Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Nanyang, Li Zhe stayed for more than half a month, switched time and space three times, and finally solved the equipment problem of Suwu Nanyang Camp. However, this time, he was unable to obtain three thousand sets of Kevlar in a short period of time.  No, it can only be replaced by a relatively low-end stab-proof suit. Although the protection of this thing is reduced, it is still very good as light armor for light infantry.

    After the Nanyang Battalion was equipped, the ratio of dragon spearmen, sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen was four to two to four. It was the relatively complete and improved version of the phalanx that Li Zhe had expected. In this era, as long as logistics is not a problem  , which basically eliminated the soldiers currently under each prince's command in a crushing manner.  .

    Let Xu Shu stay in Nanyang and assist Su Wu, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others to gradually erode and build Nanyang County, and then Li Zhe returned to Runan.

    When Li Zhe returned to Ancheng again, his level had reached the seventh level of Space-Time Madman.  By this time, the cooling time and stay time are no longer obstacles to him. The biggest use is actually the portable space.  At this time, the load capacity has reached 6.4 tons.

    In fact, during this period of time, most of the carry-on space load quota when traveling in time and space has shifted from industrial products to maintenance consumption. A large number of batteries, diesel, small generators and accessories, crossbows and paper account for the vast majority.  The phenomenon of carrying a large number of stab-proof clothing, crossbows, arrows, knives and shields in Nanyang this time is no longer common. The small primitive industrial system under Li Zhe is gradually becoming self-sufficient.

    Of course, when he came back this time, Li Zhe brought something different - crop seeds!  It's spring time, the weather is getting warmer, and it's time for spring plowing and sowing.

    This was of course a big deal for the Three Kingdoms in the agricultural era. All the soldiers and civilians under Li Zhe, from top to bottom, were nervous. From the military villages to the civilian villages to the ordinary refugees who had not yet entered the system, they all began to work day and night.  busy.  In this era, food planting is an annual event and cannot be missed.

    The seeds Li Zhe brought were prepared for spring plowing.

    Sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes have taken root and sprouted in the Three Kingdoms era. The seeds Li Zhe brought this time were wheat, rice and soybeans, especially rice, which is a specially obtained high-yielding hybrid rice. If planted along the Ru River, the irrigation problem can be easily solved.  If managed well, this will be military rations that are truly suitable for mass storage and equipment in the future.

    In addition, there are also some cotton seeds, which are ready to be widely planted in suitable areas in Runan County and Nanyang County.

    After explaining the things one by one, Li Zhe let his men do it. At present, the millions of acres of fertile land developed in Runan County are enough for his men to be busy for a while.

    ¡°In fact, the preparations made in all aspects for this spring plowing go beyond just the seeds in Li Zhe¡¯s hands.  The steel farming tools plows, hoes, shovels, picks, etc. made by the craftsman camp have been stored for a long time and purchased from various places. The most important thing is that a lot of livestock such as cattle, horses and donkeys transferred from Nanyang have also been prepared.

    In addition, hundreds of waterwheels and rollovers have been erected along the Ru River, and the construction of water canals for irrigation in the fields has also been stepped up. In short, from top to bottom, all manpower and material resources have recently been invested in spring plowing.  Everyone is so busy that their feet never touch the ground.  After experiencing the hellish famine years, the people who had just recovered could burn holes in the sky with their enthusiasm for farming.

    But even at such a critical moment, something went wrong.

    On this day, an emergency message from Zhao Yun¡¯s headquarters in Dingying was delivered to the city lord¡¯s palace: small groups of hundreds of rangers broke into the Dingying area and began to sweep along the flat areas along the river, specifically destroying farmland.  Several attacks by Zhao Yun's troops failed because they could not keep up with the mobility of the cavalry. They could only watch the opponent's constant intrusion and had no choice. The preparations for spring plowing in the Dingying area had stalled!

    ¡°Cao Cao, the old boy, is indeed here!  Li Zhe asked in his heart.

    Since Cao Ren¡¯s defeat, Cao Cao has been in a state of silence, and there has been no movement on the border. Although this is in line with the strategic judgment of the situation in advance, the long wait will still make people confused.  What will Cao Cao do next?  If nothing happened?  This is completely unlike this man's character.

    "Cao Cao and Cao Mengde have always been decisive in killing. He is the real hero of this era. How could he be so honest?"  This unscientific!

    Now, as expected, something happened here.  But it turns out that this is what Cao Cao did!  When the news came, Li Zhe felt relieved.  People like Cao Cao should not be underestimated. After all, he is the pinnacle figure of this era. What makes people feel scary is that he is ready to attack. Once any method is used, it will be worthless.  The light cavalry is the most common means of harassing and fighting, but what can it do to me?

    However, that is to say, once this light cavalry enters the hinterland, it willIt is also very troublesome. The damage caused is still a small matter, but it is a big trouble if it delays the main business of spring plowing.

    Li Zhe had to find a way to deal with it.

    ¡°Subsequently, under Li Zhe¡¯s order, a large number of militia troops were assembled from Ancheng, escorting a large amount of baggage to Zhao Yun¡¯s second camp in Dinying.

    These troops will be spread out along both sides of the Ru River, setting up camps every ten miles with militiamen inside.  Communication troops are used to assist communication between the camps. Once the rangers are discovered, they will immediately send troops to intercept and call for support. Troops will be sent out from all directions to attack and pursue them, which will surely severely damage them.

    Zhao Yun, on the other hand, sent his troops directly across the border to attack Yingchuan.  It's disrespectful to come back but not reciprocate. Cao Cao can attack Runan, but Li Zhe can't attack Yingchuan. Previously, everyone was working hard to reserve strength. Both sides had a tacit understanding and were preparing for future wars.  But now that Cao Cao has broken this tacit understanding, Li Zhe can't be blamed.

    More importantly, although the cavalry is highly mobile, it also relies on a large amount of logistics to supplement it.  If a war horse keeps exercising vigorously, it will need at least ten kilograms of horse feed every day, which is equivalent to the daily rations of ten infantrymen. Otherwise, it will not be able to run and will have no strength.  Therefore, without logistics, even the cavalry is like water without a source.  Nothing in this world can escape the arrogance of the belly!

    The ability of Cao Cao's light cavalry to continuously harass Dingying over long distances must be supported by the logistics strongholds in the rear. The logistics strongholds must be within a certain distance. In terms of distance, this distance is usually one day.  The round trip distance of horse power is approximately within a hundred miles.  Otherwise, if the war horse runs far away and loses its supplies, its fate will be worse than that of human infantry. It is common for them to fall to death directly.

    ¡°As for a logistics base of this size between Dingying County and Yingchuan County, there is no need to guess, it will definitely be Lin County.

    PS: I have something to do when I go out tomorrow, so I will move the noon update to the morning, and another update. Depending on the situation, I will find time to update outside. The time may not be fixed by then, so please understand.
