Look, sentry, herald! A soldier with good eyesight saw a small group in the distance, and his voice attracted only a small amount of attention from a few people around him. Recently, the heralds have been shuttling around more often than before, and they have not seen anything of their own. Everyone was a little numb.

A certain battalion of Tieyun Cavalry is conducting another marching exercise in recent months. Three thousand sergeants lined up in five columns on the road, advancing without hurry. Due to the marching exercises in Yunzhou and the southern part of the farmland, the movement of the scouts was greatly restricted, and it was normal for a herald squad of four to be discovered in advance. The deputy of the battalion hurriedly led people to greet him, and said loudly: "This is the fourth battalion of Tieyun Cavalry, are you looking for us or passing by?" ”

"Is it Deputy Zhang Ying?" The two sides met on one side of the road, and they sat down on their horses and began to talk. "Please identify yourself."

Zhang Zhiwen hurriedly took out the leopard head emblem stamped from pure copper from his arms to indicate his identity, and lit up. "It's me."

"Deputy Zhang Ying, the 27th squad of the 3rd Section of the Military Order of the Headquarters of the Yunzhou Economic Strategy Mansion reports to you. This is a military order paperwork. There was no enemy attack along the way, and the military order documents are complete in triplicate, please sign for it. The other three heralds all took out brown paper envelopes sealed with fire paint from the leather bags they were straddling on, and handed them to the herald who spoke, and then handed them to Zhang Zhiwen together. He also handed Zhang Zhiwen a writing board with a stack of forms. Zhang Zhiwen took it and took a look, it was amazing, there were all the heads of the armies and the farms and ranches of the invalids in Yunzhou, but they were all adjutants...... And the commanders of all these troops were convened by this military meeting, and the 4th Battalion of the Tieyun Cavalry, where Zhang Zhiwen was located, was no exception.

Zhang Zhiwen pulled out the small copper seal stuck inside from the back of the leopard's head coat of arms, and solemnly printed his name on the form. "Thank you. I will give orders back to the High Command at the next Eagle Station. ”

"Deputy Zhang Ying, we have to continue to pass the order, so let's leave." The heralds saluted to Zhang Ying's lieutenant. Then the horse departed.

In Yunzhou, because everyone understands that the military situation is ever-changing, although Yunzhou already has a fairly complete and rapid herald system, it still can't catch up with the changes on the battlefield, and the transmission of military orders and the execution of military orders are separated. In the case of such direct orders to troops in daily training, the commander-in-chief should not open the envelope and reply in person, but should issue his own reply within two hours, indicating that he will carry it out, that he will carry it out but wait for further orders or explanations, or that it will be difficult to comply with it for the time being because of various difficulties, and so on. Since the next Eagle Station is more than ten miles away, Zhang Zhiwen's choice is undoubtedly the fastest way to return the order. Only after entering the battle, the commander in charge of the order needs to dismantle the order and reply in person.

Since the three military order documents were complete, and the battalion was in a meeting again, now the entire battalion was in charge of him and several detachment leaders, and he casually handed the other two documents to the people around him, and everyone opened them together.

"Brother Zhang, what's going on?" Glancing at the extremely simple command, everyone was a little confused. The order document gave them a time limit to get to a certain place, receive supplies, and rendezvous with the battalion to await further orders. Thinking of the densely packed herald registration form full of such people, it was clear that something had happened.

Regarding Yunzhou's planning of a big move, Zhang Zhiwu, that is, Zhang Zhiwen's brother, although he adhered to the confidentiality clause and did not tell him in detail, he still leaked some words to him, just so that he could be prepared at this time. Zhang Zhiwen thought about it, and suddenly became enlightened, the things that his brother said before, it turned out that this was what he said. Is it finally about to start?

"Hey, we're going to strike." Zhang Zhiwen ordered loudly: "The whole army will be suspended and rest in place for a quarter of an hour." Armang, you go to the Eagle Station to send a letter, and the fourth battalion of Tieyun Cavalry obeys the order and executes it immediately. …… Immediately convene a meeting of the squadron leader and above, hurry! ”

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and after Zhang Zhiwen's explanation according to his own understanding, he learned that Yunzhou was likely to launch a major offensive against the outside world, and looking at the direction of his own march, he pointed to Zijing Pass, and it was very likely that he was going to attack Xiling. Although the time given in the military order document was very tight, Tieyun Cavalry, as an elite cavalry with a deep local tradition, was fully sure to arrive early.

And after the He Battalion was pointing out the location for the meeting, everyone learned one after another that this time Yunzhou actually mobilized 30 of the 50 battalions at once, plus the congestion of the various tribes in the Benwolf Plain, the 25,000 people who must be overstaffed, and the heavy equipment battalion supported by the Tan family private army, a total of more than 120,000 regular combat troops were mobilized. In addition, the two baggage battalions of Suo Zheng's department that have been organized a long time ago, a reserve baggage battalion that is halfway through the reorganization process and the level is not bad, as well as the two auxiliary barracks stuffed by the Yunzhou Invalids Ranch Farm System, as well as the temporarily vacant transport teams of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Commerce and Trade Bureau, as well as the logistics team of more than 30,000 people, will provide supplies for the whole army with a super luxurious lineup.

When the fourth battalion of the Tieyun Cavalry arrived at the assembly location, they had already learned that Xu Yao, the deputy commander of the Jingyun Cavalry, had personally led the troops of the two battalions through the Bauhinia Pass, and with the assistance of the garrison battalion originally stationed at the Bauhinia Pass, they had conquered the two camps set up on the Xiling side to defend against the Bauhinia Pass in one fell swoop, completely taking the entire Bauhinia Valley passage into their own hands. Further north, on the front line of Changshi Pass, the main force of infantry led by Dai Shijin, the commander of the Yunzhou Infantry Army, slowly advanced, and at least one battalion had already entered Xiling......

The next military orders received by the 4th Battalion were more detailed and rigorous. Not only do there be detailed supply plans along the way, but the time is very stuck, and the arrival time requirements usually have an interval no earlier than what time and no later than what time. Naturally, everyone has done this kind of training, and they also know that this is for the smooth march in the early stage, so as not to have the problem of their own family blocking their own family on the road. Now the armies of Yunzhou are all big business, especially the infantry army, the equipment is luxurious, but the requirements for logistics and roads have also increased, although now everyone is not a mechanized army, and they will not completely rely on the road, but in the process of this kind of march, even a little impact on efficiency may determine the victory or defeat of the middle and late stages.

If you want to describe the current Yunzhou, the most appropriate metaphor may be that this is an arrogant and powerful sports car that tests how long it takes to go from a standstill to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The entire Yunzhou is running at full capacity, and it really isn't covered. Every time the soldiers arrive at a certain town or even just a village or mountain village according to the predetermined schedule, they basically have ready-made food, drinking water, accommodation, and even a special veterinarian to make a final diagnosis of those horses that may have problems. Although all the attacking troops came from all over the country on a part-time basis, some of them marched lightly according to orders, and some even withdrew from the defense line bordering Beiliao, but when they entered the territory of Xiling from Bauhinia Pass and Changshi Pass in turn according to the battalion unit, they were all well prepared and well supplied.

This kind of rigor and efficiency made Jiang Fangzhou, the new squire of Dongping's military department who came to observe the progress of the campaign, not know how to evaluate it, in fact, even the Yunzhou military itself did not expect that it could be executed so smoothly. The military progress was still secondary, and more than 30 battalions were set out one after another in such a short period of time, which was really a great surprise to the Zhenbei Military Division, and even several times in the past few days, no one escaped a complete victory. Due to the fact that the territory of the Zhenbei Military Division is also vast and sparsely populated, Jiang Xujing is a person who likes to fight decisive battles and surprise battles, and is accustomed to stationing a small number of troops everywhere and then gathering the main force of hedgehogs together and waiting for an opportunity to move. The real decisive battle is far from unfolding, and it doesn't make much sense how much territory is occupied now.

What really makes everyone full of praise is the entire logistics system now. The materials piled up in various warehouses formed two supply lines in Yunzhou that extended to Bauhinia Pass and Changshi Pass in just ten days. All kinds of items are delivered in an endless stream, and they are sent out in a very short time, usually no more than twelve hours. This kind of efficiency is a bit incredible in Ye Tao's opinion, not to mention everyone in this time and space. In Xiling, under the protection of two auxiliary battalions, the three baggage battalions transported all kinds of materials in an orderly manner, gave back to the stock of materials of each battalion, established front-line supply points, and renovated warehouses, ferries, and bridges...... And everyone's praise made these soldiers who thought that their baggage had never been taken seriously and that they could not earn much military merit worked harder.

If there's one thing that makes everyone even more incomprehensible, it's probably the two auxiliary barracks that the Invalids ranch farm system stuffed into. Although they are auxiliary barracks and are responsible for protecting supply lines, these two auxiliary barracks are composed of veterans who have served for more than three years and are no more than 35 years old within two years of retirement. It's just that it hasn't kept up with the adjustment and reorganization of Yunzhou's military strength in recent years.

Can't keep up with the training content? It doesn't matter, in the Invalids Farm Ranch, these veterans who fully meet the requirements have been training all kinds of subjects on a full-time or semi-full-time basis, and most of the content follows up the content of the main force of Yunzhou, especially the content of the two main battle cavalry, Tieyun Cavalry and Jingyun Cavalry. Equip? The Invalids Farm Ranch has never been short of money, and the various farms and ranches have selected these people for fear of losing face, and both the sergeants themselves and the farms and ranches have worked hard to equip them. There is even a complete squadron selected by the farm, one hundred and seven people use a thick-backed chopping knife of one-color Uzi steel, after checking the batch number of the product, Ye Tao roughly knows that it should be at the request of the Chunnan Imperial Court, specially made by the Ye Workshop in Yicheng, specially supplied to the Chunnan Forbidden Army, I don't know that there are such people in the farm system who can bring such good things. Regardless of this kind of special goods, the two auxiliary barracks may also be a concentrated display of the most high-end ordnance armor at present. In Yunzhou, armor of various designs and styles is updated quickly from generation to generation. According to Ye Tao, it is to meet the needs of the market, conform to the latest research results on protection and ergonomics, and reflect the latest research results of metal smelting, manufacturing processes, etc., which are produced every month in Yunzhou. Both the High Command and the Dongping Military Department made a record, but never considered replacing the armor in the army. The first cost-effective part of the army's armor is certainly a factor, and considering the unification of the system is also an important reason. If there is no better one, just change it, in that case, the army will not be able to be prepared.

If you want to talk about military appearance and military discipline, the auxiliary army is definitely not bad compared to the regular army. Because of their eagerness to fight, they hope to leave a good impression in the hearts of those main battle troops, so that they can also fight on the battlefield, and their excellence in all aspects makes the main battle troops also very stressed...... And Jiang Fangzhou didn't know how to evaluate this situation.
