The last three kingdoms

Chapter 701 Legion Reorganization
The reason why Liu Yin rushed to Tongguan was because he believed that the situation was getting out of hand. He originally thought that it would take some time for the chaos to happen, but now it seems that it is imminent, and the time is not waiting for me, Liu Yin Yin must be prepared in advance.

The real Wuhuluanhua happened in the Yongjia period more than 30 years later, so it is also called the Yongjia Rebellion. The Wuhuluanhua has a deep root, and the main reason is naturally to break away from the chaos of the Eight Kings in the Jin Dynasty. It doesn't matter, but it is undeniable that Liu Yuan played an important role in it. It is precisely because Liu Yuan is extremely ambitious and good at assessing the situation that he chose to act when the power of the Jin Dynasty was weakest.

Perhaps according to the current development track, after 30 years, the conditions for the Wuhu rebellion may have disappeared, and Liu Yuan would have little time to think about rebellion, but Liu Yuan is Liu Yuan after all, he is good at capturing all possible opportunities, In his view, the current domestic and foreign troubles in Jin is the best opportunity for the Xiongnu to raise troops. As expected, Liu Yuan rebelled without hesitation.

Perhaps Liu Yuan didn't even realize what a magnificent wave his actions would cause on the land of the Central Plains. With all the responses, disputes arose, and the real chaos was about to come to the world.

Liu Yin arrived at the front line of Tongguan, and the news of the rebellion in Bingzhou had reached Tongguan. The good news created favorable conditions for the Shu army to counterattack the Central Plains. After Liu Yin arrived in Tongguan, all the generals asked for orders one after another, all vying to lead troops to the expedition.

After repelling the Jin army's three-way attack, the defensive pressure on the front line of Guanzhong dropped significantly, and Liu Yin also took the opportunity to reorganize the army.

In addition to the defensive forces in various places in Yongliang, Liu Yin re-divided the five field armies in front, back, left, and right.The basic formation of the Shu army remained unchanged. Unlike the three-three formation often used by later generations of armies, the army of the Han Dynasty always adopted a two-five formation. The second team is one village, the fifth village is one song, the second song is one army, the fifth team is one battalion, and the second battalion is one army.

Existence is reasonable. This formation has been used from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms Period. In the era of cold weapons, this formation method is more scientific and reasonable, and can maximize the combat power of the army. Therefore, Liu Yin has never responded to this formation. Any changes to the military system.

The only shortcoming is that the army level is the highest tactical unit (at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was more ridiculous, the Ministry was the highest combat unit, think about how much can 1000 people do in troubled times?), and an army only With an establishment of 1 people, perhaps in general regional operations, one army can play a role, but in large-scale battles, such an army establishment is a bit weak, often requiring multiple armies or even Dozens of armies are fighting together. Since there is no clear affiliation relationship between them, how to command these armies to fight together will become a difficult problem.

This time, Liu Yin's reorganization was reformed to address this problem. After the western expedition to Liangzhou, the number of troops under Liu Yin's command expanded rapidly. On the first level, a legion was set up, and three legions were set up, left, middle and right.

Liu Yin served concurrently as the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Corps, and Huang Chonglai served as the deputy commander-in-chief. The Central Army Corps consisted of three armies: the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Tiger Infantry Army, and the Yong'an Army. There are two battalions under the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Tiger Cavalry Left Camp and the Tiger Cavalry Right Camp, the Tiger Cavalry Army has the Hubu Left Camp and the Hubu Right Camp, the Yong'an Army has the Yongan Left Camp and the Yongying Right Camp, and Deng Pu et al. After being promoted from battalion officer to guard army, all battalion officers were promoted from the next level of school lieutenant Sima according to their merits.

Fu Qian and Qianhong served as the chief and deputy governors of the Left Army Corps. There were five armies under the Left Army Corps: Wudang Fei Army, Yang'an Army, Baidi Army, Longxi Army and Guanzhong Army, respectively led by Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo, Zhuge Shang, Deng Zhong and Ma Rong served as the generals of the army, and each army also had two battalions under its jurisdiction.

Luo Xian and Wang Qi served as the chief and deputy governors of the Right Army. Compared with the mixed infantry and cavalry formation of the Central Army and the pure infantry system of the Left Army, the Right Army was all composed of cavalry. There are names, but they are named after Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Qilin. Each army has 1 people, and each has two battalions. The names and numbers of each battalion are arranged from the first battalion to the tenth battalion.The guard generals of each army were Deng Pu, Fu Mu, Lu Xun, Xun Kai, and Zhou Xulai.

Through reorganization, the field army of the Shu army has increased from five armies to thirteen armies, and the total force has also expanded to 13. Compared with when Liu Yin's Northern Expedition arrived in Longxi, it has increased by as much as 10. Moreover, this number does not include the [-] to [-] garrison troops in each county. The total number of troops in the entire Yongliang area has even exceeded the total strength of the Shu Han in its heyday. Although it is still impossible to equalize with the Jin State, the gap has been significantly narrowed. Compared with the Wu State, it has not fallen behind. The pattern of the world, with the stability of the Shu State in the Yongliang area, has quietly occurred. qualitative change.

What's even more powerful is that the right army of the Shu army is composed entirely of cavalry, plus the tiger cavalry army in the middle army, the number of cavalry in the Shu army has reached 6, which is close to half of the overall force. This is completely unimaginable, and this is exactly the huge effect brought about by the Shu army's capture of Yongliang. It is precisely because Yongliang is a base for horse production that the Shu army has the opportunity to form such a large-scale cavalry. At the same time, all war horses are equipped with high bridge saddles, bilateral stirrups and horseshoes. The adoption of these new harnesses has brought the combat power of the Shu army to a new level.

Yongliang and Bingzhou were the bases that the Wei and Jin relied on to maintain their cavalry strength, and the state of Jin, which lost its horse-producing land, would inevitably lose its strength. Every time the Jin army lost a horse, it would lose one horse and could no longer replenish it. As far as war horses are concerned, this army, which used to be known as the invincible cavalry in the world, will definitely be reduced to a second-class army.

The new structure brings new challenges. Now that the Shu army has been reorganized and rested for more than half a year, its fighting spirit is high, its morale is high, and its desire to fight is strong. Once this tiger and wolf army enters the Kanto, it is bound to set off A new storm will completely change the situation of the world.
