It takes 320 miles to travel for seven days, and it takes 46 miles a day.

"Is it too urgent to have a seven-day and three hundred and twenty miles?"

In the big tent in the camp, there was a knight wearing iron armor asking Ah Huang. "There is a military strategy, rolling the armor and moving forward, and walking on both sides of the road, and fighting for profit for a hundred miles, then capturing the three generals. The strong ones first, and the tired ones later, and the method arrives eleven. If you fight for profit for a fifty miles, then the general will approach the upper general. If you arrive half of the method. If you fight for profit for a thirty miles, then two-thirds will arrive."

This knight was born into the Guanlong general's sect and was also a maid from a wealthy family in Chang'an. He came to Annan and became Qin Lang's vassal knight. This time he was ordered to take 1,500 brave men from the village to Pingmeng Village.

As a general, although he had never been to the battlefield before, he had always read many military books, and he still knew a lot about the speed of marching.

Generally speaking, even the more elite military soldiers had a normal marching speed of only 30 or 40 miles a day. Now the task given to him is to bring 1,500 people with 1,500 people with 100 miles of food and grass equipment, and to travel 320 miles in seven days.

Although there is a relatively smooth road from Zhennanguan to Gaopingbao, there are still 120 miles from Gaoping to Pingmeng, so the road is very difficult to walk.

A group of brave and civilians in the village, carrying full equipment, had to travel forty-six miles a day, and this speed was basically up to the request of the soldiers in the palace.

It is very serious to miss the military period, and the knights dare not be careless.

Ah Huang chuckled, "Don't talk about war with me on paper. Sun Wu's military strategy is a saint of generals, but you can't just look at Sun Tzu's military strategy."

The knight just quoted the military battle in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Ah Huang actually heard Qin Lang tell his children. Sun Tzu said that in general, the initiative is the most important thing to use troops? From the general accepting the orders of the king, to collecting the people, organizing the army, and then to confronting the enemy? In this process, it is the most important and difficult to seize the opportunity.

The difficulty lies in turning roundabout detours into shortcuts and turning disadvantages into advantages.

So use roundabout feints and use small profits to lure the enemy? This way, you can set out later and reach the important place you are fighting for.

Military struggle is important? But military struggle is also dangerous.

If the entire army is equipped with a chance but is competing for the lead, they cannot reach the predetermined position on time. If they are competing for profit with a lightweight equipment, the baggage will be lost.

Put away your armor and travel day and night? Walk a hundred miles to compete for profit? The generals of the three armies may be captured by the enemy? The strong soldiers will go first? The weak soldiers will then? As a result, only one-tenth of the troops will arrive on the battlefield.

If you walk fifty miles to compete for profit, the generals who go up to the army will suffer setbacks and only half of the troops will be able to arrive.

If you travel thirty miles a day to compete for profit, only two-thirds of the troops can arrive. The army cannot survive without supplies, and it cannot survive without food.

Grandson’s summary? Is military struggle important? But it is also very dangerous at the same time.

Marines thirty miles a day? Are they already called danger? This speed may also mean that you have to abandon logistics, supplies, food and other food, and will exhaust the soldiers? Maybe one-third of them may even be left behind.

Even if they have traveled thirty miles, the army lacks the ability to fight at this time, so it is dangerous. If they traveled fifty miles or one hundred miles, it will basically be even more dangerous.

Now Ah Huang asked a group of civilians to march fifty miles a day and bring food and supplies for 100 days, which really made him embarrassed.

"Old Guo, you are a general, so you also know that Sun Wu's military strategy was summarized from the wars during the Warring States Period. It also talks about the wars during the Warring States Period. That era is nearly a thousand years away from us now, and there is still a big difference. For example, in terms of logistics and food transportation, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a long-range dynasty. Although you are a brave villager, a group of ten people are equipped with four pack horses, and the teams and brigades and battalions have pack teams, so there is actually no problem with logistics and food transportation."

"Besides, the military battle is also said. Those who are not familiar with mountains, forests, obstacles, water nets, swamps and other terrain cannot march or use guides, and they cannot get the right place. Therefore, when using troops to fight, they must be good at using fraud, and taking actions depends on profit. Therefore, when the army moves quickly, they must be like a wind, when it is smooth, when it is like a forest, when it is attacked, when it is fire, when it is defended, when it is hidden, when it is cloudy, when it is cloudy, when it is charged, when it is thunder............."

Ah Huang pointed at the sand table.

"I'm asking you to march 300 miles in seven days, but in fact it's equivalent to marching in our territory. There are no enemy troops in the territory. Don't worry about ambush attacks. There will be supplies along the way, the road is very smooth, and there are guides. Although half of our people are immigrants in the Central Plains, they have adapted to the weather here and the weather here. Be familiar with the geography here. Do you think you can't walk fifty miles a day?"

"My Datang Post Station and Buyi stipulate at least fifty miles a day!"

"If there were no pack horses and heavy armored equipment, you would have to walk thirty miles on that day. Now you are actually equivalent to walking lightly, and fifty miles a day is a small one."

In the Battle of Bai Qi and Huayang, he led his army to travel 800 miles in eight days, while Cao Cao chased Liu Bei, and five thousand elite cavalry traveled 300 miles a day and night, severely attacking Liu Bei's army.

The champion Hou Huo Cavalry and Ten Thousand Cavalry of the Western Han Dynasty went out of Longxi for six days, marched for more than a thousand miles, killed King Jielan, killed King Lu, held Prince Hunxie, captured the first captive level 8,960, captured the Jin people who sacrificed the heavens, fought for more than a thousand miles in six days, and fought such a big victory, at least a hundred miles a day.

Even if the Qin ruler and the Han ruler are shorter than the Tang ruler, the marching speed is still very powerful.

The first thing that affects the speed of the marching is the load bearing and the second thing that is the training level.

An elite team can march for a long time without being chaotic, but if some teams lack training, they may encounter various problems and may even go the wrong way.

Ah Huang believed that although the 1,500 people who went to Mengping Village were not soldiers, they were all young and strong, and they could eat and fight, so they could train.

Even more, many of these young and strong men are militia or reserves who have had military training. They are more familiar with the orders and will not make trouble during marching.

The road they took was a newly built road, flat and safe, and there were supplies along the way without any dangers, as well as familiar guides, etc.

With so many favorable conditions, traveling fifty miles a day is already calculated according to the minimum standards.

If you speed up, it is possible to have a hundred miles a day.

"These young men of ours are still very well-trained. Even if they light a torch at night, it's okay. Others may only marching for three or four hours a day, but we can guarantee a marching for at least six or seven hours. One hour is planned according to the lowest ten miles. Isn't it easy to have six or seven miles?"

"Besides, I have specially ordered fried noodles for you for ten days. If you have this thing, you don't even need time to cook, so you can walk for another hour."

Ah Huang's reasons are also very good.

Although he sent a group of brave and civil servants in the village, he provided sufficient guarantees. He had pack horses to solve the problem of load-bearing. He did not worry about safety when marching in the country, and he was not afraid of getting lost. He was familiar with the terrain and climate and would not be unacceptable to the land. Although he was brave and civil servants in the village, he was mostly reserves. He had received basic military training, was familiar with the military drums, could understand commands, etc. Under various favorable conditions, he could rush a hundred miles a day.

"Can you do it? If it doesn't work, stay in Zhennan Pass and I'll send someone else."

The Knight blushed and still gritted his teeth, "I can do it!"

Ah Huang stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "That's right, men, how can you say no? Look at that guy Qian Dexing liked to talk about military affairs on paper when he first came here, but as long as he was willing to work hard, he would have been honed from the barbarians in a few years. Now he is the best among our Wu'anzhou knights. You kid should work hard. Although you are given 1,500 brave men in the village this time, Mengpingzhai has a good location. You can attack and retreat and defend, and you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Don't miss it."

"Teaching from Mr. Xie!"

The young knight crossed his hands and thanked him.

"Thank you, why do you do? We are all vassals of Duke Wei, not officials of the court. In the future, the family will survive in this place for generations, and our descendants will be neighbors and friends. So, Duke Wei always teaches us to be united."

"Mengping Village is an important place. It is not only the northern gateway to Gaoping Fort, but also the key point to Jinjiang. It is only 80 miles away from Jinjiang. You know that Jinjiang is an important tributary of the largest river in Annan (Honghe). It originated from Juchengyao's heart. Its source is Funing Village, which is also the main place of Juchengyao's big village. Last time we fought all the way to Funing Village, and then we were blocked for a long time and could not capture it. This time, Juchengyao's barbarians came out in full swing, and Funing Village was also empty. If I hadn't had the important task of guarding the key points, I would have personally led my troops to pull out this village."

Ah Huang pointed to a location on the sand table, "This is Funing Village. Look at this location, it is at the source of Jinjiang River. You can go straight to Jiaozhou City. Here is Bainan Village, which can go east. Only more than a hundred miles away is Gaoping Fort. You can go along the river valley to Qixi and come from Mount Qing."

"When you go from Funing to the northeast, you can go directly to the source of Zuoxi upstream, go down the Youxi upstream, and head to Yongzhou. When you go out from Funing to the east, you will have mountains, rivers and valleys passing through Andezhou, and Xiyuanzhou will reach the source of Zuoxi upstream......"

After Ah Huang said this, the knights also understood the importance of coming to Funing Village. Gaoping Fort is not far southeast of Funing. Here we can connect to two big rivers north of Jiaozhou to the west. Looking for the river and Jinjiang can both reach Jiaozhou City directly and reach the sea and hold the river. Not to mention that Gaoping is still at the source of the upper reaches of Zuoxi. It goes down along Ping River and goes straight to Zuoxi, and goes east to Yongzhou, and then goes east to Guangzhou and enter the sea.

The importance of Gaopingbao is fully reflected at this time.

"No wonder Duke Wei built such an enclave hundreds of miles northwest of Wu'an Prefecture. It turns out that this place is so important." The knight sighed.

The one-step chess that year now shows great importance. If it weren't for the Gaoping Fort built in this enclave that year, Wu'an Prefecture would probably not be immune to being invaded by the Juchengman.

Now Wu'anzhou can still use Gaopingbao, an enclave of enclaves, as a forward base for counterattack, and quickly push the troops westward to Mengping, and even connect with Qiujiang and Jinjiang.

Like Lang Son, Gao Ping will become the two major transportation hubs in Wu'an Prefecture.

Qin Lang is now planning to take Funing down and make it an important hub for Yunnan, Guizhou, Guizhou and Jiaotong University.

"Now is a good time to grab territory and pick up empty villages. It depends on your own abilities. Do you have the ability to protect Ping Mengzhai for me and assist Niu Jianhu, and General Qin Yong and others to take Funing, where is Ande?"

The young knight was excited and blurted out excitedly, "I will definitely not miss this opportunity!"
