Section 25 Rebuilding the Sharp Knife Battalion

readx; Since Chen Ze had already decided to stay, he asked Su Yun to explain in detail the before and after of the Battle of Changping. www.biquge.info But this time is different from last time, this time Su Yun is doing his best to refine the Battle of Changping, in order to let Chen Ze find the links that can be used. So, when he had just finished talking in detail, Chen Ze discovered what he thought was a very important point.

"You mean, shortly after the start of the war, we will go through a change of generals? And this change of generals will also become the fuse for the defeat of Zhao in the Battle of Changping? ”

Su Yun nodded lightly and said, "In history, it is said that after the change of generals, Zhao Jun began to seek fighters and took the initiative to attack. However, after losing the protection of the fortifications, he fell into the trap of the Qin army, was divided and surrounded, and finally annihilated in Changping......"

"Then if we stop this change of generals and let Lian Po continue to lead the Zhao army against the Qin army, will it change history? Since history has changed, the Battle of Changping without this fuse, under the leadership of a famous general like Lian Po, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve victory, right? Chen Ze continued his initial thoughts, but how could this matter be so simple......

Su Yun shook his head very decisively, vetoed Chen Ze's idea, and said in a deep voice: "The fuse is gone, but the main problem has not been dealt with, sooner or later a new fuse will appear again, and the evil consequences of this defeat will still appear." ”

"The main reason? Do you mean that the reason for the defeat of Zhao was not because of the change of generals? Chen Ze was puzzled. He didn't know anything about this history, and of course he didn't know what the main reason for this was, and he thought that the defeat of the Zhao army was simply because of this untimely change of generals, or because of the commander's command error.

However, Su Yun, who has a certain amount of historical knowledge, is not like Chen Ze, he clearly knows the main reason for the defeat of Zhao State. If the experts who have analyzed this period of history are true, the main reason for Zhao's defeat is the difference in the absolute strength of the two countries. This is because war is never only about the quality of the armed forces of the two countries, but also about the economic foundation, politics, and other factors that cannot be seen.

He remembered reading an article about the comparison of the strength of various countries during the Warring States Period, the Qin State mentioned above, both in terms of economic and military strength, was stronger than the six eastern states, although Zhao was the best among the six eastern states, it only had the strength to fight with the Qin state, not the absolute strength to completely defeat the Qin state. After the Shang Dynasty reform, the Qin State not only developed agriculture as the basis of the country's economy and mobilized the production enthusiasm of the people below, but also mobilized the people's fighting enthusiasm through the military merit system. Although the military merit system was also possessed by the Zhao State, it was different from the Zhao State in that the Qin State was more thorough and comprehensive, and the military merit system of the Zhao State benefited the most from the majority of the nobles, rather than the commoners who accounted for the vast majority of the population. And the martial spirit king of Zhao State did greatly increase the national strength of Zhao State, making Zhao State a powerful country with "hundreds of thousands of armor, thousands of cars, and ten thousand horses", but compared with the Qin State, which followed the historical process and went towards the feudal society, it was a big deal.

Although now in the Warring States where they are located, there is a mysterious force similar to the military family and the Zongheng family that is not mentioned in the history books, and they can use it to defeat the Qin army in this battle of Changping, but the Qin State also has strongmen who can manipulate such mysterious forces, and they will also change their generals and replace them with Wu Anjun Bai Qi, who ended this war!

When Su Yun said these things that Chen Ze couldn't consider at all, Chen Ze realized how naΓ―ve that idea was just now, and under the analysis of this kind of historical data, preventing the change of generals would not have much impact on the outcome of the war.

"Is this a losing battle?" Chen Ze asked suspiciously.

"Of course not, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly,......" Su Yun immediately learned the tone of those military experts, denied Chen Ze's idea, and then said: "Of course we have hope to change the outcome of this battle, otherwise why did you ask you to leave or stay before?" If there is no turnaround at all, then why stay? ”

Chen Ze immediately came to his senses, and said to Su Yun with interest: "Tell me quickly, what can you do?" ”

"Didn't I say that both Qin and Zhao would change generals? Is it possible to use the period before the white rises? ”

Chen Ze seemed to understand Su Yun's words, supported his chin with his right hand, and said, "You mean...... Looking for a breakthrough point from the current Qin generals? ”

"Exactly!"

"But at this time, Wang Di, the general of the Qin army, is also a member of the soldiers......"

"Have you forgotten what you just said? Your master and your senior brother still have that general ...... order" Of course, Su Yun would not fail to think of this, and hurriedly reminded Chen Ze of what he had ignored.

"That's right! And them! ”

Chen Ze himself forgot that he now has two members of the Soldier Family, one of whom is still the Venerable of the Soldier Family, although they have not yet recovered their strength, but according to what the Venerable of the previous situation said, if the two of them are together now, they can also compete with Wang Di! In addition, he also has the General's Order, a soldier's secret technique that is not much worse than the soldier's treasure, and what they have is only the first part!

"It seems that I have to talk to Lian Po quickly......" Chen Ze, who had thought about this clearly, said to himself.

"What?" Su Yun asked, this time it was his turn not to understand what Chen Ze meant......

Changping Zhao Jun, Lian Po camp tent.

Chen Ze, who was still in Su Yun's tent just now, had already rushed to the Lian Po camp at this time, but fortunately, his boss, who liked to patrol around on weekdays, was still in the tent, so he immediately said what he was going to say just now.

"Sharp Knife Battalion?" After listening to Chen Ze's words, Lian Po spit out these three words.

Chen Ze knelt down on one knee in front of Lian Po, nodded and replied, "Yes!" Chen Ze asked the general to help me rebuild! ”

It turned out that what Chen Ze wanted to talk to Lian Po about was to rebuild his sharp knife battalion that had long been wiped out, but this is normal, if you want to use the general's order reasonably, you must have such a special force, but now he has no power to establish it privately, and many of the contents involved are not what he can directly operate now. After all, the person with the highest military position in this army is not him, but Lian Po.

The first is the issue of personnel. Now he is not a general stationed in Shangdang, but a general under Lian Po, and there are only more than 2,000 people under him who have escaped from Shangdang, and there is no high-quality soldier source at all. He didn't want to pull a team out of the homeless people this time, he needed a person with a certain level of military literacy, and he didn't want to be wiped out again. The second is the issue of the establishment of the army, the establishment of such a force is likely to break the original army establishment, but Chen Ze, who is currently subordinate to Lian Po, does not have the ability to change this establishment. Therefore, in order to rebuild the Sharp Knife Battalion, it is necessary to obtain Lian Po's permission and support.

"If you think it will be useful for future wars, do it! If you need something, you can come directly to me when the time comes" Although Lian Po said this expressionlessly, his heart had already set off a wave of waves.

When he reported Chen Ze's news to him before, he mentioned this sharp knife battalion and the connection between it and the general's order, at this time, when he heard the name of this sharp knife battalion, how could he not know that he Chen Ze wanted to build another army with the power of the general's order? How could he not react at the thought of this.

"Then thank you General!" Chen Zegang got Lian Po's permission, bowed, and left Lian Po's handsome tent in a hurry.

"With the strength of the generals, it seems that this sharp knife battalion may really become a sharp knife of our army in the future......" Looking at Chen Ze's departing back, Lian said meaningfully.

In the next few days, Chen Ze was immersed in the reconstruction of the Sharp Knife Battalion, but fortunately, he had Lian Po's support and Su Yun's help, so he was not tired of going there, but it made him spend a lot of thought, especially in the establishment of the Sharp Knife Battalion.

Because of Lian Po's support, he was able to carefully select 1,300 soldiers from the army, and these 1,300 people also possessed a certain combat quality and experience as Chen Ze requested. At the very least, they were veterans of several battles, not recruits. These soldiers who have used knives and seen blood are no better than the previous gang of rogue militiamen, they not only have more combat experience than the rogue militia, but also have the aggressive and murderous spirit that can only be reflected after many wars. Although these things don't seem to have much effect in normal times, once they are on the battlefield, it is not difficult to find their impact on the battle situation.

However, instead of changing the size of the army as originally envisaged, he followed the existing military system and re-established the Sharp Knife Battalion on this basis.

1,300 people, according to the existing establishment of the ** team, were divided into "two parts", "two songs", and "one official". Among the three, the "two divisions" are the foundation of the Sharp Knife Battalion, each with 400 people, and each unit is also divided into two songs according to the existing military system, and so on with the battle system. And these two parts also have their own names, one is called the charge, the other is called the trap, and their role is the same as the literal expression of their name, each has its own division of labor. The Charge Division is designed to tear through the enemy's formation and defense line to give the enemy a first round of attack, while the Trap Division is to disrupt the local position and give the enemy a second round of impact.

As for the "Second Song" and "First Official", they were used to coordinate with the two parts of the main part of the Sharp Knife Battalion to attack.

"Two songs", each song has 200 people, one song is called the fearless, which is a special death squad, and the other song is called the broken camp, which is specially used to burn and destroy the enemy's military camps and defense facilities. Finally, there is the "official", and the most special number 100 people: all cavalry!

You must know that during the Warring States Period, cavalry was not the mainstream, and even countries like Zhao, which bordered and were at war with the northern minorities, did not have many cavalry. Even if Zhao had a ranch dedicated to raising horses, the total number of cavalry in the country was only more than 10,000, and their main type of troops, like most countries, was still infantry. This time, King Zhao ordered Lian Po to lead the army to fight against the Qin army, and the hundreds of thousands of people were only more than a thousand cavalry, but in order for Chen Ze to rebuild the sharp knife battalion, a hundred cavalry were allocated at once, which was enough to show Lian Po's support for Chen Ze. Of course, it is precisely because these 100 cavalry have such a special identity that Chen Ze also gave these 100 cavalry a pivotal task to coordinate various departments.

In the fifty-fifth year of King Zhou, in the third month of the lunar calendar, Chen Ze's sharp knife battalion reappeared in the Warring States and the Central Plains!
