"You finally get it. If the wall charge you are talking about touches the Mongols, they will die very badly, very badly, and they will not even touch the enemy from beginning to end. ”

Huang Taiji said with a sneer.

Pu Jun couldn't help but sweat coldly, and he felt a burst of happiness.

If the wall charge is really made by him, if he encounters the Mongols, he may suffer heavy losses.

"Cavalry who can't shoot and cavalry are two completely different concepts. Cavalry who do not know how to shoot on horseback can maneuver at high speed, but they can also charge into battle. But encountering the Mongol light cavalry alone was basically a dead end. So most often they either attached themselves to the infantry, or used three-eyed firearms. ”

Huang Taiji said.

Pu Jun listened to him quietly, and he finally realized that if he did what he had seen before, it was likely that he would die a very miserable death.

"The infantry who knows how to shoot on horseback is a long-range soldier, who can maneuver long distances, charge at high speeds, and shoot arrows at the enemy from a distance. Some infantry who did not have long-range means of defense had no power to fight back against cavalry who knew how to shoot horses, and he could even destroy a large number of infantry at a very small cost, and he did not have to fear the Mongol cavalry. Therefore, the infantry who knows how to mount and shoot is much stronger than the ordinary cavalry. ”

Huang Taiji continued.

Pu Jun also nodded again and again when he heard it.

"I hear you mean that you seem to be very heavy on those phalanxes, but a little underestimate those cavalry."

Huang Taiji stared into his eyes and said.

"This ......"

Hear here. Pu Jun couldn't help but hesitate.

To tell the truth, under the influence of later generations, he did attach great importance to all kinds of phalanxes and muskets.

But he knew it if he admitted it. Huang Taiji must be very unhappy.

Because the Jurchens founded their country on horseback and shooting, if they said so, wouldn't they look down on their own people.

"Do you know which dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty attaches the most importance to the phalanx? Which dynasty had the most powerful phalanx? ”

Huang Taiji asked.

Pu Jun shook his head, he really didn't know about this question.

"Song Dynasty."

Huang Taiji's promise surprised him, how could it be the Song Dynasty?

"The Song Dynasty was the most important phalanx of all dynasties in the Central Plains, and their phalanx division of labor was not only fine, but also strict, sometimes even stretching for 2o miles. Whether it was the Khitans or the Jurchens at that time, it was very difficult to storm the phalanx of the Song Dynasty. But do you know what later generations called the Song Dynasty? ”

Huang Taiji asked again.

Pu Jun nodded. That's the weak Song.

"The phalanx has its advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious. That is, the terrain is demanding, the steering is not flexible, and it is very bulky. Even if it was a cavalryman. The cavalry could also completely bypass the phalanx. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's face showed a sneer.

"Even if the cavalry fails to attack the phalanx, they can leave calmly, and those infantry can't catch up with the cavalry at all. Even if those infantry phalanxes defeated the cavalry a hundred times, they might not be able to kill 10,000 cavalry. But as long as the cavalry can win the infantry phalanx once, it may kill tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which is the difference between infantry and cavalry. The reason why the Song Dynasty was called a weak Song Dynasty back then was that the lack of cavalry was one of the big reasons. ”

Huang Taiji continued.

Hearing this, Pu Jun couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He listened to Huang Taiji's meaning as if he was saying. His infantry phalanx wasn't of much use.

"You have to remember that we are here in the East. The battlefields in the east are often hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles. And not in the West, at most only hundreds of miles. And it's just going to be hard-hitting. The cavalry could maneuver at high speed over a range of thousands of miles, and when the Mongols were marching westward, they could even move nearly two hundred miles a day. What is the use of your infantry phalanx against such cavalry? Not even qualified to eat ashes after him. ”

"How is this possible?"

Pu Jun said with a shocked face.

Two hundred miles is nearly a hundred kilometers, and in ancient times, such a long distance for a one-day march was simply unbelievable.

Even a blitzkrieg during World War II would not have been able to advance such a long distance in a single day.

Huang Taiji didn't explain to him. In fact, he was right.

During the Western Expedition, he captured Northern Russia. It took only 2 months and 5 days to reach an average speed of 85 to 9o kilometers per day, including various siege operations.

The capture of South Russia took only 2 months and 1o days, and the speed of the attack reached 55 to 6o kilometers per day.

The capture of Hungary and Poland took only three months, and the speed of the attack reached 58 to 62 kilometers per day.

Even if Pu Jun trained a new type of infantry, he would not be able to advance 5o kilometers in a day.

Because the ancient roads were not all over the place, the transportation was backward, and those burdens were very slow down the marching speed, coupled with the search for water sources and camping, it was impossible to march quickly.

"When the Mongols were marching westward, they also encountered their unbreakable infantry phalanx, but in the end it was they who won. They would harass the phalanx like a pack of wolves, sometimes even for days or even days on end, until they were exhausted before attacking them. Do you think your phalanx will be able to withstand several days of continuous harassment from them? ”

Huang Taiji asked.

Pu Jun thought about it and shook his head, if he encountered that situation, I am afraid he would only have to set up camp, of course, this also had to be given him the opportunity to camp.

It was then that he realized that he had taken war too simply.

"Cavalry has many advantages over infantry, as long as infantry can be found in the field, cavalry can pin him down, and then mobilize more troops to encircle and suppress. Whoever has the advantage in cavalry will have the initiative in the war. When to fight, whether to fight or not, is decided by the side with strong cavalry. ”

"It is precisely because of the advantages of cavalry that I insist on building a country with cavalry and archery. Maybe you'll be able to make a powerful rifle in the future, but if you really underestimate the cavalry. Then you are wrong. ”

Huang Taiji said.

Wasn't the recent defeat of their Jurchens all at the hands of Lu Yan's cavalry?

If Lu Yan only had infantry, how could they have been defeated so badly.

Pu Jun nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Taiji thought about it, and he felt that Pu Jun was a valuable person. It's worth the investment, so he said: "Then in this case, I will allocate you another 2oo craftsmen, and I hope you can make achievements and not live up to my expectations." ”

Hearing this, Pu Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Huang Taiji nodded, "Then you can tell me some more things." Tell us more about our Jurchens. ”

Pu Jun nodded, and then said everything he knew.

In his opinion. Huang Taiji's lineage is the real royal orthodoxy, so there is no concealment in the slightest.

This night, they had been discussing until dawn before leaving, and when they saw that Pu Jun had been in Huang Taiji's bedroom for so long, those guards all looked at Pu Jun with a look of surprise.

They all feel that Pu Jun is definitely going to develop.

Huang Taiji's face showed an extremely strange smile.

"Dolgon. Do you like my Fujin so much? ”

****

"What's going on here?"

A dark-skinned, thick-boned, and fierce Mongol rode over on horseback and said.

Just now, under the leadership of the Lin family, they raided several Spaniard gathering points and captured some Spaniards, but they didn't expect to find this situation when they came here.

"It's nothing, it's just a game with some knights."

Mo Zhigen said with a smile.

It was obvious that the battle was too easy in his eyes, and their hundreds of cavalry had wiped out almost the same number of Spanish cavalry unscathed, so it could only be regarded as a play.

Seeing this, Jebel shook his head. Didn't bother with him.

In his eyes, those Western cavalry were also too weak to be called the opponent of the Mongol cavalry at all.

Wu Weizhong, Han Xin and others did not continue to ask. Instead, he carefully looked at the Spanish phalanx in the distance.

I saw those Spanish phalanxes striding on the drums and striding towards these cavalry.

In fact, Alonso was a little worried after seeing so many cavalry suddenly arrive, but only relieved when he saw that they were not carrying artillery.

As long as they did not carry artillery, it was very difficult to break through the Spanish infantry phalanx.

Of course. Unbeknownst to Alonso, the musketeers were actually carrying artillery. That's the Tiger Squat Cannon.

The Tiger Squat Cannon was a small piece of artillery, the lightest weighing only eighteen kilograms, far less than the weight of a man, so it marched entirely on horseback.

Definitely the first cavalry artillery in the world, earlier than the West I don't know how many years.

But Wu Weizhong did not plan to use the tiger squat cannon this time, but planned to use another weapon, that is, a group of leopards running sideways arrows.

The difference between the Ming Dynasty and the West is that it developed a variety of rockets.

Among them, there is a single-engine first-stage rocket called the God Rocket, which can fly 4oo steps.

(Later, the rocket reached North Korea, and the North Koreans added feathers to it and changed its name to Shenji Arrow.) So South Korea made a movie called "Divine Arrow", accusing the Ming Dynasty of wanting to steal their rocket technology, so it is not unfounded to say that the stick is shameless. ）

And a large number of this kind of rocket is packed in a cylinder, forming a swarm of bees, a hundred tigers rushing arrows, and a Shenhuo Wanquan iron encirclement type.

This time, Wu Weizhong planned to use a group of leopard running arrows.

The quiver of the leopard rampant arrow is filled with forty divine rockets, and the medicine wires of each rocket are connected to a bus, as long as the bus is ignited, forty divine rockets will be launched at the same time.

Not only does it have a long attack range, but it also has a wide killing range.

It is absolutely perfect for dealing with this kind of dense infantry phalanx, and it can be called a real infantry phalanx killer.

Lü Yan also equipped the Mongol cavalry with some single-shot divine rockets, and if they wanted to charge into battle, they could use these divine rockets to disrupt the enemy army first.

Wu Weizhong and Zhebei and the others discussed for a while, so some firearm cavalry got off their horses, took out a group of leopards and ran arrows, and walked forward.

The Mongol cavalry was behind them, ready to charge. (To be continued)
