"Drumming! Gather troops! ”

On the big camp and the huge school field, with the order of the great Sima Sun Wu, the dull and murderous war drums sounded, and the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded.

After the three drums were over, the soldiers of the Wu army who were in the camp all heard the sound.

Whether it was drilling, cooking, or taking a lunch break, when they heard the sound of drums, they hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, picked up weapons, and went to the school field to assemble in a line.

The Wu army is up and down, and there is a strict division of the establishment.

Generally speaking, the establishment of infantry is divided into six levels, that is, five people in a team, and one captain in the army.

The second army is what, and the chief is one person.

Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief.

Two tuns are hundred, and one hundred generals are set up.

Five hundred, five hundred masters.

a thousand, two or five hundred lords.

Among them, the "two or five hundred masters" are also called "thousand people", and they are already middle-level officers.

It is worth mentioning that the wartime organization of the state of Wu was formed into a large-scale combat unit on the basis of the peacetime establishment, which is generally called the trilogy system.

The specific method of organization is as follows: First, the total strength of the troops is determined according to the situation of the combat object and other aspects, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces (that is, the general and the general, also known as the metropolitan governor).

Under the commander-in-chief, according to the needs of the operation and the total number of troops, a number of generals (four deputy generals, general Pi, also commonly known as generals) are appointed.

Each general commands a department, and the head of the department is called a captain, that is, a department and a school.

Each subordinate has a number of songs, and the commander of the song is called the military candidate, that is, one song and one waiting.

The following is the establishment of the army, such as the thousand men of the infantry (set up two or five hundred masters).

500 men (500 lords), 100 men (100 generals), 50 men (commanders), 10 men (commanders), 5 men (commanders), and a small number of chariots and cavalry.

Commanders at all levels, from 500 to above, have their own personal guards, accounting for about one-tenth of the total strength under their command.

For example, the guard of the five hundred lords is fifty, the guard of the two or five hundred lords is one hundred, the guard of the captain is one thousand, the guard of the general is four thousand, and so on.

All the shoguns and above had an operational command structure, called the shogunate.

The shogunate had various command organs and staff members, numbering in the dozens.

After the end of the combat operation, the command structure above the Qu level will be abolished, the general will hand over the military authority, the troops will return to their peacetime structure, and the soldiers will be reorganized or demobilized respectively.

In addition, it is the establishment of the cavalry of the Wu army, which is a group of four cavalry, three groups of one column, nine columns of one hundred and eight cavalry, and can belong to six chariots.

This is roughly similar to the establishment of "five cavalry and one chief, ten cavalry and one official, one hundred cavalry and one rate, and two hundred cavalry and one general" mentioned in the chapter of "Liutao Junbing", but it is different.

In the absence of infantry cooperation, the charioteers are divided into one side (i.e., one line), two sides are divided into a group of sixteen times, and four groups of sixty-four times are a team.

This is also quite close to the compilation of "five cars and one long, ten cars and one official, fifty cars and one rate, and one hundred cars and one general" mentioned in the chapter of "Liutao Junbing", but it is different.

When there are infantry subordinates, the army of Wu is a grassroots unit with one military vehicle, three armor soldiers, and eight foot soldiers, six vehicles as a group, and eighteen vehicles plus a command vehicle as a team.

This is very different from the establishment of up to seventy-two people per year of marching in the army of the kingdom of the heavens.

The reason for this lies in the development of the arms and the separation of vehicles and infantry.

Qingji knew that in the general trend of the war in the future, the charioteers would be gradually eliminated and replaced by cavalry, which would become the backbone of the war.

The Spring and Autumn Period was the heyday of car warfare, with the car as the mainstay, the car and the foot combined, with the needs of the war and the expansion of the soldiers, the car infantry increased from 10 and 30 to 72 people.

After entering the Warring States period, the infantry became an independent branch of the army, and replaced the chariot soldiers and occupied the dominant position, and the chariots, infantry, and cavalry were gradually organized separately according to the arms, so the chariot infantry became less and less.

By the Qin Dynasty, the car, infantry, and cavalry divisions had become customized, and the coordination in combat was the coordination of the arms rather than the mixture of the establishment.

Therefore, the phenomenon of combining cars and infantry is rare, and the number of foot soldiers per passenger is reduced to eight during the compilation.

In fact, Qingji was reluctant to invent stirrups and horseshoes, and equipped a large number of cavalry of Wu State to create an elite iron cavalry that could sweep the world.

However, Wu is located in the south and is not suitable for raising war horses.

Compared with the horses in the Central Plains and the north, the horses in the south have shorter legs and feet, and their body size is not large enough, and their explosive power is not as strong as that of the horses in the north.

The only thing that is commendable about southern horses is that they have a lot of stamina.

However, in real warfare, cavalry combat, the advantage of war horses is still in explosive power, not staying power.

Therefore, although Qingji also spent a lot of money to build horse farms in various places, and invited many people who are good at raising horses as "Bi Ma Wen" to breed better war horses for Wu State.

However, due to the natural environment, no matter how good the war horses bred by Bi Ma Wen are, they are always inferior to the horses produced in the Central Plains and the north.

It is only in terms of chariots that the inferiority of the southern horse will not be highlighted.

Qingji knew how terrible a cavalry with stirrups and horseshoes was.

Throughout the entire era of cold weapons, all dynasties and dynasties, from the south to dominate the world, only Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty.

Because in that era, with the invention of artillery and firearms, the superiority of cavalry had been gradually weakened.

After the emergence of a series of thermal weapons such as the Maxim machine gun, the nomads in the northern steppes became even more "good at singing and dancing".

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "one Han enemy and five Hu", and the Tang Dynasty also rose up once, but after the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty was completely inferior in the face of the barbarians outside the Saiwai......

In this era, the strength of the Rongdi, Donghu and other foreign races in the north and west was not strong, and they were pressed to the ground by the vassal states around China.

If Qingji was the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, or the monarchs of the Yan Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom, after holding the power, he would definitely invent stirrups and horseshoes.

It's just that Qingji, who is in the state of Wu, how can he be stupid enough to invent stirrups and horseshoes now?

Isn't that looking for death?

Qingji could predict that once Wu formed an elite iron cavalry, the countries would definitely follow suit, and when the war intensified, Wu would lose the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains.

Qingji doesn't want to bury thunder for himself and the future monarch of Wu State!

His ambition is to dominate the world, not to stick to this one-third of an acre in the south!

"Ten thousand years of the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Kingdom! ”

"Ten thousand years of the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Kingdom! ”

When Qingji ascended to the high platform surrounded by a group of generals, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu Army on the school field all shouted loudly, angry and angry!

Qingji looked around and saw the strict Wu military formation on the school field, all of which were crimson uniforms, like an ocean, endless......

This made Qingji very satisfied.
