Sun Dayong hurriedly bowed down and said, "What the adults have taught is this." ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I'm not teaching you, but as a general of the Luoyan Army, if you don't have confidence in your own soldiers and horses, how can you fight?" Of course, confidence doesn't necessarily lead to victory, and I never think that confidence and courage are the only thing that determines victory, but it is definitely the first factor. On this basis, we can talk about such things as equipment tactics. No matter how well-equipped the soldiers and horses are, if they don't have the courage of the army, they will be in the air, and they will be defeated with one blow. If you look at the battle between the Jurchens and the Liao, this is an example. The equipment of the Liao people is not unsophisticated compared to that of the Jurchens, but what is the result? ”

Everyone nodded, Lord Lin is not a retreating person, he is actually the person who pays the most attention to the equipment and tactics of the Luoyan Army. From everything he built for the Falling Goose Army, it can be seen that it is as big as a swarm of firearms, armor and blades; From the dry food and medicines he carried, to the design of the diagonal strap of the backpack he wore, he devoted himself to it. It can be seen that he is not the kind of person who only shouts slogans. But Lord Lin has always emphasized one thing, that is, in addition to equipment, the courage to fight to the death without fear of a strong enemy, and the confidence to dare to win in the face of a strong enemy. Lin Jue called them all the 'military souls'. An army that has lost its soul will never be able to defeat its opponent.

"It's good that you guys are discussing which is stronger or weaker after what happened to my Luoyan army and the Jurchens. Soldiers should be competitive, and when they encounter opponents, they should make comparisons and consider their weaknesses and strengths. Because no one knows if we will meet on the battlefield in the future. As for the matter of my Luo Yanjun and the Jurchens fighting, I have a few opinions, which we can discuss together. Lin Jue softened his tone and smiled.

Sun Dayong and the others hurriedly arched their hands and said, "I would like to listen to the opinions of the adults." ”

Lin Jue nodded, picked up a piece of baked compressed sugar cake, took a small bite and chewed it, pondered for a moment, and said, "In today's battle, we have to admit that the Jurchens are indeed very powerful. Even I was impressed by the Jurchens. As far as I know, the Jurchen tribe lives near the left side of Changbai Mountain, and it is actually very poor and difficult to survive. But it is precisely because of the harsh environment that these brave Jurchen warriors have been created. You have all seen their tactics, they are beast-like tactics, and they will never stop without putting their opponents to death. This not only shows the courage of the Jurchens in battle, but also has a great psychological deterrent to the opponent. People fight against people, you know that the other person is also human, and he also has a heart of fear. But as opponents of the Jurchens, you get the impression that they are just a bunch of beasts. What can you do in the face of a horde of fearless beasts? ”

When armies fight, often the defeated side is defeated because of the collapse of will. Historically, when a large army fights, the losing side is by no means the last man, but when the casualties of one's own side reach a critical point, a psychological upheaval will occur. Under the control of fear, the result is to flee in fear of the enemy. People are all in the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and some people are indeed determined to see death as home, but how many such people can be in a soldier? When your opponent is a bunch of fearless beasts who have no fear of death at all, it is impossible to defeat your opponent from the level of will. The only thing that can be done is to kill them all, or be killed by them. In this case, you are often the one who cannot hold out, because you will feel that it is simply not okay to fight a group of lifeless beasts without fear

The things that can win, you will first break down psychologically. That's what Lin Jue meant.

"In terms of combat skills, in fact, the Jurchens are not very powerful. The technique of the maniscal meniscus is amazing, but compared to our repeater, it is not a big deal. There's no need for anything other than dazzling. The primary purpose of an army is to defeat the opponent with simple and direct tactics and weapons. It's like fighting, I can knock you down with one punch, why bother to make a detour and make a fancy one? Just one punch to the point. Of course, the Jurchens did not deliberately show off their skills, and the method of throwing the whirling knife may be the easiest and most direct method they thought was the most straightforward. And we think the easiest and most effective way is to kill your opponent with a single shot, or shoot them with a bolt of arrows. So, it's not worth being amazed by their whirlwind knives and how powerful they are. Lin Jue continued.

Sun Dayong nodded and said, "What the adults said is extremely true, and the subordinates of Shicai are still thinking that this method of throwing blades is a bit stupid. The only weapon on the Jurchen's body is the meniscus knife, if this meniscus knife can't be recovered after throwing, wouldn't it be a bare hand? No matter how good these people are, they won't miss a beat. If they fight us, we can use rope nets to block the whirling blades, and if they dare to play this kind of trick in front of us, they will all be reduced to lambs to the slaughter with their bare hands. ”

Lin Jue laughed: "Interesting, this idea is interesting, I think it's interesting." If you fight against the Jurchens, the Jurchens throw their swords, and then they will be bare-handed. Aren't they all embarrassed and looking at each other? They still have a fart without weapons? ”

Everyone laughed when they imagined that picture.

"Isn't that a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return?" One of the guards shouted.

Everyone was stunned, and Sun Dayong reprimanded: "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense, do you mean that our Luoyan Army is all dogs?" ”

The guard blushed and stammered an explanation. The crowd burst into laughter.

Lin Jue smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, this is just a joke." The Jurchens would not be so stupid. Don't you see that once the enemy has fled, they will hunt him down in this way? They don't do that in real combat. Don't think that the Jurchens have no brains, it is absolutely not allowed to despise the opponent, and how many people die from the underestimation of the enemy. Moreover, the Jurchens are not only not brainless, on the contrary, it can be seen from this battle that they have quite high military qualities. Judging from the means of their feints to attack the ferry and set up ambushes and snipe the enemy, Wanyan Aguda is well versed in the way of using troops. Moreover, I now admire their methods of hiding all the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the grassland without revealing any flaws. Wanyan Aguda's approach reminded me. Maybe I should also find a way to make camouflage uniforms and something like that, so that the soldiers and horses can be hidden. ”

"Camouflage uniforms? What is that? Sun Dayong said in amazement.

Lin Jue hurriedly smiled: "This ...... I can't explain it to you for a while, and I won't talk about it. The fact that the entire Jurchen army was able to hide on the grassland shows their ability to hide and set up ambushes. It also reminds us that if we were to fight the Jurchens, we must have insight into their hidden abilities. Otherwise, I don't know if I fall into its ambush. ”

"That's true. The Jurchens' ability in this regard is indeed admirable. None of them had been found before. If it weren't for us

Not on the battlefield, otherwise we would all have mistaken their ambush and not know it. Sun Dayong nodded again and again.

Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, fortunately, we are cautious, otherwise it will be very bad to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Jurchens." ”

"It's not just bad, it's terrible." Gao Muqing said with a smile on the side.

Lin Jue coughed and said, "So, based on the above, I have a few opinions about the Jurchens. They are indeed a strong soldier and horse, they are not afraid of life and death, they fight fiercely, as fierce as tigers and wolves, but also as flexible as apes. They are good at hiding themselves, taking them by surprise, and moving secretly. Moreover, it can be seen that Wanyan Agu is good at using military tactics, and he is by no means the kind of imaginary barbarians who will only blindly rush to kill and have no brains. The Jurchens were able to have today's situation, not because of luck, but because they really had their strength. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and was silent. Lin Jue continued: "However, the Jurchens also have their obvious weaknesses. Last night's battle revealed the singular and irrational side of their tactics. They are clearly accustomed to hand-to-hand combat and are not good at long-range strikes. In fact, an army with a single tactic can easily be caught in the weak underbelly. The Liao's firepower is not strong enough, so the Jurchens broke through the formation last night, if I fall into the Yan army, the Jurchens are afraid that it will not be so easy to break through our formation. Our repeaters and firearms will cost them dearly, and let them know what a truly devastating blow is. It's not that the Jurchens don't have to be afraid, they are also human beings, and there is no such thing as not having a heart without fear. It's just that they have more endurance and tenacity than the others. The limits they can tolerate are much higher than others. I'm curious if the Jurchens can maintain their patience and tenacity under the blow of a swarm of rocket launchers from my Fallen Goose Army. If I had the chance, I would have seen the results with my own eyes. ”

After listening to Lin Jue's analysis, the fog in their hearts suddenly disappeared. Lord Lin sometimes speaks in a foggy way, and sometimes he sees the sun in the clouds. After Lord Lin said this, he suddenly felt that the Jurchens were no more than Erer, and some of his previous thoughts were just rare and strange.

"In my opinion, the most terrifying thing about the Jurchen army is not the army itself, but the person of Wanyan Aguda. Today's battle proved that he was a good leader, with a clear mind and excellent strategy. The Jurchens became so terrible because of him as their leader. The Liao people are afraid that they are in trouble. With this defeat tonight, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed, and I estimate that the Liao army that crossed the river will also stop crossing the river. I'm afraid they won't dare to provoke the Jurchens again. After this defeat, the Liao people suffered a great loss of vitality. The soldiers and horses in the south were pinned down by the Great Zhou, and I am afraid that no reinforcements will arrive, and at this moment, all the soldiers and horses in the Zhongjing Province may be difficult to compete with the Jurchens. I don't know what Yelu Zongyuan will do? Today's battle must be bad news for Yelu Zongyuan. Lin Jue took a bite of the sugar cake and chewed it slowly.

Sun Dayong said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, after this battle, all the Liao troops in Zhongjing Province will not be the opponents of the Jurchens?" In terms of quantity, there are 300,000 horses in Zhongjing Province combined. Is it really powerless? ”

Lin Jue looked at Sun Dayong and shook his head slowly: "Brother Sun, do you know what a plate of loose sand is?" Do you know what a frightened bird is? As soon as the Jurchens attacked, they destroyed the main cavalry of the 120,000 Liao army, and who else dared to fight head-on. ”
