Chapter 51: Establishing Camp

This matter, Zhang Xuan promised that it would be easy, but it was just a matter of touching the skin of the mouth, but it was not easy to do it.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, and he decided to go to see Luo Rucai.

This matter cannot be solved without seeing Luo Ru.

Zhang Xuan came to the Tang Palace, but heard that Luo Rucai was on the top of the Wangfu Mountain, and Zhang Xuan immediately came to the bottom of the Wangfu Mountain.

The so-called Wangfu Mountain is a rockery. It is rumored that it is the rockery that was pulled from the south of the Yangtze River when the Tang Dynasty was established, which is several zhang high, surpassing all the buildings in Nanyang City, and is the commanding height of Nanyang City.

This rockery is naturally inferior to the famous mountains and rivers, but in the dexterity of the expression of a dangerous word, the road is almost around the mountain, not allowed two people to go in parallel, but there is a platform on the top, there are stone tables and chairs on it. And Luo Rucai is sitting here, except for Yang Shan, there is only one beauty to accompany him, and this platform is full.

Zhang Xuan said: "The students meet the handsome. ”

Luo Rucai said: "What are you doing here?" ”

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu's pursuers have been discovered, although Zuo Liangyu has no intention of engaging with Cao Ying and offering camps. But Luo Rucai didn't dare to stay in Nanyang anymore, tomorrow, the army will be out of camp. Luo Rucai was empty. Come to the place where it is said to have the best scenery in Tang Wangfu. But he didn't want him to arrive on the front foot, Zhang Xuan came on the back foot, Luo Rucai thought that Luo Yufeng leaked his whereabouts, and let Zhang Xuan come at this time, and couldn't help muttering in his heart that the woman was not staying, and his tone towards Zhang Xuan became bad.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and said, "The student has a heartfelt word. Please also listen to the students. ”

"Speak." Luo Rucai said.

At this moment, the four of them are on a platform of several square meters, and all around them are suspended in the air. Many people are a little uneasy when they come here, even if they hide it well, they can't hide it from Luo Rucai's eyes. But Luo Rucai found that Zhang Xuan was not afraid, and his evaluation of Zhang Xuan was a little better in his heart.

In these years, those who are not bold and reckless will not be able to survive in this world.

However, he knew that this was a high-rise building that Zhang Xuan couldn't manage, and the rockery was only a few meters high, and it was not as high as the primary school teaching building, so he had long been used to it.

"The student view of the handsome cavalry is outstanding, but the foot soldiers have little to speak of. Cavalry is certainly a clutch army, but the infantry army is the foundation of all armies. The students asked the marshal to select strong men in Nanyang to form an infantry army, and there were many others, and when he attacked the city in the day, he did not need cavalry to dismount and fight on foot. Zhang Xuan said.

Luo Rucai looked at Zhang Xuan, but didn't know what to say.

What Zhang Xuan said was indeed true, but he thought that Luo Rucai's horse team was cavalry, but he was very wrong.

Luo Rucai and even all the rogues from all walks of life acted as mules and horses. Everything is on horseback, but it is not that they are cavalry, but they do not use horses to travel, to ensure the speed of marching, they have long been wiped out by officers and soldiers, as for the time of engagement, whether to dismount to fight, it depends on the skills of each person, some of them are superb, riding horses may not be impossible, and some still have to dismount and fight. This is a matter of common sense. And Zhang Xuan has experienced too few wars. He didn't understand that.

However, what Zhang Xuan said also made Luo Rucai distressed.

He was also hesitant to recruit more soldiers.

The rogue uprising, many times in the coercion, there are tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people at once, but the soldiers and the people are uneven, every battle, not by the official army with thousands of people to collapse, and then they all grew in, the elite picked out, these elites are the predecessor of the horse team, there is something, you can drop the coerced cannon fodder to run first, only this group of elites are there, erect the recruitment flag, and a large number of people will run for a mouthful of food.

It's just that this will seriously slow down the speed of the march.

And the speed of the march is the only magic weapon that they can defeat the official army, so Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong is surrounded by the official army in all directions, and rarely coerces the people, but the headquarters is only, before entering Xiangyang, the total is only six or seven thousand people, after entering Nanyang, Luo Rucai's military strength has expanded, and now there are about more than 10,000 people. Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are also rolling upward.

Luo Rucai didn't even know how many people he had now.

Luo Rucai's control over his subordinates was actually not as strict as Zhang Xuan imagined, and every rebel leader was responsible for himself. Whether to recruit or not is his own decision, however, Luo Rucai unified the management of the looted materials, put them in the back camp Luo Dain's place, used logistics to restrict the generals, and also used his wrists to entrap people, like Zhang Xuan's identity, if you want to recruit some people, you don't need to report at all.

However, a problem is also reflected in Luo Rucai, that is, there are not enough horses, not only horses, but also other livestock.

If you recruit people, as long as there is food, tens of thousands of people can flock to it, but there are not enough livestock, and when you move in the future, you will not be able to keep up with the speed of the march, and it will only be given to the heads of the officers and soldiers for nothing, what is the use.

Luo Rucai asked: "Do you want to recruit foot soldiers, if you can guarantee that you can keep up with the team?" ”

Zhang Xuan thought about it, the army doesn't march 300 miles every day, and besides, hasn't my PLA also had a case of running 600 miles? It can be seen that the foot soldier is not slow, and Zhang Xuan also feels that the situation is different, he said: "Now the chasing soldiers behind the army, the only thing to worry about is Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu listens to the seal or not, it is not a day or two, the students do not think that Zuo Liangyu will follow too closely, and the marching speed of the foot soldier is not slow, and I dare not say that it is okay to march sixty miles a day." ”

"Do you dare to make a military order?" Luo Rucai said.

In this era, the Ming army seems to rely on cavalry to fight, this should be the atmosphere of Liaozhen, Li Chengliang raised 8,000 families, and he was able to run rampant in Liaodong. After the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, after the Qi family army and the white pole army were destroyed, there was no infantry formation called a strong formation.

A lot of things are easy to say, but not easy to do. Especially in Zhang Xuan's opinion, it can be called a terrifying military order. But if he didn't agree, the children would have to stay here, and most of them would starve to death.

The life of one person is more important than the life of a group of people.

My life is tied to someone else's life, that one.

"I bet." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "I may not be able to do it, isn't it just a march of sixty miles?" It doesn't have to be impossible. ”

"The student agreed, but the handsome man had to promise the student some conditions." Zhang Xuan said.

"Say." Luo Rucai was concise and to the point.

"First, give students some time. This didn't happen overnight. Zhang Xuan said.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "However, it is only ten days, if you can't do it within ten days, you can hang your head." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Second, the number of people in the infantry camp should not be too large. Zhang Xuan didn't overestimate his ability at all, there were too many people, and he definitely couldn't control it.

Luo Rucai said: "You can decide the number of people?" "Luo Rucai doesn't have a fine tube at all for each person, just need to report an approximate number, anyway, there are so many logistics supplies.

Zhang Xuan said: "The students' infantry battalion, during training, does not undertake combat or transportation tasks. ”

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "But when it should be used, you still have to use it, otherwise what is the use of me raising you?" ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't and said, "Yes." ”

Luo Rucai said: "Is there anything else?" The implication is that if there is nothing else, let's hurry up and do something.

Zhang Xuan said that there was nothing to do, but suddenly remembered Mr. Ji and said: "Dashuai, now the Daming Building will fall, so the students think that Dashuai should set up an official in Nanyang to rule, so that the world knows Dashuai's ambition?" ”

Luo Rucai glanced at Zhang Xuan and said, "Who do you want to pit?" Just picked up the small half-pulled city wall, and sent someone to be an official, didn't he want people to die? ”

"No, Dashuai, you misunderstood." Zhang Xuan said: "There are Si Tu Fang and Si Min, if the marshal wants to achieve great things, he must have a stable foundation, and a stable foundation must be used by talents, adults do not show it to the world, he does not want to continue to be a rogue Kou's mind, the world is capable of people, how can you know the mind of the handsome?" ”

"It's like a thing." Luo Rucai said: "You are busy with your business, I have my own plans." ”
