Li Yi left Cao Minglei's camp and looked back, seeing a huge crowd.

Just like what Cao Minglei said, now that the Eastern captives are powerful, he may be recalled to the capital by the emperor at any time, so before that, it is better to make early plans.

Violence is natural as long as violence can be stopped.

And with the armed forces in his hands, he doesn't have much to take action.

Although the Anxin Iron Brigade was equipped with sophisticated firearms and armor, its number was too small. It had only experienced bandit suppression battles and had not experienced a real battle involving tens of thousands of people. To mobilize the Iron Brigade to fight against the fierce Eight Banners Army, Li Yi did not

There is no absolute confidence.

Although Yue Bufan and Qi Shamu had already joined him, for the sake of the layout of the northwest, Li Yi transferred them both to the northwest to cooperate with his senior brother Li Zicheng.

Therefore, his most important combat strength is the Iron Brigade.

The situation of the Railway Brigade is also a bit complicated.

The Iron Brigade now has three battalions, namely the Yong Battalion, the Hard Battalion, and the Civilian Battalion, as well as the Military Law Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The Yongying camp's battalion is Zhang Mingde, and the battalion auxiliary is Li Si. There are more than 600 people in total. They are a strong army formed with the original Yongding as the backbone. The people in the Yongying camp are all selected refugees with outstanding bravery, so they are called

As a brave Ding, after being organized into the brave camp, he wears armor and holds a sharp knife. He goes forward bravely and is invincible.

The leading battalion of the Han camp is Chen Hongyan, and the battalion auxiliaries are Zhao Youlin and Wang Kui. The total number of troops is 600, with Chen Hongyan personally as the backbone. The emphasis is on adhering to the bandit's fighting style of fighting without fear of death.

The private camp is a normal garrison force. The battalion commander is Zhang San. They are all built with the original villagers as the backbone. They mainly practice firearms. They do not have high requirements for fighting and battle formations.

As for the Military Justice Bureau, since the railway brigade has a large number of people, it is inevitable that there will be disputes and mistakes and violations of military discipline. A sentry is set up to handle this matter.

The Military Intelligence Bureau is a spy agency that monitors and investigates the various forces in Baoding. Although the military strength has been increased, if there are no spies to collect information for them, they are likely to be harmed, so they need to have a clear grasp of the military situation and the public situation.

Nowadays, the strong camp is stationed in various docks in Baiyangdian, while the private camp has been transferred to Dongyang Town. The general force of the Yongying camp is guarding the mining area in Taihang Mountain, and part of it is stationed in Anxin City.

When three battalions were established at that time, Li Yi gave all the tall and burly iron soldiers to the other two battalions. After that, the private iron soldiers were generally not as tall and majestic as the other two battalions. In the competition, their combat skills and bravery were all.

Lost to the other two battalions.

However, Li Yi does not think that the combat power of the private camp will be weaker than that of the Yong camp and the Han camp. You must know that although the private camp has weaker close combat capabilities, its firepower is the strongest in the Iron Brigade.

His idea at the time was to turn the civilian battalion into a firearms unit, specially used for attacking and supporting. The difference between strength and weakness did not lie in other things, but in different functions. Once the war situation changed, the civilian battalion would probably cause more damage than the other two battalions.

.

Li Yi has been intensively training the Iron Brigade during this period, with three days of small competitions and five days of one big competition, so the Iron Brigades are all wearing battle uniforms and wearing their equipment neatly.

The railway brigade attaches great importance to discipline, so they line up in an orderly manner and are not allowed to act without orders. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be locked up in a small black room, their family's property will be confiscated, and they will be expelled from Anxin.

Fire gun soldiers all carry thunder cannons on their backs, carry sabers on their waists, and wear cotton armor.

The spearmen were wearing iron armor and holding spears in their hands. The lengths of the spears were the same, forming a dense and powerful forest of spears.

The heavy armored infantry wore two layers of armor and held long swords in their hands, just like the swordsmen of the Tang Dynasty, occupying the front enemy.

The private camp has four hundred gunmen, two hundred pikemen, and fifty artillerymen.

As for the strong camp, it is an infantry close combat unit with an organization of 600 people. There are 200 light infantry, 200 pikemen, and 200 gunmen.

The Yong camp had more troops. In addition to 200 heavy armored infantry, 200 spearmen, 100 gunmen, and 300 horse troops.
