In the exciting and surging Yunfeng Wuyi, Zhao Jun awarded the six new armies their titles and flags in turn.
From the top four armies, that is, the four armies of Yunhui, Yunyao, Yunting and Yunxiang, which are mostly composed of old-school escorts.
Generals Yun Jiang and Yun He, who were mostly composed of new soldiers, that is, the new army with veterans as commanders at all levels of the intermediate force, were awarded titles and flags by Zhao Jun in full view of the public.
Since then, the Guards, who used to live off the big pot, finally embarked on the road of regularization and independent military formation, and looked like a real regular army.
Now, the main generals of the four armies are Li Erniu of the Yunhui Army, Lu Guangtian of the Yunyao Army, Feng Bin of the Yunting Army, and Wu Jian of the Yunxiang Army.
The next two armies are Tang Liang of the Yunjiang Army and Chang Wan of the Yunhe Army!
These six people are now the six generals with the highest military rank under Zhao Jun, except for Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning, who are at the first level.
Each of them commanded 50,000 people. Even in the Song Dynasty, they were still at the level of second- and third-grade generals!
But many of them have been promoted step by step from the army with their military exploits in the past two years. Compared with the Song Army in Guan, the combat effectiveness of these armies is definitely not the same as that of the Song Army even if they use the same weapons. The opponent of the state army.
This is determined by the spirit of the army. Since the Yunzhou Army was established until now, although there have been small defeats in the middle, it has never lost in large-scale battles.
This allowed everyone in the Yunzhou Army to build up the belief that they must win in battle after battle, and their morale was extremely high!
The combat effectiveness is naturally not low.
As for the armies in the Song Dynasty, they had long lost their morale in the frustrating defense of the city and retreating. Except for a few armies, most of the armies did not even dare to fight in the field with the Huns.
They could only huddle in the city and act like a turtle, and in many cases they were even worse than a turtle. The city was often breached by nomads like the Xiongnu.
Although there are traitors involved, even the traitors cannot be defended. Isn't this a sign of the incompetence of the city's general?
The experience between the two armies is completely polarized. Under this situation, the Song Army has long lost its original first-class combat effectiveness and has become a second- and third-rate army, bullying the rebels and rebellious people and even becoming a bandit and a road bully!
oh! wrong!
With the support of the local gentry, those bandits were much better equipped than the army. In addition, the mountain stronghold was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they did not have a numerical advantage, even the Song Dynasty army would not be their opponent.
Such an army is really extremely weak!
But the Yunzhou Army is not the same. Although they have been fighting with poisonous people recently, which seems a bit like adults bullying children, they have also been in a war. Moreover, the backbone of the army also fought against the Tatars head-on. A very ruthless character.
Even if the combat effectiveness of the expanded army with them as the backbone has been reduced, its superiority in weapons and combat effectiveness have not decreased but increased in the past two years of combat.
In any case, it is much stronger than the bird army of the Song Dynasty!
After the ceremony of awarding army numbers and flags, the Yunzhou Army began to disperse. Now that each army has finally been clearly divided, there are still many changes to be made in the army, and there is not so much time to carry them here.
After the army dispersed under their respective commanders, Zhao Jun and his entourage led Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning and a group of middle and senior military officers towards the Chinese army's tent at the Nanyun Campus.
On the way to the big tent, Zhao Jun asked about the current situation of the Yunzhou Army as he advanced.
"Old Ding, how is the situation in the armies now?
Are the soldiers still used to the sudden restructuring? "
Ding Hongguang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It is said to be a restructuring, but in fact it is just dividing the army into six parts. The organization of the army is still the same as before, and there has not been much change.
Even due to the restructuring, many people who have achieved sufficient military exploits but have to continue to be ordinary soldiers because there are no vacancies can be successfully promoted.
Although everyone is temporarily uncomfortable with the restructuring, they are still quite satisfied with the military's restructuring. "
Zhao Jun nodded: "That's good. Now that the war is imminent, if the combat effectiveness is reduced due to the reorganization of the army, it will be my fault."
After hearing the military's opinions on his restructuring, Zhao Jun asked about the equipment.
"By the way, there is also the equipment in the army. In the past few days, the equipment that has been damaged in the army and the equipment that should be replaced, as well as the horses that are missing from the cavalry and the complete set of equipment for the new recruits are there at the Arms and Logistics Department. Are all funds allocated?
Is there still a vacancy?
If there is something you don't need to avoid, just say it directly, and I can help you by urging you. Time is running out, so it would be good to have more time for familiarity and training. "
Ding Hongguang replied:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. With the industrial capacity of our Yunzhou County, we only have hundreds of thousands of sets of equipment. It will take not just three to four months, but two months to prepare it as long as there are enough raw materials." .
The only difficulty is the war horses. However, as Mr. Fan of the Grain Reserve Department uses spirits and tea bricks to trade with the small and medium-sized Tatar tribes outside the customs, war horses are delivered to the army every day, and now nine out of ten have been delivered. Okay, it will take about two days to complete the delivery.
And according to Master Fan, since there are enough things prepared, although the Liaoyun Pass is now closed and the supplies cannot come out, the extra supplies are enough to exchange for thousands of spare war horses and hundreds of supplies for the army. The army is a rogue who transports supplies. "
After hearing this, Zhao Jun understood and said with a smile: "Director Fan is still capable. When he agreed to this matter, I thought he would come to us for help with many things, but I didn't expect that besides purchasing supplies within the customs, The rest are going to discuss with the Tatar Khans in Yunzhou County one by one to let them go out to help make deals with the Tatars outside the customs.
Whether it was the series of chores that followed, he solved them all by himself.
His work ability can be said to be top-notch even in the entire Yunzhou County. "
"Haha, that's why Your Majesty gave him the opportunity to use it. Otherwise, if there is no chance, what will happen even if he has the ability.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.
With Your Highness's appreciation, Mr. Fan will naturally do his best. "
Zhao Jun smiled:
“That’s also the result of his own efforts.
Everyone has opportunities, but whether you can seize them or not depends on you. "
While talking, the group finally arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
The conversation between the two stopped there.
Everyone immediately filed into the big tent.
There are no changes in the main tent of the Chinese Army. The entire Nanyun Campus has expanded, but the main tent of the Chinese Army is still exactly the same as before. What changes have occurred in it.
After entering the tent, everyone sat down in order of status, and Zhao Jun naturally sat at the head of the table.
Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning sat on both sides.
After everyone was seated, Zhao Jundang immediately said: "
Now that the armies have been divided, it is already early September. According to the news I have received, the large Tatar troops have begun to gather in the southern grasslands.
Our brothers who were originally sent to do business in the southern grasslands are gradually retreating back in these days.
However, we can know from the information detected before their retreat that the number of people gathered by the Tatars in the southern grasslands this time was at least 300,000.
They have brought over most of the military forces currently available to the Tatars. This shows that the Tatars are bound to win over our Yunzhou County and the Liaodong Pass behind them.
This time, it is bound to be a fierce battle!
Although our Yunzhou County has reached 300,000 people, which is not much different from the Tatars, first of all, we are not all cavalry, but the Tatars are all, and we are not as good as the Tatars in terms of mobility.
Our only advantage is positional warfare. We must catch the Tatars by surprise at the beginning when they are not so defensive about us and cause them huge damage. Only in this way can we reduce the damage as much as possible in the subsequent battles. Stress and loss.
Otherwise, if I miss the opportunity, with the excitement of the Tatars and the vastness of the grassland, I will not be able to catch them even if I break my leg. At that time, I will inevitably be led by the enemy. "
"General Ding!"
Zhao Jun called out.
"The general is here!"
Ding Hongguang, who was sitting on the lower left, immediately stood up and responded!
"With the current weapons and equipment of our Yunzhou County, can we achieve a massive blow to the local effective forces in the first battle between the army and the Tatar army, so that the other side cannot lead us by the nose in subsequent battles?"
Ding Hongguang thought for a while and said decisively: "Your Majesty! Judging from the current number and equipment of our Yunzhou Army, we can cause a large number of casualties to the Tatars who do not understand our army in the first attack.
However, the number of Tatars was too large. This so-called large number of casualties was actually not too many in proportion to this number.
It is not feasible to restrict the mobility of the Tatar army.
But our Yunzhou County has a sharp weapon! I would like to ask the prince to give orders to produce as many of these things as possible before the war comes.
If we have this powerful weapon, then if our army has the advantage and prepares in advance, we will be able to confidently restrict the enemy forces within a certain range.
Once the enemy troops fall into our ambush, they have no possibility of escaping! "
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up slightly: "Oh! What kind of sharp weapon is it that has such an effect?"
Ding Hongguang slowly uttered three words: "Barbed wire!"
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud when he realized what he was doing.
Yes! Yes! They also have barbed wire!
This kind of thing was a great weapon against cavalry in previous lives!
In the presence of machine guns, these barbed wire fences were the cavalry's death line.
Although there are no machine guns now, the barbed wire can greatly limit the mobility of the cavalry.
If you set up an ambush in advance, wait for the enemy to enter the encirclement, and then pull up the ambush wire fence to surround them.
Then the enemy cavalry in Yuanzhong are the turtles in the urn. Let alone killing them, it is easy to capture them alive!
I actually forgot!
Yunzhou County has long had the ability to produce barbed wire.
It had been used against the Tatars for the first time, but due to production reasons and the number of escorts, it was only used for defense.
But with the current number of people in Yunzhou County and the output of Yunzhou County, it can be used as a weapon to limit the enemy's cavalry!
"Okay! I will immediately order the production of as much barbed wire as possible before the war and deliver it to the army.
But I have agreed that if you say anything today, I will treat you as if you are issuing a military order.
If you fail to give me the results I deserve even though I have given you enough equipment, I will hold you accountable! "
Ding Hongguang smiled nonchalantly, clasped his fists respectfully and said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! The barbed wire is in place, and the general will definitely give you a good fight, Your Majesty!"
"Is this true?"
"really!"
…
Today is a great day!
