At present, there are two types of countries with the same military structure, Qin and Lu Zhe have special soldiers and auxiliaries, but the other countries do not have a clear division from the structure.

What are the armies of the nations like? Probably all soldiers are soldiers, regardless of the types of troops that are specifically used for combat and support. In their army, what each unit should do and what it can do depends entirely on the commander-in-chief's arrangement, and it is likely that a certain unit was an escort at the last moment, and after a while it became the main force on the frontal battlefield.

The combat effectiveness of the armies is difficult to maintain a fixed combat effectiveness because there is no special combat system, so whether the armies of the nations can fight or not depends entirely on whether the commander-in-chief can figure out which troops can fight.

The armies of Qin and Lu Zhe were divided into soldiers and auxiliaries, but it was not entirely that the auxiliaries were not allowed to fight on the battlefield, but the formation was divided into details, which according to modern terms were "first-line troops" and "second-line troops". If it is understood according to the Tang and Song dynasties, it is the difference between A, B, C, and D, which are divided into field groups and garrison groups.

The countries that will go to the alliance together have a total of 530,000, of which Qi, Yan, and Chu have 330,000, and this is still the number of troops that have been reported, in fact, it must be more than that.

The Qin State came not from 2,000, but from 80,000. 80,000 Qin troops, if it was 80,000 Qin troops during the War of Unification, how could it be a force that destroyed the country and destroyed the country. The current Qin army does not have the belligerence of the unification war, but in terms of combat awareness and related literacy, the Qin army is still not so easy to mess with.

After losing his mind for a while, Lu Zhe was very sure that he couldn't just bring 50,000 soldiers over, and the soldiers under his command were probably the same combat power as during the unification of Qin under a series of benefits and a bright future. However, if you face the elite soldiers of Jiangdong in the Chu State, the soldiers under Lu Zhe will definitely be inferior.

Kuaitong also frowned: "It's too much." ”

It is said that there are too many armies of other countries that will be cautious, among which there are at least 330,000 who may be hostile, and there are 80,000 Qin troops whose intentions are unknown. Then there is an army of at least 410,000 moths who don't know what kind of trouble will be made.

"The Wei army is 60,000, the Han army is 30,000, and the Zhao army is 200,000, which adds up to 260,000." Kuaitong said about the army that would stand on Lu Zhe's side when the fight started: "The Lord has 50,000 soldiers and 110,000 auxiliaries...... Insufficient! ”

The auxiliaries on Lü Zhe's side are different from the systems of the countries in China today, and the auxiliaries of the Qin State are still armed civilians in the nature of conscription, but the auxiliaries on their side are a mercenary system, that is to say, they recruit soldiers from the people, a mercenary system that is paid according to the time of service and merit.

Mercenary troops were a policy that Lü Zhe was trying to implement, in order to soothe the enthusiasm of his subordinates to join the army. To put it simply, it was set up in order not to let the overheated desire to join the army cause trouble, so in addition to the first-line combat units of several legions of the standing army, Lu Zhe garrisoned troops in various places were second-line troops, and the Tuntian soldiers became third-line troops. The recruited mercenary soldiers then become an army between the first-line combat unit and the second-line army.

The recruitment of auxiliaries is to serve the soldiers, so the existence of auxiliaries has basically been finalized, and it is more inclined to the category of logistics support. However, Lu Zhe also performed the meritorious service of the auxiliary soldiers, and the merit will also be calculated, so the belligerence of these mercenaries will also be enhanced. They are temporarily divided into formations, whether it is between robes or officers, it is difficult to form any combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but because there are also military merits that can be accumulated, after a period of running-in, although they are not as good as the troops composed of professional soldiers. But it should be no problem to compete with the armies of the nations.

In fact, it is a common phenomenon in Western society for the government to issue recruitment orders and recruit young people from the people to form an army. If there is a group of young people who have enough base to practice their fighting skills, it would be a very good choice for Lu Zhe to implement such a plan. To be honest, an army of this nature is able to be formed quickly in wartime. It is very convenient to wait for the end of the war and disband it immediately. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this will cause trouble for public security, and at the same time, if the central government's control over the local government will be reduced. It can be a source of turmoil.

When Lu Zhe was still alive, he was not afraid of any decline in control, and he made such a plan to prepare for the future, after all, he would not be satisfied with dominating China. However, it is not appropriate to continue to expand outward in the form of a national standing army, so is it possible to use this plan to train samurai with a sufficient base and establish a state-led but private form of outward expansion? (i.e. colonization of the corporate way)

The countries sent so many troops, and there was an 80,000 Qin army, and it was definitely not enough for Lu Zhe to bring only 50,000 soldiers. They carefully calculated, even if it did not form an overwhelming advantage, Lu Zhe would have to bring at least 100,000 soldiers to ensure safety, which was still based on the premise that there were Northern Legions and Eastern Legions behind.

"The Qin army has 3,000 chariots, 15,000 cavalry, and the rest are crossbowmen, spearmen, and spearmen." Kuaitong's face was not grim, but they were constantly studying the Qin State, and they knew very well that the current Qin army was no longer the army of those tigers and wolves, at most it was an army with sufficient tactics and experience: "The chariot troops of Qi, Yan, and Chu combined exceeded 5,000, and the rest were infantry troops. ”

Yes, there are no large-scale cavalry formations in the nations except for Zhao, and there are small-scale cavalry units that are also scouts, and they are all committed to the development of charioteers.

When it comes to charioteers, the civil and military forces under Lu Zhe are more or less entangled, the world (referring to the Chinese region) is desperately trying to develop charioteers, and they really don't understand why their own masters are indifferent to chariots, a type of military that shows national strength and is very good to use.

The current charioteers are still a kind of mainstream, especially when it comes to dealing with infantry troops. Imagine a chariot pulled by at least two horses, the body of the chariot is at least three meters long and two meters wide, and there is a rider, two spearmen, and an archer on top of the chariot, and they are rampage on the battlefield.

Lu Zhe's side has the resources to develop charioteers, and spending a little effort to arm a chariot force of more than 3,000 times will not affect the development of other arms at all. However, Lu Zhe was reluctant to develop charioteers, but spent a great deal of money to develop cavalry, and spent a lot of money to constantly manufacture and purchase armor for the standing army.

Cavalry is the mainstream of the future, Lu Zhe knows this, and he also knows that the desire to develop charioteers under his command is very strong. He originally wanted to hold an exercise for the respective purposes of cavalry and charioteers, but there has never been such an opportunity, if there is no such alliance, the arrangement of the exercise is already being done, but it is delayed by the alliance, so it can only be done after the alliance.

According to the number of horses that are constantly being imported, and a horse ranch has been set up in the Qianzhong Plain of Cangwu County, and a horse farm has also been set up in the North Plain of Yiling in Nan County, and Lu Zhe expects to be able to form a cavalry force of 50,000 within three years.

This 50,000 cavalry does not mean that there are only 50,000 war horses, in fact, the number of war horses of 50,000 cavalry needs at least 120,000 war horses, just like a chariot needs more than two war horses, but also needs replacement horses.

At present, the number of war horses in Lu Zhe's hands is nearly 60,000, and a team of 20,000 cavalry has been formed. There are 60,000 war horses, not a total of 60,000 horses, if you count the horses that have not been tamed into war horses, the total number of horses in Lu Zhe's hands is nearly 230,000, and this is also due to the continuous purchase of horses from outside in the past two years.

The war horses purchased by the Qin State are divided into the horses of the northwest of Longxi and the Yunnan horses of the Bashu generation, and the Zhao State and Yandi are basically the generations of horses. Not all horses are suitable for taming into war horses, for example, Yunnan horses are not suitable for war horses, but can only be horses. A colt is a type of bantam that is not suitable for riding, but has a lot of stamina, and is used to carry goods.

If it is really differentiated, the Qin State did not cut off the transportation of the northern horses, and the generation horses on the side of Zhao Di Yandi also increased the amount of transportation, so that the number of horses in Lu Zhe's hands exceeded 500,000, then it is still a bit reliable to form 50,000 cavalry in three years, and then use these 50,000 cavalry as the backbone to expand the number of cavalry to 100,000.

Since the terrain on the Shen side is similar to the hub, the terrain will definitely not be too complicated, considering that the charioteers of the countries are at least tens of thousands of times, Lu Zhe must appropriately increase the number of cavalry and heavy infantry for his own safety.

"The cavalry can make up 30,000 if they get together again, and the heavy infantry can be appropriately increased to 30,000 because they have been paying more attention. In addition, the crossbowmen should be strengthened, and the limit is 30,000. "Lu Zhe didn't say anything about spearmen, spearmen, and shield-wielding swordsmen, the latter three types of soldiers were originally the most common types of soldiers in the army, and it was not difficult to be transferred.

The result of the negotiation was that the number of soldiers should not be less than 100,000, and if there were 100,000 soldiers, the auxiliary troops would definitely increase accordingly, so the army that Lu Zhe brought to participate in the alliance would swell to a total strength of 250,000.

"There will be a co-lieutenant and Ji Bu as a countermeasure later, so I don't think there is any problem." Lu Zhe was more depressed because the lieutenant had not been in the state, he thought about it carefully, although it would inevitably make the lieutenant think more, but the necessary risk should still be avoided: "Let Luo Shao lead a team of soldiers drawn from Nanling, temporarily included in the northern corps system, and Luo Shao will also be appointed as the deputy commander." ”

Hearing Lu Zhe say that, everyone nodded. (To be continued......)
