When Zhang Yan heard this, he nodded heartily and said: "What Mr. Guo Jia said is extremely true, although the commanders of these parties are very capable people, but when they get to the battlefield, they can only listen to the drumbeat to advance and retreat, and I can't communicate with them at all, so the battle is very chaotic!" I don't know what to do, if Mr. Guo Jia has any good ideas, you might as well mention me quickly? ”
Chen Yan also thought deeply, since he started from scratch, the operation of the army has always been managed by Xu Rong, and he really doesn't know much about the establishment of the army, and later Jia Xu joined, and he was fully responsible. Although Chen Yan could always see that Jia Xu's marching formation was simply superb, he didn't understand the reason.
Guo Jia said: "What our army uses today is the system of Shiwu that has been handed down since ancient times, that is, five people are a team, with a team commander, and ten people are composed of two soldiers, and the chief is elected, and so on, no matter how many people there are, there will be centurions and thousands." In the ranks, the captain is led by the chief, and the captain is led by the centurion, and the guidance is at all levels to ensure that the battle is not chaotic. ”
Chen Yan and Zhang Yan both suddenly realized when they heard it, it turned out that there was such a deep door in this army, no wonder the army led by Xu Rong and Jia Xu made people's eyes light up at a glance.
While digesting what Guo Jia said, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that there was a relevant record in the "Sima Law" he had just read!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly said: "Fengxiao, I remember that it is recorded in the "Sima Law" that in infantry combat, five people form a team, in which these people use bows, spears, spears, ge, halberds, short weapons in front, and long weapons in the back, refining the entire army into a five-person battle formation, and then it is also a commander of five people, and the five teams form a large team called two, and the big team elects a big commander, and so on, in this way, isn't it more effective?" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, his face lit up and said, "Indeed! This should be the rumored five-five system, with five as a unit, gradually expanding, it is indeed a good idea, my lord, this "Sima Law" is really not in vain! ”
After Chen Yan was praised by Guo Jia, he was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "It seems that Jia Xu is so ruthless in using soldiers, and he has been inspired by this Sima method, but the people in this army have to use five kinds of weapons: bow, gun, spear, ge, and halberd, so is there a must?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "In fact, these five weapons don't have to be used at the same time, when Sima Sui was prosperous, the battlefield was still dominated by chariots, so there will be these things, and now we are short-handed, many weapons in the past are actually not very practical, so there is no need to draw a gourd in the same way." ”
Chen Yan nodded, but said in his heart: "It turns out that in ancient infantry combat, it was not that there was only one type of army in the army...... Alas, poor my military experience is generally from the game of Three Kingdoms 11, I thought that people fought wars in ancient times, and there was only one branch of an army, what spearmen, halberds, archers or something, alas, the game is harmful! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Guo Jia, then what kind of weapons should each of us soldiers be assigned to each of us?" ”
Guo Jia lowered his head and thought: "Infantry confrontation, bows and arrows are actually not needed, after all, the role of bows and arrows is not too great when the two armies intersect, our archers have always been a pair of their own, if they are forcibly scattered and inserted into the ranks, it is not good to deploy them uniformly." ”
Chen Yan nodded again and again in agreement.
Guo Jia continued: "Naturally, there must be no shortage of sword and shield soldiers, and there must be at least two of them among the people, standing in front and responsible for defense. The rest of the back row must have at least two spearmen, who are good at armor piercing and also take on the main attack mission. ”
Chen Yan then nodded his head as if pounding garlic.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "As for this last weapon......
Zhang Yan suddenly interjected and said, "Sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, I'm afraid that if they encounter cavalry, they still have no chance of winning?" Although archers are more suitable for unified deployment, they have a longer range after all. By the way, when I fought with Yuan Shao, I once saw a troop equipped with a strong crossbow, which was very fierce! ”
"Crossbow?" Guo Jia and Chen Yan reacted at the same time, the powerful weapon of the crossbow was very effective against the cavalry, and Zhang Yan's words really woke up the dreamer. It's just that the manufacturing process of the crossbow is a bit complicated, and the materials required are also very precious, so only a local tyrant like Yuan Shao, who has a strong family business, can take out a whole army of strong crossbows!
Chen Yan hurriedly asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, in Guanzhong, are there any craftsmen who are good at making crossbows?" ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Guanzhong is the capital of the country, gathering talents from all over the world, if you can't even find a craftsman who makes crossbows, how can you be worthy of the name of the national capital?" ”
Chen Yan nodded, very satisfied, but then said in surprise: "Since the crossbow is such a powerful weapon, why haven't I seen anyone use it before?" ”
Guo Jia said: "First, this thing is indeed expensive, and the cost of building a crossbow is enough to make three or four bows; Second, this thing is relatively bulky and not convenient to carry; As for the third, it was particularly effective in restraining cavalry, so Yuan Shao, who was in the north and fought against Gongsun Zhan, who was good at making cavalry, loved it very much. ”
Chen Yan listened for a moment and knew that the crossbow was really a big killer, although Guo Jia listed the three major drawbacks, it still couldn't hinder Chen Yan's determination to build a crossbow. The big yellow crossbow of the Han Dynasty was particularly famous, and Chen Yan had admired it for a long time, when he ordered his subordinates to go to Guanzhong to visit the crossbow masters and strive for mass production.
Guo Jia knew that with a strong crossbow in the battle formation of five people, the power would definitely increase greatly, and he was also satisfied, but among the five people, there would be a crossbow, Zhang Yan's army of 300,000 would be matched with 60,000 crossbows, which was really not a small number, thinking of this, Guo Jia reminded Chen Yan and said: "Lord, these 300,000 people, I'm afraid everyone can't be equipped with a crossbow." ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Let's do what we can, and the rest should be in the way with spears or swords and shields." ”
The plan was certain, Chen Yan and Guo Jia and Zhang Yan went to see the 300,000 army, but he didn't expect that just after walking a few steps, Chen Yan saw several old men with gray hair and rickety bodies.
Chen Yan frowned, continued to walk forward, and took a few more steps, only to see that one of the soldiers was thin, his arms were as thin as bamboo poles, and his neck was flat and there was no Adam's apple, since he was a female soldier?!
"Mulan?" Chen Yan blurted out, "What's the matter?" Aren't you a girl? Why did you join the army, could it be that you are Mulan? ”
When the yellow turban female soldier heard Chen Yan's question, she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Who is Hua Mulan that the Heavenly Master is talking about?" The little one doesn't know, the little one is called Wednesday Niang...... I was the only one in the family, and everyone in the village rebelled and joined the army, and the little one was afraid that one person would starve to death, so he ...... Then he followed the army...... "One."
