At dusk, in the wilderness west of Wuchang, Ezhou, countless camp tents rise and fall, stretching into pieces, and torches and bonfires are lit in the camp, just like the stars in the sky are reflected on the vast earth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Huangzhou Governor's Office dispatched state soldiers and government soldiers from various states, totaling nearly 10,000 people, to carry out the "autumn exercises" here.

The army of this era had drills similar to military exercises, but there was no term "autumn drill", which was invented by Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou.

Just after the autumn harvest, the imperial court was about to use troops, he ordered the soldiers and horses to be reorganized, to check the drills and preparations of various armies, and to "warm up" by the way, one of the methods was the autumn exercises.

A part of the troops of each state were dispatched, marched to Xiyang, Huangzhou, boarded a ship to cross south to Wuchang, Ezhou, and conducted various drills at the boundary of Wuchang, and conducted assessments at the same time.

Although the entire army was not mobilized in this autumn exercise, a lot of grain and grass were consumed by nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.

There is no war, but it is such a waste of money and food.

In ancient times, there were Zhou Youwang Fenghuo opera princes, and now there are Yuwen Wenqiu opera armies.

"There is no war, but so hard work, it's a waste of money and food! Is that what everyone thinks? ”

Yu Wenwen, who was dressed in armor, asked loudly, no one in the Chinese army tent dared to respond, although many people had slander, but no fool dared to say it to his face.

With a snap, Yuwenwen slapped on the case: "Look, look, the military reports received by these Japanese officials, the situation of the size of the military brigades from all walks of life continues, is this still the strong army three years ago?" Well? ”

"Bloody battle, everyone's courage is broken!"

"Are all the warriors who attacked Xiakou dead?"

"The bridging speed is too slow!"

"When a thousand men and horses cross the river, they build a small bridge, and after walking for nearly half an hour, won't they use their brains to build another bridge? Crossing the river so slowly, what to do with the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry? ”

Yu Wenwen began to speak, his hair seemed to become a parted head, and a mustache appeared in the middle of the person.

"This official is coming to Wuchang..."

Outside the big tent, the voice of Yu Wenwen in the tent could be faintly heard, and Shi Wansui, who was patrolling the camp, shook his head helplessly, gave up the idea of entering the tent, and led his subordinates to continue patrolling the camp.

The war is imminent, it is necessary to rectify the soldiers and horses, but this autumn exercise is a little inexplicable, even if it is just the mobilization of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is enough to toss it, not to mention anything else, the grain and grass consumed for no reason, Shi Wansui felt distressed when he saw it.

Now that there is no war, is it necessary?

After all, the farmland is still less than that in the Jingxiang area, and although the new water conservancy has been built in the past two years to reclaim wasteland, grain production will not be able to increase significantly after several years.

In this case, engaging in autumn exercises consumes grain and grass in vain, which is really...

At the beginning, Shi Wansui felt that it was really a waste, but now it seems that it is really worth it, the series of problems that broke out after the start of the autumn exercise does not seem to be big, but once it accumulates, if you meet an enemy general who can use soldiers, something will happen sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Shi Wansui looked around, torches and bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, which must have been extremely dazzling in the dark field.

It is said that after camping, the lights should be strictly controlled at night to avoid camp roars, but this time the autumn exercise army camped, Yuwenwen relaxed the ban and allowed more torches and bonfires to be lit.

Doesn't Yuwen know the danger of Ying Xiao?

Shi Wansui didn't think so, and the other party's statement also made him very helpless: this is also a "subject" to be checked.

It's not impossible to relax the curfew, or it's a pain to the soldiers patrolling the camp, but Shi Wansui agrees with Yu Wenwen's next arrangement.

The night camp is lit up into a piece, and it looks very ostentatious from a distance, it is simply to illuminate the direction of the enemy army who attacked and stole the camp at night, after the generals questioned it, Yuwenwen was not annoyed, and arranged to arrange the outer secret sentinels, so that the generals could lead the troops to "sneak attack".

What is a Dark Whistle? A small number of elite soldiers lurking on the periphery, and many dogs outside.

A dog barks, a hundred dogs bark, distributed in the latent posts several miles away, the total number of people is quite a lot, and the dogs are even more, and when they bark, it is "boiling and Yingtian", and the camp can't hear it if you want to.

The soldier who was responsible for playing the role of the enemy stealing the camp at night was pounced on by those dogs, and the dogs were caged and muzzled, and the people had to wear armor, and they were not bitten into a blur of flesh and blood.

Thinking that it would be his turn to lead the troops to "sneak attack" next, Shi Wansui couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

What to do with those dogs?

。。。。。。

Late at night, Sima Yangji, the chief manager with a blue nose and swollen face, came to the Chinese military tent, and Yuwenwen, who had just returned from patrolling, was unloading his armor.

As a result, a lot of problems were detected, although it looked so-so, but Yuwenwen didn't want to put his life in the hands of the enemy generals.

Even if both sides are rookies, the rookies peck each other to see who makes fewer mistakes, and the problems exposed this time are "miserable" once the flaws are caught by the enemy generals who are good at using troops in actual combat.

"Which group of unlucky people came to steal the camp tonight?"

"Ah, according to the plan, it is Zhou Sima of the Hengzhou Army."

"Did Sima Zhou ask you for advice?"

"Hey, the black light is blind and barks from afar, there are dogs everywhere, what else can you do but run."

Yang Ji smiled bitterly, the night before he led the troops to "sneak attack" the camp, and was embarrassed by the vicious dogs.

Using a dog to guard the barracks is a bit unbelievable, and Yang Ji has some questions that he can't think clearly, so he wants to consult an "expert", and he asks why he doesn't put the dog in the barracks, but he has to pull it to the outer village to raise.

"As for the dog, the nose is sensitive, and it barks whenever the wind blows, but there are tens of thousands of people in the barracks, and the smell is mixed, where can it adapt to it? If you scream all night, you won't let people sleep? ”

Yang Ji suddenly realized, seeing that Yu Wenwen was a little tired, he hurriedly made a long story short: "Chief, can the autumn exercise be extended for a few days?" ”

"Ouch, who said that the autumn exercise was a waste of grain and grass, think about it, who is coming?"

Yang Ji coughed dryly, and cheekily said that the soldiers had entered the state, and the autumn exercise had exposed some problems, and now the generals had taken measures to see how effective the remedies were.

"There is also some truth in what you said at the time, the grain and grass stored in the states are said to be a lot less, not too much, the autumn exercise has an effect, the official gritted his teeth, and extended it for another five days."

"Really?"

"Seriously, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, the autumn drill can still change the problem if it is exposed, if there is a problem in the duel between the two armies, you and I can only learn from Song Taizong, and ride a donkey and run away."

"Boss, is there enough food and grass?"

"Make do with it, practice hard."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenwen showed a distressed look on his face, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in autumn, and the consumption of people doesn't matter, after all, if you don't practice, you have to eat and drink every day, but the consumption of horses really makes people's hearts bleed.

A war horse runs, and the daily consumption is more than five servings, plus the horses pulling carts to transport grain and grass, the stock of grain and grass is really swishing down when the army moves.

The garrisons of various states assembled in Xiyang City, crossed the river and built their own bridges, and then crossed the river to the south, and then practiced various projects, completely according to the mode of actual combat marching and combat.

It is also a very important project to march and fight, open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water, which involves not only the speed of attack, but also the speed of retreat (escape).

The mobilization of men and horses, the transportation of grain and grass, crossing the river by boat, and setting up camp rely on the degree of organization, and now it seems that the army of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion is so-so, and it is okay to deal with the Chen army, but I am afraid of facing the elite Sui army.

There is no shortage of cattle in the Sui army, and there are quite a few of them.

The imperial court has already made a plan to start a war with the Sui State, and the Huangzhou Army, as the firefighting team of the Shannan Zhou Army, has the Sui Army as the second combat target.

Even in the Southern Dynasty Chen State, there are famous generals such as Xiao Maha , in case one day the face is black and is raided by this kind of general leading elite dead soldiers, it is really fatal.

His family background is thin and he can't withstand the toss, so he should be cautious, and the autumn exercises are only carried out within a short range, so as not to squander the grain and grass that was easily saved by the long march.

Yang Ji retired, Yu Wenwen, who was sweaty, wiped his back with a wet towel and slept with his clothes, the conditions for marching and fighting were poor, and his personal hygiene was barely enough, he was not so extravagant When he was marching, he carried a high-end tent, which had everything in it.

There are only soldiers in the barracks tent, soldiers who can win battles, and this is the most important thing! (To be continued.) )
