Chapter 657: Strong Soldiers and Strong Horses (3)

After the formation of the Fifth Army was completed, time had passed for as many as three days.

In order to strictly enforce military discipline and improve the execution of the army, Hua Feng ordered Wan Yunlong, Meng Qi, and Duo Si to immediately begin training the army in accordance with the requirements of the regular army.

There is no need to distinguish between sources and branches of the military, and the training should be centralized and unified.

After that, the military meeting continued without resting.

......

Next, the "three groups" were formed.

The "three groups" are the decision-making group, the intelligence group, and the assault group.

The decision-making group, consisting of four people.

They are Commander Hua Feng, Deputy Commander Zhu Hongzhu, plus two think tanks Chen Jinnan and Duo Si.

Main tasks: Analyze and judge the military situation, assess the situation of the two armies, formulate strategies and tactics, and dispatch and assign troops.

......

BFIPU, consisting of three people.

The team leader Wan Yunlong, and the team members Wind Willow and Wang Zhongwang.

The main task is to collect the movements of the Qing army except for Li Chengdong. Especially Central China, North China, and South China, the three Qing armies close to East China.

However, if there is any trouble, it will be reported to the decision-making group immediately.

......

Assault group, 3,000 troops.

The main general Zhao Shuhai, and the deputy general Chen Shuyang, the head of "Chen's Taiji".

Equipped with ten generals, namely:

Gou Buyan, Shi Wuyuan, Chen Shuyang's eight disciples of "heroes and heroes, invincible in the world". Namely, Yuan Yiying, Xie Yixiong, Xu Yihao, Guo Yijie, Cai Yitian, Yu Yixia, Du Yiwu, and Shen Yidi.

As for the 3,000 troops, all of them came from East China.

Its task is mainly to fight tough battles and gnaw hard bones. When the two armies were at a stalemate, the thunderbolt attacked to achieve the goal of "breaking the ice".

......

The construction of the "three groups" was extremely rapid.

After all, there are not many troops involved, and there are only more than 3,000 people in total.

However, there was a little hiccup in the middle.

That is, at the beginning of the discussion, Zhao Shuhai, who was warlike by nature and proud, was extremely unhappy that he only commanded 3,000 men.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Hua Feng's proposal, thinking that he had come thousands of miles away with the dignity of the "Seven Sons of Wudang", but he was reused.

......

It wasn't until Hua Feng personally explained the mission and tasks of the "assault group" in detail that Zhao Shuhai understood the great significance of establishing the "assault group", and naturally accepted it gladly.

Fight a tough battle?

I can do whatever I want!

Gnawing hard bones?

I can do what I want!

If it is for the sake of enjoyment, why does Zhao need to travel thousands of miles to come here?

If it is just to be respected and gain fame, it is even more disdainful to use the reputation of "Wudang Seven Sons".

......

The reason why Zhao Shuhai took the initiative to invite Ying to come was precisely because he was uncomfortable and was ready to use the stage of the Anti-Qing Righteous Army to show his skills to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Because, as one of the pillar forces of the Ming Dynasty, the Wudang faction, like the Shaolin faction, was extremely suppressed by the Qing court.

Not to mention the siege of the army, at least it is also three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. Its surveillance is more rigorous than that of the beggars.

Make it clear, as long as you dare to make a move, you will definitely send heavy troops to level Wudang!

How can this make the war-loving and bold Zhao Shuhai endure it?

If it weren't for Senior Brother Wenshan to stop him, if he hadn't worried about the Qing army's bombardment of Wudang, he would have entered the Qing camp single-handedly, and he would not give up if he didn't stir him upside down!

Now, with the opportunity to beat the Qing army, how can Zhao Shuhai be polite?

......

After the construction of the "three groups" was agreed, the formation of the "two battalions" was much faster.

For the cavalry battalion, Hua Feng suggested that the formation of the Northern Expedition should still be followed.

It was still divided into three teams, numbered from the first cavalry to the third cavalry. The captain is still Ren Yong, Jiang Nannan, and Meng Qingqing.

Because during their tenure as cavalry captains in the Northern Expeditionary Army, their performance was not bad, and they were already a little experienced.

A thousand cavalry per team.

With Hua Feng's 2,700 "believers" as the main body, the remaining 300 people were selected from the East China martial arts world to supplement them.

The main usage of the cavalry battalion is much the same as that of the regular army. It is nothing more than completing tasks such as outflanking, raiding, sprinting, and pursuing.

......

The bow battalion has changed a lot.

Two teams A and B are formed, with 1,000 people in each team.

Jiang Mingming and Xiao Yun are the captains respectively.

Because Jiang Ming's archery skills are excellent and competent, and Xiao Yun served as the commander of the archery battalion during the Northern Expedition, which can be described as a familiar way.

2,000 troops, each from three places: 800 people from the East China Martial Arts Circle, 600 people each from the Northern Expedition Righteous Army and the South China Dart Bureau.

As far as the Qing rebel army is concerned, the main tasks of the archery battalion are nothing more than two points: one is to shoot at the position to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, and the other is to occupy the commanding heights and carry out ambush and covert attacks.

......

In the end, it is the "swarm", that is, the mobile group, that is formed.

Troops, a thousand troops.

Half of them are infantry and half cavalry.

The main general is the head of the Xiao family, and the deputy general is the head of the Ma family.

Equipped with generals, the Central Plains martial arts accompanied the strong men of the gangs.

Soldiers, the 1,000 men and horses of the Central Plains Martial Arts who came to support this time.

The tasks of the mobile group, as previously stated, are not fixed.

In addition to normal participation in the war, it is possible to carry out intelligence gathering, strengthen logistics, and may also act as a messenger.

If necessary, it can even be used as a suspect.

This is also the intention of equipping 500 cavalry.

......

As for the suspicious group, there is no need to establish it at all.

In order to deal with Li Chengdong and the noble commander of the Qing army, the suspicious team temporarily formed by Xiao Yun was completely useless in the end.

Now that a head-to-head duel is about to begin, it is mainly used to ambush the suspicious soldiers who are sending reinforcements, and of course it is useless.

......

"Three groups, two battalions and one group" is different from the left and right rear armies, which can take charge on their own, and they are all under the direct command of the Chinese army in wartime.

In normal times, they practice and manage independently.

After several days of discussions, the general framework of "three groups, two battalions and one group of the five armies" has been established.

As for the follow-up deployment of troops, Hua Feng did not organize it personally, but handed it over to Chen Jinnan to be responsible.

......

He called Su Gaofei and prepared to follow the practice of the South China Dart Bureau, and set up a "Gathering Spirit Array" in the training ground and the open-air conference hall.

The training ground is a large "spirit gathering array", which can benefit at least 30,000 people at the same time.

The open-air meeting hall is a small "Spirit Gathering Array", which can meet the needs of fifty people to practice at the same time.

Although there is not much money to bring all kinds of materials this time, there are not a few, but the two "Spirit Gathering Arrays" do not need to be too exquisite, as long as they can operate normally.

The operation time can last for three or two months.

Because, Hua Feng decided to completely annihilate Li Chengdong's army within three months!

......

After all, 50,000 troops and 10,000 war horses don't seem to be much, but for the anti-Qing rebels who have no strong backing, just solving the problem of food and clothing is an extremely headache.

Although there is not much money and a lot of silver tickets, although the rudder of the beggar gang in East China is often funded, and although the East China martial arts fully support, it is not enough to support it for too long.
