Section 5 Large-scale military training through reorganization

At night, before the enthusiasm of the whole army and military exercises during the day had not dissipated, Liu Yunwei summoned Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao to continue to discuss the reorganization matters.

Liu Yunwei looked at the five tiger generals under him, laughed and said, "Brothers, before discussing the reorganization strategy, I will announce one thing. ”

Zhao Kaishan's broken voice took over and said, "Big brother, is our farewell down?" ”

"Haha, I didn't see it, you Zhao Daaxe is still an official fan, so anxious?" Wen Poyu teased.

"Of course I'm in a hurry, I can only be justified when I come down, and I can lead the troops into battle, aren't you in a hurry?"

"The axe is in a hurry to kill the tartars." Liu Yunwei said with a smile, "That's right, your sue has come down, and you are all the president." ”

The crowd rejoiced.

Lu Ying asked, "What is the charter of the big brother this time?" ”

Liu Yunwei said slowly: "I have been thinking about the battles in Changning Fort and Donggou Village. I still remember the toughness of Jiannu, but our family is also strong, Wu Xing's extermination array, and the broken horse lance cavalry can restrain Jiannu very well. ”

Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao and others all agreed with this and nodded incessantly.

Wen Poyu frowned tightly and said, "What the eldest brother said is very right, but there is one point that is very difficult to do. Whether it is the extermination array or the horse lance cavalry, it is very difficult to train, according to the current situation, do we have enough time to train? ”

Liu Yunwei also thought of this and said: "This is true, but Jiannu's vest and infantry armor are also not easy to train, my Ming population is hundreds of millions, and it is far easier to replenish soldiers than Jiannu." ”

"That's right, even if you fight with people's lives, you can also fight Jiannu out!" Zhao Kaishan said fiercely, as if Jiannu was in front of him.

Liu Yunwei continued: "The Extermination Array and the Horse Lance Cavalry must be rebuilt, but the scale does not have to be too large, these two elite soldiers must be used as our killer weapons. ”

Wen Poyu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's not a big problem. ”

Liu Yunwei opened a document and said: "This is the reorganization plan I planned, let me talk about it, let's discuss it, and come together to serve as a staff officer." ”

"Okay." Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao all looked at Liu Yunwei eagerly.

Liu Yunwei read according to the plan: "At present, the battalion has a total of 2,650 soldiers, divided into five headquarters, and the specific establishment of each headquarters is as follows:

Five people are a team, with a team commander, and a total of five people in a team;

The four teams are a team, with an additional captain, and a team of 21 people;

The five teams are one sentry, and one hundred total is added, with a total of one hundred and six people;

The five posts are one general, and one is added to the general, which is filled by you, a total of five hundred and thirty soldiers.

In addition, I have obtained an additional 500 men from the General Military Office, and the General Military Office will serve as my personal guard. Together, there were 3,150 men in the battalion. ”

"Haha, big brother is a good method, he will dig up half of the family members of the General Military Mansion at once." Zhao Kaishan said with a smile.

Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, I appoint: Lu Ying is the general of the first general, and he is in charge of the crossbowmen of the thousand headquarters; Wu Xing served as the general general of B, commanded the heavy infantry of the thousand headquarters, and rebuilt the extermination array; Zhao Kaishan and Li Tianhao served as the general of C and Ding respectively, and each commanded an infantry headquarters; Wen Poyu served as the general commander of Wu, commanded the cavalry, rebuilt the horse lance cavalry, and took into account the night. ”

Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao shouted together: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Liu Yunwei said: "From today onwards, the equipment of all departments will be delivered to the battalion one after another, you must pay close attention to training, at most two months, I will see a tiger and wolf army that can fight well!" ”

"Order!"

After more than a month, Liu Yunwei buried himself in the barracks and trained with all the soldiers. During this period of time, Wu Xing formed a sentry force to destroy the army, Wen Poyu also formed a sentry of horse lance cavalry, in view of Lu Ying's headquarters concentrated all the crossbowmen of the thousand headquarters, and the melee combat was weak, Liu Yunwei also drew a sentry from the headquarters to change the sentry to a knife and axeman.

At the end of July of the forty-fourth year of Wanli.

Liu Yunwei inspected the training and equipment of the various headquarters, and constantly collected insufficient equipment and materials for his subordinates, believing that the training of his subordinates had achieved initial results, so he pulled the five headquarters under his command out of the city for field training.

Outside the city of Liaoyang, on the bank of the nameless river.

Liu Yunwei has been leading the army to train in the field for more than ten days. During this period, Liu Yunwei led his subordinates to carry out training such as mountain ambushes, marching camps, searching for enemies in the field, and night raids.

"Big brother, our training is too hard, let alone training camp soldiers, even the trainers are not like this, are we resting?"

Liu Yunwei looked at the soldiers who were practicing crossing the river, and said without looking back: "Now that I know that the training is hard, I will be able to survive on the battlefield in the future and win the battle!" ”

Wen Poyu also said on the side: "Big brother, we all understand this truth, but the soldiers below have undergone such a large amount of training, can they afford it?" Morale will take a hit. ”

"That's right." Liu Yunwei nodded.

Everyone was overjoyed, but then they were deflated, only to hear Liu Yunwei say: "The herald orders that from today onwards, every meal must have meat, and every day every Wu will be given a spoonful of wine." There is wine and meat to entertain, so that there will be no problems with morale. ”

Liu Yunwei looked at the sun and said to the herald on the side: "Let Mr. Ding, who crosses the river, speed up." ”

"Order!"

Zhao Kaishan and Lu Ying saw that Liu Yunwei ignored everyone's suggestions, so they stopped persuading each other.

In the middle of the night, all the headquarters had already crossed the river, and Liu Yunwei beckoned Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu to cross the river together.

Liu Yunwei looked at the generals, sighed, and said: "I know that during this time, all the soldiers are very tired, and I am not inconsiderate of the soldiers. It's just that there will be a war between the dynasty and Jiannu, and judging from the current situation, there is not much time left for us to train our troops, and I don't have time to take my time. ”

Lu Ying said: "Big brother, our brothers all understand, don't worry, we will take our brothers well." ”

"I also want to make it clear to the soldiers the importance of training to defend the country."

Li Tianhao said: "What the eldest brother said is, in fact, I think most of the soldiers have a blood feud with Jiannu, although our training intensity is high, but the morale will not be greatly affected." ”

"That's good." Liu Yunwei looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's still early, it's better to add another training." Summons, the whole battalion assembled. ”

Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu looked at Liu Yunwei, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Order, with General E as one side, and the other four as one side, practice infantry and cavalry confrontation."

The generals fainted.

As the sun set, on the wilderness, Wu Xing led General B in the middle of the array, Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan respectively led General C and General Ding to line up left and right, and the three general soldiers were closely arrayed, firmly guarding the same place, standing still.

Wen Poyu led the general cavalry of Wu to rush to the infantry formation, only to see the infantry phalanx in front of him standing still, and admired in his heart: "Good soldier!" Although it was just a drill, he could still be so calm in the face of heavy cavalry charges, and he went into battle to kill Hu Dingran every day. ”

Wen Poyu pointed his spear and shouted: "Left and right!" ”

After saying that, the herald sounded the horn, and hundreds of iron horsemen immediately divided into two columns and galloped around the formation.

At this time, Lu Ying stood behind the infantry phalanx, and when he saw the flag from the flag bearer in front of him, he knew that Wen Poyu was preparing to attack around the formation, so he ordered: "A is always in a round formation." ”

The war drums sounded, and the soldiers of General A quickly formed a circle, with one sentry crossbowman and one sentry sword and axe hand outside, and three sentry archers lined up in the array.

Just as General A's circle formation was about to be lined up, Wen Poyu's General Wu had already crossed the three infantry phalanxes in front, converged together, and pounced on General Jia.

"Shoot the arrows!" Lu Ying ordered.

Suddenly, the arrows (training arrows with arrows removed) were like flying locusts, and Wen Poyu shouted, "Raise your shield!" The iron cavalry warriors raised their round shields on their arms to avoid the rain of arrows.

Wen Poyu saw that his formation had been scattered, and Mr. B, Mr. C, and Mr. Ding's foot soldiers were coming in formation, so he ordered: "Cut over!" Fall back! ”

Hundreds of iron horsemen cut straight past the side of the circle of the first general formation, whistling past. The three general foot soldiers who rushed to support couldn't catch up.

This was the end of a foot and horse confrontation.

Liu Yunwei watched the drill on the hill on the side, and was silent: "It is not easy for the infantry to fight the cavalry, the cavalry is flexible and comes and goes like the wind, even if the infantry can gain the upper hand, once the cavalry retreats quickly, it will not be able to catch up." Moreover, if it were replaced by Jiannu, Lu Ying and they might not be able to win, after all, if Jiannu fought to the death, the infantry casualties would be very large. It seems that the best way to deal with cavalry at this stage is to fight with cavalry. ”

Lu Ying and the others came over, and Zhao Kaishan shouted from afar: "Big brother, how are the brothers?" ”

"Haha, that's good. The combat power of the soldiers ranks first in Liaoyang. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and it seemed that nearly two months of training had not been in vain.

Liu Yunwei paused and said, "It's not too early, let's camp here tonight." Through today's drill, it can be seen that we still have some shortcomings, and we will discuss it again when we return to the city tomorrow. ”

At this moment, a knight came over in the distance, and Wen Poyu said: "Big brother, it's my subordinates who don't collect it at night, you see, the red back flag is an emergency military situation!" ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and Liu Yunwei also had a grim face.

After a while, the scout came to him, and Wen Poyu had already greeted him: "What's the situation?" ”

That night did not take it back: "Lord Qiyu, urgent report!" News from Jiannu's side. ”

Wen Poyu hurriedly took it, walked quickly to Liu Yunwei, and handed it over.

Liu Yunwei opened it and read it, and after a while, he sneered: "Hmph! The slave chief has such a big breath! ”

"What's the matter, big brother?" The crowd asked.

Liu Yunwei handed the urgent report in his hand to Lu Ying, Lu Ying and everyone opened it to take a look, only to see that it was written:

"The Great Golden Kingdom overhauled the wise Khan of the nations:

Recently, I heard that Liu Yunwei, the grandson of the Liaoyang General Army of the Ming Kingdom, was arrogant and wanton, and ran rampant in the four fields. Killing the warriors of Jianzhou at the border first, and then insulting the Dajin Emperor Yu Wenting, is really heinous.

Today, I will award a reward to the emperor and the head of a clan: those who kill Liu Yunwei, regardless of clan or noble, will be rewarded with a reward of 50 taels, five horses, five silk horses, and three female slaves.

I rewarded the warriors with a lot of money, gave official positions to the heroes, hung the head of the thief to the south of the town, and the corpse of the tyrannical general to raise the prestige of Jianzhou. ”
