Feng Xiaobao squatted in the baggage camp and participated in training, so as to familiarize himself with the business. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, if there is no food in the army, there is no need to fight.

Although the baggage battalion has no outstanding merit in collecting, collecting, transporting, protecting, and distributing grain, it is a necessary link to ensure the victory of the army.

Feng Xiaobao, officers and staff officers of the baggage battalion led the sergeants of the baggage battalion to carry out a grain transportation exercise.

"The grain camp should be set up in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a good place to get water and firewood!" Guo Xingsan explained: "The water source has always been an important foothold for the army, and the march according to the water source is the principle that the soldiers have always escaped!" ”

"But the defender will take advantage of this principle, either to set up an ambush, or to poison the water source, to block the water source, and then you have to find another way.

"Look!" Guo Sheng's three whips pointed to the distant mountain shape and said: "This place is mountainous, the trees are vigorous, and there must be water sources, so if it is possible for the army, you must bring digging tools and dig wells!" ”

At present, it can only be said that the snow on the mountain is not yet feasible.

"It is good to use a horse-drawn cart to transport grain, and to prepare more beans can make the horse last longer, and the capacity of the horse will drop rapidly if it only eats grass!

"A horse can travel up to a hundred miles a day, and no more, so, Captain, you have to make a note of this distance!" Guo Xingsan taught Feng Xiaobao everything he had, so that Feng Xiaobao knew, so that he could judge the situation of the enemy and us, and if it was the enemy transporting grain, where might it go!

"Two rickshaws can transport up to four stones of grain, two oxen on ox carts can carry up to fourteen stones, and ten mules on mule carts can transport thirty stones!"

"The men and horses who carry grain also have to eat, and if they attack 2,000 miles, maybe half of the grain will be eaten by the horses pulling the carts, not to mention the people who eat! Thousands of miles of grain, not one out of ten! ”

"I once saw the information of the Ministry of War, saying that the number of troops and the number of livestock can be one to three, that is, the supply of a sergeant needs three oxen, horses, and mules to be transported, so as to be guaranteed!"

"Don't look at us as 400 people, we are fighting, we need to requisition more manpower, the best can be recruited, and if we can't be recruited, we will be arrested!

We also have to face all kinds of problems, such as transporting soldiers and horses injured, sick, dead, bad weather, bad road conditions, bad cars, etc., we have to understand a lot, build roads and bridges, repair cars, dig wells to find water, find horse feed, feed horses and cattle, cattle and horses are sick, and they have to be treated, otherwise if one of them dies, your cavalry will have a heartache for the war horse, we will also have a headache, and if one of them dies, who will carry its things? Having said that, if we don't want to kill livestock, we still have to learn to kill horses and cattle, and that is the reserve army rations. Also, Captain Feng, you encourage us to eat cheese and dried meat, and we are learning how to make it...... Anyway, you have to know everything, do you want to learn it? ”

Hearing this, Feng Xiaobao gasped, I can't figure out that being a soldier has much less to learn than being a baggage soldier.

The boring numbers made Feng Xiaobao clear that it was not easy to carry heavy soldiers, and he asked: "How to transport grain more calmly?" ”

"Set up grain storage points everywhere, make early plans, accumulate grain and grass, continue to relay halfway, and the troops are dispatched, all the way to take grain and grass from the grain storage points, so that the troops are quickly deployed.

Otherwise, it will be transported all the way to the Hetao, and the road will not be easy to walk, and every stone eaten on the front line will have to be transported to the rear for 30 stones, but how to fight? ”

Feng Xiaobao said thoughtfully: "Juntun, it's a good solution." ”

"Yes, but how many people are willing to leave their hometowns?" Guo Xingsan shrugged.

Guo Xingsan was not optimistic about Juntun, but Feng Xiaobao was greatly inspired.

Don't want to leave your hometown? Now there is no human rights in the feudal society, and the imperial court decrees that each household will draw a piece to form a military group army, and the imperial army will go to wherever the military cantonment goes.

The military cantonment service time can reach ten years, and ten years can accomplish great things!

As for the increase in population, it is not difficult to say that it is easy to say that it is not easy to develop productive forces, encourage childbirth, and improve the level of medicine...... This is a national policy, Feng Xiaobao has no strength to implement it for the time being, but he has the ability to influence the one in the palace and let her implement it.

It's not right not to rebel, it's even more wrong not to fight the world, don't do both, chrysanthemum set electric drill!

After hearing a lot of what Guo Xingsan said, Feng Xiaobao asked curiously: "Since it is so difficult to be a baggage soldier, why do you still want to be a baggage soldier?" ”

"Because comparatively speaking, the soldiers die more than the baggage soldiers! I like the army, but I'm also afraid of death, so I have to be a baggage soldier! Guo replied.

The reason is very strong, Feng Xiaobao agrees.

They are now practicing transporting grain, there is snow on the road, the weather is cold, and the principle is "there will be no war when it's cold?" "So unless it's snowing heavily, the army stays in the barracks, and whenever possible, they have to drill.

"Kill!" Hearing the sound of killing, a small group of simulated enemy cavalry came out from the back slope, and the heavy soldiers were immediately in chaos.

Seeing the baggage soldiers running around and screaming like headless flies, Guo Xingsan and the officers rushed out on horseback, whipped and scolded loudly with leather whips, quickly gathered the troops, and they picked up spears and shields to form a formation, and the baggage soldiers behind the spearmen took out bows and crossbows!

"To deal with the enemy's robbers, our baggage soldiers must be able to use bows and arrows! Especially know how to use a crossbow! Guo Xingsan said: "I learned the bow and crossbow was taught to me by a veteran of baggage, and against the enemy's cavalry, if there is no bow and crossbow, the spearmen are useless!" ”

He demonstrated how to use a crossbow: "The crossbow can be better aimed at the enemy, and after the crossbow is wound, you don't need to control the string for a long time, you don't need to be nervous, and you can better shoot the enemy." ”

"Of course, there are disadvantages, that is, the winding speed is a little slower, but for us heavy soldiers, it is good to use it!"

"In addition to using a crossbow, you still need to use a bow, and fire a large number of bows and arrows in a short period of time to suppress the opponent! And shoot at the enemy! ”

Guo Xingsan raised the crossbow in his hand, lightly fired, and the arrow drew a beautiful arc, accurately hitting one of the opponent's cavalrymen.

Arrows don't fall when they fall, that's when the arrows are removed.

"Wind! First quarter! "The bow-wielding baggage men made a standard way of playing, first firing long distances with a foot bow (which had a longer range than a riding bow), and then discarding the bow and using a long-wound crossbow when the cavalry advanced.

Aim at close range, shoot accurately, even if there is no arrow, the cavalry who is shot will be hurt in the unarmored place. rushed to the front and shouted: "What are you doing with such accurate shooting, I robbed your woman!" ”

The cavalryman showed a bruise on his arm!

"He's shooting my horse!" Some people even scolded and were heartbroken.

"What is this, is your armor papier-mâché?" The baggage soldiers sneered at each other, patted the two large crossbows, and said, "They haven't wielded their power yet!" ”

"Where's your cheese? What about dried meat? Make amends! "The cavalry extorted the baggage soldiers, knowing that cheese and dried meat were the two treasures of the baggage soldiers.

The baggage soldiers smiled and said: "We went to the drill to collect grain, but we haven't collected grain yet!" ”

"Cut!" The cavalry rode away. (To be continued.) )
