Chapter 759: The Listener Has Intention
Fang Guoan still frowned and said, "Does the prince think that it is wrong and inappropriate for the soldiers to charge bravely?" ”
Wu Zhengzheng said: "The bravery of a soldier can never be wrong, but the commander's command may be out of place. A group of sheep led by a wolf is more powerful than a group of wolves led by a sheep. ”
"I just don't feel the need for it." Fang Guoan is still refusing, this kind of psychology, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, everyone's strengths are suddenly denied by others, this sense of loss is very ...... Unbearable.
Wu Zheng was angry in his heart, but he could also understand Fang Guoan's feelings, and after thinking about it, Wu Zheng said: "In this competition, Lord Fang will pick the person first. If Lord Fang wins, Lord Fang will lead the guard alone, and if Lord Fang loses, then learn from each other's strengths and retrain these 30,000 recruits with new rules. ”
Fang Guoan raised his eyebrows, his heart was moved, his biggest wish now was to lead the troops alone.
He can see that Wu Zheng's power is getting stronger and stronger, and the so-called occupancy should be done as soon as possible, and the sooner he enters the core layer, the greater the room for promotion in the future.
But to occupy a place, the fastest and most direct is to make military achievements, so the temptation of being able to lead a guard alone is indeed great.
Thinking of this, Fang Guoan arched his hand and said: "If you obey your orders, you will do what the prince wants." ”
……。
Wu Zheng actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, the so-called crossing the river by feeling the stones.
In his previous life, he had never led his troops to fight, and during the Anti-Japanese War, our army did not have enough weapons and ammunition, and they were also fighting with the enemy with bayonets.
But Qi Jin's handwriting really made Wu Zheng's heart feel a lot, he calculated it several times, and it turned out that Qi Jin's record was not false.
A hundred paces away, thousands of people fired, and with the range and power of the fire guns at that time, the hit rate can be imagined.
However, the Qing army (actually the firearms soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty), after changing camps, got rid of the rigid tactics and defeated the 1,000 Ming army with 700 people in one fell swoop, which is simply a classic example of firearms.
At that time, the soldiers of the Ming army could be called brave, seeing that they did not hit, they immediately launched a charge against the enemy, because the loading of the fire system was too slow, it took one or two minutes, this kind of bravery, but encountered a salvo of Qing firearms twenty steps away, and the distance of twenty paces was the best range of range, and the power was also in the maximum range, and the result could be imagined.
This example made Wu Zheng a little flustered.
If, if the musketeers led by him also encountered such a Qing army firearms, what would be the result for him?
Unless the city is defended and cannot be defended, otherwise, the three-stage attack will also be broken by the enemy's volley.
This, the reverse is also true, because a salvo of twenty paces, charging at the infantry, that is slaughter, the army at that time did not have the tactical action of crawling forward, charging, that is, swarming to kill and advance.
Wu Zheng knew that this kind of assumption would definitely appear in the future, because the musket was not his patent, and as long as he was willing to pay the money, it was impossible for the merchants not to sell it to the Qing court.
Since it was impossible to prevent the Qing court from obtaining muskets, it had to work training and tactics.
Of course, Wu Zheng knew how to improve the ability of individual soldiers, but this was of little use.
One of the main reasons why hot weapons can replace cold weapons is that soldiers are civilian, warriors are no longer the exclusive domain of nobles, and anyone can be a musketeer as long as they are trained properly.
There are many people and great strength, and the most powerful aristocratic cavalry encounters several times or even ten times the volley of muskets, and the result is the same.
A martial arts master who has practiced all his life is no match for a bullet shot by a childish boy ten steps away.
As a result, the greatest power of hot weapons lies in teamwork, not individual combat.
This leads to a contradiction, should we focus on teamwork, or fight alone?
Wu Zheng hesitated.
……。
That night, Wu Zheng discussed the matter with Song An and others.
There were four people who came with Wu Zheng this time, Song An, Chi Erhan and two Qi family teenagers, Qi Chenghao and Qi Chengjie.
Bringing Chi Erhan here, Wu Zheng wanted Chi Erhan not to be eliminated by the new army's new tactics in the future, and Chi Erhan's wish was to be a general who galloped on the battlefield, so Wu Zheng planned to let Chi Erhan come to the military academy to be plated with gold.
When Wu Zheng said the problem in his heart and looked at Song An.
In fact, Wu Zheng just wanted to listen to Song An's opinion, because only Song An led the musketeers to fight several times, and the record was very good.
Song An thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, I still pay attention to cooperation." In the previous street battle with the Qing army in Shaoxing City, I scattered the musketeers and took five people as a team, fighting separately. When each team encounters the enemy, they often lead the enemy in a circle with one or two people, and the other three or four people shoot at the enemy according to the house, although the reload is still not fast enough, but they shoot the enemy almost at a distance of more than ten paces, so that later the enemy is demoralized and does not dare to pursue. ”
Wu Zheng nodded, this is indeed reasonable, but the problem is that such street battles are not too representative, because after the Northern Expedition, it is often a large-scale field battle, at least in the early stage, the Qing army will not be so timid that it only dares to defend the city, nor will it come out to meet the battle, especially when both sides know that the other side has artillery as a siege weapon, field battle has become a must.
Just when Wu Zheng was hesitating, what was surprising was that Qi Chenghao, the son of Qi Daokun, spoke: "Lord Wang, can the grass people say a word?" ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, he was indeed surprised, this kid was quite bold.
So he smiled and encouraged, "It's okay, let's hear it." ”
Qi Chenghao shook his body and said a little nervously: "There are also a few fire guns in the grass people's house, which were cast by my father. In the past two years, he and Jie Di have also used fire guns to hunt wild boars in the mountains. ”
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Did you fight?" ”
Qi Chenghao was laughed, but relaxed, "Naturally, I hit it, but the wild boar is very fierce when it is injured, and it will chase after it very quickly." ”
Wu Zheng became interested and asked, "Then how did you do it?" ”
Qi Chenghao replied: "As the general said, the grass people cooperate with Brother Jie. Before firing the first shot, let Jiedi lie in ambush around, the grass people first look at the position of the nearby big tree, as soon as the shot is fired, the grass people turn around and flee to the big tree, and then climb to the tree, when the injured wild boar rushes to the tree, then Jie Di shoots at the wild boar, and then Jie Di also flees to another tree. At this time, the grass people had finished loading the trees and continued to shoot at the wild boar until they killed the wild boar. ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "Good way, it's really hard for you to be so young." But what if there are no big trees on the side? ”
Qi Chenghao replied: "Then it will be more dangerous." ”
Wu Zheng said strangely: "Didn't you really fight?" ”
"Yes."
"How? Are you hurt? ”
"Daddy also made iron fire and thunder...... Well, it's the grenade that the prince said, but it's not as powerful as the prince said, and when it is thrown twenty steps away, there is a loud bang on the ground, there is fire, and there is more smoke, but it does not hurt the wild boar much. ”
