What does it take to wage a war involving more than 100,000 people?

If this is a very complex project in the future, it is necessary to first determine the purpose of the war, and then to do detailed intelligence gathering based on this. After that, there is the overall planning of a variety of combat plans, not only the ways and means of war, but also the changes in all the people and things involved before, during, and after the war -- after all, war is only a means, and the goal to be achieved through war is fundamental, and this is a complex systems engineering. Okay, that's a bit of a rhetoric, but it's true, a war is not as simple as a neighborhood fight among small citizens. With a complete plan, the next step is the corresponding precise personnel deployment, combat readiness materials and weapons and equipment distribution, there are also many sayings, from the personality of combat personnel to the pertinence of weapon rationing, all of which can be dismantled in detail and opened a separate knowledge......

As for the control of the entire war, it is a crucial link, from the involvement of the battlefield to all contingency matters during the war, all contingency plans need to be prepared, and the kind of war planning that is meticulous to every minute and every second is not something that the so-called chief executive can decide on the head.

Of course, there is also a saying that the plan does not change quickly, no matter how precise the manpower calculation and estimation are, there will always be unplanned variables, then it is a test of the comprehensive quality of the combat personnel and the vital ability to adapt to the battle, these personnel are the core force of the future as a national strategy, not as a weapon of dead things, and the more advanced the country to the training of such personnel, the more attention is paid to the training of such personnel.

Lao Luo is actually a member of this kind of strategic person, as a special forces born and stepped into the position of a high-level officer in the international army, he can be called an absolute elite, so although he can't look down on the current crude cold weapon strategy model, he will never be negligent and underestimate the world.

Leading tens of thousands of people to travel tens of thousands of miles, even in the later generations with the development of information and transportation, it is a complicated matter, even if Lao Luo has a portable space to be a golden finger? Three heads and six arms can't solve a lot of chores.

Therefore, he positioned himself in the position of a guide from the beginning, and after all, the dispatch and management still had to rely on the "native" humans of this time and space, but fortunately, whether it was the gladiators selected from Athens or the descendants of the Tang people who were displaced to the west bank of the Magyar Sea, there was a basic framework for self-management, and he only needed to understand this foundation and adjust or add to it to make it more efficient.

As for the external environment, whether it is natural or humanistic, including difficulties on the way, banditry and even war, it is all tempering and sharpening this management framework.

The team, which had only been preparing for a few months in Sylvan and then rushed on the road, had gone through the grind of the road and time, and now it has been reborn and completely different. In this era of cold weapons, it has become a strategic force that Lao Luo can initially rely on, and this is also the foundation for Lao Luo to dare to confront the three joint Turkic, Qarluq, and Dangxiang departments head-on.

Well, if it was a sophisticated railgun that surrounded the wars of later generations, then the wars of this era were nothing more than a trebuchet of crude steel-wood structures.

Correspondingly, what does it take to prepare for a war on this plane? Or what does it have?

Some people may say that strong troops, sophisticated ordnance, and sufficient food and grass are all true, but the most important thing is the perfect military system and the unification of the people's hearts.

Although the Turkic, Qarluq, and Party departments are said to be numerous, their defects also lie precisely here -- although there are many people, they have different mentalities, and it is difficult to unify opinions to put it mildly, and it is difficult to unify opinions when it is difficult to say it, and it is a rabble to say it badly.

The three people can be pulled out separately or can block one side alone, but when they get together, they can only contain each other......

As for the other factor -- the military system, it is really not that we look down on the steppe tribes, but that for those who are familiar with the strict armament system of later generations, the army of the steppe tribes of this era is really not much different from the chaotic armies of small African countries in later generations.

The only difference is that the minds of the leaders of these three tribes are far from being comparable to the warlords of small African countries in later generations, it should be said that the guys who can get ahead in this era all have unusual minds, sandwiched in the place where Eastern and Western civilizations meet, the people in these ethnic groups do not have any accumulation of family background, these guys basically rely on personal charm and courage to fight, so Lao Luo values this the most.

Since there was no consensus reached on this matter, there was no room for mitigation between the two sides, especially since Lao Luo also humiliated the eastern Khan king Yusuf of the Qarluq people on the spot. Kadir Khan, in such a situation, even Lao Luo felt that things were slowly getting out of his prediction.

As the sun sets, the prairie begins to cool down after a hot day, and the wind blowing down from the snowy mountains finally takes away a lot of the mixed smells in the area, no longer the disgusting smell of rancid and barbecue.

After thinking of the various possible actions of the three people, Lao Luo asked all the generals who participated in the battle to come over, the weather at night was still a little cool, everyone sat around the bonfire under the starry sky, in addition to a few main troop leaders, Samuel of the ballista battalion participated in the public for the first time as an officer, and the captains of each battalion headquarters were qualified to audit, Lao Luo was not worried about secrecy, in fact, all the officers were personally appointed by him this time, and everyone basically knew what character they had. Such a meeting is also a workout for those who attend.

"General, Alker's side has already made preparations, and the seventh and eighth capitals of the cavalry school have been prepared, do you want to go over and say a few words to them?" Alki walked over to Lao Luo, who was sitting by the campfire, and whispered in a low voice.

"No need, Alker should know what to say and do, tell them to pay attention to their whereabouts, and do everything according to plan!" Lao Luo shook his head, although this centaur still lacks a lot of things, but the quality of the most important soldier no longer needs him to worry, although it is good to give a speech to the soldier before the expedition to enhance his personal prestige, but Lao Luo really does not lack such an opportunity, so there is still no need to do formal things.

"Yes, Lord, I'll go and tell them!" Olki turned around and went personally.

Lao Luo clapped his hands and signaled everyone around him to be quiet, "In the evening, you all know the result of my conversation with the enemy opposite, if there is no accident, today and tomorrow are the fiercest days of this battle, tell me, are you ready?" ”

"Ready!" The people who were still talking to each other instantly fell silent, and then sat cross-legged on the blankets spread on the ground and replied in unison.

"In the afternoon, the great emir of the Turks, Mahmud, said to me that their army was three times as large as ours, and that he could mobilize more men at any time to encircle and suppress us if he wished, are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of! Let's kill one by one, and kill one by two! ”

"If you're not afraid, just cut off a few more heads, what's so scary......

"Mahmoud is lying, where did he transfer so many people from!"

"That is, we have killed at least seventy or eighty thousand of them, how many more Turks can there be?"

“……”

This time, the answer is not so neat, there are different opinions, but Lao Luo feels very pleased, although these guys in front of him cannot be compared with the comrades-in-arms of later generations, but the spirit of fighting and winning has been stimulated, they who have experienced many victories are no longer imprisoned gladiators, nor are they no longer bullied small clans struggling to survive on the Sylvan Plains, but brave soldiers armed by successive victories and the yearning to rebuild their homeland!

"Okay, although there are many people on the other side, we are not vegetarians, destroying the enemy and defeating the enemy is not only as troublesome as slashing, stabbing and shooting, we also have canisters, vine and wood balls, and the ballista battalion that you have heard of for a long time!" Drinking again to silence everyone, Lao Luo officially pushed the ballista battalion out.

According to the military system of various ethnic groups in this era, even if there are trebuchets and bed crossbows, they are only placed in the infantry army, and there is no single row of camps, this ballista battalion formed by Lao Luo started in Kuzak in winter, and specially selected more than 1,000 tall and strong muscular men, and these guys have participated in the whole process from the beginning of making pine cannons, and now they can be called a technical branch of soldiers and craftsmen combined.

Of course, limited to the issue of secrecy, although most of the officers present had heard about it, none of them dared to listen to anything indiscriminately -- the power of the blue-eyed devil Sidrknord and Lao Luo's orders combined, that power was not something that ordinary people could bear.

"Samuel, the captain of the Ballista Battalion." Lao Luo waved his hand to signal Samuel to stand up and give everyone a complete impression, and then said, "In the next few days of fighting, the ballista battalion will be involved." Well...... The weapons they use will move relatively loudly, and everyone should remind their sons and daughters to pay attention...... In winter, in Kuzak, you should have heard a thunderous roar from afar, and that is it. ”

"General, my cavalry school...... How to cooperate with the ballista battalion? When everyone looked puzzled, Gonzhas pondered for a moment and asked.

This is indeed a very practical problem, Lao Luo is not thinking of what is the head of the party, in fact, although he launched the "new" thing of the ballista battalion, but he did not expect to be able to make a splash, as for the tactical coordination, there is no time to practice, he said directly: "There is no need for cooperation, the ballista battalion does not need to charge to fight, if the ballista battalion is ordered to attack, it must be before the cavalry is dispatched, and when the cavalry goes out to fight, they are basically idle defense and garrison battalions to perform the same task." ”

There is no way to calculate the range of shells like the pine cannon, it has too much unpredictability, so what infantry artillery coordination, mounted artillery coordination and the like still don't think about it at all, anyway, this is a transitional weapon, Lao Luo is simply planning to face a large number of enemies in winter.

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, no one asked any more questions, so Lao Luo didn't explain anymore, and the specifics would be clear until wartime, "Everyone, tonight, the ninth capital of the cavalry school is on duty, and the garrison camp arranges resting in turn, and each battalion pays attention to guarding against enemy sneak attacks, but is there a problem?" ”

"Obey the Lord's orders!"

"Tomorrow morning, the evening time will make food, the battalions will be ready, the ballista battalion will be the first to attack, the cavalry school will be on standby at any time, and the garrison battalion will be on guard!" It is enough to introduce a few words about the ballista battalion, and the training and teaching have been completed, and Lao Luo does not need to say anything more, and directly makes the deployment of the war.

He didn't want to have a long night and dreams, and there were some bad changes in the people of the three departments, Mahmoud and Yusuf. Kadir Khan plus Li Deming, none of these three people are ordinary people, God knows what hellish strategy these guys will come out after one night, so he decided to strike first, even if it is a temporary pine cannon, I believe it will give a huge surprise to the steppe tribes in this era!
