Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 83-Equality
Each infantry phalanx is composed of 400 people according to the previous regulations, including more than ten people including the principal and deputy platoon leaders, drummers, and standard bearers.

In addition, there are 240 spearmen and 150 archers.

Now Master Lu is studying the musket blueprint provided by Changsheng, hoping to transform the cannon into a musket that infantry can carry with him.

In this way, once the musket is developed, the combat effectiveness of this infantry policy will step up to a new level. At that time, Changsheng can't imagine who else can be his opponent in this era.

Of course, this is theoretical, everything has to wait for the actual situation to test.

The cavalry consisted of more than 400 soldiers. In addition to the 100 soldiers, there were also more than [-] auxiliary soldiers. They were mainly engaged in work such as mowing grass and feeding horses, so that the soldiers could get enough rest.

In addition to the above-mentioned regular establishment, Changsheng also has an artillery company.The regular number is also 300, equipped with six three-pound guns and two newly developed six-pound guns, a total of eight gun groups, each group has a team leader, gunner and gunner four.

The gunner and gunner are all selected from experienced tomb robbers and Feng Shui masters.In addition, there are six porters who are responsible for moving weapons and ammunition, two blacksmiths who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of parts, four coachmen, and six large shield soldiers who are responsible for the damage of enemy long-range weapons.

The treatment of soldiers is higher than that of other arms, for example, there will be an extra piece of mutton in their meals...

So here comes the trouble. Xiao Feng, the newly appointed commander of the artillery battalion, insists on counting all 300 artillerymen as soldiers, even if they get blushed and thick necked with other officers, not only the soldiers holding the shields are soldiers Even the man who brushes the horses' backs insists on being a soldier.

Regardless of the outcome of the debate, the field troops in Changsheng's hands had begun to take shape, and she couldn't wait to test the power of this army.

But the staff officer Zhang Baozang expressed his disapproval: "My lord, I think your idea is difficult to realize. Of course, with our army's current firepower equipment, we can defeat 2000 or even 3000 enemy troops on the frontal battlefield. But our army's We already have a good reputation, and Western Turks or some of the Eastern Turks who are pro-Western will not be willing to confront the main force of our army of 2000 people head-on. And if we go deep into the northern desert and take the initiative, we may easily fall into thousands of people due to poor mobility. In the encirclement."

While the others were still thinking, Chang Sheng looked at Fang Xuanling, intending to listen to his thoughts.

"On this point, I agree with Chief of Staff Zhang's opinion." Seeing Chang Sheng looking over, Fang Xuanling said hastily: "If our whole army goes out, we will definitely need about 2000 auxiliary soldiers to accompany us, and the number of the entire army may be as large as [-]. More than [-] troops, pardon the incompetence of such a large number of troops, our Changsheng Battalion's secret operations cannot completely cover and block the news. Even if it takes more than two days, it will be difficult."

Changsheng also nodded. The 4000-strong army would take two days to prepare and reorganize before going out, and then stop and go on the road. The land in the northwest is so flat and open, with excellent vision.

If the enemy is not blind, he can always find his tracks. When you arrive at a strategic location, the enemy's reinforcements will have arrived long ago.Moreover, the consumption of 4000 people in the wild is not a small amount. If the enemy wants to avoid fighting like last time, the loss outweighs the gain.

So Zhang Baozang suggested again: "It's better to get rid of the ones in front of you first."

What Zhang Baozang said in front of his eyes was that he had extended all the way from the other side of the river dozens of miles away in the direction of Shanshan, and gradually formed a series of trends.

The meat around his mouth looked like he had to eat it.

"Okay, we will attack as soon as the river freezes," Chang Sheng said.

In February of the fifth year of Daye, the north wind roared past. When the water in the Yangshu River froze again, Changsheng secretly arranged for the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion to attack the enemy's outpost.

"I went to look for General Li just now. I heard that you came to the riverside to survey the terrain early in the morning, so I came here." Upon hearing this hearty voice, Changsheng didn't need to turn his head to know that Master Gao came back on time. coming.

Gao Ziran came to Changsheng on horseback, looked at the other side of the river like Changsheng, and saw a large group of people standing densely on the opposite side, and many of them were people dressed in Han Chinese.

Master Gao looked at it for a while, "General Li, what are the Turkic Tartars doing?"

"Afraid of our sneak attack, they are digging ice."

……

On the eighth day of February, the Longevity Camp.

There are not many extracurricular cultural activities in the Changsheng camp, so Changsheng asked them to sew a few cow blisters to make inner alchemy balls for him to play on the playground.

Those soldiers were playing in full swing. Many of them were shirtless in winter, and they were still steaming from top to bottom, which made the instructors in the instructor camp feel itchy.

But when they got to the field, they realized what had happened. The soldiers who had been beaten and scolded by them during training had now found a chance to retaliate.

After a few rounds, the instructors were beaten to pieces, with bruises and purple patches all over their bodies.Also, Changsheng has always emphasized the equality of officers and soldiers, so this kind of thing generally does not cause resentment, but virtually resolves the conflict between the two sides.

Master Gao came to a conclusion after watching the 11-a-side football match played by Changsheng for a long time. Although it is quite different from the polo in the capital, it looks much more intense and barbaric, but it seems to contain a lot of battle formations and truths , very learned.

He also wondered whether Changsheng used soldiers to fight wars based on this. Changsheng laughed and said nothing after listening to him. She was just worried that these people's hormones would have nowhere to vent, so she just found some channels for them to vent.

In addition, soldiers also have to take simple cultural courses at night. They must be able to write their own names, recognize simple characters, and be able to do simple math addition and subtraction. This is a rigid requirement for longevity.

After waking up in the morning, Chang Sheng also went to the cafeteria to have breakfast like soldiers. There are several group cafeterias in the barracks.

This is the most fair expression in the entire camp. No one is allowed to make loud noises in the cafeteria, nor is it allowed to make military salutes.

Except for tall men who occasionally eat in their own tents, all the officers and soldiers eat here.

Food is also divided according to the ranks of officers and soldiers and auxiliary soldiers: officers and soldiers who are married and have families can get an extra ration.All female soldiers and military family members can get pregnant women's nutritional meals specially prepared for them as long as they are pregnant, which is rich in protein and carbohydrates.

Several long snake-like teams were slowly moving forward, and Chang Sheng was also waiting for his breakfast inside.
