During the Jiajing period, the recruitment of soldiers also began to have a formal establishment-the camp and sentry system.
Generally speaking, the military system for recruiting soldiers will be changed according to the actual situation, and it varies from region to region.
Later, when Qi Jiguang was transferred to Jizhen to train troops, the camp and sentry system in the north was basically formulated in accordance with the army he formulated.
There are twelve people in a team, and each team has one captain; three teams form one flag, and each flag has one flag, and there are thirty-seven officers and soldiers in the flag.
The three flags are a bureau, each bureau has one hundred and one person, a total of 112 people; the four bureaus are a division, and each department has one commander, a total of 449 people.
The two departments are divided into one department, and each department has one thousand generals, for a total of 899 people.
The three divisions form a battalion, with one general, one mid-level officer, and one firearms commander. There are a total of 2,697 officers and soldiers under it, and the total number of the whole battalion is 2,700. However, this number is not fixed. , but floats between up and down.
When an army marches, flags are generally used as small units and bureaus are used as large units.
Once there is an attack on the march, the duty of the captains of each team is to restrain the soldiers, and the flag general needs to lead the troops closer to the direction of the bureau's general commander as soon as possible.
Shouts, golden trumpets, and marching drums resounded in the sky above the official road. Although the Ming troops on the official road did not see any enemies, they were all alert and did not dare to neglect for a moment.
"Bang!!!"
A loud noise suddenly sounded, like thunder exploding in Chen Wang's ears.
Suddenly, countless flags were raised on the hills on both sides.
"kill!"
The next moment, the deafening shouts of killing were rolling in.
“Herod————”
In the queue, the horses neighed.
Chen Wang held the reins tightly, controlled the frightened horse beneath him, and looked up.
A large black banner rises slowly from behind the low hills on the right.
Under the banner, tens of thousands of bandits in different clothes gathered into an endless black wave and poured down the hills.
The hillside that had been deserted and quiet just now on both sides was now filled with people!
The mountains and plains are filled with crowds of people, and the darkness is one after another, layer upon layer like locusts.
There were boiling voices from all directions, and countless chaotic sounds roared in Chen Wang's ears.
The deafening shouts of killing and the heavy sound of horse hooves were mixed together and came at the same time - that was the horse team of the bandits!
Along with the rumbling sound, on the low slopes on both sides, black waves poured down with an indomitable momentum.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Several loud noises suddenly sounded from the hillside, and the sky not far away suddenly turned black.
"Tiger Crouching Cannon!!"
The sharp-eyed servant cavalry saw the utensils placed on the high slope and shouted a warning.
But it was too late. The stone bullets fired by Tiger Crouching, accompanied by a large number of feather arrows, suddenly shot into the military formation not far in front of them.
Each time the Tiger Crouching Cannon is fired, it can be loaded with hundreds of small lead bullets or pebbles weighing five cents. It is topped with a large lead bullet or boulder bullet weighing about thirty taels. When fired, both large and small bullets fly out with a thunderous roar. , the lethality and radiation range are very large.
Screams, wails, and muffled sounds spread across the entire battlefield in an instant.
Although the Crouching Tiger Cannon does little damage to the armored units, it was originally invented to deal with the Japanese pirates of Shaojia. However, the Ming army was arrayed in an extremely dense formation at this time.
The bandit's Crouching Tiger Cannon was released condescendingly, and the two Ming troops at the front of the marching column immediately suffered a heavy blow.
Chen Wang saw with his own eyes that a flag general wearing military armor who was standing outside was hit by several stone bullets. He fell to the ground on the spot and never stood up again.
After all, the Crouching Tiger Cannon is a cannon. Within a certain range, even wearing iron armor cannot resist the stone bullets fired by the Crouching Tiger Cannon. If it hits the face directly from a medium to long distance, it can kill or injure the enemy.
Above the official line, the Ming army, which was still in a marching state before, was like a long snake.
Because of Chen Wang's timely reminder, the Ming army did not plunge into the entire pocket, and most of their bodies remained on the periphery of the pocket.
When the army marches, the generals usually do not walk at the front. In front of Chen Wang and others, there are soldiers from four bureaus. They form the front army of the army.
Although the casualties caused by the Crouching Tiger Artillery were not many, the blow to morale was not small. The morale of the soldiers in the two bureaus who were killed at the front had already fallen to the bottom.
At this time, Chen Wang finally understood the horror hidden under the seemingly plain words recorded in the history books.
"The thieves are surrounded by tens of thousands of horses, and the hedgehogs are gathering..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the Ming army's formation, the sound of marching and drumming became more and more rapid.
But the originally loud sound of the walking drums was now completely overwhelmed by the roar of the mountains and the tsunami of killing cries from all directions.
Compared with the latter, the former is as low and inaudible as a child's whisper.
The sound of the war drums showed that it had been suppressed, but the thumping sound was still in Chen Wang's ears. It was not the sound of the war drums, but the sound of his own heartbeat.
The handle of the knife in his hand did not give Chen Wang the slightest sense of security. His mind was almost blank, his throat was thirsty and he was extremely unbearable, and there was a cold feeling in his limbs.
It is true that there are not tens of thousands of bandits riding on them, but there are definitely tens of thousands of them.
Tens of thousands of bandits gathered into an endless black wave. Under the guidance of the black banner, they rolled down the low mountain ridge and rolled forward again.
As the vanguard, the bandits have covered the entire front, but the rear is still pouring over the mountains, seemingly endless, which makes people feel desperate.
The large group of bandits and horses were crossing the hilly slopes and rushing towards the official road. They were shouting words that were difficult to hear clearly and howling unscrupulously.
The horse's hooves hit the ground hard, and the knight on the horse was murderous. Amidst the sound of the tidal hoofs, smoke and dust filled the sky, almost covering the sky and the sun.
The number of thieves increased one after another, and they were distributed along the mountains and fields, sandwiched between two mountains, and surrounded them on the official road in the center.
The vibrations caused by the galloping war horses even caused the earth to resonate.
Chen Wang's face turned pale, and his heart slowly sank to the bottom.
He felt that he might have made the wrong bet this time.
Chen Wang was in a daze. Perhaps escaping from the military camp was the most correct choice. As long as he had a thorough plan, he might be able to escape safely.
Relying on his identity as a frontier soldier, joining the bandits will definitely receive a warm welcome, and even if it doesn't work out, he can become a team officer.
Following those famous figures from later generations, no matter what, I can live for more than ten years...
"Woo——————"
The low and familiar sound of the horn in his memory brought Chen Wang's thoughts back to the present world.
There was no time for him to continue to think wildly, and there were not so many ifs in this world.
Chen Wang raised his head and looked around. He didn't see the trumpeter playing the trumpet. He only saw Cao Wenzhao, who was still calm and composed.
Whether it was the enemy troops all over the mountains or the tsunami-like shouts from the mountains, Cao Wenzhao's expression did not waver in the slightest.
