Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 377 376. Battle No. 01

"General, I am willing to fight with the general!"

For three days, Huo Qubing was mobilizing his troops in Liaoning.

Zhang Qi promised him [-] people, but the number of [-] people was not fixed. Even [-] was still [-], and [-] was still [-]. As long as it did not exceed [-], Huo Qubing could bring as many soldiers as he wanted.

Although he is 21 years old, Huo Qubing has been in the army for many years. When he was still a boy, he was sent by Liu Che to train in Wei Qing's army. Now he can be called a veteran.

Although Zhang Qi gave him great autonomy, a subordinate should also be cautious.

Huo Qubing didn't really recruit so many troops. He wanted elite troops, an elite army that could follow him across the battlefield at lightning speed.

Regarding this point, Liaoning really shocked Huo Qubing too much.

In his eyes, almost everyone in Liaoning's garrison, city gate command, and militia could be called an elite soldier in terms of training. Even his uncle's former personal guards could not compare with the level of training of Liaoning soldiers.

In the Han region, a monthly training of ten is enough to qualify as an elite soldier, but in Liaoning, except for the militiamen whose monthly training is slightly shorter, almost all other soldiers have a monthly training of twenty or more.

Even the idle soldiers such as the City Gate Order have more than four hours of training in Liaoning for 20 days every month.

Coupled with the equipment provided by the Liaoning Water Forge and the newly built steam engine forge, Huo Qubing had already guessed the final outcome of the Han Dynasty.

Totally incomparable.

With regard to this equipment, the combat effectiveness of this army, and the terrifying mobilization of the Liao Territory, there is no comparison under Liu Che's administration.

finally.

Huo Qubing selected A Liang as his deputy general. As a captain of the garrison, A Liang had a thorough understanding of the garrison's troop sources.

Also with A Liang's help, it only took them three days to select the six thousand Dragon Banner Army officers needed for this expedition.

An additional [-] baggage trains were completed, and No. [-] was assembled at Liaoning Railway Station at noon the next day.

Different from the previous Han army organizational system, in addition to the army, Shi, team, tun, Qu, military marquis and school lieutenant, Liao's soldier organization also had a separate political guard.

The decentralization of political guards is based on villages, and each village has the position of military guards. Their role is to clarify the soldiers' will to fight, why they fight, and for whom they fight, as well as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight and regulate the negative emotions of the soldiers. that exists.

A Liang and others have long been accustomed to this position. Although Huo Qubing was puzzled, as an emperor and a courtier, he had nothing to say and just accepted it happily.

On the straight and spacious platform, more than 4000 people lined up waiting neatly. Even though there were so many people, the platform of Liaoning Railway Station was still empty.

At the front of the team, Huo Qubing took out a round object about the size of his palm from his arms and took a look. Three metal needles of different lengths inside showed the time at this moment.

12: 03.

This was given to him a few days ago when he was discussing matters with City Lord Hu Lu and Qi Hu.

Four pieces in total.

It is said to be the latest product of the Tiangongsi Scientific Research Institute and is used to compare time.

These four pocket watches, which are about the size of a palm, are experimental products. Liaoning has not yet put them into use, and plans to use them in the war in the Western Regions.

Two of them belonged to the Long Banner Army under Huo Qubing's command, while the other two were for Huo Qubing to go to Juyanze and hand them over to Hu Shui. In this expedition to the Western Regions, You Yi Army was the main force, with Long Banner assisting from the side.

"It's the estimated time, let the soldiers prepare."

"clear."

Lieutenant General A Liang nodded, then stood up and turned around.

"stand at attention--!"

bang bang!

The uniform sound is the most exciting.The workers working at the train station couldn't help but feel shocked.

"A new army has been formed again. This spirit is worthy of being our son-in-law in Liao."

"Yes, yes. I heard that your Majesty personally ordered it. What is it called? Dragon Banner Army. Look at the flag. It seems that Your Majesty has high hopes for this army."

"Hey, what you said is right. The Erlang Army in our Liao Territory is not what your Majesty had high hopes for. If it weren't for the bravery of these people, how could we have such peace in the Liao Territory!"

"Yes, yes, look at my stupid mouth."

"Stop chatting, the train is coming, raise the flag and convey it."

"Yes!"

woohoo-

The sound of clanking iron wheels was accompanied by a column of snow-white smoke drifting backwards, and a black metal behemoth drove into the platform station.

It can be seen that this locomotive has been improved and is much more advanced than the original test machine.

Behind the locomotive, there are eight neat carriages. These carriages are made of iron and wooden boards. After being painted, the color looks dark.

On the locomotive, there are majestic block letters printed on the big lacquer seal.

【Battle Line 01】

The whistle blew, accompanied by a slightly harsh metallic sound.

The train stopped steadily in front of Long Qijun and others.

Even people from the Liao region, or former Han soldiers who had stayed in the Liao region for a long time, were stunned by the extreme shock brought by the train.

Before the completion of the Liaoning-Zhejiang Railway, not many people in Liaoning had seen a train. How to put it in one sentence?

Yes, this is called beating up primitive people.

It is the unique charm of technological creations!
"This!"

Huo Qubing stared at the giant thing in front of him for a long time and couldn't control himself. It was also the first time for him to see a train. This giant beast made of metal actually made him feel a little palpitated.

If it were hit, it would turn into minced meat.

Fortunately, he had the ability to remain calm even when the general was about to collapse. After a brief moment of shock, he immediately issued military orders backwards.

“Line up to board!!!”

With the sound of the order, the officers and soldiers of the Long Banner Army immediately returned to normal.

The orders were issued one after another, and all the troops boarded the train in order.

Battle Train No. 01 has eight carriages, one of which is loaded with coal and water, and then there is another carriage loaded with food and supplies.

Except for these two carriages, the other six carriages are used to transport troops. One carriage can carry 330 seven people when fully loaded, and the six carriages carry a total of 22 troops.

Since it is fully loaded, the comfort of the carriage is equivalent to none. Fortunately, in order to save space, each carriage is divided into three levels of sleepers, which can allow the soldiers to lie down all the way to Juyanze.

In Liaoning, there are a total of 37 battle trains. Except for the [-] trains transporting supplies at the front, the other battle trains are still in the garage.

This time, a total of ten trains came to Juyanze to transport troops. They were divided into batches and departed every half an hour to carry more than 4000 people and equipment.

From 12:07 to 16:13, Huo Qubing and A Liang also boarded the train to Juyanze.

Listening to the clanging sound and looking at the scenery flying away, the corners of his mouth were raised.
