Chapter 100: Goodbye Lu Zhishen
After two consecutive victories, the Bazi Army captured a large number of food, not only a large amount of grain, but also a large number of pack horses and war horses. There were 3,000 war horses, 5,000 pack horses, 6,000 horses, etc., totaling more than 14,000.
Looking at these horses, Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There are also four, six, nine and so on, the best horse is used as a guard of honor, the second horse is used for reconnaissance and riding, the second horse is used for cavalry, and the most inferior horse is used to pull the cart.
Some horses are good at short-term sprints, but not good at long-term runs; Some horses can't sprint for a short time, but they can endure long-distance running; Some are rich and noble horses, and they must be fed with good grain, and the food will be strained; Some are civilian horses, even if they eat grass, they still walk like flying; Some horses are good at marching between mountains, and some are good at walking on plains; Some horses are naturally good at lifting heavy objects, while some war horses are not good at lifting heavy objects.
In short, Maxima, good horses are only relative.
There is no such thing as the best horse in the world, only the most suitable one.
The kind of horse that is a champion in every way is destined to be just a dream. Different warhorses have different emphases. According to the characteristics of different horses and the habits of horses, arranging different characters is the best strategy for using horses.
However, Song Jun is not a Jin Jun after all, and he is very unfamiliar with the understanding of horses, and he understands it roughly, but it is a little difficult to be detailed. There are very few people in the army who know horses, so they can only follow their feelings. It's just that I feel that many moments are wrong, and as a result, many horses work in the wrong position, and they are not properly cared for, many horses die of illness, and many of them are sick even if they are not sick.
This made Zhao Pu have to sigh, Ma is more difficult to serve than people.
However, horses are difficult to serve, and they must be carefully served.
In ancient times, there were no trucks, no trains, and horses were the most important means of transportation on land. And to evaluate how mobile an army is, it is often based on the number of horses in that army.
In Zhao Pu's view, the army of the Song Dynasty was very tragic, its mobility was too poor, it could not run when it encountered a strong enemy, and it could not catch up with a weak enemy. The result was that there was good luck in a rout battle, and bad luck was a big rout, and there were almost no total annihilation battles, and the Song army rarely annihilated the enemy army in formation, all because of the poor mobility ability.
After the division of troops, Zhao Pu continued to walk day and night, constantly walking in the mountains, not taking small roads, in order to prevent the Jin army from finding out, once the Jin army found out, the large group of people and horses gathered, it would be a tragedy, it was definitely the material to be completely annihilated.
In Zhao Pu's view, it doesn't matter if the strength of an army is poor, no army is born to win a hundred battles, and there is no army that will not lose a battle for a lifetime. As long as there is strict military discipline, strict training, plus a few battles and a few bloodsheds, recruits become veterans, and a strong army will naturally be achieved.
However, the premise of all this is that if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, and preserve your strength.
There is no shame in running away for an army, and in the case of a huge disparity between the enemy and us, in order to preserve its strength and get permission from its superiors, it is understandable when it runs away. It's a shame to run away, and it's a shame that the speed of running is too slow, and in the end the enemy bites the tail and fights a war of annihilation.
In fact, there are many armies that are just running away and being annihilated by the enemy, not on the battlefield.
Therefore, Zhao Pu attaches great importance to mobility ability, which is very important.
In order to improve the mobility of the whole army, they worked hard in two aspects: one was to constantly train soldiers in their weight-bearing cross-country ability, and try to turn their two legs into scuds; On the other hand, it is to train the soldiers' ability to run on horseback, and they are not required to walk on the ground in Ma'anshan like the Jurchen soldiers, but only to be able to move forward quickly on horseback.
After the death of hundreds of war horses, I finally found some experience. The sickness rate and sub-health status of horses have finally been suppressed.
At this moment, the Bazi Army finally showed strong mobility ability, and more horses could be one for each person; If you are marching in an emergency, it will be faster. If it is a special case, one person and three horses, the speed is even more outrageous.
In this way, the army began to broadcast south.
…………
At this moment, the main force of the Jin army in the Hedong region had all moved south, some of them attacking Shaanxi to cut off the road of escape to the west, and some of them were directly attacking Taiyuan. The Jin army stationed in Hedong was mostly the Xiren army, the Khitan army, and the Han army that surrendered in Liaodi, and the combat effectiveness of these Jin troops was not strong in itself, and some were distributed in various areas of Hedong, just like pepper noodles scattered in a water tank, and had already been diluted.
In the land east of the river, the rebel army is everywhere, and the number of these rebel armies is uneven, and the quality is uneven, constantly disturbing the Jin army and greatly restraining the Jin army.
In this case, Zhao Pucai can lead the eight-character army and go south. Because the elite of the Jin Army is not there, these miscellaneous armies are too scattered, as long as he is cautious and does not fall into the Jedi, these miscellaneous armies of the Jin Army can't help him at all. Once the Jin Army's miscellaneous army attacks, with a small number and poor combat effectiveness, then eat it; If the Jin Army's miscellaneous army is strong and has many troops, then dodge.
In short, the eight-character army is already invincible.
And on the way south, such a huge momentum was created in order to attract the Hedong rebels.
The composition of the rebel army in Hedong is complex, the leaders are also different, and the combat effectiveness is also uneven, they have all kinds of weaknesses, but one advantage cannot be erased, they are active in the rear of the Jin army, which seriously undermines the stability of the area occupied by the Jin army. As long as they exist for one day, the Jin army will be unstable in the east of the river for one day, and they can contain the Jin army to a great extent.
The eight-character army is going south, but the righteous army in Hedong can't ignore it, in short, it is necessary to maximize the use of resources.
Even if you are cannon fodder, you must be the most valuable cannon fodder.
…………
Zhao Pu was sitting on a horse, surrounded by guards, and at this time there was a news that the old people in the past were going to meet.
"That Lu Zhishen wants to see you, thank you for saving your life last time!"
"He's coming!" Zhao Pu nodded, "Got it!" ”
Soon, Lu Zhishen came to Zhao Pu's horse, bowed on the horse and saluted: "Meet Your Highness!" ”
"After a farewell, how is Lu Yishi?"
"Not good, very bad!" Lu Zhishen said sadly, "The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the east of the river is full of tigers and wolves!" ”
Zhao Pu nodded, noncommittal.
Lu Zhishen said: "Your Highness, people can't go without a head, and snakes can't go without a head." Now in the Bianliang crisis, there are many righteous people in Hedong since ancient times, and countless righteous soldiers have gathered into the 36th Route Righteous Army, a total of 300,000 people, who originally intended to serve the marshal as the leader of the alliance and rescue Bianliang ............"
Since that departure, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others have begun to think about the issue of "voting for the name". Later, under the guidance of a landed talent, I finally had a clue. If the name is not right, the word is not good, and the name is very important. They want to take refuge in this king of Yi, but they don't have a name, and they don't have a gift.
What is a gift?
Naturally, it is not money, nor beauties, nor war horses and equipment, etc., but the rebels from all walks of life have defected to accept the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yi.
So Lu Zhishen and others began to move one after another, constantly contacting the leaders of the rebel army who were familiar with each other, and decided to jointly serve Zhao Pu, His Royal Highness King Yi as the general leader of the rebel army. In the continuous activities, under the talent pyramid scheme of Lu Zhishen and others, there are more than 30 leaders of the rebel army, who are willing to accept the leadership of Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu nodded, a little satisfied, and finally touched the doorway.
At this moment, Zhao Pu finally has the temperament of the underworld Dongge, regardless of whether the strength of the 36th Route Righteous Army is strong or not, at least it has a relatively large impact, involving most of Hedong, and collecting these rebels, which means that half of the guerrillas in the Hedong region are under his command, no matter how effective these rebels are, at least it is no longer a lonely and single more than 10,000 people, but a guest army, like rootless water, extremely hard.
"I don't know, how many rebels are there?"
"Where are the rebels distributed?"
"How is the leader of the rebel army, and how is the battle?"
"And those rebels who are unwilling to accept the leadership of the imperial court?"
Zhao Pu began to ask about the strength of these rebels, and Lu Zhishen replied hesitantly, most of them were exaggerated, but the real strength was worrying. There were more than 500,000 of these rebel troops. More than half a million, this is not an imaginary number, but a real number.
It's just that the number of people is large, which does not mean that the combat effectiveness is strong, and there are too many old and weak women and children, and the real combat effectiveness is not very strong. It's okay to fight guerrillas, but if you fight hard, you only need 10,000 gold troops to easily sweep away more than 500,000 rebels.
"Hedong Duoyi, you have worked hard!" Zhao Pu said, "I am very willing to be the leader of this alliance, but I am going south, and I will not stay in Hedong for too long!" ”
"Lord Wang, the Licheng in front of you is exactly where the Thirty-six Route Righteous Army will join the Alliance, it is better for the Lord to stay later and send officials to the Alliance by the way." Lu Zhishen said.
"It's okay, our army is tired tonight, so it's time to rest there!" Zhao Pu looked at the sky and nodded.
