Xiaoguo who has courage, courage and action to come to the western regions will not be afraid of war. On the contrary, they are eager for war. There may be a trace of uneasiness when they hear that war is about to break out, but it is an instinctive emotion of intelligent creatures, and they are more excited and expected.
Soon, the senior level of the Corps informed the whole army that the war was really going to break out. The news spread all over the battalion, and there were warm cheers everywhere.
"Military morale is available." With a smile on his face, Wang Quan said: "this generation has nearly five months of running in from training to formation, and has the heart to fight. It can be used."
The state of Han inherited the policy of the first Han Dynasty. Young people without training will not be brought to the battlefield at all. Even civilian men as porters will train for three months.
The nature of the western regions Corps is more complex. It is an official and unofficial organization. The backbone comes from the standing army. The quality of the troops under the establishment is uneven, but the quality is relatively good.
"It's worse than the soldiers of counties and counties, but it can also be used to deal with the people of the western regions." Li Kuang knew what kind of troops he was leading: "it took two months to stay here, just to let them adjust their mentality not far from the enemy."
They are stationed 50 miles to the southeast of the bailongdui allied army. It is indeed Li Kuang who wants to adapt the mentality of the army officers and soldiers, and then it is purely to suppress the desire to fight.
Li Kuang is a Lang general. He has some experience in how to command the army. He knows how to deal with an army with a strong War mentality. He can choose to go to war on arrival, but the risk of doing so is too great, either a big victory or a big defeat. He thought he couldn't afford to fail. He chose a more stable approach to suppress the fighting desire of the troops, waiting for the moment when it broke out.
"The enemy's vanguard is about 5000 men and horses." Wang Quan went to the side of the mountain map and ordered a position: "here we are."
It is a flat grassland with a river flowing from west to south. It looks like a good battlefield for field war.
"Here it is." Wang Quan points to the west side of the valley where song ran and others found the enemy forward: "another enemy has arrived, with a number of more than 30000."
"Traces of enemy scouts were also found in the Gobi in the northwest." Li Kuang was talking about the Gobi 60 miles northwest of Yingpan. He said: "the number of enemy troops is in absolute advantage and will not just attack all the way."
Li Kuang's army has only more than 50000 people. They face a lot of enemy forces. There is no accurate data, but it will not be less than 150000 people.
The western regions had a history of being ruled by the various Xia dynasties, and the power of the early Han Dynasty impressed the people of the western regions too deeply. The people of the western regions will never fight with less than the number of Han people. It must be several times as many as the Han people who dare to fight.
"The Allied forces claim 500000, up to 150000?" Wang Quan pointed to the west of the valley and the Gobi in the northwest. He pointed to the Southwest: "there should be another enemy here."
150000 is called 500000? Nothing wrong at all. In the history of Zhuxia, there were 200000 people who dared to claim one million, and thousands who claimed 200000. Anyway, they were bluffing and blustering, emboldening themselves and intimidating the enemy.
Li Kuang, Wang Quan and a group of Zanhua have plans for how to fight and what strategy to adopt. There is already a plan at the tactical level. What should be considered is the strategic aspect.
"Send out 10000 troops to try to wipe out the enemy's forward." Wang Quan said one of the plans. He touched his chin and thought: "if you win, you can wait for work outside the valley to meet the subsequent enemy."
At present, they have only a small amount of experience in fighting with the people of the western regions. In general, they can judge the combat power of the people of the western regions. It should be said that the fewer the number of fighting Han people, the less obvious the advantage here. Once tens of thousands of people fight, the advantage of the Han people will be obvious.
The individual quality of the people in the western regions is not weak, but when it comes to cooperation, it is very poor. With the increasing number of people in the western regions, the cooperation becomes worse.
Han people's individual quality is naturally strong and weak. The problem is that Han people's war stresses cooperation and coordination. When the number reaches a certain amount and the array is arranged, it is a sublimation of quality.
In the era of cold weapons, countries that can become imperial basically have the application of arrays.
Alexander of Macedonia conquered the surrounding countries and nations by spear array and cruise cavalry, and defeated Darius Persia with an array better than Persians.
The Romans also played the array quite smoothly. Their individual quality could not compare with that of the Germanic, Celtic and Slavic. They might rely on the cooperation of "tortoise shell array" and large equipment to teach the three barbarians to be human every minute.
By comparison, the Persians are the weakest of imperial countries. From the Parthian Empire to the Sassanian Dynasty, the only cards were armor mounted charge and bow cavalry. The Parthian Empire was the ace Legion. The archers were defeated by the Roman "tortoise armor array", and the armor cavalry fell under the restraint of the Roman affiliated barbarian giant shield heavy infantry. Naturally, the country was subjugated.
If you check and compare, the Central Plains Dynasty in the cold weapon era is really similar to Rome. They are both mainstream infantry, and they also play very well with large military equipment. The development of the two civilizations is also the best. Another point is that the dynasties within the two civilizations change as frequently.
"Who can be better than Hu Lu just relying on blood courage?"
Only the most threatening enemy in Zhuxia would be called "Hu Lu", and the rest were barbarians.
Li Kuang's order to attack was soon conveyed, and the barracks were immediately busy.
"Bad luck!" Lin MI was unwilling: "I can only return to the team in half a month."
Shi Bo has been ready to fight these days. He is completely ready from armor, weapons to mentality. He was helping his companion tie the rope on his armor. He smelled and looked at Lin MI with a gauze covering his injured arm.
Their team is equipped with armor, the better is metal armor, and the second is leather armor. The standard weapon for battle in array is a small round shield and a spear. There is a sword hanging at the waist of some rich people.
The order to start has just been given, and they have an hour to prepare. Because I don't know where I'm going and whether there will be war on the way, of course, I have to be prepared for war before I leave the camp.
"The kettle must be full." Song ran had already prepared, walked in the queue, occasionally stopped to help someone do something, and scolded: "what do you want to do with your package?", He roughly pulled a package that was being tied to his body and tried the weight: "what's in it? It weighs more than 20 kilograms!"
"It's my wealth." Liang Qu wanted to grab the package, but he didn't dare: "I went back to marry my daughter-in-law and prepared some for my Ji brother."
Song ran didn't open the package. Instead, he threw the package at the foot of a Shi Chang nearby and scolded Liang Qu: "I don't know how many miles of marching. The armor and weapons combined are nearly 40 kilograms, plus the package weighing 20 kilograms. Are you strong or do you expect who can help you carry it?"
Some people who are also putting things on their bodies, they quietly remove things.
"The heavier you are, the more energy you consume. Don't you have strength when you don't want to meet the enemy?" Song ran looked around at the crowd and said to the Shi Chang, "collect, register and record things. Send them to the baggage office for preservation."
What is the natural answer: "promise!"
In fact, the big guy also knows that the baggage office can store goods, but those things are basically earned after working hard. If you don't put them around, you will always feel uneasy. As a result, a few people choose to store them in the baggage office.
Under normal circumstances, we all think that we should accumulate enough property and then spend a sum of freight for the military to send home.
They have only been in the western regions for two months and haven't officially robbed. The basic thing that can accumulate property is that they encounter people from the western regions to fight during patrol and then distribute it according to merit.
Sending the military home requires freight. The length of the journey determines the freight. For people like them who take their lives to make money, every copper plate seems expensive. How can they spend a sum of freight on less property.
Liang Qu looked away from her package and said to Shi Bo with an ugly smile, "if there's anything wrong, it's gone with you."
If the person who deposited the goods is killed or missing, and the death can be confirmed, the baggage office naturally gives the things stored by the deceased to his family, and the freight is still available, just a half discount. If the missing person cannot be confirmed, the baggage office needs a time limit. Generally, the missing person does not appear for about three months. The baggage office will give the items stored by the missing person to his family, that is, there is no discount.
There is another saying about the disappearance. It needs to go through a procedure to determine whether he has become a deserter. Once he is confirmed as a deserter, he will be severely punished. The stored goods are naturally his, but he has to spend at least three years of hard labor.
An hour passed quickly. Song ran gathered his team to form a village organization with other teams. They would meet with other villages to form a song organization, and then the song organization would be combined into a teacher organization.
A division in the state of Han was five thousand people and was commanded by a school captain. The school captain was under the command of general Lang, who was a commander of the army.
The division, a military unit, existed in the spring and Autumn period. At that time, it was divided into five, two, partial, pawn, brigade, division and army. There were five people in each "Five", 25 people in each "two", 50 people in each "partial", 100 people in each "pawn", 500 people in each "brigade", 2500 people in each "division" and 12500 people in each "army". Then it would distinguish between vehicle soldiers and infantry, The above is the establishment of pure infantry. If the chariot soldier is a "ride" unit, a "ride" is basically a "pawn" plus a "Deviation", that is, 150 infantry follow each chariot.
Liu Yan originally wanted to build the Han army with the establishment of a modern army, but he thought about it later.
The establishment of any era has its significance. The most advanced is not necessarily the most suitable. What should be suitable is correct.
Liu Yan listened to a wide range of opinions and continued the military establishment of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but changed the "department" of the former Han Dynasty to "division".
Li Kuang is a Lang general. If he commands the standing army, of course, he can only command one army. He can command more than one standing army. For example, Xie an has been commanding two or three armies.
In the Han Army, only these generals with the prefix "Zheng", "Zhen", "Ping" and "Fu" can command more than three armies. However, so far, the Han state has appointed generals with the prefix "Zheng", and the rest of "Zhen", "Ping" and "Fu" have always been empty names.
Li Kuang's ability to command 50000 troops into the western regions is a semi official and non-governmental organization that has no serious title at all. However, he understood the value of this experience. If there were no big mistakes in the command process, basically a Zhonglang would not be able to escape. He has long wanted to make meritorious service and promotion, otherwise his wife is a Linzi order, which is nothing.
The western regions Corps is commanded by a Lang future, so it is normal for a school captain to command the two divisions. From Li Kuang to anyone below, they all know what this experience means. Lang will be promoted to lieutenant general. If the school captain does a good job, he will be promoted to Lang general. The lower the position, the more likely it will be to jump several levels. For example, a soldier can become a military commander, but the military commander can become a team leader. Who is not fully motivated?
Song Ran is one of the most energetic members. He was originally a military commander, but now he has the title of a temporary team leader. He has a staff of 50 people under his command. He doesn't want to be a military commander when the war is over.
"Five thousand enemy troops, with very complex components, will not have any coordination or tacit understanding." Liu Rui rode on the high horse and walked on the side of the whole army. He said to his commander Shi Fanjin, "it's to fight the lion and the rabbit as much as possible!"
Of course, there was no such animal as lion in Zhuxia. During the Western Han Dynasty, some western countries paid tribute and were raised by Liu Che as an exotic thing. There was a legend of lion in Zhuxia. The number of lions paid tribute to western countries was small. Several lions died one after another and did not breed too much. Soon there was no lion in Zhuxia, but its legend spread and related proverbs.
Fan Jin is not that Fan Jin, and he didn't win.
There was no imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, and it still followed the filial piety and integrity system of the first Han Dynasty.
It's not that Liu Yan didn't want to engage in the imperial examination. There are so many intellectuals in Zhuxia. If all the literate and fluent people are included, I don't know whether there are 100000 people, there is no imperial examination environment at all.
"Since the enemy is a forward and stops at a camp thirty miles away, it is obvious that it came for fighting." Fan Jin had known the terrain and environment there in advance and said, "the field of vision is too wide. The enemy must have a wide range of outposts. It is difficult to have the opportunity of sneak attack."
The flat environment is like that. If a few people can hide and approach carefully, but there is no hiding at all when there are a large number of people, unless the enemy is not vigilant at all. Once the enemy arranges sentries or sends scouts, it is impossible for the army to approach secretly.
Liu Rui chin first said, "that's true."
