Sweep the World

Chapter 253: : Show the lower muscles

Huan Wen is absolutely telling the truth. The army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was around 200,000. Even if the first gate lords of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the fourth-ranked Huan family contributed this time, they would only add another 30,000 to the 40,000 troops prepared by the imperial court. A combatable soldier. 【】

The 70,000 Jin Army in Yangzhou, do you know how many cavalry there are? Excluding some scouts who must ride on horses, the 70,000 Jin army only has more than 8,000 cavalry.

"Human's light cavalry is numerous, counted as Zhao Jun's regular establishment, it amounts to 70,000, excluding the regular establishment, the total is close to 150,000." Huan Wen smiled bitterly: "Wang Luan greeted the nomadic tribes to come and serve. There are many responders from various tribes, and Hu Ren Qingqi will not be less than 60,000..."

Can you swear? With 60,000 cavalry, it would need at least 80,000 horses, that is, the Huren can easily come up with such a number of horses.

It must be noted that a war horse is a war horse, and a horse is a horse. Not every batch of horses can become a war horse. Quite a lot of horses cannot become a war horse until they die. They can only pull carts or pack things. According to the normal ratio, there are at least five non-war horses behind a war horse, which means that only the Huren can handle it.

By the way, Liu Yan once thought that wild horses can be trained to become war horses when they are caught, but that is simply a wrong perception. Wild horses may be able to become war horses, but that is only a very small part. There cannot be five horses. That's a simple truth. Warhorses need to start training when the horse is less than one year old. The training lasts one or two years, but most Mustangs are horses over one year old. Catching wild horses can only be used to breed the next generation of horses, and to train qualified horses from the foal stage, not for the wild horses themselves.

Although Xuzhou has mountainous areas, most areas are plain terrain. In such a terrain, if there is no water system extending in all directions, it can be imagined that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not even dare to glance at it.

Here comes the big question. It is said that the Northern Expedition, the more than 200,000 Jin troops in the country collected only about 20,000 cavalry in a circle, why the Northern Expedition?

"When the officer came, I saw so many horses in the county army..." Huan Wen looked at Liu Yan with piercing eyes and asked, "Presumably the county government doesn't lack cavalry?"

Liu Yan didn't want to know what the Eastern Jin Xiao~Dynasty was doing. He was very interested in Huan Wen. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Would you like to see my army?"

Huan Wen was stunned when he heard the words "my army", and then smiled and saluted: "Thank you."

Speaking of which, anyone who was conferred by the Eastern Jin dynasty, from the perspective of his name, belonged to the officials of the Sima royal family, whether it was Liu Yan, the county prince, or Murong Jah, the Yan king, or even the Eastern Jin dynasty. ~ The generations of county princes from Zhang's Liang Kingdom who have been respectful in the court, they are all.

Since he is a courtier of other people, even if he is named, in fact, there is no such thing as "my army", but Liu Yan doesn't care, he doesn't care in the true sense.

The Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~Ting also held its own Zhengshuo name, and some regimes also recognized the Dongjin Xiao~chao~Ting’s Zhengshuo name, because there was really no more suitable one except the Sima royal family. If you don't recognize the small ~ imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, do you recognize the cruel stone Jie? Obviously, the various forces are more willing to deal with the weak and incompetent Sima royal family, not with the brutal and aggressive Shijie, even if Shijie occupying the Central Plains is more like Zhengshuo in the true sense.

Do you know how big a camp is needed when 50,000 troops are stationed? In particular, this army has seven to eighty thousand war horses, plus the animal power of horses and cattle used to pull carts. It takes a full radius of about twenty miles, which is not a simple camp, but also needs to include the space for horse activities.

The Han army appeared to be extremely wealthy. They had tents made of clean white cloth. There were as many tents as there were rules. The tents were triangular, and each tent could accommodate five people, that is, one army.

"Such a tent can actually accommodate ten people, but we found that being too crowded will cause the soldiers to feel gloomy." Liu Yan was playing a local tyrant. He said indifferently: "Since there is no shortage of tents, the arrangements should be looser. Give the soldiers enough space for internal activities."

Inside the opened tent is a row of straw mats on each side, blankets are stacked on the straw mats, and the innermost is a wooden square table and of course wooden pier chairs.

Huan Wen was frowning. Of course he could see that Liu Yan was showing off...or he had to admit that the tent was big, but he didn't believe that the soldiers of the Han Ministry were treated like this. He thought it was a special arrangement. Face engineering. He would think it was simpler in this way. Who would bring tables and wooden piers in battle? During the war, the simpler the supplies, the better, the less and the more convenient they are, so that they won’t bring unnecessary things.

The treatment can be fake, but a white tent with no end in sight will not be fake. With such a large number of tents, Huan Wen believed that the Han Dynasty was rich enough, only because the tents really used a little more fabric.

The barracks were well planned. The main road looked very smooth after repeated consolidation. A road with a width of at least six feet appeared straight, directly running through the entire barracks from the gate. Looking at the tents lined up on both sides of the main road, it is conceivable that as long as there is an order, there will be countless soldiers rushing to the main road, and a little training can open the battlefield.

When Huan Wen came, he had observed that there were at least six similar main roads in the Han camp. Looking at the distribution of the barracks, the force under Liu Yan was obviously not the kind of rabble that many people thought of the court, just because of the rabble. Can't put out such a neat camp.

A roar of horseshoes attracted Constant Temperature's attention. When he turned his head to look around, he saw that at least five thousand armored cavalry set out slowly, but he didn't know where he was going.

"That's... a cavalry, right?" Huan Wen is a knight, but he doesn't think that a knight in armor is a cavalry. He said sincerely: "The clan smelting strength and the number of craftsmen in the county are so many!"

Look, this is the real knowledgeable, knowing what kind of cavalry makes the difference, and knowing that only those equipped with matching armor and weapons can be regarded as sudden cavalry.

The Jin army also has assault cavalry, which is a kind of knights with iron armor, and the horses are not armored. They are mainly used for frontal combat. With the strength of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are only three thousand cavalry soldiers. It is not that there are no more iron armors, but a lack of qualified horses and knights. After all, the load-bearing ability of the horses must be qualified. Stirrups, even if you have stirrups, you don't necessarily ride a horse to become a knight, maybe you can only be a horse-riding infantry.

Liu Yan didn't speak. If he used modern language, he would be pretending to be a complete set, and the pretence has not been finished yet.

Those cavalry called assault cavalry are of course system cavalry, but they are only the first batch, and there will be two thousand system archers behind, and wait for the archers to finish.

Of course Huan Wen also saw the archers, but he didn't have much reaction.

Archers, in Huan Wen's eyes, they were Qingqi. Although they looked like they were wearing good leather armor, similar units were really ordinary.

Liu Yan didn't know that he failed to pretend to be a failure. If he knew that he would let the two thousand archers show off, let Huan Wen understand that the cavalry of those system archers and the Huren's light cavalry were basically the difference between heaven and earth.

The rumbling of horseshoes was chaotic, and Huan Wen was already in a good mood to talk about some business matters. He just said the word "Xiaguan", and the next moment the sound of neat stepping came from a distance.

It really is so neat that it is as if the drums are beating. The rhythmic and layered stepping sounds are made by about three thousand infantry. They line up in square formations, and each square looks absolutely neat. Neatly, every soldier is a straight line, no matter whether he is looking upright or obliquely.

Huan Wen found it strange that the infantry phalanx was followed by a large number of carriages, and the carriages were not loaded with grains, but a set of armor?

"Oh, those are heavy armors." Liu Yante said about the type and weight of the armors, and then said: "See those empty carriages?"

Huan Wen nodded in a daze, but in his heart he was surprised how the infantry could walk so neatly.

"Actually, I should have set off in a carriage." Liu Yan grinned: "It's just that Yuanzi had a walk on foot for a period of time to let Yuanzi see my infantry, and I would still take a carriage later."

Yuan Zi is Huan Wen’s cousin. Although only close friends and elders are suitable for coordinating, doesn’t Huan Wen claim to be an official to Liu Yan? Liu Yan also had the identity of calling Huanwen Biao. Among them is Liu Yan's nasty taste. After all, not everyone can chat and laugh with historical celebrities, and even call the table characters with the attitude of treating juniors~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Next, Huan Wen will see more and see with his own eyes. Seeing the wealthy concubines of the Han Bu, also saw the soldiers full of enthusiasm. What he was deeply impressed and puzzled by was that Liu Yan only took four years to rise up. What means was used to achieve such strength?

[Is it true that Liao Yidong or Goguryeo owns giant iron ore? Is it true that Baekje was conquered by Liu Yan and turned into a vassal? After Huan Wen was shocked once or twice, he was a little numb afterwards. Later, he also saw the food provided by the Han Dynasty, and learned that Liu Yan really used the Qin Jun's 20th-class system for rank treatment. Seeing that the food was enough, and it could be described as very rich, he was a little confused: [ How much money should it spend to raise the army like this? wrong! Even if you have money, food cannot be bought in Central Plains. 】

It was late afternoon after strolling around, and Huan Wen not only forgot to ask where the troops were going to go, but also didn't mention anything that should be finalized early.

"Squad horse, I never imagined that the Han Tribe had such strength. And it was only part of Liu Yan's army. I heard that his army had more than 150,000 troops?" The speaker was Yuan Qiao, who was the commander of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Huan. The great-great-grandson, the son of Yuan Gui, the son of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was the official of Huanwen for a long time. He said anxiously: "I heard that Qingzhou is experiencing great turmoil. It is obvious that Liu Yan found that the court's arrangements are fighting back, but he forbeared it, I'm afraid..."
