As early as after the summer harvest, as many as 100 teams have already begun to compete.

From the regional competitions in various places, all the way to the finals of Liaodong City.

In the end, the top eight teams were decided, the most lively of which was naturally Luo Shixin's Muniu Liuma team, as well as Zhao Gui's vanguard team and Murong Changsheng's white horse team.

However, the other five teams that came in were also very good.

Before the finals, Luo Cheng even officially issued a prize guess by the Jiedu Embassy, which was actually a bet. However, it is issued by the official and sets the odds, and at the same time, private lottery is strictly prohibited.

The finals were extremely intense, and the people and business travelers after the summer harvest were very happy to watch, and the bets were also very enthusiastic.

Of course, Luo Cheng also announced early that all the money would be used for the expenses of the Yi'er Camp in the end, and now the scale of the Yi'er Camp is even larger, not only for the dead to adopt and raise stepsons, but also for the comprehensive nature of orphanages and juvenile military academies, and now the scale of the Yi'er Camp has reached a huge scale of more than 5,000 people, both boys and girls.

The boys and girls are divided into camps, the so-called camp is actually just the previous name, in fact, now the Yi'er camp is established outside the city of Liaodong, there is a special camp city, which is equivalent to an acropolis in Liaodong, this Yi'er camp is composed of three relatively independent castles, divided into the Yi'er camp and the camp headquarters.

The righteous girls learn literature and martial arts, and the righteous girls are mainly literary, supplemented by martial arts, and only practice some fitness in martial arts, in addition to the addition of female workers embroidery and arithmetic, etc., the righteous girls are orphans, generally sent in under the age of seven, after five years of study, sent to the schools in each tun to teach, teach for three years, and then return to the camp to teach and lead the team.

After two more years in the camp, arrangements began to be made.

Generally, they marry officers of the loyal army, especially young officers who are also from the Yi'er battalion.

Now, those teenagers who came out of the Yi'er camp at the beginning, except for most of them who are still serving as attendant officers in the Zhongwu Army, or have been delegated to the team to serve as deputy fire captains, are now by Luo Cheng's side, and even a team of gold guns and silver crossbows composed of Yi'er guards has even been formed.

There are 300 people in this city, all of whom are composed of Yi'er, divided into the golden gun class and the silver crossbow class, and they are Luo Cheng's close guards.

The Yi'er Battalion, which is getting bigger and bigger, is very valued by Luo Cheng, but except for the Yi'er who walked out of the camp, the Yi'er and the righteous daughter of the camp are not included in the quota of the Loyal Army.

In fact, since the return of King Qin, Luo Cheng has begun to readjust the deployment of the loyal army.

The Zhongwu Army has a number of 50,000 soldiers, stationed in the six counties of Andong Province, and its duty is to guard the frontier outside the pass, and there is no need to undertake the duties of entering the capital and guarding the border pass.

They moved to the outside of the border and defended Liaodong.

Plilling and fighting.

In general, it is much better than in the past, in the past, the garrison military towns in the frontier were transferred to the Central Plains government soldiers to come over in rotation, or once a year or two years, the town soldiers were in the Central Plains, and each time they took turns to come, they only defended for one year at a time, resulting in the military towns on the frontier, in fact, they have been unstable.

Now the loyal army has brought all the families to Liaodong, and even divided the fields and granted land here, so guarding the border is guarding the family, although it is also in rotation, but it is still this army of soldiers and horses.

But there are shortcomings.

First of all, although the number of troops in the loyal army is 51,000, the number of troops is allocated to each county, such as 24,000 in Liaodong County, 9,000 in Lushun, etc.

In Luo Cheng's view, in fact, the six counties of Andong Province have a large territory, but they are not facing the same military pressure. The two counties of Liucheng and Liaoxi in western Liaoning are mainly bordered by Xi and Khitan, but now the two are attached to the Great Sui, so there is no pressure.

You don't need to have too many troops there.

On the contrary, the front line of Liaodong is much more stressful.

Especially on the border with Goguryeo, more soldiers and horses should be stationed, and as the hinterland of the Liaohe Plain, there is actually no need for too many troops to garrison.

Therefore, Luo Cheng is planning now, that is, to guard the outside and the inside.

The main forces were deployed to the border line, that is, the mountainous line, and in the plain areas on both sides of the Liao River, only the garrisons of those big cities were focused on as a mobile force.

Under this line of thinking, Luo Cheng intended to break the limit on the number of soldiers in each county.

51,000 government soldiers and 49,000 county soldiers, a total of 100,000 troops, he had to rearrange.

The military establishment of the Great Sui is generally of two kinds, one is the establishment of the government soldiers when they are stationed, and the establishment of the training, which is the fire brigade and regimental government, with ten people in one fire, five fire and fifty people in one team, one brigade and two teams of 100 people, one regiment and two teams of 200 people, and one government is four to six regiments, 800 to 1,200 people.

In the event of war, a part of the troops and horses will be drawn from the various military offices to assemble at the designated location, and then they will have to be reorganized.

In wartime, the unit is still based on fire, but a team has become a hundred, and above the team is a regiment or battalion, a cavalry regiment of 1,000 men, or an infantry regiment of 2,000 men.

Above the regiment, there is a box, and there is an army above the box. An army ranged from 12,000 to 20,000 men.

In fact, the establishment is prepared for combat.

In fact, the different formations are designed to adapt to the tactical thinking of different periods.

For example, in the era of muskets where platoons were shot, there was such an organization as platoons and companies, and it was because of that era that muskets were most powerful when they were fired in volleys in rows, so the platoon unit appeared.

Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, there are eight arrays handed down, these eight arrays are not actually a fantasy gossip array, on the contrary, he is a kind of military array combat formation, the eight arrays are improved on the basis of the five armies model of the Han Dynasty.

The five armies are the front, center, left and right five army formations, and the five army formations simply divide an army into five parts: front, rear, left, center, and right.

The eight arrays are divided into nine parts, which is similar to the well field system in the Zhou Dynasty, the well field system in the Zhou Dynasty is to divide a piece of land into nine pieces, and the outer eight pieces are given to the eight people, and then the middle piece belongs to the government, and the eight people plant their own land, and then cooperate to plow this piece of the government, and the harvest is returned to the public, which is the well field system.

Zhuge 's eight-array diagram is on this tic-tac-toe formation, the army is divided into nine parts, each of the eight parts occupies a piece, and then the remaining one is the part led by the commander-in-chief, acting as the role of the general reserve.

Coincidentally, Luo Cheng's teacher Zhang Xutuo has an eight-wind array that can attack and defend.

These Eight Wind Arrays, in fact, are similar to Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations, all of which change the past five armies into eight armies plus one reserve.

According to the art of war, the nine pieces of land divided into tic-tac-toe are the places of the phalanx, and the five armies only occupy five or five positions on the left and right sides of them, while the four corners of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest are idle land, and the four idle ones are not used, and only five formations are occupied, which is the law of the five armies.
