339. Individual heroism is unacceptable

Jing Wen answered the first question vaguely, and naturally answered Li Jing's second question: "Actually, this formation, I want to make up for the lack of tactics of our ordinary soldier squad. ”

"Squad tactics?" Li Jing asked.

Jingwen pointed to the soldiers who were fighting bayonets in the distance and said, "General Li, look, those soldiers of yours rushed forward one by one, but they didn't cooperate in the slightest, but they were all thinking about how to attack. In this way, their collective strength cannot be brought into play, isn't it a big loss? This is a big problem with our lack of squad tactics. Since ancient times, we have always focused on the personal qualities of soldiers, and later we simply invented the method of fighting generals. The Three Kingdoms period was the most popular time for fighting generals. Once the general wins, he will charge directly with his soldiers. And if the generals fail, then morale is low. And even in previous years, didn't we Datang rely on a few brave generals to take the lead in the charge? And once there are no brave generals, the soldiers are probably at a loss. This kind of thing is called individual heroism, and the battle is all done by individual strength, not by collective cooperation. ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Then don't we also have a lot of large-scale formations?" Isn't a large-scale formation a collective? ”

"The big formation is not so much a collective as it is a command of the manager. It is very difficult to be able to use such a large formation. Not only must the soldiers have been trained for a long time, but also a commander must be able to have the corresponding command ability, otherwise it will not be possible to implement it at all. What's more, how many times can this kind of large-scale formation be used? Jingwen said.

Jingwen must have scoffed at many people for mythological ancient formations. Many formations are useless and do not have much effect. If you set up a formation, what can you do if people don't play with you and don't break your formation? So. Large formations are very limited, requiring not only the training time of the soldiers, but also the specific situation of a certain enemy. Therefore, the training of large-scale formations often outweighs the losses. And China often walks the two extremes, either individual heroism to the extreme, or large-scale formations, that is, collective cooperation to the extreme. Both extremes are very problematic. When it comes to real combat, it is impossible to use too many large formations, but more soldiers fight.

But for the grassroots of a few people squad tactics. This Chinese strict zhòng lack. I have to say that the "vision" of ancient Chinese generals was too high, and they all stared at those battle formations or tactics with tens of thousands of people, but they lacked squad tactics. The nomads in the north hunted in small teams, and once they came to the Central Plains, they also fought according to this habit, and the result was just to hit the shortcomings of the Central Plains soldiers. No matter how strong the soldiers of the Central Plains are, they are not the opponents of a few nomads who beat them together, and they were bullied so badly.

As for the Tang Dynasty, there was no problem with the combat coordination of the large corps. But fighting with the squad of the same class is also a big loss. This situation did not improve until the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty still lacked strict tactics for this kind of squad. Therefore, Li Jing's jumping soldiers suffered a big loss in Jingwen's "new tactics" mode.

After listening to Jingwen's explanation, Li Jing realized that in fact, the northern nomads bullied the Central Plains peoples. There are many reasons for this. Many people think that the nomads obviously don't have so many military skills and military qualities, but why can they often press the Central Plains people? I am afraid it has something to do with the individual heroism of this Central Plains nation.

"General Li Jing, our shameful army has actually been established since its formation. They didn't say anything about fighting by personal bravery. Our Snow Shame Army did not rely on individual ideas, and fought together. If it is not a last resort, there is absolutely no situation of fighting independently from the team. And it doesn't matter what we decide. Or tactics, it's all collective. In this way, you can exert your full strength, unlike other armies of yours, which are all a group of soldiers who rely on their own strength to fight. Jingwen said.

Li Jing looked at the scattered situation of his subordinates, who were constantly slapped in the face by Jingwen's soldiers, and still shook his head. In fact, Li Jing also has a problem, that is, his strategic large corps combat is not a problem, but there is no very good way to command this kind of squad, which is also an important problem for the Han generals in ancient China. And this situation of contempt for the tactics of the bottom squad also caused contempt for the bottom officers. And the ancient low-level officers were very poor and could not play the role of the mother of soldiers like later generations. And the poor quality of the grass-roots officers is that it has brought countless ordinary soldiers worse, and as a result, the soldiers' quality is getting worse and worse.

"Okay, you can rest the competition!" Li Jing shouted.

Hearing Li Jing's shout, the soldiers who were competing stopped one after another and stopped competing.

"Okay, isn't it a shame that you've all lost so much? More than a dozen people besieged the three of them in a wheel battle, but they were still picked again and again, what do you have to say? Li Jing said angrily.

But Li Jing's soldiers immediately said: "General Li, this is all because they are unruly. It's obviously a martial arts competition, but they often interfere indiscriminately to bully more and less! ”

Simply Jingwen's soldiers were all in groups of three, covering each other, and as a result, many times the tactical level was formed. As long as the soldier's personal qualities are not much different, this can "kill" the enemy very easily.

Li Jing took a deep breath, he knew that what Jingwen said was right. These soldiers are all personal heroes, and I am afraid that they are no longer competent for the next war. Li Jing knew that his soldiers had all lagged behind in terms of strategic thinking and tactical thinking. It's ridiculous that Li Jing still wanted to accept Jingwen as an apprentice, and it seems that Li Jing almost hurt Jingwen. If Jingwen is accepted as an apprentice, then I am afraid that not a single military change will occur.

"Perhaps, the future battlefield is his world." Li Jing looked at Jingwen's back and said.

Jingwen had already left the scene, and those Li Jing's soldiers were also very disappointed, obviously they were defeated this time, and they had nothing to say. Now they originally thought that Jingwen's soldiers were all old soldiers, but now they were slapped in the face. I wanted to take a car, but now I don't have a car to do, I have to say that it is a sad answer. The strength is not as good as others, so Li Jing will not help them. (To be continued......)
