Chapter 516 Reorganization of the Horse Infantry Army, Expansion of the New Army
After Han Shizhong made the decision to join the gang, all the leaders who were very close to him were very happy. At that time, the gangsters brought dozens of jars of strong liquor straight to the main hall of Baozhu Temple, and many green forest heroes frequently came to the banquet.
Offer him a toast.
Now that he had nothing else to worry about, Han Shizhong, who was so relaxed, didn't notice anything. He was even more heroic and behaved like a reckless man. He slapped off the yellow mud that sealed the mouth of the liquor jar and stepped on it.
On the bench, whenever Han Shizhong came to pay homage to him, he would have to take a big sip. After a while, the jar of strong liquor had reached the bottom.
After a few rounds of drinking, Han Shizhong was shouting vulgar slang, patting his chest and talking about brotherly loyalty. He was already drunk and suddenly staggered and stumbled in front of a wine table. People always have thoughts in their heads after drinking too much.
He could not help but have many thoughts and emotions in his heart. The same was true for Han Shizhong. At this time, his face turned red after drinking but showed a look of sadness, and he couldn't help but sing loudly:
"First take the twelve prefectures of Shanxi, and other elements will attack the Yatou. Looking back, Qin's fortress is as low as a horse, and gradually we can see that the Yellow River flows straight north.
The power of heaven rolls over the earth and crosses the Yellow River, and the Qiang people from thousands of miles away sing the songs of the Han Dynasty. Mo Yan crosses the mountains and rivers flow backwards, going from Jiaoxi to the west to make waves.
The horse-tailed huqin accompanies the Han chariot, and the music sounds like a self-pity Chanyu. Don’t bend your bow to shoot at the geese in the clouds. The returning geese don’t write down books now.
The flag team is like a heap of brocades, with silver uniforms and tall flags on their backs. We will teach you how to clean and sweep Anxi Road first, and then wait for the horses to drink from the source of the river.
Lingwu Xiliang does not need to be surrounded, the Fan family always welcomes Wang Shi. Half of the city is from Guanxi, and there are still some people who eat at that time..."
People's emotions can sometimes be very strange. Han Shizhong was struggling in the military. He thought that he would never achieve anything in his life, so he chose to join forces with Xiao Tang and other heroes. However, even if he knew that he would never turn back when he fired his bow, it was just
Recalling the turbulent years of the bloody battle in the side court, Han Shizhong still couldn't help but feel sad and sighing.
This song was written by Shen Kuo, the father-in-law of Mengxi, the author of "Mengxi Bi Tan", a collection of the scientific achievements of the previous dynasties. In order to fight against the intrusion of the Xia people, the Song Dynasty sent 500,000 to attack the Xixia Kingdom during the Yuanfeng period.
The "Triumph Song", which was sung in the military to inspire the morale of the Western Army soldiers, is still a familiar military song to soldiers marching in the Kansai region. Lu Zhishen, who was also born in the Western Army, can understand Han Shizhong's thoughts.
He had also changed from his usual bold and unruly demeanor, and was silent and thoughtful for a moment.
Xiao Tang also knew very well that real heroes of flesh and blood like Lu Zhishen and Han Shizhong were unforgettable and proud of their past years of iron-blooded military fighting. But Xiao Tang also believed that these brothers would eventually die.
You will understand that as you march through Liaodong and develop the Green Forest Rebel Army, until the Jin Kingdom sends its troops south, they will definitely not have their passion and ambition of soldiers to protect their homes and country...
After a day's rest, Xiao Tang summoned Xu Guanzhong, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and other brothers to discuss the matter of reorganizing the troops and setting up camps in the two mountains of Qingzhou. After all, after returning to Song Dynasty from Pingzhou of Liao State, there were Han Shizhong, Qin Dynasty and others.
Ming Dynasty, Huang Xin, Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui, Yu Baosi, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong and other brothers joined the uprising. Officers and soldiers from the Dezhou Military Division who were willing to follow the two generals of water and fire, as well as people from all over Hebei and Shandong, came to join the uprising.
The bravery and strength also need to replenish the original troops that have been damaged by twists and turns, and select people to form new battalions.
The camp organization of the Shanzhai people and horses is still based on the capital, battalion, and army levels of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty. However, usually one battalion of the official infantry army has about five hundred people from five capitals, and the horse army usually has three or four hundred cavalry in one battalion.
The new camps reorganized in both mountains ranged from 1,000 to 1,500 people.
And although it is divided into cavalry and infantry camps, usually in an infantry camp, there will be at least one cavalry envoy commanding about three hundred cavalry; the horse camp will depend on the selection of the general and the role played in the battle.
Depending on the combat style of the commander of each cavalry battalion, he is mainly responsible for the new battalion that focuses on the role of the cavalry unit in war, such as ranger sentries, sudden cavalry charges, pursuit, or flanking. All soldiers under his command are proportional to each other.
One, or even one to two ratios are equipped with war horses, and the number of people in the establishment is about a thousand. Some horse military camps, in addition to bows, horses and light cavalry, also include at least five hundred people in the form of crossbowmen, sword and shield bearers or
They are spearmen, with a total battalion of 1,500 to 2,000 men.
After all, although the cavalry is far superior to the infantry in terms of impact, mobility, etc., the limitations of a single arm are still too great. Only by rationally deploying light and heavy infantry and cavalry and other arms on the ever-changing battlefield can we more fully respond to various battle situations.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty has always lacked war horses. Under the general environment, it was more unique in using troop formations, strong bows and crossbows, and city wall fortifications. Before Xiao Tang felt that he had the energy and necessity to form a force of armored heavy cavalry,
, if you want to form a troop with several battalions, all of which are mounted on archers and horses, it would be better to focus on developing and strengthening the northern nomadic tribes currently led by leaders such as Shi Yi La Cheng, Kou Zhen Yuan, and Tian Shan Yong in Baozhou.
, according to their living habits and fighting styles, those tribes in the North were born to do this.
Another day later, Xiao Tang finally finalized matters such as appointing his new brothers in the Green Forest Village to hold such positions, and reorganizing the new battalion plan. After lunch, Xiao Tang summoned all his confidants.
The brothers all went to the main hall of Baozhu Temple.
After Xiao Tang encouraged him again, he first ordered Xu Guanzhong to issue an order: Xi Sheng, the pharmacist, Yuan Lang, the red-faced tiger, Yuan, the black-thunder tiger, Shizhong, the five-Han Pohan, Teng Kan, the descending tiger, Teng Si, the food-loving tiger, and Teng Si, the white-haired tiger horse.

They replaced the two leaders Ou Peng and Ma Lin and returned to Erlong Mountain. Immediately,
He also announced aloud the assignment of new posts to the leaders of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain:
