Chapter 7 Elite Soldiers
(Thank you xwaychen for the tip, thank you!) οΌ
When one of the emperor's personal guards brought the emperor's reward to the camp with dozens of soldiers from the baggage battalion, all the three thousand cavalry were boiling.
For them, it's almost the same to follow any general. But now as soon as you go to the newly established "broken army" battalion, you will have such preferential treatment, not only beef and mutton to eat, but also hundreds of jars of good wine. This can't help but make the more cavalrymen feel that maybe it is really a good choice to follow this young general, at least when others are eating dry food, they have good wine and meat to eat and drink, and this general is also a brave warrior in battle, under such a person, it is estimated that there will be a few more guarantees in the battle, and even a few more opportunities to earn military merits and get rewards.
A group of officers also walked out of the camp and joined the cavalry, drinking the wine given by the emperor and eating large pieces of roasted golden beef and mutton.
Li Benlei sat next to Chen Kefu, drinking wine heartily while asking, "How does the general plan to organize these three thousand cavalry?" According to the law of marching, a team of 100 men should be divided into a team of 300, and 3,000 men should be divided into 30 teams, but what should these officers do? β
"The big war is coming, but our 3,000 men and horses are all transferred from other places, if we can't form combat strength in a short time, then in the next big war, we will be in trouble." Chen Kefu sighed and said.
Li Benlei looked at the happy cavalrymen in front of him and said, "These are all good sons of my Han family, if they go to the battlefield like this, I don't know how many people will stay here, and I don't know how many people will return home." Looking at these happy soldiers, the old general couldn't help but think of his subordinates, when he last conquered Goguryeo, he was the commander of an army, with 4,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, and more than 10,000 people, but in the end there were less than 200 people who withdrew across the Liao River. Even his three sons and two grandsons who had just reached adulthood all died in Liaodong.
"Old general, I know that you are my senior, if you don't dislike it, I hope that you will conduct an integrated and strengthened training for these three thousand people. Let's go with our 3,000 cavalry at the current level, and I don't know how to reorganize it for a while. If one is not good, it will disrupt the morale of the army. Now that we have entered Liaodong, we may have to fight the Goguryeo people next. I have heard of the prestige of the old general when I was a child, and I hope to leave the training to you, and take advantage of the last time to train them in cavalry formation, weapon tearing, white-knuckle combat skills, hand-to-hand combat, and field attacks. Pile the trees on the playground and let them cut the stakes immediately, so as to strengthen the physical strength and endurance of the soldiers as much as possible. Sweat a little more now, and you'll be able to bleed less in the future. Li Chenxin said some of the cavalry knowledge he knew.
Chen Benlei looked at the young general in front of the fire with some surprise, it was very rare to be able to say so many cavalry training methods in one breath. In this era, most of the soldiers were illiterate martial artists, even if they were children of the family, there were few who really had difficulty understanding the art of war. The old man has been martial arts all his life, and although the training method he has learned from tearing and killing will not be worse than what Chen Kefu said, it is not so comprehensive and clear.
"It seems that the general is a man who knows the soldiers, and he is much better than the old man. There are some methods of the general, I have never heard of them, but once I have heard of them, it is really good. This cavalry training does explain individual strength and endurance, and pays more attention to the coordination of individual formations and arrays. The method of cutting the wooden stake arranged by the general is good, and it is really a good idea to cut the wooden stake during the attack. β
Chen Kefu took a big sip of wine and said with a smile, "Actually, I used to like to listen to some historical romances or something, and my favorite is the story of the Three Kingdoms." What is said is just a clichΓ©, and to really train these cavalry, you need a veteran like you to come out. It is said that you are my senior, and your position was even higher than mine in the past, but I couldn't find too many suitable people for a while, so I had to ask the old general to come out. "The Three Kingdoms that Chen Kefu said is actually the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but although the story of the Three Kingdoms in this era is also recited by many people, it is a variety of romance scripts, which are far worse than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Li Benlei waved his hand, "There is no need to say anything about the general's words in the future, I am only a Vietnamese cavalry captain now, so the general can only give orders if he has something, and I will never shirk the old man." I will definitely train these three thousand sons according to the method that the general said, and if I can give me some time, I will definitely be able to train them to be good cavalrymen of the first class in the army. It's a pity that in my observation of the army, although these 3,000 cavalry are equipped with bright light armor, spears, and scimitars, if they can be equipped with a batch of small round shields, plus a crossbow and a bow, then these 3,000 Erlang's combat power can be even higher. β
Chen Kefu's eyes flashed when he heard this, the cavalry of this era already had saddle horses, so as long as they were paired with a bow and crossbow, then the cavalry could not only raid the opponent's array in close combat, but also attack with a bow and crossbow from a distance.
"The old general will leave this matter to me, I'll go to General Yuwen, maybe I can get it. I'm just afraid that the time is too short, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight without training. β
"Don't worry, most of my Great Sui cavalry can shoot arrows with bows, not to mention that sometimes they don't need to have too good archery skills, and when they are critical, they will shoot on their back, and the effect will be the same." Li Benlei was also very happy when he heard that Chen Kefu could get a bow and crossbow. He now wants to train the 3,000 cavalry in his hands to kill more Goguryeo people and avenge the hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters who died tragically in Liaodong.
The next day, Chen Kefu reversed his previous gentle and generous face towards everyone, and ordered the whole battalion not to reorganize the troops according to the marching system for the time being, and the whole battalion was still commanded according to the establishment of the government army, but considering that many officers were newly joined, Li Chenxin reorganized and reorganized all the officers above the brigade level. On the surface, he did this to increase his combat strength, but in fact, Chen Kefu did this just to better grasp the military power of these 3,000 people in his hands and prevent his subordinate officers from overthrowing him. Seeing that the world is about to be in chaos, although Chen Kefu doesn't know where he should go next, no matter what, holding military power in his hand is the greatest guarantee for survival in this troubled world.
Chen Kefu not only re-transferred the officers above the brigade level, but also ordered Li Benlei to temporarily serve as his deputy, but this was a private appointment and was not recognized by the imperial court. But here he has the final say, and he says that he is the deputy, and then the others have to accept his dispatch. However, the old man had achieved the position of commander of the army all the way, and everyone had no opinion on this. In addition, Luo Lin's team was transferred as a pro-soldier, and Luo Lin was a pro-soldier team, which can be regarded as Chen Kefu taking care of him.
And the first thing that Old Man Chen did when he took office was training, high-intensity training, training them every day to cooperate with cavalry formations, weapon tearing and killing, white-knuckle combat skills, hand-to-hand combat, field running, immediately cutting stakes, immediately archery and other projects. Basically, everyone is tired and dying at the end of the day, but at this time, Chen Kefu can always appear very kindly, and then announce that the big piece of beef and mutton is full in the evening, so that although the training is very tiring, but for the sake of beef and mutton, everyone also feels that it is worth it.
At the end of the day's training, the cavalrymen lit a bonfire in the camp as usual, and happily shared the beef and mutton, which was a treatment that the guards around the Son of Heaven could not enjoy. However, they can enjoy a large piece of beef and mutton every day with Master Chen Kefu, and the ten best soldiers in each team can also get two taels of good wine. I don't know how many friendly soldiers are envious of this kind of treatment, and many soldiers in the broken barracks have many fellow villagers and friends who come to ask if they can also be transferred to the broken barracks.
Breaking the barracks Eagle Yang Lang will be a big account, at this time the lights are bright, all the officers above the team are here, according to the size of the position on both sides of the queue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the training in my broken military camp is more tiring than that of other military camps, there is wine and meat every day, and I don't know how many other soldiers are envious and jealous. There are even rumors outside that we are the honor guards kept by His Majesty, all of them are silver-like wax spear heads, which are beautiful on the outside, but they can't go to the battlefield. Can you accept such a statement? β
"Can't!"
"Louder!"
"Can't !!"
"Okay, this is a good man in my barracks, raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using soldiers for a while. In order to prove that my three thousand sons are not wine bags and rice bags, I have asked Your Majesty for an order to go to war in the next day. Success or failure, in this move, I hope that everyone can work together, and I will move forward bravely. This time, we must show the prestige of my broken barracks in front of the three armies. I want everyone to know that the prestige of my broken barracks is to be killed, not eaten. Kill! β
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! β
Looking at the excited officers in front of him, Chen Kefu believed that the first battle of the broken military camp that was about to come would be a blockbuster, and he wanted to let the prestige of the broken military camp spread throughout the three armies.
