302. Mechanics of War

"Your Majesty, if you don't think that a minister can't be proficient in military affairs. Sun Wubu didn't lead troops to fight for a day back then, but he also wrote the art of war. And Sun Wu's lifetime experience in actually commanding operations is probably much less than that of everyone here, right? But in the history of Dan Shuqing, who can deny that Sun Wu is a military master? Therefore, I don't think that to be proficient in military affairs, it is necessary to lead troops to fight, and some people study military theory. Therefore, if you don't lead troops to fight, you don't necessarily have no military skills. Jingwen said.

Jingwen's words immediately made everyone explode. Because Jingwen actually compared Sun Wu, isn't this just a slap in everyone's face? Sun Wuke is a Chinese soldier saint, and the famous Art of War was written by him. However, Jingwen took Sun Wu's lack of actual combat experience as a theoretical basis, showing that being proficient in military affairs does not necessarily have to be able to command and fight. But this made those who have been studying Sun Tzu's Art of War annoyed for a while, and actually compared their idols, isn't this a slap in the face for everyone?

"Hmph, the soldier saint Sun Wu is born to know, and he is a genius, how can he be compared to ordinary people? Therefore, it is very ridiculous for you to compare Sun Wu with you. What are you? How dare you compare with the soldier saint Sun Wu? Someone immediately scolded.

But Jingwen replied: "Your Majesty, although the minister does not dare to compare with Sun Wu, the minister thinks that the minister is also a person who studies the theory of the art of war. The minister has never led troops to fight, but it does not necessarily mean that the minister does not know the art of war! ”

"Your Majesty, since Jingwen is so confident, let him talk about the theory he studied." Li Jing said.

Li Shimin immediately said: "Okay, since Jingwen claims to be able to study the art of war, let's talk about your research results." There are quite a few famous players here, and you should give you a fair judgment! ”

"By the way, don't fool us with those things from the past? Don't think that you can memorize the art of war well, it's just paper. You have to come up with something new, and if you don't have something new, you don't want to be approved by us! Zhang Shigui said.

And Jingwen also took the initiative to say: "After research. There is a certain understanding of the composition of the army's combat effectiveness. Therefore, as long as it is developed according to my theory, it will certainly be able to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin really cares, because the composition of the army's combat effectiveness is a matter that any general is concerned about. Now that Jingwen actually said the composition of the army's combat effectiveness, everyone is thinking about how to improve the army's combat effectiveness. Now that Jingwen is so ashamed, then everyone naturally wants to listen to it.

"The combat effectiveness of the army, I think, is composed of troops, mobility. There is also the impact composition. The strength of the army, that is, the number of troops, and the combat elements of the army. This is what constitutes the strength of the force. And mobility, that is, represents the mobility of the army. If the mobility is not good, then the army will not be able to make the most of it. One can imagine how much combat effectiveness an army can bring if it marches slowly? Finally, there is the impact force, that is, the ability to impact the opponent's position. These three components are the mechanics of war. ”

"And increase the number of troops. Many people can understand this, but everyone may not know this point of increasing mobility and impact. And cavalry is a class of troops that has raised its mobility and impact power to the peak. Cavalry marched on the ground because it did not rely on the two legs of a man. Instead, he relies on war horses, so this also allows him to march quickly, and this is to increase mobility. The purpose of cavalry is to storm the enemy's infantry positions. Finally, break through the formation of the infantry defense. And the impact power of the cavalry is undoubted, but once the cavalry is intercepted by the infantry, it loses the impact power. So. If we want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, we must improve the strength, mobility, and impact power. In the past, generals were thinking about troops, but I plan to make a fuss about mobility and impact. Jingwen said.

"Hmph, how is that possible? Unless your army is all cavalry! It is impossible for my Datang to give you all cavalry, and I Datang can't afford to raise so many cavalry. Zhang Shigui said.

However, Jingwen continued: "After my research, the mobility and impact force are related to speed. So as long as I can increase the speed of the infantry and save the explosive power of the infantry, then I can do it. The infantry usually marched on foot, so when they arrived on the battlefield, the physical consumption was already very large, so the impact was insufficient. And I equipped the infantry with a transport vehicle, so that the infantry can reach the combat vehicle without spending their body, and then they can charge with all their body, which improves the mobility and impact power. ”

Hearing this, everyone finally got serious. Because Jingwen found another way, he actually took out a carriage for the soldiers to ride, and when the time came, he could directly get off the carriage and charge directly. In this way, the infantry's body is saved, and it can be used to fight with all its body, and it will not be wasted on meaningless marches. Don't look at the method proposed by Jingwen is very simple, but there are so many generals, no one could have thought of it before, this is Jingwen's theory. Who would have suggested that the combat effectiveness of the army comes from the strength of the army, the power of the machine, and the impact force, but there is no one. And everyone only knows that military strength can improve combat effectiveness, but everyone has no research on mobility and impact power at all. Now it has been brought up by Jingwen, and Jingwen is still developing the army like this, so that everyone can find that Jingwen is not useless.

"And my Datang will fight against the Turks in the future, and it will be fought in winter, and it will consume a lot. And in this case, we must fight quickly, so that we can achieve victory as much as possible. The other troops marched on foot, so they could no longer compare with our Snow Shame Army in terms of mobility and impact. As long as our Disgrace Army is on the battlefield, then we can use it as several times Cointreau. Jingwen said.

But Zhang Shigui was still unwilling to say: "Then we can also change a general!" ”

"But do the other generals understand how to use this kind of infantry with extreme mobility? This kind of artistic conception is not ordinary infantry, but motorized infantry. Do any of you be able to use it well? And I, the one who built this army of shame, of course I know best about this motorized infantry. So, this commander is none other than me! Jingwen said.

Jingwen used the theory of improving mobility and impact power to arm the Snow Shame Army, and the other generals had no choice but to use this army well. And Jingwen is the one who created the Snow Shame Army, and only he can use it well. Jing Wen proved from this point that he was the only person who could be the commander of the Snow Shame Army.
