PS: Thank you for the reward from the book friend Water Margin!

At that moment, Lin Chong continued: "In addition, another engineering battalion will be set up, which will be responsible for building Liangshan city walls, roads, digging ports, repairing waterways, and opening rivers, and the specific number of people is not limited, and it will be led by the Tao Zongwang brothers......"

Lu Jiang and the others nodded, the Tao Zongwang brothers were originally from Zhuanghu, and they were good at building city wall fortifications when they were in Huangmen Mountain, and it was very suitable to lead the engineering battalion.

Moreover, after the beginning of spring, the population of Liangshan increased greatly, and the house was indeed a little nervous; There are many rivers in the harbor outside Yangsan Island, but many of them are small roads that can only pass two or three boats side by side, which is not conducive to the entry and exit of large armies, and it is indeed necessary to sort it out.

"Three more battalions of field horse armies were added, the fifth battalion was a reinforced battalion with a number of eight hundred, and the other two battalions were ordinary battalions with a number of five hundred. Zhang Qing brothers, Ding Desun and Gong Wang brothers served as the main deputy generals of the fifth battalion;

The Sun An brothers served as the commander-in-chief of the sixth battalion, and the Cui Ye brothers were the deputy generals; Tang Bin brothers served as the commander of the seventh battalion, and Wen Zhongrong brothers were deputy generals; Brother Guo Sheng is the adjutant general of the first battalion of the guard battalion.

In this way, there are 4,700 horse troops in the field horse army of our Liangshan Army plus the Beiwei Army, and the horse army with the guard battalion, according to the calculation of one person and two horses on the back, how many war horses are there? ”

General Lu pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "Brother, before my Liangshan army went down the mountain this time, there were more than 2,800 war horses, and in this combat mission, 2,862 war horses were captured in Yunzhou, and 1,200 war horses in Jeju Huang'an and Dong Ping's department were all covered by us;

Later, Zengtou City captured a total of more than 3,200 war horses, as well as 430 war horses brought by the Tang Bin brothers from Baoqian Mountain, and 86 war horses brought by the Ou Peng brothers from Huangmen Mountain, and now our Liangshan army has a total of 10,600 war horses.

If we add the 3,000 foals seized from Zengtou City, according to Mr. Huangfu, 1,000 of them are close to adulthood, and they can be used as war horses after half a year of training, so that our Liangshan Army now has a total of 11,600 war horses! There are also more than 4,300 horses, and the exact number is for Mr. Gao. ”

It's not that I don't know, as soon as I heard General Lu say that now the Liangshan Army actually has so many war horses, everyone on the ferry cheered at once, especially some old people from the Liangshan Army, who were even more emotional.

I think that when the Liangshan Army first became an army, there were only 660 war horses, and only two horse army field camps could be opened.

Not to mention how embarrassing the situation was at that time, who would have thought that in less than half a year, Liang Shanjun had more than 10,000 war horses at once, and on average, every knight in all horse armies was equipped with two horses, and there was still a surplus.

Lin Chong was also overjoyed, and even made a decision: "In this way, each battalion of infantry soldiers will also be equipped with corresponding horses in a ratio of four to one, and then adjust the training syllabus, so that these infantry soldiers will also draw out some people every day to practice horseback riding in different periods, and the instructor will select some good performers from the group of Jurchen captives to teach!" ”

General Lu and Du Yan nodded and said that they had written it down, but they asked questions: "Brother, let the infantry practice horseback riding, what's the use of this?" ”

"Of course it is useful, the cavalry is suitable for short-distance rapid maneuvering, or long-distance running, long-distance roundabout, and when the infantry army learns to ride a horse, we can turn the infantry into a horse-mounted infantry army and the cavalry to carry out the task of mobile strikes together."

General Lu thought for a while, and said a little suddenly: "This is exactly the tactics of the former Tang cavalry to dismount and fight on foot to defeat the enemy formation, and then get on the horse to pursue!" If this can be done, our Liangshan army can be turned into a fast mobile force, coming and going like the wind, and attacking it unprepared! ”

Lin Chong nodded, in fact, in the subsequent historical trajectory, when the Jurchens destroyed the Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, they often used the tactics of dismounting and foot warfare, which is also an important manifestation of the courage and flexibility of this nation.

Nima, it's like a hanging, their soldiers dismount and put on heavy armor is heavy cavalry, on horses is heavy cavalry, and when they take off heavy armor, they are light cavalry; Their generals are also natural generals, their tactics are flexible and changeable, they are like gods, and they are extremely confident, and they are simply how to fight and win for a long time.

In particular, the Jurchen god of war finished Yan Lou's room, and a partial division swept through the northwest, and the elite of the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed in his hands.

This guy even led more than 10,000 Jurchen troops to break through 30,000 Western troops in Wugong in the early morning in one day, 30,000 righteous troops in the vicinity (near Xi'an City) at noon, and 150,000 Wuwei Song troops in Weinan at night.

——Martial arts to the near land and then to Weinan, a distance of more than 250 miles.

This mobility, this combat effectiveness, terrible......

Lin Chong retracted his thoughts and continued: "In addition to these, another battalion of the Ma Army Reserve Battalion will be set up to train the seedlings of the Ma Army, which will be led by Deng Fei, and An Shilong will be his deputy.

In addition, the heavy axe soldiers were expanded to 800 people, and the sword and shield soldiers were expanded to two battalions, the first battalion was commanded by Fan Rui, and the deputy commander was Li Gon; The commander of the second battalion was Xiang Chong, and the deputy commander was Shi Wei.

Three more battalions of infantry were added, each battalion had 1,000 people, the first battalion was commanded by Xu Ning, the second battalion was commanded by Shan Tingjue, the third battalion was commanded by Wei Dingguo, and Deng Fei's battalion of crossbowmen was divided into these three battalions, and the rest were selected from each battalion and supplemented from the training of recruits.

Finally, there was a military justice department, with Shuangdaotoutuo as the director, responsible for supervising the discipline of each battalion, rewarding and punishing ...... for meritorious service."

After Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Yang Lin and others went up the mountain, Meng Kang was responsible for supervising the construction of large and small warships, Yang Lin partnered with Shi Xiu and was responsible for finding out the news, while Deng Fei brought a battalion of crossbowmen, and Hebei generals An Shilong and Shi Wei gave him his deputy.

However, this sword and shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, and heavy axe soldiers are not absolute, Lin Chong's requirements for the Liangshan army infantry army are to know everything, bend bows and arrows, slash with knives, and line up spear formations, these are all compulsory subjects, but their respective focuses are different.

Therefore, Deng Fei's battalion of crossbowmen was scattered to the other 3 battalions, and he would not be uncomfortable.

Lin Chong said this, the positions to be arranged are almost arranged, others such as Xu Guanzhong, who is a staff officer and deputy chief instructor, have long been vacant; And Huangfu Duan is a professional, a professional talent, the position of stable manager, and chief veterinarian has long been arranged.

At this moment, I heard Wang Feiyu scratch his ears and cheeks a little anxiously: "Brother, why don't you have my name, brother, don't you want me anymore?" ”

Everyone burst out laughing, and Lin Chong also looked back at him with a smile and said, "I'm going to set up another personal guard battalion to charge with me, and the number of people is less than ten now, can you come?" ”

"Come on! Why not come? I'll follow my brother from now on! ”

As soon as he heard that Lin Chong hadn't forgotten him and put him beside him, the young man immediately jumped up with joy, but forgot that it was on the boat, and only shook the ferry a little at the moment, which only caused everyone to laugh.

However, Lin Chong was careful, he keenly found that everyone was laughing, but only Lu Zhishen, who had always been very bold, was not too interested, Lin Chong couldn't help but condense in his heart, the secret path had just won a big victory, how could this reckless monk who came and went without concern seem to have something on his mind?

But there is no way to ask him on the ship now.
