Yue Fei and others followed the convoy north.

When we were approaching Zhangqiu, we heard that the Su Ding tribe on the edge of the old Yellow River had fought several times with the imperial envoy of Zhongshan Anping Jiedu, Zhang Kai. Liangshan's cavalry came out in all directions and annihilated the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Kai Kai.

Although the opponent now has an army of 15,000, which is far superior to Su Ding's troops, it is as if they are blind. Not only are no scouts able to come over, but even the people have fled in all directions, and no one has taken the initiative to provide intelligence to the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the benefits of purging the powerful and evil gentry last year became apparent.

The original gentry were either given back their land, imprisoned or even executed.

Either the land will be redeemed and people will be concentrated in the state city.

You can engage in business and investment, but you are not allowed to go out at will.

Without these people to provide food, shelter, and information for the officers and soldiers... Zhang Kai was also a clever woman who was trapped in the north of the old Yellow River and could not even cross the river.

Yue Fei and others continued to move forward not far, and met several more convoys in the north of Zhangqiu City.

This time it’s not just about food.

There are also a large number of daggers, ring-headed knives, shields, armors, as well as bows and arrows.

Arrows piled up on the cart.

The atmosphere of war is quite obvious.

A few miles away from the riverside camp, there is a field hospital near the city with dozens of doctors and assistants.

This field hospital is large enough for a team of 5,000 people.

Besides, there are also medical doctors accompanying the army, who have military status. They provide emergency first aid on the battlefield and try to save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare is responsible for hospitals.

It was approaching dusk, and smoke was curling up in the camp. The gang leaders began to cook on fire and turn the food into hot food.

Some vehicles also deliver dry food directly. Steamed dry rice can be stored for a long time.

There are also pancakes, steamed buns, etc., which are also easy to preserve.

Just don’t ask for taste.

If the military situation is not urgent, the soldiers still prefer to eat freshly cooked food, with hot soup and rice.

Many people were watching the excitement and novelty around.

Especially the heavy-duty carriages attracted a lot of people's attention.

……

Li Gefei and Li Qingzhao were also in the crowd.

The father and daughter were also attracted by the big car.

Li Gefei was also amazed by the mountains of grain bags, which weighed nearly ten thousand kilograms and could be pulled by a carriage.

"We read ancient books, study bronze inscriptions, and poems all day long... I didn't expect that the things in this world have reached this level, such as mirrors, glass lamps, glass cups, lamps, lighters, fine salt, cement, windmills, and so on. This big car in front of me……"

"anything else. Li Qingzhao pointed to the carriage with a smile and said,"This carriage carries cans, including various fruits, meats, and vegetables. My daughter heard about it, so she specially brought the adults to see it.""

Cans are also a product just made by the Construction Department.

Sure enough, under the guidance of Li Qingzhao, the people unloading the truck brought down baskets of cans made of glass.

Since glass can be made, cans have been put on the agenda.

Relatively speaking, glass Difficult, canning is easy.

Even pottery can be made, but it is more troublesome.

With glass, it is quite simple to blow a large number of round bottles.

After boiling in a large pot, add ingredients that have been cooked at high temperature or pickled. Then seal it with wax and store it for a long time.

The cans produced by the Liangshan Construction Department in front of you in cooperation with the Munitions Department are divided into several categories such as pickled fish, pickled meat, pickled cucumbers, apples, etc.

It is not to satisfy the soldiers' greed.

If they are on a long-distance raid, Or if you are fighting abroad for a long time, canned food is very useful.

Along with pancakes, rice and other marching rations, you can quickly supplement protein and various vitamins.

It saves you the time of marching to cook, collect grain and buy meat.

Don’t think this is a trivial matter, physical fitness , morale, running thousands of miles, food is definitely the most important thing to maintain morale and physical fitness. The feudal army also attaches great importance to logistics and supplies. Good logistics is definitely a reflection of national strength and is also crucial to maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.

The Qin Army They could walk forty to sixty miles a day, and so did the Han army. More than two thousand years later, the dusty Han army forts were excavated. Archaeological experts found a large amount of dried meat and grain in the Han army camps.

Meat, eggs, staple foods , there is no shortage of them.

Even in a small fort thousands of miles away from Chang'an, the Han army can ensure the intake of meat.

By the time of the Tang Dynasty, logistics was even better.

A regiment of one hundred people in the Tang army could have up to six Ten horses.

Except for a few war horses, they are all draft horses for transporting supplies.

This is the product of the Fujun system and the equal land system where farmers are extremely wealthy. The combat effectiveness of the Tang army is also the strongest when the Fujun system is intact. Jiedushi Although the army recruited soldiers and were professional soldiers, their performance was really not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty army.

When it came to the Ming army...especially the Ming army in the middle and late period, they were treated like serfs, dressed like beggars, and formed a group of exiles. Prisoners, hereditary slave military households who could not escape, usually had difficulty eating, let alone meat. Once ordered to go on an expedition, civilian officials were responsible for providing logistics and military supplies, and starvation was common. The

Ming army suffered from insufficient logistics supplies. There are many examples of mutiny and even direct rebellion.

The marching speed of the Ming army, due to various factors such as logistics, military discipline, morale and other factors, can only be ten miles at most. It is a miracle to be able to go fifteen miles.

Wars in the late Ming Dynasty often Troops were mobilized from Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan to the north.

It was normal to travel for half a year. During the Battle of Sarhu, the Sichuan army was transferred to Liaodong, and even after walking for half a year, they were still late after arriving in Liaodong. All friendly forces were annihilated. They were still Driving around in the woods of Kuandian.

The logistics and marching are really unparalleled...

Even in the Song Dynasty, even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the army was at its worst, the performance, logistics, and ordnance of the army were all crushing the Ming army. (It’s so cool to watch. For novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And the Song Army’s logistics performance, judging from everything in front of us, was completely crushed by the Liangshan Army.……

"Alas~~!"

Li Gefei sighed with a heavy look on his face.

"The fight started, the fight started!"

At this time, someone pointed to the northwest and shouted.

Li Gefei, Li Qingzhao and his daughter, Yue Fei, Brother Yun and others not far away all saw the fighting on the south bank of the Yellow River.

After all, there were more than 15,000 officers and soldiers. The Jiedu envoy Zhang Kai was also a fierce bandit in the past. After a stalemate for several days, the entire army crossed the river from the upper reaches and set up camp. Zhang Kai personally led a small number of elite cavalry to come to scout and call the formation.

From a distance, everyone watched. There were a large number of officers and soldiers' flags dozens of miles away from the river beach, which stirred up a lot of smoke and dust from the river beach to the official road.

There were also Liangshan Qingqi there, constantly harassing the officers and soldiers setting up strongholds.

The shouts of killing were endless.

Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves , smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the flags could be seen waving in the distance.

Zhangqiu County and several rear camps were all behind the front camp of the Liangshan Army, forming a"pin" shape.

A few knowledgeable people were not too worried about the officers and soldiers meeting each other. They came to fight.

But the people who had gone out of the city to watch the excitement panicked, and most of them began to flee back into the city. Fortunately, the people guarding the city gate were from the Security Department, and the team was led by veterans from Liangshan, so there was no chaos at all.[]

Looking close, at least ten or twenty miles away, it is still high on the embankment outside the city. If the officers and soldiers went up the river beach to the official road, they would not be able to see it at all.

The vanguard had a small number of elite troops and posed no threat to the main camp of Liangshan Camp across the official road, river embankment, and river beach.

Su Ding is also experienced. From the Forbidden Army to the instructor of Zengtou City, he is highly skilled and has rich experience in leading troops. He has been promoted step by step to the Liangshan Army. From Dutou to Commander, and then to Qianhu, he has been in charge. The next half step.

With such a general and a Liangshan Army garrison under his command, even if there are more than 15,000 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, it is impossible for them to be defeated by the opponent at once.

Moreover, Zhang Fang took the risk to cross the river, let alone set up a formation. Most of the main force was probably not even separated from the formation, and was in a mess.

I am afraid that Zhang Fang, the military governor, was also afraid of being attacked by the Liangshan Army, so he hurriedly brought his elite troops to call for formation, which also gave the main force time to delay the formation of the army.

Li's father and daughter and most of the people returned to the city and followed the crowd to the top of Zhangqiu City.

Standing on the city wall more than ten meters high, I saw more than 3,000 soldiers and infantrymen rushing forward.

At the front was a general with a helmet on his head, a spear in his hand, riding a horse to call for formation in front of the Liangshan camp.

They were too far apart to hear what was being shouted, but they could only hear the rumble of horse hooves, the chaotic footsteps of over a thousand people running, and the shouts of countless people shouting together.

Li Gefei and Li Qingzhao both had serious expressions on their faces.

I had expected this scene since I heard that Shijiedu was coming to conquer.

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Their class and experience make the father and daughter extremely conflicted.

Countless people looked at the battlefield in the northwest, but no one paid attention. A cavalry of dozens of people came from the south and had also arrived at Zhangqiu City.

……

"..Boss, I didn’t expect that Qizhou started the fight first."

"At the junction of Yuncheng and Yanzhou, Jeju and Xuzhou, and Shanzhou, when the officers and soldiers first arrived, the two sides were still fighting on sentries."

"There are very few officers, soldiers and cavalry, and their combat power is not good. They are also suffering setbacks there."

"To the south is Yang Wen, who came from Jinghu and has fewer elites. I am afraid he is not as good as Zhang Fang here. Zhang Fang brought the Hedong Army, which has many bow and arrow clubs, and the people are brave and courageous."

Wang Lun rode his own Zhaoye Lion. He didn't wear heavy armor. He just added a layer of leather armor on top of his white clothes. This was much lighter. It was impossible for him to wear a strong sword. This layer of leather armor was still strongly requested by everyone. The battle was fought in

Yunzhou. Wang Lun led Zhu Wu, Zhu Gui, Du Qian and others to patrol Qizhou first, and then went south from Qizhou to catch up with the main force.

"Zhang Fang was just reckless and barbaric. He wanted to take advantage of his status as a veteran and his elite troops, so he wanted to gain a head start and give Su Ding a disincentive. Wang

Lun looked at it for a while, then shook his head with a smile and said,"But this person is brave but not clever. The infantry is on the official road side, and the cavalry is on the river beach side. There are shrubs and gravel there, and the ground looks dry." As for Mudang, as long as Su Ding seizes the opportunity, it will not be difficult for the people to break from five thousand to fifteen thousand!".
