Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 126 The Noon Offensive (16)
But the soldiers didn't know the danger of so many heavily armored cavalry, they only saw the safety through experiments, and all the other tactics were told by Jiang Yu, or formed a de facto death squad, that's a story later.
Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing, and Jiang Yuyan himself feels that he does not treat the soldiers badly, he also has to take these risks to fight, these theoretical risks, he himself only learned through various modern information media, and has no actual combat experience.
In fact, war is such a thing, to put it bluntly, to a certain extent, even a rare thing. It may be that in times of complete war, there will be some truly battle-hardened warriors who have seen all kinds of war scenes.
But in peacetime, there are very few people who have actually experienced war, and even rarer people who have sufficient depth and breadth of experience, and their experience will be the most valuable intelligence information.
Even in the orthodox years of Ming Yingzong, Luchuan is actually not a real era of war, although there are frequent wars in the Luchuan area, but most of them are small-scale battles, and the real large-scale battles actually occur relatively rarely, and most of them do not have enough knowledge and do not understand the situation of fighting in different situations.
At the end of the day, they're all new recruits on this battlefield. Including Jiang Yugang, they are all talking on paper.
Before the real war is tempered, in fact, everyone is just talking on paper, and once the results of the war are verified, the transformation from paper to actual combat ability will soon occur, and some people will stand out in the process and become "famous generals".
Will a famous general be able to win the war all the time? The answer is undoubtedly no, there may be a god of war like a figure, but the final result is no, because this is the law of nature.
But compared with the legend of winning all the time, Jiang Yugang is more yearning for the result of winning in key battles and achieving his goals. The crucial battle was just around the corner, and he felt like he had done his best.
Before the crossing, he was not such a hard worker, or rather, sometimes he tried so hard, but soon got tired of it, so he put down his strength and chose a more relaxed way to live.
And after coming to Luchuan in the orthodox years of Ming Yingzong, he almost had a feeling of dreaming, and the efforts in the dream seemed to have become less exhausting.
As a person who makes a living from the antique trade, Jiang Yu's knowledge of various historical knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people, and his university education in engineering allows him to look at the past history from a more comprehensive perspective.
In addition to the most basic politics and culture, there is also the history of craftsmanship, the history of science and technology, or the history of the productive forces, and when looking at the past from these aspects, he always has some special feelings that are different from those of other people who look at history from a traditional perspective.
Even because of the excavation of the details of various scientific and technological histories and military histories, Jiang Yugang understands the manufacturing process of a large number of weapons and industrial tools, as well as related supporting processes such as smelting, as well as the principles of chemistry and physics.
These things allow him to look at the past years from a more scientific perspective, to find plausible analysis for all records, and to prove the conclusions of different historical analyses, so as to constantly lift the fog of history and see reality.
This feeling is born from a comprehensive perspective, and he can't help but see the limitations in some historical details, and at the same time, in later time and space, as civilization develops and progresses in a certain aspect, and the solution to these limitations is born.
That is, everything is not a dead end, everything has a turnaround.
But these things, in the final analysis, are still confined to Jiang Yugang's thoughts, the mind of an antique dealer who travels around the world, no one recognizes it, and no one has the ability to confirm his ideas.
So he thought lonely, thinking that one day, he would be able to lead a heavy cavalry to rush to the infantry camp of the traditional cold weapon era, and he thought that one day, he would be able to build an ironclad ship in the Ming era and sail to the distant ocean.
And after an inexplicable special contact, this dream actually partially became a reality, and he really came to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, with his own thoughts full of ideas, and a large amount of technology stored in his head.
There is also a point that makes him vaguely excited, that is, the place he came to, Luchuan.
As a person who has studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Yugang has spent a lot of energy reading and researching and analyzing books and articles related to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he feels that one of the key points that needs to be paid attention to is the battle of Luchuan that occurred in the orthodox years of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. The curtain of tragedy and ups and downs of the times opened with the change of Tumu Fort.
And the most unacceptable thing is that this funeral song and the final demise of the Ming Dynasty are not the death of Chongzhen's coal mountain, but the difficulty of cursing the water, and the death of the Ming Dynasty at the hands of Wu Sangui, there are still inextricable links. After the Battle of Luchuan, the Ming Dynasty's control over the Indochina Peninsula had dropped significantly, and the assimilation strategy that had been gradually carried out had become autonomous, and finally into a ceremonial relationship, with no actual control over each other.
Jiang Yugang has always thought about what method he should take to reverse the situation if he came to Luchuan at this time, even if he couldn't change the form of the civil fort in the north, at least he had to change the ending in Luchuan, and finally change the end of the Ming Dynasty.
And after he really came to Luchuan, he was also shocked by the fact that he had traveled to the orthodox period of Ming Yingzong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was excited to have this opportunity to display his ideas and realize his pursuit.
He did do some things, relying on his skilled understanding of firearms, for the skirmish of the rich experience, he achieved several small miracles in the Manggu Mountain, successfully controlled the form of the Manggu Mountain, and established a large fortress-like walled city, in which he established his own original set of management system, with the help of modern management experience, to achieve more than the original Manggu Mountain cottage in the villagers labor efficiency much higher productivity.
But he is still a little worse than the real change of the situation, as a force that has controlled Luchuan for many years, the Luchuan Army's organizational and mobilization capabilities are still not comparable to the Ming Army, not to mention an officer like Jiang Yugang who can almost be said to be a low-level officer.
If it weren't for Bai Qianfan's trust, and the casualties were really difficult to make up, Jiang Yuyan would not be strictly qualified to control a place with so many people like Mang Ancient Castle, even if it was developed by him here, it would be the same.
Before obtaining the consent of the Ministry of War, Jiang Yugang was only a hundred households, and strictly speaking, he could only manage more than a hundred soldiers under him.
He walked on the road to the North City Tower, and he also thought about these things with anxiety in his heart, from the initial nothing, to the current owner of Manggu Castle, he still has money and food in his hand that can support thousands of people, he is no longer the antique dealer Jiang Yugang who traveled all over the world before he crossed over, but he is also not the one who crossed over to Manggu Mountain, and managed a few craftsmen under his small banner Jiang Yugang.
Now he is the owner of Manggu Castle, the leader of the soldiers and people from the Ming Army, and the leader of the residents of Mang Castle who were born at the foot of Manggu Mountain and River, the so-called military master. It's not that he can't afford this title at all, just in terms of the ability to control the troops, the scale of the 1,000 people under Jiang Yugang may be one of the best on the battlefield in Meng Yangcheng.
Even theoretically, the person in charge of Mengyang, the highest-ranking officer, and the temporary Mengyang garrison Bai Qianfan, actually controlled the same number of troops as Jiang Yugang, and when it comes to the most powerful general in Mengyang City, Jiang Yugang may really have a place.
But this identity is also a burden, Jiang Yu has something to lose, people will no longer be chic in the past, there are more things to consider, more trade-offs are needed, and people's spirits will be heavy.
He kept getting caught up in long exams, and even the entourage around him was curiously worried.
After handing over the garrison task of the South City Tower to the commander of the array, Jiang Yugang took Auma and Li Zhong to the blockade site of the South City Gate to observe the work of the temporarily transferred craftsmen.
Around the small south gate, the craftsmen are busy with work, using a large amount of earth and stone to start blocking the gate, and at the same time destroying the bolting device of the original gate, so that the gate can not be opened and closed normally, and falls into a sealed state.
After the blockade of Kyocera, the southern castle tower was no longer a gate that could be exited through the castle gate, but instead became a stone urn that could only be entered and exited through the castle tower, and enemies outside the castle faced greater difficulties in entering the castle, and the people inside the castle also lost their way out of the castle walls.
This approach is not much different from Xiang Yu's ruined boat back then, it is the only way to retreat, and after that, there is only one way to fight.
The array commander also came to Jiang Yugang's side at this time, and he was called out by Aouma. This man was also from Nansang Village, and was once a descendant of Aouma, because when he grew up, Luchuan had already been caught in a long war, so the power of each village was shrinking, and he preferred to protect himself rather than expand his power outward.
At this time, the pursuit of the common people was nothing more than the ability to save their lives and continue to survive, so the owners of each village tended to cultivate a large number of private soldiers who obeyed their orders in order to keep the village safe.
It was in this environment that Dao Rong was selected as the warrior of the village owner at a very young age. Unlike guards, warriors often have to set foot in more dangerous places, and their lives are not adequately guaranteed.
But fortunately, Dao Rong's brother is a friend of Aouma, and the two are also the personal guards of the village owner, and they are the highest-ranking warriors in the village. In a battle, Dao Rong's brother was accidentally injured and later died, and since then, Dao Rong's last relative has died, and he has become a completely helpless person, and Dao Rong is just a child at this time.
may be precisely because of his helpless status, Dao Rong has practiced martial arts with his brother since he was a child, plus he went into the mountains to hunt, and he also has a good body, and as a result, he has become a warrior of the owner of the village. Dao Rong himself was very happy with this arrangement, but Awuma, because he took pity on the misfortune of the younger brother's family of his former friend, treated him as one of his own younger brothers, and always took care of him in every way.
When the first battle broke out between Nansangzhai and the Luchuan army, Auma stopped Dao Rong's decision to fight as the vanguard and arranged for Dao Rong to hide in the mountains for two days.
These people are all from the ancient castle of Mang
