The new season, the different atmosphere, and the growing smell of war have produced a cascading effect on all aspects of society, first of all, commercial trade has become more frequent, and then the number of civilians participating in the army has skyrocketed, and all aspects of the change seem to be great in an instant.

Since the Han Ministry had long anticipated that the war would come, she was preparing for war at all times, and the impact on her was smaller than expected, and the rational allocation of resources made it possible to use the resources urgently needed in the early stage of the construction of the internal affairs, and the speed of the development of the internal affairs was not as rapid as at the beginning, but it was not significantly slowed down.

At present, the living forces of the Han Department are all the reserve forces of the army, and the losses of the front-line corps can be quickly replenished, and the three new infantry corps have already been driven to the Wei's Korean battlefield after the recruit training period, where they will conduct low-intensity actual combat and mature step by step. Those infantry legions will be tempered in iron and fire, either becoming stronger or being devoured by the beast of war, and they are now in dire need of run-in to take on the responsibility of going south for a unified war in the future, so the price they must pay cannot be stingy.

As the war approached, in order to reduce the pressure on Xilin, Han Anguo, the chief of the Central Council, was transferred to the Wei's Korean front, where he would coordinate the war nearby and fully assume the command of the Han army in the Wei's Korean battlefield, so that Xilin could concentrate on dealing with the threat from the Xiongnu and no longer be distracted from the secondary Wei's Korean battlefield.

During the winter period, there were two legions in Xilin, they were the Shence Army under the direct command of Lin Bin and the Leopard Army of Jiahe. Both legions were predominantly cavalry. The total number of soldiers, including the servants accompanying the battle, reached 270,000. These two legions, which were mainly used to fight against the Huns, were basically ready for war in the winter, and the military supplies previously consumed by the regular army were quickly replenished, and new types of weapons were issued. The stockpiles of major arrowheads, which consumed a lot of munitions, were even more unprecedented.

After a winter break, the leopard army led by Jiahe was sent to the Umu grassland after the snow melted in the spring, and because the war had not yet broken out, the leopard army's marching speed was not very fast, and it took five days to reach the military area at the front of the Umu steppe.

The Umu steppe had been fortified due to its proximity to the Xiongnu, and there were scattered garrisons, which served to supply the army as necessary, leaving a small part of the defenders. Garrisons, on the other hand, do not accept large-scale military garrisons, and if you want to be stationed, you need to go to relatively large military facilities - bunkers or fortresses.

The Leopard Army will not act immediately after reaching the Umu steppe, in fact, each army cannot fight immediately after reaching a new location. They need a short buffer period, and there is also such a buffer period within their own territory, after all, the army does not act individually but in groups, and every unit composed of many individuals needs time to be arranged.

The Umu grassland in spring is a cloudy and rainy season. The clouds and rain can come and sprinkle a few drops of rain at any time, and then it will be sunny again. The accumulation of water over and over again tends to turn some areas into water depressions, and some areas become shallow swamps because of long-term accumulation, and swamp areas are basically inaccessible to people.

The current garrison of the Leopard Army is the frontier area of the Umu Grassland, which is only more than 300 miles away from the base camp of the Huns, Langjuxu Mountain. At the same time, the Leopard Army is not the only army on the Umu front, precisely because it is too close to Wolf Juxu Mountain, a border army of 50,000 people has been stationed here for a long time, and this border army is reorganized from the basis of the war servants, and these war servants are all soldiers who started with Lin Bin, so it can be regarded as a disguised promotion of meritorious war servants to make them a member of the regular army. It's just that the border is more difficult and dangerous.

Because he is the commander of a main army, Koga enjoys some privileges. After he arrived at the military fort at the front of Wumu, Zuo Ling, the captain of the border army, gave up his residence, and at the same time, the military buildings of the border army were basically given to the staff system of the leopard army, which was the treatment that the main army and the ordinary army could not compare.

Koga didn't have the habit of staying in the house for a long time as long as he was awake, he couldn't move but couldn't stand the narrow space, at this time he was standing on the wall of the humble fortress and looking out, while Captain Zuo Yu was standing quietly next to him.

The wall of the fort is no more than three feet high, it is built from a mixture of stones and earth, such a wall is built quickly but basically does not play a defensive role, but there are few stones on the grassland, not to mention that there are few stones, so there is no way to do it. The wall did not bear a real defensive role, in fact, it was just a comfort to the soldiers.

Facts have proved that the psychological quality of soldiers in defensive positions is definitely higher than that in field positions, and this is a common self-protection reaction of people.

"Have you found any Hun scouts coming to investigate in the near future?"

"Commander Hui: I haven't found the Hun scouts for more than a month."

"What about the herders?"

"Yes, but not in large numbers. The last general sent cavalry to capture him, but he was not resisted. ”

Koga's eyes were habitually confused, the tribes of the steppe peoples had basically run out of storage after a winter, and they would migrate at the beginning of spring in search of new water and grasslands.

The Han border army occupied the Umu grassland for only a year, and this news was only limited to a small range, so there will still be some tribal herdsmen who do not know the situation to break in, usually in this case, those tribes do not want to go anymore, the border army of the Han will send cavalry to capture according to the number of invaders, and the captured herdsmen basically become slaves of the Han department.

Why did Hanbu keep adding slaves? War was part of it, but it was more often obtained on the steppe, which was also an unconventional way to weaken the strength of the Xiongnu.

Koga withdrew his gaze, and he turned to look at the fort, which had been established for less than a year, and looked very new, with no signs of a battle, either from the symbolic mixed walls or the troop house.

"The Huns didn't come to harass?"

Zuo Yu was stunned and smiled bitterly: "This place has not been harassed by the Huns, but the military fort in front is frequent. In the autumn of last year, three front-line forts were breached by the Huns, and they were not reoccupied until winter. "As for the small station...... Even more were erased.

Zuo Yu bitterly recalled the early stage of the struggle when he first arrived in Wumu, when the competition with the grassland tribes was full of blood, for a piece of grassland, a water source usually needs to go through a hard fight to snatch it from the grassland tribes, sometimes snatched over without leaving enough troops will be retaliated, this situation until Xilin noticed the war situation in Wumu and decided to establish a defensive line for the better, with the help of the wolf army, the border army basically cleared the threat, so as to form a relatively stable garrison area.

Jiahe has always been a relatively silent person, and of course the officers in the military system also know about this situation, so Zuo Ling did not plan to take the opportunity to complain.

It's basically common sense that silent people seem to be difficult to communicate, but Koga is a person who is very easy to communicate with, and he has always been a good person and takes care of his subordinates. He took the initiative to ask Zuo Ling if he had any difficulties.

Zuo Ling was very pleasantly surprised, the so-called official level crushed people to death, and few superiors took the initiative to think about their subordinates. He thought about it carefully, and didn't dare to ask too much: "My lord...... Can you give some arrows? He saw that Jia He's eyebrows were raised, and he explained in a low voice: "The consumption of arrows in the battle outside the fortress is very large, and the number of arrows that Xilin replenishes every month is very small and insufficient. ”

Koga smiled and responded, "500,000 arrows are enough?" ”

Of course, Zuo Ling was overjoyed, Xilin only replenished 200,000 arrows every month, and the average score below was not enough for each archer to shoot five rounds, and he couldn't even afford a big battle during the large-scale harassment of the Huns.

In fact, this situation is not that the border army is not valued, but that the main battlefield of the Han Department was in Liaodi some time ago, and it is needless to say that the attack is cautious, and the arrows needed in the stalemate Wei's Korean battlefield are basically consumed under the premise of preparing for war, and the production of Xilin is basically exhausted, so that other theaters naturally lack supplies.

Here Jiahe is a little humorous, in fact, with the change of the war situation, the Umu Theater will become the focus of the Han Army's care in the future, and the number of arrows transported from Xilin to Umu in the future will definitely exceed the number of Wei's Korean battlefield, so in the future, the border army of Umu will basically not lack arrows, and Jiahe will only send the Umu border army to get arrows.

He got off the mixed wall and walked directly to the troop accumulation area, he needed to observe the morale of the border soldiers, and the other was to see how the living environment was. Sometimes, just a simple look at the living environment of the army can see the will and combat effectiveness of an army, and what he sees is that the daily necessities of the border soldiers and soldiers are quite complete, and the troop house is also neat. Waiting to see the drills of the sergeants on the side, he could judge that the combat effectiveness of this army was okay, and basically it would not drag the Leopard Army back.

"Captain Left."

"The end will be."

"Transfer the scout battalion under your command to the Leopard Army within five days."

"Huh? End...... The last will obey! ”

The additional scout battalions were drawn to indicate that the exploration and search were about to begin in the early stages of the war......
