households, and one baggage households.

Yes, this avant-garde of the Left Army, judging from their establishment and composition, in addition to the different names and colors of military uniforms, many other aspects are actually copies of the Datang Army!

Because this army of Du Danqing's descendants is completely organized and trained according to the infantry division of the Tang Army, and even in order to gain an advantage, they have added an additional infantry thousand.

An infantry division of the Tang Army has only three infantry regiments, but the left army has four thousand infantry households!

Therefore, it is the same army, the same guard, and even thousands of households, but because of different commanders, their troops and equipment may be completely different, and the gap is huge.

The left guard of the left army was not as strong as other guards, but its combat effectiveness was not weak, and in the battle of Qishui, with an inferior force of 8,000 people, it blocked the bombardment of the Third Infantry Division for eight days.

Although the price of 2,000 people was paid, it only caused four or five hundred casualties to the Third Infantry Division, and the comparison of casualties was ugly, but in any case, they blocked the Third Infantry Division for eight days, and won valuable time for the Left Army to mobilize the main force to build the Huangzhou defense line!

It also confirmed that something very important to the Overlord was that their new defense system was effective.

More effective than the previous city defense system!

And this made Du Danqing full of confidence in the upcoming battle of Huangzhou!

He is confident that relying on the Huangzhou defense line, the second army of the puppet Tang thief army on the opposite side will be broken by blood!

And his confidence also gave Zhang Yue confidence!

Although it is said that the back road has been arranged, Zhang Yue has never thought of giving up Hubei, so he has tried his best to arrange the Hubei defense line, and now is the time to test this Hubei defense line.

And the recent performance of the Hubei defense line has made him quite pleased!

In a series of battles in Huangzhou Mansion, although it is said that his side still lost troops and lost generals, Zhang Yue is also a person who has seen a big scene, and after seeing the rout of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, he no longer has much feeling about the current battle that has lost tens of thousands of people.

For the early war in Huangzhou Mansion, he was not disappointed, but gratified!

Because he saw in it a way to curb the rapid advance of the Tang Army!

In recent years, he and a group of generals and staff under him have not been idle, they have been thinking about how to defend against the attack of the Tang Army every day!

In the end, they simply did plagiarism again!

They copied the chest wall defense and the trench system of the Tang Army!

The Tang Army began to play with breastop walls and trenches very early, mainly for field defense!

But now, the superintendent has added many things of his own to the simple trench and chest wall defense system, such as building a fortress.

These fortifications are basically civil fortifications, used to place artillery, these civil fortifications have a good bulletproof effect, even if it is a nine-pound solid cannonball, although a dozen holes, but in fact it is useless for the fortifications of the fortress, because the soil layer can well absorb the kinetic energy of the live shells.

And solid shells without kinetic energy basically have no lethality!

At the same time, in order to guard against the heavy howitzers with great lethality in the puppet Tang thief army, they began to use trenches and fortresses to defend against shrapnel damage, instead of staying directly on the city wall as they did before.

In order to prevent the infantry of the Tang Army from charging, they used muskets and shotguns to build a crossfire defense line!

And the defense system formed by these made them successful in the Battle of Qishui!

Although in the end the left guard of the left army was inevitably defeated, and thus retreated, it is undeniable that their defense was successful!

And now, Du Danqing is trying to replicate this defense system in the entire Huangzhou defense line!

For this reason, the commander of the Second Army of the Tang Army, Wang Chaohong has a headache!

He expected that the Governor Mingjun was playing the tactics of turtle speed and death, but now the Governor Mingjun had changed his defensive tactics, giving his troops the illusion of punching cotton with their fists!

After arriving at the city of Huangzhou, Wang Chaohong let the troops launch many attacks one after another, but the results of the early attack were not very good, and the battle was able to fight, and the casualties were not large!

But it's too time-consuming, and it's too much ammo!

Three days!

The 2nd Army advanced only a pitiful hundred meters!

God, this distance is just a short charge!

And if they want to reach the head of Huangzhou City, there are still more than 400 meters!
