The way for each team to command two centurions is that when both centurions are present, the senior centurion leads the right half of the team and the less experienced one in the left half of the team, when only one person is present, all of them are handed over to the command of the centurion present.

The cavalry is divided into ten cavalry teams, each with 30 people, three cavalry officers were selected, and three supply officers were appointed in sequence. The first one was elected to command the entire cavalry team. When the first one was not present, the second one took over as the command of the cavalry.

Before the reform, Liguo promoted compulsory military service, and all weapons and equipment were provided by themselves, so the number of troops was evaluated based on the amount of property.

Light infantry lacked training, had simple armor, was equipped with javelins, wooden shields and short swords in close proximity, and helmets were mostly helmets.

The young and strong soldiers lacked combat experience and formed the first line of the legion, equipped with long spears, short swords and shields.

Elite soldiers are the core of the army, forming the second row of the legion. The weapons are the same as young soldiers, and the armor may be better due to their property.

The reserve troops are the oldest and most experienced. They usually form the reserve troops of the army, form the third row of the legion, and go into battle in the traditional heavy infantry posture, equipped with spears and long shields.

In the era of conscripts in which cavalry had to be equipped with their own equipment, only the richest people could afford horses, which meant that they were small in number and were usually only used for reconnaissance and commandments.

After the reform, the Liguo Legion and infantry brigade can quickly deal with the enemy's large forces, and the differences in equipment disappeared, and the entire army was equipped with standard weapons and protective gear.

Of course, the most important thing is the cancellation of property restrictions. Anyone with a senior country can join the army. After serving most of his life in the military, the retired army can obtain a piece of land and a pension.

The smallest unit in the legion is a team of five people, and 10 people form one.

Ten groups form a hundred-man team, five hundred-man teams form an infantry brigade, and ten infantry brigades form a legion.

The first infantry brigade of each legion has double the number of people, although its combat effectiveness is not much stronger than other brigades.

Each legion was equipped with cavalry as a guard and messenger, and they were not incorporated into formal combat units but they were arranged throughout the legion.

The weapons used by all legions are almost no different in different parts of the entire Liguo.

The soldiers of the Legion carried two main weapons, one of which was a short sword and a short sword, and the other was a long spear.

Swords are mainly used for close-range assassination. Soldiers place it in the higher scabbard on the right to stay away from their legs and protective clothing. As for the spear, the legion used a two-meter-long large gun with an iron head, which had a large range of killing.

The state-owned large-scale production center specializes in the manufacturing of products from weapons and equipment to military lunch boxes. Each legion soldier has a square shield.

It has a curve to fit the body.

The elongated shield is made of iron or copper strips and a wooden plywood frame for a week. There is a protruding grip in the center of the shield specially prepared for the user. There are two belts inside the shield. One is used to fix the shield to the front hand in combat, and the other is used for soldiers to carry it while marching. The outward surface is sometimes covered with leather and sometimes carved. This decoration is mainly for the need for additional spells.

Moreover, the protective equipment on the warriors has different designs according to different levels.

An armor composed of six or seven metal strips attached to the transverse leather is worn on the soldier, and it is easy to move.

The shoulders are protected by some curved metal strips, paired in front and back, and this kind of armor is made of decomposed. Unlike the upper body, the protection of legs is only simple to ensure mobility.

The helmet was carefully designed, with the outermost layer of bronze, the middle of which was a layer of iron, the innermost lined with leather or fabric, and at the back, a specially designed arc plate protecting the neck.

The elite of general legion soldiers will be equipped with chain mail, which is made of iron rings strung together on the leather base.

There is also a javelin, which is a long-distance weapon that can also be used as a short spear in close combat. Its front end is a metal pole with a four-point five-foot front end, and a wooden pole with a four-point five-foot rear end. It is surrounded by a rope. It pulls the rope at the moment of projection, so that the javelin can rotate and advance, and can pierce the shield or armor. The javelin is tied to the main function of disrupting the enemy's formation and weakening the enemy.

In order to prevent the flying javelin from being thrown back, soft metal has been used at the front end, and wooden nails are used to fix the connection part. When thrown, the wooden nails will fly away to make the spear head fall off.

The Legion warrior is not just a soldier, he must also be an engineer and an architect. In addition to carrying weapons, each person also needs to bring tools and cookware. Each Legion warrior has a small axe hanging from his belt, and the quick mouth is protected by a bronze sheath. Each person also has a saw, a wicker basket, a bronze storage tank, a pot, a rope or leather, a sickle and a leather bag for clothes and personal supplies, as well as 3 to 15 days of rations.

All the legion officers wore a bronze embossed breastplate. Their uniforms were the same color as ordinary soldiers, but the texture was better and they were beautifully decorated.

The officer's helmet, weapon hanging belt and scabbard are usually decorated with gold or silver according to different ranks.

The captain of the hundred-man was the same color as their subordinates, but the captains of the middle and senior generals in the Legion command were white and crimson.

The improved Liguo Legion tactics generally adopt "drag"

" and "consume".

The first horizontal line advances first and throws the javelin. At the same time, the legion begins to evacuate, and often completes the evacuation after the javelin is thrown. The soldiers in the first horizontal line begin to charge, the first two rows of soldiers fight with the enemy with daggers, and the next few rows of soldiers throw javelins.

Then, the second horizontal line is replaced, the first horizontal line is withdrawn and rests. The light infantry is responsible for covering the two wings and behind the legion. At the same time, it is necessary to retrieve the available javelins and supplement the first horizontal line that is withdrawn. A battle usually undergoes several rounds of replacement.

The reserve troops are the reserve troops of the legion. They usually sit on the ground and rest when they are not required to fight. These veterans can only be used when the battle is in a stalemate and the legion retreats.

The camps of the Liguo Legion are generally square. When the legion enters an area close to the enemy, the deputy commander and several centurions responsible for choosing camps are sent forward to check the ground conditions and select camps. They want to find an open land, preferably a highland, which must be close to the water source and be at a certain distance from the enemy.

After deciding on the camping site, they then chose a place with the best view of the rest of the camp and planted a flag.

A red flag is planted on the side where the command tent is most suitable for collecting water and forage. This side will serve as the main camp of the legion. On the same side, a red flag is planted at the edge of the command tent to mark the location of the camp where the tents are surrounded, and the backs of these tents are facing the command tent.

Under normal circumstances, the trenches in the marching camp are only digging one meter deep, and the digging soil is used as the foundation for the camp. When digging trenches to build camps, each brigade is responsible for one side.

If there are enemy troops nearby, all the light infantry, cavalry and half of the heavy infantry are arranged between the camp and the enemy, the other half are heavy infantry digging fortifications, and all logistics convoys are lined up behind the camp. During the construction of fortifications, the commander will usually transfer the alert infantry back one by one in two hundred-man teams, and the cavalry will have to wait until all the fortifications facing the enemy are completed before withdrawing.

Each soldier will carry two or three wooden stakes, which will be inserted into the camp to form a fence.

These stakes are cut from trees and usually have forks, all of which are sharpened and point in the same direction, and all of them are tangled when arranged into fences, making it difficult for an attacker to pull up the stake from the outside without hurting his hands.

After all the fortifications were completed, the soldiers began to set up their own tents.

The relative positions of all tents are fixed, and everyone knows that his tent should be placed there.

Each centurion's tent is placed nearest to the command tent, arranged in order from top to bottom.
