Fifty miles away, the Tianzi Camp is also brightly lit tonight.
Xu Yanshou's death brought too much shock to the Tianzi Battalion, especially the soldiers and horses of the 500 Tianzi Battalion that he took away together, they were gone all of a sudden, and Zhu Yonghong was so distressed that she couldn't sleep for the past two days.
In an engagement, almost one-tenth of the total military strength of the Tianzi battalion was lost, and a quarter of the soldiers and horses participating in the battle, such a loss, not to mention that this is an elite army built by Zhu Yonghong, it is an ordinary forbidden army, and it is unbearable.
Not even a fifth, the rebels had lost their armor and collapsed.
All the troops died in battle, and such a result could only happen when the disparity in strength was too great, and it was impossible to escape from the enemy's encirclement.
The soldiers and horses of Xinglongwei are driving behind the continuous rush, and the current camp by the river has almost stationed nearly 10,000 people, 10,000 people are camped, the scale is already very large, whether it is the scouts on this side or the scouts of the rebels, it almost takes much effort on both sides to get close to the other party's camp and snoop, in this form, even if the rebels do not attack, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will attack.
Fighting, it must be fought, but how to fight, this is necessary to figure it out.
Xinglongwei is the main force of the battle this time, the soldiers and horses of the Tianzi battalion are tightly guarded by the soldiers and horses of Xinglongwei, and Zhu Yonghong is not dissatisfied with such an arrangement, as the commander of the first battalion, at this time, she will not interfere with how Xinglongwei's soldiers and horses fight this battle, as the purpose of testing the combat strength, Zhu Yonghong has achieved it, although the process of this test makes her feel distressed.
Lin Wushuang was fortunate to participate in this military conference, in fact, this time, it was not Lin Wushuang's resources, but Zhu Yonghong sent someone to forcibly invite him into the camp, the big war is imminent, what position should the Tianzi battalion be in this big battle, she needs to listen to Lin Wushuang's opinion on this kind of person who is familiar with the use of their firearms in Changnan, even if Lin Wushuang has no insight, one of his ten sentences is feasible, maybe, in the next big war, a few fewer soldiers can die.
"Do you really want me to say" Lin Wushuang looked at the Tianzi battalion generals sitting in the camp, and then looked at Zhu Yonghong, "Aren't you afraid that I will say a few words and say another Xu Qianhu?"
"Xu Qianhu died on the battlefield, that was his choice, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, what you said that day, everyone has carefully discussed it, there are a lot of remarkable places, there are indeed a lot of things, people in the body bureau, maybe they can't see it, Lin Xundao first came to my Tianzi camp, and he is not a bureau person for the time being, maybe he can see it more thoroughly" Zhu Yonghong said very vaguely, but after all, she expressed her meaning, admitting that what Lin Wushuang said before was good, and expecting further advice from him.
Getting a new weapon is not so easy to form combat power, and even those new methods of training the army, many of them are practiced by these people here for a long time before they slowly understand their benefits, and Lin Wushuang counts him as a waste, but in the place where he came, he has seen a lot of these things, Zhu Yonghong now, I hope that he will try his best to take out some of the remarks he made by the river after crossing the river, which is obvious for the entire Tianzi Battalion.
"I really decide to participate in the war tomorrow" Lin Wushuang is not concerned about this, the war of 10,000 people, he can't guarantee that he can do nothing here, in fact, he is quite worried.
"Commander Tian put my Tianzi battalion in the rear army, as long as the rebels do not kill from behind the army, it is estimated that when my Tianzi battalion faces the enemy army again, it will not be very many" Zhu Yonghong replied to his words, "My Tianzi battalion is not afraid of fighting, but it is not necessary to participate in meaningless battles."
"That's right" Lin Wushuang slapped his face, "Since you want me to say it, then I'm a little disrespectful, what I said is good or not, you can't blame me" Zhu Yonghong slowly looked at her subordinates, and nodded, "Lin Xundao speaks freely."
"What is the biggest difference between my Tianzi Battalion and the officers and soldiers of Xinglongwei around me, have you ever thought about it" Lin Wushuang pointed outside.
"It's our firearms" "It's our elite soldiers" "We're from Jingshi" The officers were a little uncertain to express their opinions, Lin Wushuang shook his head with a smile, until everyone present, no longer heard a voice, he slowly said, "Wrong, everyone is wrong, the biggest difference between Tianzi Camp and Xinglongwei is that there are few of us, and there are many of them."
"The elite soldiers of the Tianzi Battalion, the firearms of the Tianzi Battalion are sharp, the Tianzi Battalion is from the Beijing Division, these are all our own, but everyone thinks about it, when we rushed in, we really wanted to use this mere 2,000 people, no, now it is more than 1,400 people, don't you tell me, your scouts don't even know how many rebels there are outside Guizhou now, I according to the most conservative estimate, 30,000 or 20,000 are there, what are you fighting, thinking that you are only more than 1,000 people, can defeat the opponent 30,000 or 20,000 people" "Fighting firearms" Lin Wushuang shook his head, "No matter how good the weapon is, it also depends on the person who uses it, not to mention, the sword will be endured after a long time, your weapons, in addition to the continuous consumption of bullets, will also have various failures, these days, the army has broken firearms, I am afraid that there are no less than a hundred, how can you guarantee that the weapons in your hands can be used from beginning to end in battle, and your ammunition will persist until the end of the battle."
"You can't guarantee it," Lin Wushuang said, and the faces of those officers became slightly ugly.
"Xu Qianhu was surrounded by the rebels and died before he ran out of ammunition and food, have you ever thought that if you fall into the same situation, will you have a different ending with Xu Qianhu?"
These words made everyone's faces heavy, in the face of thirty or twenty thousand, or more enemy troops, five hundred and one thousand five hundred, there is not much difference, in the future, the result is the same, as long as the other party is iron-hearted and uses human lives to pile up, once entangled by the enemy, the indiscriminate bow and arrow cover when the battle of crossing the river again, or a few times, their results are not much better, as Lin Wushuang said, when fighting, there are too many unpredictable factors, firearms will be broken, ammunition will be exhausted, and even people will be tired, These factors add up one by one, once it breaks out, no matter how elite the Tianzi Battalion is, no matter how capable it is, it has to be slowly exhausted.
"I know what you think, if the opponent's soldiers and horses are similar to yours, you don't care at all, with such a firearm in hand, the defeat must be the other party, but gentlemen, this is a war, where is there such an ideal thing, who is the same as you against the same people and horses, can destroy the opponent's soldiers and horses, naturally how much strength makes this person, the other party can afford to die, you may not be able to afford to die" "You say so, my Tianzi battalion is useless in such a big battle" Zhu Yong's pretty face was also a little black under the light, Lin Wushuang's words were equivalent to erasing her efforts for more than half a year, and the soldiers and horses that she had spent a lot of money to train were not allowed to fight in the end, which was equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on her head, or cold water mixed with ice cubes.
"No, I didn't say that, it is naturally useful to use it, it depends on how you use it" Lin Wushuang sighed, this idea was when he heard the news of Xu Yanshou's death, and there was a shock in the Tianzi camp, he pondered it carefully, at this time, he finally had to say it, this is a good pus, if he doesn't pick it out, he is afraid that this pus, it will continue to deteriorate, his only customer in Daming, the Zhu family brothers and sisters didn't realize that their starting point for building this army in the first place was wrong.
In the words of later generations, their thinking on army building is incorrect, and it is normal for the army under the guidance of such an ideology to have such a reaction when it suffers a setback.
"As I just said, the biggest difference between the Tianzi Battalion and other imperial court officers and soldiers is that there are few people, and with the equipment and soldiers of the Tianzi Battalion, such an army can never be expanded to the number of other officers and soldiers.
Lin Wushuang wrenched his fingers and calculated, "I don't know anything else, I also have an errand of a hundred households in Jinyiwei, I still know a little bit about the situation of Jinyiwei, this Jinyiwei is also one of the twelve guards, it can be regarded as being stronger than other officers and soldiers, the ordinary captain in Jinyiwei, in a year, even the salary, weapons and clothes, can't cost the court twenty taels of silver, you look at your soldiers, they are ordinary soldiers, this court is in them, this salary, weapons and armor, I'm afraid it will not be less than ten times the number."
"And that's not counting the consumption of ammunition" Lin Wushuang let go of his hand, "So, according to my calculations, the imperial court can raise 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Tianzi Battalion, at least 150,000 to 200,000 ordinary soldiers and horses, if you raise a 350,000 Tianzi Battalion of soldiers and horses, then the other million soldiers and horses will have to drink the northwest wind."
"Less but fine" he said loudly, "This is the Tianzi Battalion Imperial Court to train such an elite soldier, but it is not for you to fight like those ordinary soldiers, you should be the sharp knife of the imperial court, specially for the imperial court army to solve their problems, with the least cost, to obtain the greatest results, this is what you should do" He shook his head, "Instead of sitting here like now, discussing how you should fight like ordinary soldiers in the next big battle, if so, what is the point of your training, your weapons, and the soldiers you have carefully selected, what is the point of ordinary soldiers who can do it, why do you want to do it" aa2705221 t1706231537:
