Actually, Andre had seriously underestimated the "rashness" of these young people.
Out of the more than 1,200 police academy cadets' 30 large wagons, 22 were for servicing the artillery, including dragging cannons and transporting ammunition.
As for logistics and baggage, they had cut down on almost everything that could be spared!
Each soldier's backpack contained 11 pounds of dry bread, 3.5 pounds of semi-dried meat, and 4 pounds of oats for the horses, along with two bags of wine. That was all the provisions they carried.
It was only close to noon that the Mulan Regiment finally finished preparations to transition from encampment to marching, and the large force began to move slowly.
This was after Andre, having heard his younger brother's "intelligence" the day before, had preemptively ordered the officers to leave all the bulky luggage like wardrobes and dining tables behind.
In fact, for an old-style army, their speed was already considered very fast.
