Chapter 370: Su Shi's Wisdom
After Wang Ningan sent Ouyang Xiu away, he began to be nervously busy, he wanted to recruit troops and expand his strength. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was sure that Ouyang Xiu could bring peace, but peace would not last long...... It's not that I'm worried that the Liao Congress will regret it, but that Wang Ningan is ready to do it.
He vaguely remembered that Yelu Zong was really going to die, and the emperor was given a temple name called "Xingzong", and almost all the old people were blessed to live a long life, but in fact, very few people could live to be 100 years old...... This Liao Xingzong also did not prosper the Liao State, on the contrary, he also lost the legacy left by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the domestic and foreign troubles of Liao were no less than those of the Great Song Dynasty. An empire that was already terminally ill has been pitted countless times by Wang Ning'an, and the situation of the Liao State can be imagined.
Wang Ning'an told Ouyang Xiu that if necessary, he could give up the Bohai Kingdom...... Of course, this is verbal, and only by getting rid of the shackles of the Great Song Dynasty can the Bohai State play its greatest role.
During this time, Wang Ning'an drew out 2,000 sailors, and obtained 500 warriors with silk and porcelain in the Wa Kingdom, plus the men and horses put together by various methods, the Bohai Kingdom nominally had 10,000 soldiers.
In addition, Wang Ningan also ordered the fleet to get Jeju Island into his hands.
He was also worried that the Goryeo people would fight back, maybe there would be a battle, but who knew that the Goryeo people didn't care about this desert island at all, especially when they heard that the ships of the Great Song Dynasty were coming, they actually wanted to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and they were also ready to use the power of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao State...... Compared to these big things, an island in the sea really has little value.
It's just that after Wang Ningan got the news, he almost jumped up.
The Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm has reached its bottleneck, the altitude here is very low, and there is a lack of wide pastures for war horses to gallop. And as the population grew, land became more expensive.
The pasture covers a vast area and produces very little, and if it weren't for Wang Ning'an's insistence, the diligent people would have turned the pasture into farmland...... Wang Ningan also saw it, no wonder the pastoral supervisors in various places are getting smaller and smaller, and there is really no way to raise good horses into donkeys.
Jeju Island is in hand, the next step is to go to the third brother, get the small curly horse Wari horse, with a strong and excellent war horse, the Wang family's iron horse will be upgraded again, and it will be easier and easier to raise the Liao country......
War horses are related to the rise and fall of empires, and they must not be sloppy in the slightest.
The third uncle, Wang Liangjin, took the initiative to ask Ying, and Wang Ningxuan also followed.
In Wang Ning'an's impression, this Wang Sanlang still has a pair of two-cylinder snot and does not listen to the virtue of sucking and sucking...... Who knows, all these years have passed, he is almost twenty years old, his body is very strong, he looks like a dog, equestrianism, archery, martial arts, and even swimming are very good, last winter, he patrolled with a few soldiers, took advantage of the freezing of the ice, and ambushed the Liao soldiers, killed 5 people, captured two war horses, and caused a sensation in the Wang family army for a while.
The third uncle and Wang Ningxuan left together, Wang Ningan was relieved a lot, believing that they had the ability to complete the task......
The horse is solved, and all that remains is the people.
It's a shame to say that the most prominent point of the wall-riding tactics is that the training cycle is short and not picky!
It is said that the little man in France once turned a peasant into a formidable dragoon in eight months...... Wang Ningan calculated, it is not impossible, take ordinary infantry as an example, it will be able to complete the queue in more than half a year, and when the situation is urgent, it can also go to the battlefield.
Cavalry is a bit more complex than infantry, and eight months may do...... But Wang Ningan felt that it was still necessary to train carefully, although the time was very tight, but it was not to the point of joking with human life.
If you have a foundation in riding, you can succeed in one year, and if you start from scratch, it is estimated that it will take two or three years, even so, it makes Wang Deyong feel staggered!
The Tielin Army of the Liao State will take at least five years, and in fact, many Liao soldiers are still wearing open crotch pants, so they have to toss and turn on horseback, and wait until they are in their teens and twenties to become an excellent soldier.
How long the cultivation cycle is, coupled with the scarcity of their people, it is definitely impatient to fight against Wang Jiajun.
……
Da Su has been busy in the military camp with his brothers, as well as Liu Yu, Pan Su and others these days, and finally one day, several of them jointly found Wang Ning'an.
Liu Yu's face was very ugly, he hung his head, and he looked full of anger.
"Boss, Su Shi is uneasy and kind!"
Da Su's eyes suddenly widened, "You are a crime that you want to add, I racked my brains, it's not all for your boss!" ”
"You quibble, for the sake of the boss, why do you crack the boss's tactics?"
"I don't crack it, what if I let the Liao people crack it? At that time, it was going to kill someone! ”
Liu Yu couldn't say anything about Su Shi, he just glared at him viciously.
Wang Ningan was confused when he heard it, "Which of you will tell me what is going on!" ”
Da Su hurriedly smiled and said, "I cracked the wall-riding tactic, isn't it amazing?" ”
Before Wang Ning'an could speak, Su Shi gushed endlessly and began to speak...... It turned out that Wang Ningan asked his subordinates to summarize their tactics and look for deficiencies, and many people praised the wall cavalry, believing that this was the supreme magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
But Su Shi's brain is different from ordinary people, he firmly believes that nothing is perfect, and the wall-riding tactics are flawed.
He studied hard and really found a way.
Su Shi proudly got a sand table, on which he explained that if the Liao soldiers selected the most elite knights, kept firing arrows on the horses, and did not contact the Wang army, with bows and arrows, it would be enough to drag down the Wang army.
When the idea was proposed, he was immediately sprayed with anger, not to mention whether there were such powerful cavalry in Liao, even if there were, would it take time to shoot arrows? At least at first, you have to face each other, right? Liao soldiers can shoot several rounds of bows and arrows, and when the Wang army rushes in front of them, is it not a dead end?
Su Shi didn't agree, they quarreled for a long time, and finally Su Zhe came up with a solution, Mr. said that knowledge and action are one, you might as well experiment and see what the result is!
Everyone readily agreed, and sure enough, there was a rehearsal on the school field.
It's just that the result surprised everyone, including Da Su!
The Wang army was defeated, the wall-riding tactics were defeated, and they were completely defeated!
Liu Yu was stupid at that time, how could the god-like Wang Ningan be wrong! It must be that they are experimenting wrong, no, re-experimenting, once it doesn't work twice, twice it doesn't work three times!
It's just that every time it's more obvious than ever, the Wang family's army is indeed defeated.
"Boss, immediately give an order and tell all the soldiers in the school field that they are not allowed to leak the results, and we will never say a word to the outside world! Especially Su Shi, shut his mouth and don't let him talk everywhere! Liu Yu suggested excitedly.
Wang Ningan laughed, "What nonsense!" Aren't you hiding your ears and stealing the bell? Tell me how you did it. ”
After listening to everyone's story, Wang Ningan's face also changed.
The tactics that Su Shi came up with were not utopian, this thing was called "Mangu Gang" in later generations, and it was the ability of the Mongols to take care of their work, that is, to shoot arrows while retreating, to eliminate the opponent with bows and arrows, to drag down the enemy's formation, and then to counterattack.
This kind of tactic requires extremely superb cavalry and archery skills, which the Liao soldiers can't do at the moment, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
When the Wang Iron Cavalry faced the "Mangu Gang", at the beginning, it could catch up, but once the chase was 300 steps away, the speed of the Wang Jiajun would drop significantly, and the other party successfully maintained a sufficient distance and kept shooting arrows, and finally wiped out the Wang Jiajun......
They rehearsed it several times, and the result was the same.
Wang Ning'an's tactics of sweeping Yelu Hongji were actually vulnerable, no wonder Liu Yu was in such a hurry!
Something is wrong, the wall-mounted cavalry will not be afraid of Mangu, but why was the Wang army defeated? Wang Ningan frowned, his brain turned rapidly, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"I see, it's because of the armor!"
Wang Ningan said categorically: "Our knights are wearing dozens of catties of armor, and the horses are also wearing armor, so much more weight, no wonder they can't catch up with each other." ”
When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized.
"The problem is indeed with the armor." Han Zongwu said: "But without armor, what kind of iron horse is it?" Isn't this unsolvable? ”
Pan Su also said: "Could it be that you can only hope that the Liao soldiers can't think of this tactic? ”
Wang Ningan shook his head and said, "Isn't it too pitiful to expect the enemy to make mistakes!" The big guy will use his brains and will definitely be able to think of a way to fill this loophole. ”
If outsiders see this scene, they will be surprised.
As the division commander, the famous tactics were cracked, Wang Ningan was not angry at all, but seemed to be nothing, discussing ways together, this person's heart is really big!
But these students, as well as Liu Yu, feel very cordial, this is Wang Ningan's difference, compared to those rotten Confucians who have a bigger face than the sky, Wang Ningan is much more respected.
"I thought of it!"
Su Shi suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "The solution is very simple, you can't catch up with it in armor, you can't do it without armor!" ”
"Then what's the matter, you're kidding the lives of the soldiers!" Liu Yu categorically denied it.
Wang Ningan was blessed to the soul, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's go to the school field to practice." ”
came to the school field, Wang Ningan called Liang Dagang and asked him to transfer 100 cavalry, after the live demonstration, the big guy was stunned again, obediently, he really let Dasu get it right!
After not wearing armor, Wang Jiajun's speed and endurance have increased a lot...... Those cavalry who play mangu will be caught up if they shoot a maximum of two rounds of bows and arrows, and it is very difficult to shoot on horseback, so they can kill half of the cavalry at most in two rounds, and in fact it is likely that it is less than thirty percent.
That is to say, there are 100 people, and there are still 50 people left, and these 50 people fight with each other, even if they die together, that is to say, the Wang family army has 100 people, and 50 people from the other party have been killed.
Two to one casualties, very heavy, right?
But in Liang Dagang's opinion, he can laugh so much that his nose bubbles!
The cavalry that can play Mangu is definitely the elite of the elite, and there is no one that can be trained in ten or eight years, and the cavalry who does not wear armor, as long as there is a horse, can succeed in one year.
Two to one?
Ten to one is earned!
Who would have thought that such a difficult problem could be solved so easily. In the past, everyone thought of becoming taller, and if they got any equipment, they were armed to the teeth, and they could be invincible. Who would have thought that by reducing equipment and using the lowest inferior armament, the elite of the opponent would be fought for the elite...... Dasu's wisdom is really impressive!
On the contrary, he was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he swore to God that our Dasu didn't want to be in the limelight.
"Brother-in-law, what, I'm not ......"
Wang Ningan laughed, "You think that with a little cleverness, you will compare me to me?" Can it make me ashamed of myself? Let me teach you two more sentences: practice makes true knowledge! I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more! ”
