Chapter 477: Beacon Yangzhou

Zhang San was naturally very happy to see such a great opportunity, and the army that landed on the shore began to prepare, and the sailors also began to raise their sails and stand by, just waiting for the fleet of the forbidden army to set sail, and his side began to launch in an all-round way.

The forbidden army was much more delicate than those immigrants, and the more than 80 large ships only loaded more than 40,000 people in the end, plus the 10,000 forwards who crossed the river in advance, there were still more than 40,000 people left on the shore, but for the 100,000 Ryukyu army, it was really insignificant.

After the fleet set off into the Yangtze River, Zhang San's side immediately launched, as soon as the 150 warships came out of the reed area, Zhang San's land troops also began to move, for the warfleet, there is no challenge for the two-handed warship to deal with a transport ship, and for the land battle, 100,000 people against 40,000 is not challenging.

When Zhang San's army was still five miles away from the Song army by the canal, it was finally discovered that it was only at this time, at this distance, the reaction that the Song army could give was also limited, and the Ryukyu army had already been killed before the formation was adjusted.

The first was the 1st Regiment of the Army, led by cavalry, which cut the Song army from the middle, making the Song army, which was already preparing to board the ship in a long shape, more dispersed, and then there were other smaller cuts.

The so-called division and encirclement, the smaller the number of people gathered by the enemy, the more insecure it is, so when the Song army on the shore was divided into seven or eight regiments, the whole battle situation was no longer challenging, and in the face of the choice of surrendering or dying, the fearless were only a few.

Zhang San has seen many netizens eagerly discuss in the post bar, what ancient army will collapse if there are many casualties, etc., everyone generally takes ten percent as the standard, and thinks that ancient armies rarely can not collapse without losing one-tenth.

Zhang San knew that this theory was inaccurate, and it was true that the battle loss ratio between the two sides in a large battle rarely exceeded ten percent, and that was not that the soldiers had reached the so-called limit of bearing, but that this proportion of casualties had reached the limit of the army's formation.

In Europe, the general tactics of the two armies are to maintain their own formations and disrupt the enemy's formations to win, so that after most of the armies lose a certain number, part of the formation will collapse, resulting in the collapse of the whole army's formation and the loss of the war.

The Han people's military rules pay attention to locking the victory outside the battle formation, and few military books mention how to defeat the enemy in a frontal battle, but no matter how you fight, in the end, there will be an army to fight against.

Just like this time the Ryukyu Army faced the Great Song Forbidden Army, the Song Army prepared in a hurry and had no time to concentrate, so each department formed a small military formation, and in the battle, it was often not to see how high the battle loss ratio would collapse, but to see when the opponent's formation would be defeated.

Regardless of whether the formation is large or small, as long as the formation is chaotic, this army will quickly collapse, on the contrary, as long as the formation is still there, then this army will not collapse even if the battle loss exceeds 30%.

Just like the Yutai battalion, in the case of being plotted and surrounded, the casualties exceeded 40%, and they still insisted on the arrival of reinforcements, this is because Yutai can always stand up at critical moments, plug the gap in the formation, and give the soldiers behind him time to reorganize the formation.

Therefore, the final comparison of the war is not the casualty rate, but who can quickly find the weak link of the other side and defeat the opponent's formation, which is why the ethnic minorities always have an advantage in the war of the Central Plains ethnic groups.

The opponent came on horseback, and the Han infantry couldn't catch up if they wanted to destroy the opponent's formation, but the opponent could calmly circle around you to find your weak link, and then defeat you to win the game in one fell swoop.

Just like how long can Li Ling last when the formation is not chaotic when the formation is not chaotic, just like the Mo Dao team in the Tang Dynasty, the enemy can rush into the formation, but it does not disperse, and the queue will eventually be broken, and the Huang Tiandang of the Yue family army can also break through the enemy formation and cause the other party to fail, as well as the Qi family's army in the north of the desert.

Therefore, the ancient strong armies were all victorious by strong formations, not only their own formations were strong, but also they had to be able to quickly break through the enemy's formations, which was also the experience of the art of war that Zhang San had recently summed up.

Therefore, the Ryukyu Army, which was trained with the art of modern battle formations, was basically not much different from the army of the Great Song Dynasty, which was negligent in training, and the army that fought the Japanese Kingdom, which is why all dynasties said that the border army was elite.

The border army has poor food, poor housing, and poor use, why they have such strong combat effectiveness, it is because they often fight, often fight against the enemy, and fight against! If there are more correct opponents, the formation will naturally be trained, and the army will naturally be stronger.

Just like now, the Ryukyu Army strangled the Great Song Forbidden Army, relying on the strength of its own formation, and its own large number of weapons can quickly break through the enemy's formation, so every sub-battlefield is invincible.

I remember that at the beginning, the Ryukyu Army discussed the need to increase the martial arts training of soldiers and teach some advanced martial arts so that they could have more advantages when fighting.

Zhang San felt that the army did not rely on martial arts to fight, so Zhang San took out a set of training standards for later generations, focusing on training queues and team combat ability, and ordered the prohibition of individual heroism, the smallest combat unit of the Ryukyu Army is a team, not one person, even if the enemy has only one person, the Ryukyu Army must fight the opponent five!

After a few exercises, everyone also found that the better the formation training, the higher the winning rate of the team exercise, and those who are personally heroic and delusional to break the enemy's formation by their own force will often lose very badly, because even if you are a super-first-class general, the opponent only has a battalion commander of a first-class general, but he can still rely on himself and three soldiers to drag himself.

Later wars proved that Zhang San emphasized the importance of formation, just like the decisive battle with Kyoto of the Wa Kingdom, even if the cavalry did not fight in the end, it would not take two hours for each department to break the Wa army opposite them, which battle also fully tested the strength of the formation.

And after half a year of fighting against the Japanese, the more powerful Ryukyu Army faced the panicked Great Song Forbidden Army, so what was the challenge? Is there any suspense? Is there anything else to see? Do you need to depict any HTC war scenes? Apparently not needed.

However, the Ryukyu Army did not complete the goal of annihilating the forbidden army in the end, because thousands of people jumped into the river! That's how amazing it is! You say that those who know how to jump into the river forget it, and those who don't know how to jump will follow others and jump with them! The canal is not wide, but it is deep!

Zhang San estimated that there would be a lot of floating corpses in the Yangtze River downstream of Yangzhou in the next period of time, but that was not what Zhang San should care about.

A small part of these people are from the vicinity of Tokyo, and some of them are levied nearby, it's a pity to let go, if you don't let go of people's families or something, it's a bit inappropriate to be a group of bitter haha?

When Zhang San discussed his thoughts with Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong looked at him in surprise, and Zhang San remembered that people like him were not less arrested! What else to say, Zhang San immediately ordered all these people to be gathered together, and when the ship was empty, they were transported to Ryukyu with the captured soldiers!
