Chapter VIII The Conquest of Korea 2

readx;?? For this expedition to Korea, General Zuo's Mansion under Zhang Jiashi adopted a segmented transportation method to maintain logistical needs. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info copy URL access [on the top than ^^ odd ^^ in ^^ text ^^ net]

After all, the army on the northern route, the logistics of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, can only be maintained by land.

In the face of the poor road conditions in North Korea, Zhang Jiashi could only arrange Li Zuoche to coordinate this aspect of the matter.

At the exit of the Great Wall at the border of the Great Wall of Korea, which can be regarded as the easternmost section of the Great Wall in history, Li Zuoche arranged the corresponding people and animal vehicles, and built a facility that could be regarded as a transit station for a period of time before the army.

As for the various logistical materials transferred here from other parts of Liaodong County, Zhang Jiashi adopted tricycle troops as the main mode of transportation.

If there are other future generations of traversers who see the popularity of tricycles in this world, it is estimated that they will think that Zhang Jiashi is obviously also a compatriot of traversal.

This is a fact that Zhang Jiashi cannot deny.

As for why it's a tricycle? It's very simple, after all, with the current technology, the tricycle produced does have quite a lot of problems, and it is quite uncomfortable. But from many perspectives, there are so many manpower and material resources under Zhang Jiashi's command, and the corresponding horses, cattle and sheep are also the same.

Zhang Jiashi, who had to close his contact with the outside world and only sought self-protection for the time being, could only adopt various ways in many ways to increase the resources on his hand in disguise.

And now that spring ploughing has begun, a large number of horses or cattle have become one of the main forces of spring ploughing. In this case, General Zuo's Mansion, which has not completely replenished the consumption of its own military horses, can only rely on this semi-automatic transportation method that does have corresponding problems in addition to itself to solve the transfer of various military supplies.

In addition, the tricycle has been popularized in the Liaodong section of the Northern Xinjiang Road, if it were not for the manpower, weather, financial and other factors, so that Zhang Jiashi could not effectively build more road networks, otherwise, it would not be too much of a problem to transform such a tricycle into a dual-use vehicle.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Many of the Qin troops who went out were equipped with some tools created by Zhang Jiashi and the Liaodong soldiers, such as small shovels, pickaxes and other things.

Zhang Jiashi and Bai Qi know very well that although the current agricultural tools have been used for thousands of years, in many cases, such tools are not even comparable to things like hoes in later generations.

In the winter, after many exchanges with the farmers outside Dingxiang City, Zhang Jiashi finally had to give up a year's land rent to let these stubborn farmers try to use the new farming tools that Zhang Jiashi ordered ordinary blacksmiths to create.

Zhang Jiashi doesn't understand why people are so stubborn now. Even if they hadn't seen it before, and the fact that they had used something like a hoe didn't mean that this thing and some other farming tools didn't have the possibility of replacing the current farming tools.

It is much easier to promote the corresponding tools in the military. After all, in the regular army of Great Qin, many people can understand what it means to obey orders.

A large number of shovels, pickaxes and other tools were quickly loaded into the hands of the corresponding personnel.

If it weren't for the fact that many soldiers were already carrying the load of combat because they were wearing iron armor, Zhang Jiashi would not mind designing a marching backpack for later generations to solve the transportation pressure of logistics materials.

In many senses, the marching backpacks of later generations solved some of the pressures of many people, but coupled with the weight of about dozens of catties, Zhang Jiashi did not think that such an arrangement was conducive to the combat of officers and soldiers. In addition, wearing armor also means that many things that should have been designed cannot be effectively equipped.

It's like a bag of dry food or a padlock for a tool......

Well, Zhang Jiashi had to interrupt his thoughts, if he continued to think about it, maybe he would think of something that made him have a god.

For example...... Let the soldiers all turn into Saint Seiya, carry a multi-purpose equipment case on their backs, and fight everywhere......

No kidding. Zhang Jiashi could think that if he really did this, it was estimated that he would definitely be despised by Chen Ping and others with infinite eyes.

Well, although, Zhang Jiashi can 100% guarantee that it is impossible for people nowadays to know what Saint Seiya is.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jiashi only equipped some auxiliary tools in the end, and did not plan to change the current mainstream equipment.

Perhaps, all this will become possible after the advent of the age of firearms. After all, the era of firearms in the mature period is a completely different combat concept from the era of cold weapons.

When armor was a thing of the past, soldiers at that time were able to effectively convert the load of armor into a more versatile auxiliary tool.

However, Zhang Jiashi is very clear that this idea cannot be implemented in the military, but it does not mean that other places cannot conduct tests.

Zhang Jiashi set his eyes on the armed men of Momen.

......

After asking the corresponding personnel of Liaodong Military Manufacturing to make a batch of backpacks made of twine with improved processing technology and strengthened toughness, Zhang Jiashi asked Mohong to send corresponding personnel to test.

However, when Mo Yan'er appeared in front of him with more than a dozen young female swordsmen of the Mo family, Zhang Jiashi was slightly stunned. He didn't know why these people were the ones who came to test.

After Mo Yan'er saw Zhang Jiashi looking at her with puzzled eyes, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiashi with a slight annoyance, and said, "General Zuo, are you so unwilling to see Miss Ben?"

After hearing Mo Yan'er's words, these young female swordsmen of the Mo family couldn't help but chirp and communicate with each other. Some girls looked at Zhang Jiashi with a slightly red face, because they didn't expect that as the current actual controller of Liaodong, Zhang Jiashi, the left general, would be so young, more like a handsome big brother than them.

Mo Yan'er turned her head angrily, and after glancing at the female swordsmen who said that they were her disciples, but were more like her sisters, she heard Zhang Jiashi hurriedly say, "Miss Mo, what are you talking about? Of course, General Ben didn't think so. ”

"Hmph!" Mo Yan'er turned her head and gave Zhang Jiashi a roll of the eyes angrily before she remembered the matter: "General Zuo summoned me to wait this time, I don't know what happened?"

Zhang Jiashi only remembered at this time that he really had something serious to do to find these girls.

So, where Zhang Jiashi's finger pointed, Mo Yan'er saw nearly twenty backpacks lying quietly in a box.

"Miss Mo, this time General Ben wants to know, do these things have any effect on you?" Zhang Jiashi's tone did not hide a certain ...... Assertive.

......

Reality told Zhang Jiashi a common truth in ancient and modern times, that is:

Reasonable self-trust, that is called self-confidence, unrealistic self-trust, that is called arrogance.

After Mo Yan'er personally tested these multi-functional linen rucksacks according to Zhang Jiashi's explanation and personal demonstration, Zhang Jiashi knew that he really took some things for granted......

Under Mo Yan'er's "poisonous tongue" criticism, a multifunctional backpack like Zhang Jiashi was considered to be something that had no effect on the Momen swordsmen.

First: It's too conspicuous, and it's impossible to do a lot of things with this thing on your back. It's like a lot of swordsmen who are now hired by General Zuo's Mansion and want to do some special tasks, as long as they are not blind and idiots, they can see what this thing represents.

Second: it is of little practical use. Well, for the Mo family swordsman who basically doesn't even take a change of clothes out of the house, a rucksack like this that can basically stuff a lot of things is really unnecessary.

Third: inconvenience. After stuffing things into the backpack according to Zhang Jiashi's instructions, although the weight of dozens of catties can be endured by even an ordinary woman, it is impossible for many Mo family swordsmen to be able to exert their strength under this load.

Fourth: It's too hot. Even in this kind of weather, once she had this kind of thing on her back, Mo Yan'er could feel the uncomfortable feeling coming from her back.

Under these four premises, Mo Yan'er ignored Zhang Jiashi, whose face was getting worse and worse, and said a summary: "General Zuo, this thing is obviously not used by our people. You better let them work for those who need them more. ”

Regarding Mo Yan'er's evaluation, Zhang Jiashi's face was slightly bitter......

However, after he asked people to take these things away, and then left with a disappointed face, Mo Yan'er looked at Zhang Jiashi's background and couldn't help but chuckle.

And after several female swordsmen saw this scene, they couldn't help but whisper curiously about what to communicate......

................................................ Dividing line ......................................................

These things are just part of what Zhang Jiashi thinks he can do.

Among the Qin troops who went to Korea, many officers and soldiers were equipped with an extra pickaxe or shovel. Of course, out of consideration for operational flexibility, the Qin officers and soldiers equipped with long weapons used shovels or pickaxes instead of their own weapons, while shield soldiers equipped with shields nailed their pickaxes or shovels to the outside of their shields with leather strips or linen straps.

This is Zhang Jiashi's attempt to install these tools for all employees.

In terms of combat, the pickaxe may be able to replace the short-handled or short-handled axe that has long been abandoned by Zhang Jiashi, but in many cases, the shovel produced by imitating the sapper shovel has no way to fight the enemy's short weapon.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi still decided to make the next plan from the actual results obtained from this war.

Of course, the combat effect of these two tools may not be very good, but the effect is still quite good when used for fortification construction or camp construction.

After arriving at the periphery of the small city that had been controlled, and ordering the troops to build a temporary camp on the spot, perhaps most of the Qin officers and soldiers joined the construction, or perhaps because these two tools were indeed quite handy, many scattered troops quickly built a large and small camp around this small city.

According to the ideas of Jian and Li Zuoche, this city closest to Liaodong County, although the defense ability is really not very good, the city wall is short, and the defense strength is also very low, after all, it is made of some stones, but the main body is still a city wall made of mud, and the defense effect really can't make the two people who are used to seeing the masonry city wall and basically not be so short, have too much expectations.

Use this place as a fulcrum to carry out the next battle plan, and the main thing is that this place is close to Liaodong County.

In the night of the same day, the three lieutenants who accompanied the expedition were summoned, and some middle-level Qin army officers, such as two or five hundred lords, were summoned to discuss the next move.

After the corresponding personnel arrived, they saw that Li Zuoche, the military advisor, was also thinking about something.

......

As one of the first people to follow Zhang Jiashi, Wang Ling and Ruan Weng Shao did not have the idea of underestimating Li Zuoche, a seemingly polite person. This may be because of the influence of Chen Ping and Xiao He, or maybe it is the feeling that Li Zuoche inadvertently gave them.

In short, Wang Ling and Ruan Weng Shao thought that Li Zuoche could be met by Xiao He by chance, and then quickly became a civil official in the group of General Zuo's Mansion, second only to Chen Ping and Xiao He, and must have some strength that they don't quite understand.

And in the days of working with Chen Ping, perhaps, they can also have some relaxed and friendly exchanges with each other in terms of personal relations. But in terms of official affairs, Chen Ping, who basically dominated many affairs of General Zuo's Mansion, acted in many ways completely impersonal.

This matter also made them have to give up the idea of occasionally relaxing some requirements.

Of course, for many reasons, Wang Ling has a very direct opinion among those who have talked deeply with Li Zuoche, that is, Li Zuoche is the kind of strategist who is better at taking advantage of his advantages and killing the enemy with one blow.

In fact, Wang Ling's views are also very close to Li Zuoche's style of acting. After all, if Li Zuoche's corresponding combat strategy to Han Xin in history is concerned, if Chen Yu, a fool, listened to Li Zuoche's advice and cut off the other side of the Taihang Pass with a light horse, so that Han Xin's lightly armed troops would be cut off from food and grass, perhaps, Han Xin, the famous "soldier immortal" through the ages, might really have to be driven into that river, and communicate with the water god about the reasons why the battle of the back water was not successful.

It can be said that Li Zuoche is a strategist who is good at taking advantage of various advantages, gaining the initiative in battle, and has a high probability of winning.

In Bai Qi's words, it means that Li Zuoche is the kind of strategist who is not cautious, but will never take rash risks.

And Zhang Jiashi thought of a very interesting thing, that is, if Han Xin and Li Zuoche can really fight, who will win and who will lose?

Bai Qi was silent for a long time, and then said three more likely situations:

"If the time and place of the two sides are equal, and the two sides attack, Han Xin has an absolute advantage. If Han Xin attacked, Li Zuoche defended, and Li Zuoche was invincible. If Li Zuoche attacks and Han Xin defends, there will be no place for Han Xin to die. ”

After Zhang Jiashi heard Bai Qi's explanation, he was stunned for a moment, because he didn't expect that Bai Qi would have such a high evaluation of Li Zuoche.

Bai Qi didn't say anything in detail, but said something that made Zhang Jiashi think deeply: "The art of war has clouds, with the right fit, with odd wins, in fact, it is not exactly like this, like Li Zuoche, who knows how to give full play to his advantages, maybe the command on the battlefield is far from Han Xin, but the victory or defeat of the war often requires just an opportunity." In this ability to capture fighters, Han Xin is far inferior to Li Zuoche. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jiashi thought deeply about some things.

......

After everyone arrived, Li Zuoche compared the map on a blackboard and drew a relatively simple map.

Li Zuoche likes this kind of thing called blackboard very much, because the tactical arrangement on this thing only needs to be wiped lightly with a damp cloth, and he doesn't have to worry too much about being discovered by the enemy's meticulous work.

Of course, not only Li Zuoche, but also the entire General Zuo Mansion expressed great enthusiasm for this kind of blackboard.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi did not think about further making a relatively accurate sand table in terms of scale, but first, there is no suitable raw material, and second, the corresponding talents are scarce, and even the relatively high precision measuring equipment is still developing slowly, making such a thing as a sand table is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

It's like the kind of cow who travels to ancient times and can make a sand table casually......

Well, Zhang Jiashi looked at the clay on his hand, as well as the completely different comparison trial products, directly facing the sun, and stretched out a middle finger......

Of course, only a very few people know some clues about this matter.

In this meeting, Li Zuoche had many discussions with Jian and others, and decided to slow down his actions.

Li Zuoche and others are not unaware of the importance of the speed of soldiers, and there are two main reasons for adopting this step-by-step combat method.

On the one hand, under these circumstances, the strategy of acquiring a bridgehead in the territory of Minzi Korea has been achieved, and the task of raiding the defensive zone between the two forces has been well accomplished. In this case, continuing to rush on the onslaught will only make what follows uncontrollable.

On the other hand, they have not yet received information from the landing force to the south. According to the operational arrangements made before the troops were dispatched, once the troops in the north had completed their strategic objectives, the outcome of the next move of the troops landing in the south would be the outcome of the actions of the two forces, and the key to the success or failure of the plan to attack the DPRK in this attack on Mizi.

Therefore, in this case, Li Zuoche ordered Li Cang to lead the prisoner army to replace Nguyen Weng Thieu as the vanguard army advancing southward, while Nguyen Weng Thieu and Wang Ling were expanding the effective control area to the east and southwest.

This is the next action plan that Li Zuoche thought about.

Of course, the order that Li Zuoche and the two of them gave to Li Cang and the prisoner army was that under some special circumstances, Li Cang and the prisoner army could take expedient actions to deal with the emergence of special circumstances.

The officers of the Qin Army who were in the camp couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring after hearing this order......

Because to put it bluntly, even in some cases, Li Cang can not worry about military discipline......
