Chapter 34: Enlightenment

The generals did not talk to Xiong Jing for a long time, and the main thing they talked about was how the Qin army would react to the pursuit of the coalition forces. Cavalry raids are certain, and I don't know what tricks there are besides cavalry raids.

The west of Linzi is all plains, and only the remaining veins on the west side of Mount Tai near Jishui form a fortress that can be fortified, that is, this section between Pingyin and Huyi. But now that Jishui is frozen, chariots and horses can travel on the Jishui ice, and the army can advance on Jishui. As a last resort, Wang Jian would not send a partial division to intercept it, because the intercepted Qin army would soon be broken by the coalition forces.

Two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers began to dismantle the shogunate's tent; After another quarter of an hour, the soldiers waited quietly in marching columns to the beat of drums, and the advance guard began to advance; The last two quarters of an hour passed, and the army marched forward under the command of the officer.

Although it is said that the coalition army marched in an all-horizontal line, the actual march of each army was divided into the front, the middle, and the rear, as well as the baggage convoy and the baggage convoy. In both ancient and modern times, armies are weakest when they are not on the march, especially because of the restrictions of roads, which have to be separated from each other, resulting in a long march path that can easily be broken by the enemy.

The snow and ice increased the width of the road, which allowed for more marching columns, and the 400,000-strong army was divided into about 1,200 marching columns, each of which was a pawn, and the Qi army was a company of 200 men. This greatly shortened the long march path, but the marching sequence is still important, and how the marching column can become a combat horizontal formation in the shortest possible time after encountering the enemy depends entirely on the preparation of the marching sequence.

The front of the Chu army is the leading troops, which is a pawn, and in front of them is the cavalry. Five hundred paces behind the leading troops was the forward army, which consisted of two other pawns of the same brigade. Eight hundred paces behind the front army were artillery and the sappers who followed the artillery at all times, and 1,000 paces away was the Chinese army composed of the other three brigades of the same division. Five hundred steps behind the Chinese army is a rear army and a guard army, five miles behind the rear army is the baggage convoy, and ten miles behind the baggage convoy is the baggage convoy.

The baggage convoys could not be divided into 1,200 marching columns, like foot soldiers, but could only follow the original road as far as possible, so there were only a dozen or so marching columns, and some of them were broken roads—which were broken as they walked. If you can find a new way, you can also try to cross the unevenness and connect to the new road; If there is no new road, you will have to merge into other roads, but you will have to wait for a long time. All of this requires the presence of officers.

The baggage wagon also had a marching sequence, which was based on the condition of the wagon itself and the importance of the materials it carried. In the case of the Chu army, the carriage carriage was painted in different colors, and a flag identifying the identity was inserted on the top. Red is the most important, followed by yellow, green again, and white again.

The long march path of the infantry is only 2,000 steps, that is, 2,700 meters, and the long march path of the baggage horse convoy is more than 40 miles because the marching column is too small, and the ox cart of the Qi army has been dragged to Linzi City, which is 80 miles away. Fortunately, the carriage of the Chu army transporting rations was at the front of the baggage team, and the coachman and the pawn had not slept all night last night and drove the carriage to the front of the camp tent, and placed it at intervals in order of marching.

If you look down from the air, it must look like a newborn baby dragging a long umbilical cord crawling forward in the snow. Linzi is its mother, and if the umbilical cord is cut and all the nutrients it carries are exhausted, then the baby will freeze to death and starve to death in the snowstorm.

Of course, no one could fly in the air and look down on the entire marching army, and the soldiers saw the backs of their comrades and the heavy darkness before dawn, and heard the 'click' of military boots on the ice and snow under the neat steps, and the sound overshadowed the howling north wind, which made people can't help but blend into this eternal rhythm.

When the day was about to dawn, Xiong Jing took Mi Xuan to inspect the whole army on horseback, and the two no longer rode a horse, Mi Xuan rode a horse. Xiong Jing tugged at the horse's reins in case she couldn't handle it. Zhuang Quji's guards cavalry closely guarded the two of them, for fear that the Qin cavalry would take advantage of the darkness to raid, and after the sky slowly brightened, they only spread a little distance, but they were still very close.

In a very different year, even the Qi people who live here feel cold. Mi Xuan deliberately wore a white fox fur, a leather foot coat, a leather hand coat, and a hooded cotton coat in the Chu Army style, which could cover the entire head, and Xiong Jing smeared a layer of grease on her face and lips, but she still felt cold when she was blown by the north wind while riding on a horse. It was only when the man let her take a small sip of Chu Li that she felt better.

Xiong Jing took her on a tour to familiarize her with the army, especially the most important part of the military: the march.

Gentlemen do not need and should not be profound, the knowledge of the nobles is the business of craftsmen, craftsmen, and doctors, and the nobles want to be broad. And broadness is not for knowledge, knowledge is to use books as a stepping stone for scholars to get ahead, and breadth is to cultivate temperament.

For scholars, learning is the endless practice of memorizing and memorizing chants, and it is a simple mental burning; But for the aristocracy, learning was only a pastime and pleasure, not seeking to learn anything from it, but only to cultivate the understanding of the soul.

To realize is to be immersive, and only nobles have the resources and qualifications to understand. For example, now, with Mi Xuan in front of the 400,000 army for realization, only Xiong Jing can do it. The scholars of the poor family could only imagine from the thin two-dimensional imagination in the words of the book, and then choose the main points to memorize. The effects of the two are completely different, and the shock caused by the footsteps of the 400,000 troops alone is unimaginable, because this is a four-dimensional perception.

"This is the pawn of the avant-garde," Xiong Jing said, pointing to the avant-garde troops at the front, because there were 400,000 pairs of feet stadding, and his voice was so loud that he almost shouted. "Our army is riding more than ten miles or dozens of miles before the avant-garde, and the enemy may take advantage of the gap when the scouts have passed and the army has not yet arrived, so the march must have the avant-garde pawns. The guards of the front guard are surrounded by a large rope to ensure that there is no enemy ahead. If there is a ......"

Unable to breathe when he spoke to the north wind, Xiong Jing had to take a breath, "If there is an ambush, the avant-garde pawns will retreat quickly, and the front army will also retreat after receiving it." If you are accidentally surrounded, you will stand by for help. Artillery ......" he pointed to the artillery soldiers a few hundred paces away, "When the front army encounters the enemy, the artillery soldiers must be quickly released and deployed, and the middle army after the artillery soldiers must also be quickly arrayed. The marching column is quickly replaced by the horizontal column of the troops, which can be ......"

Xiong Jing raised his whip as a gesture, "It can move its head and tail without moving, and move diagonally to the left and right to form a horizontal formation; You can also ......"

The horsewhip is one, and the marching column is like a brick pillar made of bricks, and it really can't explain the steps of the second column to a horizontal team, Xiong Jing simply no longer explained, and he said to the left and right: "Quickly move the avant-garde, and drill when encountering the enemy." ”
