Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 121 Light Cavalry

"With 2000 troops, there are only four hundred and five left, which is not even enough for a battalion. It's a big loss." The fourth child was still thinking about the strength of the army, and he, the leader of the hook and sickle team, would have to rise anyway. At least he should be promoted to a regiment captain.

As a result, for a long time, he was still the leader of the team, still in charge of his fifty hook gunners.

The only thing that has changed is that his 50 people have a little more equipment. At least the corporal leader has been equipped with a horizontal knife, and the corporal leader has added a pair of armor.He himself is also equipped with bows and horses now, but the people are still those 50 people.

"Why, do you think there are too few people, or do you think the position is low? How about I promote you to be a regimental leader?"

"Okay." The fourth child laughed.

"Then you go and bring an auxiliary regiment, and you can choose from seven regiments."

"No." The fourth child immediately shook his head when he heard that.

The Auxiliary Corps is the waste wood regiment, no matter how many people there are, they can't get a mouthful of soup.

Zhang Xutuo heard from Jia Wuben's report that Luo Cheng reorganized 2000 troops, and the strong ones were drawn out of them to form nine soldiers, and then the rest were organized into seven auxiliary regiments, and another 200 people were drawn to replace them. Zhangqiu yamen servant errand.

"Jumping Team, Vanguard Team, Scout Team, Simple Sword Team, Sickle Spear Team, Large Shield Throwing Team, Sword Team, Crossbow Team, and Long Spear Team. You can tell from the names that Luo Cheng's nine teams have a division of labor. It is clear that the various arms are well matched, and the use of good steel on the blade shows that Luo Chengren is still very clear." Zhang Xutuo praised.

"This kid is born to be a general. I thought that if he was given 2000 troops, he would break up his subordinates and organize them into various teams. I didn't expect him to do the opposite."

Zhang Xutuo said, "When Runpu came to Zhangqiu, I gave him a team of veterans. As a result, he scattered these people to be the captains of the team. As a result, more than thirty veterans mixed with hundreds of farmers, and they disappeared immediately. However, there are many bandits and bandits coming, and his county barracks have not played a role at all."

"What else does Luo Cheng do?"

"He made a lot of flags out." Jia Wuben couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this.

Luo Cheng hastily made a large number of flags, and they were of various kinds, not the kind of general flags and team flags, after all, the Sui Army already had these.Every senior officer has an exclusive general flag, on which the officer's surname is usually written.And each team, brigade, regiment, and battalion also has its own flag, and has a special flag bearer and flag guard.

Below the team, there is generally no flag.

But now what Luo Cheng asked to make was for the team below.

"Luo Cheng asked people to make a lot of flags, and each had its own color. There were five positive flags, five standard flags, and ten colors."

In ancient times, the ancients divided colors into two types: positive color and secondary color. The positive color refers to the five pure colors of green, red, yellow, white and black, while the secondary color refers to cyanotic (red cyan), red (light red), ethereal (light cyan), Purple, flow yellow (brown yellow).

Auxiliary soldiers use Liuhuang, while soldiers use the other nine colors as flags.

There are nine warrior teams, and each team is distinguished by a color.

Not only that, Luo Cheng also asked the gang leaders to put a small flag of the same team flag color on their backs to distinguish their identities.

The gang leader is a small helmet flag on the top of the helmet.

As for the team leader, each team has a team flag, and a flag bearer follows him with the flag raised.

Luo Cheng tried his best to get these colors and flags, the purpose is to facilitate the command and facilitate the soldiers to follow their superiors.

After all, once the battle started, the battlefield was in a mess, with more than a hundred people fighting, it was not enough to just shout with your mouth and see with your eyes.

In order to keep the newly formed soldiers from messing up, and to facilitate the command of operations, Luo Cheng asked the corporal leader to put a small flag on his back, and the corporal leader put a small flag on his helmet.

In this way, the soldiers of a corps can find their corps leader at a glance, and the soldiers of a group can easily recognize their leader.

And the officers in charge of command can also use these officer flags to find their own team, judge the location, quantity, and so on.

Originally, he planned to get some badges, shoulder titles, etc., but he felt that it was not too conspicuous and could not achieve his goal, so he finally just got a flag.

In fact, carrying the flag, helmet and flag was not invented by him.

The orderlies all carried flags on their backs.

Japanese soldiers carrying flags were actually first learned from China.

If it weren't for the conditions, Luo Cheng even planned to change the clothes of the nine teams into corresponding colors, but the dyeing and printing costs of purple and scarlet colors are very expensive, so Luo Cheng didn't think about it, just dyed a flag. .

"It's very smart. Luo Cheng's vanguard team lacks training and cooperation. Coming up with this method can effectively make up for the shortcomings." Zhang Xutuo praised.

"This little guy always has all kinds of strange ideas. He is really smart."

"Luo Cheng currently has nine teams of warriors, only 450 soldiers, not even a battalion of 500 soldiers. How about this? I might as well give him 50 soldiers and [-] Qingqi for him."

"Juncheng, we are expanding day and night, and the cavalry team is only two hundred." Jia Wuben was amazed at Zhang Xutuo's generosity.

"Qingqi is a sharp knife, and now Luo Cheng is the vanguard, and fifty Qingqi is given to him, which is also good steel for use on the blade. Tell Luo Cheng, these 500 people, even after the reorganization of the Zhangqiu County Barracks, let him Lead well, and when the bandits in Changbai Mountain are wiped out, I will strongly recommend him to officially take up the post of Zhangqiu county lieutenant."

Zhang Xutuo is straightforward in his work.

Fifty Qingqi was pulled out that day.

When Jia Wuben came with fifty cavalry, Luo Cheng was reviewing the soldiers.

The nine soldiers that have just been pulled up, although the quality of the soldiers are good, but after all, they are all newly reorganized, and many of the team members don't even know each other.

"father!"

Seeing his father coming, Jia Runpu hurriedly greeted him.

As a result, Lao Jia didn't even look at him, "Shicheng, look what good things I brought you. Fifty Qingqi, the county magistrate specially transferred it to you."

Luo Cheng looked, fifty knights in double armor, with horizontal knives on their waists, and horned bows were sitting astride the mules, exuding an elite spirit.

"Draw it for me?"

"Well, Juncheng said, don't you have nine warrior teams, then I will give you another cavalry team, so that you can just make up ten teams of 500 people. After these 500 people, it will be the Zhangqiu County Barracks. Let you Take it well."

Fifty Qingqi riding on mules, although they are not riding horses, but the mules are also very tall, and Qingqi mules are also Qingqi.

Even if these were Qing cavalry newly recruited by Zhang Xutuo to Qi Junbing for training, they were much better than his local soldiers.

"Don't underestimate these mules. These mules are no worse than war horses in crossing mountains and mountains. Even in the mountains, they are stronger than war horses and have more endurance. Used well, they are a precious fighting force."

"Understood, thank you Juncheng, thank you Captain Jia."

Luo Cheng was very grateful.

In this way, his subordinates really made up ten teams of 500 troops, a complete county barracks.

"Shicheng, now you can be regarded as a well-equipped soldier, Jun Cheng hopes that you will take the lead in attacking in three days, and be the vanguard of the army, is that okay?"

"After three days? No problem!"

At this time, even if there is a problem, it has to be said that there is no problem. After all, the support given by Jun Cheng is enough, and it is time for him to perform.

Sending off Lao Jia, Luo Cheng called his second brother-in-law, Wang Ziming.

"Brother-in-law, send an invitation to the big family who raised money and food for us before, and say that I will invite them to a banquet tomorrow."

"Why invite them to dinner?"

"Of course, before leaving, I will raise some money, silk, food and grass from them."

These people were uneasy and kind to him, and wished that Luo Cheng would send troops sooner. If Luo Cheng asked them for some money before sending troops, I believe they would be willing to pay.

This is a rare opportunity, how can we let it go!
