Chapter 177 Re-editing

What breaks our daily routine is the news about the failure of the official army on the other side of the sea.

The previous advances landed in almost no way or any loss, and with the cooperation of local officials and civilians, they established sufficient depth control areas.

So they called out that those military generals who were originally sick and were not adapted to the local conditions could not help but forget the previous risks and crises. They dragged their bodies from their beds and actively expressed their response to the call of the DPRK, showing some fearless spirit of not having the conditions and trying to create conditions to be loyal to the country, forming two routes to the other side, and rushing to the other side one after another.

However, this time it was just a failure, not as bad as the previous destruction of the entire army. It was just that the official army suffered important setbacks in the re-emergence of Anyuan Prefecture, although there was not much resistance in the future.

However, there was an accident in the rear. An unknown armed force that emerged from some unknown place almost overnight captured the Dasha Port City where the official army landed. Although there were few casualties, and with the cooperation of the navy from the navy ship, the offensive enemy was finally defeated.

However, the local grain station was burned by people from both sides and outside. Once this news spread, tens of thousands of troops would inevitably become panic and even cause chaos.

Therefore, I secretly sent a messenger to take the fastest official ship and urgently dispatched Tiannan, where there was still Jiyu, to rescue me first. So after scrambling, my team training that had been supplemented, fortunate or unfortunately, became the escort team again.

After several supplements and equipment, as well as the experience of "suppressing bandits", my team finally changed their guns and cannons again, and changed their appearance.

More importantly, I transferred the hand to receive a large amount of surplus supplies from the government army from the Ambassador of the Grain and Taiwan. Yes, it is surplus supplies.

Compared with those vassal states in the Northern Dynasties who were full of thin and ragged clothes, the Southern Dynasties' official troops were really rich and powerful. Not to mention the various expenses and materials they had allocated, the food, pay and supplies were sent first according to the upper limit of several months and six months, and the local governments were allowed to make up for profit and loss as appropriate according to the proportion and quota.

Therefore, the cost of placing and mobilization of troops of the same size and equipment is much higher than that of the North, which is also an important reason for those who oppose the Northern Expedition.

Although there are many normal and abnormal losses, except for a few remote areas with inconvenient transportation or harsh environments, the government and army rarely lose supply. Over the years, after each war, there are often surplus supplies that are not planned. This is also a tradition to deal with those military business.

In theory, in addition to the armed and armored military weapons of the squad army, all kinds of fragmentary objects, including traditional robes, quilts, tents, tools, ropes, and iron nails, are almost completely different from the old or the new, and are packaged and bid for distribution.

Then, through the channels of merchants, they were dealt with at a low price to third-rate local troops or private equity armed forces from the vassal families. Various meanings were also good business.

But in fact, even military ordinances are not unimaginable. As long as a sufficient price can be given, it is said that a specific person has put forward a corresponding argument and the appropriate proportion of going out to fight outside will also be conducive to the prosperity of the military industry in the middle school and the renewal of military equipment.

Therefore, in addition to traditional swords, bows and guns, I also obtained a large number of military-style muskets that were called scrapped and had not been used very much. Although most of the Southern Dynasties' official troops did not consider the power of muskets, they were still arranged and equipped according to the purpose of the purpose.

So after the battle of Tiannan City, the Du Jun envoy and the Cangcai judge in the army suddenly discovered that most of these muskets were included in the unqualified military items to be processed because of poor storage.

But for me, although the quality of these military guns is not very outstanding, and it cannot be compared with the handmade products of my homemade ones, the advantage lies in the uniform diameter of the pipe and the convenience of obtaining ammunition. As long as you modify it on the firing device, you can continue to use it.

I even got two small cannons for me, which were placed on a special large sampan in the navy, used as a cover to fight. In the end, I didn't fire a few cannons, and it was included in the scrapped melting and recasting sequence on the grounds that it was not too much transported and rusted, and then transferred to me at the price of scrap copper.

This copper-tired iron cannon, which fires a pound of projectiles from 500 to 800 steps, has a very simple structure, just a thick tube and a closed bolt, and is used as an old-fashioned lead. A horse can carry it or two people, but finally, the group of former Divine Machinery gunners who stayed in our army got rid of the useless place where they could only use swords and weapons.

The White Soldiers and the Spears were both expanded to five fires in each team, about one hundred and fifty people, and ten other servants who drove to take care of the animals were approaching the arrangement of the government army.

The gun team and the sound shooting team reached 120 people, and there were also ten other servants driving to take care of the animals, mainly young and strong men recruited from the local area of ​​Tiannan.

Among them, the spear team can basically have a lock vest, a long pole and three sets of spearheads, and a three-piece set of self-defense short knife. When necessary, as the front team and vanguard, there are multiple sets of long-body ring armor to strengthen protection.

The white soldiers have half-body chain armor with arm covers, military-style thick-backed long swords and iron-covered shields, which are divided into long platoons for formation and upward attack cards, each accounting for six or four.

The gun team and the shooting team were replaced with some simple silk armor, that is, thick cloth for sails and a vest-style jacket, which had certain protection against arrows and ordinary swords in the distance, and other equipment remained unchanged.

Although the old and new are different, at least they are protected enough. Veterans have more shoulder pads and hem, and non-commissioned officers also have metal patches such as heart protection mirrors and front guards.

As for the original leather hood or half-body armor-inlayed protective gear, all of them were eliminated to the ranks of the baggage team.

Finally, four white soldiers were organized, five spear teams, three sound teams, and six gun teams, with a total of more than 2,000 troops. Each of the troops had a key team, that is, a special team with more than half of the skilled soldiers. When needed, some people could be drawn and independently expanded into a new organization.

The direct-sequence teaching team did not change much in the organization, but only gave priority to supplementing personnel, and they still used horses to make use of horses. They only fought half-step and a small number of horse soldiers, which particularly strengthened the scouts. They wore half-brother plates, and everyone was given single or double-shot short guns, or a hand crossbow.

The model team was limitedly strengthened, and some experienced players were drawn from other teams, and they were organized into a demonstration group of 100 people according to the mix of spearmen, white soldiers, shooting sounds and gunners. Then the only newly-appointed gun team was also equipped with them. It is my new tactics, tactics, and the first test unit with firearms as the core.

In addition, I set up another reserve battalion to serve as reserve personnel and auxiliary personnel to accommodate those unqualified retained personnel. In the reserve battalion of about 800 people, only a few of them have protective gear, and the others are just armed without armor.

Just to expand and equip them, the price I paid is also quite high.

Not to mention that the rest of the people alone are the maintenance costs of eating horses on the road, and spending thousands of dollars every day, only a small part of them can be supplemented in physical form from the grain station and other channels. I have to pay for the rest by myself to maintain my daily life...

To be honest, I was riding on a horse that was higher than a human body, looking at the shaky helmet and colorful tassels in front of me, and I felt a little proud and full of illusion.

Against this chaotic backdrop, it turns out that only those with soldiers can have authority and opportunities, and only those with corresponding sense of security can they have.

Since I originally designed it as a daily emblem for the epaulette, collar and armband, as a mark of the enemy and our class identification in the battlefield, it is too small and can only be used for daily training丨丨丨

Therefore, I considered the retro practice of the big stream, and used the more conspicuous hat and helmet as the battlefield identification symbol of the headquarters.

The main consideration is to consider the needs of the wet and hot southern combat, and two types of models have been initially determined.

A wide-edged canvas soft hat similar to western denim, which provides most of the daily and lightweight marching needs. After applying a layer of waterproof glue, it can exert the effect of simple sun protection and rain protection. It was sewn by the military tailor under the management of the Grain Taiwan Ambassador and sewed according to the drawings.

The best response of this hat is the soldiers of the Sound Team and the Gun Team. The wide edge of the hat can also block the light that affects the sight and provide some shade for these soldiers who need vision and vision.

The other type is a flat-edged pointed hat helmet similar to the disc, but it is more than 2,000 headers found in the arsenal of the Tiannan Army, as a basic protection configuration during wartime.

The hard disc edge can effectively prevent rainwater from flowing onto the face and affecting the line of sight. Weld a circle of reinforced protective iron edges at the back of the head, pad it with a cotton lining, and add a few pieces of cloth to form a certain sun-proof and breathable neck curtain.

It was also a practical and inappropriate plan. It was just that when we marched, we were dancing in groups of cloth, and we suddenly returned to the era of the Anti-Japanese War. However, after the initial distribution, the soldiers' reaction was surprisingly good, saying that they no longer had to be careful of the iron helmet being burned by the sun, so I had to leave this aesthetic regret behind for the time being

The hats and helmets of ordinary soldiers are not decorated, while the identity marks of veterans and non-commissioned officers are tied to them and they are identified by tassels of different colors. The officers have one more tassel on the caps and helmets, and they also use different colors to distinguish the lines.

I don’t have that kind of bird feathers, horse mane and fox tail. I can only use this half-baked alternative. Silk and polyester and dye are much easier to buy than these things.

As for the auxiliary soldiers, there is only one rain hat, but you can distinguish the level and sequence according to the simple coloring on the rain hat. Then each person brings a long axe plus a few short axes, or a few short spears, for close throws or hand-to-hand combat.

But when they stood together, I occasionally remembered that when I played the first work of the Shogun series "The Shogun", the poor cannon fodder with a low price called "The Football". Compared with the Southern Dynasties Shogun I am following now, is this really a coincidence of historical interest?

So our "Longzhou Left" was pulled out and appeared a few times, and got a very intuitive new nickname, "Hat Curtain Soldier",
Chapter completed!
