Gawain's plan was as follows: first, all the direct military forces were divided into four cavalry regiments, namely the "Caesar's Mounted Cavalry Regiment" (formerly Anna's Mounted Cavalry Regiment), the "New Baptized Cavalry Regiment", the "Saint-Cyril Cavalry Regiment" (these two were the Red Hand Cavalry), plus the "Oghuz Shooting Cavalry Regiment" (reduced to 500 men).

Except for the Caesar cavalry regiment (the commander was changed to Goti), the four cavalry regiments are still 300 people (the mounted cavalry is too expensive), and the remaining three are 500 people each, while the original red hand cavalry is 1,200 people, and the Oghuz cavalry regiment is 900 people, so that the remaining 600 veterans are unified into the "cavalry training team", which is stationed in the military camps of Kayseri and Tarsus. Training in archery or spear riding can make up for the wear and tear of war at any time; Second, when the front-line military strength is tight, it can play the role of a general reserve.

In addition, there was an infantry regiment, that is, a grenadier regiment under the direct jurisdiction of the great guarantor, which was reduced from the original strength of 1,800 to 1,200 men, and the remaining 600 people, except for 200 people who served as the "grenadier training team," were all dismissed and returned to the Shengfeng farm or workshop -- 1,200 pyrinaders, equipped with 60 assault tubes, 200 handgun rockets, 80 light artillery carts, 12 five-pole guns, 6 throwing fire bronze clams, and 12 rocket barrels.

As for the Janissary Guard, nominally there were 300 men, but Gawain left only 120 men to control the palace defense, and the rest of the veterans were all promoted to flag officer centurions and enriched into the front-line brigades.

As for the three-wing brigade, Gawain also made a drastic reduction on the surface, unified into an infantry quota of 3,000 men, divided into five Banda detachments, and at the same time promoted the original Armenian logistics troops of each brigade to regular soldiers, organized into a brigade of 300 cavalry, and a brigade of 300 attached firefighters, a brigade of 300 archers and a brigade of 300 engineers, of which the Armenian shortage was re-recruited from the Sith County and the Vanka Biansai district. In this way, the array of infantry in the brigade was reduced, but the auxiliary force was increased, and in terms of weapons, Gawain uniformly stipulated that the infantry detachment of any brigade and regiment adopted the mode of "flower miscellaneous", of which eight became battle infantry, and the other two became a mixture of sword and shield men, axe and gunner, and small sickle.

In this case, the composition of a regular "Tarsus Guardian Brigade Regiment" was as follows: five Banda infantry detachments, each with a full number of six hundred men, including four hundred and eighty large infantry spearmen and one hundred and twenty mixed soldiers; The command system of each detachment was restored to the ancient system, and a detachment commander (earl) was set up to be in charge, and then according to 60 people as a company, the company leader of the famous flag officer company was also set up as the "senior centurion" chief, and at the same time four "level centurions" were set up as deputies, and once the former was killed or wounded, the level rank centurions took over the command of the company -- on weekdays, the senior centurions could participate in the military meetings of the brigade generals as brigade staff officers and the earl, and the level centurions were responsible for training tasks - The company is divided into six flag teams, each of which has ten soldiers, one of whom is the flag bearer, the so-called "senior sergeant", and there is also a "double pay sergeant" as a substitute.

In this way, it is equivalent to a company, with a total of five centurion officers and twelve junior sergeants to supervise and monitor the entire company, so that the soldiers can continue to fight to the death without collapsing in the event of losing their commander despite the high casualty rate.

Later, the subordinate teams also set up various captains to command, such as bow captains, firethrower captains and cavalry captains, etc., who were directly under the command and dispatch of brigade generals, and most of them were promoted from the senior veteran teams specializing in this branch of the army, and the companies and flag teams under them were set up as usual.

The basic combat mode of the army has also been formulated by Gao Wen:

The infantry detachment is the basic tactical unit, in this point Gawain resurrected the "infantry brigade tactics" of the ancient Roman period, their basic combat array has four kinds, one is the column advance raid technique, the whole detachment of 480 spearmen is divided into two parts, each column is a line of ten people and a total of 24 columns, and then the miscellaneous stragglers are separated from the left and right to take on the task of guarding and guarding, responsible for the fierce assault through the enemy's position; The second is the defense of the phalanx, which can be transformed from a column, each column has a company to serve as the front, lined up in eight rows, and the two companies of miscellaneous skirmishers are divided into two wings and arranged beside them, which can be used to fight with the enemy for a long time; The third is the basic horizontal team technique, in which two miscellaneous skirmish companies serve as the vanguard, and the remaining eight spearman companies are divided into two rows, so that they can not only carry out a wide frontal group offensive and defensive battle, but also become a phalanx or column; The fourth is the "bull horn tactic" under the city of Kayseri - also a kind of defensive technique, a detachment is also divided into two parts of the left and right, each with five companies, two horizontal teams and three columns mixed with each other, and with the blessing of the auxiliary teams of the brigade, it is especially suitable for small group conflicts in narrow areas.

During this period of rest, Gawain completely strengthened the drills of the detachment, he promoted and supplemented a large number of centurions and senior sergeant-level junior officers, and formed a training team for almost rigorous intensive training, although the size of the team was reduced, but the payment of funds was increased: the holy scorpions in the military code were also formulated, and the earl, centurion, auxiliary captain, sergeant and soldier all had their own differences, partly paid with the benefits of the holy land, partly with the ration of booty, partly with cash, the means were hundreds, but there was only one purpose, Strive to keep the team firmly in control.

Even though the Gimagith Brigade was not in the country, Gawain still copied the military canons, drill codes, and holy legions, and strictly supervised their daily routines in the military camps in Beirut and Jubail.

On the basis of the skeleton of the detachment, the combat mode of the brigade was also formulated: Gawain drew on the previous experience of Raymond's battle in Gangara (although it was a crushing defeat), and asked the brigade general to deeply understand the wonderful use of the word "five", that is, the five infantry detachments are divided into the basic formation of the first three and the last two, the first three are the "regular soldiers", and the last two are the "strange soldiers" mastered by the general, "these five bandas can attack in the first three and substitute in the last two; The first three can be attacked, and the last two are roundabout; can be the first three feints, the last two surprise attacks; The first three can be fixed, and the last two are prepared; The first three can retreat, and the last two can be ambushed; In this way, a brigade can fight both in formation and in the field, and can break through, outflank, rush, defend, and ambush in terms of strategy, and there are endless changes. Coupled with the Supreme Commander's flexible use of the subordinate troops, in the plains, in the rivers, in the fortresses, it is invincible! (To be continued.) )
