Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 77 City Guard Corps
Caspian Sea, Naga City.

"You mean, Chang'an offered to allow us to redeem the captured clansmen?"

Queen Naga, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at the Naga Elder Sara standing in the corner of the hall with a blank expression on her face.

To be precise, the former elder.

On the day of defeat, Sara was dismissed from the position of elder by Queen Naga.

Noticing the queen's glance, Shaluo's face was flashed with shame, and he lowered his head even lower.

"Yes."

In front of Queen Naga, the murloc Kalu did not dare to show even the slightest acquaintance with Chang'an.

It is even more impossible to speak for Chang'an.

"What if we refuse?"

"Just chop up the prisoners of war and feed them to the dogs. These are the original words of Lord Chang'an."

"Humph!"

Queen Naga's complexion was gloomy for an instant, she raised her head and looked at the elders in the hall.

"You have all seen that Chang'an is still as greedy as ever."

With this big defeat, Naga lost all face among the Sea Clan.

Originally thought it would be a battle that must be won, Queen Naga had arranged a celebration banquet, but the result was a fragmented battle, and it could even be said that the entire army was wiped out.

Became the laughing stock of the Sea Clan.

"Your Majesty, I think we should agree to the alliance of the orcs, send troops together, conquer Chang'an, and personally rescue the captured clansmen. It will be a shame." Some elders came forward and asked for a fight.

Although they lost the battle, it did not affect the pride of the Naga clan.

"I thought it was wrong."

There were also elders who stood up and objected, "Not long after the previous war ended, the subordinate races such as murlocs and sea monsters suffered heavy casualties. Sending troops again in a short period of time may cause a strong backlash."

Putting aside the murloc's attitude, at least the Kraken is difficult to deal with.

Been cheated once.

The Kraken didn't want to be tricked a second time.

"That's right." Another elder stood up, "Once we send out troops for the second time, before the army reaches the city of Chang'an, the captured clansmen will probably be executed by Chang'an. How can we rescue them?"

"Then redeem the clansmen first, and then send troops, and take the opportunity to confuse Chang'an."

The main combat faction did not give up. "This time, we only need to send an elite army to attack the city jointly with the orcs. There is no need to recruit too many subordinate races to join the battle like last time."

"That's right!"

"The Sea Monster Clan dares to disobey the call, because they have different intentions and should be suppressed."

"The last battle was bad, and the sea monster clan should bear the main responsibility. This time, it is even more important to make amends. How dare you shirk it? If you dare not obey the call, you will first raise your troops to destroy them."

Generally speaking, the Naga tribe is still very warlike.

"That's it."

What Queen Naga thought about was how to recover the lost face through this battle.

It is also an opportunity to deter the major affiliated races.

"Sara!"

"exist!"

Sara, who had been paddling, was obviously taken aback when she was called by the queen.

Is it coming back?
The other elders also cast strange glances at Sara.

"You go to Chang'an again, and you must bring the tribe back safely."

For the sake of safety, Queen Naga excluded the murloc Kalu from the mission.Although he didn't think the murloc had the guts to turn against the water, but being released twice in a row, something was somewhat wrong.

"Yes!"

Sara's excited eyes dimmed instantly.

The rest of the elders also sneered.

Just to put it bluntly, how could Her Majesty use a defeated general.

.........

Afternoon, Chang'an.

Tang Jing presided over a new round of military affairs conference, mainly to announce the relevant military expansion decisions.

The general principle is——

Divide the Chang'an garrison division into two, the first division and the second division.

The first teacher will be Yue Fei.

Under the jurisdiction of the Red Flame Brigade and the Suppression Brigade, the commanders of the brigade are still Lin Shu and Gao Shun.

The second teacher will be Chang Yuchun.

Under the jurisdiction of the Huben Brigade and the Shaking Mountain Brigade, the commanders of the brigades are Yue Yun and Tu Hong respectively.

on this basis.

Three new standard infantry brigades were formed—the Longxiang Brigade, the Kaiping Brigade, and the Zhenyue Brigade, and one heavy cavalry brigade—the Baotao Brigade.

Lu Feng, the commander of the Longxiang Brigade, and Hu Xiao, the commander of the Leopard Tao Brigade.

All belong to the First Division.

Kaiping brigade commander Chang Yuchun (concurrently) and Zhenyue brigade commander Yunshan.

All belong to the Second Division.

In history, Chang Yuchun was named King of Kaiping, and the designation of the Kaiping brigade is obviously a commemoration.

The so-called standard infantry brigade has two sword and shield battalions, two elite spear battalions and one elite archer battalion.

In contrast, it is the mixed infantry brigade.

That is to say, it has two battalions of swords and shields, two battalions of elite spearmen and one battalion of light cavalry.

until now.

Only the Red Flame Brigade is the only mixed infantry brigade in the entire army.

Prior to this, the infantry brigades under the garrison were used to setting up a heavy infantry battalion in an attempt to match the Chiyou warriors, that is, equipped with swords, long spears, and one of the bows and crossbows.

But limited to the physical fitness of the soldiers themselves, in fact, they have not been up to the standard.

At most, it was at the level of an elite spearman.

Taking advantage of this military expansion, Tang Jing simply canceled all the designations of each heavy infantry battalion, standardized and compliant the configuration of the infantry brigade, and divided them into two models: standard brigade and mixed brigade.

When the conditions are ripe in the future, consider forming a real heavy infantry battalion.

Because in the conditions set by Tang Jing, the most important criterion for judging a real heavy infantry is to be able to wear infantry armor.

Rather than ordinary armor.

After the military expansion.

The first division and the second division each have a heavy cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades.

In the future, when the time is right, they can each add another infantry brigade.

It is equivalent to leaving some vacancies.

In addition, the city guard brigade, which was originally attached to the garrison division, will also be upgraded to a new garrison division this time.

The original seven battalions were expanded into seventeen battalions, namely four bed crossbow battalions, four elite crossbowman battalions, four elite archer battalions, four elite spear battalions and one coastal defense battalion.

In addition to the coastal defense battalion, they are evenly assigned to the four main city gates of Chang'an City.

Zhang Liao, the former brigade commander of the Shaking Mountain Brigade, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the garrison division, with Tu Gang and Yunhe as deputy generals.

The last war has shown—

Compared with defending the city, Tu Hong, the former brigade commander of the City Guard Brigade, is more suitable for leading his troops to charge into battle.

So they swapped with Zhang Liao.

Unlike Tu Hong, Zhang Liao had been guarding Hefei for a long time in history. He was a military general with both offensive and defensive skills, and he had rich combat experience, so he was obviously more suitable for the post of the garrison commander.

It's not like rushing ducks to the shelves.

The first division, the second division and the garrison division are combined together to form the City Guard Corps.

of course.

The current City Guard Corps is just an empty title, with neither a leader nor a headquarters.

Symbolism is bigger than reality.

After a round of military expansion, counting the independent patrol battalion, it is equivalent to expanding 31 battalions in one go. Although it is still nine short of the goal of [-] battalions, it is basically enough.

Follow-up, if necessary, a new round of reorganization will be carried out.

Before the meeting, Qin Shuang, director of the Military Affairs Administration, did some calculations, "In this round of expansion, the total transfer fee for the first-tier infantry is 15500 gold coins, and the total cost for the second-tier infantry and cavalry transfer is 88000 gold coins."

The job transfer fee alone is more than [-] gold coins.

In order to meet the equipment requirements of sword and shield soldiers, elite spearmen, elite archers and heavy cavalry, a total of 15000 sets of armor, 3000 shields, 18000 swords, 7000 long spears, 4000 horses, and 3000 bows are required. There are 1500 arm crossbows and 45 bed crossbows.

Elf Mia brought five thousand war bows before.

Dwarf Bag brought seven thousand sets of armor and shields worth 3000 yuan.

Coupled with the huge inventory accumulated by the Ordnance Institute, there are still gaps in armor, swords and spears.

Especially Iron Armor.

Before the Ordnance Institute built enough iron armor, some of the elite archers who had completed the job transfer could only fight in leather armor.

The production capacity of the God Arm Crossbow and Bed Crossbow is seriously insufficient, and it needs to be replenished gradually.

This can be seen.

Military expansion has never been something that can be solved with money and people.

And that's just weaponry.

After the new round of military expansion, each recruit will be given at least one pair of leather boots, one pair of cloth shoes, two sets of cloth clothes, one towel, one bedding and one marching rucksack.

It is also necessary to distribute tents in units of teams, and configure five cooks and handymen.

Battalion level.

Staff officers, food and grass officers, clerks, messengers, medical soldiers, etc. should also be deployed.

Next, the Military Affairs Department is busy.
