Chapter 537
in the Song Dynasty.
The [-] forbidden troops were dispatched from several garrison camps on the outskirts of Kaifeng Mansion. After the army was reorganized, under the leadership of Cao Bin, they were mighty and mighty, with flags covering the sun and dust flying, passing through Haozhou, Dingyuan, Chuzhou, etc. All the way south.
Along the way, generals of the Forbidden Army such as Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, and Wang Shenqi were sent to various state capitals along the Jianghuai Road to mobilize local troops and follow them to fight south.
After Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, he took the strong and brave soldiers from various feudal towns into the imperial army, and the rest of the prefecture was left as a reserve envoy, which is called the Xiang army.It is equivalent to the town soldiers stationed in the state in the Song Dynasty, also known as the standing army, which is actually the miscellaneous soldiers of the state capitals and some central agencies.
In the early Song Dynasty, it mainly came from recruitment, and was under the control of the state capitals and some central agencies.Later, the Xiang army mainly recruited hungry people, some of them came from exiled criminals, and those who failed the martial arts skills of the forbidden army would also be demoted to the Xiang army.
The Xiang Army is divided into two arms, the infantry and the horse army. The organization is divided into three levels: army, command, and capital. Deputy Commander; Dutou, Deputy Dutou.One army has five commanders, and each commander has five capitals, each with a hundred people.
At present, the Great Song Dynasty needs a large number of soldiers and horses to launch a national war. It is not enough to rely on tens of thousands of forbidden troops. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize the local troops in the Jianghuai area to participate in the war. , grain transportation and camp inspection guards, etc.
These miscellaneous tasks cannot be done by the imperial army, and the elite imperial army must have sufficient training and rest time.
"Clang clang!"
The army marched forward, the blades of the armor on their bodies were constantly rubbing against each other, and the momentum was mighty and majestic.
It has to be said that the imperial army has strict discipline, well-trained, uniform and uniform marching, and it is not at all sloppy. Looking from a distance, it gives people a sense of solemnity and dignity.
"Boom boom boom!"
The elite team of [-] cavalry rushed past the ground, and the ground trembled.
During the crusade against Western Shu, the Song Army did not use many elite cavalry, because the roads in Bashu were rugged, with many mountain roads and plank roads, and cavalry were not suitable for marching.
But this time against the Southern Tang, in addition to the need for a navy to cross the river, once landed, the cavalry unit can attack the infantry of the Southern Tang and sweep the harvest, which is indispensable.
As long as it is a field battle, the iron cavalry of the Northern Song Dynasty are still quite brave, and they can go head-to-head with the Khitan cavalry. There are few cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is difficult to withstand the impact of the Song cavalry when fighting on flat ground.
In addition to combat troops, food convoys can be seen everywhere along the way.
In ancient wars, it was emphasized that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first.
Because the amount of food and grass needed for the frontline battles is astronomical, although the Xiang army will bring their own food, it is only more than a month's ration, and basically half of it will be consumed on the way. When they reach the front line, there is not much left.
Once the war between the two countries was protracted and fought fiercely for half a year, the consumption of food and grass would be a huge expense.
If a soldier is based on a catty of rice per day, then a 800 army will consume 15 catties, about [-] shi, a month, [-] shi rice, and half a year, [-] shi.
At this time, the pressure of food transportation came. The food and grass needed by the more than [-] soldiers had to be continuously transported to the front line. They could only use ox carts, donkey carts and people's labor. Because the cattle were limited, most of them were used. People's Cart.
In this era, the wheels are all made of wood, and the quality of the axles is also poor, so it is very inconvenient to walk. Traveling long distances, gathering from the granaries of the state capitals in the Central Plains, and then sending them to the Yangtze River defense line, and even crossing the river, which requires the use of various places Countless civilians came to complete it, and they consumed a lot on the way.
When 10 Song troops go out to fight, tens of thousands of people will be mobilized for coolies and civilian husbands in the rear. On average, one soldier will have four or five local civilian servants to provide logistical assistance.
Moreover, the peasants also consume food, and if they run for hundreds of miles, they will consume less than half of it, so the food used for running is twice as much as the actual use.
That's why it is said that war is a major national event, and it must not be sloppy. It is not only about whether we can win, but it is very expensive to move once, and it is a bit of a waste of money.
The reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty declined rapidly during the period of Li Jing was that it launched wars against Min, Jingchu, and Wuyue. Every time they traveled long distances, they began to enter the opponent's country smoothly, almost destroying the opponent's country, but lacked strategy Vision, failed to operate in time, gained a firm foothold, failed to merge into the territory, was driven out, and returned in defeat.
Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, the consumption of food, grass and armaments is also huge, depleting the treasury.
Therefore, after Li Yu ascended the throne, what he took over was a mess, and the treasury was already empty, which made him harden without confidence.
"Report—General Qi, ten miles ahead, we will arrive at Wankou!"
"Okay, our army will set up camp in the Wankou area, and wait for the opportunity to cross the river after the three armies round up!" Cao Bin issued a military order.
"Decree!" The officer who sent the flag, turned around and mounted his horse, held the flag of the order, and began to send the order.
.........
In Wuyue Kingdom, outside Hangzhou, [-] soldiers and horses lined up.
Qian Chu personally boarded the Dianjiangtai, named the chief and deputy commander-in-chief, inspected the three armies, and mobilized troops for the northward expedition to Tang Dynasty.
This time, the general Song Chengli was in command, and Lu Yanzhu, the commander of the guard army, was the deputy commander. He mobilized troops from Hangzhou and Yuezhou to go north to crusade against Tang.
The 3 horses alone are not enough. There are also garrisons in Suzhou, and there are almost 4 horses in the frontier camp.
The two armies together, that is 7 people, attacked Changzhou and Runzhou, Qian Chu felt that the problem was not big.
If Wuyue Kingdom fought against Tang State alone, its national power would be slightly inferior, but now that the Song Dynasty has sent troops, it will contain the main force of the Tang Army.
"The Tang State went against the law, which was against the peace of heaven. Today, the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack the Tang State. We attacked Changzhou and Runzhou from the left, and then took Jinling City directly to avenge the Tang State's invasion of Wuyue. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. , now is the time for us to collect debts from Jinling Li Tang!"
Qian Chu incited the seeds of hatred among the soldiers, all of them became passionate and shouted loudly.
"Mie Tang! Mie Tang!"
The [-] men and horses shouted in unison, with a powerful momentum.
This time, Wu Yueguo came out with hatred.
"The three armies set out—" Qian Chu, king of Wuyue, shouted loudly. The cavalry came out first, followed by the infantry, and the armor clanged.
The distance from Hangzhou to Suzhou is about [-] miles. At the speed of Wuyue soldiers traveling [-] miles a day, they can reach the outside of Suzhou in eight days.
In ten days, they will arrive at the border between Wuyue and the northern part of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The day of war will not be far away.
