Chapter 120: Military Training
Shengju, for the time being, is the seat of the newly established Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is also the location of the camp of the ambassador of the defense outside the river.
Wu Yanzhi served as the ambassador of the defense outside the river, of course, to guard against the Turkic attack.
Wu Yan saw that his defense ambassador and capital protector were only temporary positions, otherwise he would not have appointed himself as a part-time supervisor of the winter official squire.
Let's train the army well, then the Turkic Khan is still on the way to attack the Turgish! When he comes to his senses, my three cities have been repaired, and he will have no choice.
If each city is defended by 10,000 men, as long as the defenders are strong, he may not be able to attack 100,000 men.
It is estimated that Yao Chong, the deputy capital protector, will soon bring the remaining 40,000 people over, and he should train the army first!
So, he brought Yang Siqiao, Li Quanyi, and General An Daomai over, and discussed the reorganization of the army with several staff.
"The key to whether this army can fight a war, especially whether it can win a war, depends on training. If you don't train in peacetime, you will lose your life in wartime! Of these 50,000 men, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry were planned.
The cavalry was trained by General An, and the infantry was trained by General Lee. General Yang also served as the Marquis of the training camp, supervising the training of the 50,000 people. Anyone who violates military orders and does not strictly follow the rules of training must be severely punished! Wu Yanzhi said.
"Yes!"
Antaomai has lived outside the fortress for decades and has a lot of experience in training cavalry, and the reason why he was able to win a big victory this time was all due to it.
"General An, please also send a few instructors to teach the 4,000 cavalry I originally led, and then teach them well, I feel that their combat effectiveness is still worse than the cavalry you led!" Wu Yanzhi said with a smile.
"Since the commander arranged, his subordinates must obey the order. In fact, the 4,000 cavalry led by the marshal, they just rarely participated in actual combat, and even the training was not enough. However, after these two battles, the combat effectiveness has changed from what it used to be, and it seems to his subordinates that it is very strong. The subordinates will send ten more instructors to follow and supervise, and it should be fine.
These cavalrymen in the subordinate original belt, because they often fought with various Turkic tribes, already have very good combat experience, and naturally their combat effectiveness is stronger. "Adimai is also very direct.
"Well, that's good. However, the training must be strict, and those who violate the order will be severely punished! ”
……
What is this army training, training?
First, military orders and formations. Although this cavalry is different from the infantry, no matter what, the first thing to train is military orders and queues. The so-called queue is actually a phalanx formation.
In the era of cold weapons, the formation is extremely important, and once the formation is disrupted by the enemy army, it may be defeated.
Especially for infantry, this formation is the lifeline. An experienced and excellent general can know the opponent's weak points by looking at the opponent's formation, so as to launch an attack on the weak points.
For example, Tang Taizong Li Shimin can do this. The reason why he must win every battle is that as soon as the two armies face each other, he can find the weak points of the enemy formation, so that he can use the elite cavalry to surprise the weak points of the enemy position.
Therefore, except for the battle against Xue Rengao, who failed once due to illness and did not personally command, he had no other defeats, except for old age.
Second, the killing skills. In the cavalry, of course, was horseback riding and archery, as well as a lance. For infantry, there are many kinds. For example, the training of archers and crossbowmen is extremely difficult. Because the bow and arrow shoot out with a certain arc, it is not easy to shoot at the target. A good archer is trained for many years.
Sword and shield soldiers. This one is simpler, with a shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other. This is also the main force of the infantry.
There is also an infantry Mo knife hand. This Tang Dynasty Mo knife hand is very famous. His duty was to take the place of the cavalry in a counter-assault when the enemy's cavalry was blocked by our infantry. You can cut off horses and people.
Of course, the selection and training of Mo knife hands are very strict, and those dozens of pounds of knives are not something ordinary soldiers can afford. And be brave and fearless.
Obviously, it takes a lot of courage to fight cavalry with infantry. Because in the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was always the king, and he had a huge advantage in speed and impact.
In fact, no matter what kind of infantry, as long as the formation is scattered and encounters cavalry, it must be like chopping melons and vegetables.
Half a month later, Yao Chong brought another 40,000 people and a number of weapons, grain and grass.
"Deputy Yao Duhu has worked hard, I didn't expect Deputy Yao Duhu to recruit 50,000 people so quickly, I want to give credit to Deputy Yao Duhu!" Wu Yanzhi said.
"This is all thanks to the prestige of General Wu! It is true that only 10,000 people were recruited at the beginning, and many people were reluctant to serve as soldiers, and to tell the truth, they were afraid that they would not be able to go back.
However, since he knew that it was General Wu who led the troops, the remaining 40,000 people were recruited in a few days! Yao Chong looked at the young Wu Yanzhi and admired it very much.
"Really? I think Deputy Yao is still very good at protecting things. I have already played the Holy Majesty, and let you serve as my marching horse for the time being. In the future, please pay more attention to Yao Gong! ”
"It's a lowly thing! Don't dare to do your best! ”
Subsequently, Wu Yanzhi summoned all the officers above the captain level and introduced Yao Sima to everyone.
"In the future, Yao Sima will be the deputy commander of this army, and when I am not there, Yao Sima will be fully responsible. Don't look at Sima as a civil official, but Duke Yao is very rigorous and courageous, and he is also a favored minister trusted by the saint. You must give your full support to Yao Sima's affairs. ”
"I'll wait for the order, please rest assured!"
"We are all working under the big handsome, and we will support each other in the future!" Yao Chong said modestly.
He is not the boss, and this Sima is a civilian official, he doesn't want to be in the limelight, he just wants to do some auxiliary work behind the scenes.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that he and Wu Yanzhi were both temporarily transferred to take charge of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and they may go back after half a year.
Judging from the emperor's appointment to himself, he should be promoted when he returns. I can almost enter the Luantai of Fengfeng Pavilion, and the scholar may be in the middle of the matter.
With a little luck, you might be promoted directly to the rank of squire.
……
Since there are 30,000 infantry among these 50,000 people, Wu Yanzhi also plans to train 3,000 Mo swordsmen.
He didn't know much about training himself, but he had his own plans. During the training period, he had to take out a meal tomorrow to eat with the recruits, both at noon and at night.
He wanted to change the image of the officers among the soldiers, and of course mainly his own image. Also ask them what they think and find out how well they are training.
That night, as usual, he had dinner with the recruits.
"What do you think of the food?" He asked.
"The villain thinks it's okay! However, the handsome and the villain have a dinner together, and I am afraid that these coarse tea and light rice are not used to eating! A daring soldier replied, who was also a fire commander.
There are still ten people here, eating together, plus Wu Yanzhi is 11 people. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
