Chapter 181: Forming a New Army

"The moment the war broke out, no one in the whole city was spared, and the moment the war broke out, who in the whole city came to pay respects"

Xi Liang is now slowly beginning to understand the song that Yang Lin sang on the bank of the Weishui River that she couldn't understand at all, war will bring devastation to any beautiful or unbeautiful place, looking at Li Tai who asked Li Er for credit with a smug face, Xi Liang became disgusted with this cute-looking fat man for the first time.

"What, don't like the bloody gas on this battlefield or hate the way the green sparrow does it?" Li Er looked at Xi Liang's face a little ugly, and asked with a slight smile. In the past few months, the two have become familiar with each other, domineering like Li Er, they didn't give a hard bow to this beauty, and a few old goods such as Cheng Biting Jin often took it out behind his back to make fun of him, Li Er is true love, different from the respect and love between him and the eldest grandson, this is an infatuation, Li Er even enjoys his feelings of being infatuated with her.

"Both, the reason why people are not beasts is because people have feelings, they have compassion, and ruthless killing is the behavior of beasts, at least in my opinion, this killing is too much, and the medical staff of the cultural regiment have not even found a living person on the battlefield, does His Majesty also think that these people should be killed?" In front of familiar people, etiquette is naturally not so exquisite, and it is only Xiliang's exclusive right to speak to the emperor in this kind of questioning or reproachful tone, and even Yang Lin has not done this.

"If you don't kill these people, will you let them raise their knives and resist and kill my soldiers? War is ruthless, the ruthlessness on the battlefield is for the sake of affection after the war, and when I unify the southern Xinjiang, I can avoid the war here for generations, I don't know how many people will be saved, and they must endure the pain for a while. Li Er explained a little weakly. In his opinion, Li Tai has indeed done a little too much, at least after the other party loses its combat effectiveness, the rest should be to capture and surrender, and the killing is too ruthless, and the next battle may only be solved by killing, but he still explained to Xiliang with a hard mouth.

"A war won by killing people is inferior, and I believe that the regiment commander would definitely not do this, if he hadn't known that An Miao had the intention to attack the Central Plains. I don't even want to get involved in this war, after all, we are too stupid to have the wisdom of the regimental commander. ”

Xi Liang's eyes walked away indifferently, the woman was a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene of flesh and blood everywhere, the weather in the south is hot, if this place is not quickly cleaned or buried, it will quickly become a plague outbreak area, and the art troupe is currently taking some auxiliary soldiers to do these jobs.

"Can you win a war without killing?" Li Er grabbed his scalp and was a little stunned, and captured the most dangerous and strong place of death in front of An Miao's base camp. Next, they waited for the road repair team to extend the road to the city of Yunan, and then took the foundation of An Miao in one go, and the matter in southern Xinjiang was basically solved by a small half.

Yanglin's recital only reached Li Er's hand two months later, and the March flowers bloomed like the folds on Li Er's forehead. The ravines and ravines are obvious and vivid, and the reason why Li Er laughed like this is not because Yang Lin did not move a single soldier to take down the two kings of Yingji and Hun Sen as expected by Xiliang, but because Yang Lin mentioned the abundance of products in the land of Jiaozhi. It is also strategically suitable as a place to balance Tibet and reduce the pressure on the defense line in Shuzhong, after the preliminary inventory of Yanglin. The grain produced in a year by the two royal cities of Yingji and Hun Sen alone is enough to supply the grain of a 100,000-strong army, and there is even a surplus.

The first victory of Jiaozhi gave Li Er the hope of unifying Asia, and if the place marked by the huge territory map could belong to the Tang Dynasty during his lifetime, such a great achievement was at least incomparable to the ancients before him.

Two months is enough time for Yanglin to do a lot of things, at least he can fully take over the city defense of Yingji Wangcheng and Hun Sen Wangcheng, Yanglin still stationed 2,000 sergeants to guard the two cities, half of which are Lingnan Army, half of them have been dispersed and the Jiaozhi soldiers assigned to the Lingnan Army, and now they are collectively referred to as the First Group Army.

The self-appointed commander-in-chief of the group army, Yang Lin, divided the army into four sections, the first major plate was composed of 10,000 Tang Dynasty naval troops and 5,000 Jiaozhi soldiers, who were also mixed into the warship establishment in a ratio of two to one, and these Jiaozhi soldiers were even more suitable for the sea than the Lingnan soldiers, and after two months of training, their level had been comparable to the Lingnan soldiers brought by Yanglin from Lingnan.

The second major plate is the city defense army composed of Lingnan marines and Jiaozhi soldiers 2 to 1, the proportion here is Jiaozhi soldiers two, Lingnan soldiers one, Lingnan soldiers are responsible for serving as generals, Jiaozhi soldiers are at most low-level officers, responsible for specific management, the total number is also 15,000 people, responsible for the security and defense of Yingji Prefecture and Hun Sen Prefecture and its seven counties and 36 villages, the number is not too much, and it can basically maintain a stable dìng with the original.

The third major plate is the marines, which is basically a one-to-three configuration, five thousand Lingnan marines mixed with fifteen thousand Yingji and Hun Sen's original subordinate soldiers, most of the Lingnan soldiers who can only look at the Lingqi have become squad leaders, and the team is a class of officers, among which there are also some generals under the original King Yingji and Hun Sen as senior officers, anyway, Yanglin's military system makes them understand very well, basically look at the military rank on their shoulders to know the position, because Yanglin thought very thoughtfully, After a month or two of familiarization, there was basically no conflict, this plate belongs to the largest number of teams, and it is captured as the main combat mission, and with the expansion of the territory in the future, it will definitely be expanded, so Yang Lin is not afraid of it, as long as he usually manages it more personally.

The fourth major plate is the mixed team of elephant soldiers and firearms battalions, the ratio of this group of teams is one to one, and even Yang Lin joined his own escort team to enter, half of the five thousand female soldiers of the Jiaozhi soldiers, most of them are mahouts, and the five hundred adult war elephants are almost all the elephants under the rule of King Yingji and Hun Sen, Yang Lin personally designed saddles and protective gear for the war elephants, so that the big guys look more terrifying, and the defense is stronger.

And the Shenwei cannons dragged behind them are even more terrifying, two hundred Shenwei cannons are the limit that Yanglin can use on land, and the assembled items on the supply ship have all been used up, and now they have set off for Xiachuan Island with the old sailing ships under the banner of King Yingji and King Hun Sen, where they can get a new round of strategic materials, and at the same time, they also have to go to the Nansha Islands to help the gods and people migrate, and when they come back, in addition to bringing many strategic materials and equipment to Yanglin, It will also bring a lot of merchants and fresh goods to the land of Jiaozhi, and the merchants have always done better than the soldiers, and the merchants are different from the soldiers, they generally take advantage of others and thank them for their kindness, this is the difference between Yanglin and Li Tai's war strategy, or the cleverness.

The basic organization of the new army was completed, and 15,000 navy, 20,000 marines, 10,000 firearms and war elephants, 15,000 city defense soldiers, and 25,000 Tang troops were all mixed into the new army.

"Commander-in-chief, our army is so strong, when will we be able to attack Hongdu and King Tony's territory? Since the last time they were defeated by your army at sea, they have all withdrawn from the border, cowering in their lair. ”

Chachai became a battalion colonel of the marines, his task was mainly responsible for conveying the commander-in-chief's orders to the various units, two months passed, Chachai, who was originally a good man, was injured and began to be on duty in the training camp, the Tang Army's training enthusiasm was very high, because when the training was good, he might be rewarded by the commander-in-chief, and this enthusiasm also infected the Jiaozhi soldiers who were mixed in, after the army of King Hongdu and King Tony withdrew, all the soldiers returned to this seaside not far from the front line for group training.

"Recruit training, it takes at least three months to complete, our Tang Army is different from the way you fought before, act according to orders, unified execution is the key, King Hongdu was disabled by me in a battle, and now he may be hiding in his own royal city trembling, they are stationed here but do not attack them, in fact, they are also constantly giving him psychological pressure, you don't understand these to tell you, now he is no longer qualified to be on an equal footing with King Tony, I believe that it will not be long before King Tony, who is really supported by the Tubo people, will annex King Hongdu in one fell swoopAt that time, it is the time for us to launch, whether King Hongdu resists or not, the resistance of our battle will become much smaller, between the wolf and the tiger, King Hongdu himself will know to choose one side to obey. ”

In their opinion, as long as they still govern the place, then this king will do it more easily than before, because the headache of the war has been worried about them, and in front of the people, showing off their privileges and the wine and food that the Tang army has rectified, it seems that they are more upscale than before, and such surrender is happy, but they did not find that they were becoming more and more despised.

The eight disciplines of the Tang army are very strict, and now the entire first group army of 60,000 horses must abide by it, with a disciplined army, it will soon be able to get the support and respect of the people, because they are so powerful, and also take the initiative to undertake some difficult problems in the production and life of the people, such as ditching and water diversion, filling pits and building roads, which have been included in the training of the sergeants by Yanglin, which will be used as the base camp of Yanglin to seek the entire Jiaozhi land, even after the war, the location here is extremely important, Infrastructure construction is something that Yang Lin needs to do non-stop, and it wasn't until one day that the scorpion dragged his tired body back to the camp, and Yang Lin ordered Chachai to sound the drum of the gathering generals.
