Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 207 Four fierce
Daye six years, midsummer.

The scorching sun hangs high all day long, and the sun can burn people to death. Knowing that Zhi is screaming all day long, on such a hot day, Changbai Yingyang Mansion was built quietly.

The military mansion was not built on the edge of Zhangqiu County, but in Zouping County in the north of the mountain. The camp was in the Qingyang Villa of the former Wang Bo's family.

Backed by Changbai Mountain and blocked by the Ji River in front, it enjoys convenient transportation, water and land.

The address was chosen by the above, so Luo Cheng only needs to obey it.

Fortunately, the entire Changbai Mountain belongs to their defense area of ​​Changbai Yingyang Mansion, so the military depot and farmland on Zhangqiu's side are still theirs.

After Wang Bo's defeat, Qingyang Villa was confiscated as government property, and the manor remained the same, but without the excitement of the past.

Today, this manor, which has been silent for a while, is once again bustling.

Luo Cheng, Qi Biao and Li Bao, two school captains, led eight brigade commanders and three hundred youths, crossed Changbai Mountain and arrived here.

When he arrived at the villa, Luo Cheng set up a banner of recruiting troops.

This time, three hundred soldiers were recruited.

Normal government soldiers are selected by point, wherever the military government is located, they will be selected at that point, one point every three years, and selected from qualified young men with good registration.Those who have equal wealth will be strong, those who have equal power will be rich, and those who have equal financial resources will get more than one.

But now that the people in Qi County have heavy schoolwork, and a large number of strong men are not at home, Luo Cheng has also relaxed the conditions. The recruitment flag is set up, and anyone who is willing to come can sign up, as long as the identity is good.

Of course, you still have to pass an exam to enter the camp. First, you must be a good citizen, and second, you must be over 23 years old, but you must be under [-].Second, it cannot be the only son and cannot be the eldest son.

As for whether the family has money or not, this is not the focus of his choice.

But being brave and strong is a must, and the bow, knife and stone are passable, and new items such as archery and spears are added for screening.

Once the recruiting flag is treed, the recruiting order is issued.

There was an endless stream of applicants, and Gein Luocheng's recruitment order clearly stated that anyone who was selected would be a soldier of the government for life, and he would be granted a whole hundred acres of military land when he entered the government.Become a soldier of the government, do not pay rent and transfer, do not serve.

These two points alone are enough to attract countless people.

There are many athletes and heroes in Qi County. More than a thousand people have passed the bow, knife and stone test. More than 100 people can wield a 150-jin sword, turn a [-]-jin stone pedicle, and pull a five-stone hard bow.

Luo Chengcheng was amazed by the quality of the recruits this time, and came to consider them one by one in person.

In the end, he selected 1000 heroes out of more than [-] athletes, and four of them were particularly praised by him.

The first one is Guo Xiaoke from Xiangcheng County. His family can be regarded as a small property, but this person, like Liu Bang, has lofty ambitions in peeing, but in fact he is idle all day long. It is to work in the crops, with the same virtue as Luo Laosi before.

Good guns and fists, tall and strong, with kung fu.Hearing that the imperial court wanted to add a military mansion in Shandong, they went around to apply for the recruitment. As a result, they were rejected in many counties, and brought a group of fellow villagers all the way east. Finally, they found an opportunity here in Luo Cheng. After some trials, Luo Cheng very satisfied.

Although this guy is the son of a small landlord, he is actually good at riding and shooting, especially his strength. Although he can't practice horse spears, he is good at one-foot spears. Luo Cheng recorded him on the whiteboard in advance.

The second one is Li Junxian from Wu'an County, Hebei Province. He is 23 this year and is just at the age of recruiting. Practiced on the back.However, although his ability is strong, but because his family is poor, he can't be selected as a mansion soldier. Hearing that Luo Cheng is not limited to these, he came to sign up, and was hired by Luo Cheng at a glance.

The third is Zhang Liang from Xingyang County. His family is poor and has little land, so he can only help others to work on the land, but he is tall and strong.When trying the bow and knife stone, all three were selected and passed at one time. They were as eye-catching as Wang Tieshi back then, and they were also directly hired by Luo Cheng.

The fourth is Wang Junkuo from Hedong. This man was lonely and poor since he was a child. He was raised by his uncle. Later, he made a living by selling horses. He often traveled outside the Great Wall. He was very good at riding and shooting. He often steals, and the village hates it. This time, he just came to Qi County to sell a batch of horses. He just heard that Luo Cheng is recruiting soldiers here, and the salary is really good, so he came to sign up.

His riding and shooting skills stood out from the crowd, and Luo Cheng caught his eye.

The three hundred recruits, most of whom are between the ages of eighteen and nineteen, are all over seven feet (1.61 meters) tall, and most of them are seven feet five (1.73).

Except for some special warriors who are from other counties, the rest are basically natives of Qi County.

Luo Cheng mixed these 300 people with the original 500 people to form a total of [-] teams, which belonged to the Eighth Brigade and the Fourth Regiment.

Now that he has joined the Weifu, he is not as poor as he was when he was a county soldier.

At least, the weapons and equipment can be applied for payment from above. They are all standard ordnance made by the military product supervisor, and even war horses can be applied for.

However, because it is a new military mansion, Luo Cheng and his Changbai Yingyang mansion also receive some special treatment, that is, temporarily the weapons and horses cannot be paid directly, but a batch of food and grass will be delivered soon.

"Actually, it's just an excuse. It's not easy to use money nowadays. If you pay money, everything will be solved." Qi Guoyuan told Luo Cheng the trick. The government soldiers have to prepare their own armaments, but self-preparation is not up to you. It's not random, but it has to follow the Weifu standard.

The most basic seven items of equipment for a military soldier are called the seven things of the military soldier, clothing, quilts, supplies, objects, bows and arrows, saddles and bridles, and weapons and battles.

There are standards for these things, so the normal operation is that the government soldiers pay money to the military government, and then the military government uniformly reports to the Wei government, and the Wei government then purchases and distributes to the Ministry of War and Weiwei Temple.

Of course, what if you have too much equipment and can't afford it all at once?
Then rent it.

Every guard house has armored warehouses, which store a lot of equipment. When it’s time to fight or train, and the equipment is insufficient, they will rent it out and return it when it is used up.

But now that the Changbai Yingyang Mansion has just been established, the armor stick storehouse is still empty, so naturally I have to buy it.

Fubing equipment is divided into personal equipment and fire team equipment.

For personal equipment, you need to prepare a bow, thirty arrows, a Hulu for holding arrows, a horizontal knife, a sharpening stone for sharpening knives, a letter for untying knots, a felt hat, a tent, and a tent.If you want to go on an expedition, you have to prepare nine buckets of wheat and rice and two buckets of rice as rations.

And a group of ten people must have fire equipment. For a fire, there must be six pack horses and donkeys, a Ubu curtain, an iron horse bowl, a cloth trough, a wok, a chisel, a pestle, a basket, an axe, tongs, and a saw, and two armor beds. , sickle two.

Team equipment: one fire drill, one chest horse rope, three headbands, and three feet each.

It is even necessary to prepare sickles, baskets, pestles, saws and other agricultural tools, which are used to snatch the enemy's grain during combat, or to cut grass and trees, dig soil, build roads, fill rivers and lay bridges.

Of course, these are only the most basic equipment, and each branch will have its own equipment.

For example, if you are a pikeman, each person must have a rifle, a long spear, a horizontal knife, a disarmor knife, a barrier knife, a crossbow, 65 crossbow bolts, and a spare crossbow. Three bows, one hard bow, one soft bow, thirty spare bows, five spare bowstrings, and a round shield.

If it is a light cavalry, each person has a spear, a horizontal knife, three soft bows, 150 bows and arrows, eight spare bowstrings, a barrier knife, a disarmor knife, and a round shield.

Each arm has its own unique weapons, but basically all arms are equipped with a horizontal knife as standard, all infantry are equipped with a rifle as standard, and all cavalry are equipped with a spear and a round shield as standard. All cavalry are equipped with bows.

If you want to buy a full set of equipment, it will cost a lot.

Therefore, the selection of government soldiers is mainly the sons of the powerful landlords, because ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

"The Weifu gave each of our cavalry a subsidy of [-] yuan to buy horses, and another [-] yuan a year to raise horses. But you know, now that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, the imperial court ordered wealthy households from all over the country to raise horses for the army, which caused the price of horses to increase. Gao Gao, how can you buy horses for war with [-] yuan now, even if you pay [-] yuan, you may not be able to buy a horse, and in many places it has risen to [-] to [-] yuan a horse." Qi Guoyuan said.

Qi County is no better than Hetao, it is close to the outside of the Great Wall, and it was originally a place for grazing horses.

"I don't think the imperial court will be able to rely on it." Luo Cheng also knows that the imperial court has built up so many military mansions and prepared for the Eastern Expedition. The weapons and equipment must be transported to Zhuojun and the front lines in western Liaoning first. How can the new military mansion have such good treatment.

"First set up one regiment for the cavalry, and three regiments for the county soldiers. What do the two captains think?"

Qi Guoyuan was a lieutenant of Yueqi, who commanded the cavalry. Luo Cheng directly wanted to strip his two regiments and convert the other into infantry. This was against his interests, but the fat lieutenant agreed.

"A cavalry without a horse is considered a bird cavalry. I agree with Luo Sima's arrangement."

"Then the cavalry regiment has a light cavalry brigade and a scout brigade. The infantry consists of three regiments, one bow and crossbow regiment, one light infantry regiment and one heavy infantry regiment."

The light infantry regiment is the former jumping infantry, mainly sword players, accompanied by spearmen.The heavy infantry regiment is the large shield spearmen, plus the simple sword soldiers.

This configuration is also arranged according to the main combat method of the Sui army today. If the Sui army fights in a frontal battle, everyone usually shoots arrows with bows and crossbows first, and consumes the opposite wave remotely.

When the opponent came over, the heavy infantry stood in front, and the light infantry and crossbowmen continued to shoot arrows.

After withstood the first wave, the light infantry began to jump and counterattack, fighting in close quarters.

If you withstand the enemy's attack at this time, then send heavy cavalry to charge.

Break through the enemy, then send Qingqi to pursue.

The cooperation of various arms is quite particular. The crossbowman consumes from a long distance, the heavy infantry forms a formation to block the enemy, the light infantry slashes and kills, and then the heavy cavalry breaks the formation, and then the light cavalry pursues.

Now that he is a mansion soldier, Luo Cheng of course has to follow this configuration.

Otherwise, if you really want to be transferred to the front line, you will not be able to join the large army.

"Then follow this plan and find a way to get the equipment back first!"
