Chapter 121: Light Cavalry
"Two thousand men and horses, such a whole, there are only four hundred and five left, and even one battalion is not satisfied, which is a big loss." The fourth child was still worried about the strength of the soldiers and the horses, how could he be the leader of the hook and sickle team, and at least he should be promoted to a regimental captain.
As a result, for a long time, he was still the leader of the team, still in charge of his fifty hook and sickle men.
The only thing that has changed a little is that his fifty people are a little more equipped, at least the captain has been equipped with a horizontal knife, and the captain has added a two-piece armor. He himself is now full of bows and horses, but the people are still those fifty.
"What, there are fewer suspects, or is the position low? Why don't I give you a regimental commander? ”
"Yes." The fourth laughed.
"Then you go and bring an auxiliary regiment, and seven regiments are up to you."
"No, no." When the fourth child heard this, he immediately shook his head.
The auxiliary regiment is a waste wood regiment, and no matter how many people there are, they can't get a mouthful of soup to drink.
Zhang Xutuo heard Jia Wuben's report that Luo Cheng had reorganized 2,000 men and horses, and from them, the strong ones were drawn out to form nine battle teams, and then the rest were organized into seven auxiliary regiments, and another 200 people were selected to take over the errand of Zhangqiu's official service.
"Jumping Team, Vanguard Team, Scout Team, Park Knife Team, Fishing Scythe Team, Big Shield Throwing Team, Sword Team, Bow and Crossbow Team, Spear Team. Listening to the name, you can know that Luo Cheng's nine teams have a clear division of labor, and the various arms are well matched, and the use of good steel on the blade shows that Luo Cheng is still very sober. Zhang Xutuo praised.
"This kid was born a general, I thought that if he was given 2,000 men, he would scatter his subordinates into various teams, but I didn't expect him to do the opposite."
Zhang Xutuo said, "When Runpu came to Zhangqiu, I pulled out a team of veterans to him, and as a result, he scattered these people to be the head of the captain's team, and as a result, more than 30 veterans were mixed into hundreds of farmers, and they suddenly disappeared from the public. ”
"What else does Luo Cheng do?"
"He had a lot of flags come out." When Jia Wuben said this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Luo Cheng hurriedly produced a large number of flags, and they were all kind, not the kind of flags that would be the flags, after all, there were already these in the Sui army. Every senior officer has an exclusive general flag, on which the officer's surname is usually written. Each team, brigade, regiment, and battalion also has its own flag, and has a special flag bearer and flag guard.
Below the team, there is generally no flag.
But now what Luo Cheng asked people to make is for the team below.
"Luo Cheng made a lot of flags, and each has its own color, there are five positive five rooms and ten colors."
In ancient times, the ancients divided the color into two colors, the positive color is the five pure colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black, and the intermediate color refers to cyanosis (red and cyan), red (light red), ethereal (light cyan), purple, and yellow (brownish-yellow).
The auxiliaries used the yellow, and the soldiers used the other nine colors as their flags.
Nine warring teams, each of which is distinguished by a color.
Not only that, Luo Cheng also asked the gang leaders to put a small back flag of the same team flag color on their backs to distinguish their identities.
The captain is a small helmet with a helmet on top of it.
As for the team leader, each team has a team flag, and a flag bearer carries the flag to follow him.
Luo Cheng worked hard to get these colored flags, the purpose was to facilitate command and facilitate the soldiers to follow their superiors.
After all, as soon as the battle starts, the battlefield is chaotic, and more than 100 people are fighting, and it is not enough to shout with your mouth and look at it with your eyes.
In order to keep these newly formed soldiers out of order, and to facilitate the command of the battle, Luo Cheng asked the captain to plant a small flag on his back and a small flag on the helmet of the commander.
In this way, the soldiers of a group can find their captain at a glance, and the soldiers of a group can easily recognize their captain.
And the officers in charge of command can also use these officer flags to find their own troops, judge the position, number, and so on.
Originally, he planned to get some badges and shoulder titles at first, but he felt that it was not too conspicuous and could not achieve his goal, so he simply made flags in the end.
In fact, he didn't invent these flags and helmets.
The heralds planted their flags on their backs.
In fact, the Japanese soldiers carried the flag on their backs, and they were the first to learn from China.
If it weren't for the conditions, Luo Cheng even planned to change the clothes of the nine teams to the corresponding colors, but the cost of dyeing and printing purple and crimson was very expensive, so Luo Cheng didn't think about it, just dye a flag.
"It's very smart, Luo Cheng's vanguard team is not well trained and cooperative. Coming up with this method can effectively make up for the shortcomings. Zhang Xutuo praised it.
"This little guy always has all kinds of strange ideas, and he is really smart."
"Luo Cheng's current soldiers have nine teams, only 450 people, and they don't even have enough 500 people in a battalion, so let's just pull out another 50 people for him, and pull out 50 light cavalry for him."
"Juncheng, let's expand day and night, and the cavalry team is only 200 riders." Jia Wuben was amazed by Zhang Xutuo's generosity.
"The light cavalry is a sharp knife, and now Luo Cheng is the vanguard, and he will pull out fifty light cavalry to him, and it is also good steel to use on the blade. Tell Luo Cheng that these 500 people will be regarded as the reorganized Zhangqiu County Barracks, let him lead it well, and when the bandits in Changbai Mountain are exterminated, I will definitely strongly recommend him to officially serve as the lieutenant of Zhangqiu County. ”
Zhang Xutuo is refreshing.
Fifty light horsemen were pulled off the same day.
When Jia Wuben came over with fifty horses, Luo Cheng was parading the battle team.
Although the quality of the soldiers in the nine combat teams that have just been pulled up is good, after all, they have all just been reorganized, and many of the team members don't even know each other.
"Daddy!"
Jia Runpu saw that his father was coming, and hurriedly greeted him.
As a result, Lao Jia didn't look at him, "Shicheng, you see what good things I brought you, fifty light horses, Jun Cheng specially transferred it to you." ”
Luo Cheng saw that fifty knights wearing two dang armor, carrying horizontal knives at their waists, and carrying horned bows were straddling mules, with an elite spirit.
"Plucked for me?"
"Well, Jun Cheng said, don't you have nine war teams, then give you another cavalry team, so that you can just gather ten teams of five hundred people, and these five hundred people will be the Zhangqiu County Barracks in the future, let you take it well."
Fifty light horsemen riding on mules, although they are not horses, but these mules are also very tall, and the light horses of the mules are also light horses.
Even if these are the light cavalry newly recruited and trained by Zhang Xutuo to the Qi County soldiers, they are much stronger than his township soldiers.
"Don't underestimate these mules, these mules are no worse than war horses when they cross mountains and mountains, and even in the mountains, they are stronger than war horses and have more endurance. If you use it well, it is a valuable combat force. ”
"Understood, thank you Juncheng, thank you Captain Jia."
Luo Cheng was grateful.
In this way, his subordinates really made up ten teams of five hundred men and horses, a complete county barracks.
"Shicheng, now you are also a soldier, and Jun Cheng hopes that you will take the lead in attacking in three days and be the vanguard of the army, is it okay?"
"Three days later? No problem! ”
At this time, even if there is a problem, it has to be said that there is no problem, after all, the support given by Jun Cheng is enough, and it is time for him to perform.
Seeing Lao Jia away, Luo Cheng called his second brother-in-law, Wang Ziming.
"Brother-in-law, you send an invitation to the big families who raised money and food for us before, and say that I will invite them to a banquet tomorrow."
"Why are you inviting them to dinner?"
"Of course, before leaving, I will raise some money from them."
These people are uneasy and kind to him, and they wish that Luo Cheng would send troops as soon as possible, and if Luo Cheng asks them for money before sending troops, I believe they are willing to do so.
This is a rare opportunity, and I can't let it go!
