Chapter 44: The Formal Formation of the Army, the Development of the Tribes (Ask for Follow-up, Chase a Hundred Chapters, Three Chapters a Day)

The development of the iron pulley block and that set of gear devices did not go well, and the cycads said a lot of problems. If it is built by 100 steels, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. But using ordinary pig iron is definitely not up to the standard of use.

The pulley block wants to be stable and reliable, and it will not be too laborious to build it with 100 steel.

Laborious and clueless is the set of hand-cranked devices, which require gears, which can be more demanding and difficult to build.

It can take a lot of time to get them out. In this case, the work of forging the armor of the weapon will have to stop.

Su Yu thought about it, weapons and armor are still very important, although there are not a few Tang knives made at all now, and Mingguang armor is only a half-finished product.

"Let's make these two things first, Tang Dao and Mingguang Armor have also learned it, right?" Su Yu said.

"Both of them have learned, and several of the apprentices have advanced to junior blacksmiths, and they are able to craft ordinary weapons on their own." Su Tie said with a smile.

The other two blacksmiths, although not as talented as cycads, were not bad, and it only took a little more time to master these forging knowledge.

Now that there are more blacksmiths in the tribe, Su Yu feels that there is no need to smash the Tang Dao and Mingguang armor now, it is enough to make some ordinary iron weapons, and the same is true for armor.

After studying the armor and Tang knife for so long, Su Tie also felt that it was still too reluctant for the tribe to build the Tang knife and Mingguang armor now, and it was really difficult to install it.

There are several simplified versions of the Tang knife building method, the Tang knife is indeed a very good weapon, and the Mingguang armor is also a very good armor, these two appeared in this era and the same as the cold weapon era with a sword and a tank, dimensionality reduction strike.

"Then let's build simpler armor and weapons first."

In fact, the axe can also be used as a weapon, but Su Yu feels that it is not necessary, the axe is still not suitable for the battlefield compared to a special weapon.

The cavalry was equipped with a horse lance, and the infantry was equipped with a broadsword. Su Yu also summoned Su Xun and Su Yun to discuss the formation of an army.

The term army first appeared in the tribe, before which there were only warriors, and these warriors were soldiers in wartime and hunting in leisure time.

Compared to real soldiers, the warriors of the tribe are far behind.

Now Su Yu is going to form a full-time army, and at the beginning, Su Yu is going to select twenty people to form two squads. There are too many people, and if the tribe doesn't have to recruit workers, they won't be able to do much, and the absence of labor means that there are twenty laborers who have to be trained to become soldiers, which is long-term.

In the past, the purpose of training the hunting team was to select twenty people to form an army, they first trained and fought in actual combat, and then when the army expanded, they could become the backbone of the army and train new soldiers.

"That's it, let's form an army of two squads first."

A squad is ten people, three squads are thirty people for a platoon, three rows are ninety people for a company, a battalion is 300 people, ten platoons are a battalion, the regiment behind is ten battalions of 3,000 people, a division and four regiments are 12,000 people, as for the back, Su Yu didn't say it for the time being, because that is too far away, and there are only a few people in the tribe now, and when it comes to the division, Su Yu feels that it is a bit much.

Of course, these are all set by Su Yu himself, Su Yu has not studied the establishment system of the modern army, so he only knows these names and the approximate number of people.

Originally, he wanted to move the ancient army system, but when he thought of the commander, the captain, the centurion, the thousand-commander and the like, he simply moved the modern one.

A company of sword soldiers is called a knife company, and a battalion is called a knife battalion.

For example, the cavalry is just enough to form a cavalry company, holding a horse lance, equipped with a broadsword, and shooting eagles after the whole bow and arrow.

Speaking of bows and arrows, Su Yu remembered that there were just a lot of horns and horns in the greedy wolf camp, these were the bison tendons and horns they hunted in the grassland, and because they couldn't eat them, they threw them behind the camp and piled them together with those cow bones.

Isn't Bai Yue the talent of an ordnance expert? You can tell her the principles and steps of making bows and arrows, and let her try to make them.

Su Yu had watched the video of making bows and arrows, and he remembered all those steps, but he didn't have the materials at that time, otherwise he could have tried it himself.

Thinking of this, Su Yu asked Su Yun to bring back those horns and tendons.

"Su Xun, your reconnaissance team also needs training, you are directly joining the formation of the tribal army, there is no need to screen, the role of the reconnaissance team is very important, and their training cannot be neglected."

Su Yu told Su Xun that in addition to the infantry of those two squads, there was also a reconnaissance team to train.

Su Xun ran with Ji Ni for a month, and he had already learned how to draw maps, so he didn't follow Ji Ni and them everywhere anymore, because these days, he was also a little tired.

The clansmen who followed the caravan's convoy were also a little unbearable, and they ran outside every day for a month.

But they didn't complain, just rested for a few days and then went out with the caravan again.

Because now the development of the tribe is getting better and better, and they can see changes every time they come back, which makes them feel that the suffering is also worth it.

They can feel the changes, and the workers who have been recruited feel them even more obviously.

They felt the difference of the place, there were a lot of new things that they had never seen before.

Every day a lot of people from different tribes come together to discuss the changes here, and there are also a lot of new workers who join in.

"Is this really a place to eat and live?" A newcomer asked an old man who was pushing a small cart to transport stones.

"Of course, I've been here for almost a month. I brought my wife and children here, and they also lived with me, and our family was assigned a house. ”

This is an old man in his twenties, who has been working here for a long time. Looking at the city wall that is getting higher day by day, he is incredible, and he also has a sense of pride at the thought that he is also involved in the construction of this city wall.

Now that he is satisfied with the life of food and shelter, he thinks that if the wall can be built all the time, he can continue to do it.

There are many people who think this way, but sooner or later the city wall will be built, and they can't be deliberately lazy, because there will be overseers, and whoever deliberately is lazy and fishes will be fired and lose their jobs.

"I really want to stay, it's so much better to live here than before." The young man couldn't help but sigh.

The newcomer on the side felt a little exaggerated when he heard it, but he also believed that it was really a package of food and accommodation.

As for whether it's really that good, he doesn't know, so he can only try it first.

"You have to hurry up now, now that the city walls have been built a lot, the further back you come, the more you have no work to do, I don't know how long you can do such a good thing, don't regret it if it's too late." People have been coming every day for a month. The young man persuaded him, and then pushed the cart on his own and continued to work.

Such pictures can be seen everywhere here, the fame of the Linshui tribe has been hit, and tribes far away have begun to hear about this tribe.
