After the main force of the army received supplies outside Sanchuan City, Luo Zhaoyun ordered to set off early the next morning, which was a mighty and accelerated the marching speed.

As the war is imminent, the food has been improved recently. Each soldier can get one meat and two vegetables, butter and lamb oil into the pot, plus fine salt without poison, seasoning of other seasonings, and rice that crushes chaff. These subtleties have been improved and improved, allowing Dahua soldiers to eat and drink enough and their physical strength to increase.

Because the people of the Central Plains consumed coarse grains and could not remove the shells of rice, the rice became hard to cook, and the pasta was also the kind of black steamed buns, without oil and water, and only cooked some vegetables, the soldiers were very weak in their constitution and unable to increase their physical strength.

Of course, many people cannot even satisfy two meals a day, and the food and drink of soldiers is better than those of the poor.

In Dahua, the country has implemented mills to remove rice and husks and fine salt production, which has improved some details of the food. In the past few days, beef and mutton were added, meat and vegetables were combined to make the heroes who went out to fight, eat a lot, speed up the marches during the day, and temper their physical fitness.

After a day of rushing, I finally arrived at the front line at dusk and met with the cavalry vanguard and set up camp.

Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing, Xue Wanren and others came to welcome His Majesty, report on the combat results and the situation of the Turkic main force.

In the big tent, Luo Zhaoyun sat in the main seat, and 70% of military generals and 30% of civil servants and ministers gathered in the tent to discuss military information.

After hearing Pei Renji describe the details of the battle, the arrangement of troops, the use of longbows, crossbows, and black gunpowder disrupted the impact rhythm of the Turkic cavalry, causing the enemy to change from active to passive, and instead were defeated by the cavalry of Dahua.

If it is a head-on battle, it is hard to say. Although the Dahua vanguard has a cavalry formation and charges with a chariot hanging formation, the Turkic cavalry's goose-shaped formation also has some secrets of military tactics. When it really fights, the battle is fierce. Even if the Dahua vanguard can win, it will still be a severity. It will definitely not only hurt three or four thousand people like this, but only injured more than 20,000 troops from the enemy and captured thousands of Huns.

"Your Majesty, our vanguard killed more than 21,600 enemies, captured 426 people, fled thousands, with more than 30,000 war horses, and about 10,000 casualties. There were nearly 10,000 horses that fled in the chaos. All scout camps have been dispatched. In addition to investigating the main forces of the Turks, they are also searching for the lost horses..." Pei Renji reported the results of the battle.

"How many casualties are our vanguards?" Luo Zhaoyun asked about the casualties of the vanguards and was very concerned about the soldiers.

The civil and military ministers in the account were greatly touched. After hearing such good news, His Majesty was not overjoyed, but calmly asked about his own casualties and sympathized with his generals, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the vanguard army has killed 3,400 people, more than 1,240 people seriously injured, and more than 2,150 people slightly injured. At present, the injured barracks are full, and many seriously injured soldiers have been bandaged. Because the military medical team with the army is full of staff and the herbs are sufficient, the injured have a 30% chance of survival than before. The slightly injured will be treated in time and can recover after half a year of rest."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly and said, "Arranging the wounded and seriously injured people, immediately send someone to Sanchuan City for treatment. The minor injured people will seek medical treatment at the military camp at any time. The dead and injured war horses will be cut and stored in time, and the cellar will be used..."

If tens of thousands of war horses are made of 100 kilograms of meat, it will be one million kilograms of horse meat. However, in spring, the weather is warm and it is easy to break out. Therefore, slaughter and cut meat as soon as possible, then dig a few cellars to store the meat, and apply salt on the surface, so that it can be stored for a longer time.

At least during the war with the Turks, there was meat to be used, and the excess could be sent to me for storage in Sanchuan City. Then I found a way to freeze ice cubes and transport meat back to solve the shortage of meat in Chang'an City. People in the capital are currently lacking meat. After all, these days, they do not eat pork, and are rarely willing to slaughter them. Although mutton is OK, Guanzhong is not a pastoral area. Moreover, there are many fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered after years of war. Therefore, chicken and duck meat are often used in recipes of powerful families or restaurants in the city. They are used more, and beef and mutton are relatively less.

"Some of the incomplete horses cannot be used for war, but will not die in the short term. They will be loaded into a car and transported back to the capital. When used in this way, the meat will be kept for a longer time." During the battle, Luo Zhaoyun also cared about people's livelihood. Only by allowing the people in the capital to eat better and their lives will improve compared to before can the local people support and support Dahua more.

In this era, the government needs the support of local customs. The regime needs the support of local people. Today, even though Dahua has gained a foothold in Chang'an City, the recognition of the people in Guanzhong, cooperation with the court and the prosperity of the capital, are all guarantees for Dahua's stable operation. Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun always cares about the living conditions of the capital. After those days of private visits, he knew the sufferings of the people and could improve the lives of the people. Even if it was just a temporary relief for the supply of meat, it was meaningful and was not useless.

"How far is the main force of the Turkic people now?" Luo Zhaoyun asked the wounded and arranged the spoils.

Pei Renji replied: "About 260 or 70 miles, at the speed of the Turkic marching, if you don't rest tonight, you will arrive tomorrow. If you are on a normal camp, you will arrive here in the afternoon tomorrow. I have sent scouts and patrol guards to always investigate the movements of the main Turkic forces, with the pen name Turkic sneak attack."

After hearing this, Luo Zhaoyun praised: "You did a good job. Be careful that the main Turkic army sent a vanguard to attack the camp in the second half of the night. In addition, checking gunpowder, crossbow arrows, weapons, etc. This time, the battle with the main Turkic forces is not a matter of a day or a night. It may take a long battle. The gunpowder is prepared to make the Turkic suffer all the hardships. There is also a long shield formation, which is specially prepared for the Turkic cavalry and assembled to let the Turks see the craftsman spirit of our Central Plains."

The so-called long shield array is to make many large iron shields of standard size, with screws installed at the corners. At that time, they can be connected to each other, connected up and down, and spears and spears are inserted to form a steel city wall, which makes the Turkic cavalry dissuade.

Various means were only used to deal with the Turkic army this time. In addition, the army of Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, Guo Xiaoke and others were scattered in several places to hide. After the war, they carried out surprise attacks and attacks, playing the role of surprise troops.

Pei Yuanqing stood up and asked to lead the cavalry to fight the vanguard and kill the enemy tomorrow. Xue Wanren and Shi Dana also wanted to kill the enemy quickly and charge into battle.

"Don't be anxious, several generals. Tomorrow, you will be welcome to lead a team of 10,000 cavalry teams to attack and fight the enemy in turn. Pei Qing, Lai Qing, you two are responsible for the cooperation of the infantry phalanx, as well as the bow and arrow formation, firearm battalion, etc., to block the Turks' powerful attacks!"

"I understand!" The generals present bowed and took the order. All the side generals and the commander were full of fighting spirit and ready to look forward to the coming of tomorrow's war.
