Chapter 49 Dong Hu's Soldiers

Dong Hu did not ask why Liu Qi killed people and who they killed. This was the internal affairs of Jishishan before he made a decision, but he knew that these dead people must be bastards who wanted to cut off his head.

Jishishan has frequent battles. Anyone who can survive for ten years is at the level of a cavalry squad leader, cunning and keen. If you do not consider your temperament, you will have no problem in commanding the thousand cavalry.

Cavalry and infantry are very different. Although cavalry also have some formations, if compared with infantry, it is a big witch. Cavalry often follow the leader to charge in a swarm, or rush on the flanks, harass, or rush forward, which is nothing more than a frontal rush to avoid being blocked and trampling on their own people.

The cavalry generals are more cunning and keen, able to detect dangers or loopholes in the enemy, and fight and escape quickly; the infantry are more like stupid generals, guarding like stones, and being unbreakable; attacking like sharp blades, moving forward.

The work of the horse bandits in Jishishan is to loot, and they fight within themselves and fight constantly. They are all cunning. Dong Hu's brothers and sisters are still very immature and their experience in battle formations is far inferior to these guys. But at the same time, because they are too cunning, they join Dong Hu's direct camp for the first time. If they don't observe for a while, it will definitely not be possible.

The first brigade and the Jishi Mountain Cavalry formed the Qianqi Battalion of two brigades. In order to better integrate and avoid accidents, when heading to Lintao, Dong Hu brought the Qianqi Battalion with him.

When he went to Lintao, Da Ya and Kuwa stayed in Ganlang Valley. It was April of the fifth year of Guanghe, and it was the season of spring flowers. It was only two days after entering Lintao from Ganlang Valley. When he came to Hukou Fort and saw Sun Niu, the black man was grinning, as if Dong Hu had not seen the two thousand people behind him.

Sun Niu did not wait for Dong Hu to get off the horse, but came to the front three steps in two steps, looking like a dog-legged one.

"hehe……"

Dong Hu jumped off the war horse and pounded the Heita man's chest.

"That's not bad, your black bull has caught up with the first battalion!"

Sun Niu grinned and silly.

"hey-hey……"

"It's all big leaders who are good at it..."

He could not help but grin when he heard that he would flatter him.

“Not bad…”

"Ha ha……"

Dong Hu laughed to the sky. Anyone who saw the many soldiers under him would be happy and proud.

"Let us see how the soldiers you trained are. If you are not satisfied, we will hit you."

Sun Niu instantly raised his chest and raised his belly, looking solemn.

"We Hei Niu are not Hu San who can't stand the soldiers. The big leader is not here, and the brothers are not lazy!"

The preface was inconsistent with the latter, and the former rival Hu San was brought out, making the generals who knew the truth laugh.

"well……"

Dong Hu nodded and said, "If we are satisfied, we will be promoted to you. The Second Battalion will change it to the First Infantry Battalion of the Mercenary Legion, so that you can become a battalion general and a battalion commander!"

There are fifty people and one team, five squadrons and one squadron, two squadrons and one squadron. The organization of the first squadron is 500 people. Hukou Fort employs two thousand mercenaries and four brigades. If Dong Hu did not go to Baima Qiang, he would split it as soon as possible and form the fifth, sixth and seventh brigades, but Sun Niu has been in charge for half a year. If he wants to split it up again, he should be cautious.

For several months, Sun Niu has been a little worried and nervous, fearing that he would not be motivated, so he split the second brigade of two thousand people, and became a real old niu. He completely copied the trick he had just entered the camp. Before dawn, he pulled two thousand people to run in the mountains and forests, standing teams, military formations, etc. Anyway, how Dong Hu taught him, he completely copied it.

After the spring was warm and the snow melted, under the command of Daya, two thousand people dragged plows, rakes, and vegetation to open up land and farm, and farmed the Hukou Valley, which was ten miles long and three miles wide. Anyway, they strictly followed Dong Daya's instructions and did not dare to be negligent, for fear that Dong Hu would split the two thousand soldiers after he came back.

Sun Niu had participated in blocking the Ganlang Qiang formation and knew that it would be difficult for one squad to resist the crazy attacks of others head-on. Then Dong Hu forced himself to take over the command of the second squad in front of the formation. After suffering a loss, he thought about how to increase the soldiers all day long, and at least he had to be assigned to six squads.

He was worried and nervous all day long. After hearing Dong Hu asked him to be a battalion general with two thousand soldiers, he was ecstatic and slapped his chest with a "dongdong" sound. In order to test whether he was really serious, Dong Hu stood in front of the two thousand army formation.

"Turn right-"

"boom--"

Two thousand soldiers turned to the right and stepped heavily on the ground.

"Turn backwards-"

"boom--"

...

"Pushing the array—"

"Boom-Boom-Boom-"

A thousand soldiers holding spears and shields raised, and suddenly pushed forward with a shield. The sharp spear in their hands suddenly stabbed out, and they advanced three steps in succession. The Qianqi Camp, who was watching the formation, also had some commotion.

"Reject the formation--"

"Swish!"

"boom--"

The soldiers holding shields hold a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and the other is like dealing with the enemy's attacks at any time.

Dong Hu strode forward, Liu Qi and others were puzzled, and followed him into the military formation. However, Sun Niu seemed to know what the leader was checking, and hurriedly pointed at a group of soldiers stepping on the left leg.

"The big leader said that holding a shield to defend against the enemy is different from holding a spear to kill people. Please see, the brothers are all facing forward with their left foot. We have tried the black bull, and we can't even run and bump into them! If the big leader doesn't believe it, let's try to hit them now!"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile. He could see the state of the soldiers.

"Not bad, you trained your troops well. As long as you follow us well, we will never treat you badly!"

Sun Niu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Would the leader look at the opening, closing, and the cooperation of the ten-person small team?"

Dong Hu patted Sun Niu on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Okay, you will be in charge of the exercise next time, let's watch from the side."

Sun Niu felt like he had eaten honey. After walking out of the military formation with a group of generals, he went to the military formation to practice. Although he had only been practicing for several months, he also looked like the second brigade before the war started. Dong Hu was very satisfied with this, and Sun Niu also went from the second brigade to become the first infantry battalion general of the mercenary army.

The captain did not have the battalion general to listen to it. Sun Niu was so angry that he was so angry that he laughed at him. After a few people talked, he slipped out Hu Santi, the first squadron of the Fourth Brigade, and sued Hu Sanyi in front of the big leader.

The second leader of the mercenary, Dong Mao, went to Didao, the capital of Longxi County, and Yao Shan led the third brigade, and Hua Xiong led the fourth brigade, and then transferred to Didao's defense. However, due to various reasons, some were relieved because of the small wealth, or after running to Didao, they felt that the mercenaries were treated too low and they changed jobs, or other people were tempted. The third and fourth brigades lost serious personnel, and the two brigades could not get enough of the organization of one brigade.

Dong Hu is mentally prepared. When recruiting self-employed mercenaries, he is prepared to disband the mercenaries at any time.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the brothers naturally drank and until they brag for half a day, Dong Hu went to Lintao City with a little drunkenness, with only Dong Chong's heavy armored cavalry beside him, and the rest were all staying in Hukou Fort.

The Han Dynasty followed the "Second Five" organization, and the largest organization was the battalion level organization, with five departments and ten chords as one battalion, and one "team" was that of a lieutenant or a sima.

5 people have a squad, and a squad leader; 10 people have a squad, and a squad leader; 50 people have a squad, and a team lead; 100 people have a squad, and a squad leader; 200 people have a squad, and a Quhou; 400 people have a squad, and a Sima or a squad leader; 2,000 people have a squad, and a battalion, and a general is the general.

The number of troops in Sima and the lieutenant commanded the same, but the lieutenant had greater power, and the lieutenant was also different. For example, the lieutenant in the southern part of Longxi County where Lintao was located. Such lieutenant was the lieutenant in the prefectures and county. In the early years, every prefecture and county had such lieutenant in the north and south. However, later the empire lacked financial resources. Except for the prefectures and counties near the Qiang and Hu, the rest were all removed. The right to draw troops and horses during the war was limited to the counties where they were located.

There are also battalion-level lieutenants like the "Guo Qiang Crown Captain". Although they are lieutenants, they are "Guo Qiang"-level generals, and they are at the same level as the Hun General. Theoretically, as long as there are Qiang people, they are managed by the "Guo Qiang Crown Captain". This is so big, and there are Qiang people in the entire northwest.

Another type is the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army where Luoyang is located. The lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army is only four or five thousand, but they all have the title of "Langguan". The generals in the Han Dynasty were very similar to each other. Once the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion went out to fight, they directly commanded the generals in various places through the identity of "Langguan", and then led the troops in various places.

It is not obvious at ordinary times that a lieutenant can only lead four or five hundred people. Only in war can he see the great power. But no matter what, during normal organization, the battalion of 2,000 people will be the largest. Dong Hu is not a member of the Han army. At most, mercenaries are spontaneously organized village soldiers. In order to avoid stimulating some people as much as possible, he simply divided it into three-level organizations, but as the number of people increases, a higher battalion-level organization is needed.

The battalion-level organization of the Han Dynasty was 2,000 people, and there was no cavalry camp. The difference between the infantry camp was the mixed battalion of infantry and cycling. Dong Hu had some considerations, so the number of "battalion-level" people in his hands was different. For example, the first cavalry camp was the thousand-person cavalry camp mixed with the former First Battalion and Jishishan, the second cavalry camp was the two thousand female cavalry camp, and then the first infantry battalion of the mercenary army led by Sun Niu. In addition, there was the 500 slave baggage camp of Ganlang Qiang who had been prisoners before, stranded in the third and fourth battalions of Didao. Afterwards, they formed a battalion? Or a secondary B battalion? It depends on the situation.

There are only two brigades in the first cavalry battalion. The first brigade is the armored heavy cavalry battalion, and the second brigade is the light cavalry battalion. Without the armored armored cavalry, the two sides can't see any difference, but one or two can also be seen from the momentum. The heavy cavalry battalion is more powerful. Because the mixing time is too short, some equipment does not equip the newly added Jishishan cavalry, but some clues can also be seen from the four or five-meter cavalry spear used by heavy armored riders.

The Han Dynasty used halberds and spears, mostly two or three meters in appearance. The weapons and techniques used by cavalry were mostly flat-stinging with one hand or two hands, tilted or raised by the backhand over the shoulder and tilted downward. If the weapon is too long, it is impossible to play too many tricks. It can only be clamped under the armpits. However, because the weapon is a little longer, it takes a lot of advantages when it impacts.

Holding halberds and spears in both hands is more varied. When using weapons, you often need to have more space, so the formation will be dispersed, and you cannot hold a shield to protect your body.

Heavy armored cavalry is different. Heavy armored cavalry has four or five meters of cavalry under his armpit. He can't even use more tricks. However, the formation is dense, and even if it is close to each other, you are not afraid of hurting your companions. When encountering a powerful halberd or a spear, the space needs to be used is large. In the same space, you can encounter three or four dense heavy cavalry guns at the same time, and the cavalry guns are long. Even if the general holding a halberd and holding a halberd in both hands is very skilled in martial arts, he will most of them die on the battlefield on the spot when facing three or four cavalry guns.
