Thank you for the "Blue Tulip" valuable commuter pass! At the same time, Xie Lu thanked the enthusiastic reward of "washing feet like a child" and "Captain Shubei".

………………………………………………………………………………

The reorganization of the army is far from being as easy as imagined, and the composition of an army is not so simple because many people only see the soldiers who need to deal with the fighting.

A force of more than 1,000 men, the ratio of soldiers in it is about a fixed number of one to five. In other words, one auxiliary soldier has to take care of the daily life of five soldiers, including logistics and wartime supplies.

In terms of ranged troops, the auxiliary requirements of archers are even higher, and every two archers must have an auxiliary soldier to assist, because there are more procedures for the selection, preparation, and use of arrows. If it is a crossbow unit, each crossbowman needs a special auxiliary to take care of, because the quality of the crossbow is higher than that of the bow and arrow, and the crossbow machine also needs the auxiliary to pull the bowstring to fix it.

In addition to taking care of the lives of the soldiers, they also need to toss the camps and the camps of the army, and they also need to do the usual food transportation.

In contrast, the soldiers usually only train repeatedly and do not do miscellaneous work, which is the so-called "raising soldiers for a thousand days".

Lu Zhe had a statistic in his hand, Yiling was young and strong between the ages of eighteen and thirty, and the number of people who were not injured, sick or disabled was only a pitiful 6,427 people. This data has already counted the orthodox Qin army.

More than 6,000 people are not all suitable for being soldiers, and psychological quality must also be taken into account.

No kidding at all. Not everyone who is physically qualified can become a soldier, the body is strong but does not have the corresponding courage, and no matter how good the equipment is, they dare not kill the enemy. What is the difference with waste, can such a person be a soldier?

All armies have logistical units, on the one hand, it is necessary to have someone to serve as a transporter, and on the other hand, it is not mentioned in the historical military books. Note that none of the military books mentioned it!

What should I do if my physical and mental qualities are not up to par? The right thing is to arrange these people into the logistics troops, let them get used to and adapt to the life of the army, and numb their mentality with a variety of tasks. Then the psychological quality slowly becomes stronger. Of course, this is only under the condition that there are enough soldiers. In times of emergency, the commander of the army would organize such men separately, and it was usually the practice to send them to drain the enemy's physical strength - that is, to drive them to the enemy to be slashed.

For Lu Zhe, no matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is physically passing, he must use it. He planned and compiled all the young and middle-aged people in his hands. Sixty-four hundred-man teams were formed. Sixty-four hundred generals were promoted. Su Lie, Mei Li, Ji Bu, Chen Xuan, Yi Jian, Diao Ding, Gong Wei, Mian Bi, Zhao Xian, Kun Chuan, Wu Liang...... These twelve men were also promoted to become military marquis. Six of them were assigned as military marquis of six thousand-strong soldiers, namely Su Lie, Mei Kai, Ji Bu, Chen Xuan, Gongwei, and Mian Bei, and the rest were assigned to serve as military marquis in auxiliary troops.

Except for the limited number of military marquis. Among the original 100 generals, Lu Zhe selected the 500 masters who filled the establishment by means of a competition. Oh, those hundred generals were also selected on the basis of military merits. In fact, the tun chief, the chief of the shi, and the chief of the Wu were also selected in this way.

Middle- and lower-level officers in the army do not need to have a smart brain, what they need is to have the force that can suppress the soldiers, and then unconditionally carry out the orders of their superiors.

There wasn't much time for Lu Zhe to waste, and the officers were busy for two days, but the soldiers were able to get a good rest. On the third day, the soldiers were assembled, they began to be grouped into the new formation, and the auxiliary forces began to be purged.

The number of orthodox Qin troops was restored to the establishment of two military marquis, and the missing places were selected from the auxiliary soldiers of the school, they were 1,000 spearmen and 1,000 Ge spearmen, and the military marquis were Ji Bu and Chen Xuan respectively.

After Su Lie became a military marquis, he also commanded 1,000 men, with 220 heavy infantry and 800 Tengdun spearmen under his command. Obviously, there are twenty people overnumbered, but this is Lu Zhe's arrangement.

After selecting from the crowd, the number of archers under Mei Kai increased to 800, and there were 200 Tengdun spearmen in his 1,000-strong team. The armament of the 800 archers was somewhat inconsistent, and after several battles, there were less than 400 bows left with guaranteed quality, and the rest were all put together, and there were only more than 80,000 arrows, and the arrows were probably exhausted in two battles.

The remaining 2,000 people were also reorganized into spearmen, led by the Gongwei and the Chief.

In particular, the newly formed cavalry unit of about 600 men was composed of banner-bearers as the backbone and skilled soldiers selected from the soldiers of the six countries. In addition to the original war horses, most of the horses were captured from Ouyue.

The height of the four hooves of the Hexi horse or Guanzhong horse of the Qin State is about one meter six, but the captured war horse is a bantam horse. This horse with relatively short hooves seems to be the ancestor of the Yunnan horse, and to be honest, it is not suitable for use as a war horse, but more suitable for carrying things. But now there is no way to do it, so let's just use it.

Lu Zhe has decided to come out of the nest, as long as there are no crippled men, they will be rectified. This reorganization was carried out in a hurry, and the exact number of the total number is honestly difficult to count, about twenty-four thousand?

After a rough review, except for the two thousand troops of the orthodox Qin army, the remaining four thousand people can't even stand in line, let alone those auxiliary troops composed of the old and weak.

"Commander," Ji Bu said in a low voice, "in this battle, our losses will be very large?" ”

Lu Zhe didn't answer, he looked intently at the troops under his command. This battle will be very fierce, both against the enemy and your own troops. He knew that he would suffer heavy losses and had to meet the challenge, and if he didn't take advantage of the fact that he still had the ability to fight back, would he really have to wait for Gangneung to fall before facing an enemy army armed to the teeth and with high morale?

Ji Bu was also silent, and the officers, including him, had already learned from the chief general about the situation in Gangneung.

Guiyue and Minyue have been storming Gangneung for two days in a row. Several times they almost attacked, and the losses on both sides were very heavy.

The Jiangling garrison is now divided into two camps, now Gui Yue is fighting Yan Bi's side, and Min Yue is fighting Zhao and Tian Yong's side. I don't know what the people of Ludao Baiyue think? If they don't disperse their forces and choose to storm one place, it is estimated that they have already attacked in the face of the internally divided Gangneung defenders.

Yan Bi really tried hard to maintain, but his performance was mediocre and he didn't want to delegate the power in his hands, so the result was that the more he fought, the more impatient he became, and at the same time, Jiaoqu and Zhao Qian were more and more dissatisfied with him.

There have been seven letters of help from desperately breaking through to Yiling. The content of one is more urgent than the other...... Or should I say miserable.

Lu Zhe was not in Gangneung. He couldn't understand the real situation in person, and he didn't understand that Yan Bi had 10,000 fierce and well-armed prisoners in his hands, and it might be difficult to change from passive to active, but it wouldn't be so bad, right?

Yan Bi on the other side of Jiangling was just talking about misery. The number of people lost is not indicated. There is no description of the approximate losses of the enemy. This leaves Lu Zhe without a basis. to judge what kind of miserable method the battle situation is.

The convicts seized the arsenal, and their equipment was arguably the best and most neat in Gangneung, but because of this, there were a lot of unpleasant encounters with those people in the Six Kingdoms.

The news of the huge number of weapons will definitely be hidden. Yan Bi was one of the people who advocated that the news of having a large number of weapons should not be revealed. To what extent did he keep it secret, that is, he asked the prisoners not to be so "fully armed" and should be "low-key", and even took out less than 2,000 weapons to arm the young men below.

It is understandable that Yan Bi is worried about something, but he doesn't look at what time it is, and he still hasn't come up with enough weapons to arm his subordinates when he may be broken through the defense by the enemy at any time. This is no longer as pedantic as just picking the door, but lacking the overall situation.

If Lu Zhe was present, even if he knew that Lu Dao would take out a weapon that would expose the news and make Bai Yue's eyes red-eyed, even if the armed rebels might be counterattacked, he would take out enough weapons and arm the defenders to fight with the Baiyue people first, and then come to fight with the rebels who might clash or fight.

may be scolded for being naïve or hypocritical, but Lu Zhe will really do that! If he could choose who to lose, he would choose to lose under the rebels who were also Chinese, and it would definitely not be a Baiyue barbarian!

In all fairness, Yan Bi knew in his heart that he should unite the rebels to resist the Baiyue people, but he was not at ease in his heart. In his opinion, the Baiyue people are the barbarians and the biggest threat, but the threat of the rebels is not less than that of the Baiyue people. Precisely, he felt that he could still wait for the opportunity to break through in the hands of the Baiyue people, and the dream or ambition in his heart that was defeated in the hands of the rebels would never have a chance to come true.

"Defeat in the hands of the Baiyue people is a crime of non-war, and after distributing weapons, I was defeated by the Zhao clan, what will the military master think of me?" Yan Bi is struggling to support with such thoughts.

There are no assumptions in many things, and Yan Bi is not Lu Zhe. Lu Zhe is the main general, and there will not be too much psychological pressure to make any choice, Yan Bi is just a "subordinate" who will be afraid of how Lu Zhe views the issue of weapons.

"Almost," Lu Zhe ordered the entire army to be disbanded, and turned his head to look at the officers following him: "You guys prepare well at night, and when you have time, go and talk to the hundred generals under your command." ”

Several officers who were appointed as military marquis but did not receive the approval of Xianyang and issued tokens nodded silently. Of course, they will go to the hundred generals to talk to each other, and they will also patrol the camp to get to know the soldiers.

Temporarily, but what can be done, they have always been on the verge of danger, and they don't have so much time to run in the troops.

Lu Zhe raised his feet and walked first, and the officers behind him glanced at each other a few times, but Ji Bu, Gongwei, and Mei Kai chased after them.

The three of them are all military marquis who commands the soldiers, and they are very eager to know what the Dao Master will arrange tomorrow, so they are also a little mentally prepared.

Lu Zhe, who was walking in front, naturally knew that someone had followed, and he entered his big tent and sat down on the main seat before looking at the three of them: "Say it." ”

Ji Bu bowed his hand: "Lord, most of the robes still think that you really want to pretend to be Ou Yue to sneak attack the enemy army, and don't ...... with them."

Raising his hand to make a gesture of stopping, Lu Zhe said: "No, they didn't understand wrongly, it is true that there will be a group of Ouyue people who will go forward to attack the enemy camp in Jiangling. ”

Ji Bu was stunned, and Gongwei and Mei Wei looked at each other in confusion. The three of them were extremely confused.

"Knowing that the leader of Guiyue Dao, Chang Qinqing, and the leader of Minyue, Mu Muqing, are they staying in Jiangling for nothing?" Lu Zhe put aside the topic just now and asked: "The two of them must know that Lu Dao Yi Huze has been defeated, and it will only take an afternoon or morning to arrive from Jiangling to Yiling. Even if it's just a harassment? ”

The lieutenant rubbed his head and said, "The 50,000 people in Ouyue have all been defeated, presumably they think that if there are fewer people, they will be eaten by us, and if they send too much, they will not be able to suppress the defenders of Jiangling." ”

Mei Kai and Ji Bu glanced at each other, they felt that it would not be so simple.

"Hah! Wei is right," these words made the three of them stunned, and Lu Zhewan smiled: "But it's not complete." The combat power we showed was to scare Chang Qinqing and Mu Muqing. But that's not the point. The key is that there are fewer Baiyue people who come, and they are really worried that they will be eaten by us. There are too many to suppress the defenders of Gangneung. And more importantly......"

Selling Guan Zi or something is the most annoying, but Lu Zhe didn't say it, just glanced at the three of them with his eyes, obviously to let them guess.

Ji Bu's eyes lit up when he thought of something: "Could it be that the people of Baiyue know that there are a large number of weapons in Jiangling?" ”

Let's be honest. Lu Zhe once also thought that it was known to the Baiyue people that there were a large number of weapons in Jiangling. Later research suggests that it should not be. Otherwise, it will not be an intermittent attack, but a desperate and non-stop attack, so this article can basically be ruled out. He shook his head slowly at Jibu, a look of scrutiny on his face.

The lieutenant pondered. Yiling and Jiangling are really not too far apart, what makes Gui Yue and Min Yue Zhi Lu Dao Ou Yue defeated and still stare at Jiangling's attack and ignore this side?

Mei Kai didn't have any expression on his face, but his pupils were looking somewhere without focus. Obviously, he was also struggling to think about it.

After a long time, Ji Buchi asked: "General, how much grain and grass have we seized in Ouyue?" ”

Lu Zhe turned his head to look and replied, "It's enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a month, and there is no problem to save a little to cope with it for two months."

Ji Bu felt that the "point" he had grasped was right, and he mustered up confidence: "Is that the grain and grass of Guiyue and Minyue are transported by Ouyue, and their grain and grass are running out, hoping to break through Jiangling to obtain grain and grass, and then come to deal with us?" ”

Lu Zhe was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "There is this possibility, but this possibility is not high." Although they are all Baiyue people, Baiyue himself is not united, and it is not the personality of Baiyue people to protect the grain and grass after sending troops to other tribes for safekeeping. ”

The three of them took turns to mention a few points in a row, some of which were exactly what Lu Zhe thought, and he was not sure that he could think of every point in his hands. The reason why I didn't say it all was because on the one hand, I was examining the three of them, and on the other hand, I felt that I should brainstorm it.

"Jiangling is the main assembly place of the Qin army, and it is not difficult for Baiyue to judge that weapons and grain and grass will be stored there." Lu Zhe's words made the three of them stunned, they had overturned this assumption just now, why did they bring it up again? He ignored the surprised expressions on the faces of the three of them, and continued to say: "However, the Baiyue people don't know that the number of weapons in the road will be so large, and in the eyes of those who don't know, it is normal to reserve one or two thousand weapons in the assembly area, and it is abnormal to be able to arm 130,000 people. Judging from the situation of Ouyue, they themselves are not short of grain and grass......"

I'm a little dizzy......

Lu Zhe said slowly: "In my opinion, Chang Qinqing and Mu Muxuan want to get the heads of the general and the deputy marshal, and use the heads of the chief and deputy commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army to achieve some goals. ”

The three of them didn't believe it, it was right that Tu Sui and Ren Huan's heads were important, but that could only achieve the goal of weakening the Qin army, Nanjun now only had them in the real sense of the Qin army, and their core was Lu Zhe and not Tu Sui or Ren Huan, even if it would be weakened, the morale would be limited.

"I suspect that ......" is not a suspicion, Lu Zhe is almost certain: "There are people who collude with Baiyue, and the head of the general and the deputy marshal is very important to their cooperation, and it may be the 'key' to reach a cooperative relationship, so they will wait for a few days after besieging Jiangling, and they know that there are still us on the side of Lu Dao but they have been fighting around Jiangling." ”

Gongwei's body shook, and he remembered that some time ago, there was a guy named Fan Zeng who had been bewitching Gongweng, although he didn't know what the content of the conversation was, but Fan Zeng did have a secret force behind him.

Mei Kai and Ji Bu were full of surprise.

Who is going to collude with the Baiyue people? And it seems that anyone is possible, after all, the Central Plains has just been reunified, and the resistance in the secret has not been completely extinguished.

At present, there is no national concept, and the national consciousness has just awakened. Again, this is because the six kingdoms were destroyed. It is with great resentment in the heart that the consciousness of the country will be awakened. During the Warring States period, people from various countries were free to work for any country.

When Lu Zhe found out about Gongwei's vision just now, he didn't say or ask it on the spot, but said: "Gui Yue and Min Yue have already learned the news of the defeat of Ouyue in Lu Dao, and they find out that there is a 'Ouyue' people rushing to Jiangling, so what kind of reaction will they make?" We will definitely defend this 'Ouyue' force, and we will definitely not dare to let them into the camp. ”

Mei Wei smiled weirdly: "You mean, use the captured Ouyue people as a human wall, and we will chase and kill them behind." Reenactment of cover-and-kill tactics? ”

Lu Zhe also smiled: "Guiyue and Minyue have camps. It is estimated that the cover-up battle is impossible. We ...... this time."

They chatted and chatted happily, discussing and improving their battle plans, and a few more officers joined in and continued until about midnight that night.

Next. Just before dawn. Countless puffs of smoke slowly rose from the camp to the sky.

It was a special day. The women and children woke up early, silently doing whatever they could, almost every one of them with a worried or melancholy expression on their faces.

It's going to be war again......

There will be relatives who will die on the battlefield again......

Even if they know this battle under the deliberate propaganda, they must fight. However, the meaning of knowing the Dao battle belongs to the Dao, which does not mean that he will send off his relatives with joy, and then ask his soldiers to fight to the death for their own survival.

Let relatives not care about their own safety and fight to the death for a certain goal, this kind of thing is not unheard of in history, but it will not appear in these women and children. If they had a choice, they would rather live forever than live as good as their livestock, rather than their relatives fighting to the death.

The eastern sky became cloudy, and the desolate trumpets were sounded.

whether they are strong or weak; Whether it's old or young. They...... They all got up.

Young and strong or young children, most of them have become enthusiastic in the two days of Lu Zhe's continuous incitation, and they have long been waiting for the battle to make a great achievement.

Aged people, as the saying goes, they have eaten more salt than the young people have walked, and it is not so easy to incite them after how many days and nights they have experienced to see the strange states of the world. They knew that what Lu Zhe said made sense, and they also understood that this battle had to be fought, and they also felt in their hearts that there would be someone who would make some great achievements, but there would definitely be more people who died.

The old people did not fight the young, enthusiastic children, who were silent and did what they had to do.

Lu Zhe woke up and freshened up a little and walked out of the tent, and what he saw was that the entire camp had come to life completely.

In the camp, the commander of the army beckoned the soldiers, the chief urged the commander, the commander of the tun scolded the chief for procrastinating, and the generals watched the soldiers under his command receiving the morning food reservedly, and the military marquis didn't care about so much and gnawed on very rich food.

It's very rich! Lu Zhe instructed the men to prepare for the morning meal, and the sheep, pigs, cows, and other livestock that were killed were slaughtered in thousands, and the very precious noodles in the south were also prepared without measurance, not to mention the vast amount of rice.

"Huh? Well! Swallowing the white rice, Lu Zhe couldn't wave his left arm, he held chopsticks in his hand as if playing with a stick: "Yes, prepare enough barbecue, and those things called steamed buns should also be enough." In addition, feed the captives a little, and let them eat as much as they want, preferably if they can't run fast after eating. ”

Steamed bread? The Qin Dynasty could have cakes, noodles and so on, but there were absolutely no steamed buns. In these years, the fermentation process has not come out at all, and the steamed buns that Lu Zhe said were made by his husband. In his opinion, it is not difficult to make steamed buns, at least when he followed his father to do the project, steamed buns were one of the staple foods of the workers' breakfast, and he made them himself more than once from fermentation to steaming for fun.

The soldiers faithfully carried out Lu Zhe's order, when did those captured Ou Yue be able to let go of their stomachs and eat like this? And the food among the people of the Central Plains is different from their methods. It's not that it's bad, but even the big pot of rice is very fragrant, not to mention the dishes fried with lean meat and plants that I don't know what kind of plants are so delicious.

Gobbling up food, the Ouyue people were discussing with rice grains while eating, and they were extremely envious of the soldiers of this army who could eat such delicious things every day. Compared with the people of the Central Plains, the food they usually eat is simply for pigs rather than people.

"I don't know if they recruit soldiers?" Many Ouyue people think about it or discuss it openly.

It's not surprising to have this idea at all, this is an era without national consciousness, and the same is to fight as a soldier, so of course it is the side that wants to follow the good treatment.

It's a pity that no one understands what Ouyue is talking about, and the soldiers guarding the prisoners of war thought that the Ouyue people were going to riot and were very nervous, and when they were about to call someone to suppress them, they found that those Ouyue people went back to squat honestly with disappointed faces.

After eating the morning food and then eating for a quarter of an hour or two, Lu Zhe led the team to set off, and at the same time, nearly 10,000 Ouyue people who were captured were also guarded and escorted on the road. (To be continued......)
