I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion, delicious food until you are full..

Before departure, Zhou Huaian had partially adjusted and clarified the military system of the Taiping Army. It mainly included more than 50,000 troops outside the ridge and nearly 30,000 troops in the ridge and seven or eight thousand troops in Annan. The relatively mixed subordinate relationship was re-arranged into the order of the main battle army from one to eight, the second and third lines of guarding, the second and third lines of the main battle army order from one to eight.

It consists roughly of old camps, new camps, temporary camps, supplementary camps, garrison camps, etc., more than 90 camps with different uses and functions. In addition to only the supplementary camps for training tasks and the garrison camps that undertake part of the production tasks, the other old camps must be field elites, the new camps represent regular combat soldiers, and the temporary camps are used to absorb and transform the affiliated rebels of other units.

According to the plan, the order of the First to Eighth Army is a specific operation and command of the front line. It is composed of about six to eight battalions with different functions. Each army has a leading military commander, led by the general, and then left and right deputy generals. Each of them has several (battalion) commanders and other generals, (corps) captains, (brigade) brigade commanders, (team) commanders, (fire) fire chiefs and (flag bearers) five heads.

The remaining second and third-tier garrisons and garrison patrol teams were organized, and the engineering construction was organized. They were classified into more than a dozen key defense and guarding areas of the second-tier ranks according to the area, and were called the garrison commander and commander. They were the rear buffer of the second-tier garrison and the opponent's suppression, and the center of gravity was cleared.

As for daily internal affairs management, logistics supply, equipment maintenance and training, personnel assessment, military discipline rectification and inspection, publicity and education pension, etc., the unified management is still supported by the six Caos and three attendants of the Taiping Army under Zhou Huaian; at the same time, business docking and coordination with the left-behind departments and relevant functional departments that are biased towards government affairs.

In this case, it is a preliminary distinction between the military and government affairs system, the military's battlefield command and operation management functions, mobile combat forces and the opponent's garrison armed forces, which will make the initial distinction and approach the development direction of the modern army in later generations.

In the next step, Zhou Huaian also plans to separate the more detailed military staff functions and become an promotion system; however, this requires a sufficient number of qualified candidates. The short-term support of the military night school and the crash course in the rear will not be fully provided.

Of course, under the current circumstances, only one to five were arranged due to limited conditions. In addition to the first and second armies that were equipped with priority, a considerable number of the other three armies were dissatisfied with the formation, and the fifth army was a special naval army sequence. The corresponding defense and garrison area was only established on the original basis. Guizhou, Tanzhou, Shaozhou and Jiaozhou were established everywhere.

In addition, there are several technical troops and special organizations in Zhou Huaian's hands, including the cavalry camp, the fire troop, the direct battalion, the teaching brigade.

After a large number of rebels complete the preliminary transformation and training, this situation will improve greatly; what is lacking at the moment is still the accumulation of time and more development as a buffer. However, the subsequent interference of the enemy and other external factors does not allow the Taiping Army to focus on development, and it requires the cost of fighting and training while maintaining a deterrent armed force of sufficient scale.

This has resulted in a small number of elite troops, with most of the ordinary soldiers, and a large number of settlement and semi-financial armed forces.

After all, soldiers who are relatively experienced and proficient in a variety of combat skills are actually a relatively high-quality equipment and maintenance cost; because of the same equipment and training investment, they can be armed and trained several times, or even more ordinary soldiers with single-item expertise. Therefore, there are generally only a few and exquisite personal soldiers and jump sequences.

Under normal circumstances, most ancient armies were composed of consumables trained by soldiers with a certain degree of relative proficiency in weapons and equipment. If they were to be supplemented after losses, they would not be more painful and difficult than a small number of elite troops.

Common main combat troops such as swordsman, spearmen, and shooting (bow and crossbow) soldiers. Although they sometimes use other equipment to provide a supplement to combat effectiveness, this is not a normal or a formal state (pursuing the enemy, temporary reinforcements, exhaustion of equipment, etc.). Under special conditions, in areas that are not good at, they have to attack the enemy with their own shortcomings.

The armed civilian and semi-finalized reclamation troops, because they can devote limited training and service time, only master limited queue formations and simple military exercises, and lack the ability to fight frontal in independence, and can only be used for guarding and maintaining security in the rear strongholds and low-intensity use in suppression.

After the lessons and experiences of the General's Mansion earlier, for most of the rebel generals under Huang Chao who were vulgar and uncivilized, it is not enough to see the truth and understand the interests of their generals. Directly displaying muscles and fists is the most effective way of negotiation and communication; as for Huang Chao himself, Zhou Huaian believes that he has his own ability to judge the gains and losses.

So, those yy novels clearly have the strength and ability to dominate the side, but they still think that they are hiding and low-key. Then all kinds of clowns who are wrongly judged are emerging and slapped in the face and slapping the face in a row, and enjoying it. It is purely because of the author's daily inferiority complex and mentality of lack of self-confidence.

So this time, he drew two new and old battalions from the first to the third army, and brought all the naval forces and large ships that could be drawn from the Fourth Army, thinking that the transport, stance, escort and support forces of this trip.

Because Zhu Cun, Cao Shixiong and Zhang Juyan, who had the background of the old rebel army, all asked to go out with their team this time, Bo Chaiping, the military leader who was actually the third person, also rushed from Chenzhou to seize the local area of ​​Jiangling to prevent the attacks from the Liu Jurong army from Shannan Road in the north and the Dongchuan Jiedushi from the west.

Although Chen Jingxuan, the current governor of Xichuan, was the younger brother of Tian Lingzi, who was a nepotist, and was a useless snack for officials who were like polo, the sting and camp foundation left by the former governor Cui Anqian was not to be underestimated.

Before this, the Taiping Army, except for the Third Army left behind Jiangling and the Fifth Army in Tanzhou, led by the remaining troops of the First Army and the Second Army, had officially launched a sweeping offensive against the neighboring Yuanzhou (now Yichun City, Jiangxi) and Hongzhou (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi) to support and preparatory preparations for the nearby alliances in Jiangzhou (Jiujiang City, Jiangxi).

Another major prefecture located on the Yangtze River - Ezhou (now Wuhan, Hubei), is on the route of his trip, so Zhou Huaian personally led his troops to seize it. It can be regarded as a disguised warm-up and preview for possible emergencies and accidents in the future.

"Report, lead the army, and news comes from the temporary tower on the shore..."

At this time, a man walked up to the platform at the top of the boat building and bowed to report:

"The Liu Shifan's troops of the rebel army in Jiangxia City refused to open the door and were unwilling to provide cooperation in transit. Instead, they shot archers and cursed in the city. Therefore, the commander Wang (Tianming) had led the lead-strike selection and jumping to attack Ximen..."

"This is a good idea, so that the team and the horsemen can support and patrol...

Zhou Huaian nodded and expressed his recognition and confidence. Taking advantage of this alliance, he took advantage of the opportunity to collect these provinces. Dazhou located in the Nanchang Basin and the Poyang Lake Plain is also the main direction for the Taiping Army to expand the next step.

This temporary signal tower, which can be assembled and disassembled by the army on a large cart or ship, is one of the latest innovations of the military industry department in the rear; in order to take out the existing finished products and spare parts for this time, it was used.

However, the vehicle-mounted wooden iron parts reinforced structure similar to the mobile whistle tower and the arrow tower cannot be established relatively high, so the corresponding transmission distance has also shrunk significantly, and more layout density is needed to make up for it.

But no matter what, this movable position communication equipment has improved a lot, and the corresponding army's communication and reaction capabilities along the way; Zhou Huaian's troops who were out of the army can always maintain a feedback efficiency of less than one or two days delayed with the territory behind Jiangling.

"Yellow Crane Tower, I'm here..."

Not long after, Zhou Huaian looked at the magnificent city on the distant river and the stone platform on the southwest corner above the river, and the faint building in his heart.

.........

"What kind of men under this Xu monk who killed Qiandao are... can't we explain it carefully?"

At the same time, the new rebel army left Sanyi guarding Jiangxia City led the general Liu Shifan and cursed loudly at the left and right.

"I'll start fighting if I have a disagreement. Is this determined to fight with me? Is it really a matter of using me as a soft persimmon? Why don't you push me to the top of the city? I'll beat these fools back..."

"Send someone to Jiangzhou General's Mansion to ask for help... and say that the surname Xu came to grab the territory by taking the excuse. Let me explain again. They told me to strictly guard against it. If I can't stand it anymore, I can't think of it."

On the other side of the gate of Xiguo City in Jiangxia, dull sounds of chiseling and chopping have already been heard, and groups of helmets and armor gathered behind the door. The armored soldiers who were tightly pressing the door pole and the thick bolts have become heavier and more intense.

Then, these sounds and impacts suddenly disappeared; after a moment that made people feel particularly long and tormenting, there was a deafening sound of sound that was falling down; the lower part of the city gate seemed to be torn apart mercilessly by invisible force.

In an instant, the lower part of the city gate was divided into pieces, and fragments and air waves burst out. The armored soldiers gathered behind the gate were overturned and knocked down a large area like the wind blowing the haystacks, leaving only the bloody moans and wailing sounds in the middle of the human body.

The team then stepped on these without hesitation. The wounded and corpses who had not yet died or struggled to seek help rushed in and pushed back, leaving only half of the air strikes exposed from the city gate. But surprisingly, the enemy outside the gate showed no sign of taking advantage of the opportunity to rush in.

I saw a sudden bright ball of fire flashing as the hazy dust rolled out, and with the sudden surging smoke, it was a large piece of iron projectile that was densely shot out, like torn pieces of paper and cloth strips. The armored soldiers who were stacked together without any room for avoidance were swept by one, and then penetrated and torn apart and then fell to the ground;

It was like smashing countless brightly colored soy sauce jars and material bags in a narrow space; but on the relatively hard and empty walls of the city gate corridor, sparks splashed and violently bounced, causing secondary damage to these fish that were leaking into the net, and even three or four subsequent tragic damage.

After the rapid and fierce howl, there was no movement in the doorway; then there was a Taiping soldier holding a spear and holding a licence and armor rolling in like a rushing undercurrent. Then a shrill scream rang out at the top of the city:

"The enemy has entered the city..."

Speaking of Han and Tang dynasties, there is actually nothing to envy. As the saying goes, the polarized group of poor, rich and powerful martial arts is the one who can use swords to be the most wealthy and supportive of his family, which is the usual good family; on the other hand, he has gone down to become so-called evil boys, rogue thugs and gangsters and underworld groups, the original prototypes, and even the desperate people who kill and rob people. In the end, he is famous in history, but the teenagers who join the army to make achievements and survive to whitewash their identities. Instead of how many righteous knights they have done.
