Chapter 549: Gambling!
"Congratulations to the doppelganger of the 9527 trialists, who helped the body regain people's hearts, Han Shizhong's loyalty to you: 95 points. Opinion: 90 points! With 95 loyalty and 90 favorability, it's unlikely that you'll betray you. Of course, the premise is that you can't rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise your favorability and loyalty will bottom out in minutes. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. As a result of death, this perception technique does not bear any legal responsibility! ”
Pondering, in other words, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger thought about it, one of his biggest gains recently, think about it carefully, it seems that in addition to modifying a wave of historical processes, there is also a large number of loyal younger brothers who have gained loyalty, and they are rising, right?
However, just when Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was planning to transfer people to reverse to prevent the Jurchens, the quartermaster came over and gave a bad news.
It turned out that the logistics line was broken, and it was said that it was caused by the collapse of the rear road, so Ma Zhi said that he went back to discuss with Xuan Shuai, but there was no news for several days.
The land of Yanyun has long been ruined, there is nothing to plunder, and all supplies must be transported from the rear. A few days ago, a large amount of grain and materials hoarded in Zhuozhou were suddenly transferred forward like water.
Although Zhu Zilong's doppelganger also suspected that someone was playing ghosts, he only went all the way, and he was also involved in it. The difficulty of material transportation is indeed not easy, but it is not easy to conclude.
From the Song Border to Liaodi, it is only about 700 miles. Even if the more than 100,000 troops did not advance all at once and marched in batches, the logistics were all untouched, and the grain and grass went first.
The journey of more than 700 miles, according to the normal marching speed, 5 or 60 miles a day, takes about 15 days; If the speed of the march is based on the baggage, that is, 3 or 40 miles per day, it will take 20 days. Let's calculate according to the 20 days of going back, returning to 20 days, and fighting 20 days, it will take 60 days.
A young man eats 2 liters of rice a day, 1.2 stone of rice for 60 days, and 12,000 stone for 10,000 people for 60 days. 1 donkey bears 1 stone, mules and horses carry 1.5 stones, and ox carts carry 10 stones. "Then deceive for 300 grain carts, each cart of five strong men, each with a sword, a crossbow", 1 person and weapons are equivalent to 2 stones!
Each soldier, carrying a hundred days' ration and equipment, weighed more than three stones.
The number of hundreds of thousands of troops is calculated in batches, and the average number of troops is 100,000. The weight of 100,000 soldiers, calculated according to 100 days, more than 300,000 stones, calculated according to 60 days, can only subtract 80,000 stones, roughly around 250,000 stones, 240,000 is a good calculation!
Each fire (10 people), the standard equipped with six packs, the livestock are mostly donkeys, calculated from the leniency, each fire is equipped with 8 horses and mules, the weight is 1.5 stones, and the weight can only be 12 stones, except for weapons and equipment, etc., can bring very little food. According to the calculation of 60 days of marching operations, each person has to bear an additional 1 stone baggage, and special baggage transportation must be arranged.
100,000 soldiers, including 20,000 cavalry, if only 1 horse and 1 horse are counted, there will be 20,000 war horses. This is basically all the cavalry belongings of Song Yilai, and even if there are still them, it is estimated that they are the kind of goods that are sold in China.
100,000 soldiers have a total of 10,000 fires, and according to the calculation of 1 fire and eight packs, 80,000 horses and mules can be driven alone, and this only bears the logistics of 120,000 stones, and also needs to bear 120,000 stones. If the baggage was all ox carts, it would have been 12,000 vehicles, and if it had been transported by horses and mules, it would have been 80,000 horses.
According to the best conditions, four ox carts are in a row, each row is 5 meters, then a single baggage force can be lined up for 30 miles, according to the best travel speed, the ox cart will go 3 or 40 miles a day, that is, the first baggage troops arrive at the camp to rest, and the rear baggage troops have just set off. There are also 100,000 war horses and beasts, which add up to at least 100 miles.
Moreover, it is a hundred miles long, and it is extremely difficult to walk and is extremely easy to be attacked. At any pass, so many heavy logistics can easily form a traffic bottleneck. Therefore, in the middle of the road, many troops will be arranged from time to time to disperse and protect, saying that it is a hundred thousand troops, and there may be only tens of thousands of people who can really be used to participate in the war!
Tens of thousands of horses, calculated as less, at least 10,000 stone of grain and beans a day. , according to the minimum standard, the horse eats grass and forgets it, and when it dies, it is pulled down. (Just kidding, there are too many deaths, and the emperor calculates the general account afterwards, and it is estimated that he will become hard labor if he has no credit!) )
If you don't use ox carts, you can use horses, mules and donkeys, at least 18-200,000 horses. There's not enough grass on the road to eat. Unrealistic, unrealistic!
With ox carts, cattle transportation, but also have to consider livestock injury, illness and other issues, just like Shen Kuo said: "If the animal transport, then the camel bears three stones, horses, mules one stone and five buckets, donkeys one stone, than the human transport, although the burden is more and the cost is less, but from time to time, the livestock is more thin to death, and one animal dies, then the people will abandon it, compared with the people, the benefits and disadvantages are half." "Well, there's also the issue of ox cart damage.
In this logistics, the country has contributed a lot of blood, and even Zhu Zilong's body is gritting his teeth and basically losing money to help with logistics.
Even so, an army of 100,000 set off from the grain-producing area for a thousand miles of expedition, in ancient times, unless it was like Wei Huova Xiongnu and Li Shimin's expedition to Liaodong, regardless of losses, the whole country supported it, otherwise, there would be more than one luck.
Don't look at the full support of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty actually spent a lot of money in the country, and I always felt that there was a thread, and there might be a big problem at any time.
No, supplying a large army, its complicated and tiring, is unimaginable if it is not for military affairs. It was suddenly interrupted without a catastrophe, wasn't it?
-
"Fortunately, the Liao people are worse than us, otherwise, I really can't imagine that this war has dragged on for a long time, will it be over before the fight......" Silently looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, Zhu Zilong's clone thought silently.
As he guessed, it is true that the situation of the Liao people is even more unbearable.
Even if the Liao people have more soldiers and horses than the Song army, they only have the broken Nanjing to rely on, and they don't even have a logistics line.
The people in the Great Song Dynasty came to serve as conscripts. When the deadline comes, you have to go back, and you can even pay some wages back. Motivation is not enough, only less or normal level.
The men in the Liao city are completely half-worked, after all, it is difficult to even eat enough, not to mention the salary, it is impossible. If you're not careful, you might die!
Food is only one aspect of replenishing the army. There are also military-funded equipment, which are even more cumbersome to point out. The camp slept crookedly and snored loudly in the open space, and everyone was exhausted after a trip to the rear of the front line. It's extremely numb!
The bloody battle ahead, I don't know how many wind swords and frost swords there are in the rear, it is really up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
Bet, both sides are betting.
It's just that in Chang Cong's opinion, it is obvious that the Song people have a much greater chance of winning the bet. However, after learning the news of the Jurchen's southward movement, Zhu Zilong, whether it was the main body or the clone, had an optimistic attitude from the original, and now has a lot of anxious thoughts.
Without it, the Jurchens are too advantageous!
