Chapter 9, Battle of Sichuan and Shaanxi (2)

.The Battle Axe Corps of the Kingdom of Red, which was born into a mercenary, inherited the "fine tradition" of the ancestors, eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large bowls. They are generous by nature, but they are not convinced by management.

Therefore, the military discipline of the Red Tomahawks is in the Western Land, which is famous for being a casual person.

If it was during the battle, bravery and blood could slightly cover up their casual military discipline. However, when there was no war, these soldiers were causing trouble everywhere and had no professional attitude towards a soldier, which was really ridiculous.

It is also because of this that although the Red Tomahawks are so brave and good at fighting, they always fall under the Teutonic heavy infantry regiment.

Many professional soldiers from the Western Land are unconcealedly called the "bad boy" legion.

In the hundreds of years after the establishment of the Red Tomahawks, the Han Empire had no major conflicts with the Western Land countries, and the Red Kingdom had no borders with the Empire. Therefore, although the Empire had heard of such a corps, no unit had officially fought with it.

Even in the Battle of Dragon City that day, Jose did not order the dispatch of this battle axe regiment.

Now, facing the "Twelve Continents" of Tongguan, which was a man who was in charge of the pass and ten thousand men could not open, Jose finally drew a troop of 20,000 Red Tomahawks that accompanied the army eastward, and handed it to Fonseca, and sent it to the battlefield. Of course, Jose also promised many generous conditions to Hans, the commander of the Kingdom of Reed, so Hans was willing to hand over the elite of these ten thousand people.

On April 1, 999, after the swearing in Sichuan, Lei Dongfeng immediately led his army to leave Dasan Pass.

Before leaving, Lei Dongfeng issued a series of military and political orders.

Li Yan was the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Kuanglan Army, and Duanmu Tuo was the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Kuanglan Army.

Ma Hongluan was the commander of the First Regiment, leading 500 former Flying Cavalry and 500 elite cavalry to the first battalion. The local recruited 1,000 Sichuan cavalry and 3 battalions into a regiment, with a total of 1,500 people.

Xue Yulin was the commander of the Second Regiment and led 500 vine armored cavalry as the first battalion. The local area recruited two battalions of Sichuan cavalry and three battalions into a regiment, with a total of 1,500 people. Among them, Guangxiu and Yunfei were the commanders of the battalion.

Jiang Zhuying was the commander of the Second Cavalry Division of the Kuanglan Army. He led a regiment of 1,500 Han army elite cavalry and 1,500 locally recruited two Sichuan cavalry regiments, two regiments formed a division, with a total of 3,000 people, and was the most elite unit of the Kuanglan Army.

Li Banghao was the commander of the First Infantry Division of the Kuanglan Army and the commander of the Baigang Long Spear Regiment. He led the former Dasanguan Independent Brigade to a 2,500 independent brigade. The local recruited 3,500 people, a thousand Sichuan Infantry Brigade, and the two brigades formed a first division, and the Baigang Soldiers with two thousand Baigang Soldiers, totaling 10,000 people. Among them, Meng Zhan was the commander of the Baigang Soldiers under his command.

Duan Zhao was the commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Kuanglan Army. He led the former Dasanguan Independent Brigade to the first brigade, and the 6,000 Sichuan Infantry brigade collected locally were two brigades. The third brigade formed the first division, plus a thousand engineers, totaling 10,000 people. Among them, Lin Jia, the battalion commander under Jiang Zhuying, was promoted to the brigade commander.

These two infantry divisions are also one of the few divisions in the Kuanglan Army that basically meet the imperial establishment. Due to the lack of horses and cavalry, the cavalry divisions are basically less than 30%.

Zhang Ce was the commander and chief of staff of the Kuanglan Army’s reserve division, and led the 13,000 Sichuan-Chinese infantry recruited by the local government to three reserve brigades.

Jing Zhan was the battalion commander of the Kuanglan Army's reconnaissance cavalry battalion and the law enforcement battalion commander. He led 500 Han soldiers and elite cavalry battalion, and 500 law enforcement teams, a total of 1,000 people. Speaking of which, he became the lowest position among the crowd, but his military rank was colonel, which also made a beautiful talk about the colonel battalion commander in the future.

Li Ruoxi resolutely refused to give him the position of Chief of Staff. Lei Dongfeng was helpless to appoint him as the staff officer. Of course, this staff officer's right to speak is very important.

As for Roland, Lei Dongfeng asked her to lead her men to pretend to be the common people and set out first to support and hand over information with Jing Zhan. Now even Lei Dongfeng doesn't know where she is.

The old Taoist Lin Qingping was still free and comfortable, and did not seek official positions, nor did he want to lead troops. He just occasionally guided the doctors in the army to treat the wounded. He was either busy with medicine or quarreled with others for fun, but no one dared to neglect him.

Ling Yun firmly demanded to be under Jing Zhan's command. Although Jing Zhan fired an arrow that day to rescue Ling Yun from Duanmucheng, he did not know her and did not contact Ling Yun later. However, Jing Zhan's character was already weak, and Ling Yun proposed to enter the camp and first evaluate riding and shooting. After a while, although it was not excellent, it was also qualified. Moreover, based on Ling Yun's military strategy, it was not inferior to Meng Zhan and others. Lei Dongfeng appointed her as Jing Zhan's deputy.

It was Roland's beauty who could see clearly, and she smiled and said, "Miss Zijin's trip was intended to be bright, but the arrow from Battalion Commander Jing was very piercing..."

The officers recruited from the Sichuan Army Military Academy were also awarded the positions of middle and low-level officers such as regiment commanders and battalion commanders according to their different abilities. The addition of these professional officers also slightly made up for the shortcomings of the hasty army of Kuanglan Army and the general quality of soldiers.

As for Dasan Pass, Musahe led 500 Han cavalry to a battalion and 2,000 reserve troops and civilians to station them for a reserve independent regiment. With Musahe's wisdom and sophistication and Liu Renze's echo, it should be fine.

The craftsmen in the ordnance camp who were regarded as treasure by Zhang Ce could only stay in Dasan Pass for the time being, and by the way, they transformed the latest hand crossbows according to Zhang Ce's previous ideas.

"Zhanyang, from the path you mentioned, if you marching for eight hours a day, how long will it take to reach Tongguan at most?" Lei Dongfeng's dark eyebrows were tufted together, looking at Wang Jiantang.

"Sir, for eight hours a day, the soldiers may not be able to provide support for their physical strength, and even if they don't bring too much food and grass, they will not be able to follow up." Wang Jiantang couldn't help but say.

"Zhanyang, I will only ask you, if it can be done, how many days will it take?" Lei Dongfeng asked.

"Well, if the adults insist on doing this, it will probably be achieved within four days." Wang Jiantang estimated.

Wang Jiantang, whose courtesy name was Zhanyang, was 19 years old and from Dasanguan, Sichuan-Yu Road, Sichuan-Shaanxi Province. The only son of the family, his father, was the elder who presented the "death" flag to the army when Lei Dongfeng from Dasanguan that day.

Wang Jiantang's hometown lived in the middle of Sichuan for many years. His father was a famous teacher nearby. He taught people for three years in the empire's compulsory school and was quite famous. Wang Jiantang himself, freely followed his father to learn literature and love martial arts more. He also has a cheerful personality and makes friends. He is like the leader of young people from all over the countryside.

This time, Lei Dongfeng recruited troops at Dasan Pass, and Wang Jiantang, who was alone, connected more than 300 young and strong men, came to join forces to join forces.

Moreover, most of these young and strong men were from local corps training and received regular systematic training from the empire every year. Except for not having really been on the battlefield, they can be said to be successful soldiers.

Lei Dongfeng saw that Wang Jiantang knew the words and had the ability to ride and shoot and kill, and he could control people and command troops. He wanted to appoint him as the captain of the cavalry brigade.

But Wang Jiantang refused to accept it. In his words, "I was not a soldier to get rich and promoted. As long as I can go to battle and kill the enemy, I have no other request!"
