Chapter 125: Learning from Others
Wan Yancheng said with a smile, but he didn't mention what would happen if he fought on a horse, but instead diverted the conversation and asked: "Old Xiong, do you know that when Meng Yuan was in the past, there was a condor shooter?" Among you Han people, there is also a legend of General Fei? And that mangu or something, you've always heard of it, right? ”
Xiong Sen scolded with a smile: "Don't bully me Lao Xiong for reading less!" Of course General Fei knows, I seem to have heard of the Condor Shooter, but I don't remember it clearly. And what is Mangugu? Tell me, what's going on? ”
Wanyan said: "A pair of arms of the condor shooter are worth ten thousand gold!" On the grassland, even if the condor shooter was captured, no tribal leader was willing to kill, even if he could not surrender, he would wait for the other tribe to redeem it at a high price of 10,000 gold. As for the Mangus?"
Before Yan Cheng finished speaking, Xiong Sen exclaimed: "Fuck! These arms are really worth a lot! I said that after getting old, let's go up to Jiannu another day to get an eagle archer and unload his arms, wouldn't we be going to get rich? ”
Wan Yancheng said with black lines on his face: "The unloaded arm is worthless!" But the Ming Emperor might like it, right? ”
Xiong Sen said with a smile: "Of course Lao Tzu knows that the unloaded arms are worthless, but whether it is to dedicate the complete Condor Shooter to the Son of Heaven as a slave, or to unload the arms of the Condor Shooter, the Son of Heaven will definitely be happy, and the reward for you and me will be indispensable at that time." ”
Wan Yancheng was speechless, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't interject, listen to me." ”
Seeing that Xiong Sen no longer spoke, Wan Yan Chengcai continued: "This archery, everyone can shoot arrows, but the condor shooter can shoot down the eagle in the sky, and your flying general can shoot arrows into the stones, I also admire it very much." It can be seen that there is no difference between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty in this archery, but you still can't beat Jiannu in the cavalry, have you thought about why not? ”
When Xiong Sen heard this, he said in his heart, what level of Lao Tzu have you not seen, and asked knowingly, didn't you deliberately slap Lao Tzu in the face? At the moment, he said: "My old bear is just a brocade guard, how can I think about it so much?" ”
Wan Yancheng said: "Since this bow and arrow are similar, then there are only two possible reasons." One is the reason for people, and the other is the reason for the method of war. ”
Xiong Sen said: "Where do I understand this, do you still understand this?" Tell me about it. ”
Wan Yancheng said disdainfully: "You are a person of the Ming Dynasty, but you don't know as much as a barbarian on the grassland, shame on you?" ”
Xiong Sen said triumphantly: "Who are you missing?" If you don't understand, you can learn. Let's talk about it. ”
Wan Yan said: "Think about it, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you also swept the border many times, right?" How invincible was Meng Yuan at the beginning, wasn't he defeated by you? ”
Xiong Sen said happily: "Yes, what kind of thing is Meng Yuan, he was beaten like a dog by my Daming." ”
Wan Yan Cheng said: "Now you beat them into dogs, I'll take a look." ”
Xiong Sen, who was being proud, couldn't get up proudly, and hung his head and said, "Damn, I can't beat it now." After speaking, he lifted his spirits and said: "But it doesn't matter, you are very good on the horse, so I will ask you for advice?" I won't interject, you go on. ”
Wan Yancheng ignored Xiong Sen's dog-legged appearance and said: "Anyway, I don't know why, your current tactics are obviously not as good as those of Jiannu, and you are all farming, unlike Jiannu and our Xibe people, most of them have to hunt and graze, and they have grown up on horseback since they were children. As I said earlier, on the ground, those people can easily kill me, but if it's on horseback, as long as you don't use firearms or anything, then with the same number or as long as there is not much difference, those people just now can easily be killed by me. ”
Xiong Sen knew that what Wan Yancheng said was the truth, but losing people would not lose face, so he said stiffly: "Okay, good, I know that you are angry, why don't you go to heaven if you are angry." Hurry up and talk about it, don't talk about these useless things. ”
Wan Yancheng was completely defeated by Xiong Sen's shamelessness, and said helplessly: "It's simple, one is to strengthen training, and the other is to use more new tactics." ”
Xiong Sen was also helpless, and asked, "What about training, what new tactics?" ”
Wan Yan Chengdao: "Strengthen training, in fact, I don't understand, anyway, we have been riding horses since we were children, and if we want to hunt, we have to shoot arrows on horses, and we will slowly practice it." As for the tactics of war, to put it bluntly, there is nothing new. Meng Yuan's set of tactics is very useful, what kind of mangu gangsters, it is enough to deal with Jiannu. The pursuers we encountered last time were actually considered strong in Jiannu, but they were still dealt with? ”
Speaking of this, Wan Yancheng swallowed and foamed, and then said: "Speaking of this, I have to say that you guys are really yin damage. First the firebolt, then the crossbow, and finally the knife, if we Xibe had these guys you equipped, the Jiannu would have been gone long ago. ”
Xiong Sen didn't care about these equipment or anything, anyway, there were people above who were worried about it, there were good guys, and his own brocade guards were the first to be equipped, but he was very interested in the Mangu Gu that Wan Yan Cheng repeatedly mentioned in his mouth, after all, he didn't understand this thing, so he asked Wan Yan Chengdao: "What is the situation of this Mangu Gangu, you tell me." ”
Wan Yancheng was almost annoyed by Xiong Sen, and said helplessly: "Big brother, you are really my eldest brother, this thing must be recorded in your book." Meng Yuan is particularly good at playing this trick. To put it bluntly, it is to send people to rush to the enemy's side, and a rain of arrows will run directly, leading the enemy to chase, and turning around to shoot arrows while running, causing the opponent's formation to collapse, and you are not at your disposal? ”
Xiong Sen was like a treasure, and said happily: "Reliable, reliable, let's get drunk in the fairy building for a while, and then talk about it." ”
Xiong Sen's words that were finally come out, including these tactics or something, were sent to Chongzhen's desk, in exchange for a reward from Emperor Chongzhen, and a sentence "Strengthen training, military discipline first." Good students learn, and break the slave early. ”
In fact, Chongzhen was not very interested in these things at first. In his opinion, queuing up to shoot is the king, and the cavalry will have to withdraw from the stage of history sooner or later, and now Daming's flintlock rifle is striding forward under the auspices of Xu Guangqi and that Grandpa Bi, and it is estimated that it is not far from the exclusion of shooting in his heart.
It wasn't until Cui Chengxiu and Zhang Weixian, the British public who was edicted into the palace, explained many times that Chongzhen realized how valuable these things Xiong Sen asked.
