    Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen, Qin Erhei and others were very happy to be able to undertake such a glorious and arduous task. They completely conquered Tubo and recovered Longyou Road. In the eyes of a military general, this was already a peak achievement and worthy of being remembered.  Life, so after accepting the mission, under the command of Gao Chibang, they quickly led their troops and rushed to Songzhou in Xichuan.  ! Gao Chibang set out a little later. He spent two full days in the palace and discussed in detail with Li Rupei all the difficulties that might be faced in this battle. It should be said that Gao Chibang was happy to accept the task, but when he left the palace,  Gao Chibang's expression was serious.  On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Guangqi's reign, all three armies arrived in Songzhou.  Gansong Ridge to which Songzhou belongs is the border area where Xichuan and Tubo meet. It is more than 300 miles away from Songzhou City. When Chen Jingxuan served as the governor of Xichuan, it was occupied by Tubo. Tubo often coveted Songzhou.  , Chen Jingxuan did not care much about these things. His focus was around Chengdu. As for Songzhou, which is close to Tubo, due to the harsh natural environment and extremely inconvenient road traffic, Chen Jingxuan did not care about this place at all.  After the Iron Blood Army captured Xichuan, according to Li Rupei's request, they marched into Gansong Ridge and drove the Tibetans out of Songzhou.  Xie Yuxin and Zhu Wen were already feeling heavy when they arrived in Songzhou. The difficulty of the march, the harsh climate, and the bumpy road had given them an unusual view of this expedition. Qin Erhei  He was very aware of these situations. After arriving at the destination, he specifically told the two of them about the difficulties they might face, especially the need to adapt to the environment.  Kan Zeyu, the military governor of Xichuan, followed the army to Songzhou.  To a large extent, the battle is all about logistics. As the governor of Xichuan, Kan Zeyu naturally needs to undertake the most important logistics supply task.  The logistics of a 60,000-strong army is not as simple as it sounds. In addition, Kan Zeyu has already understood the mission of this expedition and is increasingly aware of the importance and difficulty of logistics supply.  Grain and grass are concentrated from Xiangyang and other places to Xichuan. This task does not require Kan Zeyu to worry too much. Merchants will naturally complete it. However, transporting grain and grass from Xichuan to Tubo and Longyou Road requires Kan Zeyu to worry about, especially if it is transported to Tubo.  Not the normal difficulty.  As a result, food and grass could not be transported, and people could not return to Xichuan.  Kan Zeyu was in Songjiang for half a month. During this period, he discussed with Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei and others, and suggested that during this army expedition, a special logistics army should be formed to be responsible for transporting grain and grass. This is also  In order to ensure the smooth march of the army into Tubo and Longyou Road.  Kan Zeyu's suggestion was approved by everyone.  After arriving in Songzhou, Gao Chibang specially sent out scouts.  The original surveyed route was reconnoitred again. The task of this survey was to make many marks and make specific road signs for the march of the army.  Avoid getting lost or even going in circles during the march.  This reconnaissance was extremely difficult. The heavy snow had not completely melted, and the army could not pass through in many places.  We had to wait until the heavy snow melted before we could start marching.  The soldiers of the Jagged Army have begun targeted training in accordance with the special training plan formulated by Daxingtai Mansion.  This training has an unexpected content, which is to become familiar with the Tubo language, not to say completely familiar with it, but at least to know some simple words, which can be used for daily communication.  More training surprised the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army.  The first training is to drink water. Everyone can drink water, but for this training, there are fixed requirements for drinking water. If you drink a certain amount of water every day, and your urine is clear or light yellow, it is considered a water training.  The requirements have been met.  The second one is to keep warm. The temperature difference between day and night in Songzhou is very big. After entering Tubo, the temperature difference is even greater. When the sun is shining, there may be strong winds and even snowflakes in the blink of an eye, so keeping warm is very important.  The third is training in eating. You must eat as many vegetables as possible. At the same time, you are not allowed to eat too full at each meal. Every soldier must learn to drink Tubo butter tea, although the taste of this tea is unbearable for many people.  live.  The fourth thing is to keep in mind that when entering Tubo, whenever you arrive at a place, you should not walk quickly, run, or even do physical activities at the beginning. Rest as much as possible. After two days, you can start exercising after adapting to the environment.  These trainings must be carried out every day to allow all soldiers to adapt and get used to it.  These were specifically mentioned by Li Rupei. As a traveler, he is very aware of the seriousness of altitude sickness, especially pulmonary edema and cerebral edema, which can kill people in just a few hours.  People who insist on exercising and have good physical fitness??Altitude sickness is generally very mild, or even invisible, and the Jagged Soldiers fully meet the requirements.  But this does not mean that the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army can be careless. On the contrary, they need to pay more attention. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army enter Tubo not to play, but to fight, so they cannot make any preparations in advance.  negligence.  The Tibetan army is incomparable with the Iron-Blooded Army in terms of combat effectiveness, advanced training, including tactical layout. The only advantage they have is adapting to the climate and environment of the plateau. Li Rupei believes that as long as the Iron-Blooded Army soldiers  Completely adapted to the climate and environment of the plateau, it is easy to defeat the Tibetan army.  Although the Iron-Blooded Army is in the cold weapon age, its training methods are already very advanced, including its own independent system in terms of meals. It is necessary to eat well, and nutrition cannot be lacking. Everyone only sees the Iron-blooded Army.  He was so brave and brave, but he had no idea that Li Rupei had spent a lot of effort and devoted himself to the daily training of the Iron-Blooded Army soldiers.  Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen, Qin Erhei and others strictly followed the training plan issued by the Daxingtai government. Those training requirements that they thought were very strange were implemented to the letter.  Over time, they all knew that the training plan issued by the Daxingtai government was actually the request made by Li Rupei. Implementing these training requirements would play a decisive role in combat, although they did not know why Li Rupei understood it.  So much.  When the Iron Blood Army soldiers first arrived in Songzhou, some of them had nosebleeds. This incident was specifically mentioned in the training plan of Daxingtai Prefecture, saying not to be nervous if such a thing happens, but to take a good rest and drink plenty of water.  , pay attention to keep warm, because the climate in Tubo is dry, nosebleeds and chapped lips are the most likely situations. Even Zhu Wen once had nosebleeds, but with good treatment and preventive measures, such situations will disappear quickly.  .  The Daxingtai Prefecture also specifically mentioned a situation, that is, sudden coma and coughing, or even coughing up foamy saliva. When soldiers encounter such a situation, they must evacuate immediately, toward a low-lying area, and use cold water handkerchiefs at the same time.  Zi Fu's head was put on his head. If such a situation occurs, the sergeant should quickly evacuate Tubo and return to the south.  Daxingtai Mansion places special emphasis on preventing sudden changes in cold and heat. Any sergeant who feels weak or weak must evacuate immediately and return to the south. He must not continue to march and fight.  The training content of Daxingtaifu is very detailed, pointing out how to deal with many situations, but it does not explain the reasons.  These plans were all formulated by Li Rupei and issued in the name of Daxingtai Mansion.  When formulating these training plans, Li Rupei's mood was very complicated. According to the current medical conditions, once an Iron-Blooded Army soldier is infected with pulmonary edema or cerebral edema, he is basically waiting to die. Even if he evacuates to a low-lying area, the effect  He only knew how to prevent altitude sickness, but he didn't know how to deal with it medically. Even if he knew something, it was mostly Western medicine, which does not exist now.  What Li Rupei can do is to ask the army doctors to prepare medicines for treating headaches and fevers. These medicines must be prepared in large quantities. Once the soldiers have cold symptoms, they must take the medicines immediately without delay.  Logistics supply is the most important, which involves the lives of soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the army. Logistics supply is divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it is daily food and water. In terms of daily diet, enough vegetables must be ensured, and  High-calorie beef must not be eaten too full, especially before each battle. As for drinking water, you must be accustomed to drinking butter tea. This is crucial for soldiers to adapt to the plateau climate environment.  effect.  Li Rupei has absolute confidence in conquering Tibet. Whether it is now or in the future, the key to victory lies in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and more importantly, whether the tactics are advanced. Tubo does not have fixed cities, and the cities do not have tall walls. Tubo¡¯s military habits  Fighting in the wild, they are not very skilled in the use of bows, arrows, crossbows and other weapons. At the same time, there is not enough pig iron to make bows and arrows. Weapons are lacking. In this regard, the Iron Blood Army has an absolute advantage. At the same time, from the ability of individual soldiers to fight  Said that the Jagged Army has quite an advantage.  The Iron-Blooded Army is a fixed army. Every officer is a professional soldier with high quality. However, the Tubo army is a soldier in wartime and a common people in ordinary times. Before the battle, Zanpu summons him temporarily, no matter in terms of combat coordination.  , or in terms of tactical execution capabilities, they are not as good as the Iron Blood Army.  As long as the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army can overcome altitude sickness and defeat the Tibetan army, it is expected.  Of course, during the expedition to the plateau, any accident may happen.We must attach great importance to it. Once we gain an advantage in a battle, we must not give our opponent the slightest chance to breathe. If we are temporarily at a disadvantage in the battle, we must not panic. We should deal with it calmly and preserve our strength for the next fight.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
