As soon as a person has a thought, he gets out of control, and Su Ce couldn't sleep.
He lit the oil lamp on the desk and spread out a piece of rice paper. The cold night was full of coolness. Su Ce was wrapped in a quilt and licking rough ink with the wolf brush in his hand.
Su Ce had just mentioned it, but he still didn't put it down. Sixty-percent of the large-scale frontier army was combat troops and 40% were auxiliary troops. This ratio was actually somewhat inappropriate, or not suitable for the imperial army.
First of all, the border troops are mostly Xinfu soldiers with little combat power. Therefore, they rely more on bows and crossbows to kill the enemy. The border troops have always avoided close combat with the enemy. The vast land on the border has enough space for the border troops. Across the wilderness.
But for the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, if they really want to use this army to fight, the border army and the Nan Ya Mansion soldiers are already outnumbered, and the mausoleum guards cannot come out. The Bei Ya Forbidden Army is Da Qian's last trump card.
The trump card determines the outcome!
Su Ce squinted at the orange candlelight, and the soybean oil made a "cracking" sound from time to time on the cotton thread.
The Bei Ya Forbidden Army can fight on foot and cavalry, and all the troops are fighting. However, if an army does not have its baggage, it can only be strong for a while.
The former army has 80 regiments, 40 battle regiments, and 40 garrison troops. If we follow the numbers given by the Ministry of War, we need to equip at least 40 troops with auxiliary equipment.
But if we really want the four thousand forbidden troops in the front army to exert their power, it is not enough to use all the soldiers. Instead, some of the soldiers should be separated from the soldiers as auxiliary troops. Only in this way can the whole army's operations be sustained.
However, the Ministry of War should have considered this kind of thing. Su Ce heard that there was a newly built camp between the Jian Zhang Supervisor and the Beiya Forbidden Army Camp, but he didn’t know whether it was the Jian Zhang Supervisor’s intention to establish a new army, or whether it was for the Imperial Guard. The Beiya Forbidden Army is equipped with auxiliary troops.
Su Ce couldn't sleep, so he simply picked up a pen and wrote on paper to deduce the tactics of the former army when encountering the enemy.
To put it simply, the military formations of the various armies in Daqian are different, but basically they are all alternating battles and garrisoning. The so-called alternation of battles and garrisoning means that the troops are in the front fighting in close combat, and the garrison is in the back with crossbows and crossbows, and they alternate according to the command of the generals in the formation. In combat, the battle team becomes a garrison, and the garrison becomes a battle team. As for the auxiliary soldiers, they replenish their weapons and equipment after the two teams. Whether it is the arrows shot in the air, or the horizontal knives, spears, shields, etc. dropped during the fight, they are all carried out by the auxiliary soldiers. Replenish.
It has been said before that the armor of the Ministry of War is sufficient, and it is hoped that 100% of the army will be equipped with iron armor. However, on the battlefield, this is not a matter of course. The auxiliary soldiers are issued leather armor. Some auxiliary soldiers do not even wear leather armor, but only wear battle robes. , no body armor.
The Armed Forces of the Ministry of War clearly stipulates the armament of the dry army. All personnel are equipped with bows, swords and guns, 20% each of crossbows and knives, 10% clubs, 60% iron armor, and 40% leather armor. Weapons such as hammers, axes, and axes are also required. Equipped.
The weapons and equipment in the Daqian Army are undoubtedly over-provisioned. During wartime, the soldiers can collect them from the auxiliaries according to the war situation.
Auxiliary soldiers are indispensable. No matter what the superiors think about it, now that Su Ce has thought of it, he can't help but talk about what it means to hide and tuck him into his position.
After thinking for a while, Su Ce started writing about his thoughts on the auxiliary troops.
After finishing writing, Su Ce blew out the oil lamp and prepared to sleep. Just as he lay down, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the camp.
Su Ce quickly turned over and lay down, grabbed the armor beside the couch and put it on his body. At this time, Zhang Lang rushed to Su Ce's room. Zhang Lang was on duty tonight.
"General, there's a fire in the south!" Zhang Lang saw Su Ce put on his armor and quickly stepped forward to help Su Ce put on his armor.
When Su Ce heard about the south, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. To the south of the camp, that was Chang'an!
"Don't worry about me, order, all soldiers are not allowed to leave the tent, go quickly, don't blow up the camp!" Su Ce pushed Zhang Lang away, Zhang Lang nodded, blowing up the camp is the camp roar, how terrifying the camp roar is, Zhang Lang
Lang's scalp went numb when he thought about it, and he rushed out of the house.
Su Ce walked to the front yard without putting on his armor, and happened to meet Guan Yi who was also in messy clothes.
"Put on the armor first!" Guan Yi nodded and helped Su Ce put on the armor. Su Ce pulled the war horse handed over by the former military guard, got on the horse, and said to Guan Yi: "Zhang Lang has gone to suppress it, please lead him quickly.
The former army guards helped him, and I went to the Guards Mansion to obey orders!"
"Here! General, be careful!" Guan Yi didn't talk nonsense and asked the guards in the courtyard to help him put on his armor.
"I know!" Su Ce heard the sound of the first drum halfway, but the second drum didn't sound for a long time, and without saying much, he patted his horse and left the former military mansion.
Once the drum is played, the generals will gather together.
Beat the drum twice and gather the troops.
Three tongs and drums, prepare the army for war!
Su Ce rode in front, followed by seven or eight guards from the former military mansion. It must be a big event to gather the generals late at night.
On the road, I met other generals from other armies, but no one was in the mood to chat.
"Chang'an Fire!"
"Someone saw it!"
…
After a brief exchange, everyone gathered together and rushed to the guard house of Shenwu Zuowei.
At this time, in the Wei Mansion, Dugu Jin was wearing a military robe, and his personal guards were helping to put on his armor. He looked at the five lieutenant generals who were rushing in and shouted: "He is here, don't panic!"
Dugu Jin's beard and hair were slightly gray and he had been a soldier all his life. At this time, whether it was Su Ce or the other four lieutenant generals, the murderous aura that pervaded his aging body shocked their minds.
"The sound of drums comes from Chang'an. There are the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya in the city, as well as the Yulin Army and the Luben Army. It is not an enemy attack!" Dugu Jin said his decision, but looked at the light in the night to the south. What was happening in Chang'an City at this time?
, Dugu Jin is also unknown.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, most of the four guards in Shenwu Shenwei's army were new recruits. If the camp was full of veterans, and the drums were played late at night, the camp would be bombed.
At this time, looking down from the night sky, there were fires burning in two squares in Chang'an City. It was a dry winter, so fires were inevitable, but the fires in two squares were set off at the same time. Someone must have done it deliberately.
Compared with the increasingly quiet sounds in the Beiyuan camp, the Sixteen Guards in the south camp are different.
The soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards were all old soldiers, all fierce soldiers who fought in the frontier army. When they woke up in the middle of the night, many of the old soldiers did stupid things out of ignorance.
The generals on duty of the Sixteenth Guards, together with the soldiers who were on duty at the camp at night, were suppressing these old soldiers who were violently killing people.
There is no right or wrong! Once the camp roars in the army and half of the army is left, no one can bear this responsibility, so instead of spreading from a few places to the front army, it is better to kill it from the beginning.
"All troops return to their tents, and those who leave the tents will be killed!"
"shoot!"
"kill!"
…
At this time, a tragedy was happening in the camp in the south of the city. The military men in the Beiyuan camp led the guards on duty to shout around the camp, but there was no fighting.
But the military lieutenants and generals in Chang'an City, both outside and inside the city, all wore frost on their faces.
The messengers who came down from the hanging basket of Chang'an City rushed to the many camps outside the city at night. When they met the cavalry sent to Chang'an City, they didn't say much. The cavalry stretched out their hands, and the messengers took the cavalry's arms.
