Chapter 133: Post-War Summary
Zhao Quan's heart is hot, he really didn't expect that his lord guild would have such a thunderbolt method, just out of the valley, not only took his brothers to get the rank of captain and Sima, bleached the identity of everyone as a thief, but also achieved military merits, with the opportunity to rise, looking at the red-faced soldiers, they are all waiting for the rank of Sima, it is really envious.
Seeing this expression, Lu Peng said apologetically to Zhao Quan and Wu Tao: "In a large group, some people will stand at the forefront, and they will achieve a career in glory, but in fact, behind the scenes of our people, there are more and countless unknown people supporting them. Then patted Zhao Quan and Wu Tao on the shoulder: "No one will forget you who are unsung and dedicated, we will not only remember, but also give you the glory you deserve, but not for the time being, but it won't be too long." ”
Zhao Quan immediately bowed his hand and said: "The lord is too worried, for the great cause of the lord, we know what we should do, for the ideal world you gave us at that time, we are willing to pay without regrets." ”
Lu Peng looked at the eyes of Zhao Quan and Wu Tao, who were full of sincerity, and put down these topics, in this team, there is no need to always promise anything, and there is no need to always investigate something, everything but with his heart, this is enough.
"The battle of the Black Mountain Village, in fact, there is nothing to say, that is, opportunistic, but our income is rich, not a matter of money, but people, please pay attention to everyone here, our future wealth and foundation, is the people, as long as we have enough population, we are equal to mastering everything." This is the opening remarks of Lu Peng, who sat on the chair he had built under his guidance.
Kneeling and sitting is really tiring, so when Lu Peng went out of the valley last time, he deliberately drew drawings and asked the carpentry class of the technical school to create a batch of furniture for later generations in his hall, mainly chairs and matching tables, so that he and his brothers could be as comfortable as possible.
For Lu Peng's opinion, everyone agrees with both hands, there is no population base, even if you control the wealth of the world, what can you do? Nothing can be done.
At this time, Xi Zhen spoke: "But when attacking Zhaojiabao, this three-stack gun array invented by you, my lord, is indeed very powerful, but we have also learned a lesson. ”
Xi Zhen came to the battle in person, and he was the most vocal, so Lu Peng listened humbly.
Xi Zhen said solemnly: "The power of the three-fold gun formation is extremely huge, but I found that this formation has a fatal shortcoming, the spear is far away and not good for the close, as long as there is an enemy's fierce general in the middle of our gun array, rush into our formation, our spearmen, is equivalent to becoming a lamb to the slaughter, this is one aspect, another aspect is that our spearmen are not conducive to climbing the city attack, climbing the city to attack this thing, in fact, it is necessary to do the sword and shield soldiers." ”
As the saying goes, only practice can test the truth of assumptions.
A few years ago, when he was in the base area, Lu Peng was in accordance with the original crossing books, the three-fold gun formation was invincible, and at the same time, because his steel production was really limited, so he took it for granted that all the soldiers became pikemen, so that although the iron material was saved and the offensive was enhanced, but from the perspective of this battle, its drawbacks were also fatal, not to mention the leader's decision to pat his head was the most harmful, this is a real example.
Lu Peng humbly accepted the suggestion, and sighed: "The victory of the war is indeed not something that can be won by one army, it really needs to be combined by multiple arms, my original decision was taken for granted, from now on, in our base area, restore the sword and shield soldiers, the proportion." Lu Peng thought for a moment: "First according to the ratio of five to one, that is to say, in each thousand-person team, equipped with two hundred sword and shield men, their main purpose is to cover the left and right of the pikemen, cut and kill those fish that slipped through the net, and ensure the integrity of the pikemen's formation." ”
All of you here are very pleased with the humble teaching of the lord, and it is a blessing for everyone to follow a lord who has the courage to admit his mistakes and can put his advice into his ears.
Zhao Quanyu reported: "The longbow invented by the lord, we have made a lot, as a long-distance strike force, indispensable in a thousand-person team, according to the requirements of the lord, we do not require its precise strike, only responsible for distant coverage, so in the training of archers, we have lowered the requirements, so now it has been formed, with a certain combat effectiveness." ”
Lu Peng nodded with satisfaction: "A real archer needs at least three years to practice, and I have lowered the standard like this, as long as the archers don't point to the east and west, in fact, three days is enough, I want to use a surface strike instead of a point strike, as long as these archers can shoot the giant arrow to the specified approximate range, even if their task is completed, now our materials are still in short supply, our bow and arrow can not be equipped in a large area, and when our steel production will go to a higher level in the future, I will equip half of each thousand-man team with archers, and I will make the enemy have to withstand our stormy giant arrows when they rush in front of our spear array, you can imagine that in the war, thousands of giant arrows continue to fall, under such blows, how many enemies can come to our spear array alive? Then he pinched his chin and squinted his eyes in infinite reverie: "At that time, war will no longer be cruel to us, and the word cruelty can only be dedicated to our enemies." ”
Zhang Yan poured a basin of cold water on Lu Peng at this time: "The strength of the longbowmen's strikes is indeed fascinating, but once the war enters a stalemate stage, once the enemy breaks through the spear array, our longbowmen will become the targets of slaughter." Then he carefully summarized: "If, according to the requirements of the lord, our longbowmen are equipped with half of the number of thousand-man troops, it is equivalent to in the later stage of the battle, we have half of our strength idle, which is more than worth the loss." ”
Lv Peng likes this kind of meeting atmosphere, dare to speak, dare to contradict the boss, everyone openly and honestly say their own ideas, put forward their own objections, this is the atmosphere that a vigorous team should have.
Zhang Yan's proposal is indeed the common sense of war, every war, as long as it enters a state of melee, the most casualties are indeed those archers, because of the close attack, the damage to the enemy is simply minimal, so these archers often become lambs to the slaughter in the war.
However, Zhang Yan still didn't see through the affairs of the new students, so Lu Peng smiled: "You didn't see through my longbow, that bow arm is a kind of perennial wood bent, once it is out of the bowstring, the bow arm is more than one person high, it is simply a big stick, when the longbow can no longer play a role on the battlefield, I will let these archers take off the bowstring and become stick soldiers, and they can join the battle, this is the biggest advantage of my longbow." ”
Scottish longbow, in this era, there is not even a place in Scotland, let alone a longbow, and Lu Peng has plagiarized these things, so he must give full play to all his advantages and abandon all his drawbacks.
With Lu Peng's explanation, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, on the battlefield, every point of strength may determine the victory of this war, and it must not be wasted, neither can the soldiers who go to the battlefield become lambs to be slaughtered, and of course, they cannot be made to become spectators of the war.
