Valley Emperor

Like Qi Shoulin, he served as the battalion commander of the main infantry battalion as soon as he graduated, and then he was transferred to the staff department of the combat department, which is the most desired by intermediate officers, as a senior combat staff transition. After the transition, he was directly transferred to the main infantry regiment as the head of the regiment. , I dare not say that this is the only one, but after a year, there are really few.

Every step here seems to be just a promotion, but you have to look at other people's positions. The positions that have been held successively are all the most important and promising positions in the Datang Army, especially the staff of the Department of Warfare. Senior combat staff, for school-level officers, this should be the most important step in their life.

Because in recent years, as the Privy Council has become more and more important, the War Department under the Privy Council has become more and more important.

At the same time, because the Datang Army is becoming more and more regularized, especially after the installation of flintlock guns, in the main force of the Datang Army, the spearmen have been gradually withdrawn, and the cold weapons units in the follow-up infantry are no accident. In that case, only the assault battalion remains.

The Datang Army, which is equipped with large-scale guns, is already moving towards modernization and regularization, and its requirements for officers are getting higher and higher.

It is difficult for officers who have not undergone systematic study and training to undertake their increasingly complex command tasks!

This is also why the Datang Army is more inclined to promote officers who have undergone systematic study and training, and it is also why they are more and more willing to promote middle and low-level officers who have served as combat staff in the combat department.

Because the combat staff in the combat department, regardless of whether they are senior combat staff or intermediate combat staff, officers who can hold such positions are basically trained systematically, can be staff officers, and can lead the army to fight. A group of people with the highest overall quality.

This has also led to the role of the combat staff in the combat department becoming more and more important. A large group of middle and low-level officers want to enter, because being able to enter means that your ability has been recognized, basically Don't worry about subsequent promotions.

However, for Qi Shoulin, this position is actually just for the promotion of his military rank, where so many people want to enter. Qi Shoulin's positioning and training direction have never been a mere staff member. Not even the head of an infantry regiment or a deputy division commander or something.

Such a person was directly trained on the spot by the commander of the main infantry division and even the future commander!

Considering this kind of golden and precious position as a transitional position, only young heroes like Qi Shoulin can get this kind of treatment. Others, don't care if they are the sons of the powerful and powerful in the court, such as Hao Bainian's younger brother.

Or the imperial relatives, such as the nephew of the Queen Mother Bai's family!

There is no such treatment at all!

But Qi Shoulin, who received this kind of favorable treatment and regarded the senior combat staff of the War Department as a transitional position, would inevitably be questioned by many people. Why were everyone just ordinary scholars back then who were admitted to the martial arts school , why did you Qi Shoulin enter the Imperial Academy later?

Why is everyone graduating from the Imperial Academy, and why are you able to take the position of the head of the main infantry regiment within seven months of graduation?

There are more officers who have served in the army for many years and are still struggling at the level of captain and major. They saw Qi Shoulin who had a shorter time in the army than them, but got up much faster than them. Also dissatisfied.

We also fought for His Majesty, and participated in countless battles for the rise of the Tang Dynasty. Even many people were injured and bleed. We were all fighting to the death. Hard to boil qualifications?

There are many people who disagree with Qi Shoulin!

Today, Qi Shoulin will bring his 7th Infantry Regiment and 3rd Assault Battalion to announce to those who question his rapid promotion and envy and hate: I climb so fast, not because I am lucky, but because I am lucky. Lao Tzu is more arrogant than you!

Not to mention after graduation, before he entered the Imperial Academy, he created a record of leading an infantry team to wipe out more than 1,500 Ming troops, and was awarded the Red Dragon Sword Medal for this.

After entering the Royal Academy, all the courses were optimal, and the theoretical study was completed ahead of time. During the internship, he served as the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion in the 5th Mixed Regiment of the Second Army. When he took over command of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, he led the troops to fight in four battles in just half a month, annihilated more than 3,000 enemies, captured more than 4,000 people, and captured three county towns.

After the Battle of Jiangnan, he had basically become the actual battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion. After a delay of more than two months, when he returned to the Imperial Academy after his internship, a new battalion commander was sent over.

Otherwise, why did he get the first place in the fourth issue? Why should they be trained as future main infantry division commanders, and why should they be trained as future army commanders?

After graduating, he served as the battalion commander of the main infantry battalion, and then served as the senior combat staff in the Privy Council. After the transition, the Privy Council Department of Quanxu prepared to assign him a new position. It was controversial to serve in that army, because almost all the chief officers of the army wanted him to serve in their own army.

That general didn't want to have such a little enchanting under his command!

You must know that a leader of the main infantry regiment with outstanding ability can change the situation of the battle. A main infantry regiment has more than 3,000 troops, even in a decisive battle of 20,000 to 30,000 people, it can play a huge role. .

The commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Wang Chaohong, even wrote to the Son of Heaven personally, saying that he still lacks a regiment leader who can fight tough battles, and hopes to send a regiment leader who can fight tough battles.

Although due to various unspoken rules, it was impossible for Wang Chaohong to name Qi Shoulin himself, but everyone knew who he was talking about: he was Qi Shoulin.

In the end, Wang Chaohong got Qi Shoulin over as he wished, and served as the head of the 7th Infantry Regiment in the 3rd Infantry Division under his command. After a short period of running-in, Wang Chaohong personally folded for Qi Shoulin, saying that Qi Shoulin took office as the 7th Infantry Regiment. For a long time, he has been loyal to the monarch, hard-working, and has outstanding ability. In various training competitions within the Second Army, the Seventh Infantry Regiment under his command has won the first place in successive battles!

Because, for his petition, he was officially awarded the rank of Colonel of the Army!

Although it is said that after serving as the head of the main infantry regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel, in most cases, he will be promoted to colonel smoothly within half a month or a month, but like Qi Shoulin, a commander and lieutenant general of the army can personally play the role. Please, there are not many.

This kind of thing is not so easy, because it is necessary to avoid suspicion.

Wang Chaohong is not stupid. If Qi Shoulin's ability is slightly inferior, he will not take any risk to recommend it. Otherwise, it is easy to be lied to. If one is wrong, Qi Shoulin is the one he lost in Wang Chaohong for many years. Brother this statement may come up.

Qi Shoulin knew very well about all the above mentioned things. Few people who can climb so fast are stupid.

He is also aware of himself and bears the expectations of many people. He has succeeded. Those who have recommended him, especially a few big men in the army, will laugh happily.

But if he fails, then I am afraid that the most angry will be these people, because it will make those big men in the army feel that they have overlooked and become angry.

As for those who are envious, jealous, and hateful, they will laugh happily one by one, thankful that there is one less competitor.

After Qi Shoulin took out the commanding knife that everyone envied, his face was expressionless, and then he waved the knife and pointed forward obliquely: "Send the order, the whole army will attack!"

He has thoroughly researched all kinds of assault tactics in the past few days. Before the battle, he also personally explained it to the officers at all levels below. Now, he just wants to verify whether his tactics are feasible and successful.

In the next instant, the soldiers of the 7th Infantry Regiment behind him rushed to the Susong City Wall in front like a tide, and the center of the attack was the ruins of the city wall that were only tens of meters away!

However, it is different from the large-scale siege of the Datang Army in the past. In the past, when the Datang Army was on a large-scale siege, it was still the era of arquebuses. Except for the assault battalion, most of the troops, such as the main force of the Seventh Infantry Regiment , or the arquebusier and the spearman are paired with each other, while some spearmen will temporarily abandon the spear and fight directly with the waist knife and the shield.

But now Qi Shoulin's 7th Infantry Regiment is all flintlock spearmen, not a single spearman, not a single sword and shield player, all of them are musketeers!

They launched a charge, but the most basic formation was maintained during the charge!

To be honest, this kind of thing has never happened in the Tang Army!

Because the Datang Army started to equip flintlock guns last year~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but knowing that this summer, they only equipped a few divisions. The first large-scale battle was in the Northern Expedition. After the spear corps actually entered the war, the relatively large-scale battles were fought against the Tatar cavalry.

Or rather, resist the charge of the Tatar cavalry!

In the Battle of Liangshanji, the Fifth Infantry Division resisted the charge of tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry!

The Guards lined up to face the Tatar cavalry in the Battle of Anping!

It's all like this!

However, using all the musketeers equipped with flintlock guns to fight large-scale frontal field battles and siege battles, to be honest, the Tang Army has never done such a thing.

There have been hundreds of people and thousands of people, but this kind of small and medium-scale battle does not mean that the troops with pure flintlock guns are suitable for head-to-head battles and sieges, because small and medium-scale battles, the influence of the outside world It is really too big, and it is possible that the commander's flash of inspiration will have a major impact.

And today's Susong battle is the time to test whether all the pure musket troops equipped with flintlock guns can take on the tough battle!
