    Section 4 March to Weilin Village

    After confirming the strategic arrangement, the war weapons of the Elantra army were quickly launched. Pulet left 1,500 people plus 500 newly recruited militiamen to guard Deepwater City, while Lin Fenghan led a total of more than 4,000 troops from the Army and Marine Corps to march towards the city.  Heading south.

    "Is the information accurate?"

    Lin Fenghan pointed to the south and west of Waterdeep City on the map.

    Noni said seriously: "The light cavalry has already investigated. I am sure that the more than 3,000 regiments in the south will definitely go from Weilin Village on this road to fight with the aristocratic coalition in Mulan Town. As long as we are in this area,  If we are waiting on the roads in the area, we will definitely encounter Brant¡¯s Southern Army.¡±

    "Well! The place we are going to is about 40 kilometers away from Waterdeep City. Although horses, donkeys, and oxen were recruited in the morning, the total number of horses, donkeys, and oxen distributed among the entire legion was less than 600. The transportation capacity is not too sufficient!"

    Lin Fenghan sighed: "The army march is very troublesome. Although we have confirmed that there is no danger in the surrounding area, it will take at least 7 hours to reach those hills!"

    Corland rode on the horse and smiled gently at Lin Fenghan: "Our army of 4,000 people has 200 large carriages, and the weapons and armor of more than 2,000 infantry are placed on them. Each person only carries 7 days of food.  , plus the average weight of the weapons and equipment is less than 20 kilograms, which is very light, making this kind of march very easy."

    "Our infantry is not marching slowly, it's just that the logistics carriage is a little slower, but that doesn't matter. I estimate that we will reach our destination between 6 and 7 pm."

    "Really? Colander, I would like to ask you whether my marching order is correct! Is there any shortcomings?" Lin Fenghan lowered his head humbly and sincerely asked for advice. Colander is experienced and has participated in many large-scale events.  Fighting knight.

    Colander raised his head seriously and said seriously: "The light cavalry is scouting within more than ten miles ahead, the spearmen, swordsmen and light infantry are in front, the archers, crossbowmen, field artillery vehicles are in the middle, and the heavy infantry are  Then, at the end of the baggage train, heavy cavalry were on both sides of the marching group, and the entire army was more than 2,000 meters long."

    "This mixed marching formation is actually very good, but you need to learn different marching in different places, different regions, and different times. All marching formations are based on the current situation."

    "Your formation is very standard and very defensive, but the overall order and closeness are still a bit lacking, but these are not important. Caution is one of the essential qualities of a good commander, and you are undoubtedly an excellent commander as well."  Army general." Kolland commented seriously.

    Lin Fenghan¡¯s eyes were stunned and he said softly:

    "Different situations?"

    "different time?"

    ¡°Different locations?¡±

    ¡°Different ways of marching?¡±

    "Combat requires flexibility and change."

    Lin Fenghan's eyes lit up, he bowed his head to Ke Langde seriously, and discussed seriously.

    "Ke Langde, this is my first time to go out and lead an army to fight. I would like you to discuss in detail what the army needs to go out to fight. Please give me some advice."

    "Go ahead! I'll tell you everything I know." Corland nodded seriously.

    "In our current era, what is the general speed of the Army's field marches, and how many miles can it march every day?"

    "The army marches in two situations. The first situation is marching within the control of one's own country. When the surrounding area is safe, the army marches together with logistics supplies. The infantry marches 30 to 50 kilometers per day, and the cavalry marches 50 to 50 kilometers per day.  More than 100 kilometers, the specifics mainly depend on the proportion of weapons, equipment, and supplies brought."

    "If you are in an enemy area, then marching must be a very serious matter. The light cavalry scouts the surrounding situation, and the army is always on alert to prepare for battle. It also has to camp and eat. It is common to march 10 kilometers to 20 kilometers a day.  Of course there are exceptions to this."

    "Well! I have read military books, and it says the same thing. The army's marching supplies and safety are very troublesome." Lin Fenghan nodded seriously and continued to ask.

    "The book says that you must be familiar with the marching route, and you must not leave water sources, woods, or roads that are too long. You must march seriously in the desert, next door, and mountains. We will not encounter water sources when marching in this area.  "Is it a supply problem?" "Baron, after all, we have brought 200 large carriages. The rations brought by the entire army are enough to feed our entire army for more than 10 days. The southern continent is a rainy area with rivers, lakes, and forests.  Most of all, we don¡¯t need to worry about water and food issues at all.¡±

    "The only issue worth considering for us at the moment is to arrive before Brant's southern army passes through Welin Village.?There, occupy the home position, set up camp first to provide supplies, survey the surrounding environment, and strive to get priority over the enemy.  "Kolander suggested seriously.

    "ah!"

    Lin Fenghan pondered and asked: "Keland, we can indeed increase the marching speed now and reach Weilin Village at about 5 o'clock. However, once the rapid march is started, laggards will inevitably appear, and after the soldiers arrive at the location,  Except for the cavalry, we don¡¯t have enough physical strength. Once a battle breaks out in the front, it will definitely not be beneficial to us!¡±

    Kelande nodded thoughtfully and said seriously: "Baron, you are indeed very thoughtful! I really want the whole army to march quickly to reach the location quickly, but if a battle really breaks out, then we will definitely suffer. We must find a good one."  This method can not only occupy Weilin Village first and establish defense, but also maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops. It¡¯s so troublesome!¡±

    Lin Fenghan rolled his eyes and said slowly: "How about this! Let's divide the entire army into two parts. I will leave you with 100 light cavalry. I will lead 300 light cavalry, 200 heavy cavalry, and light infantry to march in front. You  Then lead the rest of the army and baggage to march in the rear. When I arrive at the location, I will deploy defenses and wait for your arrival."

    "What a great idea! Let's do it!" Colander nodded in agreement.

    Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and seriously began to mobilize troops and convey orders.

    "Order 200 heavy cavalry to assemble at the front."

    "Order the 400 light cavalry to be divided into two parts, 100 to stay behind and 300 to follow me on an urgent march."

    "Order 300 heavy infantry to stay in the rear."

    "Order 300 knights with heavy swords and horses to stay at the rear."

    "Order 300 crossbowmen to stay in the rear."

    "Order 600 heavy infantry with spears to stay behind."

    "Order 200 halberd heavy infantry to stay behind and provide logistics."

    "Order 500 round-shield light infantry to march with me."

    "Order 500 pulley longbow archers to follow me on a rapid march."

    "Order 500 light-armored spearmen to march with me."

    "Order 300 Marines and medical teams to stay behind for logistics."

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    Vera, Mayoden, Ross, Browner and others quickly conveyed the order.  Iona in the guard team looked at Lin Fenghan with her eyes turned, and said to Aixina with a snicker: "Look quickly, this guy Yi Liuyun is so cool!"

    "He does look very powerful, but the most important thing is to see this battle. If he wins, then we will put forward conditions to him and form an alliance to rescue the compatriots in Senwei Hills. If he fails, then  " Aixina looked at Lin Fenghan with twinkling eyes and said lightly.
