In the second year of Guanghua, the first month after Li Chengzhong traveled through time, the old commander Liu Rengong led his army to march south. At that time, when attacking Beicheng, the important town of Weibo, the Lulong Army fell into the trap of the Beizhou defenders to lure the enemy.
Thousands of soldiers from the Jianzu Battalion, who commanded Zhou Zhiyu, including Zhou Zhiyu, were trapped in the city and were about to die in a foreign land. Zhao Zaili, who was Zhou Zhiyu's personal guard, accompanied Zhou Zhiyu.
If Ren Dutou hadn't risked his life to attack the city and cover Li Chengzhong as he lowered the pulleys that tied the suspension bridge, Li Chengzhong would have been the first to die among the many time travellers. Ren Dutou was wounded dozens of times and was about to die.
It was impossible, but Zhou Zhiyu still tried his best to send him back to Youzhou. At that time, both Zhao Zaili and Li Chengzhong thought that this was just a matter of doing their best and obeying fate. No one expected that Ren Dutou could survive.
Ren Dutou recovered from his injuries at home for half a year, and finally managed to save his life, but his legs, feet and body bones were no longer flexible, and he could no longer eat the food of the military camp, so he could only use the capital saved in the government to open a business in Youzhou.
He opened a grain store to make a living.
The Ren family has been a general in the Lulong Army for hundreds of years. Although it is not a wealthy family in the military, and most of the family origins are middle and low-level officers, the martial arts heritage inherited over the past century is not unfounded. Ren Dutou's three sons have been learning martial arts since they were young.
Prepare to serve in the army again. In fact, this is also the fate of the old Ren family. Apart from joining the army, the children of the family really don’t know what they should do in the future. Even Ren Dutou opened his own grain store and rarely managed it carefully.
, if it were not for the care of a few old brothers with close connections in the army, the grain store would have closed down long ago.
As a few years passed, the three sons of the Ren family had gradually grown up, and Ren Dutou planned to let them join the army. However, the Ren family was born with pride, and Ren Dutou was unwilling to ask his old boss Zhou Zhiyu, and wanted his son to join the army.
They worked hard on their own. In the first year of Tianfu, Dalang turned sixteen. Just when Ren Dutou was preparing to let Dalang join the army, Liu Shouguang launched a mutiny. Liu Rengong, Zhou Zhiyu and other veteran generals all became prisoners of war.
Ren Dutou was very angry, so his father forcibly suppressed the dream of the eldest son of the Ren family to join the army. It was the second year of Tianfu. In this year, Li Chengzhong took control of Youzhou and became a dignified Fangjie Town. Ren Dutou
He couldn't help but beg Li Chengzhong, his former subordinate. Fortunately, things changed in Youzhou, and Ren Dutou's anger dissipated, so Dalang was able to successfully join the army.
At the end of the third year of Tianfu, Erlang Ren Sui'an also turned sixteen, so Ren Sui'an also applied to join the Youzhou recruit training camp. Later, he was selected by the newly established Zhaozhou Army and became a member of this cavalry army.
The above is Ren Sui'an's military experience. Zhao Zaili sighed for a long time after listening to it. Of course, Ren Sui'an did not know that his father knew His Highness King Yan, nor did he know what kind of relationship his father had with General Zhao in front of him. He heard that Zhao Zaili knew his father.
He quickly and respectfully called him uncle. Zhao Zaili was only seven years older than him, but judging from Ren Dutou, he was worthy of being his uncle.
Zhao Zaili guessed Ren Dutou's reluctance to cling to him. He didn't know much to say, so he just asked Ren Sui'an if he would like to join the Liaodong Security Army and work with him as a personal guard. Ren Sui'an thought about it for a while, but still didn't agree. He just said that he
He couldn't make the decision. Zhao Zaili told him not to worry about this problem, it was just to transfer someone. He, Zhao Zaili, could handle such a small matter without any problem. But Ren Sui'an still politely refused, saying that he still wanted to fight with real swords and guns to make a future. Here he is.
As a personal guard, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to perform meritorious service.
Zhao Zaili sighed that the old Ren family was really proud of each other, so he no longer forced it. He just asked for the Ren family's address in Youzhou and planned to visit it when he had time in the future.
Before dawn, Zhao Zaili led his army to leave. He was in a hurry to return to Bochang. Before leaving, he asked Ren Sui'an again if he would like to be his personal guard, but Ren Sui'an still did not agree.
Two brothers, Ren Sui'an and Ding Du, watched the large group of Liaodong Security Army cavalry set off towards the rising sun, and then continued to wait at the entrance of the village for the brothers from the Second Battalion of Zhaozhou Army Cavalry.
They didn't wait long. When the sun rose to the middle of the sky and the three of them were lying lazily on the grass chewing grass roots, the cavalry brothers who contacted them came back. They looked excited and rushed to show off their trip.
Harvest.
One hundred and thirty-nine levels were beheaded, twenty-four people were captured, and all the Xuanwu cavalry were annihilated, not a single one was missed!
This hearty victory made Ren Sui'an and the other three remaining cavalry envious. Ren Sui'an punched his left shoulder in annoyance, and the pain almost made him cry out - Damn shoulder injury!
It didn't take long for the Second Cavalry Battalion to return victorious. Cheers and joy filled the entire village. Ren Sui'an stared at the tied Xuanwu prisoners of war one by one, and at the heads hanging from the necks of the brothers' horses.
The annoyance in his heart was even worse. Of course, after being happy, Ren Sui'an also saw the cruelty of the war. Unlike killing enemy soldiers with his own hands, this cruelty gave him a very strong impact, causing his good mood to turn bad instantly.
Twenty-eight brothers died, including two in Ren Sui'an's group, one was the team leader, and the other was Zhao Shiqi. The bodies of the two brothers were not brought back and were buried on the spot. They are the only ones in this world.
All that was left was the epaulettes with their names embroidered on them. In addition to the dead brothers, there were more than thirty injured, of which a dozen were seriously injured. According to Dr. Wang, it was still unclear whether they could survive.
, even if they survive, they will say goodbye to the military from now on...
In any case, such a battle loss ratio is still quite good. Although the second cavalry battalion has the advantage in numbers, is well-equipped, and has the advantage of surprise attack, it can annihilate more than a hundred Xuanwu cavalry in one go.
It is a rare achievement since then. It is not that the Lu Long Cavalry cannot fight, but that it cannot find an opponent, or it cannot find such a large-scale Xuanwu Cavalry. The Xuanwu Army has always used the cavalry as scouts on the Ziqing battlefield, and it is rare to see them.
There were hundreds of people gathered, so this time the Second Cavalry Battalion was lucky.
When Commander Zhao was wondering whether this was the "first achievement" in the cavalry battle, Ren Sui'an poured out a basin of cold water on his eager thoughts - the Liaodong Security Army had just defeated the main force of the Xuanwu Cavalry three days ago, beheading 230 soldiers.
, captured one hundred and eighty people!
Commander Zhao was stunned. His first reaction was: Didn't the camp mean that Xuanwu didn't have that many cavalry? When did Xuanwu Cavalry of this size appear?
This news made the 2nd Cavalry Battalion a little depressed, and it also aroused too many questions among many officers and soldiers.
With prisoners of war and questions, the Second Cavalry Battalion embarked on the return journey. The return journey was the same as the return journey. The three routes were divided into the north, middle and south together and continued to search for fish that had slipped through the net. Sure enough, the facts confirmed Zhao Zaili's statement,
On the way back, they intercepted many of the defeated cavalry of the Xuanwu Army. In ten days, they captured more than thirty people in total!
Just after passing Gaoyuan and entering the absolute control circle of Bochang's camp, Commander Zhao was summoned back by a military order from the camp, leaving the second cavalry battalion to escort the prisoners of war and continue moving forward.
After returning to the camp, more people were sent from the camp to take away the prisoners of war and the captured horses. Except for the officers who wanted to report the battle in detail to the camp, the soldiers were allowed to rest for three days. They
He can move around on his own in the camp without getting up early for drills or performing military duties. However, Ren Sui'an himself cannot enjoy this rare time. He can only receive treatment in the medical camp. The dressing is changed every day and he lies down every day. He is not allowed to move around at will.
Ren Sui'an was really frustrated for several days.
Ren Sui'an lay in the medical camp for more than ten days and got to know many brothers from other battalions, including ordinary soldiers, junior officers, and a few senior officers. However, the officers were all in the special protection military tent, and Ren Sui'an had no chance to meet them.
However, there was a regular soldier living in Ren Sui'an's military tent. He was a member of the clan who commanded a certain battalion, and he knew some of the secrets of the military. After spending a few days together, Ren Sui'an formed a deep friendship with this man.
It is said that the General Administration of Military Staff is considering re-establishing the organization! This is a very attractive piece of news, which greatly interests Ren Sui'an. The consideration of re-establishing the organization comes from the test of actual combat. It is said that according to the current combat organization of the Lulong Army, it can cope with small-scale wars.
The ability is very strong, but the adaptability to big battles, especially frontal battlefield decisive battles, is not high.
The first army of the Lulong Army has two wings and an old camp. There are five battalions in one wing, with more than 6,400 people in the whole army, and more than 2,600 people in each wing. Such a scale is suitable for fighting against nomadic tribes and small countries with few people outside the pass.
The troops were suitable and achieved good results. But now the targets of the war were different. When facing the Xuanwu Army with a large number of soldiers, it was obvious that the troops were insufficient for use.
Especially at the level of establishment, there are more than 2,600 people in each wing. When they are deployed individually to perform small-scale military affairs, it seems a bit wasteful. However, when they are used to take on major tasks, they appear to have fewer troops and fewer generals, which makes them easy to suffer losses. This shortcoming
It was fully exposed during more than a year of actual combat testing in Bochang camp.
In fact, since the end of the third year of Tianfu, the Bochang camp has gradually stopped using the Xiang-level organization to perform military affairs. For small-scale battles, they mobilize the battalion most frequently. If the scale is slightly larger, they will mobilize two to three battalions, and even larger ones.
For large-scale duels, eight to twelve battalions are used. Senior officers at the level of commander have lost their fixed command authority, and their command authority has been compressed to two to three battalions. Larger-scale
Battles are directly commanded by higher-ranking officers appointed by the camp.
This situation intensified as the General Administration of Military Staff transferred various battalion heads to join the camp, until the Xiang-level establishment was almost abandoned in the Bochang camp.
The news that Ren Sui'an heard was that the General Administration had begun to convene a number of military meetings specifically on this, and it seemed that it was intended to add another level of establishment between the compartment and the battalion to meet the needs of large-scale operations, and at the same time avoid the situation where the military commander had to
The embarrassing situation of directly commanding the battalion, and the latter is prone to command confusion.
Ren Sui'an is very interested in this and also looks forward to it, because it means that the number and positions of officers will increase a lot - this is something that every soldier is looking forward to. Not to mention for the time being, these things have nothing to do with Ren Sui'an
, who calls him just a little soldier?
By September, Ren Sui'an's shoulder injury had completely recovered, and he returned to his second cavalry battalion. The group was promoted to a new corps commander with the rank of soldier, and a new soldier was added, making the group full again.
Ren Sui'an finally waited for his military merit - two levels of merit and a reward of five hundred, which was exactly what Ren Sui'an expected. The Lu Long Army's military merit rewards were very clear, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers knew clearly whether they would receive military merit.
How to obtain military exploits.
In addition to military exploits, Ren Sui'an also learned another good news - the Xuanwu Army has begun to train its own large-scale cavalry, which means that the second cavalry battalion's military affairs will be more frequent, and it also means that everyone can get more
Military merit.
Ren Sui'an thought this was good news, but Bochang Xingying did not think so. From the prisoners captured by the Liaodong Security Army and the Zhaozhou Army Cavalry Battalion, Bochang Xingying obtained information about the Xuanwu Army Cavalry, and after identifying the captured horses,
Bochang Xingying confirmed this information.
The war horses come from Longyou. The Xuanwu Army conquered Qinzhou last year and spent a lot of money to build a horse farm in Qinzhou. The war horses now on the Ziqing battlefield come from Qinzhou, and it is said that they have reached 500. Although these war horses are at most
In other words, it had not grown up yet for about ten months, but the Xuanwu Army couldn't wait any longer. They were very eager to pull the immature foal down on the battlefield. From this, we can also see the threat of Lu Longcavalry to the Xuanwu Army.
