The enclave of O. Henry Dvokulan, called Ransen, is located just east of Miana, separated by a small grove of woods.

It's about five kilometers from the center of Schönbrunn Territory, which is not a long distance, and if you count the distance between the two borders, it is less than two kilometers.

It can be said that it is not very difficult to bring it into the Meiquan domain and rule effectively, and it is even possible to send someone to check the accounts once a day without riding a horse.

There was no big road in between, but there was no terrain to stop the traffic, just an ordinary small dirt road, a little curved, but not much detour, although it was a small road, but it was wide enough for his soldiers to march, which was reciprocated by the man sent by Luo Ming to explore the way.

According to calculations, if these soldiers under Luo Ming marched at a normal speed, they would be able to cover these five kilometers in no more than an hour, and they still retained a lot of physical strength, so they could directly enter the battle.

Half an hour is enough if you run and march quickly, and when you reach your destination, you only need to repair for a few minutes, and you can recover more than eighty percent of your combat effectiveness, and you can still hang and beat ordinary soldiers or something.

After all, the soldiers are fast, and Luo Ming doesn't have time to consume weeks or even months on the march. Unfortunately, he judged that it was unlikely that mechanized infantry would be produced for at least twenty years, and at most it would be mule and horse-like—that would have to make the soldiers train a pair of iron feet.

In this regard, he also spent a lot of thought, tying his legs, developing the habit of washing his feet, formulating the process of picking blisters, changing shoes and putting insoles in a unified manner, and preparing some high-purity alcohol for disinfection.

This is also the reason why he dared to say the slogan of the whole county - when he was crusading against his usurping cousins, he could clearly see the march of the knights' army in response to Charlotte's call, and Dungar also told him about the relevant requirements and actual situation in the Duchy's army.

All in all, the worst army can't queue up at all, sparse Lala is like a schoolboy's spring outing, you don't need to count on their speed at all, it's amazing to be able to walk ten kilometers in a whole day;

A medium army is able to form a queue, with a certain order and discipline, and can walk nearly three kilometers in an hour, and every hour or two must be trimmed, and can walk on the road for about six or seven hours, covering a distance of nearly twenty kilometers;

The superior armies relied on strict rewards and punishments, strict military discipline, and daily training to ensure that they could walk four kilometers per hour, trim every few hours, and march thirty kilometers in eight hours a day.

Luo Ming's soldiers, purely in terms of marching speed, can already be regarded as superior. If you go even further, walk five kilometers per hour and take a break every two or three hours, then you can walk nearly 40 kilometers a day.

If you are in a hurry, you can even increase the time devoted to the march while speeding up your pace, and you can even insist on walking fifty kilometers a day for several days in a row, and only the light cavalry who has abandoned their baggage can try to catch up.

Of course, if you play like this, you have to take a good rest afterwards to recover your combat effectiveness.

The entire county of Fanxi is more than 2,000 square kilometers in total, and if it is abstracted into a circle, then the diameter of this circle can only reach 50 kilometers.

And after removing the domain of the county guard Count Conle, the remaining domain of the minor nobles was only thirty kilometers away from the farthest family in his Schönbrunn domain.

Thirty km ...... This is completely within the scope of the effective control area, and it can even be said that the control level can be increased to a very high level.

This also made Luo Ming's county-wide Buwu plan simple and easy to implement-

The other party sent a messenger to ask for help in the morning, and Luo Ming could receive the letter at noon at the latest, spend an hour to prepare and then set off, lead the troops to march quickly, and arrive at the rescue in the evening, maybe they can also disperse the monster and then just in time for dinner.

======================================

After making all the preparations, the next day, Luo Ming led his soldiers and walked in the direction of Ranson.

In this procession, the soldiers wore paper armor and held spears, and in addition to the soldier queue, there was also a team responsible for transporting the baggage, a total of ten people, all trained by the militia, wearing uncolored paper armor to indicate their identity, and they could also go into battle to kill the enemy if necessary.

The baggage consisted of a mule cart carrying three days' worth of grain and cooking utensils, a mule cart loaded with two tiger cannons (with twenty spare spears by the way), and a "Misen-style mountain cannon" towed by two mules, as well as a mule carrying a lot of cloth and a few wooden poles that could be used to pitch a tent.

In addition to this, there was a small cart of gunpowder and a small cart of artillery shells loaded in a trolley, which were pushed by the militia.

Although the ox cart has a good load, the daily walking speed of the oxen is too slow, which will greatly slow down the march. Although there must be a big difference between horses and mules in terms of speed when they pull out and run, their ability to pull carts is about the same, but horses eat more, and they are relatively delicate and easy to get sick.

Bringing so many people to Lansen is to show his strength and reassure the residents of Lansen, and secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of marching training.

It is much better to find a problem on the road today, and at least nearly a month to correct it, than to find it in the face of war.

Now the snow and ice have not melted, and the ground is relatively hard, except for wading through more than ten centimeters of snow.

If you're marching in the muddies, you'll probably be fine - after all, paper armor weighs less than a thick piece of clothing.

But these burdens are troublesome, it is estimated that from time to time the wheels will fall into a mud puddle, and people have to drag them to come out, should you let the craftsman widen the wheel base?

However, in the muddies of the days, the monster's lair should have only just begun to break through the ground, and it will be a few days before the monster officially hatches......

Luo Ming thought so, and before he knew it, he had already seen the woods that divided the area of Miana and Lansen.

After rounding this small wood, you will see a plain - it can't be said to be a real plain, but it is relatively flat when the fields are covered with snow.

There, Ranson's managers were standing in the snow, welcoming Rollin.

Although it was sunny today, with no rain or snow, it was cool outside. The soldiers were hot during the march, and it was just cold if they had been standing still.

There was still a faint breeze blowing, and I accidentally got through the crack of my clothes, and then it was cold to the bone.
