Chapter 309: The heyday of military capacity

To tell the truth without falsification, Murong Yanguo has always believed that even if Liu Yan is strong, there is a limit. After all, Liu Yan has been four years from nothing to now.

What can you do in four years? In terms of productivity in today's age, four years really can't do much. Even if you have a sufficient population, it is enough for Liu Yan to try to protect himself in Murong's family for four years. Perhaps even self-protection would seem worrying.

It can even be said that the Murong family believes that Liu Yan is weaker than Ran Min, who has just achieved a separatist regime. This refers to military strength, not economic capability. After all, Liu Yan has always been selling salt out, as long as he is not stupid, he must know that the Han Ministry is not weak in economic strength.

Now, the reality seems to have drawn the Murong envoys who came to the scene. If they don't admit that their judgment is wrong, they will not be worthy of being a regional power that is rising at a high speed.

"We must suggest to the king to interrupt the trade between Tuoba Daiguo and Han Dynasty." Yang Yu knew Murong Yanguo's national policy: "We have already taught Tuoba Daiguo, and originally intended to vacate part of the land for Tuoba clan. , The plan is to use Liu Yan only."

So, it sounds weird. Murong Xianbei beat all his surroundings, and even beat Yuwen Xianbei, Duan Xianbei, and Tuoba Xianbei who are all of the Xianbei clan. But after a beaten, he would always leave some for those tribes. The respite is not a policy of extinction.

Murong Xianbei's plan to go south has been going on for more than ten years. They have been accumulating strength, sweeping the surrounding area is also making relevant preparations for going south. Under the state policy of going south, they will tolerate many things, including Liu Yan forcibly occupying a peninsula on the eastern side of Liaoning.

In fact, the reason why Murong Xianbei can tolerate Liu Yan's occupation of a peninsula in Liao 1 East is relatively simple. Murong Jai's words are extremely crude. To put it bluntly, only because Liu Yan is Xianbei Tiefu, he is half of his own, since Liu Yan Being so miserable in Central Plains, I borrowed a piece of land to breathe.

In Yang Yu's opinion, Murong Jai seemed to be out of trouble. Liu Yan didn't mix in the Central Plains very badly. It seems that the mix is ​​very good. The coming of various envoys is the best proof.

What I have to say is that when all parties sent envoys to Qingzhou, only Ran’s Qin State and Zhang’s Liang State had communicated in advance, and the rest of Murong Yan State, Tuoba Dai State, and Eastern Jin Xiao~Dynasty~Ting were all Decide for yourself, it's just a coincidence that you will come across a piece.

Under the castle tower, troops continued to form phalanxes. The prosperous military capacity and the large number all present an absolute fact, that is, the Han Dynasty is definitely not as weak as some people think.

"How much is it?"

"It should be more than 10,000."

"There are more troops behind."

"The total is about 30,000."

Those who participated in the military parade were all the main force in the field. They came out from the camp and formed a square formation and walked down the tower. After going around in a circle, they stood still in the open space next to them, waiting for instructions for the next step.

A military parade lasted from the first hour of the morning (seven o'clock) to four o'clock in the afternoon (twelve o'clock). While everyone was watching the military parade, there were many attendants and maids busy behind.

Many people brought up tools and other necessary utensils, and then put on the necessary tableware and other things. The kitchen temporarily set up below the city has begun to cook, causing bursts of aroma to spread to the tower.

The military parade is not a simple march. After each phalanx is completed, it is a demonstration of various arms. The most impressive thing to the representatives of all parties is that the three thousand loaded horses are placed in a frontal array for impact. The movement of the horseshoe trampling makes the towers There will also be a slight tremor above it.

If the tiger and ben army showed an aggressive offensive, the assault cavalry showed an absolutely perfect division and encirclement exercise, the archers demonstrated galloping, and the cavalry exercise was an expert guard for Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei, and for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Xiao~chao~ting, Zhang's Liangguo, Ran's Qinguo were all shocking.

"We helped to drill that Tiger and Cardiac Army." Jiang Gan said triumphantly: "In the beginning, there were fewer than five hundred people, and later it developed into three thousand."

Xie Ai is more curious: "Why are there two styles of armor for the Tiger Army?"

Talking about the difference between system armor and non-system armor riding gear, the most obvious is that the non-system armor riding gear belongs to the Mingguang armor of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the system armor heavy riding is biased towards the Zha armor style.

"..." Jiang Gan didn't know at all, and said casually: "There should be tactical needs we don't know."

In fact, if you pay attention to the distinction, anyone can see that there are two systems for the armor of the Han army, one is the Mingguang armor system that tends to the Sui and Tang dynasties under Liu Yan's leadership, and the other is the Zhajia system during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods. The two different armors are very similar in one thing, that is, they are all forging, not forging.

The cavalry of the Han army showed a high degree of organization, especially the coordination shown by the tuxed cavalry and the archer cavalry.

At the moment of the infantry drill, the process of organizing the battlefield made everyone's faces more and more serious.

"Tower shield, strong crossbow plus Liannu..." Yu Yi looked very excited, he seemed to see the future belonging to the Jin army: "We can train troops in this way!"

The south of the Yangtze River lacks war horses, especially high-quality war horses. The main force of the Jin army is infantry. In areas with many water networks, they can compete with the cavalry-based Hu people. But if you go to the plains of Jin The army can only be slaughtered.

"It needs a lot...very much iron." Wang Chuoshen frowned, "We don't have that much iron."

How much does a tower shield weigh? At least thirty catties. The structure of the tower shield is almost all iron, and only a small part is padded with leather. Then a tower shield requires 30 catties of iron. In terms of the production capacity of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the small ~ dynasty ~ court can produce tens of thousands of irons. How many soldiers should the tower shield have no weapons in their hands?

In fact, Tower Shield is really not everyone can play, it consumes too much iron, it is second to the craft. Even if it is the small ~ imperial ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who wants to get tower shield soldiers, look at what the tower shield soldiers of the Han army look like, and then think about the physical fitness of the soldiers south of the Yangtze River...

"All are strong men around eight feet." Yu Yi clearly understood this, and he also frowned: "It is difficult to have high-quality troops in our area."

It is an indisputable fact that southerners are generally shorter than northerners. Especially after the end of the pre-Qin period in ancient times, the South does not know what kind of evolution has taken place, and it is difficult to have the tall stature that prevailed in the Warring States period.

In fact, the Jin army has a special unit, which is borrowed from the tactics of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the van. The problem is that this thing is a bit big, and how to repeatedly transport across the Yangtze River is a huge project and difficult problem. Secondly, there is a lack of horses in the south, and it seems too slow to use cattle to pull, and the number of times that the Jin army can use chariots is generally small.

If there is anything else that makes the people watching the military parade start to tremble, then the infantry battle formation after the formation is amidst the sound of dense clappers. Arrows are shot out from wave to wave, from three hundred and fifty steps. Beginning of coverage, almost non-stop coverage.

"At this level of strength, I am afraid that only armored equipment can dare to charge." Li Hong said with a pale face: "It's still the kind of charge that can withstand a certain loss."

"How about forming a shield formation like the Han army?" Yang Yu was wiping the sweat from his forehead. In the winter, his forehead was covered with sweat, showing his inner fear: "You can get close and get in, right?"

"I'm afraid it's still difficult." Li Hong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Han army has a shield wall in its foot formation, and it is impossible for them to let the cavalry watch."

A thought arises in many people's minds, just like the thoughts of many people from Shijie Zhao Guo and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, it is impossible to disagree that Liu Yan's Han Dynasty has really achieved the general trend.

"The Han people themselves are extremely good at foot fighting!" Yang Yu was talking about the Han people. When speaking, he looked at the Jin people such as Yu Yi not far away, and asked Li Hong in a low voice: "Last time we sent troops to Tiefu's site , Those people were wiped out with such troops?"

Li Hong shook his head and said: "It was the equipment that equipped the heavy cavalry to cooperate with the Qing cai to defeat."

Both of them were people who had seen the miserable situation with their own eyes. The densely hung corpses on both sides of the forest road still impressed them so deeply, let alone the Jingguan built with Murong Xianbei's heads.

Do you know the biggest difference between Han and Jin? It is the violent Han people who pay attention to revenge, but the Jin people give people an extremely weak and rigid impression.

In the history without Liu Yan, a group of people in the Central Plains also abandoned the name of the Jin people and called themselves Han people. They fought **** battles with the Hu people. Since then, the Hu people have different views on the same ethnic group south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River. name. In the later stages of history, no matter how the dynasties changed in the north, they were always called Han people, but many names were changed to the south of the Yangtze River. Under normal circumstances, people in the south of the Yangtze River were called southerners. The Nanren is actually a scornful name.

At the end of the Han military exercise, the ground was full of arrows.

Above the tower, each has set its place to prepare a banquet, but below is a large number of auxiliary soldiers recovering arrows.

In fact, early on, the Han army camp was full of cooking smoke, and a strong aroma was so reverberating in Xia Mi, including the surrounding area.

The banquet was full of the characteristics of Han Bu, not other, but plates of stir-fried dishes and carefully cooked seafood.

That’s right, cooking is an epoch-making product brought by Liu Yan. Otherwise, it won’t appear until the Song Dynasty, especially the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before the Song Dynasty, no one would believe that the menus of the foodies were actually very "unsophisticated". Cooking basically relied on stewing, or eating glutinous rice was popular. die.

At the beginning of the banquet, faced with the fragrant stir-fry, those who have eaten it are naturally impressed, and those who have not eaten it will just smoke their noses.

With the crisp sound of a small bell, everyone started, and many wondered why there was no vocal music or singing and dancing. After all, the banquet did not have vocal music and singing and dancing. It seemed very abnormal. All fun is the mainstream of Chinese civilization.

No one spoke after the start of the meal. Faced with the sumptuous dishes that had never been seen before, all of them were basically immersed in the case. They waited for a lot of food before they had time to look at each other, and the atmosphere turned from enthusiasm to weird.

"Everyone!" Li Hong raised the bottle, and Hong Liangsheng suggested: "Drink together for the majesty and might of the Han army!" He said and paid tribute to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan naturally picked up the wine bottle and asked everyone present.

Drinking a bottle of wine together, everyone is still looking at Liu Yan, Murong Xianbei's side opened its head, indicating that the prelude is over, it is time to talk about some business matters, but the matter is obviously not over.

"I am waiting for Shijie, do you think that?" Yang Yu first asked, waiting for him to face Yu Yi and others, many people immediately felt that there was a good show. Sure enough, he said, "Dare to ask poets and calligraphers, are you here to attack the stone jade together?"

Yu Yi really has a good hand of calligraphy, but it is obviously not a compliment to be called a calligrapher now. He looked at Yang Yu calmly, and said slowly: "Disdain to speak more than Nichen."

Yang Yu was furious at first, then sneered: "Nichen?" He looked around, pointed at Xie Ai, then at Jiang Gan, then looked at Liu Yan, and asked Yu Yi: "Are you talking about us?" "

Xie Ai and Jiang Gan looked at each other, and the two lay innocently but did not have any episodes. After all, Liu Yan was also involved.

"I have never been a minister to the young court." Liu Yan did not conceal his disgust, and said coldly to Yang Yu: "You are not worthy of being with me."

Yang Yu couldn't get angry with Liu Yan, because the fact is that he and Liu Yan are really not equals. The emperor is the emperor and the minister, and he can't deny this as shameless as he is. What he wanted has already appeared, that is, Liu Yan said that he did not claim court to the little court, but before he would continue to mock Yu Yi and other people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yan spoke again.

"It may be negotiable to hit the stone ingots together. Don't talk any more nonsense." Liu Yan said bluntly: "If you want to distinguish between the master and the slave, it is a waste of talk~lightnovelpub.net~ with its falsehood, it is better to be honest."

Xie Ai and Jiang Qian looked at each other again, and they were quite surprised that Liu Yan would be such a straightforward character.

"What Tiefu said." Yang Yu seemed to like to talk. He suggested: "The necessary division of labor and division is still necessary. What does Tiefu think?"

At this time, Tuobagu said silently to Yang Yu who was watching: I just watched and never said anything.

In fact, Tuoba Daiguo is being run over by Murong Yanguo, even if Murong Yanguo no longer beats Tuoba Daiguo, but Tuoba Daiguo Corundum Hun Tiefu has finished the battle, there is really no extra energy to participate in the attack. Shijie, especially attacking Shijie, is of little benefit to Tuoba Daiguo.

Liu Yan didn't respond, he really didn't want to take Li Yangyu. The subject of the next discussion has been set, and he doesn't need to say anything personally, it should be the subject of the discussion.

There is an outline, but it's really stuck. Honors need to think about it. Uh, can I ask for a recommendation ticket? Perhaps there will be another chapter today. (To be continued.)
