Chapter 1285: Military Theory
In addition, the war researchers are mainly concentrated in the hands of the Psychic Hall and the Seven Guilds, which have the most psionic resources, and for them, it is more in their interest to further develop the magic wall, and they have no incentive to develop a new defense system.
The leader's lack of attention has led to the fact that the psionic car has not been able to enter the field of war and shine as it did in its previous life.
But gold, always shines. Now, the Yuwen family has paid attention to the application of psionic cars on the battlefield. I believe that it will not be long before you can see a war scene similar to the previous life in the Shining Continent: the torrent of steel. ”
Carey's analysis directly captures the essence of war: destroy the enemy and preserve yourself. The reason why infantry armor has not been developed is because it is not believed that it is worth making expensive armor for those cheap infantry.
So, what caused Ubun Nobunaga to start paying attention to the defense of the infantry?
Gu Tiancheng himself attaches great importance to the defense of soldiers, and he even has a plan that in the future, if he wants to lead soldiers, soldiers should be armed to the teeth. War can burn money exceedingly, but there are often few dead people. This is the mode of war in Gu Tiancheng's mind.
But he also knew that no one else could agree with his philosophy. It is impossible for those people to accept the consumption of huge amounts of money for soldiers who are available everywhere.
Gu Tiancheng didn't expect them to understand and accept it, anyway, Gu Tiancheng had the ability to make a lot of money. Since the money is their own, of course those people can't control how they spend it.
Gu Tiancheng believed that Yuwen Nobunaga should belong to those people, and it was impossible to agree with his own ideas, so why did he favor the new war darling of infantry fighting vehicles?
Yubun Nobunaga apparently liked the atmosphere of discussion, and his spirits were lifted, and he began to use the cups and plates on the table to set up the battlefield.
"It is a common practice on the battlefield to concentrate the elite troops on hand to make key breakthroughs at one point. I command battles and am passionate about it. Even, I personally led the team to make breakthroughs. The results are often brilliant.
But after more experience, I realized the problem: this is a tactical arrangement, and no matter how strong it is, it cannot be elevated to a strategic level. In other words, no matter how well you use your elite strategy, you will win at most one battle, and you are still far from winning one battle, or even one war.
The reason is very simple, the reason why elite soldiers are elite soldiers cannot be very numerous. It's easy to break through the enemy's lines. But it is also limited to a breakthrough, and it cannot stabilize a large position after the breakthrough.
If I am a battlefield commander and the enemy uses elite tactics to break through on the battlefield, I can't stop his elite troops from breaking through, but I can send ordinary 100 or 1,000 troops to follow them and make up for the holes in the battle line as soon as possible. Just prevent the opposing army's large forces from following. A breakthrough of the enemy's elite troops will not pose much of a threat.
In order to achieve a fundamental victory, it is necessary to ensure that the ordinary corps can keep up with the breakthrough speed of the elite soldiers, closely follow the elite soldiers, and do not give the opponent time to make up for the loopholes. Only in this way can we firmly control the breakthrough in our hands.
But this is easier said than done. The reason why elite soldiers have been able to break through and succeed again and again is because they have poured too many resources into them: the best war horses, the best armor, the best weapons, and even require a spiritual cultivation level. None of the above points can be popularized on a large scale among ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, even if ordinary soldiers can keep up, after all, they are deep into the opponent's front, and the replenishment is of course faster than the other party. Moreover, in order to prevent the battle line from being breached, the opponent must fight back with all his might, and if there is not enough defensive strength, it is impossible to withstand it.
In the case that there are not many soldiers following up, and they need to have strong defense, even the previous elite soldiers are not up to this task.
To do this, it is necessary to have mobile forts and turrets, both of which are indispensable. In this regard, the tank perfectly fulfills both of these points.
Therefore, I boldly predict that whoever successfully uses chariot tactics on the battlefield in the future will become a peerless general and will go down in history forever. And whichever kingdom uses chariot tactics first will most likely establish an empire of its own. ”
Yuwen Nobunaga analyzed this, even if some people did not understand military affairs before, they understood the mystery. It was Gu Tiancheng who also benefited a lot from this speech.
Originally, the war in Gu Tiancheng's eyes was not complicated, he took a few helpers of the saint rank to mess up the enemy's rear, and even assassinated the local generals, making a mess of the other party, and the rest was to push the troops flat.
Unexpectedly, Yubun Nobunaga has such a deep attainment in tactical research. This alone made Gu Tiancheng have to admire.
"Since the chariot is so good, why don't you Da Zhou use it first?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.
Yuwen Nobunaga said: "The current limitations of the chariot to be used on the battlefield are still relatively large, and it is much more difficult. The first is the problem of the tank itself, which is still not well resolved. Not to mention the high energy consumption of the psionic engine, its unique motor sound tells the enemy the direction of attack on their side.
Despite its many advantages, it is difficult to achieve good results even when the opponent is in full swing.
Vehicles are demanding in the environment and cannot be used anywhere. The enemy's heavily fortified areas are often easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the chariots cannot be effective. If you forcibly bring a chariot, it will be a great burden to logistics, and it is easy to expose the direction of the march.
The most important thing is that the chariot needs to consume a lot of psionic energy, and the lack of technological breakthroughs in the mobile psionic energy library makes it difficult for the chariot to be used on the battlefield. But I believe that as long as there is a need, these problems will eventually be satisfactorily resolved, thus paving the way for the chariot to go to the battlefield. ”
"Who hasn't seen a psionic car, and it's not very spiritual. Li Changqing said with a smile.
Yubun Nobunaga said, "The psionic cars you have seen are used for running on the streets of the city. I'm talking about chariots, which require thicker armor, more horsepower, and no order of magnitude. ”
"Is there a finished chariot? I can't help but want to see it when I hear you respect it so much. Sima Xin smiled.
Yuwen Nobunaga nodded and said, "Yes, the finished product in my hand is not perfect enough, and it can't go to the battlefield yet." Gu Tiancheng is also a master of handicraft production, and he has learned a lot of skills from the Tang Sect, so I just intend to ask Gu Tiancheng to help guide me or two. ”
Gu Tiancheng hurriedly humbled himself. Sima Xin asked curiously: "Do you also know about stealing art from the Tang Sect? ”
Yuwen Nobunaga said: "I have seen Gu Tiancheng's craftsmanship, and I have also seen the craftsmanship of the Tang Sect. After Gu Tiancheng resolved the grievances with the Tang Sect, there was a shadow of the Tang Sect's craftsmanship in his craft. So I boldly guessed that Gu Tiancheng must have learned something in contact with the Tang Sect. ”
