The physical endurance of camels is extremely strong. According to research, camels can survive for days without drinking water or eating. Camels can survive for days only drinking water without eating.
If a camel does not drink water for a long time, it will lose one-third of its weight. However, once a water source is found, the lost water can be replenished in a very short period of time.
Yang Fan can fully feed the camels before setting off, and even feed them high-calorie and high-protein foods. Then rely on the camels' huge carrying capacity to carry food as emergency feed. Water can be provided along the way.
Camel meat is not only edible, but also delicious.
Camel meat is rich in protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and niacin, which is very helpful in replenishing energy for the human body.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
In emergencies, killing camels can be used as military rations. Camels also produce milk, and camel milk is a great supplement. In modern society, it is frighteningly expensive and most people cannot afford to drink it.
Camel meat replenishes qi and blood, strengthens muscles and bones, moisturizes the skin, and is mainly used to treat malignant sores. Its hump is sweet, warm and non-toxic, and has the effects of moistening dryness, dispelling wind, activating blood circulation and reducing swelling.
Camel milk is slightly hot in nature and has the effects of nourishing, calming the mind, nourishing yin, and detoxifying.
It is very suitable to consume camel milk and camel meat in the desert. It can effectively alleviate various diseases that are easy to occur in the desert.
So how cold-resistant are camels?
Camels are endothermic animals and generally maintain a constant body temperature when the external temperature changes. The constant body temperature gives the animal the ability to resist heat but also be more resistant to cold, thereby better protecting itself.
Camels can use the endocrine and nervous systems to realize automatic regulation of body temperature. The endocrine system uses the secretion of thyroid and adrenaline to adapt to seasonal short-term temperature changes.
The thyroid gland is associated with slow seasonal temperature changes, while the adrenal glands mainly deal with transient temperature changes.
The temperature in the camel's living area is always high, and the lowest temperature can even reach 100 degrees Celsius, but the camel can still live a normal life.
Yang Fan searched for information and found that camels were far more resistant to cold than war horses.
There is no need to worry about the camels freezing to death. When the camels are gathered in a circle, they can not only be equipped with camel cannons to form a camel city. The camels are also covered with tight fur, so people can press against the lying camels to block the wind and keep warm.
Yang Fan now has 100,000 camels. In addition to those originally found on the grasslands, there are also some purchased from the Horn of Africa. The Horn of Africa raises one-third of the world's camels, a total of 10 million.
Yang Fan planned to hand over these 100,000 camels to An Sanxi, and change all the 50,000 cavalry into camel cavalry. Half of them would be used as mounts, and the other half would be used as transportation animals.
But can camel soldiers and cavalry fight reliably and can they win?
Yang Fan started searching for information on his laptop.
When fighting in the desert, camels perfectly restrain war horses.
Compared with war horses, camels have stronger endurance, gravity-bearing and aggressiveness. The special smell of camels can also frighten war horses. Camels are heat-resistant, cold-tolerant and omnivorous, which also makes them more adaptable to the desert.
Heavy armored cavalry cannot catch up with camels. When light cavalry and camel cavalry fight, because the camels are much taller, they have the advantage of being condescending but also at a disadvantage.
Besides, Yang Fan also has a camel cannon and a 7.92mm three-barreled light Gartley machine gun mounted on a camel hump. There is no problem at all in using a camel as a mount.
As for the fact that these 100,000 camels were originally prepared for transporting supplies for the army, that doesn't matter much.
In the Horn of Africa, there are as many camels as you want, and there are tens of millions of camels in stock. Yang Fan can buy them freely, which allows Ali, the middleman, to earn more of the price difference, which can enhance Ali's strength.
Looking back, he simply asked Ali to purchase again, purchasing 300,000 camels at once. In the future, these desert boats will be indispensable for troops in the northwest. This thing has a large carrying capacity and is a good thing for land transportation.
During the Qing Dynasty, Dashengkui Trading Company relied on a huge fleet of camels to trade from Zhangjiakou to Moscow and Prague. In the three hundred years before the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, camels supported the important task of Eurasian land trade.
After Yang Fan thought about it carefully, he started writing a reply to An Sanxi. He repeated his thoughts. At the same time, he asked him to study the feasibility of using camel cavalry to attack. Then, he asked the adjutant on duty in the study to give the reply to the messenger
The officers who came took them back.
When Yang Fan came out of the study, he met Xiao Niangpi who came to Yang Fan to go back for lunch.
"Master, is there any urgent military situation?" Xiao Niangpi asked.
"Well, the Khalkha people can't hold themselves back anymore, and they may cause us some trouble in the spring," Yang Fan said.
"That should be taken seriously. If they attack the transportation line, the army on the front line will be in danger." Xiao Niangpi has followed Yang Fan in handling military and political affairs for the past two years and has also received good training.
She is also very familiar with the military. Yang Fan deliberately cultivates Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru's ability to handle military and political affairs, so that they can handle it easily if Yang Fan is not around.
The two of them went to the restaurant while talking, Yang Fan said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, I will deal with them in the near future. I plan to equip An Sanxi with 100,000 camels, and use the cold winter to raid Mobei to deal with the Chechen Khan or Tuxie
Tuhan. As long as one of them is annihilated, the Khalkha people can be frightened."
The two came to the restaurant and sat down. Xiao Niangpi asked: "If we send troops this season, the weather is freezing, will we suffer too much loss?"
At this time, Lin Yueru hurried in. Seeing Yang Fan and Xiao Niangpi tying napkins and getting ready to eat, she said, "Master, the latest information has come from Guihua City."
Yang Fan asked her to sit down, don't be anxious, and talked while eating. Yang Fan often told them to be calm when dealing with important events, and don't panic in everything. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"What's wrong with Guihua City? The Mongols won't form an alliance, right?" Yang Fan said lightly. At the same time, he motioned to Dongxiang to serve him a bowl of West Lake water shield soup.
Lin Yueru immediately stretched out her thumb. The master is so awesome that he guessed it right away.
Lin Yueru sat down, tied her napkin, and signaled Chunxiang to get her a piece of steak and pour a glass of red wine.
Lin Yueru said while eating: "Master, the latest information is that the Mongols in Qinghai and Tibet, the Mongols in the Western Regions, and the Mongols in Mobei have sent envoys to Guihua City. They gathered at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and jointly recommended Mongolia from Mobei.
Heshuote's Gushi Khan is the leader of the alliance. We are preparing to concentrate our forces to meet the attack of my army."
Gushi Khan (year), which is the transliteration of "Guoshi Khan". His surname was Bo'er Zhijin, and his real name was Tulu Baihu.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Oirat (Elut) Mongolian Heshuote tribe, the founder of the Heshuote Khanate, the nineteenth grandson of Zhuochi Hesar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan Temujin, and the fourth son of Oirat Khan Haninoyan Honggor.
Yang Fan knew that in the Western Region, his family was the leader of the Oirat Alliance composed of Walla people. He himself was also considered a big shot in the Western Region.
It is not surprising that he was elected as the leader of the alliance. After all, the strength of the family is there. Now the strongest force in Mongolia is the Oirat Alliance. If you don't choose him, who should you choose?
Yang Fan took a sip of the soup, put down the spoon, and asked: "Which tribes are participating in this Yinshan Conference."
