It's kind of a kind of death and then life, okay, it's not.
"Nearly 800 armorers" Lian Chengbo's eyes widened: "There are so many armorers" The so-called armor warriors are swordsmen who wear light armor and carry shields, and if they are counted in the strict sense, they really cannot be called armor warriors.
However, the eight hundred swordsmen wearing piercing armor marched in a phalanx, which was really enough to bluff people.
In terms of the arrangement of the Jin soldiers, Liu Yan adopted a relatively simple method, which was to distribute as many spears as possible and make them spearmen, and only a few people with martial arts would arrange short soldiers.
In fact, as long as the spearmen can ensure the integrity of the military formation, they can go into battle without teaching too many martial arts, which is the most suitable for the Jin people who lack training.
In terms of long-range output, Liu Yan originally thought that it would be relatively simple, but the fact once again caught him a little off guard, and the total number of Jin soldiers close to four thousand actually only selected less than five hundred archers.
However, the real situation is really like that, archery is really far from as simple as it seems, just how to shoot arrows well is a science.
In addition, archers are not only called archers if they can shoot one kind of arrow, they need to master at least three skills: accumulation, diffusion, and projectile, while elite archers need to have a certain degree of accuracy.
With nearly 5,000 troops, about 2,500 civilians, infantry on foot and wagons loaded with baggage, the team set off in a mighty way.
"Your Majesty, we only have five days to take the Pound City."
Ji Chang still looked haggard, but after sleeping for two days, he finally didn't look like he was dying.
"Five days later, it's likely to be a new rainy season," he said. ” Liu Yan nodded lightly, but his attention was on the other side.
It was the first time for the Han Department to dispatch such a large-scale army, how to maintain the march of the team is a big question, Xu Zheng and Lu Tai need to take a small number of elite soldiers to constantly swim around the entire team, restrain the soldiers, and constantly correct the marching speed of some parts.
Xu was shouting while he was on patrol, and he told the soldiers who went to battle what this battle meant to them.
In fact, he didn't say too profound thoughts, and there was no too profound truth, Xu Zheng only asked the soldiers to ask themselves how they were doing in the Han Department and how Liu Yan treated them.
Then, Xu Zheng would also give some guiding shouts, but he didn't say "After this battle, I will marry a wife when I go home", but simply told the soldiers "If this battle is lost, think about whether there are such days and whether you are willing to live back to the precarious life you used to have."
Liu Yan was very pleased to see Xu Zheng's behavior, it was not easy to lead the troops, it was not easy to let the soldiers be banned, and it was even more difficult to make the team have centripetal force.
The time for the rise of the Han Dynasty is too short, and there is no commendable "historical heritage" in itself, so how to make the soldiers have a sense of war is a big problem.
If you want to have your own "historical heritage", unless you publicize the identity of the Han people, then at least the majestic legacy of the two Han Dynasty; The other is to let them create the history of Hanbu by themselves.
Lu Tai led the troops in another way, from beginning to end with a straight face, he could barely say anything, but he led by example in everything he did, and he also ate and slept with the soldiers.
The subordinates of the two unified armies are completely different, so that Liu Yan can see their respective shining points, and he also sees that many grassroots sergeants are relatively active.
The combat effectiveness of an army depends not only on the supreme military commander, but also on the officers who can carry out orders layer by layer.
Liu Yan wanted to engage in the training of grassroots officers, but unfortunately, something would happen when he repeatedly wanted to do it.
Twenty system peasants were also on the way from the resettlement site to Jijin City, and Liu Yan planned to let them build barracks, shooting ranges, and blacksmith shops after setting up camp.
The barracks and shooting range were naturally taken into account the need to replenish the supply of troops, after all, the enemy army was more than 10,000 people, and if the plan was wrong, it was foreseeable that it would be a positional battle.
The reason for the construction of the blacksmith shop is even simpler, the weapons will definitely be damaged or even destroyed during the battle, and the destruction is naturally supplemented by the baggage, but the destruction needs to be repaired.
Moreover, Liu Yan and Ji Chang have already communicated, in the future, Jijin City will be a bridgehead for the defense of Gaomi County, and it is also necessary to be prepared to attract the enemy over there and fight a long-term positional battle, and there will be nothing wrong with making some logistical preparations as soon as possible.
"There may be some changes to the plan."
Ji Chang said with a kind of depression: "There are too many people snooping around, and I tried to drive them away several times, and I drove them away repeatedly, waiting for our scouts to return, and those people stuck to me again." ” The original plan was to divide the march into three parts.
The elite of the first part served as the lead, and arrived at Jijin City first with lightning speed, and launched an attack on the core force of the Hu people; The troops of the second part followed suit, either as a reserve or as a deterrent in the later stages; The third part is, of course, the baggage of the rear team.
Liu Yanyou sent scouts around the area, and he knew very well what the situation was around.
Within twenty miles of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the dense red dots, but the scattered red dots were really so many that Liu Yan frowned deeply.
Twenty miles away, Liu Yan found no less than five enemy troops, three of which were definitely more than 5,000 in number, and the other two were about 1,000.
"Those people" Ji Chang said about the wandering grazing ones, and he was worried: "Seeing Xiqian Bailiao re-erecting the imperial court flag, I don't know if it will be attacked." ” It's about the city full of defense holes in Cabinet County.
Liu Yan's instructions to Xiqian Bailiao were so simple that they asked Xiqian Bailiao to erect the banner of Hou Zhao the day after the Han army was dispatched, indicating that the cabinet county had returned to the system of Hou Zhao.
Originally, Liu Yan thought that if the Houzhao banner was erected, the cabinet county would be judged by the system to be lost, but because there were still more than half of the green dots and blue dots in the cabinet county, the system judged that the cabinet county was not lost.
This made Liu Yan breathe a sigh of relief, he was deeply afraid that he would be judged to be lost, and as a result, the town center on Lingshan Island was gone.
In these years, some Hu people have been deeply sinicized, but some Jin Han people have carried out Hu, and Ji Chang is obviously the latter.
Ji Chang was really worried about whether those Hu people would ignore the banner hung by Xiqian Bailiao, after all, Cabinet County was the first county seat occupied by the Han Dynasty, although it did not produce much benefit, but it seemed to be very meaningful, and it was also a morale encouragement for the Han Department, and it was inevitable that there would be some side effects if it was lost.
Speaking of which, Liu Yan's worries are definitely deeper than Ji Chang's, but he didn't show it.
That's because Liu Yan knows that some things can't be solved by worrying about them, and what can be solved now is to quickly capture Jijin City and attract the attention of the enemy:
