After talking to Ding Yuan for a while, Yun Ting got up and said goodbye. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, he walked out of the Taishou Mansion along the way in, if there was no Zhang Liao by his side, it would be difficult to enter the Taishou Mansion, and it would be difficult to come out.

He was in no hurry, for the time of departure had already been set, and it would be five days later. Because of the relationship between the mobilization of military supplies, it will take five days, otherwise 10,000 cavalry can be said to set off at any time if they want to. There weren't many things they were going to bring, and Yun Ting knew that for the cavalry, as long as they brought some dry food with them, they didn't need to carry anything except for the equipment on their bodies.

Excess things on the body, excess weight, will become weight. They are light cavalry, not heavy cavalry, and if they can be lightly armed, they must naturally be lightly armed, so as to give full play to the characteristics of light horses coming and going like the wind.

As for the dry food and water that people eat? What forage do horses need? You don't need to do anything, just a few that you can carry with you. Others, entering the enemy's territory, can be obtained under the iron heel. For the cavalry, this is the case, when the horses under their seats run around, whether in the enemy country or where, they are like fish in water, easy and elusive.

In the past five days, Yun Ting has been given more time to prepare. The 3,000 soldiers he brought with him have been trained by Gao Shun's hands for a few days, and there has been progress in these days, but it is impossible to say that the progress is rapid, and it can become a copy of the trap camp at once. It's impossible, even if you add an extra month or two, it's impossible. Gao Shun is very good at training, but he can't reach this realm, otherwise he won't do anything, just train stupidly, who else in the world is his opponent?

These 3,000 soldiers are shortcomings, and they are also one of the biggest flaws in entering Xianbei and crossing the grassland. If there is no cavalry escort, if it is coordinated, it is a sheep into the mouth of a tiger. In the era of cold weapons, the most powerful type of army is cavalry, the sharpest arrow, any army without cavalry can be called not an army.

In any confrontation of a large army, the most precautionary thing is undoubtedly the enemy's cavalry charging into formation, stepping on the camp, and cutting off grain and grass. These things are the best of the cavalry, and if a large army is charged by the cavalry and cuts through the formation, it is almost a flock of panicked sheep. Not to mention being trampled on the camp and the grain route being cut off, all of which indicate the threat of cavalry.

Not long after, Yun Ting and Zhang Liao had already arrived at the Bingzhou Quartermaster Department set up in Jinyang City. After the assassination the day before, there was the slightly old bed crossbow, and the quartermaster was also plowed over, clearing out a few people who were full of money. As for each of them swearing that he had not resold the bed crossbow, Zhang Liao didn't care, for these black sheep, the guys who made a fortune in the hinterland in the bloody battles of the soldiers in front, Zhang Liao was in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go.

"General Zhang!"

Watching Zhang Liao step into the military demand department, many officials and officials inside stood up one after another, quite welcoming the inspection of the superior leaders. It is also impossible for them not to be nervous, for fear that Zhang Liao will come to the quartermaster department again now to continue to arrest people.

"It's fine. I was ordered by Ding Envoy Jun to bring Captain Huqiang to get the promised supplies. Zhang Liao said, taking out a military order stamped with the Great Seal of the Thorn History.

When his words fell, he could hear the voice of relief in the office of the quartermaster department, it was better not to arrest people. At this time, the head of the quartermaster office stood up, respectfully took the military order, glanced at it a few times, and showed a clear look.

"Please give instructions to the general, so that I can send someone to allocate armaments and materials."

When Zhang Liao heard this, he just shook his head slightly, and moved his inquiring gaze to Yunting. Only then did the chief notice Yun Ting, and secretly thought that he was afraid that this young man was the main one this time, so he bowed his hand respectfully to Yun Ting and asked.

"What do you command, general?"

"I want six thousand spears, and if I don't have one, three thousand spears." Yun Ting said.

This was something he had thought about on the way to the cavalry, and for the cavalry, the only weapons that the infantry could use to fight back were spears or spears, and only these two long soldiers could inflict damage on the cavalry when they charged. And why do you want a spear in the first place, then you have to talk about the difference between a spear and a spear.

The spear is used in one way, that is, the thrust, and the spear is the same, but compared to the former, the weight of the spear is heavier, and the spear will change more. It's just that in the Three Kingdoms, the spear of this period has not yet appeared with the later ash as a pole, so it is the same as the spear with a hardwood as a pole, and there is no elasticity of ash.

That's why Yun Thunder asked for 6,000 spears, which meant that each soldier had to carry two spears, which could be replaced when they broke. And the spear is more versatile and longer. An inch long, an inch short, in the battle with the cavalry, the more long the weapon in your hand can be, it can almost make the difference between life and death! In addition, the spear can be thrown when necessary and used as a spear! That's how broad he is.

The head of the quartermaster department was stunned, he didn't understand what Yun Ting wanted six thousand spears for, obviously talking about the advantages and disadvantages of spears and spears, many people would choose spears. But he was secretly happy in his heart at the moment, because the spear production process is much more troublesome than the spear, and in three words, it is more expensive! Without hesitation, he replied, "Yes." When the general wants it, he can have someone pick it up. ”

"No, you can get it now." Zhang Liao said lightly, he turned around and gave an order to the soldiers who followed him, "Go and turn the heavy camp over." ”

"Also, I want three thousand pairs of light armor, helmets, and military boots. and three thousand logs. Yun Ting then reported what he wanted one by one. It sounds like a lion opening his mouth, but it's not.

All he asked for was based on what his 3,000 soldiers could carry, and he didn't ask for much. He hadn't even asked for a bow and arrow, which was equivalent to giving up the possibility of long-range attacks, and he didn't ask for any equipment or anything like that. It can be said that he is helping Ding Yuan save money.

Yun Ting is not a money-saver, this time it can also be said that he has a big change of clothes, if it is not for the grassland to be traversed this time, he will open his mouth. But it was the Xianbei cavalry on the grassland that was about to be faced, and the extra things were useless, and they were still dragged down. You don't need a bow or arrow! They only needed to defend, and if the Xianbei cavalry dared to charge, they would use their spears to keep them out of the circle.

Yes, they just need to defend and protect themselves. This may seem insulting and frustrating, but it is. On the grassland, the encounter and battle with the Xianbei cavalry, the infantry is completely useless, it can be regarded as a drag, at most it can only assist the 10,000 cavalry troops of the state.

Finally, all the allowable loads are filled, which is grain and grass. Yun Ting has watched Gao Shun's training in the past few days, and what he has exercised is the physical fitness of the soldiers, that is to say, the weight of the soldiers under him has increased. So this time, they can only act as the people of the cavalry army, carrying more grain and grass for them.

Sure enough, there is still a long way to go.
