I want to be emperor

Chapter 75 Garrison
In this exercise of Baoxiangying, all tactical actions were arranged in advance.

At the beginning of the battle, it was assumed that the enemy took the initiative to attack, and then was intensively killed by the artillery, bows, and muskets of one's own side. After being intercepted by the powerful firepower of one's own infantry, the enemy's offensive momentum was hindered. The confusion of the enemy formation.

In the end, the infantry moved and completely overwhelmed the enemy, and the cavalry attacked again to charge and harvest heads.

In this process, each unit needs to conduct tactical maneuvers strictly according to the plan.

You want to talk about why the enemy didn't have long-barreled artillery, and launched shelling at the infantry formation of the Baoxiang Battalion, why the enemy would stupidly attack forward, and why the cavalry of our own side was not intercepted by the enemy cavalry when they attacked twice.

Exercise Well, how can there be so many reasons.

If so many are really needed, this exercise can't be done, and a special confrontation exercise has to be held.

But the confrontation exercise is not the goal of today's exercise. The purpose of today's Baoxiangying exercise is to test the recent training results of various troops.

See if they can accurately execute various tactical actions according to the order.

Whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of firearms, for an army, whether the formation is tight and whether it can execute various tactical actions according to orders is very important, and even the basis of combat effectiveness.

No, after watching the exercise, Luo Zhixue at the front said to Er Yongduo, the deputy cavalry sentry officer who also served as the chief of the staff department: "This time the exercise is considered a success. It can be seen that the training of each department has worked hard."

Although today's exercise looked quite satisfactory, Luo Zhixue was very satisfied, because he saw that the formation changes of the various troops were very smooth, and there were no messy situations, which was already very good.

After all, most of the soldiers in the various ministries of the Baoxiang Battalion, except for the rebel officers and soldiers, old thieves, and surrendered officers and soldiers, were recruits newly recruited in recent months.

The longest training for these recruits was only about three months, and the shortest was only one month.

To tell the truth, it is relatively difficult for these recruits who have not been trained for a long time to list a standard formation according to the order and follow their comrades in tactical maneuvers.

After all, people these days are not the modern people of the later generations. The modern people of the later generations will have the experience of queuing up in physical education classes, inter-class exercises and other occasions since they were young. Not unfamiliar, even familiar.

But these recruits in Baoxiang Battalion have never had the concept of lining up since they were young, and many of them even didn't distinguish between left and right.

In order to allow them to line up quickly, Xiazi Wang and An Yongduo used whips directly when they trained in the early days.

When someone ordered to turn left, someone made a wrong turn and turned right, or simply didn't move, and just whipped him down without saying a word.

When queuing up, advance three steps, some people take two steps or four steps, needless to say, they will be whipped down immediately.

After the fight is over, there will often be follow-up punishments, which are of a continuous nature. If a soldier makes a mistake, his team and even his team will be punished.

Under various high pressures, these recruits were forced to distinguish between left and right in the shortest possible time and learned to obey orders.

During this process, there were actually a small number of people who couldn't stand it and clamored that they would not serve as soldiers and wanted to quit. Often these people would be regarded as deserters and thrown directly into the prisoner-of-war camp as coolies. It was cut with a knife.

After taking the Anjia food from Baoxiangying, and eating their three meals a day, they can't stand the hardship and want to quit?
There is nothing so good in this world.

Luo Zhixue and the others didn't come to open a philanthropic hall!
It took Luo Zhixue and the others a lot of effort to allow these recruits to distinguish between left and right, and to know how to follow orders and perform basic tactical actions.

"We will continue to strengthen formation training in the future, and we must ensure that no matter what the circumstances, all departments can perform various tactical actions according to orders."

Luo Zhixue continued to emphasize to An Yongduo beside him: "No matter what tactics or weapons are used, obeying orders is always the most important goal."

Ernst and Young nodded and said: "The subordinates understand that they will continue to formulate relevant training plans in the future."

After cavalry sentry Wang Xiazi, artillery sentry Zhang Chenglin, and five infantry sentry sentries who led the exercise arrived one after another, Luo Zhixue also ordered these people one by one, emphasizing the importance of formation and discipline.

Especially Huang Dingquan, the fifth sentry officer, emphasized the importance of formation.

"The tactics of the fifth post are different from those of the other posts. You use musketeers on a large scale. When changing formations, you must consider the use of musketeers, and it will also test the integrity of the formation. These aspects You have to work harder."

Huang Dingquan nodded cautiously after hearing this.

He, Huang Dingquan, has no culture, not even a veteran. He used to be just an ordinary farmer, and his best thing was farming.

After joining the Rural Protection Camp, he was valued by Luo Zhixue because of his hard work, high obedience to orders, and his lack of rigidity in doing things, and he was promoted to the fifth sentry officer all the way.

However, although he became the sentry officer of the fifth sentry, he still didn't know much about how to lead troops, how to train troops to fight, tactics and tactics.

Even in the past few months, he has been learning from old thieves from the rebel army such as Wang Xiazi, but to be honest, he still doesn't understand many things, especially in terms of tactics.

For example, the new tactics used by the fifth whistle now, he also trains according to the method Luo Zhixue gave him, but why he trains like this, he still doesn't understand...

He just followed the scriptures and trained according to the method Luo Zhixue gave him.

However, this is actually the reason why Luo Zhixue chose him as the fifth sentry officer. It is because this person does not have much self-thinking, and will simply train according to the tactics Luo Zhixue gave him, and will not think about changing midway. .

Luo Zhixue attaches great importance to the fifth post. He hopes to use this new infantry post to experiment with new tactics and cultivate a group of grassroots officers who know how to use new tactics, laying the foundation for the subsequent large-scale use of new tactics.

To some extent, the current fifth post is the teaching post in the Baoxiang camp.

So Luo Zhixue doesn't need, and doesn't want others to compare too many things blindly during the training process of the fifth post.

After the exercise, Luo Zhixue took his own soldiers and left to do other things, and the officers also took the troops back to the barracks, or went to their new station.

Taking advantage of this exercise, Luo Zhixue simply rotated the garrison of each unit.

After the rotation, there are three main directions for the Baoxiangying to be stationed, one is in the direction of Songshan, the other is in the direction of Sanshui Village, and the other is in the direction of Niulu Village in the east.

The defense line of Songshan Village will be garrisoned by Zhang Chenglin's artillery post, Lin Dongsheng's first post, and Wang Dazhuang's second post.

There is also an infantry post in Songshan Village, which is Huang Dingquan's fifth post, Wang Xiazi's cavalry post, and the newly established, temporarily understaffed and no chief officer's supply post is stationed.

The above two places can actually be regarded as one, because Songshan Village is only four miles away from the Songshan Defense Line, and if you are young and strong on foot, you can get there in two quarters of an hour.

The third sentinel to which Xu He belonged was sent to the village of Niulu Village on the east side of Dashan Mountain for garrison. Niulu Village itself is just an ordinary village, but it guards a small path leading to the mountain from the eastern outskirts. The other trail, roughly in the northeast direction, is not far from Niulu Village, so it can barely be regarded as a strategic location.

Putting a sentry here can monitor and defend the two east mountain trails at the same time.

The remaining fourth post was sent to Sanshui Village in the northern part of the mountain for garrison. Sanshui Village itself is located in the northern part of the mountain, and it can also monitor the movement of a small trail in the north. In addition, it can also control some villages in the north. .

It can also be seen from this deployment that Luo Zhixue has shifted his focus to Songshan Village.

The total strength of troops in other directions is only two posts, and it is necessary to disperse the garrison, monitor the trails, intercept the enemy's small-scale enemy troops, and at the same time need to suppress the villages within the defense zone.

However, in Songshan Village and the Songshan defense line, there are three infantry posts, one cavalry post, one artillery post, and an understaffed supply post. Together with Luo Zhixue's personal troops, the total strength has reached 600. .

Moreover, a new recruit training camp has been set up in Songshan Village, and there are still more than 100 people in it currently undergoing recruit training.

The rural protection battalion began in the early expansion of Sun Jian's era. The expansion mode is very simple to eliminate violence, and each department recruits recruits and trains them.

After such a period of expansion, Luo Zhixue found that the efficiency of this expansion training method was too low, and more importantly, the quality of training could not be guaranteed, and there were huge risks hidden.

The low efficiency and the inability to guarantee the quality of training are due to the fact that the levels of recruits trained by each department are different. Some train better, while others do not. Grass-roots officers with relatively high levels of training in the village were drawn out and asked to take part-time jobs in the new barracks as recruit instructors.

As for the risk!
Just look at the supply battalion under Luo Zhixue himself before.

In the beginning, there were only a few people in the supply battalion. Later, Sun Jiancheng asked Luo Zhixue to recruit recruits to expand on his own. In the first batch, Sun Jiancheng was watching, so only 30 people were recruited, and in the second batch, only 30 people were recruited.

However, when Sun Jiancheng led the army to attract the Ming army to go west, Luo Zhixue quietly recruited troops on his own, expanding the size of the supply camp to a hundred people.

Later, dozens of people were recruited from the defected prisoners of Tatianhu's subordinates. In the first Songshan battle, some young and strong were urgently recruited to supplement them, and some of the outstanding ones were directly included in the supply camp. inside.

When Sun Jiancheng led the army out of the mountain, Luo Zhixue had only about 200 troops under his command, but when Sun Jiancheng returned from leading the army, the number of troops under Luo Zhixue's control had reached more than [-].

If it was said that Sun Chengli hadn't died of illness, maybe he would have had a problem with Luo Zhixue, and all kinds of precautions came.

When Luo Zhixue did this at the beginning, he naturally didn't want the people under him to follow suit and follow his example.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, he directly finalized the rated establishment of each department, and started unified recruitment training, and added recruits to each department after the training was completed.

To prevent the generals under his command from recruiting and expanding their own troops, if they are not careful, they will come out with thousands of troops to scare him...
