Originally, the most effective weapon of the infantry in the Central Plains against the cavalry was the bow, which was also the reason why the Song Dynasty was equipped with the largest proportion of archers, but Duan Mingyu's department was equipped with a large number of crossbow bows, the bow was short, it was not easy to aim, and even more than ten times the crossbow would feel extremely tired, but the crossbow was far more than it

Duan Mingyu once marveled at the terrifying scene of ten thousand crossbows in the movie "Hero", and when he saw the power of the crossbow with his own eyes, he began to realize that this kind of scene was not unrealizable, and he could do it now

His soldiers were already good at riding shè, and they didn't even need special training, so they naturally knew the power of the crossbow, and when they first got the crossbow and practiced it, they already realized that their morale was incomparable

During this period of time, Duan Mingyu has been urging his own divine strategy, and the right army has been constantly acting, Duan Mingyu has just observed a combat exercise, and this combat exercise has also added a new tactic proposed by Duan Mingyu to the usual tactical drills of charging, breaking formations, and chopping the enemy: Napoleonic tactics

Of course, Duan Mingyu didn't give it this name, but he used Napoleonic tactics, in the case of a large group decisive battle, he used jīng sharp cavalry to squeeze the enemy, forcing its formation to shrink and become dense, and then used crossbows and mortars to carry out long-range strikes, after causing the opponent's formation to be extremely chaotic, the heavy cavalry broke the formation, the Mo knife hand swept the main force of the infantry, and swept the entire battlefield, Duan Mingyu was so shameless and shameless that he pirated Napoleon's patent, and even changed the name to others, and now this tactic is no longer called Napoleonic tactics, but Duan's tactics

Luo Hou Fang Wen was not by Duan Mingyu's side, and now the generals he had to use were the newly subdued Shang Rang and Ge Congzhou, these two people were experts in specific tactics, Duan Mingyu had been familiar with this tactic after their practice, and they also knew how powerful this tactic would be, if they obeyed Duan Mingyu, it was just because he had the courage to take in the two and his benevolent demeanor as a general, from this moment on, they really had a kind of awe for him

Duan Mingyu stood in front of the formation, saw with his own eyes the cooperation of the soldiers, and interpreted this tactic perfectly, and he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't know that he stole from Napoleon's tactic, but in fact, Napoleon stole from the Yongle Emperor, who was the Yongle Emperor, who used three thousand battalions of jīng sharp cavalry to squeeze the formation of the Mongolian cavalry, and then made the Shenji battalion use the tactic of three stage strikes in the front, and used firearms to pour, xìng strike, and the five swept Mobei invincible

The cavalry has taken the lead in withdrawing from the martial arts arena, and now it is the infantry team that cooperates with the battle, and they all retreated, and they all played the gadget of bangjiao, which made their speed much higher, which could ensure that the calf muscles were not easy to strain during long-distance marches, Duan Mingyu sat upright and waited for the infantry phalanx to withdraw from the martial arts arena, and turned to Shang Rang and smiled: " Okay, I thought that a few of you were fighting, although you were brave and trained soldiers, you may not be in the line, but I didn't expect that you were not only a fierce general, but also a good general, haha, this army has been trained by you, Luo Hou and Fang Wenchong are guarding the town of Chen and Song Erzhou, and you will send a few generals who are good at this tactic back to give them some advice."

"The Last General Commands"

At the beginning of June, 600,000 Shence troops swore to march south to Tian Lingzi, 60,000 troops in the middle army, 20,000 Ma Yang Fugong's left army, 20,000 Ma Duan Mingyu's right army, 20,000 horses, and the July army entered Shou Chūn City, and the army surrounded Shou Chūn City as soon as it arrived

For Duan Mingyu, since he arrived at Shouchūn City, there was Tian Lingzi's supervisor in the army, even if he wanted to perfunctory the past, the face project still had to be done, as soon as he returned to the camp, he beat the drum and gathered the generals to assign the siege task, and at the same time immediately dug trenches outside his camp, set up horses, The camp plate made a cloud ladder, and said that Duan Mingyu's department was not ready to fight as soon as he came up, and the other armies outside the city had just arrived, and many large siege equipment had not yet had time to be assembled, but Lao Tian's order was to start attacking the city tonight, and he undoubtedly expressed his ambition and impatience for Shou Chūn City

At night, in the middle of summer, a faint mist drifted up in the city, covering the huge city loomingly, and the stars could not be seen in the sky, and only the neighing of war horses could be heard in the haze of night, and the uniform trumpets of the soldiers when they were pushing the watchtowers, chariots and other equipment in front of the army, and the atmosphere was unusually depressing

Duan Mingyu's department mainly took the defensive position to guard against the soldiers and horses of Shou Chūn City, and used their seemingly weakest link as a breakthrough to counterattack, their siege equipment was too few, and this was also a last resort, and the reason was reasonable, but the imperial court had made full preparations in advance for the southern expedition, and the craftsmen of the imperial court army were rushing to make siege equipment at night, and it may not take a few rì to have sufficient siege equipment to supplement their army, but it depends on how long this battle Shou Chūn City can support

Although he knew that his department was not in charge of the main attack task tonight, Ge Congzhou, who had taken on this task for the first time, was still very nervous, and the night was deep, and his monk asked him to stand in front of the Chinese army, looking at the city of Shou Chūn, which was standing quietly, and listening to the sound of the armies nervously preparing for the siege in the silent atmosphere, his heart jumped involuntarily

In the Chinese military tent, Duan Mingyu combed the feathers of the carrier pigeon, and then handed it to Wang Aiqing, who immediately took the carrier pigeon, and when he walked outside the tent, his arm was raised, and the carrier pigeon disappeared into the vast night, and no one noticed its coming

Wang Aiqing hurriedly returned to the tent, and saw Duan Mingyu thoughtfully holding the handsome case, and his face was not without condensation, Wang Aiqing couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh......" Duan Mingyu sobered up, smiled and suppressed his apprehension: "Do you think that Qin Zongquan of our southern expedition to Caizhou will also stab us in the back?"

"What" Wang Aiqing said happily: "My lord, didn't you say that as soon as Qin Zongquan leaves Caizhou, there will be Fang Wenchong and Luo Hou waiting for them, my lord is really clever, he left the nest this time, but he fell into the adult's plan"
