Chapter 20 Introduction to the Powerhouse
Sure enough! The moment the three-tone drum stopped, standing at the front of the army, several generals who had been paying attention to Yang Song stepped forward one by one, clasped their fists and saluted.
"Report! Di Qing, commander of the infantry brigade under your command, comes to see the lord!" The leader, a middle-aged man with a serious face, stepped forward and saluted Yang Song with clasped fists.
"Commander of the subordinate infantry brigade Lu Su, please see the lord!" Then a person next to him reported to the queen.
"See you, Lord!~" All the officers and soldiers present saluted in unison!
"No courtesy!" Yang Song finished his words.
"Wow~" The neat movements carried a majestic and shocking momentum! Indescribably crisp and neat!
"Thank you for your hard work! You came to this world! From now on, I hope to work with you and me to protect our country and our new home!" Yang Song did not have a long speech, he only said what was on his mind.
…
Di Qing, also known as Hanchen, was born in Xihe, Fenzhou. He was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was born in a poor family and joined the army at a young age. He had tattoos on his face and was good at riding and shooting. He was known as "General Nirvana". During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, he moved to Yanzhou to command the envoys due to his military exploits.
. Brave and good at planning. During the Song and Xia wars, he charged into battle with disheveled hair, wore a bronze mask, and made outstanding military exploits. He made friends with famous ministers Yin Zhu, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and others. Fan Zhongyan was awarded "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" and was awarded the title "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals".
Study hard and master the art of war.
Because of Song Renzong's kindness regardless of his origin, he did not get rid of his scars, so now that he has come to this world, without Song Renzong, the tattoos on his face will also be gone!
Lu Su, courtesy name Zijing, Han nationality, native of Dongcheng County, Linhuai County, was an outstanding strategist and diplomat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. A famous figure during the Three Kingdoms period, the most famous is his various activities in the Battle of Chibi! Sun Quan dedicated his life to Lu Su
The post of captain of the Zan Army was established. After Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion during his lifetime and ordered Lu Su to lead 4,000 troops on Zhou Yu's behalf. Because Lu Su managed the army well, the army quickly grew to more than 10,000 people. It can be said that at that time,
The staff officers of the first brigade are a bit humbled!
Yang Song sat on the main seat of the command post in the military camp. He first said to Zhang Wei: "Let's lift the alert!" After Zhang Wei asked a personal guard to pass the order, he said to Di Qing and Lu Su: "Introduce the situation of the infantry brigade."
While listening to the introduction, I looked at the biographies of the two people in front of me from the system. They are all historical celebrities! Di Qing is a famous general in the Song Dynasty. Although he is not as famous as Yue Fei, he still has a lot of emphasis in history books. Lu Su is
Not to mention, everyone who has watched "Red Cliff" knows how outstanding his wisdom and vision are, and he is proficient in military affairs, more than enough to serve as a staff officer!
I quickly read the introduction and listened to Di Qing in front of me introduce the situation of this infantry brigade.
"For your information, Lord, the infantry brigade under my command has a total of 3,500 officers and soldiers." Di Qing stood up and clasped his fists. Yang Song nodded and told him to sit down and report.
"Lord, the infantry brigade is composed of three battalions. Each battalion can fight alone, which is also the smallest battle formation. And each battalion is composed of three formations. Each formation is composed of three brigades, and a formation is a battle formation.
.Each group consists of three squadrons, each squadron consists of three squads, each squad consists of twelve people."
After Di Qing finished his report, Lu Su on the side made detailed supplements as a staff officer, stood up, saluted, sat down and said.
"For the information, Lord, the 3,500 people are all the officers, big and small, including Brigadier Di Qing and me. The brigade headquarters is the soldiers directly under the Brigade Commander and me. There are 200 people, including a brigade of 10,800
It is composed of well-known sentries, as well as messengers, doctors, personal guards and others." Lu Su paused at this point, and continued to introduce after Yang Song nodded to express his understanding.
"There are now two battalions and three formations in this conventional infantry brigade. The three formations are an artillery formation, a light cavalry formation, and a long-distance attack formation. The artillery formation consists of two field artillery brigades and a
The siege artillery brigade consists of fifty-four field artillery and eighteen siege artillery. The light cavalry formation consists of three light cavalry brigades, and the long-distance attack formation consists of three long-distance attack brigades." Lu Su explained the three
The composition of the military formation.
“The two battalions are a regular battalion and a heavy-armed battalion. The regular battalion consists of a regular troop formation, a long-range offensive troop formation, an artillery brigade, a siege brigade, and a light cavalry brigade; the heavy-armed battalion consists of a heavy cavalry brigade.
It is composed of a heavy cavalry formation, a heavy cavalry brigade, a long-distance attack brigade, and a light cavalry brigade." Yang Song listened carefully to Lu Su's detailed explanation.
"Below the battalion is the composition of the formation. The formation is the battle formation and the meaning of the military formation. The regular military formation consists of a close combat brigade, a heavy equipment brigade, and a long-range attack brigade; the long-range attack formation has three long-range attack brigades; the heavy-arms unit
The formation has three heavy cavalry brigades; the heavy cavalry formation has three heavy cavalry brigades." After introducing the organization and composition of the formation, it should be followed by the introduction of the brigades.
really!
"Below the formation is the brigade. The brigade includes melee brigade, heavy armor brigade, crossbow brigade, artillery brigade, siege brigade, light cavalry brigade, and heavy cavalry brigade. Among these brigade, in addition to melee brigade and long-range attack brigade,
The others are all composed of the same three squadrons. The close combat brigade is composed of a sword and shield squadron, a spearman squadron and a heavy infantry squadron; the long range attack brigade is composed of two strong crossbow squadrons and a company crossbow squadron.
"It seems that the establishment at the bottom level is very simple, and the establishment at the intermediate level is more complicated, but the lower the level, the more types of arms there are.
"Each squadron is also composed of three identical squads. There is no special case of multi-arms combination. Each squad has twelve people! Whether it is an artillery squad or a heavy cavalry squad. Each squad of the field artillery squad has three field artillery.
The siege artillery squad has two long-range siege guns." Lu Su paused at this introduction and thought carefully about what other units needed to be highlighted: "By the way, the Liannu squad is equipped with the Zhuge Liannu
, although the range is relatively short, the rate of fire is very fast and can deliver a powerful blow to the charging enemy!"
Yang Song thought that the introduction was almost complete, and said: "Let each type of squad send a team to the military training field, and let's go and see together." He wanted to see the equipment of each squad!
"Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements now." Di Qing took the order at this time, and then went out to make arrangements in person.
After seeing Di Qing go out, Yang Song probably wasn't that quick, so he said to Lu Su, please give me a detailed introduction to the army's artillery and why the infantry brigade is organized like this?"
"Yes, Lord! The whole brigade has a total of eighty-one field artillery and thirty-six siege artillery. The artillery is all mounted on a two-wheeled gun mount. The field artillery weighs 600 kilograms, has a caliber of 90 millimeters, and a range of
Up to 1,200 meters, equipped with explosive shells and solid shells, and can be loaded with shot shells at short range. Each field artillery is equipped with two horses, and each field artillery team is equipped with a transport carriage to transport ammunition; the siege artillery is heavy
It weighs 1,200 kilograms, has a caliber of 120 millimeters, and a range of up to 2,100 meters. It is equipped with explosive shells and solid shells. Each siege artillery is equipped with four horses. Each siege artillery is equipped with four horses.
Each team is also equipped with a transport carriage." Lu Su explained the artillery in the army in detail.
Seeing that Yang Song expressed his understanding, he went on to explain the basis for the organization of the army: "A brigade is an army organization unit above a battalion, and a battalion is the standard size of a camp when it is stationed. The army pays attention to standardization, which can effectively avoid logistical chaos and
The most important thing is to benefit and control the army, and it also allows the commander to better understand the power in his hands and be aware of himself!" Lu Su first explained the importance of the army's organizational standards, and then began to explain the reasons for the organization of the army's arms.
"Lord, the establishment of the standard infantry brigade is based on adaptability to various battlefields, which means it highlights the adaptability. There are no other characteristics or obvious flaws. If you want to talk about the advantages, it is that the equipment is medium-sized.
There are relatively many long-range attack weapons, which are compiled based on the theory that they can inflict more hits on the enemy before close contact, reduce their effective strength, deter the enemy, and reduce the enemy's morale!" Lu Su said.
He came up with a military theory that stunned Yang Song. This was a tactical theory that did not exist in ancient China.
"If the enemy's army is not elite enough, it is possible that one round of shelling will cause it to collapse on its own. Of course, if the enemy's army is elite enough, the infantry brigade is equipped with ultra-long-range attack artillery, long-range attack crossbows, and medium-range attack
The attacking repeated crossbows and the final close-range spear thrust, the heavy shield to defend against the impact, and the sword and shield soldiers filled the gap in close combat, leaving the enemy with no opportunity to take advantage!" Finally, Lu Su briefly told him the fighting methods on the battlefield, telling him
The image of the two armies facing each other, the commander giving the order to charge, then charging forward together, and then fighting into a melee is completely different!
This really surprised Yang Song. The cold weapon wars he had seen in movies and TV shows before were not so orderly. What he saw most was a chaotic group, fighting on their own, and whoever had the fastest sword would win. Now
Lu Su just gave him a brief explanation of the current combat methods of the army, and he could imagine how miserable it would be for the enemy army to encounter the infantry brigade!
Yang Song also knows that war in reality is not so ideal, and it is the commander's role to make different adjustments according to different war situations!
Based on his impression of the army and the army led by the two commanders of the territory, Yang Song praised: "It really puts our own people at ease. The enemy is afraid of the army. The establishment standards are also very advanced. It is really impeccable!"
"Report, all teams have been assembled, General Di Qing asked the lord to come and inspect!" A messenger came in from outside the door and reported.
"Let's go, Zijing, now go see if this army is as good as you said!" Yang Song joked with a smile on his face.
Lu Su also had a smile on his face: "Don't worry, lord, they can only speak much more powerfully than their subordinates, and the subordinates' words can only describe it so far. If given the chance, they will definitely shine on the battlefield!"
"Although Lu Su was smiling, his tone was quite proud of this army.
"Well, then I'm really relieved!" Yang Song confirmed easily and firmly.
Chapter completed!
