"Risaki"

"Take a break"

"One Step Forward – Walking"

"Disband—"

Zhang Qiang turned around, took the towel handed over by the family next to him, and wiped the sweat on his face.

It's another week.

The 100 musketeers, 30 sword players, and 20 pikemen in his hands have been built by Zhang Qiang to be more elite.

The best equipment: Ming Huang silver iron armor vest, scale armor gauntlets, Ming army pot helmet, newly made Ming army black combat boots.

The best weapons: Portuguese arquebus, newly crafted sharp Ming army waist knife, iron spear, tiger stripe leather iron shield, new javelin for throwing, throwing axe.

As for the other troops, Zhang Qiang also wanted to train, but he found that the effect was not good, and the progress was slow, and he found that his elite soldier rapid training skills were only effective for the soldiers under his command, and for soldiers who exceeded this number.

It's not that he can't train them, but in terms of speed, the difficulty is much higher, and there is no bonus to coaching skills.

Zhang Qiang's pro-army auxiliaries, called combat auxiliaries, were served by one hundred and fifty tall and strong soldiers, some of whom were veterans of the Ming army's surrender and captives, and some were elite soldiers selected from the righteous soldiers and You Haibo's family after the bloody battle of Jinhua.

The reason for this choice is because Zhang Qiang has to master the most elite combat force and stabilize his position, after all, he was alone when he came, and he can't guarantee when he will be betrayed by others, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was beheaded by his subordinates and dedicated to the Qing army.

How to say it, after experiencing Zhu Dadian's divine turn, he has no sense of security in this world.

Zhou Congee walked in, "My lord, what are you looking for?" ”

"Well, I have replaced all the good Portuguese arquebuses brought out from Zhufu into the hands of my own soldiers, and the remaining ones are a little faulty, but there are more than thirty arquebuses that have been repaired, and the ninety good arquebuses that have been replaced are ready to be handed over to your subordinates, so that your two hundred soldiers will also become a firearms unit."

Zhou Congee said with some reluctance: "My lord, why don't you give Xuanyuan Longfei, I think it's better for you to give me some more fine armor and weapons, those muskets are fired very slowly, and after one or two rounds, the enemy has already rushed to the front, facing the enemy's elite troops, and even cavalry, that is, looking for death." ”

"Forget it, you go down!" Zhang Qiang waved his hand.

Zhou Congee was a little unsatisfied, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and when he saw Zhang Qiang's cold face, he immediately bowed down and retreated.

After a while, Xuanyuan Long Fei walked in, "My lord, what are you looking for your subordinates, I am collecting taxes for adults in the surrounding villages, and I rushed back after receiving an order from my lord." ”

Zhang Qiang said: "I want to turn your soldiers into firearms units like my own soldiers, are you willing?" Zhang Qiang casually picked up the tea handed over by the guard, took a sip, felt the heat of the tea, turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Longfei, and waited for his answer.

"My lord, this, you also know, I like spears and war horses, or will you let me swap Hu Kui?"

Xuanyuan Longfei said cautiously with a grinning smile on his face.

"This can't be done, you don't have Hu Kui's skills," Zhang Qiang waved his hand.

Xuanyuan Long Fei said: "My lord, if this doesn't work, you can hand over the iron spears and broadswords of other troops to my soldiers, let my soldiers become a pikemen, and also defend you against the enemy's cavalry, you also know that without pikemen in front, the enemy's cavalry will rush to your musketeers at once, and after two rounds, the muskets will be useless." ”

Zhang Qiang sighed, these people are the ancients, I don't know if it will be the world of firearms in the future, nodded slightly: "I will arrange it, you go down!" ”

After Xuanyuan Long flew down, Zhang Qiang thought about it, Xuanyuan Longfei was right, the current musket is too slow after all, and when he fights in the future, the enemy will definitely send cavalry troops to attack against his musket troops, muskets can block a considerable number of enemy infantry, but can not block all the cavalry, or need the protection of pikemen, so he called a herald and asked him to convey his orders to meet Xuanyuan Longfei's requirements.

After a while, Wei Wuji walked in, "My lord." After saying a word, he stood up in front of Zhang Qiang and stopped talking.

"Well, I want to turn your men into musketeers, and give you all the muskets I replaced, would you?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Follow your orders." Wei Wuji shouted like an indifferent soldier.

"Well, yes, go down and follow the herald to the warehouse managed by You Haibo to get the muskets, but the muskets may not be enough, you leave a part of the sword players to protect the musketeers, and leave a queue of fifty pikemen to prevent the impact of the enemy's cavalry."

"Yes, my lord." Wei Wuji bowed and retreated.

Zhang Qiang likes such obedient soldiers.

Zhang Qiang touched his chin, since Zhou Congee didn't want to become a musketeer, and Xuanyuan Longfei's proposal was not bad, Xuanyuan Longfei had automatically turned into a pikeman, then Zhou Congee's troops needed to become archers who could cover pikemen, well, they couldn't completely become archers, they had to leave some sword players and spearmen to protect the archers, so let his troops become infantry dominated by archers.

Hu Kui's cavalry was not allowed to make major adjustments, only needed to equip them with sophisticated weapons, with the towing of war horses, they could take more weapons, carry bows and arrows, and harass the enemy from a distance; Carrying a shield on his back, he can play a protective role, and he can also dismount and become an infantry knife player, with a saber, he can charge face to face with the enemy; Equipped with a riding gun, the power is even greater; In this case, they would become a pure cavalry force.

At the same time, they also had to serve as scout cavalry, scouting from afar.

You Haibo is in charge of civil affairs, and there are twenty cavalry servants and fifty officials under his command, which is enough to manage a small Wuyi county seat.

Zhang Qiang alone led one hundred and fifty pro-troops, one hundred and fifty combat auxiliaries, plus Hu Kui's fifty cavalry and three hundred and fifty soldiers, forming a main combat force with strong combat effectiveness.

There are not many soldiers.

Now, the four subordinates, Xuanyuan Longfei, Zhou Congee, Wei Wuji, and Du Ge, are all two hundred and fifty people.

The extra 400 people, Zhang Qiang let them go home, they are all old and weak, and the people also need men to work in their homes.

In peacetime, the four subordinates were responsible for guarding the four gates and the city wall, and in wartime, they followed Zhang Qiang's main combat force to fight, and when they went out to fight, two hundred soldiers went into battle, and the remaining fifty soldiers were left behind in the city, and when necessary, they could be used as baggage troops to transport supplies for the army.

If the county seat is in crisis and Zhang Qiang can't return for reinforcements from the battle, You Haibo or the generals who stayed behind can re-recruit those people who have been trained for a week to go to the city to assist in the defense.

There were more than 470 guards in the city.

Maybe Zhang Qiang will also mobilize a team of men and horses to come back to participate in the defense depending on the situation, or let his own pro-army combat auxiliaries come back to participate in the work of defending the city, and there will be 620 guards in the city.

In total, Zhang Qiang's combatable troops are 1,150 troops.

The number of remaining troops is 70 to 270, and if it is urgent, another 400 can be called up.
