Chapter 147: Overstretched


Chapter 147: Being stretched thin "I'm afraid it will be difficult," Wu Liangmou frowned and responded in a low voice.

Having had several actual combat experiences, he certainly knew the power of firearms.

Even the most ordinary matchlock gun can penetrate the strongest war armor in the world within fifty steps.

But the problem is that the reloading speed of this thing is really appallingly slow.

Wu Liangmou estimated by himself that Lian Laohei, who was known as the best gun user in the army, could fire three arrows with his matchlock gun once.

This is the result of fully drawing the bow and aiming carefully to ensure that the arrow does not miss the target.

If you don't aim carefully, but cover a certain general area, you can easily shoot six arrows in the time it takes Lian Laohei to fire one shot.

By analogy, a group of archers and a group of musketeers faced off alone.

When both sides were unarmored, the gunners were all shot into hedgehogs before the matchlocks could show their power.

"It's difficult, but you have to bite the bullet."

Lu Deshan had obviously carefully considered the future development direction of the newly formed Fifth Army these days.

He smiled and continued to emphasize in a low voice.

"Brother Youtu, don't be angry when I say this.

When it comes to changes in battle, neither you nor I can compare to Xu Da.

In terms of martial arts skills, I'm afraid Hu Dahai can beat both of us with one hand.

In terms of experience and qualifications, our brothers are as good as Xu Da.

Wu Twenty-two of the Fourth Army is even more It's incomparable.

I'm afraid what you and I can rely on now is that we read more and have more flexible ideas than others.

If you and I don't even make use of these two things, I'm afraid our new Fifth Army is destined to become the most powerful.

The governor's disappointment" "Is this what Lingzu meant?"

Wu Liangmou asked with a frown on his face, horrified.

"No, no, brother Wu, don't get me wrong.

My grandfather is now the chief of the First Army.

He is still too busy with his own business, so he has no time to take care of me."

Lu Deshan quickly stood up straight and waved his hands vigorously.

Lu Lu was once Zhao Junyong's teacher, but he came to assist Zhu Bayi.

This fact itself has a strange smell.

With the caution of the old Jinshi, since he himself has been the long history of the First Army, he may not be willing to intervene in the Fifth Army, lest his family's influence under Zhu Du's account is too great, causing other people to join forces to suppress it.

After understanding the pros and cons, Wu Liangmou breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said with a smile, "Deshan, you are serious.

If Lingzu gives you some advice, Wu will not be able to get what he asked for.

He misunderstood the two words and then talked about it.

Since he doesn't have time, our brothers can't."

We can only work behind closed doors, Tokuyama, if you already have some good ideas, you might as well say them now."

"I don't have any good ideas, it's just random thoughts."

Lu Deshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and shook his head in response.

"My little brother has been flipping through books these days and found that no one in the past dynasties paid more attention to battle tactics than the Song Dynasty.

And in terms of the complexity of weapons, the Song army also ranks first."

"So what?

Didn't the Song Dynasty suffer repeated defeats, losing all the way from Gaoliang River to Yashan?"

Wu Liangmou's smile immediately turned bitter, and he lay on the bed and shook his head gently.

Note 1 As a descendant of the new annexed army, he was extremely familiar with the performance of the Song Dynasty army.

In the memories of the entire family, when it comes to wars more than a hundred years ago, they are almost always gray and black, full of despair and helplessness.

"But before the Gaoliang River, the Song army also defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty and destroyed Liu Han."

Lu Deshan was not a general, and his opinion of the Song army was not as bad as Wu Liangmou's.

He smiled and retorted in a low voice, "In fact, until After crossing south, the Song army still had many examples of defeating Jin soldiers and Yuan soldiers in field battles, but the situation inside and outside the court was frightened, and the blood of the soldiers was wasted."

"Oh, then tell me, what formations can we learn from?"

"I'm just imagining.

Brother Youtu has to make a specific decision.

The formations that can be found currently include the regular formation above Wu Jingzong, the Pingrong Wanquan formation, the Eighth Army formation, as well as Han Zhongwu and Wu The crossbow formations and stacking formations left over from Wu'an.

Zeng Gongliang was a scholar, and the formations mentioned were all.

It may not be practical.

However, General Han Shizhong's crossbow formation and the Wu brothers' stacked formation have many similarities with the current situation of the left army.

There are not many cavalry, and the reloading speed of the crossbow may not be much faster than the bronze cannon.

The arm bow is not necessarily less troublesome to use than the matchlock gun."

"But the survivability of the matchlock gun is still a problem."

"Put them in armor and the musketeers in plate armor will definitely defeat the archers."

"Nonsense.

Originally, the musketeers were slow.

They wore plate armor and iron helmets and could only use their matchlocks as sticks."

"Then don't wear the whole body, only the helmet and front breastplate.

Anyway, those who run away from the battle and sell their backs to the enemy deserve to die."

"That's also thousands of breastplates."

"Didn't Mr.

Su put down his words?

He will do his best to support our new army."

One of the two young men was originally very courageous and quick-thinking.

Another is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

With just a word from you and a word from me, the battle plan for the new Fifth Army was devised beside the sickbed.

At first, the two did not go smoothly, because whether it was the common military formations recorded by Zeng Gongliang in the Song Dynasty or the stacked formations of Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin, they were all formations that had been tempered in countless actual battles and survived.

Every change , a single move may affect the whole body.

Sometimes, over the deployment of a certain military unit, the two of them would get very angry and almost swear that they would never interact with each other until death.

But after the dispute, they were able to continue to sit together again and continue to discuss the details of the formation of the military formation.

Time flies by day by day in the midst of disputes and compromises.

Geng Zaicheng and Li Qi returned from recruiting troops, and each army had more than 3,000 men.

A new round of training began, and boring passwords sounded again in the school field.

The manpower of each yamen was finally gathered together, and the Huai'an government began to deal with the various cases that had been backlogged some time ago.

The boat gang gathered smuggling merchants and reached a tacit agreement with the government in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

The fleet filled with "smuggled salt" once again pulled anchor and set sail to transport the world-famous Huai salt through the Yellow River and canals to where it was needed.

That’s right, it’s all personal salt.

The Mongolian and Yuan court could not recognize the existence of the Red Turban Army, but the common people under its rule, whether they were first-class Mongolians or fourth-class southerners, had to eat salt.

Therefore, smart local officials decisively gave up the pursuit of private salt dealers and allowed the latter to continuously transport Huai salt to the cities and villages under their jurisdiction.

However, the salt merchants in various places, who originally took both black and white, simply transported the private salt directly to their own warehouses, and then went to the government to go through a formality to completely "wash" it into official salt, and everyone who dealt with it made a lot of money.

The bowl overflows.

Inside and outside Huai'an, north and south of the Yellow River, everyone is busy this summer.

No one noticed that a brand-new practical concept gradually formed its most basic outline under the hammers and sticks of two young people.

Although it is rough, it is new from the inside out.

Compared with the tactical concepts of the cold weapon era, it has been turned upside down.

Even Zhu Ba11 himself didn't notice the miracle that was growing around him.

He was so busy this summer that he could hardly touch the ground.

Dealing with the people from the Red Scarf Army headquarters, dealing with the people sent by Zhima Li, dealing with people from Zhao Junyong, as well as the new salt merchants that were born rapidly in Huai'an City, the local government in the east of Huai'an City that was forced to surrender, and Scholars from all over the country come to vote for him, or plan to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit, all involving his countless energy.

He didn't have much time to interfere with the internal operation details of each new army under his command.

Even if he had time, he might not be able to do better than Wu Liangmou and Lu Deshan.

Zhu Bayi is not a god, he is just a lucky man who was accidentally flapped by a butterfly that traveled through time and space.

Even if he fully absorbed Zhu Dapeng's memory and thinking, he would still be at the level of an engineering geek at best.

In terms of military affairs, it was not his strength.

What little "dry stuff" I had a rough idea of ​​that could be sold has long since been sold out.

The rest is impossible to achieve in this era.

For example, three-dimensional strikes by sea, land and air, such as nuclear bombs washing the ground.

If he takes it out now, let alone realizing it, he may not even be able to find people who believe in it.

Even if he can be found, he will be regarded as some reincarnated god, hoping that he can immediately use his sleeves to create the nuclear bomb he said.

Even for the three-three system and military rank system that the Zuo Army has vigorously promoted, Zhu Bayi initially only gave a general direction.

The specific details were repeatedly deduced by Lu Zeng, Ivanov, Chen De, Xu Da and others, combined with examples of military construction in the Central Plains, the Western Regions, and even Europe at the same time since the Tang Dynasty.

It is completely different from the three-three system of later generations.

Originally, Zhu Bayi wanted to establish another military supervisory position similar to that of later political commissars in the Centurion and above combat units.

However, as soon as this proposal was made, it was nipped in the bud by Lu Zeng and Mr.

Su who joined forces.

"If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."

Old Master Lu always spoke.

They are all quotations from scriptures.

A paragraph of Mencius made Zhu Bayi flush with shame from his own narrow-mindedness.

Mr.

Su's words were more serious, and the blow to Zhu Bayi became heavier.

"No one" the old man slapped his gold-covered crutch on the ground, and responded loudly, "Among the left army, who can recognize a few people?"

He's already a centurion.

You want to do it again?

How can a literate supervisor come out and there are so many scholars?

Those guys who are rushing to come to you to ask for an official position are actually literate and can speak well.

How dare you let them go?

There are not many supervisors.

God, I don’t even know whose house the team has been detained in
