That day, Liu Yu discussed with his brothers until late at night, and finally decided on a countermeasure.
Among the soldiers belonging to the Sima of your own department, you must select suitable soldiers to become combat soldiers, and others who do not meet the requirements of combat soldiers as auxiliary soldiers.
No longer like the bandits and bandits of the past, who had to have a fixed army, regular drills, and military discipline rewards and punishments, Liu envisioned building at least a decent army.
Just when Liu Yu was full of ambition and planned to implement the New Deal in the entire army the next day, Liu Bogen's order interrupted Liu Yu's plan.
Early that morning, Liu Bogen summoned the generals to march forward immediately.
Because Liu Bogen received a message from the Beihai Kingdom's Taoist Taoists, the Jin court's Beihai Kingdom army had set off from Pingshou, the capital of the Beihai Kingdom, two days ago, and was about to march eastward to join up with the Chengyang County soldiers who had arrived in Jiaodong County, and then Joint attack on Liu Bogen.
There are about 10,000 Beihai soldiers coming from the west, and more than 15,000 Chengyang County soldiers coming from the south. In addition, the private troops of powerful families recruited along the way. If the two Jin soldiers merge, the enemy army will The total number will reach more than 40,000.
The total number of Donglai rebels is now barely 30,000. Although there are more than 6,000 armored soldiers among them, they do not become qualified soldiers after putting on armor. Most of them lack training. The real soldiers The backbone force is still the old base of less than 10,000 people when Donglai raised troops.
Wang Mi immediately suggested that the two Jin armies should be defeated individually before they join forces, otherwise the Jin armies would have an overwhelming advantage in the field after joining forces.
Finally, Liu Bogen, Wang Mi and others decided to attack the Chengyang County soldiers in Jiaodong County first. The road from Jiaodong to Danglilu Township was smooth. If they attacked the Northern Navy first from the west, they would be easily attacked from behind by the Chengyang Army, and there were many enemies in Jiaodong City. The secret disciples of Shaotian Shidao will secretly respond when the time comes.
As for the Northern Navy, if they want to come over, they need to go all the way through Weishui and Glue. The Donglai Army can send a force of troops and horses to march westward lightly. If it is fast, it can rely on the swollen rivers in the spring rain to hinder the Northern Navy. Even if it is slow, it can occupy Glue, keep the ferry of glue.
Finally, Liu Bogen and Wang Mi led the entire army south to attack Jiaodong, and the task of advancing westward to Pinghe and blocking the attack was given to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu commanded one thousand soldiers from Sima's subordinates, and also allocated one thousand soldiers from Liu Bogen's Tianshi Taoists to Liu Yu, for a total of two thousand people.
After receiving the order, Liu Yu quickly arrived at the Sima camp of the other department. Dong Ping, Li Feng, Zhao Xiazi and others received the order and began the noisy decampment of the entire team.
Liu Yu stood on a high platform in the camp and looked at the nearly a thousand people below who were moving in a chaotic manner. By the time everyone had packed up their weapons, clothes, packages, armor, tents, flags, drums, rations and other things, time had passed. More than an hour.
And at this time, everyone did not line up, but gathered in piles around Dong Ping, Li Feng and other leaders.
Liu Yu looked at it and shook his head, thinking that he must take this opportunity to lead the army independently to train this group of rabble.
Later, Liu Yu counted the entire army, and there were a total of 968 people. Among them, there were only 22 mounted cavalry plus Liu Yu. There were 300 armored infantry. The rest were all unarmored soldiers, but they had sufficient weapons. , spears, rings, swords, swords, swords are all ready.
As for the archers, only Liu Yu and Dong Pingping, a dozen or so people in the army, knew how to bow and arrow.
By the time the entire army set off, it was almost noon.
Fortunately, civilians at this time were accustomed to eating two meals a day, one for breakfast in the morning and one for feeding in the evening, so there was no need for lunch time.
Otherwise, Liu Yu really didn't know if these thousand people would be able to leave the city today.
After the entire army came out from the west city gate, Liu Yu ordered to organize in the open space according to the formation of brigade, team, team and corps.
According to the army organization in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the entire army was divided into five brigades, each brigade had four teams, and each team had five teams.
Under the urging of the leaders, who were scolded and kicked, the nearly 1,000 people managed to finish in separate rows.
Liu Yu then rode on his horse and conducted several more dispersed and assembled drills. After practicing for half an hour, the whole army had some idea of its formation.
At this time, about a thousand soldiers in rags and rags poured out of the west city gate. These were the training soldiers Liu Bogen had added to Liu Yu.
In front of a thousand religious soldiers, two cavalrymen rushed to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu recognized these two people as Zhang Hu and Tan Xu, Liu Bogen's subordinates.
"Shiro, I've brought all my sons here, and we're ready to go."
Zhang Hu said carelessly that although Liu Yu's status is now higher than the two of them, Zhang Hu feels that he is Liu Bogen's confidant. Today, he is obviously helping Liu Yu with Tan Xu, but in fact he is acting as a supervisor.
"Okay, Dong Ping, you take the people and assign the new auxiliary soldiers to various brigades, and the auxiliary soldiers will transport the food for the first tent." Liu Yu ordered.
"What! These are brothers from the cult, not auxiliary soldiers." Zhang Hu clearly objected. If all the cult members were dispersed and served as auxiliary soldiers in Liu Yu's brigade, wouldn't he, the leader, become Single.
"Yes, although these religious brothers don't have armor, they are all Xingdao soldiers blessed by Yin Gong Dao." Tan Xu also expressed his objection.
When Liu Bogen raised his army, he used the Taoism of the Heavenly Master to confuse the believers, and a large number of refugees were called "Xingdao soldiers".
"These people don't even have armor, have never been on the battlefield, and are not auxiliary soldiers. Do we really expect them to fight when the time comes to engage the enemy?" Liu Yu said.
"Liu Yu, your wings are too stiff. Are you going to annex Duke Ying's headquarters?" Zhang Hu said fiercely.
"I am doing this to keep the soldiers strong enough to fight in battle, to block the North Sea pirate army, and to protect Duke Yin's flanks."
Liu Yu was not worried about Zhang Hu going to complain at all. Liu Bogen didn't care at all about the refugee army, which was just like a thousand beggars. Nowadays, there is famine and war, and as long as there is food, these refugees can be as many as they want.
Liu Yu knew that Zhang Hu was also selfish and wanted to win over a group of his confidants so that he could get more benefits when sharing the credit for future plunders.
"Besides, we are going to war now. When we return after the victory, you two will still lead the Xingdao soldiers back to the headquarters of Duke Yong." Liu Yu decided to give them a hope to avoid unnecessary complications.
In fact, Zhang Hu and Tan Xu were quite afraid of Liu Yu's bravery. Although Liu Yu was unreasonable, the army only valued force. In fact, if he really wanted to make trouble in front of Liu Bogen, Liu Yu might not be punished.
After hearing what Liu Yu said, Tan Xu had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, but it depends on Sima's orders."
Immediately, these thousand people were assigned to various brigades as auxiliary troops, taking on most of the burden of transportation.
As for the auxiliary soldiers who were treated like coolies, these refugees had some complaints at first. When they heard that the auxiliary soldiers only needed to carry baggage and did not need to fight in battle, most of the auxiliary soldiers felt that they were not tired and tired. No matter what, after all, there is no need to go into battle and fight hard.
Zhang Hu and Tan Xu also heard the rhetoric of Liu Yu's men, but they cursed these refugees in their hearts for being stupid. When it comes time to fight, it is certain to put the refugees in front to rush into the battle and consume them. These stupid mud-legged people , I believe all this nonsense.
