Except for a small number of people who were injured before coming or when they went to work, and there were also people who were sick and had to recuperate in the camp.

The remaining pure lazy men preferred to stay in the camp in the sun like the women who made clothes, rather than go out to work in exchange for better living conditions. It's as if the porridge and three steamed buns that can't be drunk every day have fulfilled their greatest wish.

For these people who didn't have any eyesight, Gao Yang did not immediately drive them out to fend for themselves, but watched coldly from the sidelines. Let's just give them another chance. No matter how you say it, they are all Han Chinese.

It's just that after the road between Yingzhou City and Taiyuan City is repaired, if they still live like this, then they can only come from and where they go back. If you don't love yourself, don't expect others to help you!

Since there were a large number of biochemical soldiers who had been instilled with basic management knowledge to help Gao Yang deal with daily affairs, Gao Yang's life was immediately relaxed after being freed from the complicated official documents.

On weekdays, in addition to often going to the barracks to inspect the army, and occasionally accompanying Yelu Yu Liyan. Gao Yang spends most of his time exchanging goods back and forth between the two planes, and spending time with his family and girlfriend in the modern plane.

After the training of recruits is over, and the newly formed new armies have been replenished. Gao Yang began to seriously plan to attack Yunzhou City in the north.

After dozens of days of intensive training, the recruits who had just enlisted in the army barely reached the standard of auxiliary soldiers. A small number of excellent ones were directly turned into regular soldiers. The shortage of soldiers in the new armies has been alleviated to a certain extent.

After all, it is an infantry unit, and many times it can go to the battlefield without even training, and it can be directly issued with a weapon. What's more, they have received rigorous training for a long time. Those who could ride horses themselves were sent to the cavalry units. The strength of the armies has increased.

There is only one exception to this, and that is the heavily armored knight legion led by Gao Yang himself, the Blue Dragon Army.

It's not that Gaoyang doesn't have good enough soldiers. There were hundreds of thousands of people for him to choose from, and there must have been enough good soldiers. The Blue Dragon Army has a very large number of reserve knights.

It's not that there is not enough armor and weapons. With an abundant supply of raw materials, production equipment far more advanced than this era, and a group of craftsmen who have done a lifetime of handiwork, there is no shortage of materials in Gaoyang's army. Opposite. On the contrary, the supply of supplies is very abundant and of high quality.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the tremendous role of some seemingly relatively simple production equipment in promoting backward productivity.

It's like a thermometer that seems very simple. This is something that everyone is accustomed to in modern time and space. When it reaches the hands of those craftsmen in this plane, it has become an artifact!

Steelmaking and forging are the steps that must be taken to make any weapon or armor. One of the most important things in forging is to distinguish the heat, that is, the temperature!

How to distinguish the quality of steel that has been tempered thousands of times? When is it time to tap the molten steel? At that time, the only way was to rely on the eyes and experience of the old craftsmen who had beaten for decades!

However, since the advent of the thermometer, this qiē has all changed. With accurate temperature measurement, one of the most difficult and important steps in the forging process becomes extremely simple in an instant.

After using it himself, the industrial thermometers that Gao Yang brought from modern time and space immediately became the target of frantic competition among craftsmen. There were even craftsmen who fought to snatch the thermometer, which caused quite a commotion in the artisan camp at that time.

It wasn't until Gao Yang equipped all the craftsmen with thermometers that the matter gradually subsided. The craftsmen who got the thermometer quietly collected it without exception. It's all treated like family heirlooms.

The thermometer is just a microcosm, and Gaoyang has brought a large number of simple production equipment. Industrial production on this plane is enough to have a transformative impact.

There is no shortage of high-quality weapons and armor in Gaoyang. What he lacked was a tall horse capable of carrying a heavily armored knight in heavy armor and armed with heavy long soldiers!

There are not many horses that can be used as heavy cavalry mounts. There are very few such horses in the steppes of the surrounding nomads, and they have long been extinct in the Central Plains.

In fact, the war horses in the Central Plains were originally no worse than the war horses anywhere, but they have been castrated since the Spring and Autumn Period. From the beginning of this bad thing, there have been no excellent war horses in the Central Plains.

The better the horses, the less chance they have to pass on their bloodlines, because they are castrated before they reach adulthood.

As for the reason, it's ridiculous. During the Spring and Autumn Period, when the State of Wu was fighting against the State of Chu, the horses of the cavalry of the State of Wu were attracted by the mare on the side of the State of Chu and ran over there. Thus led to the defeat.

In order to prevent this from happening again, the Wu army castrated all the stallions. Not to mention, this trick is really useful. Since then, there has never been a case of a war horse being attracted to a mare in heat and running away.

After learning of this news, the countries of the Central Plains also followed suit. The effect is really good after using it.

Merely. The result of this is that the suzhì generation of war horses is not as good as the generation. The bloodline of excellent war horses cannot be continued, and all the breeds that have been handed down are not strong genes. It's just a genetic weakening from generation to generation.

In the Three Kingdoms period, there were also handsome dragon horses like Chitu and Lu by chance. But after a thousand years, the horses in the entire Central Plains are not much bigger than wild asses.

This is also an important reason why in the past thousand years, the Central Plains countries have always been in a passive situation when facing the northern wolf clan.

The Song State has always been difficult to parry against the Liao State and the Jin State. Even fought with the small Western Xia for decades, a very important reason is because they lost the most important production area of war horses!

You must know that those invincible legions in history that are brilliant, prestigious, and famous through the ages are all regular cavalry legions! Large-scale. Well-trained, well-equipped, and logistically supported by supplies are the real reasons why the invincible legions in history have been able to sweep the world.

If you don't use cavalry as the main force, you can still leave a prestige by simply using infantry as the main force of engagement. There are only two in history. The Yue family army also has the Qi family army.

Even these two infantry-based units still had a large number of cavalry units to pursue the remnants of the enemy. In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is a well-deserved division of kings.

The horses in the victorious army have been used to the extreme. Whether they were captured or bought, they couldn't make up a lot of tall horses that could be sent to be used as heavy knights' mounts.

By the time Gao Yang formed a heavy cavalry, he could only barely put together a team of 2,000 people. Gao Yang can solve other things, but he really has no way to solve the problem of war horses.

"You can think of the hip horse. Not to mention the large base, some of these excellent horses have enough weight, stamina and size to support your heavy cavalry. Origin paused, then added, "At least it can support a short-range charge." Also, it's not just the strong horses that you're missing. The need for ordinary light cavalry and pack horses that required heavy loads was even greater. ”

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and after a slight sigh, he said thoughtfully, "Xixia?" It's not impossible. , the five northwestern states are also to be recaptured. The horse-producing lands of Hetao and Lingzhou are very important. ”

Leaning back in his chair, he reached out and tapped lightly on the table, and continued to say to himself, "So be it." After capturing Yunzhou City, he turned the direction of his main attack to the west. First subdued the Zhe family, attacked Western Xia all the way, and seized the horse-producing land of the Hetao. ”

In order to obtain enough war horses to form a vital cavalry force, Gao Yang had to revise his original battle plan. After capturing Yunzhou, he went all the way east to attack the land of Yanyun to the west to seize the important horse-producing land, the Hetao Plain.

It's just that there is a saying in the world that plans can never catch up with change.

Just when Gao Yang was actively making pre-war preparations for going north to Yunzhou. Something happened that forced him to overturn all his plans.

On the last day of August, Wanyan Zongwang, who was far away in Yanjing City, was ordered by Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng to personally lead nearly 80,000 troops south to attack the Song Dynasty!

"Powerful space-time error correction ability." After Gao Yang got the news, he couldn't help frowning and sighed lightly.

"Hmm." The origin also echoed and said, "That's true. After Wanyan Zonghan's Left Route Army was defeated, no one thought that Wanyan Zongwang would have such courage and dare to go south to attack the Song State with the Right Route Army alone! He was too daring. Once his army was besieged in the Song State and swallowed up by the tidal wave of troops, the Jin Kingdom was finished. ”

"Not counting my victorious army. At this moment in the Song Dynasty, the number of registered armies in the country was still as high as one million. Even if many of them are paid empty, there are at least seven or eight hundred thousand, right? And that's not counting the militia forces everywhere. Is Wanyan Zongwang bold enough, or does he simply look down on the army of the Song Dynasty? Gao Yang pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed with doubt, and he fell into deep thought.

"Don't think about it so much." Yuan Di said calmly: "What you need to consider now is whether to immediately terminate the battle plan to the north and go south to rescue the Song Dynasty." ”

After a pause, he continued, "According to the original historical trajectory, Wanyan Zongwang's right army defeated all Song armies in less than two months with its own strength alone, and entered Bianliang City. If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jing, who pretended to be a ghost, did something about the Liujia Divine Army, he was scared for several days. The Wanyan Zonghan Left Route Army, which went south from Taiyuan City, couldn't get anything at all. Now, it's time for you to make a decision. (To be continued......)
