The Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun is said to be the Sixteen Cavalry, but this is just a title. Its real organization in the military system of the Great Qin Empire is actually a single army formed by cavalry.

The military system of the Great Qin Empire is still in line with the organization at the beginning of the founding of the country. Ten people are a small flag, five small flags are a general flag, two general flags are a hundred households, ten hundred households are a thousand households, and five thousand households are a single bathroom.

The Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun is known as 150,000 troops, but King Quanyinning expanded his organization for various reasons. The real combat part, that is, the most elite, is essentially the Sixteen Cavalry. Calculated by one guard, about 5,600 people, the combat force of the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun is only more than 90,000.

"The organization of the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun was essentially taking advantage of loopholes in the court."

On the way out of the city, Wu Dianshan introduced Li Chen the situation of the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun.

"What do you mean?" Li Chen asked.

Wu Dianshan replied: "Yanyun's sixteen cavalry are essentially the sixteen guards, and the imperial court stipulates that one guard should not be less than 4,000 and no more than 6,000 guards. This redundancy is already very large. Once the standard is lower than the standard, the system must be abolished. If it is higher than that, it will either be abolished or reported to the Ministry of War for upgrade."

"But for the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun, it is obvious that King Ning is unwilling to accept whether it is abolishing the establishment or upgrading, so he thought of a way to take advantage of the loophole."

"Under normal circumstances, the military force of one guard has more than 5,000, covering outposts, logistics supplies, reconnaissance, ordnance storage and other management organizations. Just like the Crescent Pass, the military force of one guard is 5,000, but at least one thousand are non-combat units. This is because the Crescent Pass has a special status, so the organization of combat units is far beyond other conventional troops."

"If it is an ordinary war army in the mainland, there will be at most 3,500 combat units. If it is in a local garrison, half of them will be considered good."

"King King used various means to fill all the troops of the entire guard into combat units, while other non-combat units were uniformly divided into outside the organization. In this way, after doing some tricks on the roster, half of the elite soldiers were added out of thin air."

Li Chen said in surprise: "Why have you never heard of such a method before?"

Wu Dianshan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the current domestic situation is that most generals and officials are corrupt. The guards in other places are stationed in the army. It is good if you don't find a way to remove some combat units to use them for empty salary. How can you increase it? You must know that the cost of cultivating a combat unit is much more expensive than that of non-combat units. Therefore, only a very small number of ambitious vassal kings in the country have the strength and motivation to do this."

Li Chen was silent when he heard this.

Just listening to Wu Duanshan's words, there is no need to test it at all. Li Chen knew that what Wu Duanshan said was all facts and there was no falsehood.

After silently remembering this matter, Li Chen asked again: "How is the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun itself? In terms of combat effectiveness."

Wu Dianshan thought about it and said, "The combat power of Yanyun's sixteen cavalry is more than 90,000 people. As far as the last general knows, there are 20,000 heavy cavalry, 10,000 elite infantry, 5,000 sharpshooters, and the rest are light cavalry."

"In addition to King Ning, Yanyun's Sixteen Cavalry was led by two generals, one of whom was named Li Songru, who was good at strategy and had a very elegant strategy. The combat policy of Yanyun's Sixteen Cavalry and the arrangement of troops were all led by Li Songru."

"The other person is named Ye Wang. His bravery is not inferior to the last general. He led 30,000 light cavalry to call Tiefutu. He is a terrifying cavalry, the absolute elite of Yanyun's sixteen cavalry."
