The moonlight shone in the sky outside the forest, and it was already midnight. Lin Fu used the moonlight to talk to Zhao Hu and Zhou Pu in the woods of Prison Island, discussing the training of soldiers and guards.
The one hundred and fifty Xiangyong who were newly recruited into the Jiyunshe Military Guard have temporarily settled down, and the reorganization will begin tomorrow. Zhao Hu is an old man from the Shanglinli Township Camp and is very familiar with the situation of the Xiangyong. Besides, the Zhuxiangyong's relationship with Lin Fu
I am also sincerely convinced, and the reorganization with only 150 people is not difficult at all.
Lin Fu decided to implement the new formation method of "three corps" among the newly formed soldiers and guards, and subdivided the original team with the "flag leader" into three combat groups.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "formation" and "five pawns forming a team". The new formation method does not seem to be an improvement on the "fifteen pawns" formation method. It can even be said to be a setback.
In contemporary armies, the "Fifteen Soldiers" formation method means that each small group of soldiers is equipped with a single weapon. Either they all hold spears and form a spear formation, or they all hold swords and shields and form a sword and shield formation, or they all hold Mo knives and form a spear formation.
The very powerful Mo Dao Formation either holds long bows or powerful crossbows and forms a crossbow formation. Four small groups form a large group, and ten large groups form a battalion. Usually the soldiers in a battalion are of a single type.
Because they all adopt the formation of soldiers of a single type on a large scale, current combat requires higher requirements for array arrangement and array density.
Since the coordination of arms in the array is usually based on battalions or brigades, once the array cannot withstand the impact of the enemy and the formation collapses, and the master and adversary cannot effectively control the array, it usually means defeat.
Even if morale is available, it is difficult for a small, single-arms unit to persist for a long time in a disadvantaged close-quarters hand-to-hand combat on a complex battlefield due to the lack of flexible enough tactics.
In fact, the new formation method that Lin Fu wants to implement is fundamentally different from the traditional one. In addition to dividing the fifteen-soldier squad into three combat groups, the most fundamental change is to abandon the traditional military approach of equipping the entire squad of soldiers with a single weapon and adopt
The new principle of weaponry is to complement the long and short, and to balance the near and far.
Taking into account the characteristics of cold weapon warfare, the new formation method consists of five soldiers, one holding a large sword, one holding a spear with a sharp tip, a bamboo spear nearly ten feet long, two holding a sword and shield, and one holding a crossbow.
The person holding the Damo Dao or the Long Bamboo Spear should be a strong person. The one with stronger tactical skills among the two should be the leader of the five soldiers. The two should be in the middle, with the spear slightly forward, and stab with the long spear that is nearly one foot long.
Attack the current enemy and cover the attack of Mo Dao Shou and Sword Shield Man. Both of them wear armor and have incomplete armor. Priority is given to Mo Dao Shou. In close-quarters combat, Mo Dao Shou is the core combat force. Two people hold swords and shields and protect them.
Guard the two wings of the soldier's head (or soldier leader). Before engaging in battle, they use shields and long shields to block the enemy's heavy arrows and spears. If possible, they can wear armor. One person holding a bow and crossbow is placed behind the side. Usually, he does not wear armor, but changes to it in close combat.
Hold a single sword or a spear.
The hacking technique improved by Lin Fu with the help of Zhou Pu is also suitable for the daily training of soldiers in the new formation method.
Lin Fu wanted to directly copy the Yuanyang Formation method of the later Qi Jiguang, but the Yuanyang Formation consisted of twelve people, which was difficult to be compatible with the contemporary "fifteen soldiers" formation method. Besides, there was a time difference of hundreds of years, and the war environment and conditions were also different.
There was such a big difference that Lin Fu had to give up the idea of plagiarizing directly and improve and adjust it himself.
Since we have been training new soldiers and guards on the island for nearly two months, we are relatively confident that small-scale armies will use the new formation method to fight. However, there is no actual drill on whether the new formation method is suitable for large-scale battles.
conditions, and lack of actual combat testing.
Lin Fu, Zhao Hu, and Zhou Pu were discussing in the forest many details of the new formation method and equipment matters for tomorrow's reorganization of Xiangyong.
There are relatively strict restrictions on the preparation of rural warriors and armor. These rural warriors who need to be reorganized were all reunited after the rural camp was attacked and collapsed. A lot of soldiers and armor were lost, making them even more rudimentary.
Lin Fu and the others obtained more than 80 pairs of armors by fishing in the troubled waters of Luoma Lake this time. In addition to sending them to Changshan Island, they can also take out 30 pairs of high-quality combined armors or combined armors to strengthen their equipment. Lin Fu fell.
It is not that Changshan Island is given priority in everything. If he puts on armor for each of these local warriors, how can he not arouse suspicion in the eyes of others?
Although the name Donghai Hu Tanzong was originally erected on Changshan Island, there is no unreasonable loyalty in this world. In addition to the prestige and trust that Lin Fu has gradually established in everyone's hearts, there are many others.
factor.
If Changshan Island is strong and Jiangning is weak, even if Qin Chengzu and others are willing to sincerely serve Lin Fu as their leader, how can the people below, especially those who later defected to Changshan Island, be willing to do so?
Once the Jiangning side is strong and the Changshan Island side is weak, and everything depends on the Jiangning side and cannot be separated from each other, then it is natural to let the Jiangning side take the lead.
Nowadays, the force that Lin Fu can directly control, even if not counting the more than 50 elites led by the Great Loach Lord Ge Cunxin on the Dongyang, there are 180 prison guards and 180 military guards.
Although Lin Fu had absolute power on Prison Island at this time, neither Yang Shi nor Changsun Geng could check and balance Lin Fu, but the guards guarding the prison must be considered officers and soldiers after all. Unless under very special circumstances, Lin Fu could only
It can be used to guard the prison island and also take into account the defense of the river mouth.
Jiyunshe Wuwei is a private army completely controlled by Lin Fu.
There were thirty military guards sent to the island for training before, and the training lasted for two months, and they had some basic skills. The one hundred and fifty rural warriors who will be incorporated into the military guards this time have gained a lot of reputation due to the attention of the Lin family.
With strong combat effectiveness, reorganization using the new formation method, and a period of training, it is completely believed that in the near future this military guard will grow into an elite force that is rare in the world.
It has been more than a month since the little Loach Masters Ge Cunxiong and Chen Enze led nearly 60 boatmen and sailors to the Longjiang Shipyard for training. In two days, the two newly ordered Qianshi fast sailing ships after the Dongyang will be delivered.
.
Lin Fu decided to keep an eye on Prison Island in the two days before the delivery of the new ship and personally participate in the reorganization of the military guards.
It was getting late at night, and Lin Fu thought of going to the prison cell to take a look. Instead of letting Zhao Hu and Zhou Pu see him off, he took four guards and walked straight through the forest path to the west end of the island.
On the rock at the southwest end of the prison island stood a man with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance. Lin Fu used the moonlight to look over from a distance and discerned his figure. He was the assassin Ao Canghai who had been recovering on the prison island for more than a month.
Ao Canghai was originally the deputy commander of the forward battalion of Chen Zhihu's troops in the Eastern Fujian Army. He couldn't let go of his blood feud with the She family. When Chen Zhihu's troops were transferred to the imperial court on the way to central Shanxi, he abandoned his official position and fled, and organized people to assassinate She Feihu. Ao Canghai assassinated She Fei.
Hu was defeated twice, and out of the forty people, only he and a young man named Ao were still alive, but they were both seriously injured in the second assassination more than a month ago.
For more than a month, the two of them had been secretly hiding on Prison Island to recuperate under Lin Fu's care.
Ao Canghai also saw Lin Fu, got off Yashi, walked over, clasped his fists and greeted, "Sir, are you still on Prison Island so late?"
"You don't know when you are on the island, there are always a lot of things going on outside the island, and you always have to wait until this late to come and take a look," Lin Fu said with a smile, "Brother Ao didn't fall asleep either?"
Ao Canghai's physique is really strong. If someone else was injured, it would be a fatal injury. It only took him more than a month to recover vigorously.
"I have been thinking about a question these days, and I suddenly figured it out today," Ao Canghai said.
"oh."
"May I make a request to your lordship?"
"Come and listen to me. If I can do it, I won't refuse." Lin Fu said.
"The blood feud of the Ao clan is my own business. Yongkang is an orphan. His parents died young. Although he is also surnamed Ao, he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. When the Ao clan was exterminated in Jiaocheng, Yongkang was only fourteen years old.
I am a young man who has just been apprenticed to the Ao family caravan outside with me. Over the years, he has been fighting with me outside endlessly, and he has not even bothered to marry a wife. He originally had a future in the army, and he followed me without hesitation.
I fled to Jiangning to assassinate She Feihu. All I could think about was the blood feud of the Ao clan, and I never thought that it had nothing to do with Yongkang. But he paid so much for it, and he was not allowed to be tolerated by the She family or the court.
I want to beg you to arrange a place for Yongkang so that he can spend this life peacefully," Ao Canghai said.
"There is no peace and stability in this world," Lin Fu sighed, "I will try my best to arrange it."
When Lin Fu rescued the two, another person died on the spot. Ao Yongkang, a young man named Ao, was injured more seriously than Ao Canghai. Although Wu Yanqing tried his best to save his life, he could not completely heal his body.
Ao Yongkang's legs were hit hard by heavy weapons such as maces while riding a horse. No matter how advanced Wu Yanqing's medical skills were in treating bruises, he still had no ability to treat comminuted fractures. Ao Yongkang had been awake for a long time and had been recovering from his injuries for more than a month.
I couldn't get out of bed and walk around at all, and my legs were definitely disabled. My right hand was also severely injured and I couldn't lift heavy objects. I lost my sight in my left eye, and my internal organs also suffered strong blunt blows. After more than a month of careful nursing, I still coughed up blood from time to time.
If it were him, Wu Yanqing would most likely refuse to treat such serious internal and external injuries. It's not that Wu Yanqing is hard-hearted, it's just that such a serious injury wouldn't last long even if it took a lot of effort to save it, and it could happen at any time.
He may die from his injuries.
Ao Canghai bent his knees and knelt down to Lin Fu: "Canghai owes you three lives. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this life. Now I think about it. As long as you don't mind that Canghai is followed by a nameless person, Canghai is willing to provide for you."
Drive to repay one or two."
"You don't need to be like this," Lin Fu stretched out his hand to lift Ao Canghai up from the ground and said, "It's good for you to forget your family feud for the time being. Although you can know many things happening outside the island from the Tang newspaper transcripts on the island,
But there are many things hidden in the depths that are unknown to the public. In the Hongzepu Liu An'er Rebellion, I am 80% sure that the She family was secretly involved and supported it; now that the East China Sea bandits have gathered and invaded on a large scale in Changguo County (Zhoushan Islands), we
They were worried that the She family would use Changguo County Island as a base to integrate the East China Sea bandit forces, and then invade Mingzhou, Jiahang, and Pingjiang prefectures on a large scale, thereby completely weakening the power of the imperial court. If the imperial court could restore order, it would naturally clean up the She family;
If the situation continues to be so chaotic and out of control, the She family's own ambitions will destroy them. In as short as three to five years, as long as ten or twenty years, the power of the She family will be weakened. If you never have the desire for revenge,
If you want to rest, you might as well be more patient and endure this period of time. If you really assassinated She Feihu, you can't just avenge your family's blood. I can send you and Yongkang to an overseas island..."
"I also want to understand that one day the She family will always be weak and weak. Your Majesty also said that your Majesty and the She family will not be on the same side. I believe your words," Ao Canghai insisted on kneeling in front of Lin Fu. "I have been here for more than a month.
, just recuperate on Prison Island, and take a look at the mouth of the river if you have nothing to do. I think your ambition will not be limited to Prison Island. These two small places at the mouth of the river are definitely not heroic people who are willing to be inferior to others for a long time. If
Unfortunately, Canghai died for you. I only hope that you can remember that more than 300 members of Canghai's family died under the She family's sword."
"..." Lin Fu thought to himself that Ao Canghai has a really unique vision. He naturally wanted to take Ao Canghai for his own use. He has a strong temper. Once he joins him, there is no need to worry about his recurrence. He can be used for everything without worry.
, but precisely because of his strong temper, Lin Fu was worried that he would fail him in avenging the blood feud for the Ao family in the future. He frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I have my own principles in doing things. The Marquis of Jin'an and his son said...
For their own selfish reasons, people have made waves in the southeast and caused military disasters. Not only your Ao family, but also the soldiers and civilians from the southeast counties who died in the East Fujian War totaled hundreds of thousands. At this time, Luxury
They are behind the Liu An'er rebellion in Hongzepu, which has involved hundreds of thousands of people in Haozhou, Dongyang, and Huai'an prefectures, as well as hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded in the three prefectures. People in coastal prefectures are also likely to be attacked by the East China Sea bandits.
A large-scale invasion. Such self-righteous people, who use the world as a chess piece and pursue their own selfish desires, cannot be tolerated by the heavens. If I have the opportunity to add insult to injury, I will never miss it. This is why I saved you twice. But
I do not agree with unbridled revenge. If a perfunctory friendship with the She family is more conducive to the society, people's livelihood, family power, and others, I will not hesitate to have a perfunctory relationship with the She family."
"Because Canghai has no worries and no nostalgia, he decided to assassinate regardless of life and death," Ao Canghai knelt on the ground and said, "Canghai is really driven by the Lord. What the Lord said, Canghai also wants to understand..."
"Then just stay with me and work..." Lin Fu helped Ao Canghai up.
