"Let my soldiers experience how to fight on a real battlefield!?" When Wang Zuohang heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask the general, but is there any military task for the lowly to take people to complete?" ”

"No, we don't suppress bandits, we don't fight thieves, we don't kill Mongolians." Liu Renyu smiled.

"Then dare to ask the general, if you don't fight, how can the lowly soldiers be trained?" Wang Zuohang became more and more puzzled.

"Yes, general, if you don't fight, how can you train soldiers?" Zhang Tieniu also asked suspiciously.

"It's not that hard to hear!" Liu Renyu smiled slightly and continued: "I'm going to give our firecrackers a simulated military exercise. ”

Simulated military exercises!?

When all the generals heard this new word, they all looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what this 'simulated military exercise' meant.

So Wang Zuohang opened his mouth and asked: "Humble and stupid, what does the simulated military exercise of the unknown general refer to?" Please tell me to wait? ”

"Please also ask the general to clear up his doubts!" All the generals also bowed and saluted, wanting to ask for advice.

"Simulated military exercises, but that's what it means. Hang left, you take your subordinates out, I arranged for Renjie and Tie Niu to take their cavalry to pretend to be Mongols, and make a surprise attack on your subordinates, and your subordinates did not know it, and thought that the Mongols were really coming, so they fought hard. At this time, we will hide in the shadows and see if your subordinates are reasonable and follow orders. How, left-hanging, do you see what I mean? Liu Renyu asked.

"Oh, I see! Humble duty understood. Wang Zuojiao first made an expression of sudden realization, and then said in confusion: "Dare to ask the general, the sword has no eyes, and the fire is ruthless, if Liu Qianzong and Zhang Qianzong's subordinates are killed and injured by our army, wouldn't it consume our army's military strength in vain?" ”

Wang Zuojiao thought that he was a newcomer, and his status could not be compared with Zhang Tieniu and Liu Renjie, if he accidentally killed these two generals and a few soldiers, God knows if these two generals would take the opportunity to pinch themselves, so he must ask if this exercise is going to be real.

"Hey, you are all elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time, how can I be willing to let the soldiers die in vain, don't worry, I will ask the logistics department to replace all your bullets with fake ones in advance, that is, fake bullets made of black clay. In this way, when the firecrackers let go, they would not hurt Renjie and the Iron Bull's soldiers. Liu Renyu explained.

"Did the archers under Mr. Zhang Qian also use fake arrows?" Wang Zuohang asked.

"Iron Bull's soldiers all use real bows and arrows." Liu Renyu replied.

"In this case, isn't it inevitable that our army will have casualties!?" Wang Zuohang's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

"Don't be excited, my soldiers and horses are all wearing heavy armor, and your men and horses are wearing heavy armor, why are you afraid of bows and arrows? If you think about it, the current configuration of your troops and the whole army is the same, they are all wearing a total of three layers of heavy armor, such as chain mail, mountain armor, cotton armor, etc., and there are helmets, neck guards, and face armor. How can an ordinary bow and arrow penetrate? I will not let Iron Bull's men use heavy arrows, nor will I let them use a tiger bow with a bow that is more powerful than two stones, so you need not be afraid. Liu Renyu said with relief.

"Dare to ask if Liu Qian's cavalry will really cut down our army?" Wang Zuo asked again.

"The Iron Bull Department will release arrows from a distance, and the Renjie Department will feign a charge, and when they rush in front of your army, they will stop." Liu Renyu replied.

"If the soldiers of our army are fired, and none of the soldiers of Liu Qian's headquarters fall off their horses, or do not fall, how can our infantry soldiers not be confused?" Wang Zuohang asked.

"It's a clay projectile, if it hits a person, it will also have a certain impact, as long as the soldiers of Renjie's department are hit, they will fall off their horses or fall to the ground, and they must always play a full set of acts." Liu Renyu smiled.

"The general's plan is wonderful! Left hanging is very admirable. ”

Wang Zuohang's doubts were gone, and he didn't forget to sigh.

"In this simulated military exercise, my intention is to observe whether the firecrackers are timid in the battle and do not obey the orders and shoot the firecrackers, or those who see the enemy suddenly coming, panic in their hearts, do not listen to the orders, and retreat without authorization, once these soldiers appear, they will be killed immediately, and their families will also be expelled from Jingbian Fort. Left hanging, can you write it down? When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly said solemnly.

"Yes, General, the humble duty has been written." Wang Zuo replied with his hand in his hand.

"Dare to ask the general, what kind of tactics should be used by our department and Zhang Qian's headquarters to pretend to be Mongolian cavalry?" Liu Renjie asked.

"The enemy that my firecrackers are about to face is Jiannu, so I should use Jiannu's tactics." Liu Renyu replied.

"Dare to ask the general, what kind of tactics is Jiannu?" Liu Renjie asked again.

"Do you remember the Jiannu Bayala elite soldiers we met earlier, what kind of tactics did they have?" Liu Renyu asked rhetorically.

"That guy Jiannu rode his horse and galloped to a distance of forty or fifty paces from our army, and separated to the left and right, trying to induce our army to let go. When this plan failed, he rode his horse and attacked again, but he was ambushed by our army, so he fought with our army and was killed and wounded by our army. Yang Desheng was the first to reply.

"Desheng is right, the last time we fought with the Bayala elite soldiers, they looked down on us, so they fell in love with our way. We went to Liaodong, we will meet more than the Bayala elite soldiers, the soldiers on the Jiannu side are divided into four kinds, the most powerful you have seen, it is Bayala, that is the elite of the elite, generally used for attacking fortifications and sentinels, the last time we met was the sentinels.

The second type is the regular main force, called the armored man, which is divided into armor and vest, armor, armor infantry, horse armor, armor horse army, this part deals with the general enemy army.

The third type is the Mongolian Horqin cavalry incorporated by Jiannu, which is a light cavalry, generally wearing only leather armor, and is used for pursuit and killing after the enemy's army is dispersed. The fourth type is called Aha or pawn, which is used by our Han or North Koreans, and is generally used as an auxiliary.

Jiannu's tactics are also divided into two kinds, if it is a chance encounter in the field, my Ming soldiers did not have time to set up a horse rejection and thistle, Jiannu will send the first cavalry to feign a charge, induce my Ming soldiers to release guns, my Ming soldiers are responsible for chasing and covering killing.

Second, if my Ming soldiers are arranged to reject horses, iron thistles, Jiannu can not impact my Ming army formation, then send hoplites, dismount and fight, this Jiannu hoplites are not afraid of the bows and arrows of my heavenly soldiers, even if they are shot by the fire to kill a few people, they will not pay attention, they will go straight forward, remove the iron thistles, move away from the horses, and impact my Ming soldiers.

At the same time, the second group of lightly armored Jiannu cavalry will keep firing arrows and shoot our heavenly soldiers. Most of my Ming Heavenly Soldiers' combat strength is far inferior to that of Jiannu, generally speaking, they will quickly collapse because of heavy casualties, and at this time, the Mongolian leather cavalry that has been dormant will launch a charge and annihilate our Great Tomorrow soldiers. Liu Renyu told the story and gave a brief introduction to Jiannu's tactics.

"I see!" The generals nodded their heads in response.

"Dare to ask the general, how should I fight with Renjie in this exercise?" Zhang Tieniu asked with interest.

"This exercise, according to the setting, is naturally a chance encounter on the road. In this way, we will use the first method of warfare that we just mentioned, the cavalry of Renjie's department is responsible for the impact, induce the soldiers of the left hanging department to release their guns, and then the iron bull department to release arrows, these two things are done, and finally there is a wave of charge, and when you rush to the front of the soldiers of the left hanging department, you will stop the horses, and the exercise will be over. Liu Renyu replied.

"General, I don't think there's much need to practice, because the last time I fought with the Jiannu Bayala elite soldiers with the firecrackers, the Jiannu charged, and no one under my command released the firecrackers in advance." When Li Jiye arrived at this time, he suddenly made a suggestion.

"Jiye, at that time, there were only a dozen Jiannu people, so where can the soldiers under your command be afraid? Later, when I went to Liaodong, Jiannu rushed up but there were hundreds of thousands, and most of the soldiers in the left hanging station were originally border soldiers, knowing the prestige of Jiannu, how could I not be afraid, if it collapsed under the impact of Jiannu, it would have an impact on the morale of our army. So now, I'm going to conduct a drill to get the soldiers of the Left Hanging Station to get used to the atmosphere of the battlefield. Do you think I have any point? Liu Renyu asked Li Jiye.

Li Jiye thought for a while, and then nodded and said, "What the general said is very true. ”

"Okay, gentlemen, please keep the matter of this simulated military exercise secret, don't leak it out, if anyone accidentally says that it leaks, resulting in my exercise not being able to go on normally, no matter who said it, I have a way to find out, so please be sure to control your mouth and don't talk nonsense, okay?" Liu Renyu smiled slightly, and said with a knife hidden in his smile.

When the generals saw such a scene, their hearts couldn't help but tense for a while, and Chen Danqing's unsmiling face vaguely appeared in their minds, so they each bowed solemnly and said, "Remember the humble rank." ”

"Very good, this exercise will be held the day after tomorrow, and there will naturally be a military order for you at that time."

"Yes, General."

"Jiye, I'll hand over the chariot to you, you have to do more drills according to my requirements, can you hear clearly?"

"It's clear to hear the lowly position." Li Jiye replied.

"Very good, Renjie, Tie Niu, Left Hang, all get ready, listen to my military orders to conduct exercises."

"Yes, General." Liu Renjie, Zhang Tieniu and Wang Zuohang each responded.
