Chapter 57: The Soldiers of the Seven Battalions

Because Duoyan City recruited battalion soldiers who did not have to engage in agricultural production and received money every month, it was extremely attractive to newly relocated farmers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info looked at the sturdy young men, and the recruiters in the recruiting office were very busy.

After thinking about it, Guan Shanyue felt that although the Daning Dusi had land, the biggest drawback of the guard system was that it was too restrictive of the flow of talents, and some people were not suitable for being soldiers at all, so why be reluctant. For the sake of long-term planning, he decided to organize these soldiers into battalions according to their respective specialties.

Excluding those veterans who were to be used as officers, he now had more than 7,000 Houjin soldiers who had already been accepted into the nominations, as well as 10,000 soldiers who had moved from Kuyi Island, more than 5,000 white pole soldiers and 10,000 newly recruited soldiers, a total of 32,000 soldiers.

Guan Shanyue felt that the effective range of firearms now was only 80 to 150 meters, which was not enough to replace the position of cold weapons on the battlefield. So he decided that the new recruits would adopt a two-legged walking strategy, with cold weapons as the main firearms as a supplement.

He told Wei Zhongxian, Setelye, Neiqi, Zai Sai and others about his thoughts, and after a few days of discussion, they decided to redivide these soldiers into seven battalions: Duoyan Battalion, Buyeo Battalion, Taining Battalion, Tiger Battalion, Heavenly Wolf Battalion, Divine Arrow Battalion, and Firearms Battalion. In the six battalions, except for the Sky Wolf Battalion, which has an establishment of 2,000 people, the other battalions, including the logistics personnel, have an establishment of 5,000 people.

Among the seven battalions, the Duoyan battalion, the Buyeo battalion, and the Taining battalion are mainly defensive guards. The Duoyan Battalion was formed by 5,000 white-pole soldiers who were capable of fighting well, and they were responsible for guarding Duoyan City in the core area of the Daning Division. The Buyeo Battalion was formed from 10,000 soldiers on Kuyi Island, and was responsible for guarding and cooperating with the people to build the Buyeo Acropolis. The Taining Battalion was formed by newly recruited soldiers and soldiers from Kuyi Island, and was responsible for guarding and cooperating with the people in the construction of the Taining Acropolis.

The remaining four battalions are equivalent to field armies, mainly attacking cities and conquering all directions. A soldier who has a skill and is good at fighting is called a skilled fighter by Guan Shanyue.

The Divine Arrow Battalion is composed of fierce and skilled shooters, wearing light armor and carrying a large number of arrows, good at maneuvering, equipped with bows, large bed crossbows and ladders, crash cars, etc., responsible for providing fire suppression and fire support, and undertaking siege tasks when necessary.

The Tiger Camp is composed of carefully selected fighters who stand out through layers of auditions, and this group of fighters who stand out is called a warrior. Only soldiers who wear heavy armor, can draw a twelve-stone crossbow bow, carry fifty arrows, add a spear, wear a helmet and a goose sword, carry three days of food, and can walk a hundred miles a day are qualified to become military soldiers.

The Sky Wolf Battalion is composed of elite warriors who are good at riding and archery, and the elite of this group is called Ruishi. Although the number of people in the Heavenly Wolf Camp is the smallest, it is the trump card of the Daning Dusi, and Guan Shanyue has high hopes.

The Firearms Battalion is based on the Kuvultures marksman, consisting mainly of 30,000 sharpshooters who are responsible for handling flint guns and Hongyi cannons. Guan Shanyue mainly wanted to use them to achieve the first feat, using the advanced equipment in his hand to surprise and attack his unpreparedness and catch the enemy by surprise. Although the firearms battalion is not the backbone of the Daning Dusi now, it is believed that in time, with the help of science and technology, it will definitely become a blockbuster.

After discussion, the Daning Dusi still retains the military positions of the guard system, from low to high: small flag, general flag, 100 households, 1000 households, Wei commander, and capital commander. After clarifying their respective affiliations, the group of soldiers plunged into intense training with high enthusiasm under the leadership of the veterans who survived the war with the Houjin.

Setel and Neiqi also took advantage of the peaceful days before the beginning of spring to lead the soldiers and people of the Taining battalion and the Buyeo battalion respectively to devote themselves to the construction of the city. According to the plan, after the successful reconstruction, Duoyan Sanwei, who became horns with each other, in addition to self-preservation, could also firmly strangle Houjin's neck and lock them up in Jianzhou.

A month and a half later, after solving the problems of shooting accuracy, weight, and sharpness under the improvement and trial production of the technicians of Guan Shanyue and Duoyancheng Arsenal day and night, the soldiers of the firearms battalion finally used flint muskets with bayonets. Don't look at the addition of a small bayonet, this was a big innovation at the time, and it finally solved the problem of self-protection after they encountered the enemy or ran out of bullets.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion, who had originally been dejected and thought that they had been overused, came to the spirit with the new guns newly made in the arsenal, and after designing, they brandished the new guns in their hands and used the cold and shining bayonets to stab the scarecrow in the shape of a human scarecrow.

After an offensive and defensive exercise, the soldiers of the Luohua Flowing Water Firearms Battalion, who were originally beaten by the Duoyan battalion, proved with their own strength that they were no longer the chicken ribs in the mouths of the soldiers of the other battalions.

Guan Shanyue lay on the city wall and looked at the soldiers who looked like little tigers, and he pondered that as long as he trained more, he could use the soldiers in his hands to give the Horqin Department a surgical decapitation operation. At that time, the Horqin tribe will be leaderless, and even if Houjin wants to rescue this ally, he may not be too late, and he has every chance to eat the entire Horqin tribe. The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he didn't know what came to mind, so he couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the children who were talking and laughing and playing in the city after school suddenly made a mess, and Guan Shanyue looked at it for a while before she knew that they were chasing a mouse. As soon as he thought of the rat, his heart suddenly chuckled, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the plague at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately fell into deep thought. He was a science student, majored in mechanical engineering in college, and it would be good to remember that there was a plague at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, he can still remember the year when the plague broke out.

Guan Shanyue leaned against the city wall, holding her chin and biting her lip lightly, thinking that the climate has become more and more arid in the past few years since she came to Daming, and there will be more and more rats on the grassland at that time, and some of these rats will definitely enter the Seinai. Once the plague spreads, no one will be spared, and even if the Daning Dusi builds several more cities, no matter how large the territory is, it will not help.

He looked at the golden sunset, and his affection became more and more solemn, "No matter how many cats you raise, you can't get rid of the mice in the entire grassland, because first of all, the Chahar Department will not bird my pot...... Hey, by the way, I can follow the example of eliminating the four evils and buy rat tails at a high price, once it is profitable, I believe that the people of Daning Dusi will rise up in groups, whether it is or not...... However, this is all a palliative treatment, although I know that it is an infectious disease, but I don't know how to treat it, or there are doctors to study and solve it, but where to find these doctors? ā€

At this time, the panting Ergouzi happily ran up from under the city, interrupting Guan Shanyue's contemplation, "Lord Guan, Lord Guan, a great thing, a great good thing." Don't you keep telling us that the most precious thing in this world is talent, you go down and take a look, just now I visited the Malay newspaper, saying that Francisco brought talents to our Daning Division. ā€

Guan Shanyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and tidied up her clothes, "Haha, let's go and take a look, let's see if the Daning Capital Division is developed or not in the future!" After saying that, he threw the plague out of the clouds, and ran under the city wall in a hurry.
