Chapter 480: Infantry Army

Zhong Hui can be praised by people all over the world, of course, he is not a person who has lost his name.

After 100,000 Chinese troops entered Chang'an, they immediately restored the defensive line set up by Chen Tai that year.

Ten miles of a beacon, twenty miles of a barracks, fifty miles of a dock fort, from Huaili down the Weishui, Pingling, Xianyang, Changling, Gaoling, Xiadi all in series.

He also searched for nearly 10,000 people, Di people, and Qiang people in the Qinling Mountains, migrated to the south of Weishui, and forcibly recruited more than 20,000 people such as Hongnong and Shangluo to be Tuntian guests, and reclaimed fertile land with soldiers, and set up Tuntian Commander, Qu Chang, and Tun Chief, with every 100 people as a tun, and tenants and guards.

The government provided seeds, cattle and farm tools, and the government only collected 50% of the military rations, and the remaining 50% was distributed to the soldiers and tuntianke.

The bell will order the officials to inspect the fields, and the diligent and industrious will be rewarded with cloth, and the lazy will be whipped in public.

The south of Weishui is rapidly full of life.

The Liangzhou rangers were blocked in the north of Weishui, and they attacked several times in vain, so they could only return to Guzang to give orders to Yang Zheng.

"Zhong Hui governs the army and the people, the rewards and punishments are clear, the generals and colonels are not slack, the soldiers are well guarded, and the strong attack is unfavorable, and the subordinates can only lead the army back." Wen Yang arched his hand.

If Zhonghui only has an army of 40,000, 5,000 cavalry can gallop through the pass.

But with an army of 140,000 and 5,000 cavalry, there is no bargain.

Attacking and disturbing, this is to try the water of Zhonghui.

It is unrealistic to expect Wen Yang and 5,000 cavalry to pry Zhonghui's 140,000 army.

"There is a degree of advance and retreat, and the whole army is returned, which is already meritorious." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Every time Wen Yang appeared, Liu Heng, who was guarding him, had an abnormal expression.

And since he subdued Wenyang, this guy should no longer call himself the first general in Liangzhou, so it can be seen that he is still a little self-aware.

"General Xie!" Wen Yang's expression relaxed.

"Does Ciqian think the Chinese army is worthy of the enemy?" Yang Zheng asked casually, after all, he had been to the front line, observed the situation in Weishui, and experienced the Shouchun War last year, so he had a certain understanding of the weaknesses and advantages of the Chinese army.

Although Yang Zheng came from the Chinese army, after so many years, he no longer knew the personnel of Luoyang.

Sima Zhao usurped the throne and continued to expand the size of the Chinese army in recent years.

Yang Zheng's third battalion of personal guards is actually copying Cao Wei's Chinese army system.

Wen Yang was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Yang Zheng to ask him for advice, and after a little thought, he said: "The director of the Chinese army is in the infantry army, and the soldiers are well-trained, if there are good generals to lead, they can dominate the world, with all due respect to their subordinates, if each leads an army of 100,000 to face each other, there are Chen Tai, Zhong Hui, Chen Qian, Zhou Tai and others as former generals, and after Sima Zhaodu, our army is difficult to match!" ”

Liu Heng next to him snorted disdainfully.

Strategically you can defy your opponent, but tactically you need to pay attention.

The Chinese army has also survived from bloody battles over the years, and of course its combat strength will not be bad, and what it is best at is frontal combat with large corps.

The advantage of cavalry is in mobility, but the advantage of the Chinese army is in the flat push of Mount Tai.

If the frontal battlefield cannot be stopped, no matter how organic the cavalry is, it will be in vain.

In the face of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of infantry arrays, the cavalry actually couldn't get any benefits.

The failures of Biqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan can be glimpsed to the end.

The Chinese army is full of deep ditches and high fortifications, with defense as the attack, and the barracks, antlers, and trenches are layered on top of each other, and the cavalry is most afraid of these things.

"Is there a good plan for Ciqian?"

"The subordinates think that the prince should strengthen the foot soldiers, train the infantry formation, and block the Chinese army with the help of cities and passes, so that the cavalry can do something."

It is true that cavalry is the king of the battlefield, but the battlefield is divided into many kinds, you have cavalry, and the enemy also has it, hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of hands, can change the terrain in an instant.

And cavalry is not omnipotent, affected by factors such as weather, terrain, logistical supplies, etc.

The infantry army can fight in all weather and all-terrain.

In the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 White Horse Yi was abused by Lu Yi's 1,000 crossbowmen and 800 first.

The consumption of cavalry is also much higher than that of infantry, and one cavalryman can raise five infantry.

If the three foot soldiers cooperate tacitly, they can definitely take down a cavalryman.

If you continue to convert it like this, Liangzhou can't bear it.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty prevailed in the tactics of infantry and cavalry coordination, and it is recorded in the historical records: in the spring of the fourth year of Yuan Hunting, the general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Qubing each had 50,000 cavalry, and the infantry turned into hundreds of thousands...... Salty attack on the Huns Shan Yu.

"Cavalry for spears, infantry for shields!" Yang Zheng instantly understood the meaning of Wen Yang.

"Exactly." The more Wen Yang talked, the more speculative he became.

Although he was famous all over the world, he was actually very miserable, when Wen Qin raised his army, Sima Shi killed the Wen clan in Luoyang and Qian County.

After Zhuge killed Wen Qin, Wen Yang and Wen Hu had no choice but to vote for Sima Zhao again, and the only remaining family scroll left in Jianye was killed by Sun Qi, the butcher of Eastern Wu.

turned to the world and became famous, but he was alone, leaving only his own brother Wenhu.

Liu Heng snorted again.

Yang Zheng and Wen Yang's eyes came at the same time, Liu Heng's eyes looked at his nose and nose, as if nothing had happened, only a pair of dishonest eyes were rolling in his bones.

"I wonder what Renwu has to teach me? You might as well say it, Ciqian and I will listen to you. Yang Zheng grimaced.

Liu Heng slapped his ass with a serious face, "Wherever the prince points to, a certain mace will hit!" ”

"I'm asking you what to do."

"Yes, what to do?" Liu Heng looked bitter, "If you fight, you will fight, what countermeasures do you want, you cut me, I will cut you, it will be over." ”

Wen Yang, who has always been serious, also held back.

"Renyou, give this guy another fifty military sticks."

Pang Qing took out a small notebook and pen, dipped his saliva, and added another stroke to Liu Heng.

If there are too many lice, you don't have to bite, and if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry, but Liu Heng doesn't care.

The cavalry should be taken seriously, and the infantry should also be taken seriously.

Historically, there were iron harriers in Western Xia, as well as Bubazi.

Sieges, mountain battles, river crossings, defenses, etc., the main force is footmen.

The local government soldiers are almost all foot soldiers, and the government soldiers have participated in these major battles, and the combat effectiveness shown is not bad, so it is only necessary to strengthen the training and equipment of the government soldiers.

Among the 50,000 pro-army, there were originally 20,000 foot soldiers.

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered the pikemen when they broke through Chang'an that day, killing all sides on the city wall, more flexible than a spear, larger than the attack range of the ring head knife, saving strength, stabbing forward, and then retracting, just two actions, strong lethality, strong armor-piercing power, easy to train, fast to form an army, save materials, with iron armor to enhance defense, the advantage is too obvious, most suitable for short-handed combat.

An elite infantry soldier of the pro-army, equipped with a set of leather armor or a set of cold forging armor, a spear, a short weapon, a short knife and a halberd, a crossbow machine, fifty crossbow arrows, and the weight of the whole body is about fifty catties.

There are Lu Zhi, Du Pre, Suo Jing, Zhang Wei and others in government affairs, supervised by the Xuanyi Division, and Yang Zheng can personally train 20,000 pro-army foot soldiers.

Zhang Te, Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, Wen Yang and others assisted the left.

Deng Ai's military training skills, Zhuge Dan, Wen Qin's military training skills, and Wu Jun's methods are all integrated into them, and they can be regarded as absorbing the strengths of others.

After half a month's effort, an infantry army was basically formed.
