Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 151 Everything is difficult at the beginning

  The last time Feiqian went from Luoyang to Xiangyang, there were few people and few vehicles and horses, so there was not much feeling of marching, but this time it was different. Nearly a thousand people marched in a mighty way.

   It looks like there are quite a lot of people.

Fei Qian figured out that this is only a thousand people. If Cao Cao's so-called 800,000 troops went south to herd horses during the Battle of Chibi, the momentum must be extremely majestic. No wonder they scared a large group of people in Jiangdong at that time It’s all leaked—of course, this number is also concealed by Cao A—but it also shows that there are many people, tens of thousands, and it is really boundless...

  Besides, as far as ordinary people in ancient times, their math skills were not very good. It would be very good for scouts to count how many flags there were. How could there be a way to calculate in detail how many troops Cao Cao really had at that time.

  So when there are tens of thousands of soldiers participating in the war, if the propaganda to the enemy is exaggerated, it is basically not easy to detect.

  The ancients marched, if there were no special circumstances, they needed to march like Xia Houyuan. Generally speaking, the speed of marching was not determined by the fastest part of the team, but by the slowest one.

   And the slowest thing in an army is the baggage. So Fei Qian knows why sometimes in ancient wars, sometimes the commanders of both sides know that there are some key points, and the victory of the battle can be determined a few days in the morning, but it is a pity that it is not so good at the end. It is because the marching speed of troops does not depend on people, but often depends on cattle and horses.

  It is not impossible to reduce the burden of light soldiers and move quickly, but this means abandoning the logistics team, heavy troops, and all people and things that cannot move quickly, which means that there is no backup, even with light cavalry.

Even in the Mongolian army, which is famous for its maneuverability in later generations, one person can rotate several horses, but that kind of spare horse cannot travel long distances, otherwise it will not be able to get rest, which will also lead to a decrease in horsepower. Once a chance, if you win, you can wait for the follow-up troops to catch up slowly, but if you fail, it is often a disastrous defeat. Therefore, generally speaking, the generals who command the army will not easily abandon their supplies and light cavalry to rush forward unless they have to. of.

Fei Qian used to believe in horses and horses marching for hundreds of miles, but now that he sees it for real, it is all nonsense. It is enough for you to let Chitu run for a day, and you have to work hard for 24 hours, so you don’t need to be called Chitu. It's a rabbit, forget about calling it a familiar rabbit, the blood that can't dissipate heat effectively can explode a horse's heart...

  Why the last battle and last stand can be recorded, because it is so rare, except for those few successful cases, most of the troops who tried to abandon their supplies to fight in history were completely defeated in the end.

Therefore, generally speaking, the luggage is arranged at the rear of the central army, and it is also in the protection circle of the entire army. If the roads are not so narrow and difficult to pass, in most cases, some light cavalry troops will be arranged on the two wings of the army. Perform cruising maneuvers.

  Attacking the supply troops and destroying the enemy's food and grass are often the turning points of a war.

In the military system of the Han Dynasty, there were five people in one army, the second army was why, and the fifth army was a team. Therefore, Huang Cheng and those from the Huang family happened to be delegated to work as the commander and team leader, and the extra two or three were led by Huang Zhong. As a messenger, he commanded the Chinese army.

  Is it about playing forward? Liu Pan has been arranged to do it.

   Fei Qian guessed that the reason why Liu Biao sent Liu Pan was also part of surveillance? In this case, then simply ask Liu Pan to lead two hundred soldiers to the front to clear the way. Since it cannot be avoided anyway, it is better to ask Liu Pan to play a role.

  Fei Qian turned his face and saw Huang Zhong happened to be strolling past his carriage on horseback. He quickly called Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng..."

  Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng controlled the horse's speed, paralleled Fei Qian's horse, and said, "Farewell Fei, what's the matter?"

   "... I remember that there seems to be a post station ten miles ahead. Seeing that it is getting late, how about camping there at night?"

  Huang Zhong looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll make arrangements now!"

   Fei Qian looked at Huang Zhong's back, and sighed softly with some regret.

   Having said it several times, Huang Zhong still doesn’t want to call him “Ziyuan”, but keeps calling him “Fei Biejia”, which is somewhat intriguing...

  This is a less than ideal title.

Although it is correct to call it this way, in the Han Dynasty, people were used to addressing official positions, and they didn't care whether they were incumbents. For example, Liu Bei has always been called Liu Pingyuan. Such a title made Fei Qian feel that there was still some distant meaning in it.

  After all, how can "Fei Biejia" be closer to "Ziyuan"?

  Before when Fei Qian saw that Huang Zhong was willing to go with him, he secretly rejoiced, thinking that his charm had finally played a role, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong's "Farewell to Fei" to make Fei Qian fall from the clouds to the ground.

  The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

  If Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng hadn't found a hope for Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng to heal his son, Huang Zhong probably really didn't want to accompany him on such a trip.

   But how do you say it—a good start is half the battle?

  However, there seems to be a saying--one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety...

   Forget it, anyway, let’s do this first.

  Starting from Xiangyang, not far to the north is Nanyang.

  Fei Qian pondered, the first stop is naturally to go to Nanyang to find Yuan Shu, and then go to Suanzao to find Yuan Shao...

  Cao Cao should also be at Suanzao, but I don’t know if Liu Bei’s trio has come. As for the others, Fei Qian said that they seem to be negligible.

  After all, the next time will be like a big wave washing the sand. Those who seem to be good now, but in fact the gold content is not enough, and they are all eliminated one by one in the end. Only those who are full of weight are finally retained.

  Like Cao Liusun.

  In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guanzhang described is the representative of loyalty that has been rumored for thousands of years—

  Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, that is the God of Martial Arts who is known as the unparalleled hero who rides thousands of miles alone...

  Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, that is a macho man who got on his horse, took a spear, took the general's head, got off his horse and drew some little **** with a paintbrush...

  Fei Qian felt a little excited when he thought about it, but before that, there is one thing that must be done first...

   Discuss Dong Zhan...Three British Wars against Lu Bu...Hehe...Anyway, I am going to get involved in the chapter of war...Recently I am studying the map, saying that Yali Mountain is big...
