Chapter 151 Everything is Difficult at the Beginning
The last time Feiqian went from Luoyang to Xiangyang, there were few people, and there were few cars and horses, so there was not much feeling of marching, but this time it was different, nearly a thousand people were mighty and winding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It looks like there are a lot of people.
Fei Qian calculated, this is only a thousand people on this scale, if Cao Cao claimed to have 800,000 troops to the south to herd horses during the Battle of Chibi, the momentum must be incomparable, no wonder it scared a large group of people in Jiangdong at that time - of course, this number was also Cao A's concealment - but it also shows that the number of people, thousands, is really boundless......
Besides, as far as ordinary people in ancient times were not very good at mathematics, it was very good for scouts to be able to count how many banners there were, where would there be a way to count in detail how many troops Cao Cao really had at that time.
Therefore, when there are tens of thousands of soldiers participating in the war, if they exaggerate the propaganda against the enemy, it is basically not easy to detect.
In general, the speed of the march did not depend on which part of the team was the fastest, but by the slowest one.
And the slowest in a troop is none other than those baggage. So Fei Qian knows why sometimes in ancient wars, sometimes the commanders of both sides know that there are some key points, and the victory of the battle can be decided in a few days in the morning, but unfortunately it is so bad in the end, the reason is because the speed of the army's march does not depend on people, but often depends on cattle and horses.
It is not impossible to reduce the burden of light troops and move quickly, but this means abandoning logistics teams, heavy troops, and all people and things that cannot move quickly, which means that there is no backup, even with light cavalry.
Even if it is the Mongolian army known for its mobility in later generations, a person can rotate several horses, but the kind of spare horse can not travel long distances, otherwise it will not be able to rest, the same will lead to a decline in horsepower, and there is often only one chance when the battle is coming, although the victory can wait for the follow-up troops to keep up slowly, but if it fails, it is often a fiasco, so generally speaking, the commander of the unified army is not forced to do so, and will not easily abandon his baggage and light cavalry to advance.
Fei Qian used to believe in a thousand-mile horse, a hundred-mile march or something, but now it is really a look, it's all nonsense, you let the red rabbit run for a day is enough, and then you have to go all out for twenty-four hours, you can not call it the red rabbit, call it a cooked rabbit, and the blood that can't effectively dissipate heat can burst the horse's heart......
Why can the battle be recorded, because it is too rare, except for those few successful cases, in history, the vast majority of the troops who tried to abandon their baggage to fight the war were completely wiped out in the end.
Therefore, generally speaking, the baggage is arranged in the position of a little behind the Chinese army, and it is also in the protective circle of the whole army, if it is not for the road is really narrow and difficult to pass, in most cases, some light cavalry units will be arranged on both flanks of the army to carry out cruising maneuvers.
Striking at heavy troops and wreaking havoc on the enemy's food and grass is often a turning point in a war.
The military system of the Han Dynasty was five people and one army, two soldiers were for the team, and five for the team, so Huang Cheng of the Huang family just delegated the chief and team rate, and the extra two or three were taken by Huang Zhong as a herald to lead the Chinese army.
Playing as a striker? Liu Pan has been arranged to do it.
Fei Qian guessed that the reason why Liu Biao sent Liu Pan was because there were some elements of surveillance? Since this is the case, then simply ask Liu Pan to lead two hundred soldiers to the front to open the way, anyway, since it can't be avoided, it is better to ask Liu Pan to play a role.
Fei Qian turned his face and saw that Huang Zhong happened to ride a horse in front of his carriage, so he hurriedly stopped Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng......"
Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng controlled the speed of the horse, and Yu Feiqian's horse was parallel and said, "Fei Bei, what's the matter?" ”
“…… I remember that ten miles further there seemed to be a post station, and seeing that it was getting late, how about camping there at night? ”
Huang Zhong looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll arrange it!" Then he turned his horse and went to give the order.
Fei Qian looked at Huang Zhong's back and sighed softly with some regret.
After saying it several times, Huang Zhong still didn't want to call him "Ziyuan", but kept calling him "Fei Beijia", which is somewhat intriguing......
It's a less than ideal term.
Although it is not wrong to call it like this, in the Han Dynasty, they were also used to calling official positions, and they didn't care whether they were current or not, like Liu Bei has always been called Liu Pingyuan, and it is not said that Liu Bei can't be called if he doesn't hold an official position in Pingyuan, but Huang Zhong's title makes Fei Qian feel that there is still some alienated meaning in it.
After all, how can "Ziyuan" be closer to "Fei Beijia"?
Fei Qian secretly rejoiced when he saw that Huang Zhong was willing to go with him, thinking that his charm had finally played a role, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong's "Fei Bei Driving" to make Fei Qian fall from the clouds to the ground.
The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
If he hadn't found a hope for Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng to treat his son, it is estimated that Huang Zhong would really not be willing to accompany him on such a trip.
But how do you say that a good start is half the battle?
However, there seems to be a saying that the one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety......
Forget it, anyway, let's do it for now.
Starting from Xiangyang, it is not far to the north is Nanyang.
Fei Qian pondered, the first stop was naturally to go to Nanyang to find Yuan Shu first, and then go to Sour Jujube to find Yuan Shao......
Cao Cao should also be on the sour jujube side, but I don't know if Liu Bei's trio is here, as for the others, Fei Qian said that it seems to be negligible.
After all, the next time was like a big wave sweeping the sand, those that seem to be good now, but in fact the gold content is insufficient, and in the end they are all eliminated one by one, and only those who are full of weight are finally retained.
Just like Cao Liusun.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guanzhang is described as a representative of loyalty that has been rumored for thousands of years.
Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, that is the unparalleled god of martial arts and wealth that everyone in later generations admires, known as the righteous and unparalleled god of wealth who walks thousands of miles and rides alone......
Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, that's a macho man who got on the horse and took the spear to take the general's head, got off the horse and got off the horse to draw a little Lori......
Fei Qian was a little excited when he thought about it, but before that, he had to do one thing first......
