At noon, the grain conscription team arrived at a nomadic settlement, only to see Guo Xingsan, surrounded by several soldiers, found the local elder, first in Tang dialect, the other party did not understand, he used five kinds of Hu language in a row to talk to the other party!

Eventually, he found the right nonsense and started a pleasant conversation with the other party. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Xiaobao was stunned, and he knew that he had picked up the treasure!

As a newly formed corps, if it started from scratch and started from scratch, the officers and men would be hairy boys from top to bottom, from immature to mature.

Well, when it matures, the officers and soldiers of the entire army may be replaced, and there are very few survivors!

No one is born to fight, if Feng Xiaobao hadn't been helped by the nobles in the palace and forced the officers and soldiers of the old army to retire to help him, he didn't know how many detours he would have to take, how many of his subordinates would have died, and even the regiment would not have been exterminated.

You see, after Guo Xingsan said this, the elder excitedly helped him shout everywhere, and those herdsmen drove cattle and sheep, and some brought large baskets of yak dung cakes (as fuel), and came to trade with the Tang army, and there was no conflict or embarrassment.

Guo Xingsan personally inspected the goods, and when he saw a cow, he opened his teeth to look at it, and then yelled at the herdsman, and the elder also helped him scold the herdsman!

Turning his head, Guo Xingsan explained to Feng Xiaobao and said: "That cow is sick, generally speaking, if there is a choice, we want healthy livestock!" ”

"He's helping you like that?" Feng Xiaobao pointed to the clan elder and said.

"I'll give him a kickback bag of copper, isn't he my man!" Guo Xingsan is an understatement.

He is proficient in business, good use of lubricants, and invincible.

The herdsmen and the Tang army were fair trades, and the Tang army bought livestock with copper coins and silks, Guo Xingsan said regretfully: "It's better to be in the enemy-occupied area, and if you obey us, we only need to pay a quarter, and if you don't obey us, you don't have to pay a copper plate!" ”

"They come to us, they don't have to pay more!" Feng Xiaobao said dryly.

After the deal was completed, the Tang army began to slaughter livestock and bury pots to make rice. And those cavalrymen who didn't know where to run appeared at this time, and also came to get a piece of the pie, and of course the baggage soldiers unceremoniously requisitioned them to help.

Guo Xingsan took Feng Xiaobao and told him how to slaughter livestock faster, how to use everything from killed livestock not to be wasted, how to find a place to process, how to make a fire, how to cook, and so on!

The people of Datang don't like to eat the sewage (offal) of livestock, but in Guo Xingsan's rhetoric, all waste is shameful!

Feng Xiaobao followed all the way, and his head was a little dizzy.

Fortunately, the three staff officers who followed him recorded everything, so that in the future, they would be able to mass-produce baggage officers!

Guo Xingsan trayed out of the tray of experience, did not interfere, he glanced at the three staff officers, and said to Feng Xiaobao honestly and unceremoniously: "Fortunately, it is you, otherwise I would not have said (experience)." ”

"Why did you say it to me?" Feng Xiaobao asked him with a smile.

"Because you're not an ordinary person!" Guo Xingsan shook his head, as if he was emotional.

In the year of the rebellion, the year of the same age as him was still studying and soaking horses, and when their parents were having a nerve, Feng Xiaobao had already killed people and set fires all over the world in Tubo, and he was very embarrassed.

For this kind of monster, you can't use common sense to measure, what he wants, it's better to give it to him!

Guo Xingsan thought so, and invited the elders and the people with heads and faces he called to eat together at the dinner, so as to understand the local people's conditions, mountains, rivers and topography, which is also a basic skill of being a commander.

All of this, he has no reservations about what he can teach Feng Xiaobao, and Feng Xiaobao is quite satisfied with him.

……

When Feng Xiaobao was training with the baggage soldiers, Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi were also not idle.

Although it was cold and snowy, the cavalry still went out (find some places with relatively little snow) to conduct regular cavalry shooting, saber and weapon drills, and then fight in small teams, and the brigades attacked, and practiced with the baggage soldiers and infantry, and they were busy.

The cavalry was relatively good, and the newly naturalized Tuyuhun was capable of fighting on its own, but it just needed to cooperate with practice and strengthen discipline training.

Cheng Boxi, on the other hand, was more difficult, he had learned some military training knowledge in Luoyang before, but it was far from enough.

If there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure.

Veterans, all by veterans!

The veterans of the Praetorian Guard who joined Feng Xiaobao after retiring from the army played a mainstay role, and they taught Cheng Boxi to make good use of the organization, individual training, and joint training of the soldiers in his hands.

Referring to the standard corps of the Tang Army, including 12,500 infantry, 5,000-6,000 cavalry, and 1,000-2,000 baggage troops, a total of about 20,000 men and horses in such a unit.

Among them, among the 12,500 infantry, 7,500 are armor soldiers, mainly using Mingguang armor.

Among the 7,500 armor soldiers, there are 2,500 Mo knife soldiers, each of whom has a bow and 30 arrows hanging on their waists, and a long-handled Mo knife and a spear are crossed behind their backs. In addition, 5,000 armor soldiers also have a bow, 30 arrows, a gun, and a heavy knife with a broken handle.

Among the 5,000 light infantry, 2,500 were equipped with a bow, 30 arrows, a heavy knife with a broken handle, a spear, and a square cowhide shield. Another 2,500 light soldiers with a bow and 30 arrows. He carried a larger quiver with 100 arrows, a crossbow, and a spear.

According to the situation of the front line in Tubo, the old officers selected 200 strong men from Cheng Boxi to form the Mo Sword Soldiers!

Mo knife, the Tang army's big killing weapon, a powerful killing machine, when it goes to fight the cavalry of the Tubo people, it will be better than the spearmen.

There were then 400 light infantry, mainly armed with bows and crossbows.

After all, the Tibetans are mainly bows and arrows, and only bows and arrows are used to deal with bows and arrows!

At that time, the old officers asked the commander, for the light infantry, whether to defend the counterattack (with a shield) or bow to bow (with a bow and crossbow), Feng Xiaobao, Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi, the answer was without exception, it was all attack, attack, attack!

In order to enhance the attack power, Feng Xiaobao proposed that the Mo knife of the Mo Dao Soldier be similar to the spear, without a spear, with an extra talisman knife, and three short spears!

At the moment of the arrival of the enemy, six hundred spears flew out at the same time, forming a terrible striking force!

In order to make the infantry mature early, the cavalry pounced fiercely, and attacked them many times with the cavalry, although the bow with the arrow removed, the shot still hurt in the body.

All infantry were trained on horseback to improve mobility.

Feng Xiaobao has money and horses to help, and his troops can achieve cavalry with two horses and infantry with one horse, which is more luxurious!

In order to cooperate with the cavalry to complete the nomadic army with fast movement and long distances, the infantry units of the main force of the Central Army were all mobile by chariots and horses, rather than on foot. Get out of the car and fight in battle when you get to the battlefield!

But the local Zhichong Prefecture march is honestly driving the 11th line car.

At present, there are 600 cavalry, 600 infantry, 400 heavy soldiers, and 200 mixed soldiers in Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County, reaching as many as 1,800 people, and the composition exceeds the standard of 1,200 people in Zhichong Prefecture.

The extra 600 people belong to recruitment, that is, mercenaries, the state does not give money, Feng Xiaobao pays out of his own pocket.

If you want to make a lot of money, you have to have a lot of capital and have to spend.

The 200 mixed soldiers include a military band, a field hospital (each department itself has medical guards, who still participate in the battle), a staff department (including a herald), Feng Xiaobao's personal guard "Viper's Kiss", and some vigilant infantry, and the quota is also very tight.

Just when they were training in full swing and were in full swing, a thunderbolt came from the sunny day, and a battle report like this: Today's dead, Jiang Ke, the left minister of the Tang Dynasty and the general manager of the Liangzhou Road march!

Jiang Ke, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Tibet, died of illness on the front line in Hezhou! (To be continued.) )
