There is no way, because Suzhou can't wait... Suzhou only has two months of food and grass. When the mountain army on the Shen Bing is trained properly, Suzhou's food and grass will be almost finished.
However, Shen Bing did not need to train them too perfectly. In fact, the mixing of Li Army and Shenwu Army was enough to complete the task of crossing the mountains.
The advantages of the Rongli Army are the ability to march in the mountain and its survivability, and the disadvantages are the lack of organization, discipline and combat effectiveness.
The Shenwu Army is almost the opposite of the forward-right army. Its advantage is the disadvantage of the forward-right army, and its disadvantage is the advantages of the forward-right army.
So the two armies can perfectly complement each other.
The sinking army does not need to be organized and disciplined, nor does it need to be as strong as its combat effectiveness.
At least for now.
All Shen Bing wanted was to take the Shenwu Army out of the mountains they were familiar with, or help the Shenwu Army survive and increase its speed through the mountains.
The next battle will be left to the Shenwu Army.
Therefore, Shen Bing asked Liqing:
"Can you cross the Qilian Mountains with one thousand soldiers and two thousand soldiers of the Shenwu Army? One leads two. Can you cross the Qilian Mountains?"
Xiang Liqing asked:
"Qilian Mountain?"
Chen Bing raised his head to Qilian Mountain behind him, and then he understood Liqing.
"Snow Mountain!" Xiang Liqing said: "We call it the Snow Mountain!"
Chen Bing guessed that this was because of the snow on the peaks of Qilian Mountains for many years.
Xiang Liqing continued to ask:
"Where does the General want us to go through?"
Chen Bing opened the map and drew a route on it, asking:
"If I leave like this, how many days will it take?"
He looked at Li Qing, shook his head and said:
"We can't pass through it."
Chen Bing was shocked and asked:
“Why?”
Xiang Liqing answered:
"The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous here, so we can only climb rocks with arrows."
Chen Bing said:
"Why do you say it cannot pass?"
Chen Bing’s idea was: Xianglijun was originally good at mountain rock climbing, but now he was equipped with arrows, so he could pass through any mountainous area in principle.
If they can pass through any mountainous area, just put down the rope or rope ladder, will the Shenwu Army be able to pass through the same?
To Liqing explained:
"If you can only climb rocks, horses and flocks will definitely not be able to pass."
"If the horses and sheep cannot pass, then we can only carry supplies with us."
"In addition to supplying, we have to carry equipment. The Shenwu Army also has to wear armor, and also bring climbing equipment and rice making utensils..."
"In this way, it is the limit to be able to march in the mountainous area for about four days."
"And this mountain road takes at least six days."
After Li Qing said this, Shen Bing understood.
This is indeed a difficult point, and it is not a problem that can be solved by bringing more supplies.
Because more supply means that you cannot cross mountains and ridges or slow down, and slow down speed means that you need more supply, so you can tie one by one and then add the weight of the supply to an infinitely higher...
One of the ways is to reduce the weight of equipment and bring more food, such as not wearing armor and less arrows.
But doing so doesn't make much sense.
On the one hand, the vine armor equipped by the Shenwu Army itself is not heavy.
On the other hand, if the Shenwu Army weakens its equipment to this level, it means that its combat effectiveness will decrease in level... Vinegar can be said to be a magical tool for dealing with nomadic peoples. Most nomadic peoples play with bows and arrows, and shoot quickly. It is also accurate, but the vine armor is a "professional bow and arrow blocking".
If you don’t wear vine armor, Shen soldiers are not sure how much more role these two thousand Shenwu Army can play.
After thinking about it, Chen Bing asked:
"If you shrink the four-day food festival to six..."
Xiang Liqing shook his head and denied Chen Bing's idea:
"These four days are the weight of the dry food Lis has carried in the past."
"If it is based on the food plan of the Shenwu Army..."
Chen Bing's heart moved:
“Dry food?”
Xiangli nodded:
"We will roast the mutton and then dry it, and march in the mountains and use it as dry food."
"But the Sun Li family can survive with a very small amount of dry food, but I'm afraid the Shenwu Army needs more..."
This is right. Is Shenwu Jun used to eating big bowls of meat? Suddenly, he could only eat a few slices of jerky meat in one meal? I'm afraid I can't stand it.
Chen Bing said:
"If the Shenwu Army also carried dry food, they would not care about making rice utensils? Can they bring more food?"
Xiangli nodded:
"It may be possible to march for five days."
Chen Bing's confident answer:
"This matter is for me? The dry food I carry is enough for seven days and not too heavy."
Qian Liqing was curious for a moment? Where can I get such dry food that is not heavy and can eat for so many days?
That night, Shen Bing sent someone to lead a few sheep, slaughter them, and then took the grease and boiled oil.
Then add flour to the oil and stir-fry? While stir-frying, sprinkle some chopped oil residue and salt on it...
It should have been added with sugar.
But firstly, there is no sugar in this era? Secondly, salt is needed to be added to marching and fighting, so Chen Bing believes that it is more appropriate to add salt.
Chen Bing patiently stir-fryed on low heat, and soon a pot of fragrant fried noodles was completed.
Wang Benqi said:
"General, I only think that this flour can be made into noodles and dumplings? I don't think it has this way to eat it?"
Xiang Liqing smelled the fragrance so much that he drooled? Ask Chen Bing:
"General, can we try how it tastes..."
Chen Bing reminded:
"Of course, it's just this thing..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ben and several soldiers moved their chopsticks and snatched them. However, as soon as they put them in their mouths, they were so hot that they screamed, and tears rolled out instantly.
Wang Ben asked while sniffing and wiping his tears:
"General? Just what is this thing..."
Chen Bing shook his head:
"It's just that this thing is fried with boiling oil, and it seems to be smokeless and air-free, but the temperature is extremely high."
"It needs to be cool before it can be eaten!"
The soldiers around him were "coaxing" and laughing out loud? Only Wang Ben and a few people who were scalded with food were posing with bitter faces.
Finally it cooled down.
He clumsyly took a pinch of chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then nodded repeatedly:
"It's delicious? I've never eaten this thing."
Chen Bing couldn't help laughing. The people who ate Liqing and the people in the Li clan were either goat milk or mutton? Or just change to another milk and another meat? There were a lot of things I hadn't eaten before.
Wang Ben and the soldiers each made some attempts? After eating, they nodded and praised.
Wang Ben commented:
“Although this thing is delicious, it is a little dry.”
Chen Bing nodded and said:
"So it is not advisable to eat too much, but it is very convenient for dry food for marching!"
I realized after saying "Oh" to Liqing.
Chow mein is indeed not a delicious delicacy.
But its advantages are that it is easy to carry, easy to eat and a strong sense of fullness.
When the volunteers marched and fought, they used fried noodles as the staple food... A handful of fried noodles was like a bite of snow, and they could even be eaten while marching.
At this time, Shen Bing used it as dry food for the Shenwu Army to pass through the mountains. It was just the time.
