What broke our daily routine was the news that the officers and troops on the other side of the sea had lost again.

The previous advance team landed almost unhindered and uncompromised, and with the cooperation of the local officials and civilians, it was established to control its depth and control the zhì area.

Therefore, those generals who were originally sick and unaccustomed to the water and soil could not help but forget the previous risks and crises, and dragged their sick bodies from the sickbed one after another, actively expressing their response to the call of the DPRK and China, expressing a certain fearless spirit that has no conditions and must strive to create conditions for the country's loyalty, and formed a two-way crusade against men and horses, and rushed to the other side of the river one after another.

However, this time it was only a defeat, not as bad as the previous annihilation of the whole army, but the official army suffered an important setback in the re-march of Anyuan Prefecture, although there was not much resistance on the road ahead

However, there was chaos in the rear, and an unknown armed force that appeared out of nowhere attacked and captured the Dasha Port City where the official troops landed almost overnight, although there were few casualties, and with the cooperation of the naval corps from the naval division, they finally repelled the attacking enemy.

However, the local grain station was burned by people from inside and outside, and once the news spread, tens of thousands of troops could not help but panic, and even caused chaos.

Therefore, I secretly sent a messenger to take the fastest official ship, and urgently dispatched from Tiannan, which still had a surplus, to rescue the emergency first, so after the chickens and dogs jumped and scraped it, my supplemented group training, fortunately or unlucky, became an escort team again.

After several replenishments and equipment, as well as the experience of "suppressing bandits", my team finally changed its guns again and changed its appearance.

What's more, I received a large amount of surplus materials from the military and military from Gan Quan, the ambassador of Liangtai, yes, surplus materials.

Compared with the feudal towns of the Northern Dynasties, which were full of scrawny and ragged cannon fodder, the officials and troops of the Southern Dynasties were really much richer, not to mention the various expenses and materials allocated and dispatched, just the food and salary were sent in advance according to the upper limit of surplus for several months and half a year, and the local governments were ordered to supplement profits and losses as appropriate according to the proportions and quotas.

Therefore, with an army of the same size and equipment, the cost of appropriation and mobilization is much higher than that of the Northland, which is also an important reason for those who oppose the Northern Expedition.

Although there are many normal and abnormal losses on the road, except for a few remote areas where transportation is really inconvenient or the environment is bad, the officers and soldiers are rarely in danger of losing supplies, and it is also a tradition to deal with surplus materials that are not in the plan after each war

Theoretically, in addition to the armor and weapons of the officers and soldiers of the squad division, from traditional robes, clothes, bedding, tents, tools, ropes, iron nails and other bits and pieces, almost regardless of whether they are old or new, they are packaged and auctioned for distribution.

Then, through the channels of merchants, it is also a good business to deal with those third-rate local troops at a low price, or the private placement of the clan family, and all kinds of righteous slaves.

However, in fact, even if it is ordnance and the like, it is not impossible to think, as long as a sufficient price can be given, it is said that a special person has put forward a corresponding argument, and the appropriate proportion of floating abroad is also conducive to the prosperity of the military industry in the country and the upgrading of military equipment.

Therefore, in addition to the traditional swords, bows and guns, I also got a large number of military guns that had not been used much in the name of scrapping.

So after the battle of Tiannan City, the envoy of the army and the judge of Cangcao suddenly discovered that most of these firearms were listed as unqualified military products to be disposed of because of poor storage and rusty spots.

It's just that for me, this batch of military guns, although the quality is not very good, and it can't be compared with my batch of handmade products, but the advantage is that the pipe diameter is unified, the ammunition is easy to obtain, and as long as the firing device is modified, it can continue to be used.

He even got me two small cannons, which were placed on a special sampan in the marines to cover the landing battle, and finally without a few shots, on the grounds that they could not be carried into the water and were rusted, they were put into the sequence of scrapping, melting and reforging, and then transferred to me at the price of scrap copper.

This kind of copper-tired iron-core cannon that fires a pound of projectiles and is as far as 500 to 800 steps has a very simple structure, that is, a thick pipe and a bolt, and it is still an old-fashioned lead, which can be carried by a horse or two people, but it finally made the group of former Shenji Army gunners who stayed in our army get rid of the uselessness of being able to only pose with swords.

Both the White Corps and the Spear Corps were expanded to five firemen each, about 150 men, and ten handymen who drove and tended the cattle, which was close to the staffing of the officers and soldiers.

The Gun Brigade and the Shooting Squad numbered 120 people, and there were also 10 handymen who drove and took care of the livestock, mainly young men who were recruited from Tiannan and were involved in the homeless Dingkou.

Among them, the spear team can basically achieve a chain vest, a long pole and three replacement spearheads, a three-piece set of self-defense short knives, and when necessary, as one of the front teams and vanguards, an extra set of long ring armor to strengthen protection.

The white soldiers are half-body chain mail with arm sleeves, thick-backed long knives and iron-clad military shields of military standards, which are divided into long rows for formation and hand cards for upward attack, each accounting for six or four.

The gun team and the sound shooting team are uniformly replaced with some kind of simple silk armor, that is, thick cloth for sails, and a waistcoat cut into a vest-style coat, which has a certain protective ability against arrows and ordinary swords in the distance, and other equipment remains unchanged.

Although the old and the new are different, at least they are enough for protection, the veteran has an extra pair of shoulder pads and hems, and the non-commissioned officer has such goggles as a heart guard. Reinforcement of metal patches such as the front windshield.

As for the original leather case or half-body inlaid armor and the like, miscellaneous protective gear was eliminated to the baggage team.

In the end, it was organized into four white soldiers, five spear teams, three shooting teams, and six gun teams, with a total number of more than 2,000 troops.

The teaching team directly under the sequence, there is not much change in the establishment, but the priority is to supplement the personnel, and it is still all horses, only most of the half-foot battles, a small number of horse troops, especially strengthened the power of the scouts, wearing half-body cuirasses, and everyone is given a single or double short gun, or a hand crossbow.

The pacesetters were strengthened to a limited extent, and some skilled men were drawn from other teams, and formed into an exemplary hundred-man battle group according to the mixture of spearmen, white soldiers, marksmen, and gunners, and then the only newly installed artillery group was also equipped with it, which can be regarded as my new tactics and tactics with firearms as the core, and the first experimental unit continued to exist

In addition to this, I have set up another reserve battalion to serve as a reserve battalion for reserve personnel and auxiliary services, to house those who are not qualified to be retained, and in the reserve camp of about 800 people, only a few have protective gear, and the rest are simply unarmoured soldiers.

Just to expand and equip them, the price I paid was not small.

Not to mention the rest of these horses alone, the maintenance costs of eating horses on the road have to spend thousands of dollars every day, and only a small part of them can be supplemented in kind from the grain table and other means, and the rest has to be paid out of my own pocket to maintain my daily life......

To be honest, riding on a horse that is taller than a human body, looking at the elongated helmet and colorful tassels in front of me, I also have the illusion of complacency.

In the context of this troubled era, it is really because there are soldiers under him that they have authority and opportunities, and only then can they have a corresponding sense of security.

Since I originally designed it as a daily emblem for epaulettes, collar bands, and armbands, and as a symbol of class identification in the battlefield, it is too small to be used for daily training

Therefore, I took into account the retro practice of the general stream, and used the hat and helmet with a more conspicuous target as the battlefield identification mark of the headquarters.

Mainly considering the needs of the humid and hot southern operations, two styles were preliminarily settled.

A wide-brimmed canvas soft hat similar to western denim, which provides most of the needs of daily and light travel, and can play a simple shade after being coated with a layer of waterproof rubber; I directly asked the tailors in the army under the management of the ambassador of the grain station and sewed them according to the pattern.

The best response of this kind of hat is actually the soldiers of the shooting team and the gun team, and the wide brim of the hat can also block the light that affects the vision and provide some kind of shade for these soldiers who need vision and vision.

The other is a saucer-shaped flat-edged pointed hat, but more than 2,000 were found in the arsenal of the Tiannan Army as a basic protective configuration in wartime.

The hard disc edge can effectively prevent rainwater from flowing to the face and affecting the line of sight, weld a ring of reinforced protective iron at the back of the head, pad a cotton liner, and then add a few pieces of cloth to form a kind of sunscreen and breathable neck curtain.

It is also a practical and unfavorable plan, but it is just a fluttering of cloth pieces when it marches, and it suddenly returns to the era of the Anti-Japanese War. However, after the initial distribution, the soldiers' response was surprisingly good, saying that they no longer had to worry about the iron helmet being hot and painful from the sun, and I had to leave this aesthetic regret behind for the time being

Ordinary soldiers do not have any decoration on their hats, while veterans and non-commissioned officers are identified by tassels of different colors tied to them, and officers have an extra tassel on their hats and helmets, which are also distinguished by different colors.

I don't have so many bird feathers and horsehair and fox tails, so I can only use this half-baked alternative to the beauty of classical militarism, and silk polyester and dye are much better than these things.

As for the auxiliaries, there is only one hat, but you can distinguish the rank and sequence by following the simple color on the hat. Each person then carries a long axe plus a few short axes, or a few short spears, which can be thrown at close range or in hand-to-hand combat.

It's just that when they stand together, I occasionally think of the poor cannon fodder with the low price called Ashigaru when I first played the first work of the Shogun series.

So our "Longzhou Regiment Left", after pulling it out and appearing a few times, got a fairly intuitive new nickname, "Hat Curtain Soldier",

This is also one of the few benefits of being a miscellaneous army, if it is a regular officer and army, from clothing color to grooming and equipment, there are various rules and regulations, but there is no way to be so arbitrary, full of personal style and malicious taste.
