Yan Yun sixteen cavalry, said to be sixteen cavalry, but this is just a name, its real establishment in the army system of the Qin Empire is actually an army composed entirely of cavalry.

the military system of the Qin Empire still follows the establishment at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China. Ten people are a small flag, five small flags are a general flag, two general banners are 100 households, 100 households are 1000 households, and 5,000 households are one guard.

the sixteen cavalry of Yanyun is known as 150000 soldiers and horses, but it is all because King Ning has expanded his establishment for various reasons. Its real combat part, that is, the most elite one, is essentially sixteen guards. Based on the number of about 5600 men in one guard, the real combat strength of the sixteen cavalry in Yanyun is only over 90,000.

"the establishment of the sixteen riders of Yanyun is essentially a loophole in the imperial court."

on his way out of town, Wu Yanshan introduced the situation of Yanyun Sixteen Riding to Li Chen.

"what do you say" Li Chen asked.

Wu Qianshan replied, "the sixteen riders of Yanyun are essentially sixteen guards, while the imperial court stipulates that one guard has no less than four thousand and no more than six thousand. This redundancy is already very large. Once it is lower than the standard, it will be considered to abolish the establishment, but if it is higher than that, it will either be abolished or reported to the army department for upgrading."

"but for Yanyun Sixteen Rider, it was obvious that King Ning was unwilling to accept either the abolition of the establishment or the upgrading, so he thought of a way to exploit the loophole."

"normally, the strength of Yiwei is more than 5,000, which already covers the management establishment of outposts, logistics baggage, reconnaissance, ordnance custody, and so on. Like the Crescent Moon pass, the strength of Yiwei is 5,000 men, but at least 1,000 are non-combat units, and this is still because of the special status of the Crescent Guan pass, so the establishment of combat units is far higher than that of other conventional troops."

"if it is an ordinary field army in the mainland, the combat unit will be 3500 at most, and if it is in a local guard, it would be nice to have half of it."

"King Corning filled the entire strength of the first guard into combat units by various means, while other non-combat units were uniformly divided out of the establishment. In this way, after tampering with the roster, more than half of the elite troops were added out of thin air."

Li Chen was surprised and said, "Why have you never heard of such a trick before"

Wu Bianshan said quietly: "your Highness, in the current domestic situation, most officials are greedy and cowardly. Guards in other places do not find a way to get rid of some combat units to eat empty pay. How can they increase it you know, the cost of training a combat unit is much more expensive than that of non-combat units, so only a very small number of ambitious kings in the country have the strength and motivation to do this."

Li Chen was silent.

just listening to Wu Yanshan's words, there is no need to make textual research at all. Li Chen knows that what Wu Yanshan said is all true and not false.

wrote this down silently, and Li Chen asked, "what about Yanyun sixteen riding itself" In terms of combat effectiveness. "

Wu thought about it and said, "Yanyun sixteen riders have more than 90,000 fighting forces on the surface. As far as the general knows, they include 20, 000 heavy cavalry, 10, 000 elite infantry, 5, 000 sharpshooters, and the rest are light cavalry."

"besides King Ning, Yanyun Sixteen Cavaliers are led by two generals, one named Li Songru, who is good at strategy and extremely elegant in strategy. Li Songru is responsible for the combat policy and troop arrangement of Yanyun Sixteen cavalry."

"another man named Ye Wang is not inferior to the last general. he leads 30,000 light riders to ride on the Tiefu Tu. He is a frightening cavalry, and he is the absolute elite among the sixteen riders of Yanyun."rt the morning.Li Chen came to the imperial stage from the side, stood beside the dragon chair, looked at the civil and military officials below, and said with a smile, "this morning, this Hall of Sup...
