Chapter 317: The War of Wealth
Li Ju and Huan Xuan received Liu Tai's order, and immediately began to go through the procedure, first getting their own tiger talismans, and then dispatching their own soldiers.
The military history of the army looked at Li Ju and Huan Xuan's somewhat rusty appearance, and said: "The general and deputy general Huan are not familiar with the military affairs procedures of our army, so you can go through the process with a certain one!" ”
Li Ju and Huan Xuan glanced at each other, and Li Ju said, "Thank you, I don't know what to call it?" ”
He joined the army envoy and said, "It's good for the general to call me why I joined the army, I am a military historian, and I do not participate in the command and operation of the army, but the daily management of the army, the psychological counseling of the soldiers, and the recording of the beginning and end of the war, I will record it with paper and pen in my hand." ”
"Can military history belong to the army?" Li Ju couldn't help but ask when he heard He joining's words.
"Military history is controlled by General Shan's order, but the military history of each army is not allowed to rush to the front line, and if the military history dies in the war, the whole army will be punished, if the army has an irreparable situation, the military regulations allow the military history to escape by itself, but the military history record must be brought out, otherwise it will be regarded as a deserter." He joined the army and said to Li Ju.
Li Ju and Huan Xuan glanced at each other, because they were surrendered troops, and it was not clear why Liu Tai would set up such a system.
At least in their opinion, the most important thing in the army is to prohibit it, especially when it comes to the final fight, what if the military history escapes and affects the overall morale of the army!
But in the final analysis, they are just surrendering troops, and when they come to the system of Liu Tai's army, they have always been the only ones who adapt to Liu Tai's army.
At this time, Liu Tai entrusted them with the task of attacking Luoyang, so they naturally had to complete the task as well as possible, so that they could have the capital to gain a foothold in Liu Tai, in this case, they naturally wanted to be as good as possible with everyone.
"The king asked us to dispatch 10,000 troops to subdue Luoyang, I don't know where to get the grain and grass needed to attack Luoyang!?" Li Ju asked He joined the army in front of him.
"Attack Luoyang?!" When He Shenjun heard this, he looked at Li Ju with some surprise, and then said:
"I don't know if the general has planned the offensive road, generally the soldiers are only responsible for the war, so they will carry the corresponding grain and grass with them, and the follow-up food and grass and material replenishment need to be assisted by the government soldiers and conscription, otherwise it will drag down the combat effectiveness of the soldiers!"
"I know!" When Li Ju heard He joining's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said,
"Recruit farmers and county soldiers to dispatch grain and grass, we are ready to take advantage of the fact that the ice of the Yellow River has not yet melted, and we plan to set off from Yecheng, enter Xingyang, pass through the tiger prison, and enter Luoyang, and we must take down Luoyang!"
"If that's the case, I'll immediately go and dispatch military rations and equipment from the armament depot according to the general's orders, and ask the general to wait slowly!" He Senjun heard Li Ju's words and said, "When are we leaving?" ”
"The sooner the better!" Li Ju said decisively.
When He Senjun heard this, he nodded to Li Ju, "Please rest assured general, this is a military order, when our army's standard equipment is fully equipped as soon as possible, these materials will be transported to the barracks and distributed to the soldiers in the absence of today, and they will definitely be able to go on the expedition tomorrow." ”
After He joined the army, he asked Li Ju for a letter from Li Ju and Liu Tai's instructions to dispatch troops, and he prepared to go to the treasury to dispatch supplies.
Although He joined the army and swore an oath, Li Ju and Huan Xuan were more or less skeptical.
Is the execution efficiency of Liu Tai's army so high?
Liu Tai's order to himself and others was given in the morning, and as a result, the supplies were prepared in the afternoon, and then he could go on the expedition tomorrow?
That's a little too fast, isn't it?!
Is this the gap between the Han army and the Jin court army?!
Li Ju and Huan Xuan didn't know the answer, but Li Ju asked Huan Xuan to stay and inform the soldiers of the order to go on the expedition, and as for himself, he brought enough soldiers and followed He to join the army and start the procedure.
Seeing that He joined the army first came to the servant, he asked for the horses and carriages through the documents, and these carriages were directly exercised to the arsenal, and they were asked for armor and equipment.
Again, the armor of the soldiers is controlled equipment, and under normal training conditions, it is impossible to give it to the soldiers.
As for the weapons used by the soldiers for training in ordinary times, most of them were made of wood or stone, at most they were covered with a circle of cloth, so as to reduce unnecessary damage in war as much as possible.
And even so, Liu Tai's army has a loss of places, and this kind of training method trains endurance and will, as well as skillful skills at most, but if you really want to face life and death, you still have to break through on the battlefield.
But no matter what, Li Ju was surprised when he looked at the number of weapons and equipment that He Senjun had taken out of the arsenal, and Li Ju couldn't help but count,
"Fish scale armor, spear, wolf sword, Han knife (Tang knife), rhubarb bow, triangular pyramid, multi-purpose saber ......"
Starting from the triangular pyramid, Li Ju didn't know these equipment.
"The combination of spears and wolf lances is specially used to deal with enemy infantry, using the distance advantage to suppress the opponent, especially in the northwest, I heard that there are rich sharps, so I just use this distance to suppress.
However, the effect on the cavalry is average, and if you really encounter the cavalry, you can only fight hard. ”
"The triangular pyramid is mainly used for piercing, and only when the decisive battle will be chosen to let the soldiers open the front, it is specially used by the soldiers to deal with those captains or soldiers who wear heavy armor, and it is enough for the general soldiers to insert three on one foot."
"The multi-functional saber, in addition to being used as the last dagger, can also be used in the daily actions of many soldiers in ordinary times, and sometimes it can even be used as a maintenance tool or a meal in the army in an emergency."
……
Li Ju couldn't help but sigh: "We are really rich when we fight!" ”
"It wasn't so rich before, but after we took Youzhou, we gradually became rich!" He joined the army and said, "By the way, General, how many arrows do we need?" ”
Li Ju heard He joins the army, and calculated his 10,000 soldiers, according to the calculation that half of the archers, each person needs at least one pot of arrows, and at least 150,000 arrows are needed, so Li Ju cautiously stretched out two fingers.
He Senjun nodded, and then said to the soldier who delivered the supplies, "We want the amount of two warehouses!" ”
"How many arrows are there in a warehouse?" Li Ju heard He joining's words, and suddenly asked.
He Senjun said: "It's about one million, and there should be two million arrows in the two warehouses!" ”
"That's what these two million arrows were given to us?" Li Ju couldn't help but be stunned when he heard He joins the army's words.
"The general is a newcomer to the Han Dynasty, so I don't know if the arrows on our Han side are not valuable, every winter when the people are at home, if they want to earn some money and food, the best job is to assemble the arrows, basically every village can hand over hundreds of thousands of arrows in a winter.
Of course, most of the feathers of these arrows are made of ducks, which are relatively rough to make. ”
When Li Ju heard this, he had a feeling that he couldn't speak, although the arrows made from ducks were indeed a little worse.
At least the arrow is metal, this pole is wooden, the feathers are almost enough, and the real battlefield is only a dozen meters away.
But there is no difference between arrows and arrows, and they really shoot each other passionately on the battlefield, and they can crush each other by numbers.
Li Ju quickly came back to his senses and couldn't help but say, "Two million arrows, how should we transport them?" ”
"Don't we have a horse, two million arrows, only sixty-seven thousand, for a horse, this is not a lot of weight!" He joined the army and said to Li Ju.
"These horses are for our expedition to Luoyang, and we don't need to return them to Taifu Temple after carrying the supplies?" Li Ju was puzzled.
"The general's words are fresh, we haven't finished the war, how can these horses be returned." He Senjun said,
"We have Youzhou in Dahan, and the horse farm in the state, the war horse is not easy to cultivate, although there are more and more, but this year's output is only worth more than 10,000.
But livestock such as horses, donkeys and mules are different, and the imperial court has an output of more than 100,000 every year, all of which are eliminated in the process of selecting war horses.
Then the temple will keep about 250,000 horses every year, and the rest will be put into the people.
Therefore, every soldier of our army has a livestock to assist the soldiers in carrying supplies so that the soldiers can maintain their combat effectiveness. ”
"No wonder our Han army is invincible, and it can be fearless in the face of any danger!"
Li Ju had a clear understanding of Liu Tai's army, and he fought with Liu Tai, and he always felt that Liu Tai's army was not tired.
Nonsense! With such a logistical configuration, how can it be fatigued.
"What special requirements does the general have?" He joined the army and couldn't help but say to Li Ju.
"What can I ask for?" Li Ju heard He joins the army's words, and he was full of confusion at this time.
"Aren't we going to siege the city, don't we need siege weapons?" He Senjun looked at Li Ju with some doubts.
"Siege weapons can also be carried?" Li Ju felt incredible about the logistical capabilities of Liu Tai's army.
"Siege weapons naturally can't be brought, but it can still be done by disassembling siege weapons into parts one by one, and then from the logistics belt, after all, this kind of thing, our Han has not just experienced it once!" He joined the military road,
"In the words of the king, the war is not just the war of the soldiers at the front, but the war of the entire Han Dynasty, so the things that can be solved in the rear are solved as much as possible in the rear, so that the front-line generals just need to focus on fighting!"
"Good and good, good ......" Li Ju listened to He joining's words, and instantly had a clearer understanding of the so-called "major affairs of the country of soldiers" that he had always known.
It's just that Li Ju turned his head and began to think about it, when he was messing with Jin Ting, he had to find a way to get food, and he had to find a way to get equipment, and he was responsible for everything.
It's like now, even siege weapons can be built in the rear, disassembled into parts, and then sent to the front line with logistics.
In an instant, Li Ju had a feeling of tears in his eyes, he had suffered for so long, when had he fought such a rich battle!
Even in my own dreams, I don't dare to dream like this!
And He joined the army with the smooth dispatch of armor and weapons from the arsenal, and then went to the material department to dispatch grain and grass.
He Shenjun said to Li Ju, "Our military rations are divided into two kinds, one is normal marching military rations, and the other is combat rations. ”
"What's the difference between the two?" Li Ju heard He joining's words, but he was a little curious.
"The normal marching rations depend on where they are.
If we are based in our own territory, the surrounding counties can generally afford pasta, pickles, and if we are lucky, we can eat seasonal vegetables and meat.
If you go out to march, you should calculate the speed of the march, bring enough naan cakes, meat strips, dried fish, meatballs, pickles, tofu, etc., although it is rough, but it is also a normal meal.
If you're lucky, you might be able to get some canned fruit, but it's rare, and I've eaten it twice. ”
Li Ju couldn't understand the wealth of the Han at this time, did they really go to the march to fight?
It's good to be able to have a naan to gnaw on when you are fighting, and even for many displaced people south of the Yellow River, the most important reason why they join the army is that they can only survive by joining the army in this world.
But aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven if your Han army eats like this?!
Li Ju was full of desire to complain at the moment, but he still held back his thoughts and asked, "What about the combat rations?" ”
"It's simple, it's fried noodles, tea, and all kinds of jerky, which can probably guarantee half a month's combat time.
Eating fried noodles alone, it is easy to get angry after eating for a long time, which affects the combat power of the soldiers, and in order to quickly replenish the physical strength of the soldiers, it is also equipped with jerky.
By the way, General, do you like beef jerky, chicken jerky, fish jerky, or pork jerky, originally this year's mutton jerky can also be replenished, but it was taken away by General Zhao An when he attacked the Central Plains, and if you want to eat mutton jerky, I am afraid that it will at least wait until the year after tomorrow! ”
At this moment, He joined the army, but continued to introduce Liu Tai's marching system to Li Ju.
When Li Ju heard He joining's words, he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth and sighed: "I can still pick a taste!?" ”
Li Ju couldn't help but feel embarrassed, at least from this moment, he clearly felt the gap between Jin Ting and Dahan.
Originally, Li Ju thought that Liu Tai's attack on the Central Plains must have shaken the country's capital, but from the reserves of Liu Tai's various materials, it can be seen that Liu Tai's conquest of the Central Plains did not even consume much of the materials he saved, and even Liu Tai still had the spare strength to continue to attack the Jin court south of the Yangtze River.
However, after Liu Tai took the land north of the Yangtze River and Huai River, he built it and collected it, and he did not want to continue to drive straight in.
This kind of determination, this kind of determination, what is Jin Ting going to win!
"Give me the same for every taste!" Li Ju sighed, but he quickly broke free from his thoughts and said to He to join the army.
And it was just as He joined the army that Li Ju completed the allocation of various materials step by step and returned to the barracks.
At this moment, Huan Xuan glanced at the somewhat endless convoy, and thought that his supplies were mixed in the convoy, so he couldn't help but come up and say to Li Ju, "General, which are our supplies?" ”、
"Both."
"Both?"
Li Ju nodded fiercely.
