When everyone was happily cleaning up the battlefield, Hua Feng, who had fully absorbed the lesson, immediately sent two more groups of scouts on the basis that the other three scouts had not withdrawn, and distributed them on the enemy's path.

The distance remains the same, one batch is fifty miles away, and one batch is thirty miles away.

As for the closer distance, for Hua Feng, there is no need.

......

This move made the battlefield veteran Luo Zhanjun and Duo Si nod secretly and admire.

In addition to the big victory, it is rare for a coach to be so sober-minded!

Besides, he is still so young, he should not be in the age of establishment, right?

At such a growth rate, what will happen in ten years?

Twenty years from now?

Is there room for imagination?

Do you still have the guts to imagine?

Evil spirits!

......

It wasn't until the battlefield was cleaned up that the nearly 4,000 men and horses led by Lei Chongxiao were late.

It's not that they deliberately delayed, but that the war ended too quickly!

Such a battle situation made Lei Chongxiao and others all admired.

......

There is a saying that the predecessors summed up quite brilliantly - plundering is the best way to accumulate wealth!

This remark has been interpreted very comprehensively in the Northern Expedition Righteous Army.

The Northern Expeditionary Army successively "plundered" from the enemy, and there were four main categories.

The first category, artillery.

From none to two.

Although the number is too small, the effect is not too large. But it is perfect for use as a trumpet.

Today's two cannon shots are the first time in their lives that the vast majority of the Northern Expeditionary rebels have heard the sound of artillery on the battlefield. Moreover, it was sent by their own team.

Therefore, including Hua Feng, at the moment when the horn sounded, he felt that his blood was suddenly boiling, and his fighting spirit was invisibly a little stronger.

At the same time, it was clearly visible that at the moment when the cannon sounded, the enemy troops suddenly panicked a lot.

......

The second category, war horses.

When the Northern Expeditionary Army was formed, there were no war horses. Today, it doesn't cost a penny, and there are more than 1,300 horses.

In this battle alone, 500 horses were harvested.

This harvest is not insignificant.

Throughout the ages, the role of war horses has been extremely important.

It boils down to three main aspects.

First, go into battle and kill the enemy.

An army without cavalry, no matter how many soldiers there are, cannot be called strong in combat.

Because, if there is no cavalry, it is likely that at the critical moment, "the top cannot be lifted and the retreat cannot be withdrawn".

This can be seen from this operation. If it weren't for the help of the three cavalry, Duan Jinchao would probably have suffered heavy casualties.

Second, to investigate the military situation.

If there are no war horses, the scouts can only run on two legs, which is not only extremely difficult to find out the military situation, but also the information obtained cannot be reported to the commander or the commander in chief in time, and it is likely to lose its effectiveness.

It is even possible that the two armies have already met each other in close quarters, and the scouts are still on their way back.

What is the use of such lagging intelligence?

Third, carry the baggage.

Even if there is no artillery, as a unit, there are still a lot of military supplies.

For example, bows and arrows, dry rations, shovels, shovels, long ropes, axes, etc., if there are no war horses to carry them, only by manpower to carry them, not only laborious, but also extremely slow march.

In this way, it will not only occupy manpower, but also delay fighters.

......

The third category, bows and arrows.

In this battle alone, as many as 100,000 arrows were harvested, and tens of thousands of hard bows were also harvested.

And so far in the battle, because they are all short-handed, the Northern Expedition Righteous Army has not fired a single arrow. As a result, nearly 300,000 arrows have been accumulated.

So many bows and arrows are enough to fight a frontal battle.

And when ambushing in the deep ravines and ravines, it is extremely effective to shoot them with bows and arrows, or to hit them with rolling stones, or to burn them with fire.

Of course, bows and arrows are most used to defend and siege cities.

It's just that the Northern Expeditionary Army now has neither a city to defend nor a city to attack.

In any case, there is always nothing wrong with collecting and carrying, because there must be a time when it will be of great use.

The so-called "preparedness" is also.

......

The fourth category is dry food.

"The people live on food. ”

If you want to talk about the most important military supplies, it is food.

For the field army that has been marching and fighting for many years, dry food is a must-have, and it is also the most important food.

Because it is not only easy to carry, easy to eat, and very little time-consuming, but also will not be exposed by cooking smoke.

Hot food, while delicious, is not available to field armies.

The biggest gain of this ambush was the dry food that the Northern Expedition rebels lacked the most. The amount is large, enough for Huafeng's more than 10,000 troops to eat for half a month.

......

Taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate, Hua Feng decided to reorganize the troops again.

He had already considered it maturely, and the main purpose of this reorganization was to form three ace troops in accordance with the existing conditions.

First, the bow and arrow battalion.

From the "Invincible Vanguard Army", 1,000 soldiers with relatively outstanding bow skills were extracted to form an archery battalion, with Xiao Yun as the main general.

The Bow and Arrow Battalion is under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese army, and acts with the Chinese army in peacetime, and then assigns tasks according to the situation in wartime.

Second, the cavalry battalion.

400 troops were drawn from the "Invincible Vanguard Army" and the cavalry battalion was expanded from the current 800 to 1,200 men. It is divided into three teams, each with 400 people, and Ren Yong, Jiang Nannan, and Meng Qingqing are still the team leaders.

The subordinate relationship is the same as that of the bow battalion, which is under the direct jurisdiction and command of the Chinese army.

Third, the "invincible vanguard army".

After two draws, plus the 500 people lost in this battle, the "Invincible Vanguard Army" was sharply reduced from 4,900 to 3,000 people, and Duan Jinchao still served as the vanguard officer.

The subordinate relationship is the same as that of the bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion, and is under the direct jurisdiction and command of the Chinese army.

......

It is said that it is formed, but in fact, only the bow battalion is a "new thing", and the cavalry battalion and the "invincible vanguard army" are only adaptations.

These three troops, after their skills are mature, they cooperate tacitly, and they form combat effectiveness, they will become the trump card troops in the hands of Commander Hua Feng.

Not only does its combat effectiveness far surpass that of ordinary troops, but it is also more flexible and mobile because of its small number.

After this adaptation, Ren Yong's title of "Urgent Pioneer" has existed in name only, at least for a short time.

Because, now he is not even an ordinary member of the vanguard army, where does the name of "urgent vanguard" come from?

......

The rest of the armies remained the same.

The left and right armies are still each commanding 2,000 men.

The Chinese army is still 1,500 people.

The rear army was still three hundred, but the number of horses was increased by one hundred.

After careful calculation, the Northern Expeditionary Army currently has a total strength of 11,000 people, more than 1,300 horses, and two artillery pieces.

These are its main belongings.

As a field unit fighting independently, it is too shabby!

However, compared with when Hua Feng joined the army and was trained, in addition to the number of troops being reduced by several times, his combat effectiveness has increased a lot.

......

Hua Feng, who was confident, then organized many generals and held a post-war work conference.

Regardless of the state of the war, a post-war work conference must be held.

It's just that the length of time and the amount of content can be controlled by the commander at random.
