Chapter 558

Huangfu Chaobo a listen, this is not some similar to the Tang Dynasty's military system? There are local garrisons at the local level, and central warfighters at the central level. Garrisons are local defense forces, and warfighters are mobile forces. Once there is a war, the garrison will keep close watch on the city, and then send soldiers to support it. This method is feasible, and there is no need to deploy soldiers here and there every time there is a war.

But what Lou GUI said is really a question. We must consider how many troops should be stationed in each place. It's no use if there are fewer soldiers and there are wars. If there are more soldiers, there is no money and food to support. Moreover, it's not a matter to recruit so many soldiers to stay idle all day long.

After hearing this, they all nodded. It is true that the number of troops stationed in cities of different sizes and locations is certainly different, and the situation of troops needed in County, county and state cities is also different.

Take Henan Province as an example, Luoyang and the surrounding counties need the same forces, otherwise they are defending. Now that the train of thought has been settled, then the people will discuss the situation of the required troops for each city pass.

The number of garrisons, the number of infantry and the number of cavalry should be discussed one by one.

After a whole day's discussion, the general system and the arrangement of troops were determined.

First of all, the soldiers were divided into auxiliary soldiers, guard soldiers and combat soldiers. The main purpose of recruitment in wartime is to assist in the transportation of grain and grass materials and to assist the garrison to carry the materials for the garrison. The garrison and the warfighter are real soldiers.

After discussion, several people decided that the garrison level should be limited below level 35, that is, the intermediate arms below level 7. War soldiers are limited to high-level and guard level arms above level 7. The composition of infantry is the same as before, with a basic composition of 1000 units. Each unit consists of 400 soldiers of sword and shield, 400 soldiers of spear, and 200 soldiers of bow and arrow or crossbow.

However, cavalry and special arms form a separate army and are not included in ordinary infantry.

The number of garrisons placed in each city pass is 3000 to 5000 in the county level, and the counties with special positions are counted separately, equipped with one village or one song of ordinary cavalry; the number of garrisons at county level is 10000 to 20000, equipped with one to three ordinary cavalry, and the number of garrisons at special positions is counted separately; the number of garrisons at state level is 20000 to 40000, equipped with three ordinary cavalry to one school.

In addition to the county, there are also various passes and water army camps. Now Luoyang army has more than 10000 water army, and there are three big ports and one water stronghold in the water army camp. The three big ports are Mengjin port, xiaopingjin port and Hanoi port, and the water stronghold is hulaoguan water stronghold.

Huangfu Chaobo then found out why Luoyang is known as a place of four places. NIMA has to be guarded everywhere. He managed to gather up more than 10000 water forces and had four bases to defend.

Hanoi port is the only big port in Hanoi, and it is also the barrier for the eastern princes to enter the waters of Luoyang. Therefore, it is necessary to station heavy troops. The water army should at least have one school of troops, and the garrison of the water stronghold should at least have one school of troops. Mengjin and xiaopingjin are close to each other, and Mengjin is the most important port in Luoyang. Therefore, Mengjin is the most important port in the two places, so Mengjin also needs one school The Garrison should also reach one school.

As for the other two places, the main one can not have so many troops. One for each of xiaopingjin and hulaoguan water stronghold, and one for the garrison is enough.

In addition to these places, there are also garrisons at several passes, Hulao pass, Sishui pass, Han Hangu pass and Qin Hangu pass. Oh, by the way, the Ji pass in Hanoi will be added in the future. It seems that in addition to Qin Hangu pass, other passes will become the passes in the territory.

However, now Hulao pass and Han Hangu pass have to garrison more than ten thousand soldiers, and the number of cavalry in them can not be less than two thousand. As for the rest, we will talk about it at that time.

In this way, if we only calculate the minimum requirement in Luoyang, we need to have a total of 74000 soldiers and 6000 to 7000 cavalry.

In this way alone, the monthly grain and grass consumption of the garrison reached nearly 160000 stones, and the required salary was 57000 Guan. Next is the number of soldiers. It is also a difficult problem to maintain the number of soldiers.

Several people discussed for a long time, but they didn't decide. They simply didn't want to think about it. Instead, they calculated how many soldiers and horses were left in Luoyang, and then determined the number of soldiers and horses according to the total number of soldiers and horses.

After nearly a month's war, there were more than 80000 soldiers (plus 20000 newly recruited soldiers) in Luoyang. At last, there were 47000 soldiers left. Among them, four thousand soldiers under Dugu Xiong didn't take part in the war, so there was no loss.

In terms of cavalry, Huben cavalry had 5000 cavalry units. After several battles in a month, they lost 1000 cavalry units and were left with 4000 cavalry units. He had twenty-three thousand soldiers and two thousand cavalry. In addition, the 15000 soldiers and 1000 cavalry under Huaxiong's command of Hulao pass were held down by Huangfu Chaobo, 3000 in Sishui pass, 6000 in Yanshi and Gongxian, and 9000 in Gucheng.

There are also the remaining 30000 troops of Zhang Yang's Hanoi army, and 10000 people who took over from Lu Bu. Finally, in addition to the 3000 Baima Yicong and 2000 ordinary cavalry brought by Zhao Yun and the 2000 Xiliang iron cavalry led by Huang Wudi, except the 10000 infantry soldiers taken away by Pei yuanshao yesterday, the total strength in Luoyang now is more than 130000 infantry soldiers, as well as the 4000 tungzi troops, the 4000 Huben cavalry troops, the 3000 Baima Yicong, the 2000 Xiliang iron cavalry troops and the 5000 ordinary cavalry troops.If you subtract the 74000 guards, there will be 56000 left. Of course, if you need to, there will be 60000 Nanyang army captives available. In the end, 15000 heavy infantry can be used, and the remaining 45000 ordinary soldiers will be more than 20000.

Therefore, in addition to these special arms, there are more than 100000 troops to choose from. If it's possible, Huangfu Chaobo really wants to keep all these soldiers. If you add them up in this way, there will be more than 200000 troops. Taking Luoyang as an example, if you want to support 200000 troops, it's just a fool's dream. This is not counting the tens of thousands of soldiers in the water army. If you add the water army, there may be 300000 troops.

After much consideration, Huangfu Chaobo finally decided to set up two battalions of soldiers and horses for the infantry, namely the Longlu camp and Huben camp, in addition to the addition of several special arms to one school and the ordinary cavalry to two schools. Each battalion had four schools, one for the heavy infantry, one for the guard infantry, and the other two for the ordinary infantry.
