Chapter 448

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this army?" Fan Kui asked with a smile beside Liu Bang on the way to Shuicheng.
"Which army are you talking about? Is there an army in this country? Have you ever seen an army marching like this?" Liu Bang complained three times, and laughed at what Fan Kui said.

Liu Bang mainly looked like he had seen a ghost. At this time, he was leading 9 soldiers under him to Shuicheng alone.

Yes, alone.

After the general gave the order to gather in Shuicheng, the entire army dispersed immediately, and all the soldiers left the barracks directly. Except for Liu Bang himself who restrained all nine of his men by his side, the other officers No one interfered with his soldiers, allowing them to leave the barracks in chaos.

Confused, Liu Bang asked Du Yue what's going on, don't you want to march?
As a result, Du Yue looked at Liu Bang in doubt again, and asked, "What is marching?"

Liu Bang tried his best to explain the concept of marching, and then Du Yue waved his hands and said, "Aren't you asking for trouble? 3000 people are on the road at the same time. Who can manage them? What about eating?"

"Of course the soldiers will go to Shuicheng by themselves. It is enough to show up in the barracks in Shuicheng before the specified time. Otherwise, you plan to take 3000 people with you?"

Liu Bang is a Muggle directly, but considering the basically zero military history in this world, everything seems very reasonable.

And any real army general, after a long time in command, will find that the most difficult thing is not how to fight, but how to lead a large number of soldiers to act together.

Do you think that when the general gives an order, all the soldiers will spontaneously line up in neat steps and follow the general all the way forward?

This is impossible. Everyone in the army has their own ideas. Some people are eager for military exploits, while others are desperately trying to escape from the army.

Moreover, people's physiques are different. Some soldiers can persist in marching for 12 hours without changing their faces, while some people have blisters on the soles of their feet after walking for less than half an hour, and they can't walk at all.

In addition, the rest during the march, the construction of tents, the arrangement of rations, the emotional relief of soldiers, the implementation of various generals' orders, and various miscellaneous things all need to be arranged by the commander in advance. Well, if even these most basic things can't be done well, then this army may collapse on its own halfway through.

The most obvious point is that you open any Art of War book.

Note that this art of war cannot be the miraculous "36 Strategies" that has been blown up on the Internet. It may surprise many people. "36 Strategies" is not military art at all, and it is not even a military book. Some literati, based on their own assumptions, combined with some famous military cases in ancient China, and some four-character idioms that look very dazzling, put together a book that seems to be awesome.

But if you really want to learn some military skills from this book, it is impossible. Otherwise, with the classic level of the cases in this book, people all over the country have basically heard the stories in it, and they will not Basically, they can understand the meaning of 36 tactics. Doesn't this mean that the people of the whole country can become military talents?
This is nonsense. The real official military textbooks in ancient times are actually the orthodox art of war such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Secret Teachings", "Ji Xiao New Book", and "The Seven Books of Martial Arts".

And if you really read these warlords, you will find that they really teach you something like 36 tricks.The content of this strategy may be less than 1/20 of the entire book, and many books do not have these things at all.

The whole book actually teaches you how to set up a camp, how to manage the army's food and grass, how to guide the spirit of the soldiers, how to set up military laws, how to command the army, etc. These are real, basic things that cannot be further basic .

This may sound terribly boring, but it's the truth.

Many people like to play real-time strategy games, and when playing these games, just click the mouse frame, and then click the right button at a certain position. In the battle, it is the most difficult part.

To judge whether a general is qualified is not to see how many enemies he has killed and how many tricks and tricks he has used, but whether he can reach the predetermined position with at least 60% of the troops within the specified time.

A general who can do this is a qualified general.

It can also be seen from this that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not qualified generals at all. They can't even reach the destination on time with a team of hundreds of people, and they don't even have the most basic ability to be a general. Naturally, it is impossible to win.

And Liu Bang's situation is actually similar. After all, when he led the soldiers to support the corvee, more than half of the whole team ran away, so he had to go to Mangdang Mountain to become a bandit. How could Liu Bang have the ability to lead the army to fight at the beginning? .

Liu Bang still remembers the first time he led the army to attack Pei County, a team of thousands of people came down from Mangdang Mountain. It was originally planned to only take three days away, but it took a full 1 days to arrive.

In the extra 10 days, all of them were solving various problems encountered during the march, solving the execution of orders, etc. Liu Bang did not sleep for a whole night in the past ten days. Zhong Du is dealing with various contradictions that arise in the army.

By the time they arrived in Pei County, about 1000 people had been lost in the team of thousands of people, and the rest were basically locals from Pei County. They reluctantly followed with the support of their obsession to go home Liu Bang walked all the way to Pei County, otherwise, instead of leaving 1000 people, there would be only 1000 people left.

This situation was not changed until Liu Bang conquered Pei County, and Xiao He and Cao joined Liu Bang's army.

After all, Cao Shen was considered a professional soldier, having received training from the Qin Empire, at least possessed some of the most basic military capabilities, and knew how to plan and control the army.

So Cao Shen directly took away the command of the entire army at that time, and Liu Bang's army could barely be called an army in the next battle.

If there were no real military talents like Cao Shen to join, Liu Bang might have become a wild corpse by the roadside long ago.

This is also the reason why many peasant uprisings in ancient times failed. At the beginning, these rebels only gathered together with blood and courage, and caught the local government by surprise. Only then were they able to take the city and gather tens of thousands of people. It seems very magnificent.

But they don't know how to fight at all, and they don't know how to lead troops. A real regular army can directly defeat tens of thousands of people with a single charge.

It's like a group of guys who haven't even studied in elementary school, junior high school or high school. Now you just let them develop nuclear weapons and build lithography machines. Isn't this waiting for them to explode?
And now the army in the entire water province is basically a group of illiterates preparing to build nuclear weapons.
