Yun Zheng looked around and solemnly said: "The above are the items that need to be drilled and tested in this big exercise. Can you, gentlemen (the ancients often call them 'jun', and Japan has learned from China), have the confidence to do so?"
I am an eagle and a guard, and I am famous among thousands of people?"
"Yes!" Thirty or forty people in the handsome tent responded loudly.
Those who can enter this handsome tent are all generals above the rank of captain. They each stand behind their commander. Deputy Commander Yun Yi, Supervisor Xu Shaoyang, and Military Advisor Li Mo sit slightly lower next to Yun Zheng.
, and further down are the six commanders sitting opposite each other: the first guard commander Yun Song Yunwu Ting, the second guard commander Yun Bing Yun Shui Han, the third guard commander Qin Chong Qin Qiang, and the fourth guard commander Qin Chong Qin Xiangqiang.
The commanders of the guards are Chen Yibo and Chen Gutao, the commanders of the fifth guards are Zhu Lancang and Zhu Kuanglan, and the commanders of the sixth guards are Wang Shilian and Wang Zizhen.
"Very good!" Yun Zheng stood up suddenly, his eyes bright: "This is the first time that our Ying Yang Guard has participated in an exercise since the formation of the army, and it is also the first time that we face the royal family and the armies of the Three-Border Town. My Yun family, Yan Yun Guard, is well known to all.
The most powerful army in the world, and all of you are from Yanyunwei, the glorious and glorious army, and you are Yanyunwei, the elite of the world's elite! Now, we have formed today's Yingyangwei based on the foundation of Yanyunwei.
The training that our Yingyang Guards conducted after forming the army was more intense than that of the Yanyun Guards, but the treatment was also better! So I hope that you, at the same time, firmly believe that you will be able to lead your warriors to defeat the enemy.
All opponents and enemies who dare to challenge us! Let our name of Ying Yang Wei resound throughout China!"
With a loud "Here!" in response, everyone stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense (Note: In fact, there is another reason for standing up, which is because the coach has stood up. As a subordinate, you cannot sit down. In ancient times, superiors and subordinates
The rules are very strict, especially in the army.) Yun Zheng stood proudly at the main position, looked around the generals, and said slowly and unhurriedly: "This time the joint performance of the six armies will be held in Hai'an County, and it will be divided into two stages: land and water.
, the water battle is scheduled to take place in Sichuan Port. This is the matter of the Jiang family's turtle guards. Let's not talk about it for the time being. The time for the water and land exercises is initially scheduled to be seven days, of which the land battle exercise will last for a total of six days. The specific situation is as follows: Six armies gathered in Yangzhou
After Yangzhou Mansion, Mr. Cao, the Minister of War, announced the start of the exercise. Each of the six armies marched to Hai'an County at the fastest speed. From Yangzhou Mansion to Hai'an County, it is about 120 miles. This march is a drill and evaluation of the 'Run Attack'
The method is that the first to reach 30,000 people from the entire army of 33,600 will be deemed to have completed the drill. After the entire army has gathered together, the next day they will begin to practice the battle formations separately. The evaluation of the battle formations will be conducted by Sir Cao, the Minister of War, and the Sixth David.
The six supervisory generals jointly conducted an arrow array drill. This was an old rule. The entire army of 33,600 people was divided into fifty-six teams, with each team of 600 people.
The arrow will be shot into the standard area. Calculate on the spot, evaluate on the spot and give the result." After he finished speaking, he looked around at the generals and asked: "If you have any questions about the above matters, ask now."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Qin Chong raised his hands and asked: "Young Marshal, is there a time limit for the 120-mile journey from Yangzhou to Hai'an County?"
Yun Zheng asked back: "Why, are you afraid that you won't be able to escape?"
Qin Chong blurted out: "I'm afraid that Master Cao hasn't arrived yet when I arrive!"
The generals roared with laughter, and Yun Zheng also laughed: "What's the matter? Now that I have straightened my back, Mr. Cao is also a military general. If he rides over, are you afraid that you will walk in front of him?"
Qin Chong raised his head slightly and said proudly: "Young Marshal, didn't we try it last time? The brothers mustered up their energy and traveled with all their strength. It was a hundred and sixty miles a day and night. They also ran fully armed, and the one who walked was the Young Marshal.
You deliberately chose a bad road. Now this time, I think Mr. Cao will not dare to deliberately choose a bad road for those Luoyang young men to go. In this case, take the high road... I won’t say too much, we can only catch up in a day and night.
Two hundred miles away!" (Note: Well, well, we haven't caught up with the Red Army yet, but it seems that the Red Army doesn't carry as many things as in ancient times, at least the armor is not light) Yun Zheng also knows that his Ying Yangwei is not going to be here now.
Not to mention, a pair of iron feet was definitely tempered by himself. Although it cost a lot, the effect is absolutely good. At least in his opinion, its "cost-effectiveness" is very high, which completely satisfies him.
Yunzheng has his own set of views on ancient combat. This is not only inherited from his original body, but also combined with some of his understanding of combat in later generations. It can be regarded as looking at the development of things "from a historical perspective"
There are four key points that Yun Zheng is particularly concerned about: military will (including but not limited to morale, but also resilience, etc.), equipment quality, logistical support, and action speed.
The will of the army was established in later generations based on patriotism and supplemented by honor and material rewards. Therefore, the armies of later generations were very good in this aspect. Many strong armies could continue to fight even when half of the battle was lost.
Some honorable troops and ace troops can even fight to the last soldier. The real jade broken (yu broken is a word coined by China. It is better to have broken jade than to be ruined. Little Japan is a pirated version). But it is quite difficult for ancient troops to do this.
Firstly, cold weapon wars are visually more bloody and more likely to cause mental breakdown; secondly, it is mainly because the so-called "patriotism" in ancient times has not really become a mainstream thought, and love of family is the mainstream.
To a similar extent, nationalism is much better than patriotism. Of course, the simplest one is foodism. Whoever gives you food will fight for it. It’s that simple, so even Yunzheng can only use some roundabout methods.
, First, constantly emphasize to the officers and soldiers that the Yun family has given them food, clothing, houses and even wives, so that they will recognize from the bottom of their hearts that they are members of the Yun family. Although this fact makes the Yun family
Zheng, a man with modern thinking, feels a little awkward in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he has to do it; secondly, he constantly instills the belief that the Yun Family Army is invincible and makes them feel that they can serve as the Yun Family Army.
Being a member of the Communist Party of China is an extremely honorable thing. Because of this relationship, Yun Zheng believes that soldiers who grow up under such "influence" must have a strong sense of honor in their hearts, and a strong sense of honor often becomes a soldier's battle
Will is almost an open principle for later generations, which is enough for Yun Zheng to be satisfied with his teachings. Of course, military discipline also plays a huge role in the cultivation of will. However, the Yun family army has been fighting all year round and is very good at maintaining military discipline.
The Yingyang Guards discipline enacted by Yunzheng is stricter, so Yunzheng is more relieved about this.
Yun Zheng was also very concerned about the quality of the equipment. At the beginning, Li Shimin said, why is his Tang army so powerful? Leaving aside the famous commanders and generals, the most fundamental point is that it is easier to win battles if the armor is strong and the army is strong, and the more battles are won, the more the battles are won.
The morale will rise, which will make it easier to win the battle, thus creating a virtuous circle. The current equipment of the Ying Yang Guard under Yun Zheng is actually not particularly good.
Wei must be at a disadvantage. This is something that is relatively uncontrollable, but Yun Zheng is still very concerned about it. What he is particularly thinking about now is Dongfang Wuqing's hand crossbow. I have to explain here that the so-called repeating hand crossbow is not
The last time I was able to shoot several arrows with one shot, it was because Dongfang Wuqing improved the arrow supply device, so that to fire several consecutive arrows, I only need to pull the crossbow string, instead of having to load the crossbow arrows. At the same time, it is easier to pull the crossbow string.
In operation, an ordinary cavalry hand crossbow, according to the time calculation method of later generations, can fire at most three to four rounds per minute, while Dongfang Wuqing's improved version of the repeating hand crossbow can reach about ten rounds. This is a huge improvement, but given that
The hand crossbow is complicated to manufacture, making it very difficult to equip it on a large scale. Yunzheng has already sent two letters to Dongfang Wuqing through Nangong Wuyu, hoping that she will continue to improve, so that she does not need to improve the efficiency of the single crossbow, but spends her energy on convenience.
Yunzheng believes that Dongfang Wuqing, a talented arms designer, can solve this problem better.
Logistics support was not as important in ancient battles as it was in later generations. It is true that "before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first", but it is only food and grass, unlike later generations where there are countless ammunition, medicines, etc.
Eighth food is not as particular as that of later generations. For example, the US military in World War II was tired of eating canned meat and clamored to improve the food. In ancient times, you could laugh with a mouthful of batter. How much meat do you expect?
Are you feeling sleepy? Of course, although there is basically only one item of food and grass, it was not an easy task for ancient times to transport a cart of grain and grass to the frontline battlefield. Most people spent more than five cars of grain and grass, and many
It even cost eight vehicles - this does not count the thousand-mile expedition such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Korea. Fortunately, Yunzheng did not have to consider this issue this time. After all, this was just an exercise. The "fully armed" soldiers included five
days of rations, and the food and grass after arriving in Hai'an County will be transported by the armies in advance
The last thing is speed. Yun Zheng attaches great importance to speed, which is probably the highest value in this era. As a World War II enthusiast, although his understanding of various weapons can only be regarded as a pseudo-military fan, he still knows about the most famous blitzkrieg.
The essence of the blitzkrieg proposed by Guderian is: "Use a fast mechanized offensive force with strong assault and maneuverability capabilities to assemble a large number of combat aircraft and highly mechanized heavy artillery to provide rapid and intense fire support to the armored forces."
, forming an indestructible assault force, and producing a frightening shock, causing the enemy to lose their fighting spirit in shock, causing the enemy to collapse instead of completely annihilating the enemy forces, and the follow-up troops will complete the clearing and rout of the enemy forces."
In fact, the essence is three words: fast, accurate, ruthless! Fast: infantry, artillery and other all motorized accurate: well-trained, all arms units have radio communication facilities to ensure high-quality coordinated operations ruthless: tank troops are independently organized,
Used to break through key points and form a large-scale and deep roundabout encirclement
Changing to the ancient state, Yun Zheng believes that infantry is still infantry that can be imitated to a certain extent, but the march speed is much faster; well-trained and multi-arms joint operations need to be practiced more, so that the entire army can be as Yun Yi said "like
There are no tanks now, but the Yun family army has cavalry. Although it is not equipped with Yingyangwei due to some well-known reasons, it will definitely be equipped with cavalry in the future, so that the cavalry can be regarded as
Tanks are used to break through key areas point by point, and then quickly intersperse and detour to surround the enemy in great depth, causing the morale and morale of the army to quickly collapse. But these all have a prerequisite, that is, the infantry must march fast. If the infantry walks too slowly,
, the cavalry has completed its detour, and your infantry has not followed to surround you, it will be like a cat in a bullpen.
Yun Zheng is not the only one who cares about the so-called military speed. Yun Zheng just pays more attention to this point than others. In fact, ancient times also had high requirements for the speed of the army, such as the requirements for Wei soldiers during the Warring States Period:
"Wear armor of three attributes, wield a crossbow of twelve stones, bear fifty arrows, put a spear on it, carry a crown and a sword, win three days of food, and march hundreds of miles at noon." That is to say, wearing heavy armor and being fully armed
, with three days of rations, we have to march a hundred miles every day before noon. Of course, the ruler during the Warring States period was about one-third shorter than the current Wei Dynasty. The hundred miles in the Warring States period was more than sixty miles in the Wei Dynasty.
inside
So what was the marching speed of the peasant soldiers in Chinese history? We all know that the direct cause of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising was that it rained heavily and the marching speed was not enough to reach the garrison as scheduled. So what was the speed of these peasant troops who were temporarily recruited in the Chu area?
How much exactly is it? In July, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising in Daze Township (southeast of today's Suzhou City, Anhui Province) and occupied Chen County (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province). Within a month, his general Zhou Wen (from Chen County) fought near Lishan from Chen County to
The straight-line distance of Lishan Mountain is 1,440 miles (I measured it on a 1:18 million map, just for rough reference). If you count thirty days and months, the average is 48 miles per day. In fact, it was impossible to walk in a straight line at that time (it was impossible to ignore the middle
(Flying straight from the sky to the high mountains, rivers and lakes)) Therefore, in fact, the marching route is still tortuous, so the actual distance should be about twice this distance. In this way, the actual speed should be about a hundred miles per day, and this speed is not conventional.
Marching, but attacking and advancing, the actual marching speed may be higher. We don't know whether the troops of Zhang Chu's regime are purely cavalry or chariot troops. But judging from the fact that they are peasant troops, infantry should account for the majority. This marching speed is not unique.
For example, during the Battle of Huayang, Bai Qi led his army to march 800 miles in 8 days, which averaged a hundred miles per day. When converted, it should be about 60-70 miles per day today.
When Sima Yi attacked Mengda, Mengda thought that Shangyong, where he was entrenched, was 1,200 miles away from Wancheng (now Nanyang, Henan Province) where Sima Yi was stationed, so he didn't take it seriously. As a result, Sima Yi led his troops and arrived in Wancheng (now Nanyang, Henan Province) in eight days.
The straight-line distance from present-day Nanyang, Henan) to Shangyong (southwest of present-day Zhushan County, Hubei) is about 252 kilometers, which is equivalent to 500 Chinese miles. One Hanli is about 416 meters, so 252 kilometers is about 605 Chinese miles. Since the road cannot be a straight line, plus
Based on various terrain factors, the actual distance should be calculated as two to three times. Meng Da's "Go to me 1,200 miles" is exactly twice the actual marching distance, which should be converted into huali, which is 1,000 huali for an eight-day march.
1,000 miles, an average of 125 miles per day. Of course, the book said that Sima Yi was "doubling the road at the same time." Even so, the speed of not "doubling the road" was half of this speed, and there were still 62-63 miles a day.
The pure cavalry troops were faster. Huo Qubing went out to conquer the Xiongnu. He fought all the way for six days and passed Yanzhi Mountain for more than a thousand miles. They joined forces in short distance and went down to Gaolan. They killed King Zhelan and King Luhou. The brave ones were killed.
The whole armor captured Chou, holding the Hunxie prince and the Prime Minister, the captain, and the first prisoner level 8,960. He collected the Xiu massacre and offered sacrifices to the Tianjin people. "The attack progressed thousands of miles in six days, with an average of 167 Hanli per day, which is quite
At present, it is 112 miles per day
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty were mainly infantry, but the weight of the armor they wore was much higher than that of the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. Generally speaking, those who can insist on marching sixty miles a day can be regarded as qualified sixty miles a day.
The speed was really far behind the magic soldiers who flew to capture the Luding Bridge. The Fourth Red Regiment marched 120 kilometers in 24 hours, which is 240 miles. The 240 miles of road winded through the mountains and canyons on the banks of the Dadu River.
Most of them are surrounded by cliffs and high mountains on one side and vicious tumbling rapids on the other. Walking on the narrow path makes people dizzy. What is even more difficult to walk are the plank roads cut out of the cliffs and the steep and difficult-to-climb stone stairs.
The mountainside is covered with snow all year round. Walking in the middle, the cold is overwhelming, but I am surprised that I can do it. It is truly the king of infantry marches. It is absolutely iron-footed and the food conditions of Ying Yangwei are very good. Compared with the Red Army, it is definitely better.
There is a huge difference, but the speed is still not as fast as theirs. This can only be said that the power of faith is really invincible sometimes.
However, compared to the Red Army, compared to the current Wei Dynasty or any other army in the world, Yun Zheng was absolutely confident. He glanced at Qin Chong with a smile and asked: "What do you mean by Xiang Qian?
