Chapter Ninety-Six: Not Enough to Succeed

Thank you for the new and old book friends Kangkang, Leng Jiutou, and Happy Bad Guy for your rewards.

PS: I'm very sorry, I didn't set up the chapter upload schedule last night. The chapter that was missing yesterday will be filled in today.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

It is impossible for the 500,000-strong Southern Expeditionary Army to be assembled in a short period of time, and at the same time, it is impossible to set up a separate assembly place in one place, after all, the concentration of 500,000 people who need to be supported by the state in a small area will definitely cause a lot of disaster. Therefore, it is not wrong for 500,000 people to assemble in South County, but it is scattered all over South County.

At present, it is not clear how many people are assembled in place, but after asking for instructions, he divided them into 5,000 soldiers for Heng Zhan, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people are actually not the number left behind.

Great Qin was not prepared for the attack on southern Xinjiang, from weapons to grain. When the food, grass and weapons are not enough, it is not ordinary to train 20,000 people to become soldiers, and Lu Zhe wants to train soldiers who fight in the mountains and forests, which is a type of military that Great Qin has never had.

The large reserves of the spears of the Southern Expeditionary Army are not suitable for fighting in the environment of southern Xinjiang, just imagine what it would be like to wield a spear with a minimum of three meters in an environment full of trees. It must be blocked by the trunk of the tree when fighting.

Of course, the Qin army, which had repeatedly attacked southern Xinjiang, also discovered this problem, but I don't know why Lu Dao did not make changes to the weapon.

Lu Zhe found Ren Huan again and put forward the idea of improving weapons.

Ren Huan, who has always behaved very well and spoken, did not agree this time, he smiled bitterly: "This matter is very complicated. ”

The reason why Ge Spear is not suitable for fighting in the forest is clear to many people, and the reason why he didn't make changes is understood under Lu Zhe's side knock!

It turned out that on the one hand, it was the rigid regulations of Great Qin on the use of soldiers' weapons; On the other hand, in addition to Shang Zaofang, the Qin army will provide weapons for the army, and several big families are also selling weapons to the army. Such as the Wang family in Guanzhong, the Ba family in Ba County, and the Meng family in Taiyuan.

"There are even arms dealers in Great Qin? Don't they all say that in ancient times, it was an official organization that made weapons! ”

Probably understanding the reason why he couldn't change his weapon, Lu Zhe, who had a concept in his heart, felt very helpless. What he could imagine was not that the army was unaware of the difficulty of fighting in the forest environment, or that the army did not want to replace weapons that were convenient for fighting in the forest. Rather, it was a few families that supplied weapons, and they were obstructed by the Qin army's system of stipulating what titles could only be used with what weapons.

The conclusion he came to made Lu Zhe's thoughts become a little weird, he really couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen in Great Qin.

After the First Emperor unified Shenzhou, the majesty was boundless, and the light that was more evenly heated than the sun shrouded the entire land of Shenzhou, and when he was in power, several families were able to influence the army's choice of weapons. What's going on, what's going on?

There was no need for Ren Huan to explain to Lu Zhe the entanglement of Great Qin's upper echelons, let alone how terrifying the influence of the existence of each family was. Instead, he began to ask about the training.

"The soldiers have been selected." Lu Zhe had a bitter face: "Weapons and grain ......"

"Huh?" Of course, Ren Huan knew the shortage of weapons and grain, and he said sonorously: "This army is related to whether or not you can successfully conquer southern Xinjiang, and the old man hopes that you can live up to expectations." ”

This is a typical "both horses run and do not provide grass", since ancient times training is not a simple thing, the physical consumption of soldiers during training is very large, weapons can be used in rotation if they are insufficient, and they can practice a fart if they are not full!

Unable to change weapons, unable to increase the supply of grain and grass, Lu Zhe, who had not achieved a single goal, left the Chinese army's tent a little depressed.

When he returned to his military tent, he hadn't walked in yet, and Meng San told Heng Zhan that he had been here for a while.

When Lu Zhe saw Heng Zhan again, he found that this guy seemed to have suffered some blow, but he had not seen his eyes in the dark for more than ten days, and the whole person looked even thinner.

"How?"

"How's that?"

"I mean, did the deputy marshal allocate more grain and grass?"

"Nope!"

The two looked at each other for a long time and sighed at the same time.

Heng Zhan was extremely sad: "There are not enough weapons, food and grass are insufficient, how can this soldier be trained?" ”

Lu Zhe, who knew very well that it was useless to complain about the difficulties, didn't say much, he asked about Heng Zhan's preparations, and learned that Heng Zhan's 5,000-strong team had been reorganized, but there were almost no grassroots officers......

"Officer?" Lu Zhe was surprised: "It's just that it's being reorganized, and it's okay to arrange the pro-soldiers to lead the team, what kind of officers do you want?" ”

"I don't have as many soldiers as you." Heng Zhan looked bitter, "Zhan thought that the second marshal had arranged manpower for you." It turns out that there is no one? ”

I see! When Daqin drilled the army, the establishment was determined early, and the basic establishment such as Wu, Shi, and Tun would be distributed at the beginning, and these army commanders, Shi chiefs, and tun chiefs were all led by people with titles from the beginning, and it was not the model of redistribution after the instructor was taught in later generations.

"Battle?" Lu Zhe beckoned, "You come with me." ”

Heng Zhan glanced at Lu Zhe strangely and silently followed.

There are many reasons why the orthodox Great Qin army can be formed immediately after being recruited, one is that it has twenty knights, the second is that veterans lead new soldiers, and the third is that it has a sound militarization system.

After the head of Great Qin Qiantou was recruited, the person with the title could immediately assume the role of an officer, which was the credit of Daqin's continuous construction of "military ~ country ~ lord ~ righteousness" for more than 100 years. Well, in fact, the continuous wars have not stopped at all, and having a knighthood means that they continue to serve in the military, and most of the grassroots officers already have a lot of experience in leading troops.

Lu Zhe brought Heng Zhan to the exercise venue, and at a glance, he saw that a large number of young people were learning to arrange the whole team under the constraints of their own soldiers.

The original Six Kingdoms did not have a training base like Daqin's Lantian Battalion, so after being recruited, they basically drove ducks to the battlefield after a little drill, what military qualities can soldiers have under this model?

During the Warring States Period, except for a few fixed formations that had been formed for a long time, most of the six countries fought in a chaotic manner to let the charge swarm, and when they needed to retreat, they just ran away without their lives. In this way, the victory cannot be maximized, and the slightest loss is a great rout that is chased behind and covered.

The reason why Lu Zhe's first step in training was to line up, not to let these people learn to line up the military formation, in the environment of southern Xinjiang, the following military formation must be paranoid, plus the brain is caught by the door. He didn't want them to learn anything to walk in the right way, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have the time.

Heng Zhan looked at it for a while, and he didn't understand it, and asked, "Just let them keep scattering, and then re-line up." What's the use? ”

Lu Zhe replied with a smile: "It's useful, it's very good!" Initially let these casual guys learn what it means to obey! ”

"Oh?" Heng Zhan looked at it for a while: "If you stand slowly, you will be whipped if you stand in the wrong position?" This ......", he wanted to say whether it was too exaggerated, or that he was worried about causing a mutiny.

"I know what you want to say." Lu Zhe said very calmly: "There is not enough food, those who do well eat more, and those who do not do well eat less will be whipped ......." Oh, believe me, this constant 'carrot and stick' strategy is very useful. ”

Heng Zhan still couldn't help but say, "Don't cause a mutiny." ”

"Huh?" squeaked, and Lu Zhe didn't know whether Lu Dao was contemptuous or confident: "You don't understand, these people have never thought of resisting from the bottom of their bones." ”

Heng Zhan was surprised and asked, "For what?" ”

Lu Zhe said: "Without it, I'm scared!" ”

Well, yes, since most of these people are prisoners ......of war, they must remember the devil's army with bloody heads pinned to their waists, and the deep-seated fear will never dissipate.
