Chapter 62: Marching

After the time for the war was set, the entire Laiyang Mansion was like a war machine, running quickly, transporting food and grass, gathering the army, and orders were issued from the government office, and the minor officials responsible for the transmission almost ran away.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. On the morning of the third day, the troops gathered at the school ground. Liu Feng ordered the deportation. The army went out of the city one after another, and marched in three armies in front, middle and back. In addition to 47,000 battle soldiers, as well as auxiliary soldiers and civilians, the entire army had 80,000 troops.

The conditions of most roads in ancient times were very poor, and they could only allow two or three people to go hand in hand. This led to the fact that no matter how many people you were, the most were the ones that were marching were mainly two and four.

The army of 80,000 was equipped with a convoy of supplies, a small number of cavalry, infantry, military civil servants, etc., lined up in a long row with no heads and tails. After walking only more than 30 kilometers a day, it was about to be stationed in the construction camp for rest.

The army camped in a camping place, but it was not enough to find a place. The first issue to consider is drinking water. I know that it is easy to endure hunger, but it is difficult to endure thirst, and the water is not portable, and it consumes very quickly. Transporting clean water is extremely stressful to the logistics.

Therefore, when the army goes out, it cannot leave the water source too far. The source of drinking water is to dig wells, and the other is to draw water from rivers and lakes.

However, the former is too restricted, such as large project volume and the location of the well digging is also given. It is difficult to produce water in places with too thick soil, and the well water is difficult to meet the drinking water needs of more than tens of thousands of people, etc. Therefore, the army camped and generally tried to get close to a stable supply of water.

After dealing with the problem of water, the next one is urination and drowning, that is, stool and urine.

People have three urgent needs, and the problem of feces and urine is a detail that cannot be ignored during the march.

Pulling urine means soaking in water, but you have to restrain the soldiers and not conveniently in water. Just imagine, tens of thousands of troops, if you pull him and then you pull him and then you will be soaked in the water, and suddenly you will receive a yellow water flying from the upper stream. The scene is simply too beautiful!

Moreover, soldiers urinate and drown in the water, which not only easily damages the water source, but may even lead to epidemics.

It’s easy to solve the problem of peeing. As long as you don’t look at the water source, find a place, take out a guy, and simmer everywhere, it’s all done. It’s more troublesome to poop. This kind of product is more abundant, and it takes up space when it accumulates. It also has a odor, and you will find flies and mosquitoes...

Generally speaking, in order to solve this problem, a special place will be arranged in the camp to dig a large pit for soldiers to drown. When the camp is pulled out the next day, fill it in as soon as it is done.

When a large army camps, not everyone is mixed together in the same camp, but camps in branches (such as the central army, left army, right army, left wing, right wing, etc.).

The Baili Lianzhan is actually formed by many large camps stationed in the terrain and contacting each other. In this way, the pressure to deal with urination and drowning objects will be much less.

Although Liu Feng had done his homework before going to the war, he felt that it was shallow. He became the leader of the army and only after dealing with these problems did he realize the difficulties. He finally finished everything. It was already midnight and he didn't even have to eat.

When he returned to the central army's tent, the attendants immediately helped him untie the armor and then brought the hot meals. As the commander of the first army, he could not have eaten a big pot of rice like others.

For him, eating and living with soldiers is simply a reproduction. The most important direct troops were recruited by the system and were born with 100% loyalty, so there is no need to worry about loyalty. As for other soldiers, they are already grateful to Liu Feng, the lord.

Therefore, the logistics camp specially equipped Liu Feng with a chef. It is said that his ancestors were still imperial chefs and the food they made was full of flavor.

After picking up the chopsticks and eating a few bites, Liu Feng suddenly remembered something, turned to the outside and said, "Go, call Pang Bin over, he probably hasn't eaten yet."

Although Pang Bin is a cabinet minister and has a great power, the rules that should be followed must also be abide by. As the lord, Liu Feng has a private chef to hold a small kitchen. The people below will not complain or dare to complain. However, if Pang Bin does this, the situation will be different. Therefore, the logistics battalion did not provide him with any cook. What the officers leading the troops eat, he will also eat.

But at this time, I'm afraid there is not even leftovers.

Soon, Pang Bin arrived in a hurry. As Liu Feng's right-hand man, it was his first time to go with the army. He needed to coordinate all matters of all sizes, and he had more things to do than Liu Feng, the lord.

"Thank you for your hard work today, come and have a meal. After dinner, go back and rest quickly. We are going to rush again tomorrow."

"Thank you lord!"

Pang Bin was indeed very hungry. When he returned to the tent, he poured several bowls of water to fill his stomach. He thought he was going to be hungry, but he didn't expect that the lord still remembered himself. He was very moved and didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

After eating two bowls of rice, drinking a cup of ginseng chicken soup, Liu Feng breathed out a long breath and finally recovered.

"How is it? Are you still used to it? Have you ever complained about me asking you to follow the army?"

Pang Bin quickly wiped his mouth and replied, "The lord is so sincere. Being able to follow the lord to go to war is a blessing for his subordinates. Moreover, I have benefited a lot from following the army this time. I have also had the opportunity to verify what I learned from the teacher before. Although I have worked harder, I am happy."

"Haha, I'm so happy."

This is exactly what Liu Feng said. Although it is very hard today, he is also enjoying the process. Leading troops to fight is a man's dream.

The next day, before dawn, the army began to bury the pot and cook rice, and then continued to march.

It took four days for the army to arrive at the boundary of Jing County, Tangyuan Prefecture.

That night, Liu Feng summoned his officers to conduct a combat meeting in the tent.

Except for Yang Rong, Han Wu, Zhao Ming, Zhou Chen, Zhou Wencai, Zhao Guan and Meng Qi, the other officers who came to participate were all Liu Feng's system direct lineage.

"Tomorrow the army will enter the boundary of Jingxian. At that time, the detective cavalry in Jingxian will find our existence. Everyone talks about how we should conquer Jingxian."

Liu Feng sat in the main seat and asked as he looked at the officers.

When the officers below heard this, they immediately began to whisper. Zhou Wencai's eyes showed a hint of joy. He stood up first and bowed: "Report to the lord, Jingxian is the upper county. The city is high and the walls are thick. Siege is the worst strategy. The subordinates think that we can only take it smart and find a way to lead the defenders in the city."

Liu Feng and Pang Bin around him looked at each other. They had already decided on the strategy of capturing Jingxian these days. The reason why they asked for advice was that they wanted to listen to their opinions and brainstorm.

"Continue, how to get ahead of your wit?"

Seeing the lord asking questions, Zhou Wencai felt relieved and quickly expressed the strategies he had thought about these days.

"Lord, we can first send some people to disguise themselves as hungry people, sneak into villages and towns near Jingxian, and then pretend to raise an uprising. Jingxian will definitely send troops to suppress it at that time..."
