Chapter Seventy-Seven: Visits

"Well, observing a war on the spot will definitely make a big difference, right?"

Zhou Lina asked.

She knew that Long Yunyou should have read the book of war.

After chatting with Long Yun, she decided that Long Yun had not been in contact with the army.

In fact, many things are far from theory and practice.

Just the project of rushing made Long Yun understand that this era is not the road of the 21st century.

Even the official roads are often in disrepair, and the cars and horses are sad.

Not to mention any sheep intestine trails.

It's fine for a hundred people to cross that kind of trail, but if it's a thousand people, the difficulty increases exponentially.

The speed is also extremely slow.

Climbing over the mountains and forests full of thorns and shrubs, horses and baggage can basically be discarded.

Such a team will either be defeated or plan to retreat within three days.

Either way, it's impossible for the barbarians, because you're prey, and you're more mobile and stealthy than your opponents.

In two or three days, you may not be able to climb a few mountains.

In just one observation of the battle, Long Yun understood something, and he must be intuitive about the war of this era.

"It's really different, it doesn't feel the same as I remember."

"Of course, what is in a book, a few strokes, how can you write about every aspect of a war. Moreover, readers often add all kinds of their own conjectures, and they will write fascinatingly and enthusiastically.

Who would have thought that real war would be cruel and boring. ”

"Well, I'm overestimating the quality of both the enemy and the enemy."

"Then you should stay in the barracks and talk to the soldiers to understand their real life and training."

Zhou Lina's persuasion, Long Yun did listen to it.

The first time he arrived to see the war, as the defenders of the city, they had wounded, but no one died.

However, the corpses of the enemies outside the city were not taken.

The low status of slaves can be imagined.

After the scouts confirmed that all the enemy had retreated, Zhou Lina arranged for people to bury the enemy's corpses.

Even if it's close to winter, it's still important to deal with it in time.

People are used to this kind of thing.

Because the plague is too powerful.

Not everyone has a strong epidemic prevention ability, and for first-class masters like Zhang Chaoqing, they can basically be said to be free from all diseases.

However, the more powerful generals in the barracks are only stable in the second-rate.

The soldiers at the bottom did not enter the stream at all.

The plague is still a nightmare disaster.

Even sometimes after the two sides have finished fighting, they will tacitly understand that Mingjin will withdraw his troops, and then collect the corpses of their own personnel.

It will make people feel absurd.

These are all things that Long Yun talked about when he cleaned up the city wall with the experienced soldiers at the bottom.

Long Yun pretended to be a recruit, and followed those soldiers to carry corpses, carry stones to the city wall, and other post-war work.

And only the people at the bottom will talk to you about this kind of thing.

Everyone else knows Long Yun's identity, and he naturally has a sense of distance, and some things are not easy to talk about.

On the contrary, people who don't know Long Yun's identity are more willing to talk about some experiences on the battlefield.

A week later, Long Yun had a thorough understanding of the Great Barbarian Army.

In this era, in fact, soldiers are not very diligent when training, training every three days, and they can also train to the death, and they still have to maintain their physical strength.

Respond to war that is coming at any time.

In peacetime, training is also held every three days, but non-wartime training is only more than half a day.

The reason is simple, it is to save food.

The food of this era cannot be eaten openly.

Once you get used to eating and drinking, you will get hungry easily, and you won't have too much food for you to eat.

The auxiliaries eat about one and a half meals a day.

Regular soldiers eat two meals.

It's just that you're able to keep you seven or eight points full.

Only elite soldiers can only eat meat every three days, that is, minced meat porridge.

Don't think that meat is a very common thing.

Nowadays, people feel that they are too greasy to eat, and they want to eat more vegetables and so on.

But in Daman, where Long Yun is located, in fact, many people may not be able to eat meat during the New Year.

That's luxury.

The productivity constraints of the times are too great.

The so-called elite are actually made up of surviving battlefield veterans.

They all know when to do something, they are not afraid of battle, they are not chaotic in the face of danger, and it would be better if they could still kill the enemy.

Yes, the army doesn't require you to kill enemies, it requires you to be able to follow the team.

There are many people who can't do this simple request.

Training is really training this.

It was unbearable to see Long Yun.

Because most of the people who joined the army were from poor families, they didn't know a single big character.

Sometimes I can't tell the difference between left and right, and I have night blindness.

What can you ask for for a soldier of this quality.

There are many who do not even speak the official language.

When I saw the chief, I was nervous and speechless.

On the battlefield, when they saw the enemy coming, they all closed their eyes for the first time, and their legs were trembling with fear.

Of course, training has an effect.

It is because of the ability to quickly adapt to the atmosphere of war.

If you can open your eyes and stand up straight, you are considered a qualified soldier.

This is the most common soldier in this era.

Although the estimate of the quality of the soldiers was very low, Long Yun could not have imagined that it would be so low.

Don't think that a soldier is stupid if he is uneducated.

Most of them have a kind of cunning, a sense of life-saving of peasants.

That's conformity.

It is especially easy to conform to the herd, and when the army escapes, they will be the first to spread their feet and run.

When the army advances, they will follow closely.

This is the only way to save your life.

Just want to count on the formation or something.

If there is a roar in the 100,000-strong army, it will really be a disaster.

For fear is contagious like a plague, and the plague is much more rapid.

If it really comes to the point of collapse, the individual will not be able to organize at all.

It is only possible to retract until the army has run out of the rout, and when the fear has almost dissipated.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to gather the rout troops on the battlefield and fight again.

The reason is that although the fear is gone, the morale is lost.

Don't think about tying them up with the righteousness of the country.

The people at the bottom don't eat you at all.

What the country is like doesn't really matter to them at all.

This reminded Long Yun of Jiang Wen's movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

In it, the protagonist wants to encourage the people to fight the bully Huang Shilang.

The silver was issued, and the guns were issued.

At the end of the day, they were still watching.

In the end, it was the protagonist who used a tanuki to change the prince and defeated Huang Shilang's prestige.

These people at the bottom saw hope and rushed to attack.

Long Yun thought that these people were a rabble, but Zhou Lina thought that these people were official soldiers.

This is the soldier of this era.

If you compare it to modern soldiers, it is really a rabble.

It's not that Long Yun is too demanding, but the world has changed.

The rabble waving flags and shouting is actually the mainstream of the army, can you believe it?

It is not difficult to imagine that in fact, the war is a competition between the elite.

If the elite wins, then it is very likely that the battle will be won.

More extremely, it is a one-man battle between generals.

This is also known as the fighting general.
