Section 559 Reprieve
Bai Hui's marching dry food.
This thing is amazing, Bai Qi has decided to try it himself, eat this tomorrow without eating, and see if this piece can be topped with rice.
Bai Qi had some new ideas about fighting against Zhao Guo.
Qin can fight with Zhao for equipment, logistics, and national strength. According to Bai Hui's approach, Qin Guo can exert two points of strength with one force. And Zhao Guo made two efforts, and he may not be able to exert one strength.
Qin was currently the only country with a treasury to distribute all its equipment.
Only the most elite part of the Zhao army was made by the treasury, and most of the soldiers who were soldiers in wartime and farmers in their spare time, and their weapons were equipped by themselves.
These third-rate soldiers can't talk about the efficiency of their equipment, and what is the use of it.
In the great war between the nations, the peasants who were recruited as soldiers, and even if the country was rich with a helmet, most of them were a broken sword or a halberd, and the rod needed to be found by themselves.
In the battle of Hexi in which the Qin army defeated Wei Wushu back then, it can be said that the Qin State found everything that could be used as a weapon, and fought with blood.
Such a battlefield is not willing to be seen by Bai Qi.
Comparatively speaking, Bai Qi prefers to choose Bai Hui's preferred combat method called crushing.
To fight a weak battle of the enemy army with superior forces and superior ordnance, and to run away after the battle, it is a last resort, and it is absolutely not a hard battle. If you really need to fight a tough battle, Bai Hui in Bai Qi's eyes belongs to the unscrupulous kind of person, using everything that can be used to increase his advantage.
After reading the dry food prepared by Bai Hui, Bai Qi asked again: "What else is there?" ”
Bai Hui replied: "There are still some more, but they are all being tested, whether it is to equip our Qin army still needs more data." ”
"What is it?"
"For example, military uniforms, backpacks."
"What's so special about these, just have clothes to wear." Bai Qi was a little unimpressed by this. Bai Hui said: "Brother you underestimate this matter, let's use sorghum as an example, if you find a random bag to put it on, then how many catties can a person carry?" ”
Bai Qi replied: "Qin Jun can carry a hundred catties on his back. ”
Bai Hui asked again: "Then, if I can let the soldiers of the Qin army walk farther, walk faster, and be tired slowly while carrying the same weight." So is this useful? ”
"Well, if that's the case, it does. The military shoes you issued to the Yiyang battalion are quite good, and the shoes are comfortable and naturally walking is not so hard. ”
Bai Hui doesn't understand human body mechanics, but he understands that carrying a sack is more labor-saving than carrying a long-distance backpack.
It was precisely because Bai Hui did not understand human mechanics that he arranged for someone to try.
It's one of the dumbest, silliest, and most useful ways.
Make different backpacks, and then arrange for the soldiers of the Yiyang battalion to carry them on their backs when they run cross-country, so that the soldiers can provide first-hand information.
The workshop responsible for processing the backpack collects this information and then continuously improves the backpack.
With the technique of thick linen weaving, Bai Hui has obtained a thick fabric that is very close to the feeling of jeans in later generations, and this fabric is the best choice for making backpacks.
Then the officers were given leather backpacks.
It was impossible for the soldiers of the Qin army to travel lightly, they needed to carry weapons, bows, crossbows, dry food, and many other items.
Even if there is a baggage battalion responsible for transporting grain, each soldier has to carry at least two days of dry food on his body, and his own battalion can eat three to five days of food, according to the average calculation of each person, it will need to increase the weight of ten catties.
"It seems that you think farther than your brother, and this battle of Qin and Zhao has become more interesting."
Bai Qi smiled rarely.
The advantages of war are soldiers, equipment, training, logistics. None of these four items can be missing, and with outstanding logistics capabilities, Bai Qi can have more tactics to choose from.
Bai Qi raised a glass of wine: "Mengqi, how about you go south to attack Lingnan and lead the army alone?" ”
As the first person in the Qin military, Bai Qi had the qualifications to arrange the combat missions of the generals.
After hearing this, Meng Fu's face was not joyful, but a kind of helplessness.
Bai Qi asked again: "Don't want to go?" ”
Meng Wei immediately replied: "Don't dare, as a Qin general, I originally fought for the Qin State in all directions." ”
Bai raised his glass: "Drink it full!" ”
"Xie Wu Anjun." Meng Fu raised the big bowl, which was almost half a catty of wine, and it was still a spirit. Now that he has raised his glass, Meng Fu must take a larger drinking utensil, and then dry it in one gulp.
Watching Meng Biao drink the wine, Bai Qi laughed: "Okay." ”
"Xie Wu Anjun wine."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "According to what my brother Bai Hui said, he persuaded the general. The battle of Qin and Zhao has to be fought, but it can be slowed down. At that time, the Qin army will definitely not be all the way to the Zhao army, and the camp will be in charge, and Bai Hui will not lead the army alone. ”
Hearing Bai Qi say this, Meng Qi's eyes lit up.
Not to mention Meng Fu, but Gan Shu, Xiang Shou and others became excited.
I only heard Bai Qi say: "The military order given to Wang Yi is to take the Marquis of the Ji clan within half a year, if he can't be dispatched, he will go to the Hetao Racecourse." And you, within a year, will attack Lingnan for Daqin, and it will be difficult for you to sweep Lingnan, but you must take the important town of Lingnan. ”
After Bai Qi finished speaking to Meng Wei, he looked at Bai Hui: "That is an important town, you draw it out." ”
In terms of the degree of understanding of the world outside the Central Plains, Bai Qi is very clear, no one in the world can compare with Bai Hui, and Bai Hui can be said to know everything.
Bai Hui nodded: "There are indeed several important towns that must be taken, this is the core town of Lingnan." There should be a special military meeting to arrange this matter. ”
"Okay." Bai Qi was very satisfied with this answer, and Bai Qi said to Meng Fu again: "Within a year, Jiupu will have 70,000 elites, and the Qin army will send 50,000 elites, and you will control the affairs of the people yourself." The date of the war will be in the spring of next year, and the day you return to Luoyi will be the spring of the year after that. ”
Bai Qi has already set a time.
Bai Hui was very pleased that Bai Qi accepted his suggestion, so Bai Hui said: "The Qin army's battle against Zhao was a war that gambled on the fortunes of the country, and victory or defeat represented life and death. If my Great Qin is defeated, I am afraid that Great Qin will not be able to go east for twenty years. ”
Meng Wei stood up: "If the Zhao State is defeated, there will be no more Zhao State in this world." ”
Bai Qi shook his head: "It's not that powerful, if the Zhao State is defeated, it won't perish in a short time, it can support at least another five years." Unless our Qin army can win a big victory, it can attack Handan immediately after a big victory, but Bai Hui is right, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, this will not let the soldiers of the Qin army give their lives in vain. ”
"Brother wise."
Bai Hui didn't like the dead, and he didn't like the death or injury of the loyal and excellent soldiers of the Qin army.
One day in the future, Bai Hui plans to let Bai Qi take the soldiers of the Qin army to conquer a larger world, according to the strength of the Qin State, as long as the transportation problem can be solved, Nanyang and Tianzhu will not be a problem.
