Chapter 2 The Tiger and Wolf Nirvana Became an Army

Section 1: Divine Weapons (I)

When Liu Yunwei heard that Sun Yuanhua was back, he was overjoyed and shouted, "God help me!" "Now the Hanwei Army is facing an unprecedented reorganization, and the weapons equipped by the soldiers will be replaced, and the large-scale equipment of sharp firearms such as bird guns is needed, and it is precisely when people like Sun Yuanhua who are familiar with firearms are needed. So, Liu Yunwei hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" Is Mr. Sun back? Where is he now? ”

The Bai general replied: "General Hui, it's true!" Mr. Sun has already arrived at the camp, and now he is in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Mr. Lu Qian and Lord Yuan are talking to Mr. Sun in the big tent of the Chinese army. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yunwei hurriedly dealt with the affairs of the displaced people, and rushed back to the Chinese army's tent without stopping. As soon as he entered the big tent, Liu Yunwei saw Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying chatting with Sun Yuanhua.

"Mr. Sun! Shandong is a farewell, but I want to be angry. Liu Yunwei quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua looked Liu Yunwei up and down at this time, and said: "Well, the little general is becoming more and more calm and mighty, when I was in Dengzhou, I heard that the little general won several battles and swept away more than 200,000 thieves to pacify the Central Plains, even if he was drunk, he celebrated well!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Liu Yunwei also laughed, and then asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Sun still leaving?" ”

"If you don't leave, I'll eat and drink here at the little general."

"Great!" Liu Yunwei was overjoyed, and then said, "By the way, is Mr. Xu okay?" Yunwei admires the old gentleman very much, but he has never had the opportunity to meet the old gentleman. ”

Sun Yuanhua sighed and said, "Alas! After the family teacher was forced away by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he had no intention of pursuing a career. I had visited Tongzhou before I came to Tongzhou, and now the tutor is raising flowers and writing at home, but it is still leisurely. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the little general, this time the corruption that shocked the government and the opposition was a bad breath for me and my teacher! ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head and said with a sigh: "It's just a pity that the old gentleman has great ambitions!" ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. By the way, the little general, just now I was talking about the reorganization of our Hanwei Army with Lord Yuan and Mr. Lu Qian, I don't know what the little general has planned? ”

Liu Yunwei first beckoned everyone to sit down and said slowly, and let people serve tea, and then said: "I have been thinking about this matter, but I don't have a mature plan yet, I don't know if Mr. Sun may teach me?" ”

Sun Yuanhua pondered for a while and said, "I don't have any specific reorganization plan, but there is one thing I want to remind the little general. ”

"Oh? Mr. Sun, please speak. ”

Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying also looked at Sun Yuanhua intently, waiting for the following.

Sun Yuanhua continued: "Little general, two adults, I think that the next reorganization of our Hanwei Army should not simply expand the strength, but should be a complete rebirth of the army!" We should build the Hanwei Army from an ordinary battalion into an invincible division like the Qi Family's Army! ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "What Mr. Sun said is very right, I think the same way, but the specific reorganization plan has not been thought of yet." For example, how will the structure of this reorganization be deployed? This is a very critical question. ”

Sun Yuanhua shook his head and said, "I didn't think this problem was a problem. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yunwei felt a little strange at this time, the reorganization of the army is actually the reformulation of the army structure and the reorganization of the soldiers, and the formation is the prerequisite for everything; How can it not be a difficult problem whether or not the structure of an army is reasonable, but it is a big issue that has a direct bearing on whether or not its combat strength can be fully brought into play?

Liu Yunwei asked suspiciously: "I don't know what Mr. Sun thinks, what is our top priority now?" ”

"Armament!" Sun Yuanhua said categorically: "We should now first determine what kind of divine weapons we will equip the soldiers with after the reorganization!" ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, he seemed to feel that a trace of realization flashed in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it. After thinking carefully for a while, Liu Yunwei suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Sun, I understand. Do you mean that we should first determine the composition of the arms of the army before the reorganization, and then determine the weapons that each branch should be equipped with, and finally start the reorganization? ”

"That's right!" Sun Yuanhua smiled and nodded.

Liu Yunwei continued: "If you want to make a contribution, you must use it!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying also figured it out, and they both admired Sun Yuanhua very much.

Then, Liu Yunwei hurriedly summoned Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, Li Tianhao, Wang Gandang, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, and Chen Zitong (that is, Master Chen) and several people over.

After everyone arrived, everyone met with Sun Yuanhua enthusiastically, and after Huang Fuming heard about Sun Yuanhua's deeds, he also hugged his fists again and again to express his admiration, and Sun Yuanhua also hugged his fists with everyone one by one without mentioning it.

After a while, Liu Yunwei motioned for everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone, I have summoned everyone here today to discuss the reorganization of the army with you. The key to this reorganization lies in the adjustment of the military structure, and the key to the army structure lies in the setting of various military branches! Therefore, I would like to discuss with you that infantry and cavalry are composed of those specific types of troops, and only after they are determined can the army be reorganized with half the effort. ”

Everyone was serious when they heard it, and then they all groaned, and everyone was carefully calculating in their hearts, after all, this is related to the combat strength of the army in the future, and it is related to their own military achievements and glory, so they can't be cautious.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei did not urge everyone to answer, drinking tea and chatting in a low voice with Sun Yuanhua and Yuan Mingxuan, while waiting for the generals to speak. After a long while, Lu Ying spoke first: "Big brother, I thought that after this reorganization, the army should cancel all the crossbowmen and replace them with bird guns!" ”

Lu Ying's speech was like a slap in the face, and everyone was surprised when they heard it, after all, Lu Ying himself was a sharpshooter, and the reason why the Feiyu Department got its name was because its soldiers were good at bows and arrows and were equipped with a large number of strong bows. Everyone never expected that Lu Ying would propose to cancel the crossbowmen.

Liu Yunwei was also a little surprised, and said, "Tell me the reason." ”

Lu Ying said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I don't feel comfortable canceling the crossbowman, but I think this move is imperative!" Because the advantage of firearms is much more than that of bows and crossbows, they can form an advantage over Jiannu and kill Jiannu's troops more. ”

Liu Yunwei nodded when he heard this, and said: "Lu Ying is right, think about it: training a crossbowman requires a great investment, whether it is in time or money, without a year or two, it is absolutely impossible to train a qualified archer; Moreover, the maintenance and maintenance of the strong bow and crossbow are very troublesome, and a strong bow even needs to be equipped with more than a dozen different bowstrings, and the bowstrings will be unusable due to moisture in rainy days; These have undoubtedly greatly increased our food and salary consumption, but in actual combat, although the archers are very brave, at most they are on par with Jiannu, and they cannot gain an advantage. When I was in the manor of the Lushun Qian officials, I had talked to those guards about it, as long as there was enough supply of birds, I would be able to continuously train qualified birds in two or three months at most! And the shot of the bird gun does not need to be forced, as long as there is enough medicine, you can keep shooting, but can the crossbowman do? If you can't shoot a few arrows, you'll be exhausted! As for the impact of rain, snow and windy weather, there are many skilled craftsmen recruited by Mr. Xu in our camp, as well as firearms craftsmen recruited by Lord Yuan, like the spontaneous firearms (flintlock guns) equipped by the three major battalions of the Beijing Division! Therefore, Lu Ying's suggestion is right, I have decided to cancel the crossbowmen in this reorganization and set up bird crossbowmen on a large scale in various departments! ”

When the generals heard this, they were secretly surprised in their hearts, and said secretly: "Big brother, this is going to make up your mind to reincarnate the Han Wei Army!" ”

Then, Wu Xing said: "Big brother, I thought that the infantry of the army should be divided into three types!" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Wu Xing is our infantry general, you can talk about it carefully!" ”

Wu Xing said a few words modestly and continued: "I think that the infantry should be composed of pikemen who are responsible for lining up and suppressing the enemy, sword and shield soldiers who are responsible for guarding the phalanx, and Mo sword soldiers who are responsible for counterattacking and charging!" ”

"Well said!" Liu Yunwei said approvingly: "I also plan to equip the pikemen with heavy spears and the Mo sword soldiers with horse chopping knives, this is to expand the extermination array to the entire army, after the reorganization is completed, the combat power of our Hanwei army will definitely become very terrifying; At the same time, I believe that the sword and shield soldiers should be equipped with thicker eyebrow shields, which can not only effectively protect against arrows, but also defend against the attacks of ordinary firearms. ”

Regarding Liu Yunwei's proposal, everyone naturally had no opinion and agreed with it. Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, Wang Dangdang, Huang Fuming, and Gao Hongguang were even more excited, after all, Wu Xing's extermination array was prestigious, full of achievements, and extremely powerful.

Everyone discussed for a while, and after discussing some details of the infantry equipment, Liu Yunwei looked at Wen Poyu and asked, "Poyu, can you tell me what weapons our Hanwei army cavalry should be equipped with?" ”

I saw Wen Poyu frowning and thinking for a while, and then said, "Ma Lance!" Three-eyed guns! ”
