Chapter 937: Swinging the army north
The 80,000 Dahua army marched northward, with flags fluttering and armor in armor, which was very majestic and mighty.
Luo Zhaoyun led the troops in a commonplace, orderly, 80,000 people were divided into six armies, the vanguard army of 20,000 elite cavalry led by Pei Renji and his son in front, and then the left army, the right army, the middle army, the rear army, and the baggage army, except for the Chinese army, which had 20,000 horses, the remaining four armies were 10,000 horses each.
Each road of military horses and then subdivided, will set up seven military camps, the commander of each military camp can also be called the 'general manager', in addition to the main camp, respectively, the left and right Yuhou each one army, the left and right two armies, a total of seven military camps to form a left army, and so on, quite cumbersome.
However, it is precisely such a strict military system that can make the huge military organization operate as usual, and every soldier can find his direct boss and team.
There are 10,000 horses and horses in the rear baggage team, which is responsible for taking care of the grain and grass team.
You must know that in ancient wars, pay attention to the soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, the grain and grass needed for the front line to fight the war are often astronomical, in the Sui Dynasty, the government military system was implemented, and they would bring their own food, but it was only a month's worth of rations, and basically half of it would be consumed on the way, and when it arrived at the front line, there was not much left.
After the founding of the country, due to the war and the collapse of the Juntian system, the government military system was not implemented, the army became a recruitment system, and the army was professionalized, so the grain and grass were borne by the state, and the military department transferred troops, and the household department raised grain, and the division of labor was carried out.
If a soldier has one pound of rice per day, then the daily consumption of an army of 80,000 is 80,000 catties, about 700 stones, and 21,000 stones of grain and rice in a month.
There was not so much grain and grass reserves in Guanzhong, so the first batch of baggage teams of the army only carried half a month's grain and grass, hoping to end the battle within half a month and defeat the Turkic soldiers and horses. Once the war is protracted, the consumption of grain and grass is a huge expense.
These laborers, many of whom were sent from the Guanzhong counties around the capital, were transferred from the Guanzhong counties around the capital, and according to the new rent system implemented by Dahua, each ding had to pay two stones of corn to the state every year, which was called rent; Pay two zhang of silk, three taels of cotton or two zhang of cloth and five feet, three catties of hemp, called tune; Twenty days of conscription, plus two days in leap years, is for regular service.
Anyway, when the war was fought, they didn't need to go on, they were only responsible for the rear to drive and transport grain, and the laborers did not have any nervousness, plus His Majesty's royal drive and personal expedition, they all felt that they would definitely be able to break the Turks and be able to follow this trip, but they looked excited, and felt that they had the capital to brag about going back.
After a day's march, camp was carried out.
Luo Zhaoyun stood on a high ground, looking at the camp arrangement, ten miles of bright lights, from time to time there was a cavalry team burst out, that was the patrol of the scout battalion, going out to patrol the distance of ten miles or even more, checking the enemy scouts, raiding teams, etc.
He couldn't help but think of the experience of being fourteen or fifteen years old, far away from Youzhou, and going to join the army alone, joining the scout camp, and being a patrol guard.
"It's really fast, more than ten years have passed, from a scout patrol at the beginning, to today's yellow robe, and he has become the founding emperor."
Luo Zhaoyun sighed abruptly, and sighed the circumstances of life, when he crossed back and became the son of the Luo family in Youzhou, he was in danger, and he never thought that he would have the glory of today.
Now that half of the country has been pocketed, the northwest territory is also under the control of Dahua, as long as the Turks are defeated and Shibi Khan is killed, next, they can focus on the south, Xiao Liang, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo and other teams.
After the reunification of the north and the south, they recuperated, strengthened national defense, trained elite soldiers, and fought against Tibet and Liaodong.
Moreover, when Luo Zhaoyun was studying in graduate school in history, he remembered that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he experienced several droughts, locust plagues, and Guanzhong did not harvest grains for several years, and millions or even tens of millions of people starved to death.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going to patrol the camp, do you have any other instructions?" Lai Hu'er walked over, wearing a Mingguang general armor, wearing a hood, draped with neck guards, shoulder pads, and shawls, wearing a mattress robe inside, and two pieces of Mingguang armor embedded in the front chest.
Although he is the deputy marshal, not the commander of the army, His Majesty will definitely not be able to patrol the camp in person, so this task will be entrusted to him.
Inspect the barracks at night, conduct spot checks on the layout of the barracks, trenches, wooden stakes, and soldiers' weapons, and also conduct random inspections on the commanders and owners of each battalion, which is very strict to ensure the vigilance of the troops.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled dumbly and said: "The general has been in the military for half his life, and he is more familiar with it than me, and there is no other explanation, just follow the regular camp patrol procedures, I can trust you." ”
When Luo Zhaoyun was still a pawn, Lai Hu'er was the tiger general of the Great Sui, and he was also the right-hand man under Yang Su.
Lai Hu'er also laughed when he heard this, and arched his hand: "Thank you for your Majesty's trust." ”
"Go ahead!" Luo Zhaoyun nodded.
"Command!" Laihu'er hugged his fists, turned to leave, followed by the guards, hugged down the hillside, and went to patrol the camp.
Xiao Yu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's dark, go back to the camp to rest." ”
In fact, he was worried that when it was dark, if a Turkic scout, spies, and killers approached, he would smear and assassinate; Or it is more dangerous to secretly release cold arrows, after all, when night falls, the line of sight is affected, and it is still unsafe to walk outside.
Luo Zhaoyun bowed his head, he also planned to return to the account, according to some of today's latest information, and then study the strategy and map location, deduce the time node and formation, etc., to ensure that the battle is foolproof.
