Armies on the move were supplied by supply trains. These aren’t trains as we know them today, but routes to and from the army that would restock what was needed, usually iron, bandages, food, glue, hay, and other consumable supplies that couldn’t be easily sourced. Which is why one of the ancient battle tactics was to cut off your enemies supply train to supplement your own needs.
