"Ha, ha, ha......" Out of the hatch, Zhao Hao looked up to the sky and laughed three times, feeling very comfortable in his heart, and secretly said that this family is his own family. Previously, Yuan Miao never said much except to teach him to practice martial arts, and he was always an eternal, unhappy and sad Buddha, and he didn't expect that he would stand on his side at this critical moment today. not only defended himself, but also stopped Ying Jieyan for him, the most ridiculous thing is that he was originally sent by Ying Jieyan to take care of him, but at this moment, the role has been reversed.

"Your Highness, Fu Shuai has an order, the ship is not allowed to enter the war zone without permission, this is ......," Zheng Yi said with some embarrassment when he received the order to sail the ship.

"Zheng Yi, the rule of our pro-army is 'obey for His Highness', do you understand what it means?" Without waiting for Zhao Hao to speak, Ni Liang glared and said, blaming him for not being able to distinguish between big and small cats.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Zheng Yi immediately understood, and immediately ordered the boat to sail.

At this moment, all the merchant ships were driven to the side away from the battlefield by the navy, lowered their sails and anchored to guard them, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the waterway and prevent anyone from escaping. At a glance, the masts are like a forest, but it is also magnificent, Zhao Yu's rough count is only hundreds of ships in this place, think about how there are thousands of ships scattered in the city and everywhere, but I don't know how many I can get in the end.

Looking at the camp of the Red Army in front of the city, the embers of the camp have not disappeared, and there is still curling green smoke rising, but it is mixed with the smell of barbecue. Zhao Hao looked at it and shook his head, you have to demolish the good city, now there is evil retribution, if you hide in the city, you won't die so ugly. The only remaining front army and the Chinese army in front of Zhongcheng have been lined up, and there are tens of thousands of volunteers who have rushed over. Block the southern city tightly.

Zheng Yi saw that the prince squinted and saw the effort, so he hurriedly sent the clairvoyant mirror, and Zhao Yu was very satisfied with this. Take it and look into the distance. The east and west winged cities have been planted with Song character flags, and the soldiers of the Shuai Mansion are standing on them. The middle city is full of Yuan soldiers, but they were all Song soldiers last year, and now they have only changed their skins, and everyone has become mortal enemies. Now it is a bow and arrow, always guarding against the Song army under the city, and staging the tragedy of fighting in the same room......

"Your Highness is here in person. The subordinates failed to meet from afar, please atone for their sins! At this time, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu came to see each other on the boat, and when they came up, they asked for sin.

"Both of them are working hard. What is the crime, and what is the current state of war? Zhao Yu waved his hand to excuse him.

"Your Highness, the eastern, western, and southern gates of the middle city have been surrounded as ordered, and the two-winged city has also been recovered. Just wait for His Highness's order to attack the city. Zhao Mengjin said.

"Your Highness. His subordinates ordered the navy to block all the waterways leading from the city to the outside, and they were ready to attack the east and west water gates! Liu Zhu said.

"Well, the king doesn't understand how to fight, and it's up to you to decide through deliberation. But I only have one request, that is, I can't let the Liang thieves destroy the city and take away the money in the city, otherwise our whole army will have nothing to drink. Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"This ...... Please also make it clear to Your Highness! The two looked at each other, and both could see that the other was full of doubts. Everyone knows that swords and guns are eyeless, water and fire are ruthless, and who dares to guarantee that there will be no losses in this battle. Zhao Mengjin saluted again.

"Fu Shuai is in the cabin, you can go and ask him!" Zhao Yu knew that he had a few brushes, and it was okay to come up with bad ideas, but when it came to arranging troops, it was a black eye, so he sent them to Ying Jieyan, and he just had to watch them not smash the 'job'......

After a while, Ying Jieyan, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu came out of the cabin, and then Zhao and Liu said goodbye to Zhao Yu and left by boat. But Ying Jieyan didn't leave, and watched the battle with Zhao Yu at the bow of the boat. They didn't leave for a long time, and Zhao Yu looked at the Song army's formation in front of the city suddenly changed greatly, the bow and crossbow team moved forward, the sword and shield soldiers were behind, and the spearmen pressed the formation.

"What is this going to do, sir?" Zhao Yu was a little puzzled, and raised his head and asked.

"Your Highness, just look at it, and we'll know later." Ying Jieyan said expressionlessly, obviously still angry about what happened just now.

"Sir, the sergeants of each team use the same weapons, but what does it mean to be a 'pure team'?" Zhao Yu was bored, looked at it for a moment and asked.

"Exactly!"

"Oh, that's it!" Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Zhao Yu asked suspiciously, "Sir, what are the benefits of such a formation?" There are both long and short flower outfits, both offensive and defending, what's wrong? "In the era of cold weapons, the whole team will use all the weapons to become a pure team; Conversely, the whole team uses a variety of weapons in combination to call it a flower outfit. This was originally a different way of organizing two kinds of soldiers, and after the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the Song army mostly used a pure team formation, which caused continuous controversy in later generations.

Some people think that the Song army has been defeated repeatedly in several large-scale wars, and it is because of the use of pure team formation, which leads to the lack of cooperation between the various arms, so that they cannot care for each other in the battle, and if one is breached, the whole team will collapse. Therefore, they thought that flower costumes were the king, especially in the Ming Dynasty Qi Jiguang's 'Mandarin Duck Array', which was relied on to create the world-famous Qi family army.

Zhao Yu also argued with people on the Internet in his previous life, but a group of people are all talking on paper, citing from historical books and wild histories, no one has ever seen what a pure team and a flower team are, and can only use the establishment in the modern army as a model for brain supplementation. As a result, the public says that the public is justified and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and in the end, often the 'academic' discussion turns into a battle of wills, which ends in mutual abuse, and naturally it is impossible to explain why.

And today Zhao Yu has seen the truth, and he also wants to know that the Great Song Dynasty is also an era of talents, and he will not be stupid to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two formations, and now there is an expert with both civil and military skills by his side, so he wants him to solve this problem that has plagued him for many years, if he has the opportunity to return to his previous life, he will no longer have to talk with those uninformed nonsense.

"What His Highness said was also controversial in the early years of the court, and it took two dynasties to reach a conclusion." Ying Jieyan looked at His Royal Highness, although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but as a teacher, he still had to be responsible. Of course, there are a few people in the world who are not good teachers, and of course there are a few teachers who don't like students who are diligent and inquisitive.

"Please explain it in detail, sir!" Zhao Yu said respectfully, but secretly thought in his heart that there was not only a dispute about this matter in later generations, but there were different opinions at that time, and the pure team seemed to be the result of the controversy.

"Hmm!" Ying Jieyan nodded, and after a little thought, he talked about the past. After Gaozong's southern crossing, he formed a garrison army to replace the collapsed forbidden army system, and generally adopted a team of 50 people. Han Shizhong and other armies all used pure team tactics, and the pure teams of the Sichuan armies also "took 56 people as a team".

Zhang Jun, the prime minister at the time, believed, "All armies should form pure guns, pure bows, and pure crossbow teams." The team of guns came first, followed by the bow, and the crossbow. Its crossbowmen each carry a knife and axe. Each team has 90 people, and the nine teams make one and nine are a formation. The edge bow can shoot 80 steps, the crossbow can shoot more than 200 steps, if the captives are close, the first crossbow, the spear, the bow team sits, the second bow, if to the front, then the pure spear is very strong, can resist the horse's feet, rarely invincible". However, the fancy costume "watched in vain", "the number of bows and crossbows was small, and the gunners were scattered in the team, and they missed the story", which was not suitable for fighting with the Jin army.

Of course, Zhang Jun's statement was also refuted by some people, and after repeated arguments, no decision was reached, and each army still went its own way. This controversy continued into the later period of Xiaozong, when Wu Ting, Peng Gao, and Fu Jun, the three commanders of Sichuan, thought that even if the number of troops and weapons were the same, and the clumsiness of the weapon configuration was also an important factor in the strength of combat effectiveness, which meant that the fancy outfit was inferior to the pure team. The imperial court finally decided to cancel the fancy costumes, and all of them were formed in pure teams, which were customized for the army, and the standards for the training of each army have been continued to this day.

"Your Highness understands?" After the explanation, Ying Jieyan pointed to the big array and asked.

"Sir, are you going to storm the city?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked with a sullen face. He already understood at this moment that the reason why the Song army chose to form a pure team was designed for the cavalry charge of the Jin army, but this was more suitable for large-scale battles rather than small-scale melee combat. The formation that Zhao Mengjin had just discharged was to use spears in front and bows and crossbows in the back to prevent the enemy troops in the city from charging with cavalry.

Now the change of formation to make the sword and shield soldiers come forward is to turn to the offensive, wanting to send them to force their way to the city. Sure enough, at this time, the navy sent more than a dozen small boats into the moat in front of the city, and quickly lowered the anchor, hooked the end of the boat together, and built three boat bridges on the water, which was to establish a passage for the infantry to reach the front of the city. They were so contrary to Zhao Hao's previous orders.

"Your Highness, the tiger is hidden in the mountains, how can it get out of the mountains if you don't hurry?" Ying Jieyan saw that His Royal Highness was angry, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he stroked his beard and said. However, he also secretly praised this kid for being really smart, and he could see his intentions with just a few words of his explanation, and he also saw that His Highness was good at planning, but he still lacked a basic understanding of actual combat. But thinking that he is still young, and with his intelligence, as long as he studies more, he can become a competent commander in a few years, and the revival of the Great Song Dynasty may really fall on His Royal Highness as Liu Huang said.

"Sir's meaning is to knock on the mountain and scare him!" Zhao Hao is easy to understand. Think about it, now that the surrounding towns are lost, the enemy army has come to the city, and the strength is far superior to their own, there are walls in the city as a barrier to stand for help, and there is a danger of being surrounded and annihilated when leaving the city, so it is naturally safer to stay in the city at the moment. Now if you want him to get out of the city, you must first understand that the city is not safer than the breakout, so as to force Liang Xiongfei to abandon the city and take the city completely. And I don't want to be as simple as I think, leave a door for it and it will slip away obediently.

"Exactly, our posture of attacking the city is to tell the Liang thieves that we are determined to win Guangzhou City, and then exert deterrence, so that they are cowardly, the soldiers dare not fight, and force the Liang thieves to surrender or flee!" Ying Jieyan nodded and said...... (To be continued.) )
