Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 118 New character

Yang Song had a bad feeling when he heard Li Jing said that there was something wrong, but he couldn’t fail to act when something happened to his subordinates, so he had to let Li Jing continue.

“Knowing the great king, the minister has one more thing related to the reorganization of the army.” Li Jing had no choice but to say his conclusion in one breath: “The minister suggested forming an army dedicated to mountain combat!”

When Yang Song heard this, he knew that it must have been the combat experience of attacking the western mountainous area in the last war.

Yang Song thought for a while, and asked: “How will the mountain army be formed? What is the scale?” By saying this, he agreed to form a mountain army, but how to form it still needs to be asked clearly.

As for who will form it, and which general should lead it… Yang Song doesn’t need to ask these questions again.

Anyway, the formation of the mountain army is served by the generals in turn, and there is no question of who will be formed and who will command it.

Thinking of this, Yang Song suddenly remembered a problem about taking turns serving in each division-a problem that was not a problem for Xia Guo.

That is, in the future, Xia Guo will have all kinds of troops, the mountain army responsible for mountain operations, the heavy equipment division responsible for supporting and attacking, and several standing standard divisions. This is a big test for the rotation of the generals.

The rotation system has high requirements for the generals’ comprehensive capabilities, and they must be proficient in various tactics. Whether it is mountains, plains, cavalry, or infantry, they must be able to command!

Thinking of this, Yang Song couldn’t help feeling sigh. Fortunately, Xia Guo’s generals are not lacking in this ability. In the future, as batches of graduates of the military academy continue to enter the military, there is no need to worry about the use of generals in the future. .

Regardless of Yang Song’s thoughts, Li Jing answered Yang Song’s question: “Back to the king, the minister suggested that the formation of the mountain army is also the establishment of a division. The specific establishment is the same as the standard division, except for this one. The training and combat of the army are all carried out in the mountains.”

Li Jing means that the establishment of standard division is sufficient. A standard division with 46,500 troops is not small.

The five standard regiments plus a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion have the powerful firepower of three hundred field artillery, one hundred siege artillery, and three thousand cavalry as a mobile force. No matter how you look at it, the establishment of a standard division is sufficient.

The terrain of the mountains is complex, mostly light equipment, and the five standard regiments are mostly musketeers. One standard regiment has 8,400 people. Except for the number of artillery companies and cavalry companies, the number of musketeers is 7,000. Five hundred people.

As for a three-hundred-man cavalry company in a standard regiment and an artillery company with thirty field artillery and ten siege artillery, it is completely sufficient to serve as the fire support of a standard regiment.

Just like what Li Jing said, the composition of the mountain army depends more on the quality of the soldiers and combat experience, and there is no need to set up another one if there are ready-made establishments available.

Yang Song considered this for a while, and according to Li Jing’s suggestion, including the heavy equipment division adapted from the cavalry division, plus a mountain division, connected to the first and second divisions, a total of four divisions would do.

Suddenly, Yang Song thought of the purpose of their trip northward, wasn’t it just to accept the army of a standard division?

And Xia Guo’s existing first and second divisions, a cavalry division and a new division, happened to be four divisions!

Yang Song didn’t think it was a coincidence. It turned out that Li Jing and Liu Ji came to him now for this new teacher!

After thinking about it, Yang Song was also a bit bitter. Li Jing, if you want to coordinate and arrange all the troops, just say it straight. Why do you want to be so sloppy?

“Okay, it’s already late today.” Yang Song also relaxed after thinking about it. He said to the two of them: “For the construction of the army, the pharmacist will write a plan. When the time comes, the widows will make unified arrangements. Going to meet the new army!”

The two saw that Yang Song was rushing people, and their goal had been achieved tonight, so they bowed to Yang Song and left immediately.

One night passed. In the early morning of the next day, Yang Song, Li Jing and Liu Ji, as well as a regiment guarding Yang Song’s regiment, a battalion of Jinyi guards, and Yang Ren prepared for the new army. In response to logistic materials, he headed toward the “empty city” ten kilometers away-Planning City.

Nearly two hours later, the group came to the outside of the planning city and saw that the gates of the city of Guihua, which was originally an empty city, were closed, and there was still an army garrisoned above the city wall.

“Look at this!” Yang Song thought secretly. Just as people were about to call to open the door, he saw the gate of Guihua City suddenly opened.

Yang Song looked at it, and saw that two people walked out of the gate that opened in the cave first, followed by a neat army lined up.

Not long after the two armies communicated with each other, the two people who walked out of the city gate hurried to Yang Song’s front, bowed on one knee and said:

“The final general Qi Jiguang sees the king!”

“The last general Sun Chengzong sees the king!”

“Leading a standard division, 46,500 people are willing to join the king and serve the king!” This sentence was said by Qi Jiguang.

After Yang Song heard the two professions, he was immediately very happy. It seems that the system has sent him two more talents!

“Quickly avoid the ceremony!” Yang Song hurriedly got the two of them up, and then added three “good” words in succession, and then continued: “Widow welcomes the arrival of the two great talents, and welcomes the arrival of the entire army. !”

After Yang Song had a few conversations with Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong, and after introducing Li Jing and Liu Ji to each other, Yang Song pointed to Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong, “Behind you are the logistics and materials you need. . Yang Ren!”

Finally shouted to Yang Ren, Yang Ren immediately handed over the list of materials in his hand to Qi Jiguang for an inventory.

After a busy period, Yang Song took advantage of the early time and did not enter the city. Finally, he told Qi Jiguang: “You are new here, and the rest will have a pharmacist who will lead you to familiarize yourself. Let’s go back!”

Regarding the placement of this new standard division, Yang Song and Li Jing had already negotiated, and decided to let this division division be placed in the military camp outside Apocalypse City.

On the way back, Yang Song had time to take a look at the biographical profiles of the two at this time:
