Chapter 43 Changzhi Army Joining the Army (III)

Three years later

The fifth year of Jianyuan in the Han Dynasty

Yuzhang County

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers gathered here, with military flags waving, wheels flying, and horse hooves chaotic.

"Caval captain Wang Changzhi!"

"arrive!"

"Cabinet captain Zhang Cigong!"

"arrive!"

"Captain of the Cavalry..."

"arrive!"

...

In the army, Wang Hui's deputy general was naming the officers, checking whether the next level officers were present at the next level, checking whether the next level officers who belonged to him were present, and so on. Finally, the captain checked whether the soldiers in his team were present.

The sergeant and the sergeant were under a small number of people, and were only responsible for assisting the captain in command, and there was no next level that they needed to inspect, so the captain was the actual lowest level officer.

According to the number of people, the army is divided into five, ten, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, two thousand, and eight thousand.

There are commanders of the ranks, commanders of the teams, commanders of the ranks, commanders of the ranks, marquis of the ranks, marquis of the ranks, and lieutenants of the ranks, and above the ranks are the commanders and the deputy generals of the commanders.

In three years, many things have happened.

First, Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, passed away.

Then the emperor adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion and added the Book of Changes, Book of Songs, Book of Rites, and Five Classics of the Spring and Autumn Period to establish Confucianism as an official academic.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager passed away, and the emperor finally completely got rid of the constraints of the harem. Immediately afterwards, Tian Fu was appointed as prime minister.

After that, there was a military conflict between the Minyue Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom, and the Nanyue Kingdom requested the Han Dynasty to mediate.

This is also the reason why Wang Changzhi and others appeared in Yuzhang County.

They were Qimenlang of the Shanglinyuan Imperial Guards, and they were usually the emperor's personal soldiers. They could directly serve as officers when they entered the army during wartime.

"Brother Changzhi, I heard that Dongfang Shuo, who was recommended with us, has entered the Jinma Gate. It seems that he is going to be valued by His Majesty, but we have not even made up our military achievements. Alas..."

"Don't worry, military achievements will be achieved soon. This attack on the Minyue Kingdom is our opportunity to make achievements."

While the two were discussing, the messenger ordered the soldiers to hold military flags and ride fast horses to shuttle and shout among the various teams.

"Start! Go slowly!"

"Start! Go slowly!"

"Start! Go slowly!"

Then, the two saw a huge red panda-patterned military flag waving in the front.

This is the flag language of the army, similar to that of the Wang family in Liaodong. It should be said that the flag language of the Wang family in Liaodong is a direct replica of the Han flag language, but there are slight changes in some details.

Flag language is the knowledge that every officer and elite soldiers must learn. Otherwise, a team of tens of thousands of people, the lower-level officers will not hear the command of the commander at all. It is very likely that the commander will order the attack, but you will be retreating, and the commander will order the command to retreat, but you will be attacking, and the entire team will be completely in chaos.

Waving a panda-patterned military flag means "Start! Go slowly!". If you wave two panda-patterned military flags at the same time, it means "Start! Go quickly!". If you wave three panda-patterned red military flags, it means "Stop moving forward immediately".

In addition, there are various formations, dispersing formations, breaking through, gathering, resting, retaining the baggage to retreat, throwing the baggage to retreat, cavalry attack, archers attack, infantry attack, cover of a certain team, vanguards, and other military flags and flags.

At the same time, in order to ensure that some officers may be confused, and that some military orders are too complicated and cannot be expressed in military flags and flags, there must be special commanders, riding fast horses to shuttle between teams, conveying the commander's combat orders to the lower-level officers, and the lower-level officers continue to issue commander's military orders to the soldiers in the team they command.

Everyone has learned the military flag and flag language, so various officers have issued military orders to the soldiers in their team.

"Start! Go slowly!"

"Start! Go slowly!"

"Start! Go slowly!"

Wang Changzhi also conveyed the commander's military order to the cavalry team he commanded, and led them to move forward slowly.

The entire team, at the forefront, is the heavy armored cavalry vanguard, used to protect the central army, and at the last, is the heavy armored cavalry guard, which is also used to protect the central army. The head of the central army is where the command center of the entire team is. Once an attack is encountered, the entire army will be paralyzed.

On both sides of the central army are the cavalry captains who lead their own cavalry team to protect the two wings of the central army, and Wang Changzhi is one of them.

The core part of the central army is many teams separated according to the command of the officers. Each team has an officer's deputy who specially carries the flag of his own team to prevent the soldiers in his own team from falling apart or running to other teams.

Among these middle infantrymen were supplies trucks for transporting food and grass and passages specifically reserved for the commanders.

If the soldier runs around without authorization, the passage of military orders will be blocked, and the officers of his team will also be punished by the co-column system.

There were hundreds of scouts scattered around the entire team. These scouts were all elite among the elite. They would always follow the army and reconnaissance whether there were any enemy ambushing the place where the army was going to pass.

When marching in the Han Dynasty, in order to save energy, everyone marched lightly. When they were about to enter the enemy's territory, the commander would ask the soldiers to put on armor and march.

In addition to this army, there will be a logistics army that transports more food to the soldiers, often more than twice the number of troops.

"Report to the captain, I want a small answer!"

During the march, there was a cavalry soldier in Wang Changzhi's cavalry team who wanted to get rid of the enemy.

Wang Changzhi did not directly answer the soldier's request, but looked at the military flag at the forefront of the army.

I found a blue military flag with seven stars standing in front of me, which means that soldiers can solve the three urgent problems during the march, but they must return to their own team as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, marching within one's own territory will allow soldiers to solve the three urgent problems. Only when they are about to reach the enemy's territory will a military flag that represents the absolute prohibition of leaving the team.

Seeing the commander's military flag and flag words allow him, Wang Changzhi replied with confidence to the soldier who requested Xiaojie: "Go, remember to return to the team early, otherwise I will record you as a deserter."

"promise!"

The soldier was very happy. He had been holding it all the way. He had been embarrassed to mention it before. He was illiterate and could not understand the flag language. He didn't know whether he could leave the team now. If he was treated as a deserter, he would be done.

Every team is not wandering around. In the army, each team has a corresponding position of the team and cannot cross other teams. In the team, each soldier also has his own corresponding position and cannot march in other people's positions.

When the soldier went to Xiaojie, on the military order passage, a deputy general of the commander rode a fast horse to check the situation of each cavalry team. When he saw that a person was vacant from the cavalry team led by Wang Changzhi, he asked Wang Changzhi: "Why are there fewer people here?"

"Report to the general that he will go to Xiaojie and will come back later." Wang Changzhi answered truthfully.

"Yes." The deputy general nodded, and then rode his horse to continue patrolling the situation of other cavalry teams.

After a while, the deputy general came back. Seeing that there was still no one in Wang Changzhi's team, he scolded and said, "I will come back to inspect it later. If there are few people here, even if there is a deserter here, I will deal with you in accordance with military law!"

"promise!"

A cold sweat broke out on Wang Changzhi's forehead and prayed in his heart that the soldier had really gone to Xiaojie, so he should not be a deserter to implicate himself.

After a long time, the soldier finally rode back to Wang Changzhi's team based on the military flag where Wang Changzhi's team was located.

"What did you go? It took so long to pee?" Wang Changzhi was very dissatisfied. The soldier had been delaying too long and almost caused him a lot.

"Report to the captain, I, I... have come and have a big shot."

"roll!"
