Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

In 1111, the Liangshan rebels once again achieved great development.

Not only did a large number of heroes and good men come to vote, but also recruited a large number of young and strong.

The Liangshan rebels’ sphere of influence had expanded from Shuibo to several nearby prefectures.

Although the Liangshan rebels did not attack the county or prefecture towns, the vast rural areas were already under the control of the Liangshan rebels.

Under the suppression of the Liangshan rebels, landlords everywhere were not only robbed of their family property that they had accumulated over the years. Even had to comply with Liangshan’s request to reduce the land rent by 30%.

This has greatly reduced the pressure on the broad masses of the people. The living situation has also been greatly improved.

This also makes the common people grateful to the Liangshan rebels.

When the Liangshan rebels wanted to recruit people, it was easier.

The current Liangshan rebel army, after many expansions, has become stronger.

The first is the infantry army, which has been expanded to ten corps, that is, 25,000 men. In addition to the First Army and the Second Army stationed on Liangshan, four dry villages were set up in the east, west, south and north of Shuipo, and two corps were deployed each.

In addition to this, the Ma Army was formed.

Although the price of military horses was high, Wusong still gritted his teeth and bought a batch and armed an entire army, that is, 2,500 cavalry.

Moreover, these cavalry are different from the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Song deliberately turned these cavalry into heavily armored cavalry.

Not only the soldiers were covered in heavy armor, but even the war horses under their crotches were also covered with heavy armor.

Similar to the ‘Tiefutu’ cavalry of the Jinguo people in the future.

You know, the reason why the Jurchens were able to quickly defeat the powerful Liao State relied on this iron-armored cavalry. Although the endurance is not strong, the impact is extremely strong. In battle, light cavalry simply could not withstand the charge of such heavy cavalry.

Each cavalryman is equipped with a knightly spear four or five meters long, as well as a sabre, and an improved crossbow.

Among them, the knight’s spear is a disposable consumable, which will break after hitting the target, avoiding the strong impact force and causing injury to the knight’s arm.

After the knight’s spear was broken, the cavalry drew his saber and fought.

The divine arm crossbow used by the cavalry, after the greatest improvement, greatly reduced the range and weight, so that the cavalry can easily use it on the horse. Although the firing range was reduced to one hundred and twenty steps, that is, one hundred and eighty meters. The effective firing range was sharply reduced to 80 steps, that is, 120 meters. But compared to the bows and arrows used by nomadic cavalry, the range is already much higher. At the same time, the power is much greater.

The only drawback is that the rate of fire is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow. Even after continuous improvement, the rate of fire is only half or even a third of that of a bow and arrow.

That is, the bow and arrow shoot two or three arrows, and the divine arm crossbow can shoot one arrow.

However, the advantage in range allowed the Liangshan cavalry to inflict great damage on the enemy in the first round of firing.

In fact, when the war horse charges at high speed, the cavalry often only has such a chance to shoot.

After firing the crossbow arrow, the cavalry will lower the crossbow and launch the first round of attacks with the knight’s spear.

After inflicting a second round of casualties on the enemy with a knight’s spear, he slashes with his sabre. ，

The cavalry was undoubtedly the treasure of the Liangshan rebels, and Wu Song also made Lin Chong, the most trusted commander of the Ma army.

The ten corps of the infantry army were all commanded, and the first army was concurrently served by Wu Song, which had always been the absolute main force of the Liangshan infantry army. The commander of the Second Army was Lu Zhishen. The commander of the Third Army was Yang Zhi. The commander of the Fourth Army was Du Qian. The commander of the Fifth Army was Yan Shun. The commander of the Sixth Army was Mu Hong. The commander of the Seventh Army was Shi Jin. The commander of the Eighth Army was Shi Xiu. The commander of the Ninth Army was Yang Xiong. The commander of the Tenth Army was Shi En.

In addition to this, there are trolls.

At present, the Liangshan Water Army, which has also been cracked down on development, has established two armies.

The First Army of the Water Army had Li Jun as the commander of the military capital, and the second army was led by Ruan Xiaoer as the commander of the military capital.

Even, in Wusong’s plan, the water army will be further expanded, at least four corps, so that the strength of the water army will reach about 15,000 people.

Even so, Liangshan had a total of 2,500 horse troops, 25,000 foot troops, and 5,000 water troops.

The total strength of the troops has reached 32,500 men.

In addition, these troops are not bandits who raid homes and houses, but formally trained soldiers.

In particular, the ten corps of the infantry army have been training in large phalanx tactics. The powerful phalanx formed by the cooperation of spearmen and crossbowmen will be a great threat to any enemy.
