From Soldier To Emperor

"The standard regiments are divided into cavalry regiments, infantry regiments, and artillery regiments."

After Richard entered his decision, the total war system immediately began to rectify its organization.

This kind of standard regiment Richard can change the template at any time according to his own will. Every standard regiment recruited will have a complete command system of middle and high-level officers instead of only company-level basic officers as in the introduction.

Of course, these mid- and high-ranking officers are not added to the original number, but the original quota of soldiers has been changed to the quota of officers.

The introduction of the equipment and clothing of each arms is calculated according to the soldier's standard. The weapons of the basic-level officers may not be much different from those of the soldiers, but the weapons of the middle and high-level officers will basically be turned into revolver and firearms.

Runners and flintlocks and flintlocks have little effect on the battlefield because their range is too close, but self-defense and melee combat are good. There are not many middle and high-level officers, and most of the time there is no need to go to the front line in person. Only equipped with these two weapons, of course, as well as the officer's saber for self-defense.

If it is true that the intermediate and high-level officers need to go to the battlefield, it means that this unit is not far from being completely destroyed. There are weapons left by the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, which will not delay the conversion of middle- and high-level officers into an ordinary soldier on the battlefield for the final battle. Beat.

Richard has always believed that the modern army is the simplest unit in the history of the earth, because the division of troops basically only needs to be divided into three categories-infantry, cavalry, artillery...

Not to mention the complex system of the modern army. Even the older feudal cold weapon army has far more tactical arms than three. Those responsible for hand-to-hand combat are divided into spear units, melee combat units, and heavy-handed combat units. A infantry unit and so on.

Because of this, the generals of the ancient cold weapon era spared no effort to train various all-powerful arms to cope with the ever-changing battlefield situation.

In modern times, infantry soldiers were almost always bayonets with muskets, even light infantry can be matched in this way, elite light infantry who used most early rifled guns can voluntarily give up bayonets.

The cavalry can basically be divided into two types: horse-riding infantry (dragon cavalry) and charge cavalry. All cavalry such as horse-shooting harassment have been eliminated.

In the face of infantry units equipped with muskets and artillery, the traditional riding and shooting rushed up to give people away. The Battle of Baliqiao is a typical case!

The popularity of guns and artillery has pushed the cavalry to two extremes. Either directly charge up and fight head-to-head, or dismount and shoot at the infantry. Unless more advanced guns are used in other combat methods, they will be slaughtered by infantry guns and artillery.

Because cavalry use muskets need to be reloaded immediately, the barrel must be shorter than that of infantry muskets. A short barrel means that the range is poor and the accuracy is poor. So shooting immediately is basically a situation of being slammed by the infantry...

Even the professional dragoons would not shoot at the infantry at once, and even when they dismount, they rarely shoot at the professional musketeers group, but instead use their mobile advantages to find the flanks and weak points of the musketeer group and then dismount and shoot.

To put it bluntly, it is to find a battlefield with more fights to form a local firepower advantage!

Otherwise, if the number of cavalry and infantry is equal, the shooting of cavalry and infantry is purely seeking death.

However, the cavalry regiment, infantry regiment, and artillery regiment mentioned by Richard are not the concept of regiment-level troops in Richard's previous life, but a standard large regiment combat unit, which is equivalent to the division-level combat unit of Richard's previous life.

Because there is no standard organization division such as military division, brigade, regiment, and battalion in this era, the concept of corps often refers to group combat units that can independently support a front.

Therefore, the number of corps is not fixed.

At the same time, the infantry regiment does not mean full infantry, but the main force is infantry, and it will be equipped with auxiliary cavalry and a small amount of artillery to support firepower output.

In the same way, the cavalry regiment is not all cavalry units, but the most important thing for the cavalry regiment is mobility, and naturally it will not be equipped with infantry units. In order to make up for the lack of firepower of the cavalry regiment, it will be equipped with a large number of cavalry cannons.

The Artillery Regiment is a large force that uses artillery intensively. Of course, it is impossible to lack guarded infantry units and auxiliary cavalry units.

It can be said that in this era, any unit cannot be separated from the cavalry unit, because the cavalry can efficiently convey various orders, and perform tactical tasks such as scouts, reconnaissance, and hunting down the ruined soldiers on the march and on the battlefield.

This is also the reason why the light cavalry clearly doesn't look good in combat effectiveness, and is still being joined by Richard into the standard corps.

Soon Richard received the initial template of the Standard Corps from the Total War System.

Richard first pulled out the template of the Standard Infantry Regiment, or the Standard Infantry Regiment.

Then he proposed his own specific modification requirements: "Upgrade the guards to 100 companies, the grenadiers to 10 companies, and the hunters to 10 companies..."

After a series of revisions by Richard, the name of the Standard Corps was also renamed the Standard Corps by Richard according to his own habits.

The Standard Corps will be the main force for Richard's next expansion. A Standard Corps is large enough to undertake combat missions on one front~www.wuxiahere.com~ Infantry Standard Corps: 100 companies of the Guards with a total of 8,000 people. There are 10 companies of grenadiers with a total of 1,200, 10 companies of hunters with a total of 800 people, 10 companies of light cavalry with a total of 600 people, 6-inch howitzers with 20 gunners and 120 gunners, and 20 Parker cannons with 120 gunners, totaling 10,840. The exchange price is 53,000 Qiyun coins. 】

After seeing the aggregated exchange price, Richard suddenly dropped his chin. He suddenly discovered that 100,000 Qi Luck Coins didn't seem to be a lot...

"This artillery is too expensive. The Parker cannon is a defensive weapon. Let's not join the field army for the time being. By then, the Parker cannon will be grouped into a ‘machine gun group’ alone, and perhaps more powerful.

Richard knows that the Parker cannon is not Maxim after all. To form a firepower network, the number must be increased. If the number is reduced and the exchange price is reduced, it is better to simply remove it from the infantry standard army and form a separate Parker cannon. Of the Corps.

After the Parker Cannon was removed, the price of the Standard Infantry Corps suddenly dropped to 33,000 Qiyun coins, which Richard could barely accept...

"Well, in the future, the standard infantry corps will be the main force for external conquests. The light cavalry will act as scouts and messenger cavalry, as well as chase after the war. There are not many 600 people, but it should be enough. The big battle was damaged.

The Guards are the main offensive force. The hunters are used to harass the enemy. The grenadiers are used as special forces. The howitzers provide the necessary firepower advantage. As long as the enemy does not have a large number of artillery, this infantry standard corps can help. A place of defeat! "

Thinking of this, Richard opened the cavalry standard army and began to adjust the collocation.
