Chapter 59: Under the Expansion of the Provisional Army (The First of the Twelve Watches)
Not to mention, after pulling up such a batch of cannon fodder and temporary militia, Lei Zihao felt that his compulsion instantly rose several levels, and before he knew it, he already had an army of 3,000!
No wonder the ancient army was hundreds of thousands at every turn, maybe the bulk of it was similar to cannon fodder and militia, well, maybe there were a number of logistics people!
In this way, it is reasonable for hundreds of thousands of troops to be dispatched from the war between the two countries in ancient China, after all, as long as it is a man, it can be, well, a man who can walk......
Pylos cannon fodder is Lei Zihao's important experiment on the future army, if you want the world to identify with yourself, war is the simplest and most direct way, and it is also the way with the greatest benefits, and war is to kill many people, if you fill it with the lives of yellow people, even if the all-out war system is given to thousands of displaced people from time to time, it can't withstand consumption!
Even the bug-like orc army has been pressed into this granny by various races in the world, so you can imagine how frequent wars are in this world!
Therefore, Lei Zihao must look for a consumable that can be used and does not feel distressed, in his conception, the future army will present a three-level structure, the first level is naturally similar to the core elite of Wei Wushu and Spartan warriors, and the second level is the regular type of troops produced after the third level of the city, and it is also the main force of combat!
The third level is the cannon fodder minions that are used to consume the enemy's arrows and living forces!
Listening to Li Qingmei, the people of Pylos also have a population of hundreds of thousands, if these people are killed, the killing experience gained is considerable, but for Lei Zihao, who has a small population, it is still impossible to maximize the benefits!
Therefore, using some indifferent sweetness to envelop a group of Pylos young and strong to act as cannon fodder is the king!
These two thousand Pilos prisoners of war are the first people to eat crabs, as long as they don't be too embarrassed, they will collapse when they come up, and they don't even know his mother, which proves that Lei Zihao's way is feasible!
Lei Zihao was in the town hall, admiring his sudden surge in strength, when he suddenly thought of a question, the military strength had reached more than three thousand, and the establishment he had set before seemed too petty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lei Zihao, who was in a state of excitement, did it when he thought of it, and began to conceive a higher-level military organization!
Originally, the army of Longhan Town was a team of five people, two soldiers and one tithe, ten tithes for a team, and five teams for a battalion, except for the special elite, the battalion level was the basic combat unit, that is, for the infantry, a battalion was a small phalanx!
Each battalion Lei Zihao sends an additional reliable person as the captain, the captain can designate up to two captains as his deputy, the captain can have up to twenty people of the guard, but the extra soldiers must be recruited and supported by the captain himself, each battalion has its own military flag, the flag bearer is generally served by the captain's own soldiers, in addition to the captain's personal soldiers, each battalion is allowed to draw no more than 50 people of the gendarmerie, this gendarmerie directly belongs to the captain to maintain military discipline!
In this way, a battalion can be regarded as an independent unit, which is also a foreshadowing made by Lei Zihao in advance for the future expansion of the army!
The militia team set up two battalions, and the captains were all veterans with combat experience in the elite spearmen.
Moreover, these more than 1,000 militias will also be disbanded after the war, otherwise, if more than 1,000 young people are fed, Lei Zihao will collapse!
More than 2,000 Pylos prisoners of war are divided into 4 battalions, and the captains and captains are all from Longhan Town, who hold the command of the prisoners of war cannon fodder from the top, and none of these Pylos prisoners of war are former Pylos army officers, they are all scattered soldiers!
Well, there are already so many people, and it is obvious that there will be another combat unit above the battalion level, and I don't need to be like the natives of this world, just call it the 'regiment' that I am used to!
The two battalions are a standard regiment, and I would like to designate an additional one to join the army, and the army can have up to 100 people in the Tooth Guard part-time gendarmerie! In order to fight as a basic combat unit, you can match the corresponding different battalion-level troops to fight together at any time, and you can split them at will according to the needs of wartime!
Four battalions are fully formed, and an additional commander is appointed, and the commander can have up to one battalion-level personal guard, and have the regiment's exclusive civilian miscellaneous team, which is a wartime establishment! The number of people in a full group is between 2,000 and 3,000.
In the future, when the army is expanded, the commander should be the lowest independent combat commander!
Nowadays, this is enough, and the Pilos prisoners of war cannon fodder just set up a commander, and the militia set up a military member, which can be regarded as the most basic military rank and military position.
Of course, in the army system set up by Lei Zihao, the gap between the three levels is huge, for example, Leonidas is only a personal guard captain, but he has the right to military transfer and temporary command second only to Lei Zihao!
There is also the captain of Wei Wushu, whose official rank on the surface is also greater than that of the commander of the cannon fodder and the joining of the militia!
This is important!
After the establishment was set, Lei Zihao listed a series of names of senior officers, and then assigned them one by one, and the military system of Longhan Town began to move towards large-scale regularization from this moment!
Relying solely on Longhan Town and Megara City, it is natural that it cannot afford more than 3,000 full-time standing troops, which is an ancient time when the productivity was backward to the level of a pit god!
Whether it is the two thousand Pylos prisoners of war cannon fodder, or the more than a thousand militiamen, they are all improvised, and after training collectively for a period of time and defeating the gnolls, they will do what they should do!
It is commonly known as a soldier in wartime and a farmer on weekdays, but he may not be a farmer on weekdays, and he may also be a coolie......
In this way, the town of Longhan spent several weeks of dull days in intensive training and large-scale construction, and the sentry posts arranged in the jungle of Thebes finally brought the news of the attack of the jackals!
At this time, the farmland on the periphery of Longhan Town had already expanded to the edge of the Tibes jungle, and the lumberjacks and slaves in the lumberyard were also diligently devouring the area of the Theban jungle every day to provide raw materials for the secondary buildings that Lei Zihao was building at the same time!
The original wooden piles have long been demolished, and Lei Zihao, who advocates that attack is the best defense, in order to save costs, has no intention of building a city wall at all, and Longhan Town is not bound by the city wall, so it is naturally open to expansion!
The advantage of this development model is that it saves money quickly, and the disadvantages are obvious, without the protection of the city wall, the army of Longhan Town can only resist the enemy outside Longhan Town with flesh and blood!
If Lei Zihao wants to continue this development model, he must have a strong enough field army to deter Xiaoxiao!
