Section 1018 Pre-War Preparations (4) [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

"Your Majesty...... Bulletin in the clouds: Captain Cheng Buzhi of the left school of Hu Benwei has already led his troops to Xingle Sai! ”

Listening to the report, Liu Che smiled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know Cheng, but I'm still walking very fast!

In half a month, with a group of recruits, he completed a thousand-mile march.

Now, it's September.

There is still more than a month before the Battle of Gaoque is launched.

However, the Han army's preparations for the campaign had entered the final juncture.

All the participating troops are about to depart.

The Mo Dao soldiers took the first step, this was Liu Che's decision.

The reason is simple.

Compared with other armies, the Mo sword soldiers of the Han army needed more time to adapt to the cold temperatures in the north.

You must know that the temperature in the southeast of Hanjia and Huaisi at this time, even in winter, is estimated to be about the same as the temperature in spring in the north.

Many of them have never seen snow in their lives!

Don't give enough time to adapt and adjust.

Rushing to the battlefield, Liu Che was very worried that they would not be able to hold it.

In addition to the 3,000 Mo sword soldiers led by Cheng Buzhi, there are also 3,000 Mo sword soldiers, who will arrive at another attack launch point - Shaling.

The sand tomb is behind the left side of Cloudsdale.

This is a city built by Meng Tian in order to supply the defenders of the Yinshan defense line.

Out of Shaling is the Dahei River, a tributary of the Great River (Yellow River).

Crossing the Dahei River, after a trek of more than 200 miles, it is the flank of Ziling and the front of Shentuze.

"Have you already assembled the Hu Cavalry?" Liu Che asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhuhu Cavalry has arrived in Taiyuan and completed the assembly ......" A eunuch immediately held a book of music and handed it to Liu Che: "This is the Song of General Wei Zhidu!" ”

In this battle, of course, Liu Che will not let Yi Zong dominate again.

In fact, Liu never intended to put his eggs in one basket.

Even in the history of Emperor Wu's Dynasty, Wei Qinghuo went to the period when the twin stars shone and ruled.

Emperor Wu also continued to promote and appoint many generals.

Although these generals were proved afterwards, they were as small as fireflies in the light of Wei Qinghuo's illness.

Even, many of them are parallel imports.

However, the army can never rely on a certain person or a certain group.

Therefore, this time Liu Che pushed Zhi Du to the position of General Wei.

With the rank of general of the guard!

Liu Che never underestimated Zhidu's military talent!

This Han eagle dog, in fact, is the real place where it belongs, and it is the battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse!

This time, the Zhidu commanded a group of Hu cavalry and Han cavalry including Lou Fu, Changshui Hu cavalry and Xiongnu descendants.

The total strength was more than 20,000 horsemen.

Among them, there are more than 8,000 Han riders and more than 12,000 Hu riders.

Of course, among the Hu horses, in addition to the Changshui Hu horses, which have long become Liu's loyal dogs, there are about 2,000 horses, which are rationed according to the standard Han army equipment.

The other horsemen were all issued with weapons and bows and arrows.

Even, the Lou Fu cavalry still brought their own horses and weapons.

After all, the large-scale use of Hu Qi, the Han family has never had experience before, and it is natural to cross the river by feeling the stones.

In addition to the mixed army of Hu and Han commanded by Zhidu.

Yi Zong, in the name of the general of the chariot cavalry, will sit in Yunzhong City and command the main force of the Han army, including more than 20,000 cavalry, including cuirassiers.

Count the Han army in the direction of Cheng Buzhi and Shaling.

In this battle of Gaoque, the Han family will invest an unprecedented mixture of cavalry and foot, with a total of more than 60,000 combat forces.

It includes the main forces such as Yulinwei, Hubenwei, Xiliu Battalion, Thorn Gate Army and the Northern and Southern Armies.

The Flying Fox Army and the Juzhu Army, this time, will serve as a reserve, holding the Great Wall, while echoing other areas where there may be police.

Of course, this is also the reason why the current Han family is limited by its national strength.

The Han family, which can now support more than 60,000 troops, leaving the Great Wall, traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles, going deep into the grassland, and fighting against the Huns is already the limit.

If you want to move more troops out of the fortress.

Then Liu Che can only be his underwear......

This is also a helpless move that has no choice.

In the current situation, a soldier needs three civilians to meet his supply needs for the battle.

For 60,000 troops, at least 180,000 people are needed.

But in fact, the people also need other people to assist.

Repair and diversion of roads, transportation and stockpiling of supplies.

This requires additional manpower.

Therefore, in order to support the departure of more than 60,000 troops, the Han family has now made preparations for the requisition of 350,000 people.

In such a big war, the people + soldiers are more than 400,000 people who have lost their production and entered the war.

Every day, people just eat horses and eat, and the grains and meat consumed, as well as salt and vinegar sauces, add up enough to fill a city.

In fact, suppose the Han army could not take the fortress of Gaoque within a month.

Then Liu Che is estimated to be bankrupt.

And if you take Gaoque, you can't capture enough loot.

The finances of the Han family are about to face bankruptcy.

Fortunately, not long ago, Liu Che asked Xiuyiwei to steal the property of dozens of merchants who traded with the Huns.

Copying out about 40,000 worth of property and thousands of acres of land.

Barely enough, it can be regarded as some military spending.

In addition, Chen Huan also sent someone to send a large number of the wealth of Xu Fu's descendants to Chang'an.

Speaking of Xu Fu's descendants.

Liu Che couldn't help but complain.

"Xu Fu is really a smart person......" Liu Che shook his head.

Judging from the available information, Xu Fuya had already planned to go up and down the fleet before going to sea, find an overseas desert island, and claim the king.

He didn't even think about coming back......

It's just a pity that Qin Shi Huang is probably thinking about Xu Fu's elixir of immortality until he dies......

All I can say is......

Damn it!

However, this is cheap Liu Che.

Many of the gold vessels that Qin Shi Huang gave to Xu Fu and the gold that Xu Fu and his fleet descendants dug in neon are now surnamed Liu.

This windfall allowed Liu Che to mint a little more five-baht gold coins to reward the army.

"I have been preparing for half a year, exhausting everything, gambling on everything, this battle is really a victory and not a defeat!" Liu Che walked to the map and stared at the current map of Han and Hungary.

He knew very well that in this battle, the Han army had to win beautifully, and at the same time, it had to get enough loot.

In this way, he can ensure that the country's finances will not go bankrupt, and at the same time, let the world go on the track he has planned.

Otherwise......

Anyway, Liu Che didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if the Han army was defeated.

"It should be possible to win......" Liu Che thought to himself.

For this battle of Gaoque, the preparatory work and intelligence reconnaissance work of the Han army can be said to be perfect in this pre-AD era.

Even, Liu Che felt that it could be called the pre-AD Shi Liefen plan.

The only thing that can pose a threat to the Han army is probably the severe cold of the northern winter.

"I hope that after the campaign is launched, there will be no heavy snow...... Liu Che prayed in his heart.

Once the army strikes, in case it encounters a blizzard......

Then it can only be said that it is...... Disaster! (To be continued.) )
