The phalanx improved in the later period of Spain was composed of 1/4 spearmen, 3/4 musketeers, and finally a small number of cavalry.

The Spaniards were invincible throughout Europe for two or three hundred years......

Writing this, Zhang Yun stopped the pen in his hand and fell into deep thought.

At present, the army under his command must use front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistols, and it is impossible to play with those indigenous armies.

But the power and effective range of the front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistol, and the rate of fire of the pit daddy...... Obviously, something is not as good as it could be. It can't be used as a single workhorse.

Then at this time, the Spanish phalanx seems to be their only choice!

It's just that it hurts a little that I don't have horses myself, and I don't have the channels to buy horses on a large scale.

In this case, even if you rely on this phalanx, you can win the enemy. When you want to expand your results, you will definitely be dumbfounded!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yun really didn't think of how to conjure horses out of nothing, and in desperation, he had to put this idea. Hold it in your heart for the time being. I'm starting to think about expanding the army!

Since the military uniforms were unified for the veterans, Zhao Bo and Liu Feng have begun to take them down the mountain to catch the strong men, and they must have reached their psychological bottom line now......

……

Today's valley is a little crowded, densely packed with captured strong men. Driven away by veterans who were far less numerous than them, honestly, each squatting on the ground.

This scene made Zhang Yun feel a little emotional, why are the ordinary people of the Chinese people always like this? You don't know how to resist until someone else's knife is on their neck. It's a pity that when they get there, they have lost the opportunity, how much can they resist?

In fact, if these people dare to break out, without their own presence, seven or eight hundred veterans will definitely have to sit on wax!

But it's a pity that none of them have the guts to do so. can only be honestly treated like pigs and dogs......

Fortunately, Zhang Yun had something to do today, so he didn't continue to sigh. Instead, he walked straight to the high platform in the middle of the valley.

Liu Feng, who received Zhang Yun's hint, suddenly sounded the rallying call at this moment.

The piercing whistle also caught the seven or eight hundred veterans who were still suppressing more strong men a little unprepared at the moment.

But the military order fell like a mountain, and the seven or eight hundred veterans quickly put down all the work in their hands and immediately rushed to the point general......

This incomparably neat and majestic scene opened the eyes of many soil buns.

For the first time, the idea of "the army can be like this" was born in the hearts of many people. ”

Today, Zhang Yun is ready to make a quick decision and form his own forces as soon as possible. So I didn't bother with the thoughts of those strong men. Immediately began to announce the reorganization plan, as well as the military rank system that he had concocted.

First of all, Zhang Yun gave all the veterans the military positions of platoon commander and platoon deputy, as well as the corresponding military ranks.

As for the military positions above the company level, then it is naturally merit-based admission!

What is the merit-based admission method? When the veterans listened to it, they collapsed directly!

It turned out that Zhang Yun actually used the level of literacy to determine the level of military rank, a promotion method that had never been heard of since ancient times.

This practice caused great dissatisfaction below, after all, it has only been about three months of cultural classes. Many veterans don't even know a thousand commonly used simplified characters, but Zhang Yun uses them as a condition for promotion. directly made all the veterans below dumbfounded.

Of course, they who have been suppressed by Zhang Yun twice in a row naturally don't dare to jump out and fight against Zhang Yun at this time. So that Zhang Yun was able to smoothly announce his army expansion plan.

In fact, there is only one thing next, and that is to forcibly organize the new strong men into new recruits. And select the outstanding ones from them to serve as squad leaders.

As for what is excellent, for these strong men who don't know a single word. Naturally, he spoke with his fists and feet......

……

"Blacksmith Li, you have made it this time!"

"Yes, the most important thing is not to forget to take care of your brothers!"

As soon as Zhang Yun's promotion conditions were announced, the veterans naturally knew who should be promoted, after all, they had a few catties and taels for each other. When you get along day and night, it is impossible to hide it from others. Therefore, the promotion process of veterans can be described as calm, and the slightest wave has not been stirred.

But the recruits are different, at this moment, they are tall and tall, and they are famous for their bravery, and they are beside Li Blacksmith, who is famous for his bravery. Naturally, it was already surrounded by a group of fellow villagers.

After all, people are in groups, especially in this strange place.

But the compliments of others did not make Blacksmith Li very happy. To say that you are flattered by everyone, but you don't have a little vanity, that is a lie.

But at this moment, Blacksmith Li, as long as he thinks of his wife and daughter who were robbed by the bandits. Suddenly, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed......

What's more, in the final analysis, the profession of banditry is not a profession that can glorify one's ancestors. Therefore, Blacksmith Li didn't want to work for the bandits from the bottom of his heart. It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

Even now that I am forced to come here to prepare for the draft. Blacksmith Li also made up his mind and decided to do things perfunctorily......

The people next to him may have seen that Blacksmith Li was not in a state of mind, and probably guessed why. So there are smart people who are ready to plan ahead for a rainy day!

After all, if Blacksmith Li hadn't taken the share that belonged to him, then the dozen or so fellow villagers who were now hugging him would have been miserable. It will inevitably be suppressed......

"Blacksmith Li, you have to think clearly, now all of our wives and children have been robbed by the bandits to the back mountain...... This includes your family, and if the idea of not wanting to work for the bandits is seen by the bandits, will this be the consequences? Of course you know! ”

"Moreover, and with our skills, it is definitely more likely to become a bandit minions, and only you Blacksmith Li can get out of the way with your skills."

"So if you don't fight, Blacksmith Li, we will all become bandits in the future, what will our family do?" Blacksmith Li looked back at Baozheng Li Bei, who had a serious face although he tried his best to lower his voice, and the corners of his mouth squirmed for a while, wanting to say something, but he fell into deep thought.

There was no reaction to the subsequent coaxing of the people in the same village......

I have to say that what Baozheng Li Bei said is very reasonable, Blacksmith Li only thought about not serving the bandits before, but he didn't think that if he didn't get out of the way, I was afraid that his family would suffer a greater crime!

Now, Li Bei put it bluntly, Blacksmith Li couldn't help but gradually change his previous thoughts, looking at the eyes of the old bandits who were building a martial arts platform. It's also getting sharper......
