Chapter 29 Section 3 Reforming the Army

Among the series of new policies implemented by Li Yuanhao, his reform of the military is the most peculiar.According to historical records, he even specially set up several special forces with different functions.So, why did Li Yuanhao set up these special forces?What is so special about these troops? Li Yuanhao's troops have a lot to pay attention to.The most elite troops are called the Iron Forest Army, also known as the Iron Kite Army, which are actually heavy armored cavalry, similar to the Iron Buddha and Kidnap Horses of the Jin Dynasty.The number of the Iron Forest Army is only 3,000, and it is the most elite army composed of the best horses and the best armor in Xixia.The difference from the kidnapped horse in the Kingdom of Jin is that the kidnapped horse connects three horses together, while the Tielin Army locks the man and the horse together. If you want to get off the horse and run away, there is no way!These 3,000 people, in the battle, there is no retreat, no life, no life, so they can only rush forward.

In addition to the Tielin Army, there is also the Qinsheng Army.This army has 100,000 people and is the largest armed force in Xixia.As the name suggests, the Capture and Survival Army went to the battlefield to capture captives. After capturing the captives, they underwent ideological reform and were incorporated into the Xia Army to fight;These 100,000 people are dedicated to this. There is also a troop called Liubanzhi, which is equivalent to Li Yuanhao's Yulin Army. All of them are filled by noble children, with about 5,000 people, and there are six teams in total. The least number of troops is called the Poxi Army, only 200 people, they are the artillery, the task is to operate the trebuchet, and it is their turn to show their skills when attacking the city.

Li Yuanhao's most inventive and creative is that he compiled and trained an army called Mr. Zhuang. The number of this army is as high as more than 100,000, all of which are composed of captives.Let Mr. Chong go first in the war to reduce the casualties of party soldiers, because you are captives and your lives are worthless.
