After two hundred years, Dayin's army has undergone many reforms and is no longer recognizable compared to when the country was founded.
However, only the five camps of the capital were preserved and were still named after the founding of the country.
The Longxiang Camp, the Huwei Camp, the Feixiong Camp, the Baotao Camp, and the Yingyang Camp.
Each battalion has 10,000 main combat soldiers and 20,000 logistics and auxiliary soldiers.
The chief commander of a battalion is a captain with an important title, such as Captain Longxiang and Captain Huwei, and his troops include swords and shields, spears, bows and crossbows, cavalry, chariots and other types of soldiers.
A single battalion is an army with strong comprehensive combat capabilities.
They are usually stationed in the capital to protect it. If it is not a very important war, it is not their turn to be dispatched and the local army will take care of it.
But this time, Li Jingang's rebellion developed beyond the imagination of the Dayin court.
First, General Li Chenghua took away the Baotao Camp and the Yingyang Camp, and now Yang Dingguo took away the Longxiang Camp, the Huwei Camp, and the Feixiong Camp.
All the elite troops from Dayin's five battalions were dispatched.
If Li Jingang cannot be eliminated, the Dayin Dynasty may be in danger.
"The three elite battalions of the capital are so slow on the march. They are even worse than the soldiers in my Jiangnan area."
Yang Dingguo looked at the staggering team and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
The elite troops of the five battalions in the capital have now become an army demanding money.
Previously, Li Chenghua had to force Emperor Yongchang to use the inner treasury to get two months' military pay, so that the soldiers of the Leopard Camp and the Eagle Camp could be dispatched.
Now Yang Dingguo had to beg for help from everyone and got a month's military pay from the Minister of Revenue Cui Kaiji before he could persuade the soldiers of the three battalions to set off.
After all, as the prime minister, Cui Kaiji did not want to see Xijing being taken.
But these 30,000 "elite troops" did not take the expedition seriously at all. They marched without any vigor and efficiency and were lazy and sloppy.
Yang Dingguo was furious and wanted to kill several officers who performed particularly poorly to establish his authority, but the captains and officers of the three battalions collectively pleaded for mercy.
It is called a plea, but it is actually a group threat.
Yang Dingguo now only hopes that they can perform better on the battlefield.
"Where are Pei Lun and Li Chenghua's armies now? When will they arrive in Xijing?"
Yang Dingguo looked at him seriously and turned to ask the soldier beside him.
"Commander-in-Chief, Pei Lun's 4,000 troops have arrived at Pujinkou. General Li's 20,000 troops..."
The soldier hesitated to speak.
