"Your Majesty, what do you think of this army?" On the way to Shuicheng, Fan Hao asked with a smile beside Liu Bang?

"Which army are you talking about? Does the country have an army? Have you ever seen an army march like this? Liu Bang complained three times in a row, and directly laughed at what Fan Xu said.

Liu Bang mainly had a ghostly expression on his face, and at this time he was leading his 9 soldiers to Shuicheng alone.

That's right, alone.

After the chief general gave the order to go to Shuicheng to assemble, the entire army dispersed in a hurry, and all the soldiers left the barracks directly, and except for Liu Bang himself, who restrained the nine people under his command to his side, none of the other officers interfered with his soldiers, allowing them to leave the barracks in chaos.

The confused Liu Bang asked Du Yue what the situation was, don't you want to march?

As a result, Du Yue looked at Liu Bang suspiciously again, and asked rhetorically, "What is a march." ”

Liu Bang tried hard to explain the concept of marching, and then Du Yue waved his hand and said, "Aren't you asking for trouble, 3,000 people are on the road at the same time, who can manage it, what about eating?" ”

"Of course, the soldiers go to Shuicheng by themselves, and they mainly appear in the barracks of Shuicheng before the specified time, otherwise they still plan to go with 3,000 people?"

Liu Bang is directly a Muggle, but when you think of the basic zero military history in this world, everything seems to be very reasonable.

And any real army general, after a long time of commanding the troops, will find that the most difficult thing is not how to fight, but how to move with a large number of soldiers.

Do you think that when the general gives an order, all the soldiers will spontaneously, line up in a neat pace, and follow the general all the way forward?

This is impossible, everyone in the army has their own ideas, some people are desperate for military achievements, and some people desperately want to slip away from the army.

Moreover, the physique of people is different, some soldiers can insist on marching for 12 hours without changing their faces, while some people walk for less than half an hour and the soles of their feet are blistered and they can't walk at all.

In addition, the rest and recuperation in the process of marching, the construction of camp tents, the arrangement of military rations, the channeling of soldiers' emotions, the implementation of various generals' orders, and all kinds of miscellaneous things, all of which need to be arranged in advance by the commanders.

The most noticeable thing is that you open any book on the art of war.

Note that this art of war can't be the miraculous "Thirty-six Strategies" that has been blown on the Internet, it may be beyond many people's expectations, "Thirty-six Strategies" is not the art of war at all, and it is not even a military work, but some literati in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, according to their own conjectures, combined with some famous military cases in ancient China, and then take some four-character idioms that look very dazzling, and put together a book that seems to be very bullish.

But if you really want to learn some military skills from this book, it is impossible, otherwise, with the classic degree of the cases in this book, the people of the whole country have basically heard the stories and can basically understand the meaning of the 36 strategies, then doesn't this mean that the people of the whole country can become military talents?

This is nonsense, the real official military-designated textbooks in ancient times are actually orthodox military arts such as "The Art of War", "Liutao", "The New Book of Ji Xiao", and "The Seven Books of the Martial Arts".

And if you really look at these warlords, you will find that they really teach you something like 36 tricks. The content of this kind of ploy may be less than 1/20 of the entire book, and many books do not have these things at all.

The whole book is actually to teach you how to set up camp, how to manage the army's food and grass, how to channel the soldiers' spirits, how to set military laws, how to command the army, etc., these real, basic things can no longer be basic.

It may sound boring, but it's the truth.

Many people like to play real-time strategy games, and when playing these games, just click the mouse box and then right-click in a certain position, which may not require a second of operation when added up, but in real battles, it is the hardest part.

Whether a general is qualified or not is judged not by how many enemies he has killed and how many tricks he has used, but whether he can successfully arrive at the predetermined position within the specified time with at least 60% of the troops.

A general who can do this is a qualified general.

It can also be seen from this that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not qualified generals at all, they can't even reach their destination on time with a team of hundreds of people, and they don't even have the most basic ability as generals, so it is naturally impossible to win.

And Liu Bang's situation is actually similar, after all, when he first led the troops to help the conscription, the whole team ran more than half of the people, and then had to run to Mangdang Mountain to be a bandit, Liu Bang did not have any ability to lead the army to fight at the beginning.

Liu Bang still remembers that when he led the army to attack Peixian for the first time, a team of thousands of people came down from Mangdang Mountain, which was originally planned to only take three days, but it took 10 days to arrive.

In the extra 10 days, all of them were spent solving all kinds of problems encountered in the course of the march, solving the problems of executing orders, and so on, Liu Bang did not sleep a whole night in the past 10 days, and spent two or three o'clock in the morning dealing with all kinds of contradictions in the army.

And by the time they arrived in Pei County, the team of thousands of people had already lost about 1,000 people, and the rest of the people were basically Pei County locals, who were supported by the obsession of going home, so they reluctantly followed Liu Bang all the way to Pei County, otherwise it would not be 1,000 people left, but only 1,000 people left.

This situation was not changed until Liu Bang conquered Pei County, and Xiao He and Cao participated in Liu Bang's army.

Cao Shen was a professional soldier after all, trained by the Qin Empire, and possessed at least some of the most basic military abilities, knowing how to plan and control the army.

So Cao Shen directly took away the command of the entire army at that time, and Liu Bang's army could barely be called an army in the next battle.

If there were no real military talents like Cao Shen to join, Liu Bang would have become a wild corpse on the side of the road.

This is also the reason why many peasant uprisings in ancient times failed, and these rebel armies only gathered together with their blood and bravely beat the local government by surprise at the beginning, so that they were able to take the city and gather hundreds of thousands of people, which seems to be very spectacular.

But they don't know how to fight at all, let alone lead troops, and a real regular army can directly defeat hundreds of thousands of people with a single charge.

It's like a group of guys who haven't even read elementary school, junior high school, and high school, and now you just let them develop nuclear weapons and build lithography machines, aren't they waiting for themselves to explode?

And now the army of the entire water province is basically a group of illiterate people preparing to build nuclear weapons.
