Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 170: Reforming the Military System
After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Qian Yuan made the final summary.

"After the spring campaign, our army has gained a comprehensive advantage in fortifications on the western front. How to turn this advantage into real benefits? It is impossible to nest in the pass.

"From now on, the [-]st and [-]nd divisions will normalize the inspections when they go out of the customs, and maintain the suppression of the Jigu camp all the year round. This is not only for training, but also for covering the half-demon spies to go deep into the territory of Qingqiu.

"There is a saying in the art of war: know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. We did not have that condition before, but now that the time and place are favorable, it is time to reveal the mystery of Qingqiu Kingdom.

"Don't always wait for the enemy to come to your door. Passive combat is not our style."

No matter what conspiracy and calculations are behind the Qingqiu Kingdom, in Qianyuan's view, since he has the advantage, he should be tough to the end and continue to expand the advantage, instead of being obsessive and stagnant.

That's not Qian Yuan's style.

Facts have proved that the Yaozu is not invincible, they are also flesh and blood, and they will make mistakes. The fief has the most elite fighters and the most powerful generals, are you afraid of him? !
"As ordered!"

Xue Rengui and Fifth Ziyue took orders.

Especially Xue Rengui, with an excited expression, is what he is best at going out to kill the enemy.

In Xue Rengui's eyes, the thousands of years of fierce battle between the monsters and monsters basically start in the spring, and each time the battle for the pass is the winner, a bit like a child's play house.

It's too low-level.

The real battle should be to gallop thousands of miles vertically and horizontally, with the city as the hub, the wilderness as the battlefield, the goal of conquering the city, the heaven and the earth as the chessboard, and all living beings as the chess pieces.

It's not like it is now, if you play it every year, forget it all in a blink of an eye.The two races have been fighting for thousands of years, and they are still in their respective territories, which hasn't changed at all.

Isn't this just playing with war?

Of course there is the objective factor of the Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range, but it must not be an excuse. In Xue Rengui's view, as long as conditions permit, why can't the human race capture the Yaozu's land?

His Highness took the lead in breaking the law of fighting in spring and normalizing preparations for battle, which is the best signal.

No wonder Xue Rengui was excited.

You know, good fighters are often fleeting, how can they be limited to a fixed time?As long as there is an opportunity, war can be provoked at any time.

Conformist, really pedantic.

Different from Xue Rengui's excitement, Fifth Ziyue obviously has something on her mind. She has realized that the fiefdom is very different from when she was leading the troops in the First Legion.

The entire form of war is changing, even subverted. While the fifth Ziyue is uncomfortable, she is also faintly excited, as if the door to a new world has opened.

"There is also a cavalry brigade." Qian Yuan looked at Di Qing.

Di Qing has long hair and a shawl, and wears a mask of blue fangs, covering half of his face, revealing the other half of his face is very handsome, but his eyes are deep-set, and there is a hideous scar at the corner of his eyes.

The whole person was silent.

Qian Yuan heard that Di Qing's character was very suitable for half-demon warriors, and in a short period of time, he established an unshakable personal prestige in the cavalry brigade.

Maybe it's also a sympathy.

The mount Di Qing chose was also very unique. It was a green-faced jasper lion, which complemented him perfectly.

"It's been a year since the formation of the cavalry brigade. The regular training can come to an end temporarily. Next, we will continue to go deep into the Qingqiu country to compete head-on with the demon army. Are you confident?" Qian Yuan asked.

"I will return after drinking blood." Di Qing bowed firmly.

Qianyuan nodded and continued: "You may have realized that fortress offensive and defensive warfare is only one form of war, and mobile warfare will be the mainstream of future warfare. Obviously, our military organization is not suitable for mobile warfare."

Before the formation of cavalry, there was only one branch of the army-infantry, which was subdivided into archers at most, and then disappeared.

It's just a hodgepodge.

This kind of arms form can barely adapt to the fortress battle. After all, the human race has been on the defensive side for a long time, and the defenders of the city are mainly infantry and archers.

It can be regarded as a reason.

But mobile warfare, including positional warfare in open areas, this simple and crude combination of arms cannot be said to be wrong, but at least it is not optimal.

A real regiment should at least have light infantry, heavy infantry, archers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and engineers.

If the requirements are higher, the infantry can be subdivided into swordsmen, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen and so on.

The various arms perform their own duties, and when combined with each other, they will exert the effect of one plus one greater than two, and can also increase the flexibility of war command.

It's not a one-brained move forward.

Even in a small battlefield, tactical actions such as assault, defense, detour, and encirclement can be completed, and the effect is even higher than that of formations.

In other words, this itself is also a kind of formation - the method of arranging troops.

"Subdividing the arms and unifying the equipment, martial arts and martial arts of each subdivided arm will be a major task for the army to focus on next. If you don't expect immediate results, you must work hard in this direction, otherwise you will never do it." No. This matter will be completed by Bingcao and the two divisions." Qian Yuan made up his mind this time.

Qianyuan knew the difficulties of subdividing arms, including both technical and tactical obstacles, as well as ideological and conceptual obstacles, which could not be reversed overnight.

But the benefits of subdividing arms are too many, and the price is always worth it.

The Southwest Corps is still a "new army" and has not formed any fixed traditions. The factional struggles are relatively simple, and it is the best time for change.

If you drag on, the resistance will only increase.

On this matter, Xue Rengui still has the most right to speak. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I will only make one request at the end."

"speak."

"The general hopes to be able to freely enter and exit the library." Xue Rengui said surprisingly.

Qian Yuan was thoughtful, "Do you want to sort out a standard set of martial arts and martial arts for each army?"

"Exactly."

If soldiers want to give up their existing martial arts and martial arts, at the very least, the level of new martial arts and martial arts should be higher than their existing ones, otherwise, who would be willing to change halfway?
This is the foundation of a warrior's life.

The library brings together the essence of the royal collection, which can undoubtedly satisfy this point.

When necessary, Xue Rengui is even ready to learn from the strengths of all the families to create a martial art that is completely suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

Hearing Xue Rengui's thoughts, Qian Yuan agreed, "In that case, let's set up a temporary preparatory group consisting of you, Fifth Ziyue, Xu Chu and Yue Yun."

Except for Yue Yun, the four people at Qianyuan Point are all the strongest in the army.

The reason why he didn't choose Di Qing in the late Wuzong period, but Yue Yun in the early Wuzong period was not because he didn't trust Di Qing, but because Di Qing, like Xu Chu, used knives.

repeated.

Yue Yun used a hammer, Fifth Ziyue used a sword, Xue Rengui used a halberd, and Xu Chu's sword, apart from the bow and arrow, basically included the mainstream weapons in the army.

"As ordered!"

The four generals came out, all looking excited.

Next, Qian Yuan discussed with the generals the specific measures to refine the types of arms, such as how to adjust the troop establishment, the proportion of each type of arms, and how to adjust the Bing Jia Division accordingly.

and many more.

As for how the various arms cooperate to fight, that is a matter for later.

…………

After the discussion was over, Fifth Ziyue returned to the back house.

"Miss, you are back." The maid Hongxue was overjoyed.

For Houzhai, except for the New Year's Eve, the princess of the fifth Ziyue is a "rare visitor", she doesn't mind, and said indifferently: "Hongxue, find that box of military books."

"Is it the box of books that the prince sent?" Hongxue's eyes were full of inquiry. She knew that the young lady didn't like reading. Although the old lady said how good the book of war was when she was in the capital, the young lady hadn't read any of it. of.

I don't know why I want it all of a sudden now.

The fifth Ziyue is not willing to admit defeat, just now after listening to Xue Rengui's explanation, she knows that she has not been wronged, but this has stimulated her competitive spirit even more.

"Hurry up." Fifth Ziyue felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Hongxue.

"Yes."

Hongxue smiled and left.
