Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

At the same time, the Han army gathered a large number of craftsmen in the agricultural machinery and ordnance institutes to build a large number of weapons and equipment, and began to equip the army.

The first is the two infantry battalions that suppress bandits. Most of their armors are armor.

After all, compared to fish scale armor, pierced armor is easier to make.

Compared with rattan armor, the materials are more abundant, so the pierced armor is the best armor made by the Han army.

Of course, the defensive power of piercing armor is not as good as that of vine armor, that's for sure.

Then there is the militia equipment. These equipments still continue to be manufactured by the Han army. Wooden boards are added with iron sheets and sewed with cloth bags.

At the same time, because of the easy manufacturing performance of armor, the Han army had begun large-scale manufacturing.

After all, there are regulations on the pieces of nail that need to be pierced. All you need is a mold, melt the molten iron and pour it. It's a great job to polish it and beat it twice.

For a time, a large number of craftsmen were gathered in the same place to cast armor pieces in batches.

Their task is very important. They must cast enough armor pieces and assemble these armor pieces into armor before the decisive battle.

According to the current establishment of the Han army, there are three full infantry brigades, five full infantry battalions, one full naval battalion, one full cavalry brigade, and one personal guard, with a total strength of 550. Thousand [-] people.

Of course, this does not include the Guiyi Brigade in northern Xinjiang.

In addition, the Han army currently has only one auxiliary barracks left, and the others have been converted into regular soldiers and have entered various combat units.

The troops participating in the decisive battle of the Jiangnan Camp this time included two full infantry brigades, two full infantry battalions, a full cavalry brigade, and a personal guard, totaling 470 soldiers.

Assisting in the war were naval and militia battalions, with a total strength of 900.

Therefore, the total number of troops participating in the decisive battle was as high as 7.

According to the plan, the forces facing the Jiangnan Camp were two full infantry brigades, the fifth and seventh infantry brigades.

A full cavalry brigade was led by Cheng Huaiyuan.

The nine militia battalions were personally dispatched by Lu Yulin.

Therefore, in a head-on confrontation, the Han army invested a total of more than 3000 troops.

It can be said that the Han army took almost all the family property.

If they lose, big problems will inevitably arise.

However, there was no way, this battle was too hasty for the Han army.

In fact, according to the original idea of ​​the Han army, it was to capture Changsha County, and then take the opportunity to seize Rulin County and Ningzhi County, so as to use natural danger to confront Dagan.

In this way, as long as they can withstand Dagan's counterattack, and with the population of nearly one million in Changsha County, their Han army will be able to attack more counties in Dagan as long as they develop steadily for two years.

But no one expected that Daqian's counterattack would be very fast, but the leader turned out to be Guo Haoman.

Then, the Han army made a surprise attack and captured Rulin County without any effort.

Originally, the Han army had completed its scheduled combat mission at this time, but the development of things gradually became magical. Soon there were rumors that the Han army's 14 troops and Bailian's 40 troops were in Huanghe County.

As a result, Huanghe County went into chaos. Any official who can run can run faster than the other.

As for the Han army, it can be said that they took Huanghe County without any effort.

Then when the policy was implemented, the landlords, gentry and wealthy families rioted, and then three infantry brigades of the Han Army led nine militia battalions to Huanghe County to carry out bandit suppression operations.

Thanks to the stimulation of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, Lu Yulin and others, then the [-]th Infantry Battalion, launched a battle against Ningzhi County, and then successfully captured Yilan County.

At this time, the Han army's initial combat plan began to get out of control, the territory suddenly expanded several times, and the number of personnel was immediately insufficient.

A series of things happened after that.

Just like what happened in the six counties of Yilan County, although it was due to the adoption of a gentle policy, it was not because there were not enough personnel to stabilize the situation.

The territory expanded too much, which seemed to increase the strength, but in fact it made the Han army even weaker.

This rapid expansion of territory brought great hidden dangers to the Han army.

Just like now, the total strength that the Han army can bring out to participate in the decisive battle is only 7.

Among them, the number of soldiers is only more than 2. The number of soldiers deployed on the frontal battlefield is about 6000, and the total strength of the militia is only 3000.

It can be said that in terms of total numbers, the Han army has more than 7 people, and the Jiangnan camp now has about 8 people, which is barely a one-to-one ratio.

Judging from the number of soldiers facing each other, the Han army had [-] soldiers and the Jiangnan camp had [-] soldiers, which was considered one against two.

If we look at the number of combatants and the attitude of the Jiangnan camp, the Han army has about 3000 troops, and the Jiangnan camp can employ about 8 people.

Now, the gap has widened further.

It can be said that the current Han army is theoretically at a disadvantage.

Of course, this does not include the number of people lost in the ongoing offensive and defensive battles in Yilan County at this time.

According to Lu Yulin's plan, during the offensive and defensive battles, the servant army of the Jiangnan camp should be eliminated as much as possible and its effective strength should be weakened to reduce the burden in the decisive battle.

But even so, there is still a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides.

The servant army's fearless attitude also aggravated Lu Yulin's attitude of dragging it as far as possible under the walls of Yilan County.

It's a pity that Lu Yulin's strategy is very good, but the Han army cannot maintain it like this. It must launch a decisive battle and annihilate the Jiangnan camp in one fell swoop.

Even the Han army was prepared for the worst, that is, even if it could not annihilate the Jiangnan camp, it would still be beaten painfully to buy the Han army two seasons of summer harvest time.

The territory is too large and the population is too large. Food problems have become the biggest problem for the Han army at this time.

If the Jiangnan camp is allowed to spend three months here, the Han army's disadvantages will be infinitely magnified, and it will lead to a vicious cycle.

Therefore, this decisive battle is not a question of whether the Jiangnan camp can fight or not, but that the Han army must fight.

Lu Yulin naturally knew the current situation, so she seemed calm every day, but deep down she was more anxious than anyone else.

At this time, Liu Wu sent him a message that new war weapons would be put on the battlefield to improve the victory rate of this battle. He gave him the details of the weapons and his own plans.

The general meaning is that now Lu Yulin needs to hold on to the city and then wait for reinforcements.

After the reinforcements arrived, chariots served as the vanguard, followed closely by Cheng Huaiyuan's cavalry brigade. The [-]th Infantry Brigade acted as intersecting infantry to attack the Jiangnan camp, disrupting its formation as much as possible, and then the [-]th Infantry Brigade and Nine militia battalions took the opportunity to enter the battlefield, and the outcome was decided in one round.

Regarding Liu Wu's thoughts, Lu Yulin simply put away the letter.

Because most of Liu Wu's suggestions were pertinent, but this suggestion looked too high on the Jiangnan Camp, and also underestimated the servant army and their families controlled by the Jiangnan Camp.

Lu Yulin was certain that the most difficult decisive battle and the biggest problem for the Han army was not the Jiangnan Camp, but the group of old, weak, sick and disabled people controlled by the Jiangnan Camp.

But when Lu Yulin looked at the tank data Liu Wu gave him, he thought about it for a long time and finally decided.

Take a gamble.
