Chapter 966: The Rise of Firearms - Germination
The surrendered general Wang Li served as the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Yingyang Army.
【Name】: Wang Li (king level)
【Dynasty】: Qin Dynasty
【Identity】: Commander of the Fourth Legion of the Great Xia Yingyang Army
【Profession】: Senior General
【Loyalty】: 75 points
[Commander]: 70 【Military Power】: 72 【Intellect】: 55 【Politics】: 55
[Special Features]: Brave (enhancing the attack power of the troops by 20%, increasing the marching speed by 15%.)
【Technique】:
【Equipment】: Qin Jian
[Evaluation]: Wang Li is a famous general of Qin.
Wang Li was the grandson of Wang Jian, a famous Qin general, and was recruited by Caiyunzhinan after the Battle of Julu.
Caiyun City surrendered, not only sent the saint Zhang Liang, but also took over the military general Wang Li. Just to fight for this. If Caiyun Zhinan does not commit suicide in the future, Ouyang Shuo could consider spareing him once.
…………
The surrendered general Wei Yan served as the commander of the Fifth Legion of the Yingyang Army.
【Name】: Wei Yan (king level)
【Dynasties】: Three Kingdoms (Shu Han)
【Identity】: Commander of the Fifth Legion of the Great Xia Yingyang Army
【Profession】: Senior General
【Loyalty】: 68 points
[Commander]: 70 【Military power】: 75 【Intellect】: 45 【Politics】: 35
[Special Features]: Brave (enhancing the attack power of the troops by 20%, increasing the marching speed by 15%.)
【Technique】:
【Equipment】: Long Knife
[Evaluation]: Yan was good at raising soldiers, was extremely brave and arrogant, and he avoided them at that time. He was brave and had a stubborn responsibility, and was also valuable. He looked at his actions, followed his rules, and brought disasters and blamed him.
Wei Yan in history was too conceited and sighed and hated his talents. He was eventually killed, which also had a hint of self-inflicted consequence. This time he was defeated by Lai Hu'er and became a prisoner, and he was still quite dissatisfied.
Therefore, Wei Yan's loyalty was also the lowest among the several surrendered generals.
…………
The Yingyang Army mainly had new faces, while the City Guard Army was promoted to the dynasty's former generals.
Ma Teng, the commander of the First Division of the Third Army of the Imperial Guards, was promoted to the commander of the Third Army of the City Guards. Baili Shi, the commander of the First Division of the Fifth Army of the Tiger Army, was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army of the City Guards.
Ma Teng's promotion indicates the full rise of the Three Kingdoms generals in the Daxia Army. Only those who served as the commander of the army were Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Wei Yan and Zhang He.
Including Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, two navy admirals, a total of eleven people, is really amazing.
With the adjustment of generals in this round, all the historical generals in the Great Xia army who can make a move have been promoted to the position of commander of the legion. The reserves of generals accumulated before were really exhausted this time.
That's why the last commander of the City Guards was a bit special.
Lin Yi, the commander of the Second Division of the Second Division of the Imperial Guards, was promoted to the commander of the Fifth Army of the City Guards. Lin Yi also became the first general among the indigenous generals to serve as the commander of the legion.
Fortunately, Lin Yi has been promoted to a king-level general and will not cause criticism.
Like Lin Yi, Zhao Sihu, Lei Jingtian, Shi Hu, Shanzhu, Guo Liang, Shaobu, Jiang Kai, Daiqin, Sun Tengjiao, Sun Chuanlin, Liao Kai, Heiqi and other indigenous generals were also promoted to king-level generals one by one.
These military generals who grew up with the territory have become the most loyal and reliable reserve generals of the Daxia Army.
…………
In view of the earth-shaking changes in the dynasty border, taking advantage of the opportunity to adjust the troops, Ouyang Shuo negotiated with the Privy Council and made some adjustments to the defense areas of the armies.
In the eastern border, the main threat of the dynasty was the Overlord City, and the Hu Ben Army, which was still led by Sun Bin, was stationed. The difference is that after the dynasty took over the southern Hunan Province, the threat from the north of the Lingnan Province was immediately lifted, and the Hu Ben Army was evacuated from the Lingnan Province in full, and all the five major armies were stationed in the southern Fujian Province.
As a result, the pressure faced by Bawang City has increased significantly.
In addition, the Tiger and Ben Army also have the responsibility to monitor the Great Sui Dynasty. Although the Great Sui Dynasty looks like a harmless sick cat, it is still a tiger after all, with millions of troops, so it has to be guarded.
In the northern border, the Leopard Army led by Han Xin went north from the southern Sichuan Province and stationed in the northern part of the southern Hunan Province, responsible for monitoring the every move of Danyang City.
In the western border, the Yingyang Army led by Li Mu entered Shu, one to monitor the Shu Han Dynasty and the other to monitor the Luoye City. As for the Longxiang Army, which is currently staying in Shu, will be withdrawn to the Yunnan Province.
Like the Hu Ben Army, the Longxiang Army also has the responsibility to monitor the Dali court.
The arrangement here is quite meaningful.
The Shu Han Dynasty and Luoye City are just short-term threats to Shu. The real troubles in the future will still be Tubo in the west, Xixia in the north, and even Mongolia in the north.
Li Mu fought against the Huns for a long time and was experienced, so he was more suitable to station in Shu than Bai Qi.
The Longxiang Army led by Bai Qi retreated to the Yunnan Province and seemed to be idle, but in fact, the ASEAN countries crossed the border south of the Yunnan Province.
Ouyang Shuo laid the groundwork in advance and planned to let Bai Qi, the god of killing, focus on expedition to ASEAN in the future, so that the name of the god of killing will truly resound throughout the world.
In addition to the four major armies, the defense areas of the city guards have also been adjusted.
Since the City Guards have reached full corps, it is impossible to all be stationed in the Lianzhou Basin, which is too wasteful. The five legions of the City Guards all have their own defense areas.
The First Army of the City Guards was located in the west camp outside the Shanhai City; the Second Army of the City Guards, namely the Mu Guiying Army, still guarded the Mulan Fortress and guarded the passes to the north of the capital.
The Third Legion of the City Guard Army, which is the Ma Teng Army, took over the defense mission of the Fifth Leopard Army Corps, and was stationed in Tianjing City, Xunzhou County, to protect the Daxia Satellite City.
The Fourth Army of the City Guard, namely the Bailishi Legion, moved to defend Beihai City and guarded the south gate of the capital. The Fifth Army of the City Guard, namely Lin Yi's Legion, was in charge of the east camp outside Shanhai City.
In this way, the city guards guard Shanhai City were not airtight, and they really lived up to the name of "City Guard".
…………
After the army adjusted its defense zone, it was impossible to build a series of military buildings such as fortresses, bunkers, observation decks, outposts and other military buildings on the border to truly establish a solid border defense line.
Unlike before, the technological content of the defense line built this time is higher. In addition to routine fortifications, a large number of turrets are also required to be built, with P1 artillery as the main defensive weapon.
This form of defense is expensive and mainly based on defense, and is mainly planned on the narrow border line between the Northern Xinjiang Province and Handan City.
As for the northern, eastern and western borders, Daxia already has the initiative in the war, so it does not have to make such a big fuss and spend huge amounts of money to build a useless "Magino Line of Defense".
The exception is that according to Ouyang Shuo's idea, the War Readiness Administration will build a special military defense line in Shu, targeting the Shu Han Dynasty, which is already in the same power as the Daxia.
The Shu Han Dynasty is now in a state of "isolation", but Ouyang Shuo wants to solidify this isolation. He plans to build bunkers on the hillsides around Chengdu County and set up artillery pieces to completely block Chengdu County, so that the Shu Han Imperial Guards could not get out of the basin where Chengdu County was located.
Although this plan took a long time and cost a lot, Ouyang Shuo still felt it was worth it.
If you want to win a royal city with millions of troops, a strong attack is undoubtedly the worst strategy, and the gain is not worth the loss. Only by trapping him to death and allowing him to surrender voluntarily is the best strategy.
The entire Chengdu County is a large basin, and its natural geographical characteristics ensure the smooth implementation of the "Danglong" plan. Quanzhou and Dali are both located in relatively open areas, so it is not convenient to implement similar plans.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo had instructed the combat readiness agency to cooperate with the Longxiang Army and the Huben Army to build some hidden defense and early warning fortifications outside Dali County and Quanzhou County.
It does not only serve as an early warning function to block the dynasty army.
…………
Appointing military generals, adjusting defense areas and planning defense lines are the focus of this round of military reorganization. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also took this opportunity to carry out a partial reshaping of the entire army.
The focus of reshaping is on the firearm.
After several major battles, the role of firearms on the battlefield became increasingly prominent and became the "star" on the battlefield. Moreover, the industrialization of the dynasty began to be on track, and the production and manufacturing of firearms became increasingly mature.
With this objective condition, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Privy Council to gradually equip each field legion with a musket brigade directly under the legion and a special artillery force from now on.
At the same time, at the level of the army, each of the four armies of Longxiang, Huben, Baotao and Yingyang is equipped with a flight squadron, which serves as early warning, reconnaissance and strategic bombing.
Ouyang Shuo did this with two intentions.
First, we literate the generals of Daxia and popularize common sense in using firearms, so that the generals, at least at the level of the legion commander, are deeply aware of the subversive changes that firearms bring to the army.
It is even said that Ouyang Shuo had a detailed discussion with Sun Wu, the principal of the Army Martial Arts Hall, and even spent a lot of money to hire real-life military experts to offer hot weapons war courses at the Army Martial Arts Hall.
The purpose is to keep the dynasty generals in line with the times and focus on the future.
In the future, whether in the game or on the planet of Hope, cold weapons wars will not be mainstream. The real war masters must be hot weapons, or even more advanced energy weapons.
Although the firearms are still far from replacing cold weapons, Ouyang Shuo must prepare for the future.
Of course, the Age of Hot Weapons does not mean that the individual bravery of the generals will be useless. For example, when arriving on the planet of Hope in the future, the combination of the generals and the mechas will probably create extraordinary sparks.
No matter when, personal force will not be completely replaced by weapons and equipment.
Second, give the Daxia army a chance to train troops.
How to command a firearm unit? In addition to going to the Army Martial Arts Hall to study, you also need to have practical experience, and experience often requires time to accumulate.
Daxia now configures musket brigades and artillery units at the first level of the legion, which is to give all the corps commanders a chance to train troops and let them put what they have learned into practice.
