Chapter 277 The Talk of the Big Tent, a Mysterious Weapon!
In the surging cloud wind and no clothes, Zhao Jun awarded the six new armies with numbers and flags in turn.
From the upper four armies, that is, the four armies of Yunlu, Yunyao, Yunting and Yunxiang, which are mostly composed of old-school escort armies.
To the next two armies, which were mostly composed of new soldiers, that is, the new armies with veterans as commanders at all levels of the middle force, Yunjiang and General Yunhe, were awarded the number and banner by Zhao Jun in full view.
Since then, the escort army, which originally ate a big pot of rice, has finally embarked on the road of regularization and independent militarization, and has the appearance of a real regular army.
And now, the main generals of the four armies are, Li Erniu of the Yunlu Army, Lu Guangtian of the Yunyao Army, Feng Bin of the Yunting Army and Wu Jian of the Yunxiang Army.
Next is the Yunjiang Army Tang Liang and the Yunhe Army Chang Wan of the next two armies!
These six people are now the six highest-ranking generals under Zhao Jun's command, except for the first-level Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning.
Each of them commands 50,000 people, even if it is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, it is the level of a second- or third-grade general!
And many of them have risen step by step from the army in the past two years by virtue of their military exploits, and the combat effectiveness of these armies is compared to the Song army in Guannei, even with the same weapons, the Song army is inevitably not the opponent of the Yunzhou army.
This is determined by the spirit of the army, since the establishment of the Yunzhou Army, until now, although it is said that there have been small defeats in the middle of the road, but it has never lost in large-scale battles.
This made the Yunzhou army establish the belief that they would win in the wars again and again, and their morale was extremely high!
Naturally, the combat effectiveness is not low.
And those armies in the Great Song Dynasty have long lost their hearts in the aggrieved defense of the city and the shrinkage, except for a few troops, most of the troops did not even dare to fight with the Huns in the field.
can only shrink in the city as a shrinking turtle, and many times even the shrinking turtle is not as good, often by the Xiongnu nomadic people to break through the city.
Although there are reasons including traitors, even traitors can't defend themselves, so isn't this a sign of the incompetence of the city lord?
The experience between the two armies was completely polarized, and in this case, the Song army had long lost the strength of the original first-class army's combat effectiveness, and was reduced to a second- or third-rate, bullying and bullying rebels and chaotic people, and even mountain bandits and road tyrants!
Oh! Wrong!
With the support of the local gentry, those mountain bandits are much better equipped than the army, coupled with the advantage that the cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the number is not superior, even the Great Song army is not their opponent.
Such an army is really weak!
The Yunzhou Army is different, although it has been fighting with poisonous people recently, which is quite a bit of an adult bullying a child, but it has always been in the midst of a war, and those backbones in the army were all ruthless characters who had fought with the Tartars head-on.
Even if the combat effectiveness of the army expanded with them as the backbone has decreased, the superiority in weapons and the combat effectiveness in the past two years of operations have not decreased but increased.
In any case, it is much stronger than the bird army of the Great Song Dynasty!
After the ceremony of awarding the army number and flag, the Yunzhou army began to disperse, and now the armies are finally clearly divided, and there are still a lot of changes to be made in the army, and there is not so much time to take here.
When the army dispersed in their respective generals, Zhao Jun and his entourage took Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning to the middle and high-level of the army and walked towards the Chinese army tent in the Nanyun school field.
Walking on the way to the big tent, Zhao Jun asked about the current situation of the Yunzhou army as he advanced.
"Lao Ding, how is the situation of the various armies now?
Are the soldiers still used to the sudden restructuring? ”
Ding Hongguang said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to worry, it is said that it is a restructuring, but in fact, it is just a six-part army, and the establishment of the army is still the same as before, and there is not much change."
Even because of the restructuring, many combat exploits are enough, but because there is no vacancy and you have to continue to be an ordinary soldier, you can be successfully promoted.
Although everyone is temporarily uncomfortable with the restructuring, they are quite satisfied with the restructuring of the armed forces. ”
Zhao Jun nodded: "That's good, now that the war is coming, if the combat effectiveness declines because of the army restructuring, then it is not the king's." ”
After hearing the army's views on his restructuring, Zhao Jun asked about equipment again.
"By the way, there is also the equipment in the army, in the past few days, the equipment damaged in the army and the equipment that should be replaced, as well as the missing horses on the cavalry side and the full set of equipment for the recruits, have all been allocated by the Armaments Logistics Division?
But there is still a shortfall?
If you don't have to shy away from it, just say it, and this king can help you urge, time is running out, and it's a good thing to have more time to familiarize yourself with and train. ”
To this, Ding Hongguang replied:
"The prince doesn't have to worry about this, with the industrial capacity of our Yunzhou County, it is only more than 100,000 sets of equipment, not to mention three to four months, that is, two months, as long as the raw materials are enough, it is enough to prepare it.
The only difficulty is the war horse, but with the use of spirits and tea bricks by Lord Fan of the Grain Reserve Division to trade with those small and medium-sized Tatar tribes outside the Guan, the war horse has been delivered to the army every day, and it has been delivered to eight or nine out of ten now, and it will be all delivered in about two days.
And according to Lord Fan's meaning, because there are enough things prepared, although the Liaoyun Pass has been closed now, and the materials cannot come out, the extra materials are enough to exchange for thousands of spare war horses and hundreds of horses for the army to consign supplies. ”
Zhao Jun understood after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Director Fan still has the ability, when he agreed to this matter, I thought that he would come to us for help with many things, but I didn't expect that in addition to purchasing materials in Guannei, the rest of them went to discuss with the Tatar Khans in Yunzhou County one by one to let them go out to help trade with the Tatars outside Guanwai."
or a series of miscellaneous things that followed, he solved them all by himself.
The ability to work can be said to be the number one even in the entire Yunzhou County. ”
"Hehe, that's also the opportunity you gave him to show it, otherwise if he doesn't have a chance, even if he has the ability, what can he do.
As the so-called Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have it.
With your appreciation, Lord Fan will naturally do his best. ”
Zhao Jun smiled:
"That's the result of his own efforts.
Everyone has opportunities, but whether they can seize them or not depends on themselves. ”
While talking, the group finally came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The conversation between the two stopped.
Immediately they were drawn into the tent.
There is no change in this Chinese army tent, the entire Nanyun school field has expanded, but this Chinese army tent is still exactly the same as before, what has changed.
When they entered the tent, everyone sat down in turn according to their status, and Zhao Jun naturally sat on the top seat.
Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning sat on both sides.
When everyone sat down, Zhao Jundang said: "
Now that the armies have been divided, and the time is now in early September, according to the news received by the king, the large forces of the Tartars have begun to converge in the southern steppes.
Our brothers who had been sent to trade in the southern steppes are also gradually retreating these days.
But from the information that was discovered before they retreated, we knew that the number of Tartars gathered in the southern steppes this time was at least 300,000.
They have brought over most of the military strength that the entire Tartar is currently capable of, which shows that the Tartars are bound to win our Yunzhou County and the Liaodong Pass behind.
This time, it is bound to be a fierce battle!
Although the number of our Yunzhou County has reached 300,000, which is not much different from the Tartars, first of all, we are not all cavalry, but all the Tartars are, and we are inferior to the Tartars in terms of mobility.
Our only advantage is positional warfare, we have to take the Tartars by surprise at the very beginning when they are not so defensive against us, and inflict great damage on them, only then can we reduce the pressure and losses as much as possible in the subsequent battles.
Otherwise, if I miss the opportunity, with the excitement of the Tartars and the vastness of the steppe, even if I break my leg, I will not be able to catch them, and then I will inevitably be led by the enemy. ”
"General Ding!"
Zhao Jun called.
"The last general!"
Sitting on the lower left, Ding Hongguang immediately got up and answered!
"With the current weapons and equipment of our Yunzhou County, can we achieve a large number of blows to the local living forces in the first battle between the army and the Tatar army, so that the other party will not be able to lead us by the nose in the follow-up battle?"
Ding Hongguang thought about it for a while, and even said categorically: "Lord Wang! Judging by the current number and equipment of our Yunzhou army, we were able to inflict a large number of casualties on the Tatars who did not know our army in the first attack.
But the number of Tatars was too large, and the so-called large number of casualties was not too large in such a proportion.
It is not feasible to limit the mobility of the large Tatar forces.
But we have a weapon in Yunzhou County! The last general begged the prince to order the production of as many such things as possible before the great war.
If it has a sharp weapon, then with our army in the upper hand and preparing in advance, the final general will be sure to contain the enemy forces within a certain range.
And once the enemy army falls into our ambush, they have no possibility of escape! ”
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up slightly: "Oh! What kind of weapon is it that has such an effect? ”
Ding Hongguang slowly spit out three words: "Barbed wire!" ”
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately laughed.
Yes! Yes! They also have barbed wire!
This kind of thing was a big killer against cavalry in the previous life!
In the case of machine guns, these barbed wires were the line of death for the cavalry.
Although there were no machine guns, barbed wire could greatly limit the mobility of the cavalry.
If the ambush is laid in advance, wait for the enemy to enter the encirclement, and pull up the ambushed barbed wire fence.
Then the enemy cavalry in the circle is the turtle in the urn, not to mention killing them, it is easy to capture them alive!
I actually forgot!
Yunzhou County has long had the capacity to produce barbed wire.
It had already been used for the first time against the Tatars, but at that time, due to the production and the number of guards, it was only used for defense.
But with the current number of people in Yunzhou County, and with the output of Yunzhou County, it can be used as a weapon to limit the enemy's cavalry!
"Good! After that, the king will immediately order that as much barbed wire as possible be produced and delivered to the army before the war comes.
But this king has said well, and this king will treat you as if you are making a military order.
If you can't give this king a due result when the king gives you enough equipment, then the king will ask you, the governor, to be guilty! ”
Ding Hongguang smiled indifferently, and said confidently with respectful fists: "Don't worry, prince!" The barbed wire is in place, and the last general will definitely fight a beautiful battle for you! ”
"Is that true?"
"Seriously!"
……
Today is a million days!
