Of course, although it is too risky to use soldiers, it is good to win this game in the end. Xu Gaozhuo is more open to this, but Ye Fu is more concerned about the next move.

You know, there are two-thirds of the cavalry on the opposite side, and there are not a few of them.

The lethality to the infantry is still very large.

"Huh? This is an offense? ”

The sound of artillery has not stopped, and the infantry of the first party has begun to advance with the artillery fire.

The way they advanced seemed to Xu Gaozhuo to be extremely unfamiliar. But Ye Fu saw it in his eyes, but he was extremely happy.

You know, in this day and age, such close coordination is almost impossible to encounter.

However, the troops in front of them have obviously begun to explore new coordinated tactics.

"Instead of artillery fire directing troops, it is using forces to direct artillery fire." Ye Fu said.

Although Ma Xiaoliu's infantry and artillery coordination is still very poor, and he does have the consciousness of using troops to guide artillery fire, but in fact, it has not really made any qualitative changes. But it's good to have this idea.

As the infantry advanced under the coordination of artillery fire, Jin Yichuan's cavalry had basically been suppressed and could not give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry. And at this time, the cavalry belonging to Party A outflanked from both sides. Knowing that Party B was invincible, he had no choice but to turn around and retreat.

Retreat, however, often means defeat.

Xu Gaozhuo put down the binoculars and felt that there was no suspense in the battle in front of him.

Ye Fu put his hands behind his back, looked at the battlefield where there was almost no suspense, and said to Xu Gaozhuo and Trinidad who were standing on both sides of him: "Fighting a war requires tactics, and under the same conditions of weapons and equipment, a good tactic is enough to bring ruin to the originally powerful opponent. ”

Xu Gaozhuo nodded.

Trinidad was silent, thoughtful.

"So, why should I decentralize the fire?" Ye Fu turned his head and looked at the two of them, "Starting from the small team, you must know tactics, be able to formulate tactics and use tactics. At the same time, we need to ensure that their tactics have the necessary force guarantees. The dueling style of one-man confrontation is not suitable for us. Compared with the steppe peoples, it is impossible for us to absolutely suppress each other in mounted archery. It's as if a child born to grow up in a water town, under the same conditions, cannot be trained to ride and shoot better than a child who has lived on horseback since childhood. We have to learn to use our strengths! Firepower! Equip! What the Tartars don't have, we have to have. They are where we have strengths, and we need to build on our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. In this way, it is possible to occupy the initiative in the war. ”

"Ma Xiaoliu's tactic itself is a good idea, but there are still many things that can be improved. The so-called coordinated operation is not only the cooperation of infantry and artillery cavalry, but also the cooperation of the three arms. Rather, it is the cooperation of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage troops, and even medical personnel. At the same time, it also includes the cooperation within the various arms. ”

"What do you mean by adult~~" Xu Gaozhuo wondered.

Ye Fu looked at him and said, "There's nothing I don't understand, presumably the selection of the second phase of cadets has been almost done, right?" The first issue is an attempt, and from the second issue onwards, many things have to be set up in the rules. I mentioned to you before, you don't seem to pay too much attention to it, and you even made a 'training camp' for me? I won't bother with you this time, but this is a thing that violates the yang and the yin, and there is no second time. ”

Xu Gaozhuo lowered his head and didn't dare to reply.

Ye Fu is his boss, he can take advantage of loopholes, but he can't contradict him for this kind of thing.

Ye Fuxue didn't care about this, and said to himself: "Even if I didn't make it clear before, this time, I will explain it to you, the future academic arrangement must be set according to my frame, and then I will not tolerate it!" After that, all the students who entered the hall were divided into two batches. Enrollment starts in July each year, and recruits start in September. Undertake a three-month preparatory course, during which you will learn military regulations, queues, and physical fitness. On January 1, the school officially opened for a year of basic subject study. Then, the five branches of the troops, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineer, and baggage, were arranged to enter the third post of the pro-barracks for a three-month probationary period. Those who pass the probationary period will return to the school for one and a half years of professional subject study. That is to say, each term of military training lasts for three years. One more day won't work, and one less day won't work. ”

Xu Gaozhuo listened blankly, but Trinidad kept nodding.

Ye Fu patted Xu Gaozhuo's shoulder and said, "Don't say that I stand on the mountain!" I'm going to put my words here today, in the future, as long as I am still in the Dangerous Mountain Army for a day, anyone who wants to serve as a small flag officer in the Dangerous Mountain Army must be a graduate of the Martial Arts Academy! Anyone who plans to be promoted to a thousand households must have a one-year teaching experience in the school! It's not that I'm forcing anyone, but the civil servants all know that they have to study hard for ten years, be admitted to the Jinshi, and also watch politics and study. They are facing officialdom, and they have a chance to make a comeback if they lose their footing for a while. What about us? We are facing an enemy with butcher knives on the front line! Don't you want to learn? Is it useful to have only one body of blood? Could it be that blind is a good word! ”

When the military academy was in full swing, on the other hand, Ye Fu did not let go of more important things.

Although he had just proposed the so-called 'engineering troops' in the academy, when he actually applied them, he had already deployed the engineering troops in the battalion-level units in the name of the 'people's brigade'. Moreover, with the help of the opportunity to build castles and dig trenches, he also trained a relatively professional engineering team.

Of course, the title of the engineer is still limited to the academy, and the battalion-level troops are called 'earthen battalions', except for the fact that they don't even wear military uniforms, the rest of the places are actually similar to the civilian team.

And the origin of the personnel in this unit is more interesting. All of them are death row prisoners captured by the forts in the territory of Ye Fu's subordinate dangerous mountains!

Outside the Dangerous Mountain Fort.

Taking advantage of the sunny day, the earthen camp was busy burying the iron-clad thunderbolt cannons.

In fact, it is what later generations called landmines.

When Ye Fu came here on horseback, he saw that mines were being planted in the ground according to the arrangement.

"Your Excellency, are you here?" The person in charge of the earthen camp is also Ye Fu's own person.

These people do not belong to any army, and according to the understanding of ordinary people, they can probably be regarded as Ye Fu's private soldiers. also holds the weapons and salaries of the Ming Dynasty, but does not do things for the court, but only for Ye Fu alone.

Of course, there are too many such private soldiers in Liaodong, and they have become the main force on the battlefield a long time ago. So, anyone is probably turning a blind eye, and no one is going to bother with this.

The person who came forward to talk was named Feng Shen, and he was the pipe band of the private soldier who was in charge of the earthen camp.

When Ye Fu saw him, he asked, "How is it?" Are the new mines still working? ”

Feng Shen immediately smiled and said, "My lord, the Ordnance Department is really capable!" Add a little spice to the mine, and it will not be easy to get hurt, this idea is really great! Compared to the previous mines, it is much easier to use! I'm afraid that Qi Shuai didn't have such a good thing back then, right? ”
