King's Landing in France

Chapter 116 Who says women are inferior to men

After Lazar Cano joined, he immediately set about improving the training of An Ning's current company.

After a morning's practice, Kano found An Ning's study room: "It's amazing, your troops can't even move in line! How did you win so many rebels with such troops?"

An Ning sat behind the desk, put down the artillery list he just got, and looked up at Kano: "First of all, there are not as many rebels as the Parisians said. I have corrected it many times, but it is useless. The rebels The total number is about 9000 people.

"As for how I defeated them... the three thousand rebels I met at the beginning had no cannons or cavalry, so I caught them by surprise in the wilderness, and took advantage of our full range of troops to defeat the enemy.

"In the second battle, I made an ambush and used a bush to ambush the enemy."

An Ning carefully introduced the situation of the second ambush, including how he threw the luggage on the road, which caused the enemy's misunderstanding, and how he completely defeated the enemy with a platoon of guns and a charge while the enemy underestimated the enemy.

Lazar Kano's eyes were straightened: "With an army of this level of training, you defeated the enemy with a bayonet charge?"

An Ning: "The enemy is almost this kind of mob. And it's just a bayonet charge. Just charge out of the hedge."

"Even so, it is a remarkable achievement. What a military genius you are."

An Ning was speechless, and he himself began to have some doubts: Could it be that I really have some talent in this area?It doesn't make sense, anyone who played RTS (real-time strategy) in my era can probably fight this kind of battle.Could it be that people who liked to play RTS in my era were great military strategists per capita in ancient times?
So did RTS games make humans evolve?
Kano continued: "It turns out that this is the case. You know that your army is not capable of launching a normal march. This army will be dispersed within 100 meters of formation, so you chose to ambush at the hedge. High, It's really high!"

An Ning: Yes, from now on, that's what I think!

However, Kano was right in one sentence. His troops were indeed launching an attack seriously, and the formation would break up after less than 100 meters.

When An Ning's troops fought against the 3000-strong enemy, it was true that the formation was about to disperse when the troops walked out about 100 meters away.Moreover, this group of people didn't stop to shoot, and rushed directly to the enemy's face.

The standard process should be to stop and salvo first, and then charge.

However, with the scattered formation at that time, it would probably be chaotic to stop and salvo, and the stray bullets might hit their own people.

An Ning: "So the task of training these troops is entrusted to you."

Kano frowned: "To train such an army, I'm afraid I can't do it alone. I think you should issue a call-up notice and recruit experienced officers and non-commissioned officers from all over Paris.

"In that case, though, there might be a problem."

An Ning: "What's the problem?"

"You's army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and there is no difference in rank between soldiers and non-commissioned officers," Kano paused, "but the recruited old officers may not accept it."

An Ning thought for a while, then asked: "Is it possible to do this? I will select outstanding non-commissioned officers from the army and let them form a teaching team of about 200 people. You and your classmates will teach.

"With just this few people, the conflict between the old officers and the soldiers who demand equality should not expand. Even if it expands, it will be easier to resolve in this teaching team.

"After the training of the teaching team is completed, these people will be sent down to train the soldiers. These people and the soldiers are all of the same origin, and there will be no conflicts in official ranks.

"At this time, the teaching team will change to another group of non-commissioned officers for training. In time, we will have a group of non-commissioned officers who have the same background as the soldiers, are equal to them, but have rich experience, and the troops will become well-trained."

After An Ning finished speaking, Kano stroked his beard and thought for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Well, you can try it. In this way, even the most ordinary soldiers in the army may gradually be promoted to officers. I think the army The initiative will be greatly improved."

An Ning: "You probably don't know it yet. Because the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are patriots and citizens, the morale of my army is higher than that of the old army. They just lack training."

"An army composed of citizens, and then there is a path for promotion. Unlike the old army, which has been fighting for several years, the privates can be promoted to the upper class at most. Yes, how strong the desire to fight will be in such an army, I can't understand Imagine." Kano said with a smile, "I will start to set up a teaching company."

An Ning: "From today onwards, you will be the captain of our army's teaching brigade!"

Kano nodded, and suddenly he thought of something again, and asked, "What about the cavalry? The cavalry in the current army is only those noble ladies? Such a small cavalry unit is not enough. Do you want to choose from the infantry?" Do people learn to ride horses?"

An Ning curled her lips and sighed, "I haven't figured out where to get cavalry. Maybe after a while, I'll hire some hussars."

Kano frowned: "The military discipline of the hussars is very poor. They are proficient in eating, drinking, *gambling. If they are really recruited, those noble ladies will be humiliated by pigs soon. You don't want your beautiful noble ladies cavalry Regiment, become an army regiment, right?"

An Ning stopped talking, and Kano's words extinguished An Ning's idea of ​​hiring wild hussars.

Not only can wild hussars not be hired, but also skirmishers with poor military discipline-the French call them prancing soldiers-cannot be hired either.

But this is not a big problem, because the morale of the French citizen soldiers is high, so they can be directly used as skirmishers.

An Ning stood up and paced the room.

Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea: "Wait a minute, what do you think of us recruiting pure female soldiers to serve as cavalry?"

Lazar Kano stared at An Ning with an expression of "Do you know what the hell you're talking about?"

An Ning: "You may not have experienced the Versailles march in the past year, but I saw it with my own eyes. Women came to Versailles with guns and cannons, forcing the king to promise to give them food.

"In the skirmishers, there has long been a tradition of appointing female drinkers, who will carry wine barrels and charge behind the skirmishers.

"As for my cavalry unit, they also performed well in scouting and hunting down the enemy. I think women can be cavalrymen. This is also in line with our principle of equality for everyone. Women can hold up half the sky!"

Kano: "This... you are willing to give it a try, and I have no objection. But you can only recruit in Paris. There are many ladies in Paris who are deeply influenced by the enlightenment thought. In the countryside of Konta, there are probably not so many ladies who are willing to leave Families are out fighting."

An Ning nodded: "Okay, then I will draft a notice and post it together with the notice for recruiting officers."
