Chapter forty-ninth marching camp
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a gong. "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Wu Qiu patted Li Shimin, and Li Shimin felt a sense of relief all over his body. The remaining iron-blooded evil spirit was sucked out by Wu Qiu: "Go and see what's going on?"
Li Shimin responded, put on his clothes immediately and walked out of the tent. He saw the army outside busy but not messy, tight outside and loose inside. The troops responsible for camping defense were urgently mobilized. However, the other troops did not make any noise. Should they rest or rest. He couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It was still afternoon, and the army had been stationed here for three days. Although it was a temporary camp, the camp was arranged extremely well.
Marine camping is the basic skill of the general. Just like Fu said in the past world, Sima Yi sighed when he saw Zhuge Liang's signs of camping and camping. This is the reason. A temporary wooden wall should be surrounded by a barracks. The method of making is to cut two rows of tree trunks, one long and one short, burn the bottom of the trunks and then bury half into the soil. The long trunks are arranged in a tight row outside, and the short trunks are arranged in a row inside. Then, wooden boards are placed between the two rows of trunks, divided into two upper and lower layers. In this way, the part of the long trunks grows into a protective wall. The upper layer of the wooden board allows soldiers to patrol and wait, and the lower layer can store defensive weapons and allow soldiers to rest. It sounds like a simple city wall.

But this time they were different. They used a car array. They used thousands of large trucks to transport military rations, supplies and other items. When setting up camp, they directly used large trucks to form a protective wall and then erect wooden boards on it. This was much simpler.
When camping, the camp tents are opposite each other, and drainage ditches should be dug around the camp tent and between the camp. Soldiers are strictly prohibited from running around between each camp, and tents are not allowed to run around within the camp.
Digging a public toilet in each camp is interesting. The military strategy also attaches great importance to the hygiene of the military camp. It is difficult to emphasize that the location of the toilet is very important, and it must be far away from the water source and the place where food is stored. It must be a certain distance from the barracks, but not too far away, so as not to return to the team in time, and of course it cannot be too close. The military camp also attaches great importance to epidemic prevention, such as the domestic waste of people and livestock must be buried and burned in time, and seriously ill patients and infectious patients must be isolated, etc. These are all for the needs of hygiene prevention. Therefore, many time travelers understand the common sense of half-baked hygiene. When traveling to ancient times, they should teach the army to dig toilets and sprinkle lime. It is better to save as soon as possible!
In many ancient military books, it is clearly recorded that water must be boiled and drunk during the march, and no drinking of raw water is allowed. Perhaps the ancients did not know why these common sense issues were for, and they did not know that there would be bacteria in the water. However, thousands of years of war history have accumulated extremely rich experience and have already prevented all these problems.
Moreover, the army only marched for dozens of miles a day, which is not a joke. Firstly, the road conditions are too bad, and after leaving the official road, they are basically wild. Secondly, during the march, in summer, it is dawn at 5 o'clock in the morning and dark at 8 o'clock in the evening, a total of 15 hours. It is too hot at noon and can't walk. If there are tens of thousands of people, if camping in the evening and setting up camp in the morning, the process will be completed, and it will take 4 hours. At noon, we have to take a break, and for lunch, it will be nice to walk for 5 or 6 hours a day.
During the Spanish throne war, Churchill moved thousands of miles into Germany, and marched for 8 hours every morning at 6 am. He walked 4 kilometers per hour for less than 30 kilometers a day, and then started to build overnight camps at 2 noon to collect food, grass, fuel, fresh water, etc. He started to sleep at 8 pm and slept until 6 o'clock the next day. This was already a first-class strong army. Ordinary troops organized an army with imperfect training. If they marched like this, they would probably not be long before the army would be exhausted.
According to the statement in "Dream Xi Bitan", it was normal for ancient Chinese troops to march twenty miles a day! Of course, it would be possible to do more than 40 miles a day. But that is the most elite troops, and it can only be guaranteed for four or five days! The normal situation is 2030 miles.
The marching ability of pure cavalry is even weaker than that of infantry. In the mid-to-late 19th century, the US military's experiment was drawn to conduct marching experiments with a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment. The conclusion was that the infantry regiment would surpass the cavalry regiment after a certain distance (it seemed to be 150 miles).
The main reason is that the endurance of horses is far from comparable to that of humans. Horses may be able to travel a hundred miles a day, but they don’t have to move forward within a few days after the explosion, otherwise the horses will die in large quantities. Another point is that if the horses are not given food, the horses will spend more than ten hours a day to eat grass, and they still need auxiliary soldiers to take care of them during this period. I remember watching a documentary before and found that the military rations stored during the Qin State were even found. There were even several warehouses of unshelled rice in it. It is said that these were not eaten by the Qin army themselves. At that time, they mainly ate pasta. These shelled rice were all fed to horses. Even some delicate war horses were fed to bean cakes, eggs, etc. If they only rely on grass on the march, the horses would die faster.
When Li Shimin walked out of the tent, a group of personal soldiers immediately surrounded him and protected Li Shimin in the middle.
"What happened?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, and quickly headed towards the guardrail as he spoke.
The 50,000 troops camped were quite large, and they looked like a temporary town.
"General, it seems like a group of wolves surrounded us?" said a captain of the personal soldiers.
"Wolf pack?" Li Shimin stopped and laughed and cried: "A bunch of wolves, do you even want to warn?"
Perhaps ordinary people may not lose their scum when they encounter wolves, but a group of wolves do not even count in front of the army. At most, they can only add some wolf meat to the army.
"General, you'll know when you go and take a look." The captain of the personal soldiers looked solemn, without any intention of joking: "There are many wolves, which are very strange!"...
Capital City, National Master's Mansion.
Song Xiuxiu was sent to the National Master Mansion. She had always heard that the Marquis's Gate was as deep as the sea. She had only realized what it meant when she saw this National Master Mansion. The National Master Mansion was incredible. Compared with the house in her hometown, although it was exquisite, nothing was considered.
On that day, she walked into the fire without any intention of surviving. She even wanted to burn herself to death in front of the gate of the National Master's Mansion to see if the cruel man would be sad for her and shed a tear for her. (To be continued.)
