There were tens of thousands of people, boundless. The number of Huangzhou Army in Qiucao in Wuchang County was nearly 10,000. Not to mention the marching, the camp was not small when camping, and the camp tents were one after another, like the ocean.

On the periphery of the camp, Yu Wen Wen was checking the village wall. The village wall was equal to the city wall in the city, which was an important reliance for defense.

There is no brick in camping in the wild, so the village walls are usually made of wood. Where does the wood come from? Cut it yourself.

The forest coverage rate is good these days, so there is no shortage of wood. After cutting off the trunks, they are divided into two categories: one is long and the other is short. They burn the bottom of the trunk and buried it underground. The depth is more than half. Of course, it is okay not to burn and sharpen.

Long trunks are lined up in tight rows outside, short trunks are lined up inside, and then wooden boards are set up between the two rows of trunks, which are divided into two layers. In this way, the part of the long trunks grows into a protective wall, similar to the female wall on the top of the city to protect the trunk of a soldier.

The upper floor of the wooden board allows soldiers to patrol and keep watch, and the lower floor can store weapons and allow soldiers to rest. If they want to station for a long time or face large-scale attacks by the enemy, they must also build soil for the village walls.

Where does the soil come from? It comes from when digging trenches. Not only that, arrow towers and sentry towers are indispensable. Deer antlers must be arranged outside and horses must be resisted. Considering the problem of multi-layer defense, small villages must be built on the periphery as a support.

How to arrange a small village? It depends on the terrain of the camp. There are also some requirements for the site selection of the camp. You cannot choose it in a low-lying place, otherwise it will be easily taken away by people and water, or it may be flooded if it is rained heavily.

It is best to be close to the water source to facilitate water withdrawal, but you should also be careful of flooding; it is best to dig wells in the camp, but you should also pay attention to whether the groundwater can be consumed.

When building a wall, you must not only consider the defense ability, but also limit the range of movement of soldiers. You are not allowed to enter and exit the camp at will, so as to avoid enemy troops making careful moves and sneaking in. The establishment of a wall must also consider the terrain.

Therefore, the location of the camp should not only consider the terrain, but also the issue of easy defense and difficult attack. The coach must be careful.

But the coach cannot do everything himself. So the scouts who are probing in advance must figure out the possible campsites and select a few to repay the coach and wait for the decision.

The camp was decided, and those who logged wood and those who built tents had to be arranged to patrol and guard the surrounding area, and to arrange troops to prevent enemy troops from attacking when camping, but there was another thing that had to be done at the same time, that was to dig a pit.

After the camp is decided, in addition to building tents and trenching walls, you must dig a hole immediately. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people can urinate and defecate anywhere, and the entire camp can be turned into a public toilet. Even the same important thing is drainage ditches, which must be arranged in a unified manner.

The scope of the camp has been determined, and the next step is to divide the houses... When dividing the camp area, no matter how good the camp address is, there will always be some locations with poor terrain. How to coordinate the stationing positions of each department must also be considered.

For camps with a scale of ten thousand people, in order to facilitate management, camps must be strictly divided between the divisions to prevent soldiers from running around between the camps. Soldiers in this district are not allowed to visit at will. How to strengthen management is what the commander needs to consider.

Camping is easy to say but complicated to do. It is an important aspect of testing the commander's military quality. Yuwen Wen is now considered qualified.

That is just passing.

In the story of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi saw the camp left by the retreat of the Shu Han army and was amazed at Zhuge Liang's military talents. But Yuwen Wen asked himself, if he retreated, the enemy generals came to see the remains of the camp, which was probably the following comment:

Yuwen Wen, but Er, nothing special about it.

It doesn’t matter. Yuwen Wen feels that he is still young and has many opportunities to grow, so he just needs not to die halfway.

After walking around the camp, Yuwen Wen turned to check the food and grass. He had assigned Qiu Cao's specific affairs to the assistant officials and generals of various departments. He actually didn't have to worry about the food and grass, so he actually pretended to be public and private.

By asking the grain and grass officials about the logistics management, they recorded various measures. This behavior is considered to be a stealing teacher and learning how to dispatch grain and grass with a scale of ten thousand people.

Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. The larger the scale of the troops, the more food and grass it consumes. If the dispatch is not properly dispatched, the food and grass may not be able to provide assistance at any time, which will directly lead to unstable morale in the army and lead to the collapse of the entire army.

If you want to win a battle, how to dispatch food and grass is also a matter that must be considered.

Some people who don’t know the truth asked, what’s the big deal about transporting food and grass?

Of course, it is very important. The transportation of grain and grass is not simple. The consumption of grain and grass transportation is based on the organizational structure of ancient times, especially large-scale long-distance transportation, is quite amazing.

Yuwen Wen did the calculations, assuming that he led his troops to Rangcheng, Jingzhou to fight, and the food and grass were transported from Xiyang City, Huangzhou to the whole journey by land. When he set off, he had a hu of grain, and when he arrived at the front line army in Rangcheng, there would be only less than three buckets left.

One hu of stone (stone) is ten dou, and about a hundred miles from Xiyang to Rangcheng. Seventy percent of a hu of grain is consumed by the civilians who transport grain and horses and other livestock.

Logistics issues have always been the first consideration in military operations. Since ancient times, so many military strategists have emphasized "just eat from the enemy" in order to reduce logistical pressure and it is best to solve it on the spot.

What if the local area is already weak and the fields are cleared and the food cannot be found?

I can only wait for the rear to deliver the food and grass, and I have to kneel down any powerful soldiers in a hundred battles.

Therefore, the dispatch of grain and grass is the top priority, but there is an advantage in combating in the Yangtze River Basin, which is that it can use the convenience of water conservancy to save time and effort by transporting grain by ship.

But what if the combat areas in the future cannot use water transportation on a large scale?

Yuwen Wen felt that to prepare for the future, he had to seize the time to learn more, summarize the experience and lessons, find ways to grow up as soon as possible, and then he could publish a book.

The name is "The Art of War of Yuwen Zhu Gong", which is referenced from "The Art of War of Li Wei Gong" in the early Tang Dynasty.

Duke Li Wei was Duke Li Jing, the military god of the early Tang Dynasty. However, at this time, Li Jing was about teenagers and had just qualified to join the army.

In fact, this is just a joke. What Yuwen Wen thought was that one day the "Infantry Combat Ordinance" would be compiled.

How to train troops, how to march, how to camp, how to set up formations, how to fight, how to ensure logistics, etc., all are refined and doctrinal.

Will this make people feel like talking on paper?

If you are working behind closed doors and you will take it for granted, of course there will be such problems. Therefore, Yuwen Wen should summarize more military experience, especially various combat forms after tens of thousands of troops.

After leading troops to fight for six years, he commanded the alien Hulin Army. How to command a "normal" army is a problem that will be faced sooner or later.

Elite soldiers are blades, the majority of the soldiers in the prefectures and counties, and the government soldiers are backs of swords. The elite soldiers rely on the raids and beheadings. A large-scale decisive battle depends on the overall quality of the army. If only the Hulin Army can win a battle, then Yuwen Wen feels that he is at most a general, not a general.

Han Xin ordered more soldiers, and he was better. He was so cold that he could command any soldier. He used a new recruit who had just been trained for a while. Yu Wen Wen did not expect to do this, but he had to work hard to improve his command level.

He is not good at commanding cavalry operations at present, but he is ambitious to make a difference in infantry operations. In terms of qualifications and talents, he is probably not the same as a military god, but he has insight.

How to command tens of thousands of troops as flexible as arms? Then let each unit regulate its actions in accordance with combat regulations.

Training, marching, recruiting enemies, camping, and fighting. In accordance with the corresponding combat regulations, generals and officials of all levels know what they should do and do not have to be ordered by the commander in everything.

Everything is carried out according to the combat regulations, which is suspected of dogmatization, but the benefits are real. Yuwen Wen feels that since there are no particularly outstanding handsome talents except Shi Wansui, then we will improve the combat level of mediocre generals.
