Chapter 315: Get Him 50,000 Riders First
That's what the basic strategy looks like.
It was unrealistic for the Han army to go north for the first time and go directly into the desert.
In the early stage, it was mainly defensive, relying on the Great Wall to consume the energy of the Huns.
At the same time, the training of cavalry was accelerated, and at the same time, it was also waiting for the innovation of weapons in the rear.
Fighting the Huns, to be honest, Wang Bu is not hungry and really doesn't plan to spend hundreds of years to do it.
Twenty years, this is the upper limit, and it is also the last bottom line in Wang Buxing's heart.
Of course, Wang Bu was not hungry and would not tell them that he had made the worst plan for the worst in this time of twenty years.
Under this timeline, Wang Bu's consideration of not being hungry is naturally the worst outcome in all aspects.
For example, in the domestication of war horses, everything is started from scratch.
The sudden southward movement of the Huns, will the Han state make peace as it did in history?
If you don't get along, how should you defend and deploy, and how should you fight?
And so on and so forth.
For Wang Buxing, this is actually a topic of addition and subtraction.
If Lu Jia can get enough war horses from the Yue Clan, then this timeline can be directly reduced by five years.
If Han Shin had won a big battle in the north, this timeline could also be subtracted by five years.
This may seem ridiculous, but it's a real problem.
After a great victory, there will naturally be booty, and if you capture 30,000 horses, you can arm 10,000 cavalry.
This is a profitable development model.
I rely on myself for everything, and although I am at ease, my development is too slow.
The only condition for the people to faithfully support the war is that they can see tangible benefits.
Like the great powers of the late nineteenth century, they invaded colonies everywhere and continued to accumulate their own strength, so that those countries that fought two world wars still have a deep foundation until the twenty-first century.
Their own development is important, but without the stimulation of these foreign objects, how can they develop so fast?
Either that's blind worship, like a certain book.
Wang Bu was not hungry and told himself sensibly that in the early stage of the war, he would take the route of a certain book, and in the later stage, he would gradually change.
The purpose of war is not only to open up territory, but also to bring about the most practical changes for the people.
"Heavy cavalry?" After reading further, Wang Buxing soon saw Han Xin's plan for the formation of heavy cavalry.
Wang Bu was hungry and looked again, and found that it was indeed the heavy cavalry.
"Your Majesty, the number of heavy cavalry does not need to be too much, when the two sides are fighting, the heavy cavalry can use their own advantages to attack the opponent in the rear, tear apart the opponent's defense, and cut their lineup......"
"Jian...... Wang Bu was hungry and waved his hand, and immediately decided to form a heavy cavalry.
The meaning of the existence of the heavy cavalry, of course the king is not hungry.
Although the ability is single, this is a class that no one can ignore.
Because it's really too strong.
When you can't break through the enemy's defenses, let the heavy cavalry go up.
When the two sides fought fiercely and could not quickly establish an advantage, let the heavy cavalry go on.
When you are surrounded and can't break the encirclement, let the heavy cavalry go up.
In the words of later generations, heavy cavalry is now a nuclear weapon, and its deterrent significance is also important.
"Not just to build, but to build!" Wang Bu was not hungry and said in high spirits.
"Your Majesty, this doesn't need much ......" Han Xin couldn't help but shudder, and secretly said What is wrong with this king? Why did you suddenly become so irrational?
If a few bigwigs knew that they were making a fuss about this, would they join together and swallow themselves alive?
Heavy cavalry is not just protruding from a heavy character.
His consumption of resources is also extremely terrifying.
Take the current troops as an example, a spear used by heavy cavalry, he is enough to arm two infantrymen.
Bring his helmet, armor, full body armor, and horse armor.
The iron used in these combined materials is enough to arm a heavy cavalry force.
And it's the kind that has more disadvantages than the current ones.
Even if Han Xin was whimsical, he would only dare to write about 3,000 people.
Although I don't know how many Wang Buxing plans to form, looking at this posture, there should be more than 3,000 people.
Moreover, the follow-up cost of heavy cavalry is not low.
Each person must have at least two main horses, that is, five horses is already the minimum.
The main war horse must eat the best, and the cavalry must also eat the best, otherwise the strength will not reach, and he will be tired before he charges on the battlefield, isn't that funny.
They are not kings and are not hungry, and they can fork their waists before charging......
"Just do your plan, the rest of the things will be solved, since you are on the battlefield, you will give you the best!" Wang Bu was not hungry and said very firmly.
"The king ......" Han Xin was greatly moved.
Even if it was just an empty phrase, it sounded quite exciting to him.
Behold, how much the king thinks of us.
Moreover, Han Xin knew very well that the king was not hungry and never said empty words, but whatever he said, he would definitely fulfill it.
"Lonely look at your plan to be ten thousand people?" Wang was not hungry and lazy to tell Han Xin about those boring things, and continued to talk about business directly.
"Yes, the scale is too large to be conducive to mobilization, and a single 10,000-strong array is very flexible on the battlefield, and it can fight alone or assemble to fight together. Depending on the situation of the battle, the smallest combat unit is 1,000 men, and generally speaking, the minister is more inclined to 5,000 men. Han Xin explained.
The structure of cavalry is different from that of infantry, and the commander of 200 cavalry is considered a general.
But then there are too many generals.
Therefore, Han Xin appropriately raised the threshold, mainly referring to the formation of the infantry.
The commander of 5,000 cavalry is a general, and the infantry is a lieutenant at this level.
The commander of a thousand horsemen is a captain, and the infantry is a thousand.
The commander of 500 horsemen is a thousand, and the infantry is 500 masters.
Further down, there are the hundred horsemen, who are in charge of five hundred masters.
This title Wang is not hungry, how do you look at it and feel awkward.
Cavalry is special, and considering that a large-scale cavalry unit will be formed next, it is understandable that his formation level is one level higher than that of infantry.
But what is five hundred horsemen called a thousand?
So, with a wave of his hand, the king was not hungry, and five hundred horsemen were the captains, one hundred horsemen were the captains, fifty horsemen were still the commanders, and the commanders of the army did not move.
In addition to the same name, the treatment is still one level.
That is to say, if he joins the cavalry unit, even if he is a recruit, his treatment is the same as that of a captain in the infantry.
"Every 5,000 cavalry is equipped with 500 heavy cavalry, and if you get 50,000 people first, go back and talk to the baby, and immediately start selecting soldiers." Wang Bu was hungry and said directly.
Fei Tie material?
This king is not hungry and really doesn't care.
The autumn harvest is over, and everyone is idle.
For a whole year, almost all kinds of minerals were searched in the territory of the Han Kingdom.
A lot of iron ore alone has been found, even if it is more troublesome to mine by hand, but now there are so many people who can use it, and the output is enough to keep up with the supply.
Is it difficult to smelt iron?
It's not difficult at all, Wang Buxing plans to go down and operate it himself.
You say that the country has just been reunified, and it should not make a big move and mobilize the people?
I'm sorry, but you're talking about forced labor, and I'm doing paid labor.
Whoever wants to come and who doesn't want to come, I don't force it, everything is voluntary.
You want to do it or not, I don't force it, or it's all voluntary.
If you feel tired, then lie down and rest, no one cares about you, if you don't work, you won't be paid, except for those who can't work because of illness, and if you haven't delivered for more than three days, I'm sorry, I don't care about eating, you go somewhere else.
Clearly marked prices, more work and more rewards.
You say, that fool would think it's a waste of money?
The people of the world wish that they would not be idle for a day during the agricultural slack period.
"Wang ...... The king...... Isn't 50,000 people too much......" Han Xin suddenly felt that something was not real, and his legs were a little weak in fright.
50,000 people, that's 150,000 horses.
No, out of 50,000 people, there are 5,000 heavy cavalry.
The 45,000 cavalry had three horses each, and the heavy cavalry had five horses each, which was 160,000 horses......
If you add up the war horses of the entire Han Dynasty, you may not be able to make up a fraction.
Do you expect Lu Jia to get 100,000 war horses from the Yue Clan?
Whether you believe it or not, Han Xin doesn't believe it anyway.
"Not much at all!" Wang Buyu said softly, and then explained: "Look at how many war horses there are next, choose the best of the 50,000 people, go out to find a suitable enemy to do it, and capture their war horses, cattle and sheep, these 50,000 people are just the first batch!" ”
Han Xin nodded, and then put his heart down.
It's not that Wang is not hungry and crazy, but that he is crazy.
Think about it, you know that there are not so many war horses with your ass, how can you still do that?
One is also training, one group is also training, the best of the best, go outside to capture, come back to equip and expand the army, continue to capture, continue to expand the army, no, 50,000 people will have war horses in the blink of an eye.
Well, it's a strategic arrangement for sustainable development, and it's fitting and reliable......
Then the two talked about some other details, and for Han Xin, Wang Buxing's expectations were quite high.
And this time, Wang Buxing also directly told Han Xin that he would select and assemble troops as soon as possible, and after the enthronement ceremony, he might have to send troops north.
The cavalry also needs to adapt to training, and before Lu Jia brings back specific news, Wang Buxing can only use these people as infantry first.
But no matter what, the grassland to the north must be saved.
After sending Han Xin away, Wang Buxing quickly disposed of the remaining official documents.
"Let's go and have a look next door!" Wang Bu was hungry and waved his hand directly and took Zhang Buyi and was about to leave.
Zhang Buyi snorted, and said with some reluctance: "Your Majesty, it's almost over, if you have anything, just pass a message and let the next door come over, it's almost every three days, five days and half a day, I don't know and think you're carrying political affairs!" ”
"Love what you want, love what you say!" Wang Buyi glanced at Zhang Buyi speechlessly.
This product is good, but this mode of thinking is too ancient, and it is still now, and some ancient ideas still can't be changed.
Do I want to learn from the one who became a carpenter emperor?
Of course not.
The words have been explained, this is about to be used, they can't live or die, what can I do?
Then you can't do it yourself?
Besides, am I going to play?
Is it for myself?
"When Lone gets this thing out, throw all those who like to chew the root of the tongue in and practice it well, and see if they dare to talk nonsense in the future......"
