Chapter 169: Miscellaneous Army

"What kind of nonsense are those Han barbarians saying, Naigong really doesn't understand it at all. Let them go east, they will go north, let them prepare to eat, and some people will run to mix and be lost."

"I'm so angry."

In the military tent, the black buttocks complained with a mouthful of complaints.

Zhao Tuo also smiled bitterly, not to mention the black buttocks, his head is also swollen now, this position of military candidate is really not easy to do.

Wang Ben promoted Zhao Tuo to the position of military candidate, let him break away from Huan Zhao's subordinates, and lead a song of men and horses.

The Qin army's composition is generally 5,000 people.

Zhao Tuo originally had 500 people under his command, but later in order to pursue the Wei army, he temporarily led 500 Hanoi army to defeat the army, adding up to only 1,000 people, which was still a lot short of the rated number of Yiqu.

The number of people who are missing naturally has to be made up, but the actual process of replenishment has another way.

Of Wang Ben's 50,000 Huaiyang soldiers, 10,000 went to attack Suiyang, and there were 40,000 outside Daliang City. These elite divisions are all fully staffed, and they each have captains and military commanders, so naturally they can't give the excess to Zhao Tuo. Those who could supply Zhao Tuo were all miscellaneous troops recruited from all over the country.

First of all, the Hanoi army, which was defeated by Zhou Shi under the city of Jiyang, because its lord would be beheaded by the Wei army, these defeated soldiers scattered and fled to various cities, and now they just happened to be recruited and added to Zhao Tuo's command. Coupled with the 500 Hanoi troops under Zhao Tuo's original temporary command, the number of soldiers from Hanoi in this song reached 2,000.

In addition, there were conscripts from Yingchuan County, a total of 500 people. There are also a thousand soldiers who rushed over from Shangdang County, plus Zhao Tuo's original 500 Guanzhong army, which is enough for 4,000 people.

The four thousand soldiers with mixed ingredients are nothing, and what really gave Zhao Tuo and Black Buttocks and others a headache was the last 1,000 people, who turned out to be those "Hanzhong friends" who came all the way from the west with them.

Before Huan Zhao took 5,000 Guanzhong troops to the east to take Chen Liu, these 1,000 Hanzhong soldiers went north to follow those people to dig the embankment, and now their task is completed, and they have nothing to do outside Daliang City, and they just happened to be incorporated into Zhao Tuo's command.

5,000 soldiers from five counties.

Guanzhong, Shangdang, Hanoi, Yingchuan and Hanzhong.

It's a patchwork of miscellaneous cards.

In particular, the 1,000 soldiers from Hanzhong, many of whom were Qiang barbarians with loose hair and animal skins, and one mouth was mixed with a strong and smelly dialect, which was very difficult to communicate, and Zhao Tuo could only rely on those Hanzhong military officials who could understand Yi to give orders, which was very inconvenient.

"Such a mixed army, the robes are not acquainted, the language is not smooth, and the enemy can be defeated on the battlefield?"

Zhao Tuo even had doubts that Wang Ben was deliberately tidying himself up, so he cobbled together this messy team for himself. But just a little thought ruled out the idea.

Because Wang Ben has no reason and no need for this, he really wants to clean up Zhao Tuo, and there is no need to promote Zhao Tuo to the military candidate, and let him take on the task of taking the cities of Wei in the east.

"Taoqiu has been defeated by the Dongjun soldiers, and now General Wang has ordered the Dongjun soldiers to move west and capture Jiyang."

"In addition, Suiyang in the Great Song County of the Wei State has also been broken by the 10,000 Huaiyang army, and I heard that Wei Qi, the king of Ningling, has fled to the counties of Danfu and other counties further east, which is our goal to the east."

Xi Qigu walked into the tent and said the news of the war that he had inquired about.

When the black buttocks heard this, their eyes lit up, and they exclaimed, "This is great, if we don't say that we will be able to catch that Ning Lingjun this time, just like that Wei Leopard, catch it and change it for military merits, quack!"

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Zhao Tuo's heart moved, and he roughly guessed something.

Although the war in Wei has not ended, the overall situation has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before the girder of Weidu collapses in the flood. In addition to Daliang, several large cities of Wei, Suiyang and Taoqiu have been captured. Although Jiyang survived the attack of the Hanoi army, with the annihilation of the Zhou army, there was no foreign aid, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

In the huge Wei State, the Wei flag is still planted in the east of several distant cities such as Suxian, Shanfu, Fanghe, etc., and the main force of the Wei army was annihilated by the Qin army in several major battles, and the Wei people no longer have much resistance power.

"So, Wang Ben is taking this matter as a test for me, and let me start with the management of the army, and then use those Wei cities in the east to practice?"

Zhao Tuo thought about it, this explanation is more reasonable, although his subordinates are a patchwork army, but the rest of the eastern Wei State is also some three melons and two dates, and the strength of the two sides is comparable in comparison.

Thinking about this, Zhao Tuo put his mind at ease and decided to train the troops well, successfully complete this mission, and not let the generals in the camp look down on him.

Because the task was not urgent, Wang Ben gave Zhao Tuo half a month's time to march and form the army, so that he had time to train this army. Otherwise, a group of mixed and miscellaneous armies will go into battle without running-in, and I am afraid that they will be defeated by someone in one face.

The Art of War: Know your opponent and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Zhao Tuo's first step in governing the army was naturally to first understand the soldiers under his command and the soldiers under him, and then form a formation.

Needless to say, the 500 Guan Zhongjun under Zhao Tuo's command is the real elite in his hands, and it is also the most trustworthy old subordinate.

At this level, you can already have five hundred short guards.

After that, there were two thousand Hanoi troops, divided into two thousand people, and the two or five hundred lords were Shiruma and Black Buttocks, who had become public doctors. It just so happened that the formation of the Hanoi army was dispersed, and they were defeated in Jiyang before, and they lost their sharpness, so they allowed Zhao Tuo to install cronies, and no one dared to complain.

After the Hanoi army, there were 1,000 soldiers from Shangdang County, and 2,500 of them were named Zhao Guang, a man in his thirties, who was silent.

This person is said to be the prince of Zhao Guo, counting from his ancestors upwards, and he can climb the relationship with Zhao Tuo. I don't know if it's because of the same Zhao family, this person is meticulous in completing Zhao Tuo's military orders.

The next 500 Yingchuan soldiers were led by a 500 lord named Zhang He.

Because Xi Qigu led 500 people into the short army, Zhao Tuo also divided these 500 Yingchuan people alone, and did not set up 2500 lords to lead, and planned to let these 500 people be responsible for escort logistics in the future.

After the distribution of 4,000 people, it was the 1,000 Han sergeants who gave Zhao Tuo the most headache.

Among the 1,000 Hanzhong people, only half can communicate normally, and the rest are Qiang barbarians.

Their two or five hundred lords were named Qiang Dagger, a tall Qiang man with shiny hair, bilingual, and yellow muscles exposed outside his clothes, and at first glance he was a brave and strong warrior.

When this person saw Zhao Tuo for the first time, he actually laughed out loud.

"Hey, it's a little cub."

Qiang Dagger deliberately spoke in a dialect that everyone couldn't understand, and he also reached out and compared Zhao Tuo's head and his own chest.

"The shaft is looking for death!"

The black buttocks were furious, and Shima's eyes were cold.

If it hadn't been for Xi Qi to stop him, the two of them would have almost drawn their swords and started their hands.

Zhao Tuo, who was the party concerned, was not angry, and sent the Qiang dagger away.

He said to Shiruma and Black Buttocks, "The Qiang dagger has a lot of prestige among those barbarians, and if you do something to him because of this, I am afraid that those Qiang people will disobey and damage the morale of the army."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "And this Qiang dagger, it is said that he is still the same clan as the Qiang general, no wonder he can be the position of two or five hundred lords."
