Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1210
However, the Tang Dynasty changed it into a mixed army, which is a tactical unit. From at least 2 to [-] people in the past, it has been reduced to a few thousand people to take on combat tasks alone.

This kind of tactical thinking is actually very similar to that of Lao Mei after World War II. Lao Mei was also above the regiment, and began to combine multiple arms, mixing brigades into divisions, infantry vehicles and artillery.

Datang's thinking is very advanced, and it fully shows that the Tang army is very strong. Otherwise, without this confidence, thousands of people can form an army to stand alone.

Lu Song has become the imperial court's overseas governor's mansion, which can support soldiers and horses. Qin Lang is now setting up a military town, commanded by defensive envoys, and dominated by vassal knights' family soldiers.

"We sent five thousand troops. According to Chinese military regulations, there are two thousand and eight soldiers, including one thousand cavalry, one thousand heavy infantry, and eight hundred light infantry. In addition, there are one thousand and two engineers, artillery and heavy soldiers, plus one sailor and one sailor. Thousands, a total of five thousand."

In this way, a unit is not called an army but a brigade. It has jurisdiction over cavalry battalions, sailor battalions, infantry battalions, auxiliary battalions, etc. According to four teams of 200 people, one cavalry battalion governs five regiments, and the infantry is divided into two light infantry regiments. Battalion, five regiments of heavy infantry, four regiments of light infantry.

There are two regiments each of engineers, artillery, and heavy soldiers.

For the sailors, Qin Jun's battleship Taiping and frigate Wu'an are the main force. In addition, the frigate Shilong of Jiangwutang and the destroyer San Francisco will also join the battle order. Several transport ships and speedboats will also be called in. .

"This time we didn't just go around the enemy's rear for a little trouble. We not only had to go around and attack, but we also had to establish our stronghold there, and build a fortress to defend it for a long time."

Qin Jun asked, "Does the martial arts hall only have a thousand apprentices?"

"Call the knights to fight!"

The Jiangwu Hall belongs to a military unit in Luzon, and its rank is quite high.Qin Lang divided Lu Song into several military towns, which were equivalent to a large military area, with military divisions underneath.

The Martial Arts Hall is equivalent to a large military area, and the military affairs of Shilong Island and the surrounding areas are under its command.

Qin Lang is concurrently the principal of Shilong Island. Currently, the head coach Qin Cun'en is in charge of the daily affairs. He is not only responsible for the teaching situation of the martial arts hall on the island, but also serves as the deputy defense envoy of Shilong Town.

The military forces in the military area of ​​Shilong Town, the sealed knights and selected warriors, including the township militia, are all under its jurisdiction.

He can issue a call-up order according to Qin Lang's order.

According to the needs of the scale of the war, the knights, warriors, militia, etc. who are obliged to perform military service in the military town are required to dispatch a certain number of troops.

"We have pulled out all 4000 students this time, and there are still 3000 people left. Excluding the soldiers and sailors on the two ships you brought, Dalang, we will give priority to recruiting knights for the remaining [-] people."

The first-level knight, that is, the Yuqiwei, needs to send out one cavalry and two armored infantry.The approximate proportion of sending troops is based on their land property, one cavalry and two infantry for five hundred mu, and they will be recruited according to this ratio.

Knights are obliged to serve in the military, and there is a prescribed number. For example, for a minimum feather cavalry captain, a maximum of one cavalryman and four armored infantrymen are required.

Of course, Qin Lang also stipulated that although this kind of military service is compulsory and free, it should not exceed three months and ninety days a year. If compensation is required, taxes can be reduced or exempted.And try to avoid recruiting troops during busy farming seasons.

When Cun'en sent the cavalry students to deliver the order, let them tell the knights in the military town, "Prepare the armor and dry food, and arrive at Shilong Island to assemble within five days. Anyone who misses the time will be dealt with by military law. If it is a armor If there is not enough troops, they will be punished.”

"Tell them again that this time the troops will not lose money. When we arrive at the destination, we will hand over one-third of the captured Barangay villages, family houses, population, property, livestock and other spoils to the next one-third. Once you stay in the military town, one-third will be shared with everyone.”

"If you destroy a village, you can capture hundreds of people. If you drag them to the port of San Francisco, you can sell them for three to five thousand yuan. Such a good opportunity is rare."

Qin Cun'en's student cavalry went out to inform every knight in the town.

While waiting for the knights to assemble, the island also began to step up the loading of military supplies. The fleet gathered at the port and loaded a large amount of ordnance, food, etc. on board.

The time limit was five days, but before sunset on the third day, all the recruited knights had arrived with their men.

Originally only more than 3000 people were recruited, but it turned out that more than the number of recruits came, and nearly 5000 people came.

After receiving the call-up order, many knights brought more soldiers.

There are the lowest-level feathered cavalry captains, and they only need to bring two more armored infantry by themselves. As a result, many of them brought more than two, and some feathered cavalry captains even came directly with several cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Cun En did not refuse.

He no longer directly organized according to the 800 soldiers of the Chinese army, but changed it to the left and right Yuhou armies, each with 76 soldiers, including 38 soldiers each, and [-] teams, [-] teams each.

Each army has ten regiments of cavalry with 500 men, organized into the first regiment of heavy cavalry, four regiments of two hundred, and the second regiment of light cavalry, six regiments of three hundred.

Two regiments of the heavy infantry jumping regiment, each with 200 people, are the first-line assault heavy infantry.

Two heavy infantry regiments, each with 200 people, are the heavy infantry of the second line reserve.

Two regiments of light infantry and crossbowmen, each with 150 people, are forward multi-purpose infantry.

Two regiments of light infantry and archers, each with 150 people, are the front light infantry.

In addition, there are two hundred engineers in the first regiment, two hundred in the artillery regiment, and four hundred in the two heavy soldiers.

The total number of the two armies was five thousand and six, and the number of soldiers was three thousand and eight. Coupled with the naval personnel of the ships, it finally exceeded six thousand.

In the end, Qin Cun'en had to leave some of his people behind and set off from Longkou Port on Shilong Island with only 600 people.

For this army, Qin Jun served as the marching chief.

Cun En served as the commander of the marching army and the general manager of Zuo Yuhou, and Cunxian served as the marching commander and the general manager of You Yuhou. Although Qin Jun declined several times and felt that he was not suitable to be the general manager, Cun En believed that Qin Jun was the eldest son of Qin Lang. He is also the world-appointed governor of Wu'an, and he is also the Duke of the county. Since he participated in this operation, he should be the general manager.

Of course, the actual command of military operations can be assisted by the two Cun En.

To put it bluntly, it is just a false name.

In the end, Qin Jun reluctantly agreed to be the commander in chief, and the positions of captains and team leaders of each regiment and team should be held by knights with military experience or instructors in the martial arts hall.

The army is well equipped.

The knights not only had cotton armor on their bodies, but most of them also had iron chain armor. The retinue cavalry they brought generally also had cotton armor, and the infantry also wore cotton or leather armor.

In terms of weapons, the heavy infantry has two spears, one bow, thirty arrows, two strings, one horizontal knife, and one shield.

In addition to their own bows or crossbows, light infantry also needs to be equipped with a spear, a horizontal knife, and a shield.

The cavalry also had spears, horn bows, maces, and shields.

The equipment is not inferior to the Fubing at all. Among these equipment, the cotton armor and lock armor are all made by the Qin family's weapon factory in Linyi. Before that, they were mainly supplied to the Linyi queen's imperial guards and the Qin family's overseas soldiers. Mercenary.

Forging weapons in Linyi is related to the queen, and there is no limit. The Qin family has trained many craftsmen and workers over the years, and has accumulated good technology and good production capacity.

After Luzon established the Governor's Mansion, there were no restrictions, and Qin Lang immediately began to transfer some workers from Linyi to Luzon to build a factory.

In addition, after the establishment of the Dudu Mansion in Luzon, Qin Lang immediately applied to the court to purchase weapons and equipment, which is basically good.

The equipment is all made by the Qin family themselves, or purchased from the imperial court, and then sold to the feudal knights.

The price of equipment is still relatively expensive, but compared to the cost of ordnance manufacturing in Europe, Rome, Persia, Franks and other countries at this time, it is still much cheaper.

At this time in Europe, a chain mail shirt was worth at least six bulls, and a set of full-body equipment was worth at least twelve bulls.

The price of a big local bull is about half of a war horse.

The price of a war horse in the Tang Dynasty is about [-] guan. This is the result of its prosperity since Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. It has a large number of horse-producing land and excellent pastures, and has good relations with many surrounding horse-producing tribes. , Through the trade of tea horses, silk horses, etc., a steady stream of cheap and good horses can be obtained.

In the report of Taipu Temple last year, it was stated that there were one million war horses in the national ranch in Zhenguan in 16 years. This is a very astonishing number.

There is a saying that as many war horses as there are, the country will be as big.

At the time of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a good war horse could even sell for [-] to [-] guan, but now the war horse only needs [-] guan, you know this huge change.

If a set of warrior equipment with six horses is used, it costs 120 yuan now. For a knight, this price is not expensive. Even if the knight's equipment is doubled, it is still affordable. Armored soldiers, based on one ride and four steps of armor, cost about 700 yuan.

The equipment money for these five people alone is indeed worth the price of a manor.

Fortunately, on Datang's side, the horse only needs [-] guan, and the equipment is even cheaper. A horizontal knife can even cost a few hundred dollars, and spears, bows and arrows are not too expensive.

In fact, the knights bought armor and equipment from Qin Lang, and Qin Lang also gave subsidies. After the subsidy, a set of knight's padded armor is [-] guan, a set of vest is [-] guan, a horse is [-] guan, swords and guns, etc. A set of equipment costs ten pennies.

The armor of a heavy infantry is 38 guan, and the equipment is less than 35 guan, and the armor of a light infantry is [-] guan.

The powerful military industry has created the excellent and sufficient military equipment of Datang today, and the production cost is very low.

The cotton armor of the Qin family is called iron cloth clothes. Two pieces of cotton are covered with a layer of iron, and two layers of cloth are sewn on the outside, and then connected with copper nails or fastened with cowhide. It's not a piecemeal piece that's complicated and cumbersome to wear.

This kind of iron cloth clothes is not only easy to put on and take off, but also lighter and thinner. It also saves a lot of iron materials, cowhide and other materials, and is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than traditional iron armor.
