In later generations of China, everyone in the world knows Qi Jiguang, but many people don't know that in the era of Qi Jiguang, there was also a Yu Dayou, whose achievements in resisting the Japanese were no less than Qi Jiguang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Moreover, the ability to lead the troops is not lower than Qi Jiguang.

At that time, people called the two "Yu Long Qi Hu". The dragon is obviously stronger than the tiger, so the people at that time had a higher evaluation of Yu Dayou than Qi Jiguang.

Yu Dayou is strong in martial arts, not to mention invincible opponents all over the world at that time, he can be regarded as a top master. Even, the flat dan fist spread in Quanzhou South Shaolin comes from Yu Dayou's "Sword Classic". Of course, this "Sword Sutra" is actually the Shaolin stick method. When Yu Dayou was fighting against the Japanese in Quanzhou, he passed this stick method to Southern Shaolin by the way. During the Manchu Dynasty, the Southern Shaolin monks passed the "Sword Sutra" to the villagers. Because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "ban on martial arts", the villagers were not allowed to carry sticks in public, and when they were fine, they simply used flat poles to practice this kind of stick method. Later, the "flat dan fist" was developed. Later, "The Book of Swords" was also compiled by Qi Jiguang into the "New Book of Ji Xiao", which was introduced in detail.

However, although Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are both famous anti-Japanese generals, their fates are completely different. Yu Dayou has a straightforward temperament and does not know how to be flexible, but he was suspicious and excluded and suppressed by the imperial court.

Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, is more cunning. Qi Jiguang took refuge in Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and sent a large number of rare treasures to Zhang Juzheng every year. Then, Qi Jiguang was sheltered by Zhang Juzheng, and his official fortune was prosperous, and he rose all the way. Of course, after Zhang Juzheng's death, when Emperor Wanli began to liquidate Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang was also unlucky. However, before that, the old relatives had been in the limelight for a long time.

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's training strategies are completely different. Yu Dayou likes to even elite soldiers, the kind with high martial arts. Then, in wartime, send elite troops to assault and break the enemy's army.

Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, is more inclined to train a large corps with strict discipline and orders and prohibitions. He believes that the power of the individual is limited, but the power of the collective is powerful. Yu Dayou's method of training elite soldiers took too long, and it took ten or eight years to achieve results. And relying on strict discipline, it only takes a few months to train an ordinary army that is forbidden by order. Moreover, if there is loss, it is easy to replenish. And elite soldiers like Yu Dayou, although their combat effectiveness is strong, it is too difficult to replenish. If you lose all your elite in World War I, you may be out of luck. As for Qi Jiguang's training method, no matter how big the losses are, as long as a group of honest peasants are selected and trained for a few months, their combat effectiveness will be restored again.

Later, history proved that Qi Jiguang's thinking was correct. But Yu Dayou's approach is easier to shine. Because, the civilian officials don't understand military affairs, and seeing that Yu Dayou's elite soldiers are so strong, they naturally think that Yu Dayou is stronger than Qi Jiguang. Then, there was the saying "Yu Long Qi Hu".

Of course, Qi Jiguang, as a junior, also learned many things from Yu Dayou. For example, Yu Dayou's "Sword Sutra" was highly respected by Qi Jiguang, and it was also compiled into the "New Book of Ji Xiao", which was also promoted in the army.

Even, on the issue of the chariot array, Qi Jiguang also copied Yu Dayou, and then made improvements.

Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow chariot is very simple, that is, in front of the wheelbarrow, put three or four sharp spearheads. During the battle, the wheelbarrows were sent to the front of the battle, and each was next to each other. The two brackets behind the wheelbarrow are inserted into the soil to fix them.

The wheelbarrow chariot was specially designed to block the Mongolian cavalry from charging after Yu Dayou was unjustly imprisoned in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558) and was released after being unjustly imprisoned.

Yu Dayou found that the Ming infantry fought with the Mongol cavalry, and they were most afraid of being broken into the battle by the Mongol cavalry. Because, that would lead to the collapse of the whole army. Next, let the Mongol cavalry cut and kill.

So, according to the method of the car camp of the famous military strategist Zeng Mill, who died unjustly, Yu Dayou created a wheelbarrow. It was to insert three or four spearheads in front of the wheelbarrow to block the onslaught of the Mongol cavalry. If the Mongolian cavalry dared to collide, they would be directly stabbed through by three or four spearheads in front of the car. The two brackets at the back of the wheelbarrow are deeply rooted in the soil, so that the wheelbarrow will not be loaded. In this way, the Mongolian cavalry who rushed up first would be stabbed to death in front of the car, and the cavalry, after falling off the horse, would also be killed by the Ming army. The Mongol cavalry that rushed up from behind could only bump into the corpse of the first war horse and could not advance.

In this way, it was impossible for the Mongolian cavalry to break into the infantry formation of the Ming army, and they could only stop, otherwise they would be knocked over by their own people. And the main force of the infantry of the Ming army will not be defeated because the battle array is crushed.

At the same time, the Ming infantry, hiding behind the wheelbarrow array, kept firing with muskets and bows and arrows, killing and wounding a large number of Mongol cavalry. Then, the Ming cavalry, waiting until the Mongol cavalry was hindered by the wheelbarrow array, would also rush out from the flank and attack the flank of the Mongol cavalry, which had lost its speed.

By blocking the enemy through wheelbarrows, musketeers and archers kept shooting, and finally sent Ming cavalry to attack the Mongol cavalry who lost their speed after being forced to stop, this set of tactics, Datong Town defeated the invading Mongol cavalry many times. Then, Yu Dayou was naturally exonerated.

The reason why Yu Dayou chose to use a wheelbarrow as a chariot to block the enemy, rather than using a large number of vans like Zeng Miao, was due to cost considerations. Zeng Milling was a squire of the military department and a governor of the three sides before, so he naturally had the ability to call a large number of vans. And Yu Dayou in Datong Town is just a criminal who has made meritorious contributions, so naturally he cannot have the ability to mobilize a large number of vans.

Therefore, Yu Dayou used the cheapest wheelbarrow, and installed a few spearheads in front of the wheelbarrow, which became a chariot to block the enemy, cheap and practical.

Later, when Qi Jiguang was ordered to guard Jibei, he was inspired by Yu Dayou and also used a chariot formation to fight the Mongolian cavalry. However, on the basis of Yu Dayou and Zeng Milling, Qi Jiguang made improvements and made a partial van. It's a chariot with a wall on one side and no on the other.

When encountering the enemy, the side of the van with the wall was facing the enemy, and the soldiers shot the Mongol cavalry with muskets and bows through the firing ports on the wall.

The van was huge, and the Mongol cavalry obviously couldn't rush through. Moreover, if the archery strikes the Ming army, the bow and arrow are also blocked by the board wall. The Ming army, on the other hand, was able to calmly shoot the Mongol cavalry through the shooting holes in the board wall. Even, because of the huge side van, Qi Jiguang also moved the tiger squat cannon onto the side box car and shot the Mongolian cavalry.

Relying on this kind of car formation, when Qi Jiguang was sitting in Jibei, he killed the Mongolian cavalry and did not dare to approach......

Ma Lin had analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of chariots in his previous life, and found that in terms of combat effect, it was natural that Qi Jiguang's partial van had stronger combat effectiveness and higher protection.

However, the partial van is not without its drawbacks. The main problem was that the side vans were too bulky and not conducive to marching. And Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow, although not as protective as the partial van, is lightweight, flexible, and convenient for marching. If the army marches quickly, the wheelbarrow can keep up. If you change to a partial van, you can only follow the baggage troops slowly.

Moreover, if you suddenly encounter enemy cavalry, the wheelbarrow can be deployed faster, and you can stop the enemy by inserting two brackets into the soil and fixing the hull. On the other hand, it takes time to untie the horses pulling the carriage first, and then the side of the carriage is lined up, facing the enemy, which is more delayed.

And, most importantly, in Europe, apart from the Tatars of Eastern Europe, there were no formed archers in Western Europe. Therefore, there was no need to use a side van to block the bow and arrow fire of the enemy cavalry.

Because, the Western European cavalry and the Arab cavalry are both melee cavalry. As long as Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow is sacrificed, it is enough to block the opponent's charge.

Taking a step back, even if the enemy army had archers and a large number of musketeers in Marin's phalanx, they would not be left behind in the fire......

Thinking of this, Ma Lin decided to equip his army with a large number of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrows......

The reason for this decision was that Marin thought of the shortcomings of the Spanish phalanx - the lack of offensive ability......

Marin's phalanx, because two deep trenches were dug around the phalanx. Although it blocked the advance of the enemy's army, at the same time, it also hindered the offensive line of its own army.

Therefore, Marin's phalanx can only be used for defensive battles, which is not conducive to offense.

However, if you change the digging of deep trenches to the use of Yu Dayou's chariot, it will be very different......

When the enemy attacked, the two hind foot supports of the wheelbarrow were deeply embedded in the earth. However, if the enemy is defeated and flees, the soldier on the cart can pull the hind foot support out of the soil and then push the cart in pursuit of the enemy. If the enemy fights back, then stick the hind foot bracket into the soil to fight a defensive counterattack......

In this way, Marin's army will have a big level of movement ability, and it will no longer be able to stand there and defend passively, but also have the ability to pursue the enemy.

Moreover, the wheelbarrow is not only lightweight, but also can put some military equipment on it. For example, you can put some horse rejection and horse nails. Once the number of enemy cavalry is too large, the soldier pushing the cart can throw the horse and horse nails on the cart in front of the cart to block the charge of the enemy cavalry. Whether it is a horse full of nails, or a horse nail that specializes in tying horses' hooves, it will become a nightmare for enemy cavalry......

Of course, this trick will only be used if there are too many enemy cavalry. Otherwise, scattering so many vicious nails will not only affect the enemy's charge, but also affect the pursuit of your own army. If a person's foot steps on a horse nail, it is called a sour ......
