After eating as fast as possible, Zhao Yu wanted to climb the sand bank to check the enemy's situation, but Zhuang Siqi couldn't stop him, so he had to follow him along the top of the embankment to the west, where there was a chest-high low wall to defend against the enemy's bow and crossbow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut in some places, after being smashed by enemy trek-throwing machines, it was not time to repair it, and only sandbags were temporarily piled up to seal the gap, and the vigilant soldiers were lying behind.

"Don't get up, watch out for the Tartar marksman!" Whenever he walked to the gap, some soldiers got up and saluted, and Zhao Hao hurriedly stopped. He knew that the arrows fired by ordinary archers were lethal at seventy or eighty paces, but the arrows fired by Mongolian marksmen could still kill people at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and at the same time it was not safe for him.

"Alas...... Hi! Although Zhao Yu repeatedly stopped him, the soldiers still insisted on getting up and blocking in front of him, and he suddenly understood. He knew that there might be a sharpshooter of the Yuan army lurking in front of him, how could these soldiers not know that they were using their bodies to build a meat shield for themselves, which made Zhao Hao very emotional.

"Your Majesty, don't go any further!" Ahead is the gap that the Yuan army once broke through, the entire sand bank has collapsed, and a team of soldiers is re-driving piles and filling sandbags, of course, it is also the target of the enemy's key attack, Zhuang Siqi hurriedly dissuaded.

"It's good!" Zhao Yu nodded when he saw the nervous appearance of everyone, but he didn't go down, but let the vigilant soldiers disperse, and he lowered his body to look out. I saw that the corpses abandoned by the enemy troops on the beachhead were densely packed like valley figures, and the corpses at the breakthrough were even more like mountains, and the sand embankment that almost collapsed was level, which showed the fierce competition at that time.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where the battle was fiercest at that time, the enemy broke through several times, and his subordinates sent the reserves under the command of the two commanders here to kill the enemy and seal the gap, that is really filling in the gap!" Zhuang Siqi is still in a state of apprehension.

"Your Majesty, when you are most nervous, the commanders all lead the personal guards to rush up and fight the enemy!" Duyu Marquis Zhang Qi on the side interjected.

"Tell me about the situation!" Under the exposure of the sun, the corpse emitted a disgusting smell, and the tragic situation of the severed limbs and brains made Zhao Yudu's meal just eat rush upwards, he retracted his body, sat down against the sandbag and said.

"Your Majesty, it was when the tide was high, and the Yuan army rushed directly to the shore with warships of more than 1,000 stones, although some were destroyed in the sea, but most of the ships still succeeded in grabbing the beach regardless of casualties, so that there would be hundreds of enemy troops who went ashore at one time." Zhang Qi replied.

"In front of the front section of the city, which was less than 100 paces, the enemy army threw hundreds of men into a dense formation to attack each time, and the maximum number was 1,000 at a time. The arrows fired by both sides collided in the air, and we concentrated a dozen ballistas that were difficult to stop by concentrated fire, allowing them to break through the sand bank, and finally we concentrated the forces of two commanders, and two teams of grenadiers to block the breakthrough, and only threw hundreds of grenades. ”

"Well, what about our casualties?" Zhao Yu nodded, the corpses everywhere in front of him already explained the situation at that time, thousands of people were invested on such a narrow offensive surface, and it was almost like one person to another. He knew that in the era of cold weapons, the attacker was all in a specific position and time to invest superior forces to gain tactical advantages, and the dense formation was a necessary means to ensure the number of their own troops, while the defender due to the lack of strong interception firepower, often used intensive assault hand-to-hand combat to achieve good results, at this time often the competition is who is stronger, reserve forces and materials are more sufficient.

"Your Majesty, our army has now suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and no less than 500 have been killed, especially the two commanders guarding this section of the sand bank have lost more than half, and their subordinates have already let them retreat to the rear to rest and recuperate, as a reserve!" Zhang Qi replied, "At present, the enemy army has concentrated at least 30,000 troops in front of us, and we can choose the attack point at will, so that we do not dare to concentrate our forces in one place. The subordinates are worried that if they attack together at multiple points, they will inevitably lose sight of one or the other! ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if the rear army is exhausted, his subordinates will guard both sides of the estuary, and will never let the feet of the Tartars step on the ground in Qiongzhou." Zhuang Siqi was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qi's pessimism and immediately assured.

"Very good, but sometimes the enemy has a lot of flesh and blood, and it can wear down our forces by fighting to the death. The Tartars are good at cavalry warfare, so they develop a simple and rough tactical style, and when attacking, they are accustomed to repeatedly attacking in dense formations, so we must also strengthen the use of firearms, and if necessary, we can increase the angle of fire of rockets, shorten the fuse, and kill and injure the enemy troops by air explosions, but we must notify the front line to do a good job of concealment, so as not to be accidentally injured. Of course, Zhao Yu couldn't sit back and watch the rear army run out, but of course he couldn't criticize Zhuang Siqi's blind confidence at this time, but he knew that as long as the firepower was strong, no matter how many people there were, they could be blown into scum, so he passed on the experience he had just gained to them.

"Yes, if His Majesty hadn't ordered the Sheji to support us, that time would have been really dangerous. And the subordinates thought that the rockets could blow up the Tartars in pieces, but it was because of the operator's mistake that it exploded in advance, and it turned out that His Majesty did it on purpose! Zhuang Siqi listened and said suddenly.

"These Tartars are either stupid or have fallen into evil, knowing that we are well defended, but they still charge in spite of casualties, so that the deaths and injuries are innumerable!" Zhang Qi smiled and said.

"You're not right, the Tartars are not demons, let alone fools, this is their cleverness!" Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, "Concentrating superior forces and organizing multiple waves of dense formations to attack is an intentional and effective tactic of the enemy generals, and they use multiple charges and death strikes without fear of casualties to consume our defensive strength. Such repetition not only leads to an increase in our casualties, but also makes our generals have emotional changes, do not think that the first time you can't rush away, the second and third times you can't rush away, in fact, under every charge of the Tartars who are not afraid of losses, our generals are also changing in their hearts, and then they will have a fear of the enemy, and the resistance will be weakened more and more again. ”

"What Your Majesty said is good, if it weren't for Your Majesty's timely artillery support, there would indeed be a worry of collapse at that time!" Zhuang Siqi thought for a while and said.

"Well, it's good that you can think that way." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "In fact, fighting to the death is the most important foundation of all tactical behaviors, and this is not only the quality that an army should have when it obeys orders, is not afraid of sacrifice, and dares to win battles. At the same time, it is also a helpless choice in the lack of superior equipment, although this style of play will bring more casualties when starting to break through, but these losses are much smaller than the casualties caused by a slow all-out attack, and as long as the breakthrough is successful, it is easy to take advantage of the situation to develop victory. ”

"Your Majesty is right, fortunately, the rear army persevered today and held the sand embankment." Zhuang Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"In today's battle, I also felt lucky, and I didn't expect that the Tartars would attack Joan desperately. Fortunately, we are fighting on the island, and whether it is supplies, ammunition, or soldiers, we can be quickly replenished. I wonder if we were fighting on a remote island, without enough rockets, ballistas, and grenades, we would be able to hold our positions. Under the condition of lack of firearms support, can we still fight without fear of life and death and break through the enemy's defense line like the current Tartars, who cannot be attacked for a long time and suffer heavy casualties? At some point, we must also have the seemingly brutal spirit of the Tartars, and these are not only things that I am worried about, but also that you are worried about by the generals. ”

"Your Majesty's lesson is that your subordinates understand." Zhuang Siqi replied thoughtfully.

"According to the report, now the Chengmai and Changhua naval forces have detoured behind enemy lines, blocking the incoming enemy forces, and at the same time cutting off the current enemy's return route; The Baisha Navy has launched an attack on the enemy's convoy and threatened the enemy's troop convoy. As I thought, the Tartars will learn that the back road has been cut off, and they will hurry up the time to disembark in order to break through our defenses and gain a foothold before the tide rises tomorrow. During this time, therefore, the enemy will continue to launch more fierce attacks on the estuary and the islands of Haitian and Xinbu, and you must also be prepared for night battles. Zhao Yu informed them of the current situation.

"Your Majesty rest assured, my subordinates will do their best to ensure that they do not lose!" Zhuang Siqi reassured.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's strength has been strengthened, and if there is a multi-way intensive attack on multiple sections, I am afraid that the rear army will be difficult to deal with!" Zhang Qi hesitated and said.

"Hun said, we still have 10,000 soldiers, how can we give up easily!" Zhuang Siqi glared at Zhang Qi and said sharply, and then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, even if the rear army fights to the point of one soldier, it will never let the Tartars set foot in Qiongzhou!" ”

"Hehe, it's a good determination to have that. I have ordered the right army to come and reinforce you, and it will arrive before the time of Shen, and the forbidden army in front of the palace will also arrive at the Acropolis before dark. But what Zhang Qi said is right, you still have to be prepared for a fierce battle. Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, if the enemy army is attacking from multiple directions, how can we defend it?" Zhang Qi asked.

"This ......" Zhao Yu scolded in his heart when he heard it, Lao Tzu also experienced such a fierce offensive and defensive battle for the first time, it can be said that he has a headache and a headache, and he has not accumulated more experience, what can he tell them? So I was a little vague and didn't know how to answer.

However, Zhao Hao thought for a while, the enemy was forced to adopt a dense charge formation, precisely because of the formation of a sharp contradiction between the need for a large number of troops and weapons and the narrow charge road on the assault surface, of course, I am afraid that it is also suffering from the poor equipment of the troops, the fire organization ability is too poor, simply charge directly to start a close combat, in order to offset the enemy's geographical advantage, to solve this problem must start from this contradiction.

Zhao Yu thought about it again, the multi-way dense formation was to achieve the maximum number of commandos into the breakthrough in the shortest possible time, and then attack the depth with enough troops and weapons to tear the breakthrough, and for the surviving defenders near the breakthrough, the multiple echelons of dense formations in waves of attacks were undoubtedly the nightmare in their memory. But the 'crowd' tactic worked in most cases, and he thought it was largely due to the weak defenders' firepower.

From this, Zhao Hao thought of the post that was widely debated in the bar in his previous life, which was about the tactics of the People's Liberation Army, which was both positive and negative, and of course he was also involved in it at that time. Now I think it's ridiculous, it's just a bunch of whites who haven't been on the battlefield talking to themselves and commenting on themselves, but at that time, in order to prove that their views were correct, they also cited scriptures and classics, reviewing the old appearance, although no one convinced anyone in the end, but it was not without benefit to me at the moment.

At that time, during the First Civil Revolutionary War, the Red Army was also in a pitiful state of insufficient guns and few bullets. Most of the commanders at the grass-roots level have not undergone systematic military training, and a large number of Red Army soldiers from the rural areas have only begun to become literate after joining the army, and it is impossible to talk about any complex tactical coordination. The natural consequence of this is a preference for simple, dense formations in attack. The commander also demanded, and even encouraged, the assault troops to charge in dense formations, and to deploy superior forces on the front line with a view to fighting a decisive battle in one fell swoop.

These elements that constrained the tactics of modern Chinese infantry also applied to the Nationalist army. For the Nationalist army at the same level, the Red Army tried this tactic unsuccessfully and won quite a few victories. However, after entering the War of Resistance Against Japan, in the face of the Japanese army with good shooting skills, superior firepower and sufficient ammunition, and tenacious will to fight, the dense formation of the Eighth Route Army gained little and would lead to great casualties. The volunteers who faced the US army for the first time on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea still had the idea of fighting the US armed forces.

After experiencing high-intensity confrontation in World War II, the U.S. military was far superior to the national army in terms of the number of automatic firearms, ammunition, and the ability to organize a dense and continuous fire network. Due to the enemy's strong firepower and air superiority, the commanders often instinctively chose a smaller breakthrough point, and all this often caused the volunteers to expose the old problem of overly dense offensive formations to the greatest extent, and often had to bear a great price for victory.

"The enemy's offensive formation is dense and compact, in order to ensure the continuity of the attack, so we must not only pay attention to close combat, but also pay attention to striking the enemy's subsequent echelons. In terms of long-range firepower, our army has ballistas and rockets, which can carry out large-depth strikes, so that the enemy's multi-echelon attack formation will be comprehensively killed and injured in the course of engagement. Zhao Yu sorted out his thoughts, organized his language, and said concisely.

"Your Majesty means to carry out uninterrupted strikes on the enemy troops in the rear and weaken their strength, so that even if the enemy striker breaks through our city siege, and the follow-up reinforcements are weak, it will be difficult to expand the breakthrough and develop in depth with us." Zhuang Siqi pondered and said.

"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded and said, it seems that his expression ability is okay, and he can quickly understand his intentions, "While striking at the enemy's back, there is also the courage to concentrate firepower to hit the enemy at close range, the archers concentrate on shooting at the enemy, and the grenadiers throw bombs at the same time in the dense formation of the enemy, in order to kill the enemy at the greatest extent!" ”……
