The reform of the military system is even more complicated, involving all aspects, and there is no room for trouble.
Qin Huaidao didn't know if this change would work, so he waited patiently and hoped that everyone could come up with suggestions for revision.
After a while, Li Yixie glanced at Luo Tong, his eyes fell on Qin Huaidao, and said sternly: "A mixed team can be compared to a reduced army. The soldiers can cooperate in combat. Among the auxiliary troops, the two scouts can perform tasks.
To take care of each other, one person is not enough. The flag soldiers are responsible for delivering messages, and one person is enough. The messengers are responsible for communicating with each team, and one person is enough. Adding a medical soldier and one person can save lives. I think it will work. As for the establishment of battalions, regiments, and divisions above the team,
The corps level is fixed and not temporarily set up. The officers and soldiers are familiar with each other and are commanded at all levels, which makes it easier to divide the troops for operations."
Luo Tong nodded and said: "Yes, division of troops is indeed a problem in the existing Tang Army's military system. Generals are temporarily assigned and are not familiar with the troops, so it is difficult to fully exert their combat effectiveness. If we avoid large-scale battles in future battles, use more
Mobile warfare requires a large number of troops to be divided, and it is necessary to establish a middle-level command, and I think it is feasible."
"What do you think?" Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying hurriedly said: "I don't understand large-scale combat and have never experienced it. After the restructuring, there are more than 270 people in one battalion, more than 1,300 people in one regiment, more than 6,800 people in one division, and nearly 35,000 people in one army. And the Turks have
Centurions, captains of thousands and captains of ten thousand. When encountering a centurion, our battalion of more than 200 people will definitely win. Even a team can have the strength to fight. When encountering a captain of thousands, a regiment with three hundred more troops will win.
When we have a division of ten thousand men, the number of troops is somewhat smaller, but if we use mobile warfare to lure the enemy to divide their forces and fight again, there is a chance. From this perspective, it is feasible!"
Qin Huaidao didn't expect that Li Yixie's calculation ability was so good, which was rare in this era, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It makes sense, then give it a try. If it doesn't work, change it back." Luo Tong agreed.
"Yes, let's try it first." Li Yixie agreed.
When Qin Huaidao saw the three people agreeing, he smiled and said: "Since you have no objection, let's try it. If it doesn't work, make adjustments. There are almost three thousand horse bandits, which is twice the strength of a regiment. In this way, select the elite to form a regiment, and Brother Luo will
Commander, appointed as regimental commander, which means the highest commander of a regiment. The remaining personnel are organized into a baggage regiment. Li Yixie has strong calculation ability. He will temporarily take charge of the position of regimental commander. If a suitable candidate is found, he will be replaced. Tonight, a suitable person must be selected and appointed as the commander.
Officers at all levels should put up shelves to facilitate command."
Li Yixie is a strong man, but he is actually not suitable for managing baggage, but he has people around him who are available, so he can only make do with it first.
"Follow the order." Luo Tong and Li Yixie clasped their fists and agreed.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Yixie and added: "Right now, the baggage regiment is responsible for two things. One is to set up a support battalion, which is responsible for the unified management and distribution of supplies such as grain, grass, war horses, and weapon repairs. Two, it is to set up a gang head battalion to be responsible for cooking.
, select people who are careful, skillful and patient to form a medical camp and be responsible for battlefield treatment. Horse bandits can fight and kill, but they don't know how to treat. They need to do simple trauma treatment training first, and Luo Ying sends people to assist."
"Follow the order." Li Yixie promised again.
Luo Ying also agreed wholeheartedly that battlefield first aid was a compulsory subject and that a thousand people on hand could master it proficiently.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Luo Tong again: "Brother Luo, regarding the selection of officers, they can be allowed to form their own teams and nominate their own captains and team deputy candidates. The horse bandits have just been recruited, and people are panicked. Acquaintances feel safe when they are together, but they are also prone to explosions.
To show their combat effectiveness, the captains of the five teams challenged each other and selected the battalion commander based on force. The horse bandits admired the strong, and those who fought were more prestigious than those who were directly appointed. After completing the adaptation, they learned the three-three system, and Luo Ying assisted. Tonight is
You have to complete the adaptation without sleeping, march quickly after dawn, run using the three-by-three system, practice formation and physical fitness together, and practice fighting at night, also combined with the three-by-three system."
"No problem, I admire the three-three system so much, I'm really looking forward to it." Luo Tong agreed wholeheartedly.
Luo Ying also quickly accepted the order and asked: "I don't mix it here, should I also adapt it?"
"A thousand people on your side will be converted into a special operations group, and you will be the leader."
"Follow the order, thank you uncle." Luo Ying was extremely happy. Although a thousand people had always been under his own control, there was no clear explanation after all. Now it is different, and it is justified.
"There are only fifty people in the village protection team. It will be temporarily changed to a Guards Battalion. Select a battalion commander. Whether it is a recommendation or a fight, I don't care how you choose. Just go and get busy." Qin Huaidao looked at the wary people around him.
The five teams were laughing and said, since they want to change, then they should change them all to avoid trouble.
"Follow the order." Everyone accepted the order in a loud voice and hurried away.
"I hope this change is a good thing." Qin Huaidao murmured to himself, got up, dusted off his butt, returned to the carriage, sat down to rest, and started to work as a hands-off shopkeeper.
Not long after, five teams came over in a hurry, four of them were dejected, and one of them said with joy, "Young Master, I won."
When Qin Huaidao saw that it was Zhao Long, a native of Zhaojia Village, Zhao Shuwen's nephew, he was also a scholar, and could be regarded as both civil and military. It would be good for such a person to be a battalion commander. Besides, the rules were set so that he could not take the lead in breaking the rules. He immediately smiled and said: "Okay,
From now on, you are the commander of the Guards Battalion, and my safety is entrusted to you."
"Young Master, he doesn't follow the rules." A team member said depressedly.
Qin Huaidao was very happy when he heard this: "The enemy doesn't follow the rules during the war. If you lose, you lose. If you can afford to lose, we will expand in the future. You all have the opportunity to be battalion commanders, regimental commanders, and even division commanders. Instead of complaining, why not
Improve your strength and fight again tomorrow."
"Seriously?" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Nonsense, when did your young master lie to you? However, in addition to personal force, future selections also need to take into account military merit, loyalty, etc. By the way, who is second?"
When everyone heard that there was still a chance, they were immediately overjoyed, and the decline was wiped out.
"Young Master, it's me!" A strong young man stepped forward.
When Qin Huaidao saw that it was Wang Hu, who was from Qinjiazhuang, he was happy and deliberately provoked the general: "Huzi, you are not good at it. You actually took second place. It is a disgrace to the young and old men of Qinjiazhuang. It is a waste of your young master's expectations. But
You have to work harder.”
"I..." Wang Hu's face turned red, as if he had been greatly wronged. He stared and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will defeat Zhao Long soon and regain the honor of Qinjiazhuang."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qin Huaidao smiled.
At this time, shouts and fights came from outside, and the selection began. Qin Huaidao became interested and said with a smile: "Let's go and take a look, there is also a selection outside."
The group came outside and saw several groups of people fighting each other, punching each other hard. Who doesn't want to be an officer?
The horse bandits respect the strong and believe in fists. This selection method is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After watching for a while, he really found a few good seedlings, Qin Huaidao secretly wrote them down.
An hour later, the selection results were announced.
Luo Tong appointed various official positions on the spot so that everyone could write down their respective commanders, and then separated into teams as combat units and formed a group. Luo Ying arranged for someone to go up and explain the three-by-three tactics to everyone. He had never gone to school, so it was very difficult to understand.
, everyone imitated Qin Huaidao's original explanation method, using small stones instead of people, constantly arranging troops on the ground, explaining how to change the formation, how to cooperate in fighting, how to charge when encountering different terrains, etc.
Qin Huaidao watched for a while and went back to rest with satisfaction.
Early the next morning, after the team had eaten and drank enough, Luo Tong led the team on a rapid march to practice physical fitness and formation. Luo Ying followed behind with a special team on horseback. Once the adapted horse bandits tried to escape, they could quickly pursue and kill them.
Yesterday, we captured two to three thousand war horses from the horse bandits. It was a pity to lose them, so we just needed to replace them.
Li Yixie followed closely behind the special warfare division with his baggage.
Qin Huaidao led the guards to the rear.
The army rolled away, causing yellow sand to fill the sky.
Not long after, Li Yixie rode over and walked side by side with Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao also rode a captured war horse. Bai Tiewu followed, saving energy and asked: "Yi Xie, what's the matter?"
Li Yixie hurriedly said: "I did some statistics last night and found that there was not enough fodder for the war horses. There was desert all along the way and there was no way to replenish it. The war horses had nothing to eat. In addition, there was not enough food."
"Kill the horses. There is no shortage of horses and food in the Turkic tribes. It is enough to survive the sea of sands. Traveling on the road consumes a lot of money. Plus training, we have four meals a day. We will increase our combat effectiveness as soon as possible. We have more than 4,000 people. Every day
A meal requires three to four thousand kilograms of meat. A war horse has only two to three hundred kilograms of meat left after skinning, bones and internal organs are removed. A meal requires almost twenty horses, eighty horses a day. It takes a lot of effort to cross the sea of sand from here.
In a few days, six to seven hundred horses will be eaten."
When Li Yixie heard that it made sense, if the horses had less fodder, they would eat horse meat, and the food would be left. The problem was solved. He immediately said: "Okay, let's do it this way. It's a pity that so many good horses will be brought back."
Chang'an is a huge wealth."
"The Turks are in no shortage of war horses. You can take as many as you want."
Li Yixie hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "That's right, but I don't know something. I thought there would be fewer people, so we could search quietly, rescue people and then evacuate. Now that there are so many people, their whereabouts will definitely be exposed, which will not increase the number of rescue efforts."
It’s less difficult. With your ability, it’s impossible to make a mistake. Do you have other plans?”
"Of course, you will know when the time comes." Qin Huaidao admitted frankly.
Li Yixie had some vague guesses, but Qin Huaidao didn't want to say anything, so he couldn't ask further. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's not ask. I'll go and look at the supplies."
Qin Huaidao waved his hand and didn't say anything else. He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't cause trouble, his obedient ministers would die quickly. He and Li Er had already broken up with each other and couldn't continue to be stubborn. Otherwise, they would just go to Caishikou.
But there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.
Only by causing trouble and making noise can Xue Rengui be found. It is too difficult to find Xue Rengui by yourself in the vast grassland. What's more, Xue Rengui has not rescued anyone for two or three months after he brought people out. This shows that it is very difficult and no one can do it.
