Chapter XXI
Limbo Marker Military Meeting.
"Entering the city, sudden emergencies, lack of cooperation among the patrols, poor military orders, and fighting for each other. ”
The commander of the standard sat gently in the handsome position, pointed out the weaknesses at the beginning, and the officers nodded one after another, and entered the city to let the onlookers divide and surround the army and civilians, and put them on the battlefield The consequences are unimaginable.
"The tactical group suggested that another patrol cavalry be formed, and the war horses should be selected from other patrols, giving full play to the advantages of fast cavalry speed and strong adaptability, and the two patrol cavalry should protect the flanks when the battle is imminent, and the pro-guard team will have the strongest combat effectiveness, acting as the vanguard of the standard team, and assaulting in a conical formation. ”
The two sides faced each other, with a cavalry cone formation rapid assault, disrupting the enemy's formation and pressing the whole army, the fastest and most effective winning tactics in field warfare, the usual method of the sunset iron cavalry, the imperial army suffered a lot of losses in the battle, but there were not enough horses and riders, and they couldn't do it, so they could only rely on the heavy infantry to maintain the formation, and in the end, no matter whether they won or lost, the heavy infantry would suffer heavy casualties.
There was no shortage of horses in the Limbo Standard, everyone could ride horses, and the well-trained riders were enough to form two rounds of cavalry, and the plan of the tactical group was practical, and the officers present nodded excitedly, and no one raised objections.
"It is said that the establishment of the patrol level should not be discussed by us, the configuration of the standard team is a plan formulated by the standard battalion in advance, and the county lord accidentally brought five hundred war horses, as well as the guard's armor and staff, so the tactical team only had this proposal. It is the authority of commanding officers at all levels to act on the battlefield, and it is also in line with the practice of the military that we agree on a plan based on the actual combat situation and then submit it to the standard battalion for approval. ”
"Coach Qiu is invited to explain the detailed plan. ”
Coach Qiu's eyes swept over the officers present, stayed on Qin Rufeng's face for a while, and nodded at him with a smile, forming a new cavalry patrol, it is inevitable to draw the backbone of the cavalry, if Qin Rufeng resolutely opposes, it will not go well at the beginning, it is Coach Qiu who made an exception to greet him first.
"The standard team students are all equipped with war horses, but the new second patrol and the two patrols drawn from the children's camp have not undergone strict training, and they can ride on horseback, and they are too far away to kill the enemy. ”
Coach Qiu first explained the necessity of reasonable reorganization, and then read out the reorganization plan.
"The new second patrol is mainly reorganized from the archery patrol, and the light and heavy infantry patrol is mainly formed with the child camp students, and the captain is selected from the sixth-grade students, they all have actual combat experience, and the wartime leadership can effectively reduce the panic of the recruits, and they can supervise the training in peacetime, and combine peacetime and wartime, which is conducive to helping the recruits grow up as soon as possible. ”
Hua Yue blinked, looked at Biao Chang Wen softly, and the two of them looked away as soon as they met, neither of them spoke, everything was silent.
According to the recommendations of the tactical group, the reorganized three patrol archers, out of the experienced sixth grade and the new patrol soldiers, combat effectiveness compared with the previous decline a lot, the captain said that it is a new selection, but the standard commander has the right to directly appoint, the three patrol commanders will inevitably weaken the control of the team, and the authority of the standard commander will be further strengthened.
The plan was put forward by the tactical group, the hard work of the five instructors, and the opposition was undoubtedly against the instructors, not to mention that there was not enough reason to do so, and at the beginning of this confrontation, the standard commander Wen and gently prevailed.
"The combat effectiveness of the infantry and archers will be weakened in the short term, but this war is carried out in the grassland desert, the main task of the infantry archers is to defend the camp, relying on the fence and arrow tower only to defend and not attack, and in wartime, the light armor will be replaced with chain chain armor, the protection will be strengthened, and the camp defense will be more stable. ”
Coach Qiu obviously analyzed all kinds of situations, and Hua Yue couldn't help but nod his head when he said something, defending the camp, there is really no need to recruit too many skilled cavalry students, with defensive facilities as a backing, the tension and panic of the recruits in the first battle can also be effectively reduced, and the reorganization plan can't find faults.
Militarily feasible, will things be so simple? Hua Yue remained silent.
"The drawn men formed a new cavalry patrol, armed with the Praetorian Guard's armor and staff, and selected the best horses from the infantry and archers. The difficulty is the lack of officers. ”
Coach Qiu paused for a moment and looked at Mei Ying and Yan Ning.
The participants were officers above the captain level, and only Mei Ying and Yan Ning participated in the personal guards, Mei Ying was a matter of course as the county chief, and Yan Ning was specially invited by the standard commander Wen Qingrou. The internal affairs, grain and grass, ordnance, etc. of the standard team are all under the control of the women's guard team, and it is unceremonious to say that in the Lingbo standard team, Yan Ning is a veritable third-in-command, and the real power he holds is far greater than that of several patrol commanders, not to mention that the old marquis Yan is sitting in Jicui Guancheng, and the standard team will inevitably deal with it in the future, who else is more suitable than her.
"The elite of the pro-guard team gathers, many guards are not to mention the sentry chief, and they are enough to be the patrol commander, but the pro-guard team is just an ordinary member, it is a pity to gather together, and some people are transferred to serve as the captain of the sentry commander, and the new cavalry patrol will soon be able to form combat effectiveness, and the strength of the pro-guard team will not be greatly affected, after all, their task is to protect the county lord and the standard commander, and the charge mainly depends on the five patrol soldiers. ”
Yan Ning frowned, and took away the backbone of the pro-guard team, needless to say, and then the person specially prepared by the standard commander will be stuffed in, and the captain is not there, what should I do?
"Coach Qiu, the standard commander wants to assault in a cavalry cone formation, the pro-guard team is the tip of the cone, you draw out the elite soldiers, we not only have to protect the county lord and the standard commander, but also act as the vanguard of the standard team, and also manage the internal affairs of the standard team, don't you think we will take care of one or the other?"
Yan Ning said the opposite, and the questions raised were very practical, with the pro-guard team as the tip, and Coach Qiu was also opposed, that was not their combat mission.
Although the personal guard of the Lingbo standard team is specially formed, the strength is comparable to that of the patrols, and the strength is stronger, but there is one more task to protect the imperial county lord, although the new cavalry patrol will not hurt the muscles and bones, the strength will inevitably weaken, and then take on the tip of the standard team, it will be disabled after a few battles, and it will have to replenish the reserves, can it still be called a place where the elite gather at that time?
The plan of the tactical group was to let the two patrols of cavalry flank the left and right, and when the reserves arrived, one patrol of cavalry would be selected, and then the power of the conical formation would be exerted, and the three patrols would take turns to take the front.
I don't know why he suddenly proposed a conical formation, Coach Qiu was difficult to answer Yan Ning's question, and looked at the standard commander Wen gently.
"Cone formation assault, maintaining the formation is particularly important, in order to facilitate timely command, referring to the sunset cavalry tactics, the commander of this standard will be in the vanguard, the personal guard with him, acting as the tip of the cone to kill two birds with one stone, what is there to be strange, do you think I don't have the strength to charge. ”
The gentle explanation was even dispelled, Yan Ning was speechless, the standard commander was the vanguard, what reason did the pro-guard team have to hide behind and protect the county lord?
"Coach Qiu and the instructors of the tactical team thought hard for a few days, and then they came up with the best plan, with only one purpose, to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Lingbo Standard Team, better protect the county lord, and wash away the shame of the ninth standard as soon as possible. ”
No one objected to the reorganization plan, four of the five inspectors were silent, and there were few people who catered to them, and the standard commander spoke gently and softly again, first to occupy the name of righteousness, and then to carry the banner of love.
"Cadets who have no actual combat experience will be organized into advanced soldiers and archers, so that they can have more time for training and study, and have more opportunities to save their lives in wartime. ”
"The tactical team is thoughtful, and there may be omissions, all of them are officers, and everyone speaks freely, and the reorganization plan is as perfect as possible. ”
The light infantry patrol commander was the first to speak: "The new cavalry patrol, who will be the patrol commander?"
Everything is planned, and his question seems to be straight to the core, but in fact, he is avoiding the most sensitive premise, whether the existing establishment should be changed, everyone has not yet made a clear statement, and first discussing who will be the inspector will show that everyone supports the reorganization plan.
"I recommend excellence, he is the county lord's guard, and he has been the captain of the guard for four years, and he is qualified and capable of being the cavalry patrol. ”
Li Zihui's words are impeccable, the old boss of the captain of the guard, the county lord's guard, regardless of ability, qualifications and loyalty, Zhuo Zhuo is the best candidate.
After several officers echoed Li Zihui, the atmosphere in the venue was a little cold for a while, and Zhuo Zhuo stood up embarrassedly.
"Thanks to a few nominations, I lack practical experience, and I feel that it is safe to choose people from among the seniors. ”
He didn't talk much, he was very humble, he expressed his gratitude to the people who were promoted, and he flattered the seniors even more, you must know that most of the officers here are sixth-graders.
The people who should express their support all showed their faces, and the silent people would not open their mouths in favor again, and the standard chief was about to make a final decision, but Mei Ying stood up.
"According to the imperial military system, everyone here, including the standard commander and the instructors of the tactical group, has no right to decide on the establishment of the patrol level and the selection of the patrol commander, which is the authority of the captain of the standard battalion. ”
Wen Qingrou's face flushed, Coach Qiu's scar twitched, and he overstepped his authority to adapt, this is a real crime, I wanted to report it under the guise of the advice of all the officers, and I would not be able to take command outside, and give the standard battalion a fait accompli, anyway, it is to improve the combat effectiveness of the standard team, and I am not afraid of gossip.
Mei Ying's opposition made the whole plan come to naught, her identity as the county lord is there, and if she really wants to investigate it, the instructor and the standard commander of the tactical team are gentle and gentle, and they will immediately let the standard battalion order a suspension for investigation, and overstep their authority to reorganize the army, what is your purpose? Do you want to launch a mutiny?
Mei Ying didn't think about it so much, she just felt that the imperial military system could not be desecrated, so she got up to maintain military discipline, and seeing that the faces of the two instructors were unnatural, she softened her tone and continued to speak.
"The tactical group proposes a plan, and the standard commander agrees, then report to the standard battalion for decision, there is no need to let the officers overstep their authority to discuss. However, I personally think that the plan is feasible, it depends on how the standard battalion is considered as a whole, Lingbo is a full battalion, and the vanguard standard team must conform to the overall deployment, and I think the captain has his own strategy. ”
did not delve into the purpose of overstepping his authority, because he believed in the loyalty of the two instructors, and he was unwilling to sweep their faces in public, but Li Zihui's practice of using Gao Yuan as a stepping stone to elevate excellence aroused Mei Ying's strong disgust.
Gao Yuan obtained the samurai qualification a year earlier than Excellence, and the first place in the overall results of various assessments, everyone understands that he was deliberately hiding his strength before, and he really wanted to rob the sentry chief, with the strong support of Li Changgong's fox friends and dog friends, Excellence has long been Xian, where did the boss say, it seems that Gao Yuan's ability is far inferior to Excellence.
Li Zihui's heart was punishable, and Mei Ying's voice became cold when she spoke again.
"The Imperial Army has ordered the separation of military and political affairs, marked with the following system, and the captain of the pro-guard to perform military and political duties, this is the iron law of the military department, and if anyone dares to overstep his authority to criticize the captain of the pro-guard in the future, I will treat it as ill-intentioned and directly order the royal secret guard to severely sanction it!"
The officers present restrained their breath, and the royal secret guards severely punished them, that is, regardless of the right and wrong, they will kill you first, for the sake of Gao Yuan, Mei Ying, as the county lord, showed her iron-blooded side in public for the first time, reminding all the officers who is the real person in charge of this Ling Bo standard team.
Thanks to Mei Ying's reminder, the past few days have made the assassin dizzy, bent on improving the combat effectiveness of the standard team, and almost violated the imperial military discipline. Coach Qiu, then report the plan to the standard camp. ”
"Commander, the tactical team only makes suggestions, does not participate in specific military affairs, whether to report or not, how to implement it, is the authority of you and the captain of the guard. ”
Mei Ying's reminder was like a slap in the face, overstepping his authority to organize the army, no matter which empire he was in, this crime was a royal taboo, and after Coach Qiu reacted, he immediately refused to carry out the task.
Li Zihui was accustomed to observing words and looking at his thoughts, and when he saw that the standard chief was in an embarrassing situation, he changed the topic according to Coach Qiu's tone: "By the way, where did Gao Yuan go? ”
"He reported that he was going to Sanhe Bay to explore the terrain, and I approved it. Wen stood up when he said softly, and commanded with a forced smile: "I will send someone to submit the reorganization plan to the standard camp." Hehe, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to consider it comprehensively in advance, and it is also the commander's right to punish him on the spot. ”
At the end of the military meeting, the reorganization plan was suspended, waiting for the final approval of the standard battalion.
"Loyal to the Empire, brave and valiant. ”
The instructor of the tactical group knew in his heart that even if the plan was approved, if Takagaki did not recognize loyalty, the excellent cavalry patrol was just an empty dream, and the more people who were promoted, the less likely it was to be appointed.
