Turbulent Times Chapter 1216: The method of training soldiers
"Start crossing the river."
"Yes, General."
The captain of the reconnaissance team signaled to the flag bearers around him that the blue flag of the Chinese Army moved a little in the direction of the one thousand county soldiers in Rongcheng County at the front, and then tilted in the direction of crossing the river. The one thousand county soldiers in Rongcheng County sent the order The blue flag of Rongcheng County moved a little in his direction, and then began to distribute orders to the captain of Rongcheng County. After a while, the drums of Rongcheng County soldiers rang out, and a thousand county soldiers from Rongcheng County crossed the river first. After crossing the river, they quickly spread out Array.
County soldiers from the other seven counties also began to cross the river one after another. Although they knew that there were no enemies nearby, they still strictly followed Shan Xiongxin's order. After all four thousand county soldiers crossed the bridge, they all deployed on the opposite bank. Then came the Chinese Army and the 4,000 county soldiers behind, and then the supply team.
After the Chinese army crossed the river, two reconnaissance cavalry came forward and handed over the information to the captain of the reconnaissance team.
The captains of the eight counties were originally selected from the group of guards in Fanyang County when Wang Junlin first came. They are all old people who have followed Wang Junlin for many years. Wang Junlin had fought Tuyuhun and Turkic people in the northwest, so he had a wealth of experience in warfare. It was the first time he had come into contact with the training and marching, battle formations and tactics of the Snake Island training camp. The "Training Regulations" issued to train troops is the first actual combat that has been pulled out today.
Soon all eight lieutenants came under the banner of the Chinese Army. Although the county soldiers were all infantry, the captains all had horses, so it was convenient for them to come and go. Shan Xiongxin recruited them, and the captain of the reconnaissance team took out a map. Surround the past.
The leader of the reconnaissance team pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, after crossing the Zhangshui River, there are no big mountains and rivers in front of us. The original plan did not continue. According to the information received yesterday, eleven villages near Gaojibo and Heiji Town have been secretly controlled by Gaojibo rebels, and there is even a rebel camp in Heiji Town. It is estimated that We will fight them tomorrow."
The captain of Rongcheng County took the lead in asking: "Then shall we stick to the original plan?
Camp in Xiaoshizhuang. "
The captain of Fangcheng County immediately shook his head and said: "Xiaoshizhuang is too close to Heiji Town, I think it's better to set up camp near here, march twenty miles tomorrow, and fight in the afternoon."
The captain of Gu'an County simply said: "Why don't you start marching quickly now, arrive at Heiji Town after dark, and attack the camp of the rebels in Heiji Town. Captain Liu, the rebels' camp in Heiji Town Is it sturdy?"
Captain Liu of the reconnaissance team took a look at Shan Xiongxin, seeing the latter's posture of arguing with the captains, he said: "According to the report of the spies, the camp of the rebels is not very strong, just some houses, or even shacks. "
None of the eight captains had any doubts about being able to easily defeat the rebels. Although Wang Junlin emphasized to Shan Xiongxin not to underestimate the enemy, especially Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu, the leader of the rebels, Shan Xiongxin still did not take the rebels seriously. But he doesn't plan to use the attack method, because the attack can't achieve the effect of training soldiers. You must know that such a chance to practice mobile phones is very rare, so he still hopes to fight in a frontal battle.
The eight captains had different opinions and argued endlessly. Shan Xiongxin listened for a while, and seeing that it was almost done, he made a decision: "We will camp here today, and arrive at Heiji Town tomorrow, and first destroy the rebels in the town. .”
"I will obey your orders." The eight captains agreed at the same time.
The captain of the reconnaissance asked for instructions: "The general, please set the position of the middle army."
Shan Xiongxin looked at the front and saw that it was relatively flat about a mile away, and said: "The Chinese army flag will set up a camp one mile ahead, and the reconnaissance team will be responsible for sending out the flag positions of all ministries, and the county soldiers in each county will set up camps according to the flags. The cavalry waited to set up camp before taking it back, and each ministry dispatched lurking, mobile and fixed sentries in accordance with the camp regulations during wartime, and the reconnaissance team dispatched several groups of lurking sentries on the periphery."
The eight lieutenants and the captain of the reconnaissance team clasped their fists and obeyed immediately, then got on their horses and rushed back to their respective units. Shan Xiongxin's Chinese army advanced slowly, and after about a mile, set up the Chinese army flag. Liu Fangyi, the captain of the reconnaissance team, took two personal soldiers, measured the positions, and distributed the flags to each department, roughly forming a triangular camp.
After they returned to the central army to report back, Shan Xiongxin's four soldiers each clapped their hands and blew the troop's horn.
Horn
As soon as the sound was heard, all the ministries went to their stands and began to set up camp. The quiet queue began to make some chaotic sounds, and the shouts of officers rang out everywhere.
The carts of the supply team were divided into different departments, and many five-foot-long javelins were taken from them. They were **** in bundles of three to form simple horses. The captains of each county sent a team to cut down trees nearby, and after moving them, they placed the trunks horizontally on Juma, which became the camp wall for their camping.
Then took out a bunch of terrier caltrops and laid them out along the outside of the camp wall. This kind of terrier caltrops consisted of four iron points, each in a string of six, each string was one step longer, and each end had an iron point for grasping. Easy to deploy and retract.
In general, their disembarkation was still simple, without digging trenches or erecting strong wooden walls.
After all the ministries had set up their camps, Shan Xiongxin, in accordance with the "Wartime Camping Regulations" issued by Snake Island, sent out flag guards to wait for orders at each gate on the three sides. The fire-leading soldiers of the county soldiers from all counties lined up at the gate of the camp one after another. After the soldiers counted them, they went to the nearby area to chop firewood and fetch water. After the personal soldiers counted, they were still waiting at the door.
Shan Xiongxin looked at the cavalry of the reconnaissance team, because there were a lot of cavalry released, now there are only more than 50 cavalry, and they are already waiting at the gate of the east camp.
Shan Xiongxin waved his hand with a smile. The Chinese army raised yellow and green flags. The cavalry flags were set in yellow and green for water and grass, indicating that the cavalry could leave the camp to drink water and graze. Drinking water and eating grass, when they came back, Sanmen's soldiers returned to Shan Xiongxin's Chinese army banner to hand in their numbers, and after checking, nothing was missed.
Then two soldiers went out, raised the gong and walked along the wall of the camp, beating and making a circle.
The trumpet soldiers under Shan Xiongxin immediately blew the horn with a special tone according to Shan Xiongxin's order, and the commanders and generals of all counties went to the camp of the Chinese army to listen to the order. Shan Xiongxin's Chinese army camp is also very simple, not the magnificent type, it is bigger than ordinary tents, after everyone came in, it was a little crowded, and the call outside the camp didn't stop until all the officials arrived.
