Everyone soon arrived in front of the general stage. Liu Haojia was the first to take the stage and stood in the center of the high platform. Wu Yunshan was much more honest this time, standing beside Liu Haojia in a well-behaved manner. Because in the military camp, the status of the commander of the first army was
Supreme, no one can stand in front of them!
Seeing Liu Haojia on the general stage, many smart soldiers had already started to run into the barracks. Because their military uniforms and weapons were still in the barracks, they needed to put on their military uniforms and stand with their weapons before the drum beat ended.
At this time Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Drumming!"
The soldiers who had been prepared on both sides of the high platform immediately beat the big drums, and the "dong dong" sound of the drums immediately covered the entire military camp. As the drums sounded, the relatively peaceful camp was completely shaken! And the entire military camp was like a
The beast that had just woken up was as restless as flexing its muscles!
A large number of soldiers swarmed out from all over the camp, and the sound of running was as thick as raindrops! Even Wu Yunshan felt the wood under his feet shaking when he stood on the high platform, and was secretly frightened!
After the three drums were played, a square formation of five large and one small appeared on the school field, and a group of soldiers on horseback gathered together, but the formation was relatively loose.
In the school field, except for the soldiers in two square formations, one large and one small, all holding firecrackers, the soldiers in the other four square formations were a mixture of firecrackers and spears. However, the spears they used were not the same as those usually used by the Ming army.
It's different, but it's a little ridiculously long, almost two feet long, very conspicuous!
These spear soldiers were just trained by Liu Haojia, because he found that with insufficient artillery, the gun soldiers could not completely suppress the opponent's charge, so the only way was to add more melee combat units! This reminded him of the Spanish Grand Square
!
The Spanish Grand Square is actually a hollow square, but the four corners are composed of spearmen. Their spears are surprisingly long. The soldiers on the two corners hold spears, and the spear tips can be in the center of the square.
Contact, so that the spear is enough to cover the four fronts of the entire phalanx.
Under their cover, the Fire Cannon Soldiers can safely output firepower. There are also four Fire Cannon Soldier squads on the periphery of the phalanx. They roam around the phalanx, supplementing the firepower output and coordination of the phalanx at any time.
Defense. Such a large square formation can attack at close range or from a distance. It has strong defense and great lethality!
Wu Yunshan, who had been pinching his fingers at this time, was extremely horrified! Because according to his calculations by pinching his fingers, he had just counted more than 700 people, and the people in the entire military camp had already gathered! When he went to inspect the military camp before,
, even if they received the news in advance, the soldiers would still have to scramble for two or three quarters of an hour before they could gather together. And they would not stand as neatly as the following square formations, chopping with swords and axes!
At this time, Liu Haojia pointed his finger at the bottom and said: "Mr. Wu, the four square formations composed of fire gun soldiers and spear soldiers are full-time soldiers. The square formation on the right that all uses fire gun soldiers are all baggage soldiers. The smallest
The phalanx is artillery, and the ones on horseback stay up all night!"
There are now more than 8,000 regular soldiers under Liu Haojia's command. These soldiers are all used to form square formations and carry out regular combat soldiers. The other more than 1,000 baggage soldiers are not specialized in transporting baggage, but have received formal training.
Soldiers. They are responsible for commanding civilians to transport baggage during wartime.
With these soldiers leading the team, they can command several times the number of civilians to carry out rapid camp construction, road construction, transportation and other work. Moreover, they can be added to the regular army at any time.
After Liu Haojia finished speaking, he didn't hear the answer, so he turned around to look, only to find that Wu Yunshan was stunned! So he smiled proudly and said, "Master Wu, you can start the inspection now!"
Wu Yunshan woke up with a start, and immediately raised his hands and said: "Master Hou leads the troops well, this Wu'an army is indeed a strong army!"
A smile appeared on Liu Haojia's lips and he nodded to show that he accepted the compliment. But he was actually extremely proud of himself! How could an army that could even convince its opponents not be a strong force? Then he returned the favor and said, "Thank you, Lord Wu, for the compliment! My subordinates."
The boys are still capable of it!"
Wu Yunshan did not want to discuss this matter with him, so he handed over his hand again and said: "In that case, I will officially start the inspection!"
Liu Haojia nodded in agreement, and Wu Yunshan got off the general platform and walked towards the phalanx with the people he brought. And when he walked to the front of the phalanx, he was even more surprised, because only when he was close to the phalanx could he feel these soldiers
What is truly extraordinary is something he cannot feel from a high platform!
When he was walking around the edge of the phalanx, he could clearly see that all the soldiers in the phalanx were arranged in an extremely neat line, no matter horizontally or vertically. Even the tilt angles and placement of their weapons were almost exactly the same. They seemed to be using
Just like what was printed from the same mold!
And looking at the soldiers in front of him, they are all strong and rosy! From their exposed necks, you can see that these soldiers are extremely muscular. They are completely different from the old ghost-like Ming soldiers he saw in the past.
The difference between heaven and earth!
At this time, although Wu Yunshan despised the appearance of other Ming army soldiers in his heart, he never thought that he had a share of the credit for those soldiers becoming like that! The military pay was squandered by the civil servants and generals, and the soldiers did not even have food.
How can you have a good body if you don't eat enough?
While Wu Yunshan was observing these soldiers, the people he brought were quickly counting the number of soldiers. They quickly came up with the final number. After summarizing the numbers, one of them walked to Wu Yunshan and said: "Sir,
The numbers have been tallied.”
Wu Yunshan then turned around and said, "How about it, what is the specific number?"
The clerk said: "The total number of people on the roster is 11,426, of which there are 724 vacancies. However, the personnel on duty have not been counted, and they should all be among these more than 700 people."
Wu Yunshan was extremely surprised! There are more than 700 vacancies for more than 10,000 people. How is this possible! There are more than this many people who dare to do chores on weekdays! This is not a vacancy, it is complete! How can this be?
But just as he was about to speak, the officer who had been following Wu Yunshan's actions said: "Among the vacancies, there are 585 soldiers on duty in various places. These people can send soldiers back in rotation. There are also 122 soldiers.
Soldiers are responsible for cleaning, cooking and other daily tasks. These people can be summoned. There are also twelve people who are resting due to illness and injuries. The superior officer can send people to the sick camp to check."
Wu Yunshan composed himself and said: "Please send someone to lead the way. I will immediately send someone to check other places."
