Chapter 66: Martial Arts, Flying Thunder
Meng Jiucheng was a little discouraged at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had only practiced for a few months, and he could still hope that he was already invincible in the world?
"Ninety percent, although you seem to be easy-going, you are actually stubborn; Although he seems to be modest, he is proud in his heart. In the past two days, I have found that you have also dabbled in a wide range of miscellaneous studies. Wang Zhongfeng began to analyze Meng Jiucheng's characteristics, "Therefore, in terms of martial arts alone, it is difficult for you to practice to the extent of reaching the peak." Without him, you will get too much, know too much, and you can't concentrate on it. ”
Meng Jiucheng thought about it and agreed with Wang Zhongfeng's evaluation.
There is no era when the victory or defeat of the war was decided by personal bravery, don't look at how the heroic deeds of the peerless fierce generals are described in the novel, in the midst of thousands of troops, the existence of a god like the overlord of Chu, in the end, didn't he also end up killing himself in Wujiang?
Because he knows this very well, he is quite diligent in practicing martial arts, but he does not concentrate on becoming a person like a "martial idiot".
"But you have a strength, that is, you have a high understanding and quick reaction, and when you fight against others, even if you don't have much higher martial arts than you, you may not be able to beat you."
Meng Jiucheng scratched his head and asked suspiciously, "Master, did you just say that you reacted quickly?" ”
"I'm experienced and of course quick to react." Wang Zhongfeng rolled his eyes and teased: "Apprentice, I said you reacted quickly, but I didn't say that you were the fastest!" ”
Meng Jiucheng understood. I reacted very quickly, but Master was even faster. The so-called there is no best, only better, this is the truth.
Hehe, Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "It turns out that the master is encouraging me!" ”
Wang Zhongfeng laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If you want to surpass the master, it's not difficult, let alone bother to learn novel tricks." The so-called thousand moves will not be as good as one move, you only need to practice the moves taught by the teacher proficiently, familiar with the heart can forget the hand, the hand can forget the gun, round the spirit without stagnation. If you can get the gun in your heart and get the right place, you will be able to defeat the master. ”
Meng Jiucheng carefully pondered Master's words, and couldn't help but nod again and again.
If you are familiar with the moves, you will be able to move with your heart and hand, and you don't have to think about it, and the speed of reaction and action will be faster. The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken. How classic this sentence is, but what about the big boss of the Fire Cloud Evil God who wears a pull plate!
"The master is very right, and the apprentice understands." Meng Jiucheng suddenly realized, and Wang Zhongfeng was also pleased.
Some marksmanship is thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight, most people also think that more moves are powerful, and only those who realize that they are experts in simplifying the complex and returning to the basics. Because, if a truly effective move can defeat the enemy, one move is enough.
When Meng Jiucheng practiced the gun, he naturally combined the moves coherently, and the guns were familiar with the guns and the guns, as well as the sending and receiving blocks. But after receiving Wang Zhongfeng's guidance, he already realized that it was impossible to practice like this.
Guns have their own uses, some are stabbing heads, piercing the chest, sweeping legs, and some are blocking, winding, blocking, and smashing defense. Oh, no matter what tricks other people use, if you do your own from beginning to end, it won't be a joke.
Therefore, in Meng Jiucheng's understanding, he can still use the eighteen-style marksmanship skillfully and freely, coherently and without flaws, and he can be regarded as breaking through a realm and reaching a new level.
Of course, this must be a bit awkward at first glance. But it can also be seen that he is not familiar with the moves, and his reaction is slow, so he naturally can't resist the master's fast and tricky marksmanship.
Therefore, Meng Jiucheng feels that as long as he perseveres, he will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. If the theory is correct, what is the point of a tortuous road?
…………
In three days, the two groups of people have swept away the armed forces of several surrounding landlords, carried out reorganization, and the management personnel have smoothly taken over the administrative affairs of the villages and towns.
Leaving some men and horses stationed to maintain the implementation of the policy and prevent the landlords who surrendered and surrendered to the soft landlords, Mu Yi and Han Shouzhong led the main force back to Crossroads Town.
Wang Zhongfeng, Zhu Ming, and Xiao Ying also began to help Meng Jiucheng, and the troops left behind in Crossroads Town had begun more formal military training.
The lack of strategy for the generals, the lack of training for the soldiers, and the battle is like a group fight; When you win, you will rush up, and when you lose, you will scatter as birds and beasts...... This may have been a common problem with peasant rebels throughout history, especially in the early days of the uprising.
From its establishment to the present, the Red Turban Army has only been a few months, not even half a year, and several big victories have mostly relied on the power of gunpowder weapons. Meng Jiucheng knows this. Despite strict military discipline and the use of policies as incentives, he felt that it was still far from enough. The lack of qualified officers is the key to this.
Although the problem has not yet been completely resolved, with Wang Zhongfeng, Xiao Ying, Han Shouzhong, and others, the process of regularizing the army can be carried out. If there is a shortage of personnel, time will make up for it, and Meng Jiucheng can only adopt this method.
For the battlefield battle, Meng Jiucheng is still self-aware.
Can you become a famous general by familiarizing yourself with the art of war? I'm afraid it's only a few days to do it; The traverser has the advantage of knowledge, whether it is a scholar of literature or a scholar, in ancient times, he was able to strategize, command, and even win a hundred battles?
Are you kidding? The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, you have no accumulated experience, you have no process of growth, and you can't even tell whether the enemy is a real defeat or a false defeat, where is the main attack, where is the feint, whether it should attack or retreat, and you are blindly commanding?
Meng Jiucheng doesn't think of himself as a genius, although he also expects to become a famous general, but he knows that it takes a process of growth. And the biggest advantage of the traverser is the understanding of the general trend. That is, more suitable to be a strategist.
Let professional people do professional things first! Meng Jiucheng did not give up learning and growing up to become a famous general, but it is more appropriate to hand over the military aspect to Wang Zhongfeng and others. And he, naturally, has a job that belongs to him to do.
"Tong!" With a bang, a black object flew into the air and landed in the distance.
Projectile cannons, flying thunder cannons, and sky-bombing cannons, no matter what the final name is, they are made anyway.
Meng Jiu let out a sigh of relief, watching more than a dozen artillerymen overjoyed, busy recording various data, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It is not difficult to make a flying thunder cannon, but it is not easy to train a qualified operator, that is, an artilleryman. The main reason is that there are very few literate and arithmetic people in the army, and it is not an exaggeration to pick one out of a hundred.
In this regard, Meng Jiucheng can only adopt the method of practice to bring out true knowledge. That is, continuous testing, recording, compiling data such as the weight of the medicine package and the elevation angle of the barrel into a book, and then letting them memorize it by rote.
Of course, Meng Jiucheng also began to adopt a rigid rule to conduct cultural classes in the army for half an hour every day, so as to improve the cultural quality of the entire army. Don't underestimate this measure, which was unique at the time.
