Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 448 Camel Cavalry
The sugary dates were naturally carried with the army as reserve food, but the olive oil was taken away directly after the oil was pressed.

The main reason is that there is a lack of oil extraction equipment on the road, so it is difficult to extract oil at the last minute.

Besides, there are so many people who consume a lot of supplies every day, not to mention oil.

In a small place like Zhizhi City, the olive oil produced does not last long, so naturally there is no need to worry about spoilage.

"It's so sweet!" Zhang and his family were given some dates. After taking a bite, Cai Yan exclaimed.

I'm not surprised that it's sweet, but I think it's too sweet and makes me feel uncomfortable.

Maybe those who do physical work will like this sweetness, after all, it can give them the strength to continue working.

But for ordinary people, this sweetness is too high.

This sugar is fructose, which has the lowest impact on blood sugar, so it has certain health significance.

The problem is that sweetness is sweet. If you don't dilute it, it's okay to eat one. If you eat too much, it will make you feel tired.

"After all, it is regarded as emergency rations." Zhang He said with a smile, "If we don't get enough food along the way, we may have to rely on this for support for a while."

A number of camels have been collected around Zhizhi City, but the water source problem is not easy to solve, especially the cost of 10,000+ people.

It would be better to say that from here on out, water source is the most important issue compared to food.

The longer the water shortage lasts, the greater the decline in morale.

It is impossible to let them use water, they can only collect it uniformly and then ration it.

Don't expect to take a shower, just clean the key parts at most.

Even so, a wooden bucket or something is still needed to clean dirtier things, or for other purposes.

In order to prevent the people from losing hope and courage, they must find a place to settle down as soon as possible.

To put it simply, let them see a lot of green instead of Gobi and yellow sand.

The next day, Zhang He summoned his troops and announced his decision to speed up the march.

At the same time, it was announced that from now on it will enter the stage of centralized allocation of materials. In the next month, life may be difficult.

The straight line is [-] kilometers, and according to normal trade routes, it is about [-] kilometers.

That is about [-] to [-] miles, and it would take a month at a rate of [-] miles per day.

It doesn't look like it takes too long, but you can move forward quickly with few resources. You can imagine the hard work involved.

It has to be said that the Anxi and Kushan areas are very good buffer zones.

When the Han army arrived here, they had to stop and consider whether to move westward.

Is there really any value here?Is there really fertile land to the west?

Without a world map, if you go along the road like this, you will probably doubt your life more and more as you go.

"Your Majesty, just move forward boldly, and we will follow!" Everyone responded one after another.

Along the way, although I have noticed that the climate is getting more and more arid and the water source is getting scarcer, but overall it is still sustainable.

After all, it has been hard. In the past 30 years, the Han Dynasty has either had poor or no harvests, or suffered from various natural disasters.

The younger generation can grow up in such an environment and realize that they have nothing to fear.

As for those who joined the army, they have long been accustomed to such a climate.

“Remember, in the next month, the environment we will experience may be two to three times worse than now.” Zhang He announced.

After a pause, he continued: "We have to walk more than 3000 miles to reach the vicinity of the Caspian Sea. When we get to the seaside, we can at least find a way to distill some water to drink and catch some fish to eat. Before that, eating and drinking may not be enough. It’s a problem.”

To say that it is just living is nothing, but if it is to march, it is hard to say.

If we don't maintain a constant speed, the progress of reaching the oasis will be further delayed.

So when we looked at the Three Kingdoms in the past, we always talked about an expedition to the Qin Dynasty. Who wouldn't want to?
But based on the actual situation, unless Zhang He cheats like this, who can hold on?

Zhang He forgot that for most people, people have already come this far, so it is naturally impossible to look back.

However, Zhang He, who was a little scared at first, could only bite the bullet and follow.

"General, there are enemy troops cruising around us!" Less than a day after leaving Zhizhi City, Yang Lang came back to report.The news of the fall of Zhizhi City has naturally spread. Even if it has not, Zhang He will naturally spread the news when he subsequently searches the surrounding towns.

It would be better to say that the opponent has just led his army over now, which is already slow enough.

"Get ready to fight!" Zhang He ordered.

Now there is no need to be afraid. Even if the other party has 10,000+ string controllers, they are divided into several countries. How many are there in one country?

This was still a record during the Ban Chao period. Now there are still [-] or [-] left, maybe less.

After receiving news from all over the country and sending troops over, it was impossible to gather them because they were not united internally.

After learning about the situation in Kang Ju Country, Zhang He became even more unscrupulous. If he hadn't been concerned about the lack of time, he would have plowed through these small countries to prepare more supplies for the subsequent migration.

After all, marching will be more difficult after entering summer. In other words, it is necessary to arrive near the Caspian Sea before midsummer.

Find a place to rest and recuperate for a month or two until the weather is not so hot, and then go to Armenia.

Most of our soldiers have put on armor.The extra armor was given to some young men of the common people to arm themselves as militiamen.

They guard supplies in peacetime, patrol camps to maintain law and order, and serve as the last line of defense to protect the people during wartime.

The replaced throwers have also been given to them for use. After all, they already have enough bows and arrows.

It's a pity that there is a lack of crossbows, but the two thousand powerful crossbows of the Guards are enough for the time being.

Someone came over to deliver equipment, and Zhang He certainly didn't mind coming next.

However, there will be casualties in the war. I just hope that the generals below will not be too proud.

After all, if casualties continue, there may be many people of other skin colors in the army.

When you are crowned a king from outside the territory, mixed blood is unavoidable, but don't let the blood of other races occupy the majority.

After the kingdom is fully developed and a complete channel is established, it will be necessary to bring a group of three to five thousand Chinese people over in three to five years.

"Haha, Zilong, those guys are actually riding camels!" Seeing the enemy approaching, Zhang Xiu smiled and pointed forward.

I saw a cavalry riding a camel, heading towards them.

This was the first time Zhang Xiu had seen such nondescript cavalry.

"Camels are more resistant to drought and can provide water when necessary, so it is not surprising that camel cavalry developed here." Zhao Yun thought more.

Running in the sand, the speed of horses is not much better than that of camels, maybe not as fast as camels.

But in terms of endurance and drought tolerance, even an excellent sweater horse may not be inferior to a camel.

People choose camels not because there are not enough war horses, but because camels are the most suitable choice.

Zhang He also noticed this and couldn't help but consider whether he should find time to cultivate a group of outstanding camels.

However, this does not take a short time. Unfortunately, what he lacks is time.

Instead, you can give the captured camels to someone and try to form a camel cavalry.

The ground is still solid now, so running is fine, but if there is a desert environment, or a desert environment, horses are really not as convenient as camels.

Having said that, the war has come to an end.

The already weak Kang Ju Kingdom obviously could not produce excellent cavalry, and perhaps their army began to become decayed.

It's a good thing for Zhang He, at least there won't be any powerful enemies along the way.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!

　　There are very few records about Kangju, so I don’t even know what specific cities they had, so I can only give a brief summary.That is to say, the country's decentralization of power is serious, and it has a bit of a federal system, so the internal friction is probably also very serious, and it is nothing more than a transition from prosperity to decline.

　　I don’t know if the writing is there, I’ll just ask a professional. The writing carrier is probably parchment, pottery board or even stone slab. It may also be a metal inscription, but it is unlikely to be a wooden tablet.

　　I ate Iraqi dates when I was a kid. They were very sweet, tangy and sticky to the teeth.I liked it for a while, but after eating just one or two pills, I felt tired, and then I didn’t like it anymore.

　　It was once imported, but later it became less popular and is no longer available.Nowadays, date palms are also grown in Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan.
