Chapter 283: Difficult to march

"Yes." Shang Wen replied.

"How to complete it is your business, I am only responsible for logistics supplies." Shang Wen said.

"Right. General Wang, it is best to complete the assembly within seven days. Only in this way can the potential of the new army be tapped." Shang Wen said.

"Seven days?" Wang Jian exclaimed again.

"Yes, seven days. You just give orders and how the army assembles depends on their own." Shang Wen said.

"This, I'm afraid." Wang Jian said eagerly. From Xianyang to Hulaoguan. A large army reached within seven days. Basically, it is the limit. After that, there was no combat power.

"I know, General Wang, you don’t know how much potential they have if some things don’t force you. You know what I saw on the way back from the north. There were many carriages in Daqin almost overnight. How many carriages are there? , I don’t know. In short, there are thousands of them. If they are applied properly, there should be no problem with moving a large army. How to command is the business of those commanders. This is called delegated management." Shang Wen said.

"Entrusted management." Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, feel relieved and boldly put the burden on them. I'm in a hurry. I can think of any idea." Shang Wen said.

"Then, that's okay. I'll give it a try." Wang Jian said.

The order was quickly issued to the newly formed First Musket Division, the First Musket Cavalry Brigade. This order has just been issued. The whole army was in an uproar. Seven days. From Xianyang to Hulaoguan.

"Is the above crazy? How could it be possible in seven days. Let me figure it out." When a battalion commander received the order, he almost jumped up.

"Even if you fly, you can't fly that far." A company commander agreed.

"The cavalry has horses, but we are infantry. Infantry. It depends on this." The other company commander said, patting his thigh.

In such a situation, these grass-roots officers quickly implemented it mechanically. They first assembled their company. Then issued the order, the whole army was fully equipped. Start pulling immediately.

The First Musketeer rushed into battle like this. No one has time to manage the logistics. Even without knowing who to look for, the whole army went out. The first is the soldier's personal outfit.

Because the entire army is equipped with muskets. Therefore, the entire soldier's equipment is very light. Soldiers only need to carry or carry a gun. Although it carries a lot of bullets, it is much lighter than the previous armor. As for the armor, all of them have been abandoned. The new military uniform is completely incompatible with the previous armor. The soldiers in the whole army can almost be called lightly outfitted.

The order was issued in the morning. At noon, the army hurried on the road. It didn't take long for the problem to appear. It was noon, and the army needed to start a fire on the spot to cook, but logistical supplies. No one said hello, and no one reported, because the whole army was busy taking care of it. It's time. There is nothing to eat.

Mengwu was the chief military officer of this exercise. Was it the military commander all at once? He has not encountered such a thing. When he received the order, he was surprised first, then shocked. Is it silly? Or it's crazy. Reach Hulao Pass within seven days. In a hurry, it is a last resort. The order was urgently issued, and then the whole army quickly moved out. The logistic problem was forgotten by the rush march.

The problem soon came to Wang Jian. Wang Jian shook his head. Shang Wen happened to be there. Shangwen was dragged to the staff by Wang Jian.

See this question. Shang Wen also shook his head.

"The top priority is to solve these logistical problems as soon as possible. As for the problem, I'll talk about it later." Wang Jian said.

"There are several big carts and horses in Xianyang, let them arrange vehicles to transport grain and grass. That's it." Shang Wen said.

"En. Yes. I ask someone to do it immediately." Wang Jian said.

Talking. Wang Jian immediately ordered.

"Old general. It seems that it won't work. The staff has to play a role." Shang Wen said.

"Oh, sir, do you have a good plan?" Wang Jian asked.

"That’s the only way. First of all, we have to let the Xianyang carts and horses arrange to arrange carts and horses to take charge of our logistics. This is the most important thing. We use the bidding method to give them priority in charge of our military rations. Then, see if they have any. There are no extra carriages, so arrange for our army to go in carriages." Shang Wen said.

"Well, is this feasible?" Wang Jian asked.

"It should be feasible. Now many carriages in Xianyang City use large-load four-wheeled carriages, transporting eight soldiers at a time, and they try to squeeze. There should be no problem." Shang Wen asked.

"Well, okay. I'll give it a try." Wang Jian said.

"But that bidding?" Wang Jian asked. "It's just that we give the money, and see whoever pays the lower price, we use whoever." Shangwen immediately asked and asked.

"Well then. Mr. Lao Qin is the only one involved in this matter," Wang Jian said.

"But these problems have not been solved yet." Shang Wen said.

"It hasn't been resolved yet. Oh. I understand." Wang Jian looked at Shang Wen in a puzzled way, but then he suddenly realized that the main purpose of this exercise was to see the problems exposed by the Qin Army.

"Sir, please speak." Wang Jian said with a fist.

"First of all, there is an army of more than 10,000 people. There was no staff at the beginning. In normal times, they arranged and planned some specific marching routes. In case of emergency. Now suddenly orders are made. The whole army is Up and down at a loss." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, right. It's not enough just to have this staff. There should be branches below." Wang Jian said.

"The other thing is that the army should not be biased towards offensive power. It should also work hard in logistics to equip the army with some carriages. It can transport supplies in peacetime, but it can also transport a large number of combat personnel in emergency." Shang Wen said.

"En." Wang Jian nodded thoughtfully.

"There is also the emergency supplies of the army, which should be kept in reserve for a certain period of time at all times, so that they can be mobilized at once. We don't have to be so troublesome and we have to arrange for temporary deployment of manpower. This will also leave us with a certain reaction time." Shang Wen said .

"Yes." Wang Jian said.

"However, there will be a problem response soon." Shang Wen said.

"What's the problem?" Wang Jian asked.

"Traffic. Such a large army ran out at once, the cavalry moved quickly, and the speed of the infantry could not keep up, and a road was blocked all at once. In addition, from Xianyang to Hulaoguan, there was no highway at all. This time. There must be something wrong." Shang Wen said.

In fact, this problem has already appeared. Order it at once. The cavalry was fortunate to say, and prepared leisurely. The infantry rushed on the road, waiting for the cavalry to go out. The infantry was already waiting to eat on the side of the road. Plus the artillery artillery is placed on the side of the road. The problem came out all of a sudden.
