"Yes, brave but not cruel, flexible but steady, this cavalry team is very good."
Zhu Yunwen nodded in praise.
Xu Huizu said modestly, "The emperor has a good reputation, this cavalry team is my Xu family's own army, and their training is carried out by my father himself." ” Zhu Yunwen was slightly surprised, this cavalry team turned out to be trained by General Xu Da, and sure enough, these famous generals still have two brushes in their hands, and Zhu Yunwen had seen the power of the Lanyu pro-army in Xi'an before.
Xu Huizu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, in order to deal with the Japanese people, the minister specially made changes on the basis of the previous military formation, you see. ” Zhu Yunwen looked at it in response, and at this time, two more pairs walked into the competition field, one was the infantry with shields, and the other was the people from the Shenji Musket Battalion just now.
Zhu Yunwen signaled, and the soldiers were ordered to gather towards the center of the tournament field.
First of all, the infantry with shields is now in the front row, they squat down side by side, and then block the shields in front of them, forming an artificial defense line, Xu Huizu introduced, "These shields are made of fine iron, and ordinary blades can't split this shield. ” Zhu Yunwen nodded, he took out the golden dagger from his arms and said, "Then how long will it take for me to attack this fine iron shield with this dagger?"
” "The emperor's dagger is made by the master, sharpening iron like clay, the power is naturally extraordinary, if it is a person with good strength to use this dagger, it only needs to be changed to pierce the fine iron shield."
Xu Huizu said, "But such weapons are rare in the world, and even if they do, they will not be widely used in warfare." ” Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Go on." ” The shielded infantry looked at each other, and then very tacitly leaned a little to the left and right, so that there would be two soldiers close together, and the other side could have a free place.
Seeing this, the people of the Shenji Musket Battalion directly squatted down and stood in these gaps and shot outward, Xu Huizu said, "First use the shield array to defend against the enemy's attack, and then open the gap for the soldiers of the Shenji Musket Battalion to shoot, if the Japanese troops want to break through the defensive line, then the soldiers with shields will gather back and close!"
” Xu Huizu shouted, and the people of the Divine Machine Musket Battalion leaned back very tacitly, and the soldiers with shields also returned to what they were just now, so that the soldiers with shields created another artificial defense line, and the Ming army could even use this method to repeatedly consume the Japanese army.
The Wa country is an island country, so this country does not have a qualified cavalry team, and even they have very few cavalry, so the Ming army does not need to consider the danger of cavalry charging in the formation.
Then the shielded infantry opened another opening, and this time the cavalry rushed out with broadswords.
The military formation of the Ming army can be divided into three steps: defense, harassment, and attack.
Xu Huizu made good use of the enemy's disadvantages and his own advantages to create such a military formation against the Japanese people.
"What if the other side uses artillery?"
Zhu Yunwen asked, "The artillery broke the defensive line, the Japanese infantry charged, the musket battalion did not have time to retreat, and the cavalry team could not rush up, what should I do?"
” Xu Huizu said confidently, "The emperor thought of this, we have also taken it into consideration, when the time comes, we will arrange three rows of infantry with shields to prevent artillery by making up for the lack of one, but the production level of the Wa Kingdom is low, and it is really impossible for them to send out dozens of people to break our army formation at one time, so the emperor does not have to worry about this." ” The power of artillery is naturally not something that can be blocked by human flesh, and Xu Huizu's method of making up for the lack of one is indeed the most effective defense method at present.
"The Japanese have few troops, as long as we can win the battle between Songcheng and Rongcheng, then the victory or defeat of the battle of Goryeo is already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Huizu hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the performance is over." ” "Very good."
Zhu Yunwen said, "I do have the demeanor that a Ming soldier should have, let's go, I'll go and see the soldier's accommodation and food." ” "Yes."
The combat strength of an army is to a large extent determined by the personal qualities of the soldiers and the decisions made by the generals, but these are only objective factors, and the real decisive condition must be logistics.
Only when the food and salary can keep up can the soldiers have the strength to fight, and only when they can keep up with the food can the soldiers be in the mood to fight, and logistics is too important for a country and an army.
The Battle of Goryeo was a major battle that decided the life and death of Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, so Zhu Yunwen was also very concerned about the food of the army, and he also gave a large amount of silver to the Northern Expeditionary Army to support their logistics in this Goryeo War.
The Wa Kingdom couldn't afford to drag it out, because they didn't have so much food, but even if the Ming Dynasty lost the war, they had the capital to drag this war down.
The food of the Northern Expeditionary Army is in charge of a hundred firemen, after all, it is an army of 10,000 people, and the daily consumption must be described as terrifying.
Usually emperors don't go to the place where the fireman cooks, because in their opinion, this is a very dirty place, but Zhu Yunwen didn't have this idea, he followed Xu Huizu to the fireman camp in the military camp.
According to Xu Huizu, the firemen in the Northern Expeditionary Army are all famous chefs in major hotels in the capital, and the army never forces others to come, they all volunteer to cook for the Ming Army.
The fireman camp is on the side of the barracks, and the area is still quite large, Zhu Yunwen smelled the aroma of food from afar, and now he has also arrived at the hotel.
The guards didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to come here, and as soon as they wanted to kneel down and salute, Zhu Yunwen stopped them with a gesture.
"Do you want to go in?"
Zhu Yunwen turned back to Li Shanshan and Chang Qingyu and said, "There may be oil smoke inside, you can wait outside." ” "I don't care about that."
Chang Qingyu shook his head, "This is not a place that you can't enter. ” Li Shanshan also smiled, "I have the same idea as Miss Chang. ” "Then let's go in."
Zhu Yunwen walked into the fireman camp, and a soldier stuck his head out, "Who, this hasn't started yet."
The next second, he was stunned, isn't this man in a dragon robe the emperor?
Xu Huizu was standing respectfully beside Zhu Yunwen, and two beautiful women followed Zhu Yunwen with a smile.
The soldier's body trembled, "Your Majesty!
” "Hmm."
Zhu Yunwen replied softly, "Today, I came to see the food situation in the army, you should be the fireman here, introduce." ” "Yes."
The soldier bowed and made a gesture of please, then walked towards the tent.
Due to time constraints, the firemen cook in makeshift tents.
