Chapter 129: Pure Team and Flower Team

The construction of the new city has officially entered the track, and everything is in order. Li Jing handed over the specific matters of building the city to several old craftsmen and Zhang Hong, Du Zhongwu, Cui Zhiyuan and other civil servants. He himself transferred Lin Wu, Wang Chong, and Wang Wu to start a new round of soldier training.

Although hoarding fields, setting up workshops, and building cities are important, for Li Jing, the most important thing at the moment is to train a reliable army. Only the army is the real foundation of its existence. Although there are 2,000 troops in the newly expanded army at present, in fact, Li Jing, Lin Wu and others know very well that these 2,000 men and horses can only wear brand new military uniforms and stand in a slightly neat queue.

If you want to go further, to the realm where you can fight when you pull it out and keep it when you lock it up, the difference is still 108,000 miles away. Li Jing didn't think about becoming a fat man in one bite, his current idea was to train the combat team and the family team first, as for the auxiliary team and the logistics team, for the time being, let them continue to build the city while training the queue. Li Jing's requirements for the war team and the family team are that they can form an army within three months, be able to defend Shamen Island after half a year, and be able to pull out and fight after one year.

Time waits for no one, and the chaos in the world is getting closer and closer, and Li Jing is really anxious.

The batch of ordnance that he bought from Song Wen at a great price has not yet arrived, and Li Jing now only has four hundred sets of equipment in his hands. The team of four hundred and twenty men, exactly one set of one person. Of the 140 members of the Jiading team, only a few officers were equipped, and as for the actual Jiading, they could only temporarily hold the hundreds of worn-out spears and horizontal knives, bows and arrows that they had brought from Da Xie Yan.

According to the current expanded establishment, there are 10 soldiers in a group, and there are two other commanders and deputy commanders. A team of 50 soldiers, plus 10 chief and deputy commanders, as well as team leader, deputy team leader, Yu Hou, instructor head, flag bearer, deputy flag bearer, two banners, one herald, and one trumpeter. In total, there were seventy people in the team. However, when calculating numbers in peacetime, officers do not count them. It's still a team of fifty.

The Clansman and Clans are the strongest and toughest of the best. In addition, most of the officers who served as officers were veterans of the Zuo Yidu, and after the half-month training in Wang Li Village, they went to the north wind at this time, but they were also holding their heads high, their momentum was extraordinary, and the array was mighty.

There were originally five teams of the war team, and Li Jing went to Shamen to garrison the troops. After breaking the legs of Feng Ming and other garrisons, the original 50 men and horses of this Shamen Garrison existed in name only. Li Jing directly promoted Qiu Shengong's group of twelve people to the second team of the left three soldiers, Qiu Shengong was promoted to the team leader, Qian Laosan was promoted to the deputy of the team, and Tian Laoqi was promoted to Yu Hou. The officers of the second team of the third capital on the left basically used the gang of Yuanqiu Shengong, and most of the newly added men and horses were Xinding. Veterans were not transferred into it. This move shocked Qiu Shengong and his group, and the little estrangement they had from Li Jing and the others immediately disappeared, and they quickly merged together.

Li Jing is the first general of Shamen Town, Lin Wu is the second general, Wang Chongwei is the third general, and Lin Wei is the head of the head of the second general. The great monk Xuancheng was appointed by Li Jingji as the head of the stick. In addition, Li Jing also serves as the head of archery. Lin Wei is also the head of the gun lance, and Lin Wu is the head of the riding coach. Wang Zhong is the head of shield arts, and Qiu Shengong is the head of sword skills.

Li Jing, the town general, in addition to serving as the first general of the war army, also serves as the head of archery, and also serves as the head of the right capital of the family. One person wears many hats, and there are two soldiers and horses in his own hands. Most of the reasons for wearing multiple positions in this way is that now that the armies are newly established, except for Li Jing, there are no officers who can really hold down the table. Second, there are also some selfish intentions of Li Jing, these troops and horses are newly established, Li Jing hopes to be able to take up real positions, and cultivate some feelings with this group of soldiers and officers under him.

This is not entirely to say that Li Jing does not trust others, but that the matter of commanding the army must not be sloppy. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and the sword is the strength of the sword. Li Jing didn't want to build a team of soldiers and horses with all his might, but he finally made a wedding dress for someone else. Li Jing also did not have the idea of personally taking charge of the army for a long time, as long as he cultivated a group of loyal officers who could be trusted, he could delegate military power at that time. For the time being, let's work a little harder.

After inspecting the soldiers and family members of the Wudu and 11th teams together, more than a dozen officers of the capital team expressed their opinions and comments together.

"Cohort training has been in a phase and I think it can be ended for the time being. For the next stage of training, guns, sticks, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, shields, these practical skills must be trained, otherwise it is useless to really fight, just relying on the queue. As the head coach, Lin Wei was the first to put forward his opinion. The soldiers of Shamen Town have retained the tradition of the original Zuo Yidu, starting from the queue training, and before the team training is completed, they will not carry out the training of those actual combat subjects. This one has never been doubted.

Li Jing nodded, in terms of training the army, the Lin Wei brothers are both from the Shence Army, that is, Qiu Shengong, Zhang Chengzong, and Li Shugen are also from the old army. In this regard, Li Jing does not express his opinions too much, and in most cases still listens to these experienced words.

"I have a question to ask first." Li Jing got up and glanced around at the generals, and said slowly: "Before proceeding to the next step of training, I would like to ask a question about the establishment of our soldiers. Historically, in the military, the team has been the basic unit. And the team is generally different from a pure team and a flower team. Now, although our team is completed, we have not considered this issue, let me tell you your opinion, do we train the team according to the equipment of the flower team, or completely according to the equipment of the pure team? ”

Flower team, pure team, the two nouns proposed by Li Jing are not unfamiliar to the generals here. The so-called pure team means that the whole team is equipped with one kind of equipment. This situation was most common during the Warring States period. In 484 B.C. (the thirty-sixth year of King Jing of Zhou and the eleventh year of Duke Lu Ai), the Qi army invaded Lu, and the retainer of Lu Jisun's family Ran asked for three hundred soldiers to participate in the battle, "using spears in Qi divisions, so they can enter their army", that is, the whole army of 300 people all use spears. Three hundred "pure" spearmen.

And the flower team, also known as the flower costume. The flower team is a mixed equipment compared to the pure team, and the first team begins to have a mixed mix of soldiers with long-range shooting and fighting.

The difference between a pure team and a flower team, that is, a pure weapon combat team and a mixed weapon combat team. If you don't assemble it, then the next training method, and even the future combat method will be different. It's the right time to raise it.

The most commonly used configuration of the pure team is the pure spear team, and the spearmen do not show much power when they are fighting alone. But if the whole team is equipped with spears and forms a spear formation, even the cavalry has to avoid its edge for the time being.

Compared with the pure team, the flower team has the ability to shoot long and close at the same time in a team, which makes the flower team have a more comprehensive combat effectiveness.

It was written in the early Tang Dynasty, when the heavy cavalry had just declined, and its infantry establishment can reflect the infantry establishment of the heavy cavalry era from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty. Among them, there are bows, crossbows, battle fronts, etc., all of which are pure teams; When he arrived in the Middle Tang Dynasty, he saw the flower team: "The fire chief does not pre-teach, and his weapons are also within the score." A 30 collar 6 points, 20 collar 4 points, 50 spears 10 points, 10 cards 2 points, 10 crossbows 2 points, Mo knife 10 2 points, 40 arrows 8 points, 40 sabers 8 points, 10 corpses 6 points. ”

Spearmen, archers, crossbowmen, strikers, these are pure teams. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the team had already begun to be mixed according to the group, and a team was equipped with several long and short weapons.

This issue is very important, and it has a complete bearing on the entire military training in the future. Even Lin Wu pondered carefully and did not speak immediately.

Li Jing tapped the table lightly: "Let's see if this is the case, now we have 2,000 soldiers, and we are divided into four categories of soldiers and horses according to the second line of the main force: soldiers, family soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and logistics. There are a lot of soldiers and horses, but we are limited in training, and our equipment is even less likely to be fully armed. So my idea is that the flower team has a more flexible way of fighting, and the requirements are also higher, both in terms of soldier quality and equipment requirements than the pure team. Therefore, I plan to equip the war team with the Jiading team according to the flower team, a team of five people, with a group of square shield spearmen as odd soldiers, with a group of horizontal sword round platoon soldiers as jumping soldiers, and then with a group of Mo Dao team as the front team, and then with a group of crossbow soldiers as the bow team. and a group of cavalry as rangers. In addition, all five teams are fully equipped with bows and arrows, and the crossbow team is equipped with crossbows. ”

Spear Square Shield Surprise Troops, Horizontal Knife Circle Row Jumping Team, Mo Knife Battle Blade Team, Archer Bow and Crossbow Team, Light Horse Rangers. A team of five people, each group of twelve people. The whole team was divided into five mixed arms, some far and near, and cavalry. This preparation is completely set up according to the layout in Li Weigong's Art of War. However, in Li Weigong's method of war, the team is organized as a unit, and Li Jing's soldiers and horses are limited, so he is mixed at the first level of the team, and the team is mixed.

"In this way, when engaging the enemy, the rangers first maintain contact with the enemy, delay the enemy's movement and prevent the enemy's sudden attack, so as to cover the main force to deploy and complete the preparation for the attack; Crossbow teams, battle fronts, jumpers, surprise soldiers, etc., attack enemy soldiers with bows and crossbows. Then, when the enemy approached, the captain of the strange soldier spear shield took the lead in receiving the enemy, responsible for stabilizing the formation of our army and blocking the enemy's impact. Then the strikers retract their bows and kill the enemy with their swords; The jumping team used the results of the Mo Dao team to charge the enemy in a circle with horizontal knives, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat and white-knuckle combat with the enemy; Depending on the situation, the crossbow team will increase the force of the assault from the front or carry out a roundabout encirclement from the enemy's flank and back, and flank the enemy. Cavalry rangers protect the flanks and are responsible for taking the lead in pursuit when the main force defeats the enemy. ”

Li Jing narrated Li Weigong's classic tactics in the art of war, but the difference was that the scale was reduced a little. At the end, Li Jing pointed out that although this set of tactics is suitable for the improved flower team, it has high requirements for weapons. The odd team must be equipped with spears, bows and arrows, and shields. The jumping team must be equipped with a long bow, a horizontal knife, and a round row. The Mo Dao Battle Blade must be equipped with a longbow and a Mo Knife. The crossbow team should be equipped with crossbow machines, bows and arrows. Cavalry rangers, on the other hand, need to ride spears, horn bows, cavalry shields, and horizontal knives.
