Chapter 324: Adequate Preparation

There will be no change in the strategic policy that has been determined, so when the Spring Festival and the Shangyuan Festival have passed, the army has finally begun to assemble, and the various materials that have been chasing and catching up are also prepared on the eve of the assembly of the army, and the appearance of the heavy armored cavalry is finally presented in front of all the generals.

When everyone, including Li Er, saw the heavily armored cavalry standing in front of them, everyone's hearts were filled with a shocking effect, and the dark blue fish scale armor glowed with a cold light, making everyone full of absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness that this army could burst out.

The heavily armored cavalry definitely had the power of the tanks of later generations on the battlefield dominated by cold weapons, and unless it was lucky or with huge siege equipment, it was impossible to inflict any damage on this army.

Every heavily armored cavalry is a carefully selected five or three thick masters, although the armor on their bodies makes them feel a slight burden, but it is far from being unbearable, because they can wear this new armor, everyone's face hidden behind the armor is full of excited expressions, even the war horses under their seats will let out an excited neighing from time to time.

Originally, it was a bit painful for Changsun Wuji to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to build this cavalry, but now that he saw the cold and domineering side of this army, he suddenly felt that the money was worth it, if it weren't for the limitation of personnel, he even hoped to equip more soldiers.

Li Jing, as the training general of this army, should show the combat ability of the new army when Li Er inspected the armament, and after obtaining Li Er's consent, he directly asked a standard-bearer standing next to him to start waving the command flag.

With the dance of the flag in the flag bearer's hand, soon the neat phalanx that was originally standing began to move slowly, and at the same time, a loud rumbling sound also resounded from the school field at this time, once again giving everyone present a more profound shock.

Under the command of the standard-bearer, the heavily armored cavalry began to make various appearances, sometimes merging in one place, sometimes sprinting in divisions, and the neat and uniform posture showed Li Jing's ability to train soldiers to the fullest.

Although Jia Yi clearly knew that Li Jing was the military god of the Tang Dynasty, when he witnessed Li Jing forming such a completely unfamiliar army into such a posture in just a few months, he was immediately full of admiration for Li Jing's methods.

"Okay, well, with this cavalry, why worry that my Datang can't break the local army." Li Eryi said three good words in a row, and a happy smile bloomed on his face, it seemed that he was very satisfied with such a cavalry.

Soon the army began to integrate, after Jia Yi arranged the family, put on his fish scale armor under the service of his three daughters-in-law, and after completing the application for farewell, he slowly walked towards the army station with a large amount of supplies.

Although Jia Yi's title has been improved a lot, but his official position has not been promoted, he is still a ranger general, and he is still in charge of the Tanma Battalion, Jia Yi has no objection to this arrangement, on the one hand, he is already very familiar with the Tanma Battalion, on the other hand, he still does not want the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to have too many casualties on the battlefield, he is sure that under his leadership, the casualties of the Tanma Battalion can definitely be reduced to a very low level.

The army slowly pulled out, and the army of tens of thousands of people began to move slowly towards the battlefield under the leadership of Li Jing, this time it was not only the soldiers in Guanzhong who participated in the war, but also the soldiers from the original Eastern Turks, and now the soldiers of Xue Yantuo, who is also known as this ally, there will be 100,000 after the combined army.

When attacking the Eastern Turks, the largest steppe ethnic group in the north of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty sent only 100,000 troops, but now facing Tuyuhun, which is not much smaller than it was at the beginning, 100,000 is really looking up to them.

The road of the march is the most boring and boring, although Jia Yi is basically used to riding a horse, but when he undergoes the test of a long journey again, he is still bumped by the war horse and his body is like a scattered shelf, as the secretary of the army, Xu Jingzong has been treated very well, at least he was assigned a carriage, whenever he saw Xu Jingzong open the side curtain of the carriage and smile at him, he wanted to pull Xu Jingzong out of the carriage.

With the experience of going out to fight last time, Jia Yi, who is no longer a stranger to the grassland, is definitely prepared with sufficient materials and thoughts this time, and when the army stopped resting, the idle friends gathered around Jia Yi for the first time, because each of them knew very well that Jia Yi would never treat his own person badly, regardless of whether it was the food on weekdays or the materials used were all the best in the army.

Since this is completely something that Jia Yi paid for himself, even if the soldiers in the army saw it, they would not have any jealousy, after all, if they paid for these things themselves, no one in the army would say anything irresponsible to them.

All the friends gathered in Jia Yi's tent, looking at the small pot in the middle of the tent, everyone's faces were full of longing expressions.

After Jia Yi saw their appearance, he began to express great worry about his dinner today, so many people took a bite at a time, he basically had nothing to eat, but this group of people was hob meat, no matter how they rushed away, in the end, Jia Yi could only let it go.

"Jia Yi, what's dinner today?" Cheng Chumo stared at the small pot for a long time, but he didn't even know what was in the pot, but he felt that it smelled very fragrant.

"Chicken stewed mushrooms, I asked the spies to pick them for me when I was marching today, there are not many mushrooms, so you should be merciful when you eat them for a while." Jia Yi deeply knew that this was also in vain, but he still hoped that this could still play a role, in order to feed this group of rice buckets, he prepared a large pot of rice, just hoping that they could eat more and eat less vegetables.

"I haven't eaten it, I'll have to taste it in a while." This dish of chicken stewed mushrooms is definitely not the first time to eat and drink, but the food in this army is really difficult for these gentlemen who are used to eating delicacies and seas in Chang'an City all day long, otherwise they can't always come to Jia Yi's camp to eat.

"Eat, eat, I hope there's a poisonous mushroom in it that poisons you all."

Jia Yi rolled his eyes and served a big bowl of steamed rice to everyone, and then announced that the chicken stewed mushrooms in the small pot were ready to eat.

After finishing speaking, Jia Yi took out a spoon for the first time, scooped out a few spoonfuls of muscle and soup from the small pot, and then casually threw the spoon in his hand to Qin Huaiyu, who was doing it on the side, and then the scramble appeared in his tent.

After eating, everyone started the process of eating again, and a group of people wandered around the world in the barracks, and unconsciously came to several truckloads of supplies prepared by Jia Yi.

Everyone had a strong curiosity about the truckloads of supplies brought by Jia Yi, in the past, Jia Yi just said that it would be useful on the battlefield in the future, but now that he is idle, there should be no problem with a casual look.

Li Hui was cheap, walked to the side of Jia Yi's carriage and reached out to lift the tarpaulin on the carriage, revealing the materials inside, but when they saw what Jia Yi had prepared, everyone's faces had puzzled expressions, a good copper basin, how could the bottom be smashed in, from the front, there was also a small tip inside, this thing was too novel, so that except for Jia Yi, no one standing here could know it.

"Jia Yi, what is this?"

"When there is a shortage of water, this is the best water vessel, as for the principle, even if I tell you, I believe you will not understand, but I hope you can be careful, this thing is broken by one less, and when there is a shortage of water, you will regret it too late."

Jia Yi made this thing basically does not have much effect in ordinary times, but if it is placed in the desert or the grassland without a water source, it will definitely become a necessary thing to get water, and when Jia Yi saw this thing, he thought that instead of waiting until he went to the battlefield to teach the soldiers how to use this thing, it is better to teach them to use it now, and it will also save people from panicking because of the lack of water.

Although everyone despises Jia Yi's pretenses, everyone also knows that Jia Yi's mind is always filled with all kinds of weird and strange methods, and sometimes even if Jia Yi tells them clearly, it is impossible for them to understand it, this is a problem of knowledge, and there is no way to solve it.

There were many other things on the carriage, a large cart of mosquito repellent water was fully prepared, and the scarves used by women were also full of carts, and as for other strange things, because everyone really couldn't understand them, they lost interest in continuing to investigate.

When the sky was bright, the army was on the road again, the long way, so that the army traveled on the road for two months before coming to Shuofang City, when Jia Yi built a trading market here, after so many years of development, the prosperity here is even better than a city, since the last time Xue Yantuo sent people to harass here and was directly beaten back by Jia Yi, Xue Yantuo listed this place as a forbidden place, and since then no one from Xue Yantuo has set foot here.

As the current leader of the Turks, Ashnasmo's favorite thing to do when he has nothing to do is to wander around this thriving market......
