Every war always starts with a battle between scouts, the Han scouts who were sent out from all over the country were ordered to explore the belonging area, their task did not need to be repeated, and the information found was reported back to the subordinate army and did not get rest, judging by the situation, almost every area had to be determined repeatedly, and the superior speculated how many troops were needed to carry out the attack, how much time it would take, whether it would be greater than the pay, and the battle plan would be formulated after determining the value, so that the early clean-up operation could be carried out. It is common to clear the enemy strongholds around the primary target before attacking the primary target. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

From the day the Leopard Army arrived in the Umu steppe, according to incomplete statistics, at least four or more offensive military targets were discovered within half a month alone, and the rest of the non-military targets that had no offensive value were also secretly monitored or tracked by scouts.

Whether the efficiency of the scout efficiency is fast or not can completely affect the combat effectiveness of a legion, Koga is quite satisfied with the efficiency of the scouts under his command, and is very optimistic about the scouts of the border army system, and the strength shown by the border army is also quickly recognized by the scouts of the leopard army, so the run-in of the scouts temporarily integrated by the two different systems is going very smoothly.

The army of the Han Department is basically the same as the army of the Han State, and the structure of the army of the Han State is basically the same as that of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

It is necessary to introduce the following military structures of the deputy commander:

The standing army, which was organized in accordance with wartime, was gradually fixed, with the ministry as the basic unit. The department is commanded by the lieutenant, so the department is sometimes called the 'school'. Vacancies in the lieutenant shall be led by the military commander. The rank of lieutenant is equivalent to that of a lieutenant. In the Han Kingdom, it was an official position of more than 2,000 stones, a military marquis was equivalent to a county lieutenant, that is, an official position of more than 600 stones, and the tun commander and team rate were equivalent to 200 stones and 100 stones of county officials. The following chiefs and chiefs are not considered officials. However, the food provided by the Han State to the officials was replaced by other goods in the Han Ministry. such as livestock or the equivalent of money,

The establishment of subordinates and below the level of subordinates is not fixed, and there are several 'curves' according to the task; and the establishment of units above the ministry level is also not fixed, and the generals appointed by the unified army departments according to the strategic direction and campaign tasks (the Han Department has a fixed leading general) command several units organized according to the task, forming a force of a certain campaign or strategic direction, sometimes called an army. The shogun's headquarters was called the 'shogunate' because it had to camp in the field and set up tents. Of course, the Han Department also inherited the practices of the Shogunate, and the Han State tended to give considerable personnel power, which was also partially enjoyed by the Han Department.

After the shogun of the Han Kingdom established the shogunate, he was allowed to appoint shogunate officials on a temporary basis. Therefore, the general's expedition is also called 'Kaifu', and all officials, including generals, in the Han Dynasty do not have the power to open the government, and the personnel of the combat troops, whether military or civilian, are appointed by the Council.

At the same time, the Han Department also borrowed from the 'battalion' model of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The model of the so-called Eastern Han battalion is the "five captains" of the Northern Army directly under the imperial court, and the troops are called "five battalions". Each battalion should be equivalent to the ministry in the past, but the establishment quota is only about 1,000 people, and the title of the battalion of the Han Department only exists in the scout system, so the entire scout system is special, and the treatment is equivalent to the modern military police, which is equivalent to the treatment of a higher level below the general. Of course, this is because Scouts have the highest attendance rate and the highest death rate in the army!

Koga was listening to the report of the captain of the scout battalion at this time......

Note! It has already been prompted earlier. The scout battalion is borrowed from the 'battalion' of the Northern Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the soldiers of the first battalion are definitely not the 800 people of the modern battalion. The number of scout battalions under each army may be increased or decreased depending on the theater of operations.

“…… Over here...... There are also ...... here, these places have found the Hun scouts, according to the investigation of the scouts under the command of the last general, the Hun scouts are not all under the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, and the clothes on their bodies indicate that they come from at least four different tribes. The information currently known is ......" The captain of the scout battalion Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed to the map on the table: "Both the Elsera Department and the Ulan Department have sent scouts to participate in the exploration activities of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting. Another discovery made by the subordinates of the last general that the Xianbei people who had joined the Xiongnu also seemed to have sent troops. ”

Koga was very satisfied with the simplicity of the scout battalion lieutenant Zhong when he reported the information, and when the scout should have a good habit of making a long story short, otherwise the daylily would be cold after a long period of speech. He turned his head and motioned to Fan Sen, the accompanying military staff officer, to remember, and after receiving Fan Sen's recorded response, he looked at the scout battalion lieutenant again: "Can you go deeper into it?" ”

The captain of the scout battalion lieutenant Zhong didn't mean to elevate himself at all, he said very seriously: "Commander, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting has already sent troops in the direction of Wumu, and our side is too far away from the Wolf Juxu Mountain, where the Xiongnu Shan Yuting is located, and it is too deep...... I'm afraid not. ”

Of course, Jiahe knew this, and since he didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, he only had a strong order: "We must investigate deeply and know the approximate number of the Xiongnu army before we can formulate a strategy against the enemy." ”

Zhong could only nod in response, "Oh!" "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that my brothers will lose a few more.

Fan Sen wrote down the attachment to Jiahe's order, and he re-flipped through the parchment: "Commander, there are Hun tribes twenty-three, thirty-one, twenty-six, and seventeen miles away from our army, do you send cavalry to hunt and kill according to the plan?" ”

Jiahe only glanced at Fan Sen and did not speak, and he did not look at Fan Sen again until he received a guarantee from the scout battalion captain Zhong to let Zhong withdraw from the Chinese army's tent.

"Staff Officer Fan."

"The subordinates are here!"

"The Xiongnu have already sent a large army to Umu on the way, and the plan to clean up the steppe tribes made a little earlier can no longer be done! Once those tribes are beaten, they will be startled, first put those small tribes away, and the assigned troops will be recruited and assembled in the ......" Jiahe pointed to the place where the map of the place was clearly 'Shangshan (Erenhot City, Inner Mongolia)', and he lightly tapped his finger: "Gather here!" ”

"It's a subordinate who doesn't think it through." Humility was always something that subordinates should do, and Fan Sen wrote down the order before saying: "There is a basin in the direction of the Xiongnu in the land of goodness, and there are many hills on the way, and there is no good place to ambush it......"

"You know, I know, and the Huns naturally know." Koga knew that it was the duty of the military staff officer to identify and raise questions, and he was not angry at all, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if there is no place to ambush, we can't rely only on the terrain to fight, we also need to be good at creating favorable terrain." The reason why the army is now ordered to assemble is precisely because the soldiers under his command need to make preliminary preparations, you see...... This is the most likely route chosen by the Huns, and the Huns must be eager to fight in order to break through the defense line of our army and create a breakthrough, and will not choose to take a long detour. Although the other can reach the Umu grassland, but relatively speaking, the distance is too far, and there are relatively many desert sections on the road, if you are a Hun who is eager to fight, which one will you choose? ”

Naturally, there is no need to recount the cumbersome matters such as discussions and deployments between the top echelons of the armed forces.

The Leopard Army made a mobile assembly under the order of Jiahe, and part of the border army drove to the place where the Leopard Army was originally stationed under the order of Zuo Ling to disguise that people were still in the barracks, so that five days passed unconsciously......

Time is very important during the preparation for war, and people pass without paying attention to it when they are extremely busy, but after the outbreak of war, there is a great contrast, and people in war will always pass slowly, and no one can be an exception to this.

Five days later, ...... was the ninth day of October in 139 B.C.......

An extremely large number of cavalry entered from the southeast side of the Umu steppe, these cavalry looked very strong, and at the same time their robes and armor had great particularities, and the other three cavalry armies of the Han Dynasty, they completely abandoned the era should be exquisite, everything was practical, so it looked a little alternative and a little ugly, but it is undeniable that the cavalry rushing forward the style of equipment and exuded a fierce temperament made them extremely oppressive.

Many of the soldiers of this cavalry completely ignored the notion that 'the body is the body, and the parents are the parents', and if you take off the riding pocket (cavalry helmet) on your head, the long strands of hair are no longer there, and are replaced by a flat hairstyle similar to that of a modern army. In fact, this is not a hard and fast rule, but the result of Lin Bin's influence, and in fact, this is very conducive to physical health and a short time to comb on weekdays, perhaps many people do not know that the fatal suppuration caused by the head and hands of ancient war soldiers is due to bacteria in the hair......

There is no need to guess that this special cavalry army is the Shence Army that rushed from Xilin to the Umu Grassland, as the advance force of the Shence Army, there are 20,000 regular knights and 70,000 war servants under the leadership of Shuang and Han An to arrive at the Umu Grassland first, this is not to respond to or cooperate with the military operations of the Leopard Army, but for other military purposes.

The army under the direct command of the supreme ruler must have enjoyed special privileges, and the advance troops of the Shence army were stationed in the pre-prepared barracks as soon as they arrived, and there were even border soldiers who prepared meals for them before they even set foot in the barracks.

Frost is the deputy commander of the Shence Army, but everyone knows that he is actually the unnamed leader of the Shence Army. This is because Lin Bin is no longer a pure martial artist, Lin Bin has too little time to manage the Shence Army, so naturally someone needs to take it on, and Shuang is one of Lin Bin's most trusted people, and the actual management power of the Shence Army is delegated to Shuang.

As for Han An, the other deputy commander of the Shence Army, he is also relatively powerful compared to Zhao Zuo, Hou Fu, and Fan Hai, who are also the deputy commanders of the Shence Army, which is the so-called seniority problem of the army.

Right now...... The two people with long-term cooperation experience looked at each other and smiled, the Shence army has been nesting in Xilin and has not moved, except for training or training, this time it can finally come out to breathe, and it seems that their ruler has also prepared a big dish for this army, if it does not attack, the final combat target of a sortie is the Huns' wolf Juxu Mountain!
