The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Qiang Di why complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.

Yumen Pass and Yangguan are the throat of the ancient land external traffic, is the pass that the Silk Road must pass, set up since the Western Han Dynasty, connected with the surrounding mountains and ravines, build city walls and fortifications, the regional Xiongnu and the Western Regions people invaded, it is a strategic place that the ancient soldiers must fight.

Because Yangguan Gusai was built in the desert and occupied the dangerous terrain of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", so when the two roads were divided this time, the Yangguan road army was led by Changsun Sheng, leading 100,000 troops, and the terrain on this side of Yumen Pass was not as steep and difficult to attack as Yangguan, so Yang Su personally sat in the town, with 200,000 mercenaries, and was the absolute elite main force of the Sui army.

The night was like water, the sky was full of stars, and Luo Zhaoyun lived in the tent of the squad in the scout camp where he was located.

The army of the Sui Dynasty implemented the government military system in peacetime, stationed in the localities, and was divided into hussar generals, chariot generals, metropolitan governors, marshal governors, metropolitan governors, and team leaders according to the establishment.

However, in wartime, it is necessary to reorganize the army, with the army as the combat unit, an army of about 20,000 people, and the 20,000 soldiers are generally divided into seven 'army' battalions, and the commander of each battalion can also be called the 'general manager'. There are 4,000 Chinese troops, of which 2,800 are selected combat soldiers, that is, 56 "teams", each team has 50 people, and it is also subdivided into 400 crossbowmen, 400 archers, 1,000 cavalrymen, 500 assault soldiers, and 500 odd soldiers (motorized troops).

In addition to the central army, there were also one army each on the left and one on the right, each with 2,800 men; There are four armies in each of the two armies on the left and right, each with 2,600 men, and the above seven armies have a total of 14,000 men, 220 teams, and there are still 6,000 people left.

When the whole army was stationed in the camp, 4,000 Chinese troops camped in the center, and the remaining six armies camped around the Chinese army in a six-sided shape.

Luo Zhaoyun's knowledge of these military brigades has been seen in some current books on the art of war, especially the marching guidelines of the Great Sui, he remembered it in advance, and knew that the military positions in the march were from fire commander, team leader, hundred commanders, captains, partial generals, second generals, and generals, with clear hierarchies.

Their scout battalion is actually the odd battalion in the seven small armies under the command of the left army, that is, the mobile troops, as scouts for intelligence, so it is called a regiment in the Chinese army, there are two left and right Yuhou armies, which are the second and third regiments, and there are four mobile corps in the two armies of the left and right side armies, which are the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh regiments, so that a left army has seven mobile corps.

However, the soldiers in the mobile corps are not all scouts, some are out-of-camp outposts, patrol posts, and internal patrol posts, and usually draw out 100 people and 10 fires as real scouts, go deep into the confrontation zone or enemy area to search for intelligence, observe the battle situation of the enemy army and their own side, and report at any time, so that the battalion owner and the general of the army can know the latest battle situation in time.

The commander of the left army is Qu Tutong, a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, whose father was the assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the seventeenth year of the emperor's opening, he was ordered by Yang Jian to inspect the horse farm in Longxi, found out more than 20,000 hidden horses, reported to the imperial court, Emperor Wen of Sui was furious after hearing the news, and wanted to behead the criminal minister and the servant Murong Siddha and more than 1,500 officials in charge.

In addition to his own Chinese army, the remaining six armies set up six commanders, under which there were a number of battalion owners, all of whom were served by generals and partial generals, who inspected the barracks at night and conducted spot checks on the layout of the camp, trenches, wooden stakes, and soldiers' weapons, which were very strict.

Luo Zhaoyun and other hundred scouts received the military order and were summoned in an open space, and the captain in charge of managing the mobile barracks appeared, his name was Zhou Hao, in his thirties, wearing a bright light armor, wearing a hood, draped with neck guards, shoulder guards, shawls, wearing a mattress robe, and two pieces of bright light armor embedded in the front chest.

Zhou Hao said: "Wait for a hundred people, for the three regiments of scouts of my right Yu Hou army, a total of ten fires, set up a hundred captains, ten fire commanders, the centurion has a candidate, his name is Lou Daifei, as for the fire chief, the old scout among you people serves as the fire commander, with rich experience, take you a hand, teach the taboos and precautions of scouts, etc." ”

At this time, Lou Daifei walked out, he was a little older, almost forty years old, short and stubby, quite burly, with a thick beard, a little black-faced Zhang Fei, pressed the handle of the knife, pulled open his voice and said: "From today on, you are all under my control, whether it is a recruit or a veteran oil, give me obedience to military orders, don't give me any moths." Go out to carry out the mission, you are brothers in life and death, in case of danger, work together, if anyone discards the robe and ignores it, runs away greedily for life and fear death, after returning, the military law will deal with it, and it will not be spared! ”

"Whoa!" Hundreds of people chanted, and the momentum was majestic.

Next, the centurion selected ten people from them to serve as the fire chief, and in each fire, the remaining nine people spontaneously formed three groups, each with a team leader, and the three of them chose by themselves, Luo Zhaoyun only served as an ordinary member because he looked too young, not even a team leader.

"Okay, let's assign the task next, first go out to the three fire squads, a sketch for each fire, the place you want to survey is the southwest of Yumen Pass, and it is also the lower left of our entire left army, go to survey the water source, and find out if there are enemy spies, this mission is a grind, and there will be a task to spy on the enemy's movements later."

Luo Zhaoyun and the others all knew that this was an internship exercise, let ten people go out to perform tasks to hone themselves, and the fire chief conveyed the scout experience by the way and gave a field explanation.

In an instant, Luo Zhaoyun's group was dispatched, and all of them rode out of the camp and rushed towards a mountainous area.

His fire chief is called Ji Chong, about thirty years old, he is a Xianbei person, and his parents of the previous generation entered the customs, so he is also a mixed-race person after the mixture of Hu and Han, living in the Lingzhou area, while riding a horse, he said: "Listen, dry scouts are dangerous, Lao Tzu has been in the army for seven years, hundreds of comrades-in-arms have died, most of them have encountered ambushes, or died in fighting when chasing and killing Turkic outposts, why can Lao Tzu live, because Lao Tzu is hard-lived, clever, and experienced!" ”

"You follow Lao Tzu, you must be obedient, respect me, and honor me, otherwise you will lose your life if you are given a hard job, you know?" This season, Chong saw that half of them were newly recruited government soldiers and had never fought in the frontier, so as veterans, they reprimanded and trained the recruits.

"That's that, Brother Ji, no, Huo Chang, what do you say, what we do, absolutely obey your orders!" A skinny soldier grinned and patted his ass.

Ji Chongming knew that this person was slapping the horse, but he was very useful, and said with a smile: "Now you can introduce yourself, where are you from, and what is your name." ”

"Huo Chang, my name is Ma Buchuan, a native of Gyeongju!" The skinny man still had a flattering smile.

"Ma Buchuan, the name is very interesting, don't wear it!" Ji Chong was amused.

"Huo Chang, in Xia Zhao Ting, a native of Fenzhou."

"In Xia Liang Yongkuan, a native of Longzhou."

"Huo Chang, my name is Helian Shu, Qiang nationality, Fuzhou people."

"Luo Cheng, a native of Youzhou."

When nine people have reported their names and made a brief introduction, they are six Han people, one Xianbei people, one Qiang people, one Tiele people, since the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, five Hu Chaohua, since the Hu and Han mixed in the northern region for more than 100 years, whether it is Han people or Hu people, the concept is integrated, ordinary people basically don't care much about what ethnic composition, are the people of the Great Sui.
