336, old soldiers

There was a long quarrel in the court, but no result could be reached, and everyone was discussing whether to negotiate with the Turks. However, Li Jing was also making preparations, since he rested in Dingxiang for a period of time, and took time to meet with the old and young of the Sui Dynasty led by Empress Xiao, and properly appeased them. Li Jing began to go north with the army led by Jingwen to join forces with Li Ji. Li Jing took the east road this time, and the main army was there with Li Ji. And this time, Li Jing wants to go north to join forces with Li Ji and really take over the troops. In fact, Li Jing doesn't have many troops now, and his direct subordinates don't even have 10,000 people, at most four or five thousand. This is also the reason why Li Jing consults with Jingwen every time, because Li Jing is currently leaving Jingwen's 40,000 Snow Shame Army, and it is really not easy to get things done. Li Jing is now going to join the division and take over the Eastern Route Army in the name of the commander-in-chief, so that there will be 70,000 or 80,000 men under his command.

And now the weather is very cold, snowy, and the sky has not stopped snowing. The soldiers had some snowflakes on them. And if it weren't for Jingwen's proposal to make zuò down jackets, I'm afraid someone would freeze to death. Although Jingwen didn't know how the Northern Expedition to the Turks in history solved the problem of fighting in winter. But Jingwen also knew that I was afraid that the soldiers at that time were definitely not happy, and they were definitely not as good as the soldiers in down jackets this time. And what paid for these down jackets, that is, the lives of tens of millions of birds, resulted in the misery of birds in many places.

"Damn, those birdmen of the Snow Shame Army are actually sitting in the car playing leaf play, and we are marching here in the cold and cold. They are all Datang troops, why is there such a big difference in treatment? Someone under Li Jing immediately complained.

Another guy also said, "yes! It's all the army of the Tang Dynasty, they can march by car, we all have to march on foot, this is fucking unfair! They called it a chic, comfortable and warm in the car. Heard. In these cars, there is also an anti-freeze charcoal fire, so there is no need to worry about frostbite. ”

Some people simply said with envy and hatred: "These are old soldiers, can they fight?" ”

The soldiers under Li Jing all expressed their dissatisfaction with these shameful troops under Jingwen. Because they are all soldiers of the same country, how can some people march by car, but some people can only march on foot. is still the same sentence, do not suffer from widowhood, suffer from unevenness. If you don't, then I'm afraid you won't have any opinions. But now some people do. Some people don't, not to mention that there is no gap between the two, then I'm afraid many people are not convinced. The gaps are all contrasted, and in the case of this comparison, it is natural for people to see a big gap, so many soldiers under Li Jing are not convinced.

However, what is exciting is that the Snow Shame Army is still complaining.

"Really, those infantry marches too slowly. Can't keep up with our car. We were in a carriage, and we marched as fast as the cavalry, but we could only slow down in order to take care of their infantry. Someone in the carriage complained.

And the other said, "Yes! And so on. When will we be able to seek revenge on the Turks? Perhaps, the fighters were all delayed by these people. ”

"What did you say?" Those soldiers under Li Jing's command immediately couldn't stand it.

"Let's just say you guys, marching so slowly!" The soldier inside the carriage said.

"Hmph, if we also have a carriage. It's no worse than you! Li Jing's soldier said.

Then, those Li Jing's soldiers immediately came to Li Jing and said, "General Li." We're going to take a car too! ”

"That's right! General Lee, we're going to take a car too! Why do those guys take the car, comfortable march, we have to take the car too! "General Li, you are our commander, why do you let these old soldiers be arrogant here? Will they be able to fight? "Yes! Can they fight? How can you have such a good treatment? ”

Li Jing frowned, obviously he didn't expect these soldiers to provoke such a thing during the march. In fact, Jing Wen's Xue Shame Army, Li Jing is actually a little jealous of this treatment. Soldiers can march in cars, which makes Li Jing worry about whether he will develop the habit of being lazy. However, Jingwen also said that marching by car can save the soldier's body, and he can use all his physical strength to fight. In addition, the marching speed is much faster, and one army can be used as several armies when necessary. This kind of thing is said to be justified by the public, and the mother is reasonable, and it is impossible to give a clear answer.

But Jingwen can know that motorized infantry can be said to be the future development trend. Although later in the new era, some people said that the marching ability of motorized infantry and mechanized infantry was not good, and their ability to march long distances was constantly decreasing. But Jingwen sprayed him in the face at that time, because his theory was completely a false proposition. Isn't it a paradox that the combat equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and if you don't use the advanced equipment, you can let the soldiers march on foot? In order to maintain the army's ability to march on foot, you can't let your army's rapid delivery ability be reduced! And once the army's rapid delivery capability is reduced, I am afraid that the country is in danger of splitting.

However, Jingwen's situation of letting soldiers ride in carriages made people in this era feel unfair. They thought that Jingwen's soldiers were all old soldiers and could not fight.

"You say we can't fight, then aren't we able to break through Dingxiang City?" Jingwen asked.

Someone immediately retorted, saying, "You got it with such good weapons, and if you didn't have those weapons, you wouldn't have been able to defeat them." Or if you give weapons to the Turks, the Turks will be able to defeat you easily! ”

Jing Wen had 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by in his heart, according to this soldier's theory, could it be that when he started a war with an enemy with advanced weapons, he still had to ask the enemy for their advanced weapons, and then fight fairly? Relying on advanced weapons, this is also a kind of military strength!

"Then what kind of army do you think is capable of fighting?" Jingwen asked.

"If you can defeat us, we will be able to convince you! We'll recognize you when you take the car! If you can't defeat us, we won't accept it, and then you will give us your car. The soldiers said.

After Jingwen heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, since you said so, let's have a tactical exchange between the two armies." (To be continued......)
