Zhang Xian thought that when he studied military history at the military academy, he had specialized in the study of Mongolian cavalry operations, coupled with Wang Fu's on-site explanation recently, Zhang Xian's understanding of the Mongolian Tatar cavalry became more three-dimensional, and he had begun to plan the strategic policy of fighting with the Tatar cavalry in the future, Zhang Xian looked at Wang Fu with a serious face and said:

"Wang Jiaotou, what you said is very good, these things are all lessons from blood and fire, you said a lot of advantages of the Tartar cavalry, this officer wants to know now, according to your opinion, if my Great Song army wants to completely defeat the Tartar army, how to break the enemy?"

When Wang Fu saw Zhang Xian asking himself, he looked indifferent, and drank the sour plum soup unhurriedly, Wang Fu knew that the young master in front of him was by no means a mediocre person, since he was so calm, he must have his own thoughts, Wang Fu said:

"If the old man's guess is right, the adult should be thinking of a strategy to break the enemy, right? Even if it's not a strategy to break the enemy, at least there should be a way to deal with the Tartars! Above the old man's court, he has also seen those high-ranking officials and important ministers, who either heard that the Tartar cavalry was so powerful, either advocated avoiding the battle, or urged him to escape, or even cut the land to seek peace, and was in a corner of peace. There are also some loyal ministers, but the proposed strategy to resist the enemy is really making people cry and laugh, and even the military order changes three times a day, the following generals are at a loss, it is rare to meet an official like an adult, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and was not shocked, this can only be said that the adult is in the chest! ”

Zhang Xian put down the sour plum soup, in fact, Zhang Xian knew very well that the end of the Southern Song Dynasty was an era of coexistence of heroes and ministers, both Jia Nidao, Liumengyan and other traitors who had been stinking for 10,000 years, and Jiang Wanli and Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and other loyal martyrs of the late Song Dynasty, now the government is basically controlled by Jia Yidao, and after Jia Yidao is controlled by Liumengyan, as for the later three heroes at the end of the Song Dynasty, the time to really control the government is very short, due to the limitations of history, these loyal martyrs have also made a lot of mistakes, especially Zhang Shijie's wrong decision, It can be said that he single-handedly accelerated the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the depths of Zhang Xian's heart, these loyal ministers can do specific things, but they must not be the commander of one party, because loyal ministers are not equal to capable ministers. To put it bluntly, what the current Great Song Dynasty lacks is Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang's ministers like temple calculations, Zhang Xian said calmly:

"Wang Jiaotou first took a sip of sour plum soup, this iced sour plum soup is indeed very cool and thirst-quenching. You are too elevated to the official, the official is not a high-ranking official in the court, and he can't control the court battles and plans, so he doesn't have so much responsibility. If you want to talk about the strategy of breaking the enemy, the officer does not dare to say that it must be done, and only by practicing combat with the Tartars can we find out whether it is feasible or not. This official only has some ideas to break the enemy for the time being, and he may not be mature, so he needs to ask the head of the Wang sect for more advice, and then slowly improve! Freezing for three days is not a day's cold, the imperial court army is unbearable, even if there are ministers in the imperial court, it is by no means three years and five years can cause today's situation. In the same way, to completely defeat the Tartar army, it will take us years, or even decades, to accumulate small victories into big victories, accumulate lessons and lessons in the non-stop campaign, and lay the foundation for the final all-out blow and complete destruction of the enemy, otherwise, the Northern Expedition can only be a utopian dream! ”

Wang Fu's heart was agitated, the young master really put the Northern Expedition in his heart, Wang Fu only hated the sky and had no eyes, let himself be killed by the ministers, and the blood of serving the country was poured with ice water, and he was almost unjustly killed, and he was grateful to the sky for letting him meet a Ming Lord at a desperate juncture, although the young master is still a nameless young man, but he does have the world in his heart, how many princes above the court should be ashamed, and the ministers of the Han Dynasty! 王复 says:

"Your Excellency! Every time the old man was ordered to go on the expedition, the court either blindly commanded with various wills, or all kinds of unrealistic requirements, either sent a holy decree to annihilate a certain Tartar prince and noble, or went to the south to conquer the enemy, or let us flee again and again, and we had to be followed by flies-like eunuchs to point fingers, and rarely let the commanders and generals command independently according to the battlefield situation, on the one hand, our army is far from the Tartars in terms of its own combat strength, plus the hands and feet of the army stretched out in the court, this battle, It's really a rare thing to win, and it's normal not to win! ”

Wang repeatedly let out a grumble in his heart, turned around and continued:

"If you want to break the enemy, it's not impossible, the old man has two internal and external strategies, and the internal strategy is to reform the military and political system of the Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court wants to check and balance the generals, this is no problem, after all, if the commander of the army has different intentions, it will indeed cause disaster to the imperial court, but it is absolutely impossible to send layman eunuchs to blindly command the generals to fight, and secondly, it is necessary to prevent different forces in the DPRK and China from reaching out to command the generals who lead troops to fight outside, and even the emperor had better not interfere with the command of the generals! ”

When he said this, Wang Fu quietly looked at Zhang Xian, after all, the courtiers talked about the right and wrong of the king, which was a great rebellion, but when he saw that Zhang Xian was listening carefully and didn't mind, he put his mind at ease, and continued:

"This foreign strategy, our army is fighting against the Tartars, that is, to strengthen the collection of military intelligence, in the past we fought with the Tartars, I don't know when the Tartars will come to invade the border, I don't know if the purpose of the Tartars is to grab a vote of property or to capture the city. Anyway, my Da Song side is to send troops to meet the enemy if there is a police, and if there is no police, collect troops to recuperate, and be completely passive. Secondly, our army should make use of its strengths and avoid weaknesses, try to avoid confrontation with the Tartar cavalry, and try to use the strengths of fortified cities, sneak attacks, and use the terrain to restrain the Tartar cavalry! That's all the old man can say, I don't know what adults have to say? ”

Zhang Xian nodded at Wang Fu and said:

"Wang Jiaotou, I don't dare to be a teacher, at present, this official has never fought with the Tartars, and Wang Jiaotou is already a famous general, we are just discussing. What Wang Jiaotou said is reasonable, this is also the experience of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight, and these officials have no doubts! However, this official wants to add a few points, and ask Wang Jiaotou to see if it is feasible? ”

Zhang Xian paused for a moment and said: "This first point, internal policy is not a problem, because this official does not plan to be controlled by the imperial court in the future, and there is no problem of being instructed by the imperial court." Second, in terms of the strategy for dealing with the Tartars, this officer would like to add that the Tartar cavalry has suffered several losses, and will never send a large number of cavalry to the rugged mountains and hills to fight our infantry, nor will they fight us under a fortified city, unless it is a last resort, the enemy will not be so stupid, and I believe that they also know how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. If we want the Northern Expedition, if we want to unify China and rebuild the world, then it is inevitable to fight the Tartar cavalry on the plains and even the grasslands. This officer is good at reading military books and tactics, and summarizes three methods of infantry against cavalry in history:

"One is to use chariots to form a formation and block the cavalry charge!"

"The second is a dense long formation, that is, a formation with long weapons in hand, and the Tartars have a saying that they will not attack in battle! This shows that the Tartars are afraid of this kind of battle formation. ”

"The third is to build obstacles, to the plains and even grasslands, thousands of miles of land are flat and unobstructed, and there is no strong city to hold in those places, so you can only find a way to build obstacles to block the enemy's cavalry charge!"

Zhang Xian nodded again and again when he saw Wang Fu hearing this, and continued: "In history, any infantry defeats cavalry, all of them use these three methods or one of them, there are three principles in this, first of all, we must ensure the morale of our army, ensure that the soldiers absolutely implement the military law, ensure that the formation is not chaotic, and must not cross the formation when forming a formation, and the defeat of the formation is irretrievable, and it will definitely lose!" Secondly, it is necessary to ensure the security of the flanks, organize multi-faceted defense, and leave no flaws and blind spots. Last but not least, it's important to have long-range offensive weapons, and disrupting the enemy's offensive formation is the best defense! ”

"Wang Jiaotou, to be honest, these are the future strategy of the officer, are the initial stage of our weak period, the last resort, to the stalemate stage, the official will use some asymmetrical tactics, the so-called asymmetry, such as the Tartar cavalry fierce, our cavalry is relatively weak, as Wang Jiaotou said, we and the long to overcome the enemy's short, this is the asymmetrical tactics. Then, the officer had to brainstorm and always think of a way to restrain the Tartar cavalry. When the main force of the Tartars is defeated, it will reach the final stage of unification, that is, to clear the Mobei, let the iron-blooded soldiers seal the wolf Juxu, and return the Great Song Dynasty to a bright and prosperous world!

Wang Fu's expression became excited, is this young master a human or a god? It turned out that he had always thought that he and the Tartars were fighting on the front line, and no one in the world knew the Tartar cavalry better than himself, and he never thought that a young nameless boy had such a deep insight into the Tartar cavalry, and even had a countermeasure, and even, even he only dared to shout, but the Northern Expedition, which was full of difficulties, and the clearing of Mobei was in its planning, what kind of teenager was this? Could it be that this is a god sent by God to save the people of the Great Song Dynasty?

Wang Fu stood up, looked at Zhang Xian respectfully, and said:

"My lord's insight, the old man of Wenzhi and martial arts is really admired, the old man must do it according to the plan and deployment of the adult, and he will die with all his might, and I also believe that the adult will have a day when he will look at the world, and there will be a day when he will clear the Great Song Huanyu! The old man will go back and hurry up to practice the family! Oh, by the way, the spearmanship taught by the young master and the tactics of the three people, the old man has seen it carefully, it is extremely fierce and deadly, but it is simple and easy to learn, without dragging the mud and water, the spearman's spear skills are dwarfed, but the old man's sergeant is better than the moves, the strength is enough, the old man wants to fuse it, it must be very powerful! ”

Zhang Xian smiled in his heart, the spear fighting skills of our army in later generations, as well as the three-person offensive and defensive formation, have been tested by the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, if it is not powerful, it is really a joke! The spear and spear assassination technique evolved from the spear stabbing technique, the three of them cooperated, and the attack and defense were orderly, which was naturally more powerful than the current scattered formation of the Song army and the mode of soldiers fighting separately, I don't know how many times, and it was also incomparably more powerful! Zhang Xian didn't say anything, but said:

"Okay, I discussed with Wang Jiaotou today, and I benefited a lot, Wang Jiaotou will go back and practice the follow-up recruits according to the method you said!"

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he shouted outside the door: "Zhang Fan, come in!" Go and pack a can of chilled sour plum soup for Wang Jiaotou and take it to his residence! Add more ice! ”

Wang Fu was a little moved, this young master was really broad-minded, generous, and coarse and fine, and said:

"The old man has thanked you! Leave!! ”
