Chapter 90: Lecture on Tactics
"Military operations are divided into two forms, both tactically and campaignally. Pen fun and court www.biquge.info offense, or defense. If both sides are attacking, it is a confrontational battle. If it's all on the defensive, it's the stalemate phase. As a rule, our troops avoid fighting in a stalemate. Because this will consume a lot of materials and manpower, relatively speaking, fighting each other is the result of balanced combat effectiveness, and the best way at this time is to negotiate, and it is better to invest a large number of manpower and material resources into it.
In field battles, our troops usually put up infantry formations. Against enemy infantry and cavalry, one thing to keep in mind is that our infantry will not take part in offensive battles in the vast majority of cases. Their mission was to provide a reliable mobile base for the cavalry. Therefore, there are also huge vans that are the main equipment of the infantry.
At all times, remember that the safety of your crossbowmen is paramount. Despite their slow firing speed, they are very deadly. A crossbowman armed with a Qin crossbow can kill a warrior who has been trained since childhood from hundreds of paces. At this point, he may have only been training for a few days or months. Yun Yue paused here and glanced at the generals and officers below.
Today, at the lecture hall of the martial arts, almost all the officers of the generals and colonels above the regimental level came. Whether it is a big man who can't read a basket of big characters, or an intellectual who has drunk the ink of the academy. They all have an inexplicable admiration for their invincible commander. Since their debut, they have not tasted defeat, what a great achievement this is, they are all holding back their strength in their hearts, hoping to reach the height of Yunyue.
Some of the old men brought scribes to write hard, and the students who graduated from the academy did it themselves. Anyway, the following was the sound of "sand" and "sand" of charcoal writing on paper, and Yun Yue was very satisfied with their attitude towards learning. Deliberately slowed down the pace of speech, so that they did not miss a word.
The old man sat in the front row, and next to him sat his little grandson. Every time Yun Yue said a word, the grandson recorded a sentence, and the plum blossom seal in one hand was written very beautifully.
When I went out, I met Porcelain, and it was just an episode. Han Fei will teach them how to behave, and seeing that there are so many students who are eager to learn and tirelessly, Yun Yue still has a sense of accomplishment. Anyway, the training plan is not heavy in the winter, so I will set up a class to teach some military theories of later generations to these division and regiment officers. Maybe there's a genius like Rommel or Barton.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Yun Yue continued: "For our infantry, shooting the enemy on the way to charge is what they have to do. Regardless of whether the enemy is cavalry or infantry, our weapons have the advantage of range. Bombs are such things as being concentrated against the enemy's long-range forces. Crossbowmen, for example, may also add a three-bow bed crossbow in the future.
Some people will ask, our compound bow is very good. The range is farther than that of the upper crossbow arrow, so why not equip our family with a bow and arrow with a higher rate of fire?
Now I will tell you that the training of an archer takes years. It is also necessary to choose a person with a height physical examination and strong arm strength. But for crossbowmen, none of this is a problem. They just need to pedal on the pedal and the training doesn't take long. According to General Qi's experience, a crossbowman can be trained in two months, and although the rate of fire is slower, the accuracy is generally not a major problem, and the cost of training is also very low.
War is sometimes a matter of attrition, and whoever can afford it will be able to achieve the ultimate victory. Therefore, these incorruptible crossbowmen who can be trained in large numbers are our magic weapon for victory.
Others will ask why it is necessary for infantry to be responsible for defense only. And not to attack?
In fact, it is also very understandable, that is, to avoid casualties. Hand-to-hand infantry combat is the most dangerous and labor-intensive battle. Killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 is the norm, and we don't need to fill the bottomless pit with the lives of soldiers. It takes eighteen years for every soldier to grow. The production of a crossbow arrow only takes the time of a stick of incense.
There are many enemies we will face in the future, and we cannot afford to fill this hole.
Well, now back to the question of infantry tactics. There will be a lot of horse-repellent deer bars in front of our army to prevent the enemy cavalry from attacking. The cavalry was flanked by the flanks, once the enemy advance was frustrated. The cavalry should have made a detour from both flanks. Attacking from behind enemy flanks, the archers were responsible for cover, and the hoplites were charged directly. Yun Yue drew her intentions on the blackboard, outlining her own formation and how to deal with the enemy. This is more convenient, intuitive understanding of the officers of these divisions.
"Next, let's talk about cavalry attacks. Equipped with takin, our hoplites will have thicker armor. When charging, it can also be more ferocious and impactful...... "Yun Yue's class was full of enthusiasm. In the end, Yun Yue also creatively interacted with the division commanders. Answer everyone's questions and go through this class. The tactical and theoretical level of the division commanders has been greatly improved, and their tactical awareness is also highly unified with Yun Yue.
Yun Yue firmly believes that in the next battle. The integration of the army will be stronger, and the officers of the divisions and regiments will understand their intentions and will be more resolute in carrying out tactical tasks. It's all crucial for victory. The success of this class greatly strengthened Yun Yue's confidence. In the future, as long as you take a few more classes, you can hatch a large number of generals in the army.
"Listening to Hou Ye's words is better than reading for ten years!" After finishing the lecture, Yun Yue and Wei Fang drank tea in the lecture hall. Preparing dinner is solved here, and the house is too noisy.
"The gentleman praised it falsely, but he just instilled some ideas into these killers. They all came up from the low-level officers, and they were still full of the killing of Jin Ge Iron Horse. We also need to use the corpse mountain and blood river to verify the bravery of the soldiers, but it is the enemy's corpse mountain and blood river, not our own people.
Fighting this thing is always dead, it's inevitable. However, we always want to die as few people as possible. One person has one head, and if it falls off, it can't grow. ”
"That is, the Hou Ye will care about the life and death of the soldiers, whether it is Great Qin or the Six Eastern Kingdoms. Which famous general does not regard human life as a mustard. At that time, Wu Anjun killed 400,000 soldiers in the first battle of the Zhao army, and he was a murderer for Zhao Guo, but for Daqin, he was a meritorious achievement. Obviously, the old guy didn't agree with Yun Yue's theory. Fighting always kills people, and caring too much for the soldiers will reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. The old guy has been studying military affairs all his life, and he still understands these things.
Yun Yue just wanted to refute, but suddenly Wusun Ji Changchuang came in. "Brother, here's your chance to get rich." (To be continued.) )
