In addition, there were fifty spare long swords, ten bows, twenty large horizontal swords, ten shields, and ten armor. Zhang Junjun said with a smile, "These are in the baggage camp, and your numbers are like this, but if you fight a tough battle, a hard battle, of course, you can still apply for more allocation." ”

Lu Wenluo nodded, his face quite solemn.

As a martial artist and a warrior, of course, he hopes to fight as many tough battles as possible. As a military attaché, he also hopes to make more achievements.

For example, when pulling out the city, the first to ascend is the first achievement, and there is nothing else to say.

The first to ascend, ten people to die nine, martial arts excellent, excellent skills of the person has to be lucky, in order to survive in the city, after the city, the military merit is the first.

If it was from the perspective of the Pao Ze brothers, Lu Wenluo certainly didn't want his brothers to experience a war of nine deaths.

This is a contradiction and a dilemma, and it is also the only way for a soldier to turn into an officer.

Zhang Junjian didn't understand these very well, but just said in passing, and then continued, "One hundred whetstones, one hundred knives, one hundred xingtang, one hundred spare water bladders, thousands of grain stones, smoked fish, 1,000 catties of meat, and 3,000 canned food, these are also in the baggage camp, so I won't issue them first, but you have to sign and enter the account." ”

At this time, all the military supplies, including the leggings, have been counted clearly, horses and carriages, and many tools have been directly distributed, or have been used, and more grain, such as Qianshi grain, is actually a refined grain that has been steamed dry, as long as it is slightly heated or boiled with water, it can be eaten, after many processes the rice is steamed, after drying and dehydration, it is not easy to spoil and deteriorate, Qianshi refined grain, more than 100 people eat food every day is set as the staple food of three catties, half a catty in the morning and evening, and two catties at noon, For a man in the prime of his life, this amount is actually on the low side.

During the busy farming period, it is normal for farmers to eat four to five catties of staple food a day.

The ration of the soldiers of the government army is low, because there is a large amount of meat, each meal is early and late, the daily ration is four taels of meat, and there is a small spoonful of oil ration every day, the oil, water and meat are sufficient, and the intake of staple food can naturally be reduced.

"Received in full." Lu Wenluo signed with a smile, of course his handwriting was crooked, and it didn't look like it, but the men in the army can read and write because of the literacy classes run by the army, and many people can't read a few big characters, let alone write.

"I don't know when to start the troops?" Quartermaster Zhang said casually, this is the most common sentence in the army recently, after speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Wenluo to respond, he just clenched his fists and said with a smile, "The first is all delivered, and the bottom has to go to the second, and the third and other are all responsibilities below." ”

"Brother Zhang is going to be busy." Lu Wenluo returned the salute with a fist and watched the quartermaster leave in a hurry.

Behind Lu Wenluo is a capital territory, covering an area of more than ten acres, most of which is fenced stables.

Sixty miscellaneous horses, really as the quartermaster surnamed Zhang said, most of them are young and strong horses around five or six years old, and there are also miscellaneous horses in their teens, which are still in the prime of life, and it will take a few years before they can be regarded as old horses.

The age of the horse is mainly based on the teeth, the wear and tear of the teeth, and then a few details, it is easy to see the age of the horse.

On either side of the stall are vertical tents, made of cowhide or deerskin, most of which are deerskin.

There are more than 110 people in each of them, but there are more than 20 tents, in addition to the tents for living people, all kinds of iron tools, grain, meat, fish, canned food, military weapons, these materials are also placed in the tents.

When camping, the stables are repaired first, at least with a wooden fence to form a space, and the oil cloth is placed on it, which is the simplest stable.

Then pull it out to make a manger and pour concentrate to feed the horse.

More than sixty miscellaneous horses, of different colors, all stood quietly in the stable, they knew the time to eat, and it was not yet time, so they were not in a hurry.

The manger was spread out, and some hay was put in, and the horses had a great deal of time to eat every day, and they ate the hay unhurriedly, as if they were killing time.

War horses are expensive, and the value of miscellaneous horses is only one-tenth of that of war horses, but it is also quite time-consuming and laborious to raise.

Concentrate needs to be fed, and in addition to feeding, several eggs must be fed every day.

Otherwise, if you pull the cart and walk every day, you will not be fed enough and eat badly, and you will start to lose fat after a few days, and after ten days, there will be miscellaneous horses that will begin to die.

Even if you eat well, as long as you use it ruthlessly, the miscellaneous horses will die.

For example, if you fight for more than ten days and travel thousands of miles, you may die a few horses.

If it is a battle of thousands of miles, such as from Fujian Road to Jingshi, walking and fighting all the way, after half a year, half of these sixty miscellaneous horses can survive, which is considered a very good result.

Usually you have to polish the shoe, remove the impurities in the horse's hooves, and wash the horse with water, otherwise the horse is easy to get sick, and these things have to be done with the battalion's miscellaneous servants.

The neighing of horses and the roar of donkeys were heard all around.

There are more than 60 horses each, plus a large number of miscellaneous horses in the baggage engineer battalion, even if the Zhongshan Wangfu of the Eastern Domain has been buying war horses and miscellaneous horses, the number of horses is quite insufficient.

In addition, there are a large number of miscellaneous horses used to cultivate the land, and only some of them can be used, and all of them cannot be brought into the army.

It was not easy to buy cattle, and at the beginning of Zheng's development, he also wanted to buy a large number of cattle, but found that he couldn't buy much even if he had money

。 The number of cattle cultivated in the north far exceeded that in the south, and at that time, the whole of Fujian could not buy thousands of cattle, and it was futile to have money.

The purchase plan of the Eastern Domain, thanks to the smooth sea routes and prosperous trade, from the north, Liangzhejiang, Jinghu and north, from all over the country to buy cattle and miscellaneous horses, plus a large number of war horses purchased from the north, as well as Tianfang breeds and horses, this is the current thriving situation.

Even so, there are more than 60 miscellaneous horses in Yidu, plus the war horses used to report and send orders, there are still a lot of gaps, and they have to be replaced by mules or donkeys.

Lu Wenluo glanced around, feeling quite satisfied.

The use of miscellaneous horses is very great, everyone's belongings, food, weapons, sundries, tents, are placed on the horse-drawn cart, there are some accompanying weapons, such as long guns, arrows, foot bows, there is no war just when marching, the back is too cumbersome, there is sufficient transport capacity, some items are placed on the carriage, some items are placed on the miscellaneous horses and are carried by hand, two horses are placed in a team of weapons, quite suitable.

With these miscellaneous horses, everyone can conserve their physical strength when marching, and they will be in a better state when they go to battle!

In addition, when someone is injured, each capital, sentinel, and team have the medicine they carry with them, and the first step of debridement and hemostasis treatment can be done by themselves without waiting for the arrival of the medical officer.

After the inspection was completed, Lu Wenluo also took a long breath and reached out to press his face.

This kind of thing made him feel tired more than going into battle in armor and killing ten or eight enemies.

"It's finally fucking done." Lu Wenluo also has to be responsible for the distribution of materials, first of all, they have their own quartermasters, who also hold the files, signed and distributed by Lu Wenluo, and the sentry officers below also sign and sign the collars, and after the count is clear, all kinds of military food and equipment will be distributed in place.

"We're all fast." A sentry officer smiled and said, "Lu Dutou, this also depends on your prestige, so the battalion quartermaster takes special care, not only is there enough miscellaneous horses, but also all green and strong mouths, all kinds of utensils, and military rations, all of which are sufficient." ”

Lu Wenluo glared and said, "Nothing else is enough?" ”

"It's not all in place yet."

"The big guys above are doing things quite quickly, and they should be all in a day or two at most."

Lu Wenluo nodded lightly, among Li Yi and other cardinals, the most admired and trusted by the soldiers is, of course, Qin Dongyang, the representative of the military, who is also the current commander of the First Army.

In this round of armament warfare, all standards are based on the highest level of scale, except for horses, mules, and donkeys issued to each capital, as well as all kinds of equipment, and military food reserves are prepared according to the highest level.

The various equipment, medicinal materials, food, and reserves carried by the engineer baggage battalion are also extremely abundant, and the minimum standard is that the army can be self-sufficient for about three months.

If the war drags on, it is quite normal to fight for two or three months, and after a month and a half, the Eastern Domain will continue to provide money and maintain the reserves of military grain and equipment above a certain basic line.

This is also the difference between the Zhongshan Palace, the forbidden army, and the Xiang army.

The barracks were filled with the neighing of mules, horses, and donkeys, as well as the constant movement of personnel, and not far away were the garrisons of the Second and Third Armies, which were generally similar.

The entire Eastern Domain seemed to be moving, making final preparations for the infantry of the three armies before going to the battlefield.

Lu Wenluo clenched his fists, there was a crackling sound on his knuckles, he smiled, and said to the people around him, "If you are idle, your bones will be rusty, hurry up and send troops, so you can fight hard!" ”

Everyone around felt the same way, anyway, they had to go into battle, and waiting like this was even more grinding. And after going into battle, you will have military merits, and you can get a better position after the expansion of the army.

Now it is a sentry officer, it may be the head of the capital in a few months, and now it is the head of the capital, and it may be the commander of the battalion or even the regiment at the end of the year!

Military merit in front, generous treatment in front, everything in front of you, armor and equipment and military food reserves are more generous than the forbidden army, everything in the Eastern Domain is given to the soldiers, in the words of the King of Zhongshan, that is, the people are anointed with blood to raise soldiers, soldiers to fight on the battlefield, protect the land, protect the people as the responsibility, in this case, go into battle earlier, go to fight with the thief, this is not in vain!

"King Zhao is also about to send troops." The quartermaster of the first capital smiled and said, "Maybe the thieves will be settled, and our efforts will be in vain." ”

Lu Wenluo glanced at the scribe and said, "If what you said is true, wait for the table in the Drunken Immortal Building, Lao Tzu please." ”

……

"It's fucking messing up again......"

Li Anyuan scolded, and there was a helpless expression on his face.

A staff member said on the side: "Fortunately, the rebels can't cross the river without boats, otherwise our Qizhou will not be spared." ”

Due to the serious lack of military supplies and insufficient salaries and weapons, the Xiang army had already been driven to camp outside the city of Fuzhou, and even so, it was a frequent chaos, and the people of the surrounding villages were not disturbed by the thieves, but they were harmed by the soldiers of the Xiang army, who were responsible for defending the territory.

Originally, the Xiang army was also a Fujian passerby, and it should not have been a scourge on this road, but the Xiang army was resentful, not only the generals could not suppress it, but they no longer cared about the feelings of the township.

Opposite Qizhou are two towns, more than 20 villages, which have been harassed by the Xiang army before, this time in front of Li Anyuan's eyes, the Xiang army soldiers of the brigade poured in, and the strong men of the village were beaten away.

Then there was a lot of looting.

Everything of value, including bedding, robes, cupboards, grain, jars, and iron utensils, was carried away.

There are a few houses at the entrance of the village that have been set on fire, most of these houses are made of straw and rammed earth and a small amount of masonry, the cost is very low, only about 20 can build a small courtyard with three main houses and two partial houses, the beauty is not light, and it is also very uncomfortable, because it is low, and the roof must be repaired and repaired, otherwise it will leak rain.

The common people did not have much floating wealth in their homes, only daily living utensils, copper coins or gold and silver ornaments, etc., which were almost impossible to see.

This is still near Fuzhou City, the people are quite wealthy, they all have their own courtyards and certain furniture items, and they have changed to some remote places, or poor places like Yungui, except for a thatched house with a roof, and a bed for sleepers, there is almost nothing else.

The Xiang army set fire to the house, because there were strong men in the sign who rose up to resist, provoking their ferocity.

More than a dozen corpses fell horizontally near the entrance of the village, and some murderers with blood stained bodies lifted up and threw their bodies into the fire one by one, which was considered to be a ruin of the corpses.

These things happened in front of the eyes of the officials and gentry and the people, before that, Li Anyuan and other officials and local gentry had reported to Fuzhou, and Yang Shiwei of the Dafu ordered to suppress it, but even the city guards were requisitioned by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, including Zheng Liqi's capture and robbery camp, and the pacification envoy was also the transfer of military power, and now Fuzhou City is the final word of King Zhao, King Zhao in order to appease the army, intentionally indulged, the life and death of the people outside the city, but never took it to heart.

"The army is short of food and salary." Another aide said to Li Anyuan, "Today's move is also a last resort." When the rogue is exterminated, the chaos will stop. ”

"Hmph." Li Anyuan snorted coldly and said, "From the second thief in Luzon to the rogue, the peace you want is getting farther and farther away, and there is chaos one after another. Believe it or not, if you really suppress the flattening gangsters, there will be chaos immediately! ”

Everyone was silent, and Li Anyuan's words also hit everyone's worries.

"Money and food are the first priority, the second is sufficient armament, and the third is to encourage morale, pacify the localities, motivate the army and the people, and unite against the enemy. Fourth, find out the enemy's situation, based on the number of enemies, the place where they are stationed, and the geographical environment, and then lead the troops to attack and fight. Li Anyuan pointed to the place where the fireworks were vacated, and said in a deep voice, "I think King Zhao is not far from defeat...... No, it's King Zhao who has been defeated! ”

……

"On the same day, the Xiang army will go first." In the council hall of the palace, a large number of generals of the Xiang army gathered together, and the king of Zhao ordered the date of the march, the route, and the time of the meeting.

There were about 30 corps and more than 70,000 people in the Xiang army, which were mobilized from all parts of the Fujian Road, and now all of them are stationed outside the city of Fuzhou.

From Fuzhou to Nan'an more than 20 miles, to the valley outside more than 40 miles, to Jianyang County more than 60 miles, to the county near the county is about 100 miles, and then to Jian'an is more than 300 miles.

Liu Jie, He Deqing and others were all ordered, and everyone looked as usual, and they all obeyed the order and did not mention it.

"The forbidden army will set off tomorrow afternoon and arrive at the camp in the Nan'an area." King Zhao said to Liu Guangsi, He Zhiyuan, Lin Zhien and other generals of the forbidden army, "The forbidden army walks along the avenue, and the supplies are transported by boat, and hundreds of large and small ships have been requisitioned by Yang Dafu and traced up the river. ”

Liu Guangsi stroked the beard on his chin and said, "I've been preparing for a long time, and I'm ready to go into battle." However, His Royal Highness, the ship can only reach the water mouth, to the valley mouth, Jianyang, Jian'an, more than 200 miles can not be transported by water, Shang begged to make it clear. ”

"Raffle." King Zhao was a little upset and said, "When the time comes, the people of the towns along the way can be requisitioned, cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys can be requisitioned, so that the people can be masters, offset forced labor, and send food and military supplies to the front of the battle." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

The generals of the forbidden army agreed together, and Liu Guangsi said, "This is going to beat his mother, in the past two years, the limelight and credit have been taken by the king of Zhongshan!" ”

Liu Guangsi became excited, the muscles on his face trembled, and the two scars were like two poisonous insects, beating with the shaking of the muscles.

"This prince will lead the elite cavalry, and when the time comes, the elite cavalry will be ordered to step on the Liukou company camp." King Zhao looked at Xu Ziwei beside him, and said with great ambition, "When the time comes, look at the guards of my palace, and the horses will step on the camp." ”

"If the rogues shrink into the county seat, they can still survive for a while." Xu Ziwei also said, "He built a company camp outside Jianyang County, leaning on the mountain stream with his back, and he was dead in the art of war, and he was simply asking for his own death." ”

"The bandit camp is a rumor from the Taniguchi area." After all, Liu Guangsi is a veteran of the battlefield and has also experienced several actual battles, and at the moment he hugged his fist and said, "The eldest prince still doesn't have to be too optimistic, be more careful." ”

All the generals present knew that the palace guards had expanded to about 1,000 people, all of whom were Zhao Wangming's guards and secretly raised dead soldiers, and by this war, King Zhao would supplement his guards with a large amount of money, food and ordnance, especially more than 300 war horses, and the palace also had hundreds of cavalry.

However, the generals also knew that it was quite dangerous to forcibly attack the camp with cavalry, and no matter how weak the enemy's camp was, even if it was a fence wall, as long as some shallow ditches were dug in front of the fence wall in advance, and the horses and antlers were put on it, and the infantry soldiers were deployed with long guns and spears behind the fence wall, and the archers covered the fire on both wings.

Cavalry is the ability to break through the infantry formation on the plain, and it is quite refreshing to kill the infantry without an array after breaking the formation, which is also the reason why cavalry is the strongest army.

Now the enemy situation is still unknown, but King Zhao's father and son are already dreaming of stepping on the company camp, and all the generals present know it, but it is a good thing that no one has come to stop Xu Ziwei.
