A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin joined the strict Northern Army camp under the leadership of an officer.

The military camp covers a very wide area, with military tents stretching for four or five miles, and schoolyards are all located in it.

Even in the scorching sun, there are still officers and soldiers practicing various basic tactics in various schoolyards.

Zhang Yue was amazed when he saw it.

In any era, the combat effectiveness of an army is directly linked to its training intensity.

As for the Cold Weapon Age...

The level of training intensity directly determines the outcome of the war.

A well-trained army, even if there are only a few thousand, can drive hundreds of thousands of mobs to run around like rabbits.

Even Liu Jin was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

He asked Zhang Yue in a low voice: "Zhang Shizhong, has the Northern Army been training like this?"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be almost the same..."

"Can the soldiers of the Northern Army be able to survive this training?" Liu Jin became confused.

Zhang Yue was also surprised. He knew very well that high-intensity training must ensure that the soldiers' nutrition can keep up.

An army that eats wheat rice and beans every day will definitely not be able to maintain training that is too intense.

For example, the Ming Dynasty army in later generations could be trained every five days and trained every month.

Most of the Ming army had not received systematic professional training even before going to the battlefield.

So, hundreds of thousands of people were chased by tens of thousands of Jianzhou soldiers like rabbits, and more than a hundred Japanese pirates could walk to the city of Nanjing with a swagger.

But the Northern Han Army in front of us is terrible and terrifying!

Almost every soldier seen in Zhang Yue's eyes was above seven feet and five inches tall, with a strong figure and Kong Wu was powerful.

Most of the soldiers are very young.

He is about twenty-five to thirty years old, and this is the peak moment of human male body.

What's even more terrifying is that in the schoolyards, the soldiers' movements were uniform and their attention was always highly concentrated.

Few people even bet on Zhang Yue and his line.

This shows that this army is probably not just about food and treatment, but beyond Zhang Yue's imagination.

Their military discipline and tactical discipline will also subvert his imagination of the army in the era of cold weapons.

So Zhang Yue walked forward two steps, walked to the officer who brought them in, bowed and asked, "Zun Jia, I wonder what the soldiers of the Northern Army eat on a daily basis?"

"Of course I'm eating meat!" The other party looked at Zhang Yue like a fool, and smiled and said, "The servant will not even know about this, right?"

"During the Tianhan period, General Ershi attacked Dayuan and ate 100,000 cows at one time, which is known to everyone in the world!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin looked at each other!

In this era when ordinary people can’t even fill their stomachs, the soldiers of the Northern Army actually have meat to eat!?

But the records in the historical books he has traced back seem to prove the authenticity of this matter.

In history books, Huo Qubing once despised the beef brought by the emperor's envoy sent to the army to work was not fresh enough, so he lost all of it...

When General Li Guang of Ershi attacked Dayuan, when Zi ordered Shaofu today, he transferred 100,000 cattle to supply military supplies.

Li Ling was surrounded by more than 80,000 troops led by the Xiongnu Khan.

As a result, he brought less than 5,000 infantry soldiers to deal with the main force of the Huns on Junji Mountain for several days, shooting and injuring at least 10,000 or 20,000.

Even if it weren't for Li Ling's army, they would have shot all the arrows.

I'm afraid the Huns may not be able to eat his army.

So the question is, what does Li Ling's troops, who were surrounded on Junji Mountain, eat?

Ordinary food may be difficult to supplement the physical strength required for days of high-intensity combat and breakthroughs.

The only reliable answer is probably that Li Ling's army carried a large amount of livestock with the army.

When Liu Jin heard this, he was shocked. He looked at the continuous Northern Army camp.

Just the garrison of Jitianmen is probably at least ten thousand people.

How much food do they eat every day? How much meat do they need to satisfy them?

He murmured softly: "The country is costly, is it cost-effective to raise so many troops?"

There was even a voice in his heart saying: "If you make peace with the Huns, you will be able to dismiss hundreds of thousands of troops, save countless military spending, and spend it on people's livelihood!"

Zhang Yue had sharp ears. He heard Liu Jin's self-talk. He thought about it, approached Liu Jin and whispered: "Of course it's a good deal!"

"The Han army is not only a sharp sword to resist foreign aggression and expel barbarians, but also a strong shield to protect the hometown and save the people from the disasters of water and fire!"

"In the Yuanguang period, the river was at the mouth of Huzi, and between Liang and Chu, the people of several counties were wailing and crying for more than 20 years. In the second year of Yuanfeng, the emperor returned from Taishan Fengshan and passed by Huzikou. He saw the tragic breach of Huzi. He ordered the army to carry firewood, bamboo and wood, and jump down by himself! More than 10,000 soldiers from the imperial guards came to the army from the generals, and all followed the orders to carry firewood to block the broken mouth. With three days of hard work, they would finally break the door. The river was to restore the old road, and the people of Liang and Chu were safe!"

"The emperor was sad about the miserable tragedy of Gouzi and the harsh sacrifice of the soldiers, so he wrote "Song of Gouzi"..."

This is a story clearly recorded in history books.

As a time traveler, Zhang Yue searched through history books and exhausted human history.

Only two armies were found, and they used their bodies to block the breach and saved the people with their lives.

One is the Han imperial guards, and the other is the people's soldiers two thousand years later.

As for the others...

The people were hit by disasters and did not take advantage of the situation to rob, and they were already the king's army.

Known as the hope of mankind, Midi, the Earth’s lighthouse, all saves disasters, tanks open the way, set up machine guns, and guard against the people as if they are guarding against enemies.

"In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, there was a severe drought in Guandong, locusts spread everywhere, and two million refugees gathered outside Hangu Pass to be fed. Among them, 400,000 people were not registered. It was the Northern Army who gave up their military camps and garrisons and gave their clothes to the people so that the people could have a place to settle down..." Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and said, "Do you think it's not worth it now?"

Of course, in fact, the refugee tide in the fourth year of Yuanfeng and even the Huzi breach were actually closely related to the Liu family's own policies.

Especially when a gourd breaks, it is more like a man-made disaster than a natural disaster.

However, these things have nothing to do with the Han army.

After hearing this, Liu Jin was stunned again.

Similarly, his teachers never told him these things.

They will only tell themselves that "the warriors are vulgar and should not be approached...", and they will only say that "the warriors are domineering and harming the country and the people."

But now, in Zhang Yue's mouth, he knew.

There was once a group of soldiers who had firewood and jumped down from the river with their hands, and used their bodies and lives to soothe the angry dragon.

There were once soldiers who vacate their camps and garrisons to give them to homeless people.

Compared with these soldiers who hold firewood and leapt down the violent river and breached the riotous river.

Compared with these soldiers who silently vacate their own camps and give them the barracks to the people who live in it.
