Such an arrangement is much more efficient and cost-effective than Li Zicheng's "three walls" or Zhang Xianzhong's "leader".

If you think about it, if the throw of the bow and arrow only causes 10% of the damage of the enemy's cavalry, the same is true for the javelin, the probability of stabbing the horse is higher, which is counted as 20%, that is, before the official entanglement with the enemy in close combat, the enemy can cause 30% or 40% of the battle damage.

Such an effect, put on the general team, before the contact is estimated to collapse, even if it does not collapse, it will make the enemy hurt the like, and the morale will be greatly reduced, which will lay the foundation for the victory of the next real contact battle.

Of course, this is not to say that the tactics of the "three walls" and "leaders" are without merit.

After carrying out the long-range (stabbing the war horse is also a kind of long-range) attack before the above engagement, Long 13 still planned to adopt the tactics of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

However, he made a compromise between the tactics of the two.

The so-called "three walls" means that the cavalry is divided into three teams, one team after another to attack the enemy formation, and the three teams are all charged in a tight wall style, and those who can survive the "three walls" type charge will become the leaders or cronies of the battalion, and the treatment is naturally far better than that of others.

The same is true for the "leader", but Zhang Xianzhong is more ruthless, and his cavalry needs to survive a total of ten charges to enter the leader's ranks.

The wall charge is something that Long Thirteen will not do, the price is too high, or a kind of gamble, the bet is that the other party will be terrified when he sees the dense cavalry "coming like a wall", and he does not dare to engage head-on, but turns around and runs.

But once the enemy charges in this way, the cavalry on both sides is expendable.

As for how to deal with the entangled with the enemy horse, at the moment Long Thirteen only thought of the javelin technique, each of them was equipped with three javelins like him, if he did not stab the war horse when he rushed into battle, he would not be entangled with the enemy in front of him, and continued to move forward, and continued to stab the next enemy horse with his spear.

If the enemy is far away, be the first to shoot with a javelin.

In this way, Long 13 believed that in this world, there should be no army that could endure up to fifty percent of the battle losses without retreating, and once the enemy fled, unless he ran desperately regardless of horsepower, he would become a live target for the archers.

For hand-to-hand combat, archers and cavalry, they will make a distinction in terms of salary, marriage, promotion, etc., which is the same as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's approach, you want to get ahead under the command of Long Thirteen, although the risk is the greatest among the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the cavalry, but the treatment is the best.

With 20,000 taels of silver, Long 13 decided to pay his troops.

Of course, due to the fluctuation of the ranks, the so-called salary is paid when there is money, and when there is no money, it can only ensure food and clothing, he considered, "I don't have more people to manage and carry this money, it is better to distribute it to the soldiers."

The pikemen are paid one or two months each, and the cavalry is two taels, no way, who called the cavalry too scarce.

In this way, he only spent 300 taels a month, but he had 20,000 taels, which could be used for more than a year, and when the time came, he would rob them, who called them thieves.

What? Do you want to do business? That means you're not a good thief.

Although they were all cavalrymen, the average salary of hand-to-hand combatants was two and a half, and the bow cavalry was only one and a half, and so on.

Long Thirteen calculated in his heart, and after taking into account all factors, he roughly had a bottom.

"Therefore, in a cavalry battle, it is very likely that your side will exchange at most 10% of the battle loss for about 50% of the enemy's battle loss, so that the enemy will run and even flee, and then inflict another 1 to 20% damage on him in the pursuit battle, then this battle will be considered a complete victory."

"Besides, this is an alienated world in the late Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers can gain one point in the assignment with one more point of practice, and under the high-intensity training, my army will soon be able to catch up with the enemy's elite."

Of course, everything is a good wish, everything is just on the right track, and it is difficult to say what the results will be.

As for the pikemen, it's obviously what Dragon Thirteen is best at.

After recruiting another 100 men at Qinglongdu, he had 200 pikemen under his command.

As the main force to protect the old camp and the town guard, Long Thirteen also took great pains to train the spear battalion.

Although he made plans to "train for three months", he also knew that it was mostly impossible, and it was impossible for the Ming army to sit back and watch you rest and train in one place, not to mention that he still had "tasks" to complete.

He prepared for two months and twenty days of training, leaving ten days to suppress the bandits.

So, in this month's time, he asked all the cavalry and pikemen to let go of their stomachs to eat, and naturally they had to train well.

In the past, although he had trained, he was in a hurry, and rarely had such a relatively calm time as now.

For pikemen, unlike cavalry, they relied on physical strength and endurance more than strength because they were infantry troops.

So, Dragon Thirteen's training method for them is:

Every day, I wake up and run ten laps around the small school field, and then have breakfast.

In the morning, he conducted a queue training, but fortunately he still had ten "veteran" soldiers who returned from injuries and returned to the team, so there was no need for him to personally correct the queue full of mistakes and omissions.

The pikemen are the most numerous of his military branches, and it is impossible for them all to become masters of marksmanship, so they can only form a tight formation to fight.

That's where queues come in.

For the queue, Long Thirteen from later generations was very familiar, so after breakfast, the military posture, lining up in a line, turning back and forth, left and right, emergency assembly and other familiar training for later generations were carried out in an area of the small school field of Qinglong Fort.

For the branches of the military that rely on the formation of operations, the queue is the most important, think about it, it is better to say that it is better to arrange the formation in advance, if you suddenly encounter the enemy, the one who can quickly form a formation in a short time will naturally have a great advantage.

But in normal times, training is carried out in a fixed open field, and in an encounter, any terrain is possible, so how many people are in a row and how many rows to line up need to be decided on an impromptu basis, which requires training.

As for the title of officer, he still adopted the usual name of a thief with ten people and one sentry, fifty people and one sentry, and four sentry as a battalion.

Naturally, the number of cavalry should be halved on the basis of the infantry army, that is, a full battalion of only 100 people.

In the morning, the queue training, the afternoon is the bayonet training, just like the cavalry needs to carry out the bayonet training, and there are three kinds of standing bayonet guns, mobile bayonet guns, and running bayonet guns, and each type comes up a hundred times a day.

Before dinner, half an hour of strength training was conducted, and Long 13 asked the carpenters in the old camp to place the horizontal bars and parallel bars of the later generations, plus push-ups and sit-ups, and it was almost the same.

Heavy endurance, heavy queue, that's right, in this world, there are not many people who can ride horses, and those who can shoot arrows on horses, dance knives and make guns are definitely not ordinary people, the rest are ordinary people, you have to let them practice a body of muscles and martial arts, it is neither possible nor realistic.

Ten days later, the pikemen came to the main event.

Queue up for spurt!

How to stab, of course, is to brush the "left stab" and "right stab".

Only the left or right stab, in order to use the strength of the whole body to the maximum, but also the most convenient, if it is a person, you simply stab left or right, then there is only a dead end, but a row of dozens of people brush out of the stab, or the longest weapon, then the opposite side has only one result - death!

If you can train the column to the extreme, only cavalry, heavy cavalry, and heavy infantry wearing several layers of armor can resist it in this world.

The reason why the white pole soldiers in Sichuan were able to face the Jianzhou Jurchens when fighting in Liaodong is here.

The most powerful thing for the Manchurians is the infantry, and the most powerful is of course a layer of cotton armor, a layer of iron armor, and the Bayala infantry army with a big sword and a heavy axe.

However, even the Bayala of the Manchurians is less than 10% of the banners, and there are only 10 to 30 Bayalas in a bull, and it is estimated that there are only 300 Niulu in the heyday of the Manchurians, so his Bayala is only 10,000 at most, and there are only about 1,000 people scattered in each banner.

Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, as long as the pikemen who do not move like a mountain, are as fast as the wind, and are as swift as a forest, and plundering like fire are well trained, for the thieves who act with a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, they will get twice the result with half the effort.

However, if the pikemen want to stand out in the sequence of thieves and cavalry, they must have a pair of iron feet, and after training them in queues and spurs, Dragon Thirteen will not be able to run ten laps twice in the morning and evening.

Every three or five days, it was also pulled to the distance from Qinglongdu to the Yellow River crossing for a 50-mile stretching exercise.

Of course, even in the spear battalion that pays attention to the array, it is still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the warriors standing in the first few rows are still the warriors in the team.

Although the spear battalion does not pay much attention to strength, these people are undoubtedly the ones with greater strength, because the spear they hold in their hands is one foot longer than the ordinary spear, and the length of the ordinary spear of the Ming Dynasty is one zhang and one foot, while the one in these hands is one zhang and two feet.

It's a foot longer, the material is better, it's naturally heavier, and it can't be held without a little strength, and there are two reasons why Long Thirteen arranged it like this.

The first is that when encountering the enemy's cavalry, they can immediately form a formation to stop the cavalry, and the second is that when encountering the enemy's elite infantry or when the terrain is unfavorable, they can be the candidate to break through the enemy's formation.

The average salary of a pikeman was one tael, and that of these men was one or a half, and that of an ordinary pikeman was eight cents.

Speaking of salaries, at this time, there were no other branches in the thirty-sixth battalion except for the head of the thirteenth camp of Long Thirteen.

The thieves who were just starting out did not have the strength to pay salaries, and they did not realize the benefits of paying salaries, so they could only absorb those homeless people who were really forced to live because of life, as well as bandits and bandits who liked to kill people and set fires, and these people would not easily defect from the ranks.

If you want to absorb a large number of unpaid soldiers, the combat effectiveness of this team can be imagined, and the thieves in real history did not realize this problem until Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong went out of the mountain again ten years later, of course, this is also related to the fact that they conquered big cities like Xiangyang and Luoyang and seized a lot of property.

At this time, in addition to the family members of the Ming army, the remaining soldiers were generally in arrears of salaries, and they couldn't even eat enough, so how could they have any combat effectiveness, and the Manchurians would enter the customs from time to time to continuously attract and eliminate the elite of the border army, and it was a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty declined.

Decline is a matter of time, but it is debatable to whom the world should fall.

After Long 13 personally led the team to train in the spear camp for ten days, he threw the team to Yuan Zongdi and Bai Wenxuan to supervise the training.

As for Zhao Sheng and Hui Dengxiang, they also carried out drills in their respective places, and as a result, a big drill in the lantern camp in Qinglongdu Fort began.
