Chapter 314: Unaccustomed "Military Contracting"

Qin Qiong, the winged heavenly general under Li Tao and Bai Yuqi, is also an old brother from Wagangzhai, and there is no need to be polite when the two sides meet.

Therefore, after Qin Qiong directly introduced the two of them to Bai Yuqi, the "new mountain" of the Zodiac Twelve Star Stage, he went straight to the point and talked about what happened after they entered the fog area.

Because the Tang Army, which was the first to enter the fog area and the first to disappear, was led by Li Daozong, the "Pyongyang Provincial Marching Commander".

The Tang army led by Li Tao, the "Chief of the Liaodong Road March", was only a follow-up force that rushed to the rescue after receiving Li Daozong's disappearance, so the work of stating to Bai Yuqi was naturally responsible for Li Daozong, the Li Tang clan.

The conquest of Goguryeo went smoothly at first.

Because of the connection of the water and land transportation network, there is a direct rail transit line to Liaodong for logistics transportation.

Therefore, it was only a few days from sending 5,000 soldiers, conscripting 10,000 mercenaries, renting 15,000 logistics auxiliaries from the Financial Chamber of Commerce, and a total of 30,000 troops to arrive in Liaodong.

The logistics and transportation project "contracted" by the Financial Chamber of Commerce, and the grain, straw, baggage, military horses, ordnance, and other materials collected on the spot in the eastern Liaoning region were prepared before the army arrived.

Because of the reform of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the original government military system was changed to a mercenary system, and each province only had 10,000 permanent professional soldiers.

Therefore, after Li Daozong received the military order, he drew 2,000 soldiers from Hedong Province and Hebei Province and rushed to the camp in Liaodong by special train by steam train.

After only half a day's rest, Li Daozong took over the troops and led the army to attack, and the whole army crossed the Liao River in half a day.

To be able to be so fast, it was all thanks to the Financial Chamber of Commerce to set up a 3,000-strong [Tiangongmen] army engineering team to build a ferry port and build a large number of pontoon boats on the west bank of the Liao River.

When Li Daozong arrived with his army, he could directly rush across the Liao River without stopping, and the information detected by the reconnaissance eagle that was the first to be released was also sent to him, the commander of the army, as soon as possible.

To say that Li Daozong is also a famous general who has fought old battles.

When has there ever been a war, logistics rushed ahead of the army.

Not only did the bridge be built, but also the information was collected by the way, such a comfortable thing?

Although it is said that "the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first", but the logistics project outsourced to the Financial Chamber of Commerce is inevitably a little too vigorous, right?

It is precisely because of this "noble soldier's speed" marching speed that Li Daozong's troops have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo before the other party has made any moves.

Even under the nose of the other party, he stayed in the front-line camp built in advance by the engineering team of the army, and rested and waited for the battle.

The 5,000 soldiers said they were here to fight, but they really came to fight.

As soon as they arrived at the front-line camp, not only did the logistics auxiliaries take over the horses to wash and feed, but the engineering team of [Tiangongmen] also set up marching tents.

There is also a master of the Huotou Army who was requisitioned from [Ding Lingmen], who prepared a hot meal for them, and I can't wait to even help them boil the bath water.

Just waiting for them to come, they can eat and drink enough and sleep well, and like the uncle, they don't have to do anything to recuperate, recover their mental and physical strength, and go out to play with others.

This is inevitably too comfortable, and a bunch of Datang soldiers are not used to it?

Are all the people in Goguryeo blind? How did this allow such a large group of craftsmen and cooks to accomplish so many things under their noses?

Not to mention that Li Daozong is a little unaccustomed to it, it is estimated that Goguryeo is also a little unaccustomed to it.

Without receiving any information, suddenly a huge "army" of tens of thousands of people came out and began to build a big camp under their noses.

To tell the truth, the logistics corps formed by the Financial Chamber of Commerce is blatant and fearless.

guessed that the Goguryeo side had died, and after discovering their "big army", they did not dare to make any attacks.

After all, the logistics corps had mercenary scouts with scout eagles, scouting the Goguryeo patrol along the way, directly avoiding the other party's eyes and ears and driving straight in.

couldn't avoid it, and the mercenary scouts simply took the outposts and patrols of other people's homes, directly turning the rear of Goguryeo into blind and deaf.

By the time the Goguryeo side found that the team sent out to patrol every day was gone, the logistics corps had already repaired the camp and started cooking under their noses.

But even if you find out, what can you do?

In Goguryeo, a city has a total of only a few thousand people, and there are only a few hundred soldiers who can be counted as soldiers.

Those hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers are not as strong as the logistics corps, even if the city gate is blocked by the Tang army camp, they don't dare to come out and send them to death?

With such a small number of troops, a battalion of tens of thousands of people, without the help of mercenaries, the craftsmen of the engineering team can call them to death with axes and hammers, believe it or not?

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the task of the logistics corps was to bear the logistics, the affairs of fighting the war would not be in their hands.

Maybe Li Daozong's army didn't arrive, and even the city was taken over by the logistics corps, and the camp was directly repaired to the city.

As for sending people to the rear to pass information?

Send a messenger out, and before he could get far, he was caught by a mercenary scout.

What do you tell them to do when they let a carrier pigeon go out and give the Scout Eagle more food?

To be honest, this new type of "military contracting" mode of warfare.

Not only are both Datang and Goguryeo a little unaccustomed, but the Financial Chamber of Commerce as a contractor is also a little unaccustomed, and various problems must still exist.

However, the flaws are not hidden, and all kinds of problems exposed in the process of implementation can be run in and summarized in practical actions, and you will be proficient after two more times.

In this military logistics contracting model, in which "specialized things are handled by specialized people".

Li Daozong, who was confused, arrived in Goguryeo with 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 mercenaries as smoothly as an outing.

Not to mention encountering resistance along the way, I didn't even see a Goguryeo scout...... All of them were captured by the mercenary escort of the Logistics Corps and sold to the coolie battalion of the Financial Chamber of Commerce.

This is called working without delay to earn extra money, and a captive is worth 200 yuan for a mercenary roll.

If it weren't for the mercenary guild's strict prohibition, mercenaries would disobey orders and do things outside the scope of the mission when performing tasks.

It is estimated that Xuansu City has been hollowed out by them, and the Goguryeo people and soldiers there are all uproaring tickets!

It stands to reason that along the way of the Tang Army, there is a special rail train to transport it, and there is a logistics corps to pick it up, and it has enjoyed the whole road like the uncle, and there is no problem of fatigue running from afar.

But the bad thing is that after Li Daozong arrived at the front-line camp, he decided to settle the army first and fight the next day, but something happened after a night's rest!
