The students looked at each other, and the audience quickly fell silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shangguan Xiu said: "Some of you students say that the Zhenjun army is brave and good at fighting and winning a hundred battles, but they don't know that the victories won by the Zhenjun army were exchanged for more than 200,000 casualties. There are also people who say that our country is well prepared, Besa is not well prepared, and was caught off guard, yes, the actual situation is like this, but do you know, even so, even if Besa is not prepared, even if Besa's royal army has been fighting fiercely in Duji and Ningnan for a long time, but our central army has never defeated Bessa's royal army on a frontal battlefield, until the day when the two countries signed a peace treaty and announced an armistice, the central army has paid the price of more than 500,000 casualties. ”

There was no sound in the audience, and the needle drop could be heard. What Shangguan Xiu said was something that the imperial court would never announce to the public, but it sounded so shocking.

The casualties of more than 200,000 of the Zhenjun Army and the more than 500,000 casualties of the Central Army totaled more than 800,000 casualties, which is equivalent to the eight legions being wiped out, and this is still the case when the Beisa Royal Court Army was greatly weakened by the Ningnan Army.

It is conceivable that if the Ningnan Army had not consumed the Besa Royal Army first, the casualties of the Wind Army would not have been more than 800,000 in the end, and it would have been impossible to say whether the Wind Country would have won this national war in the end.

"Why is this happening, is it because my Feng people are not as good at fighting as the Besa people? Or is our army's weapons and equipment inferior to its Besa army? I don't think so, there are two main reasons for this situation, one is that our army enters Besa to fight, and the Besa people may not occupy the time, but they must occupy the geographical advantage and people, and the second is that our army's tactics have fallen behind. ”

"As far as I know, many generals of the Central Army don't even know what the specific firing range of our army's artillery and guns is, and they have to wait until the front of the two armies to temporarily look through the pamphlets to confirm when the artillery should be fired and when the guns should be fired, how can such generals lead their soldiers to win the enemy?"

"The current battlefield has long been the battlefield of firearms, and no one can escape the impact and changes brought about by firearms, but there are still many people who think that firearms are only auxiliaries, and spiritual cultivators are the main force in the army, they don't know about our firearms, and they don't know much about the enemy's firearms, and they can't be defeated if they go into battle with an outdated concept?"

"In order to adapt to the current battlefield, the officers and men of our army must re-understand firearms from top to bottom, and must be proficient in the application of firearms on the battlefield and the corresponding tactical tactics. As far as the teaching of firearms knowledge is concerned, the Lingwu Academy has done very little in this regard, not because it doesn't want to do it, but because no one will do it, after all, firearms have just emerged, and most of the people who are familiar with firearms are fighting on the front line. Because, when I returned to Beijing this time, I decided to set up a military martial arts hall in the Lingwu Academy, and invited the generals and strategists in the army to focus on teaching everyone the knowledge of firearms and related tactics. If there are interested students, they can apply to the school. ”

Shangguan Xiu talked a lot in one breath, first analyzed the shortcomings of his own side in this national war, and then focused on the importance of firearms on the battlefield, and finally, he threw out the shocking news and established a military martial arts hall in Lingwu Academy.

After a moment of silence, the audience seemed to have exploded, and discussions erupted, and soon, many students raised their hands to ask questions. Shangguan Xiu casually nodded to a student who was close to the front desk and raised his hand, and asked, "What's your problem?"

The student stood up and asked, "Excuse me, my lord, will you teach in the military martial arts hall in person?"

"This ......" question, Shangguan Xiu really didn't think about it, and didn't answer it immediately. Seeing this, Gu Shun immediately answered dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency is the secretary of the court, and he is an important minister in the court, how can I give you time to teach......

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "As long as I am in Shangjing, every month, I promise to go to the Military Martial Arts Hall for at least three days to teach." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the students present lit up, and their interest in the military martial arts hall became stronger. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "I also want to tell you a piece of news, all students who have graduated from the military martial arts hall can directly enter the military police reserve, and as long as they pass the assessment of the military police reserve, they can enter the military police." Of course, if you are unwilling to join the gendarmerie, or if you do not pass the examination, you can transfer to other regiments. ”

If just now the students were just eager to try, now the students are in a state of complete frenzy, and people are standing up and shouting, "My lord, I want to sign up, my lord I want to sign up!"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "If you want to participate in the Military Martial Arts Hall, you don't sign up with me, but at the hospital, and the hospital will also score everyone according to their performance on weekdays as a selection standard." The Junwutang has just been established, and the first batch of students enrolled is limited to two hundred. ”

As soon as I heard that there were only two hundred people in the military martial hall, the sighs of disappointment came and went.

At this time, a woman's voice sounded in the audience, saying: "There are only two hundred places, then our students from civilian backgrounds don't need to sign up, and it won't be our turn." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked for prestige, and he really knew the female student who spoke, it was the girl named Tian Caidie. He smiled slightly and said: "In the gendarmerie, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners, and in the military martial arts, there will be no birth threshold, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, all are treated equally, please rest assured of this." As he spoke, he also nodded to Tian Caidie with a smile.

His words made the depressed civilian students suddenly come to their senses, in terms of birth and family background, they could not compare with the aristocratic students in any way, but in terms of ability, they were confident that they would not lose the slightest bit to the aristocratic students.

The students in the audience asked a lot of questions about the military martial arts, and Shangguan Xiu was very patient and took the trouble to answer them one by one. Shangguan Xiu's performance undoubtedly won the favor of many students, and also changed the impression of many students on him.

Finally, he also discussed the battle report with the students.

Just talking about the importance of firearms will not make people too impressive, and directly taking actual combat as an example, it will give students a deeper understanding of firearms.

Shangguan Xiu is talking about the famous Battle of Goro. In this battle, the wind army did not attack Goro City, but completely destroyed the defense line outside Goro City, and this battle between the two sides is also the most typical firearm offensive and defensive battle at the moment.

In the face of the ravines and layers of the enemy's defensive line, the large army advanced on the whole line, which was no longer appropriate, not only the advance speed was slow, but also easy to suffer from the concentrated attack of the enemy's firepower, and it was also easy for the enemy to borrow the defensive line fortifications to encircle.

It has become the standard offensive and defense breaking method of the attacker to advance in unison with corps and battalions as units, attack on separate lines, break through and insert into the enemy's defense line, seize key points in various places, and break up the enemy's defense line from point to point.

In this way, the cooperation between the corps and the battalions is of paramount importance.

Shangguan Xiu asked people to hang a map of Goro on the platform, explaining their various offensive routes, and analyzing where the advantages and weaknesses of the Besa army's defense line were, as well as what were the merits and mistakes of their own attack.

The students in the audience were all holding their breath and paying full attention, listening directly as if they were fascinated. Shangguan Xiu's personal experience of the battle explained the battle report, so that the students had a sense of immersion.

In the past, the Battle of Goro was a string of cold words and data for them, but now listening to Shangguan Xiu's narration and analysis, they really feel that it was a real battle with flesh and blood, sweat and tears.

Only more than 100,000 exhausted Zhenjun troops, who were almost exhausted and almost ran out of ammunition and food, and 100,000 Besa Ducheng troops who were fighting for trapped beasts, the battle was fierce and thrilling.

When people heard that the Zhenjun Army had a lone corps and was deeply encircled, their hearts also rose to their throats, and when they heard that the surrounding corps fought bloodily with the enemy and desperately rushed to the rescue, their hearts were full of excitement and emotion.

When Shangguan Xiu finished the whole battle, the audience applauded thunderously and did not disperse for a long time. At this time, it was past noon, and Shangguan Xiu felt that the time was almost up, and planned to leave. Tian Caidie stood up again in the audience and asked, "My lord, since Goro's outer defense line has been destroyed, why didn't you continue to attack the city at that time?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked rhetorically: "Then you tell me, what is the purpose of our army's attack on Goro, and what is the meaning?"

"When the capital falls, the morale of the Besa army will inevitably plummet, so that our army can crush the main force of the Besa army in the main battlefield in the south and achieve more and greater results!" Tian Caidie Zhengse said: "In the end, my country may annex more than just the northern county. ”

"But the fall of the capital is also very likely to lead to the common hatred of the city-states of Besa, join forces, form a huge coalition of city-states, counterattack our army, this war will continue, three or five years, or even ten or twenty years, even if our country finally wins, the national strength will be completely dragged down. ”

"The adults also said that it is only possible, and it may not really happen. As a commander in the army, you should take it as your responsibility to win battles, not look ahead and look backwards!"

Hearing her questioning, Gu Shun and the others' faces changed, this girl is inevitably too bold and ignorant of the severity, how can she question and accuse adults in public?

Shangguan Xiu was not angry, but was happy, and said: "As the commander in chief, you can't just think about the victory of a battle, but you should take into account the overall situation of the war. ”

Tian Caidie still wanted to continue the debate, but Gu Shun couldn't help but interrupt in a deep voice: "Okay, what the adults said is clear enough, if you still don't understand something, you can go and ask your husband for advice." ”

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the stage, came to Shangguan Xiu, and said with a smile: "My lord, please come here!"

Shangguan Xiu nodded, smiled at Tian Caidie again, and walked off the stage.

Surrounded and escorted by everyone, Shangguan Xiu left the conference hall. His impression of Tian Caidie was very good and profound, and he felt that this little girl was bold enough and had the most basic qualities of being a soldier, as for her thinking that she should defeat Goro at that time, it was just a difference of opinion, which was understandable.
