Chapter 997: Adding Fuel to the Tactical Smoke
"Quick, quick, pull us up."
At the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, people on two modified 100-stone propeller boats urged.
A hole was specially left on the wooden board to avoid damaging the propeller.
Dozens of people on the board pulled the hand gourds at the same time, and the wooden board was pulled up with a clattering sound.
Once on the top, twenty horses were tied with ropes and driven forward.
"Why don't you wait for more ships to transport them together? Just modify a ship or build a new ship, and leave immediately, in bits and pieces."
The man pulling the hand gourd at the Hukou Waterfall muttered. In his opinion, they should form a scale.
Others also felt that what he said made sense. It was difficult to dispatch one ship today and two ships tomorrow.
Li Yi, who sent out the boat, said goodbye to Tan Shida's family at Lijiazhuangzi at this moment.
The family of three should go back and organize people to repair the road there.
There were one hundred Yulin flying cavalrymen traveling with them, responsible for carrying exchange coupons and anti-malaria pills.
There are no tools for work, so we plan to buy them from other places with exchange vouchers, such as the line in Guangzhou.
Everyone waved, and Qin Shui looked at Li Yi eagerly, but Li Yi's eyes did not fall on her at all.
After speaking, Li Yi turned around and went back to find Li Longji.
Li Longji's family of five came, including Li Dan and Concubine Dou Lu.
It was too hot, and it was too hot for Li Dan and Concubine Dou Lu to stay in Baifu Hall. The main reason was that they had nothing to do and were upset.
They planned to stay in Lijiazhuangzi for a few days. It was easy to get sick when it was too hot.
Li Dan was afraid of death, and he wanted to live to see the Tang Dynasty become stronger.
Li Longji's family of three was the little guy who wanted to come. He had no friends in the palace, and he didn't want to play with other princes and princesses.
The only place he knew where he had friends was Lijiazhuangzi, who were the same age or older than him and had a common language.
There were special sand piles for them, as well as various carts and shovels.
They pushed carts by hand for transportation, and many adults forgot their childhood and didn't care at all.
Li Yi was their best mentor. He could play with two- and three-year-old children.
Li Yi would seriously use a small shovel to load the sand into the bucket, and then make a "dudududu" sound with his mouth to transport the sand to the castle that a little kid wanted to build.
In fact, he could play with children of all ages. He knew what children needed.
Including slightly older children who were playing with the playing cards and chess that he had printed.
When adults saw this, they thought that children could just play by themselves.
Li Yi understood that they were playing a war game.
When the playing cards and chess were turned over, it meant that a soldier on one side had died.
So he placed an order with the Labor Union to make a little man with a little support underneath, some holding a knife, and some holding a bow.
"Xiao Yi, you are sending out one ship after another. Why don't you gather them together?" Li Dan had the same idea as the people at Hukou Waterfall.
He had never fought in a war, let alone given his own orders in terms of fighting.
Li Yi said patiently: "That's too slow. I know some people think that clustering is the best, but that actually refers to fighting.
When it comes to transportation, the pursuit is efficiency. It seems that the fragmented teams can't transport much each time.
But it is definitely more than waiting for the number to be enough to transport together. Each ship of supplies may change the direction of the war.
Even on the battlefield, the two sides have equal forces, and the rear army can reinforce in batches, and the tactics of adding fuel can be played."
Li Yi has his own views on this. Sometimes there is no way to use the tactics of adding fuel in war.
For example, each side has 50,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness is equal. Every day, some people will die in the fight.
There is no time to organize more people in the back, so they are sent forward in batches.
If one side sends, the other side must send, even if the people sent on the same day become casualties.
If one side sends, the other side does not send, but gathers in the rear.
If the assembly is not completed, the strategic location in the front will be gone. When the assembled team goes over, it will not be able to beat the other side at all.
It is the same when it comes to transportation. You can't wait. Load things and send them out as soon as a ship comes out.
Now they are transporting gasoline, diesel, rockets, and explosive packs.
One ship can support them for a while.
Queen Wang was born in a family of military generals, she understood, and she said: "Send one more rocket, the soldiers will be more confident."
"Is that so?" Li Dan asked Queen Wang.
"Well, the soldiers would rather eat worse, but they want better weapons. Food can cope with a few bites, but weapons are life."
Queen Wang was very sure that even if the food was not good, as long as there were rockets, the morale of the soldiers would not be weak.
A rocket can kill many enemies if it is accurate.
It is better not to eat canned food and eat boiled barley every day than to have rockets.
Li Dan understood, and turned to ask Li Yi: "You have been delivering weapons?"
"The front line is short of weapons, if I don't deliver weapons, what should I deliver? The supplies are being delivered from Shu. Tomorrow, a batch of Yulin Flying Cavalry will be sent out to deliver diesel and explosives to Guo Zhiyun within five days.
No, deliver it to the Hexi Jiedushi within three days, and let the Hexi Jiedushi deliver it to Guo Zhiyun. It is easy for cavalry to fall on that road."
Li Yi wanted to mobilize Yulin Flying Cavalry, but he didn't want Yulin Flying Cavalry to get into trouble.
It takes one day to deliver express from Chang'an. There are too many things, and the horses in the post station are not enough, so Yulin Flying Cavalry can only ride three horses per person and travel a long distance.
"Xiao Yi, I heard that the battle is very fierce at Zhang Xiaosong's place, so why don't you deliver it to him?" Concubine Dou Lu thought of a place.
"The battle is almost over. There is only one Tubo army left. If I were Zhang Xiaosong, I would only attack Tubo's baggage train. There can't be many people in the baggage train."
Li Yi was not worried about the battle situation in Dashicheng. In history, both tribes could hold out, let alone now.
When the two tribes confronted Tubo, the Anxi Jiedushi took prisoners and treated the wounded. The other troops took a short break and could come out to cooperate with the two tribes.
As long as Zhang Xiaosong was not stupid, he would definitely go to pinch the Tubo logistics troops.
...
Two days later, as Li Yi said, Zhang Xiaosong met another Tubo baggage train.
At noon, the Tubo baggage train encountered a small river that they didn't know how to divert.
Now they rested, wasted time, ate something, and replenished water. The baggage train continued to move forward.
They stopped in the evening and surrounded the caravan in a circle as a temporary camp.
At the same time, scouts were sent out to conduct reconnaissance.
This team had a lot of supplies, and was composed of two thousand households, two thousand people.
One thousand cavalry, one thousand infantry, all cavalry, Tubo did not have that foundation.
Zhang Xiaosong looked at the wind direction and wind speed and decided not to use explosive packs, and the landlords did not have any surplus food.
He collected a lot of hay and mixed it with green grass in bundles.
By the way, he divided the troops to arrange, and after eating two groups of Tubo scouts who were moving forward in succession, he led the people to push forward, put the grass in place, and started to light a fire.
At night, under the starry sky, it didn't take long before a lot of smoke appeared, rolling along the wind towards the place where Tubo formed a car formation.
