Chapter 240: Showing you the deer as a horse
"Let's talk about how to fight this battle?" Han Yannian set his eyes on the many officers in front of him.
This is the first time that the new army has actually fought in actual combat, although Han Yannian has indeed thought about it a little more, but there are still many problems that he has not figured out.
Letting King Yanqi come over to chat is just to put some pressure on King Yanqi, and it is also to buffer and give yourself some time to think about tactics.
"General, the most suitable thing for the new army is field warfare, and if you want to fight a siege like this, there seems to be no solution at the moment......
"Yes, General, although the flintlock pistol is powerful, the speed of reloading is also slow, and the process is cumbersome, and it is possible to use multi-person tactics to solve the problem of firepower coverage in field battles, but it is difficult for this tactic to work in siege warfare."
"That's right, once the enemy hides in the shadows and waits for us to get close before attacking, then we are completely finished......"
Everyone said that everyone knew that the new army's melee combat ability was not good, so each of them was equipped with three short soldiers to prevent the enemy from rushing in front of them for close combat.
At the same time, it is also equipped with a large number of grenades or something, so it can be said that the configuration of the new army is tailored for field warfare.
In a real siege war, the new army is not impossible, of course, it is no problem to open the city gate and suppress the enemy or something, but how to fight after rushing in is a huge problem.
After everyone enters the city, basically there is only one chance to shoot every 20 seconds, once the frequency of the enemy's attack is controlled within 20 seconds, the Han army entering the city is completely a lamb to the slaughter, and there is no power to fight back.
Everyone failed to figure out this problem, and Han Yannian also failed to figure it out, and the advantages and disadvantages of the new army were also obvious.
"General, why don't we blow up the city wall with cannonballs first, use cannonballs to deter some enemies, and then send spearmen to suppress and attack the city with short troops?"
"In that case, it's better to gather the short soldiers directly, and one short soldier to protect the other spearman......
"No way!" Han Yannian shook his head directly and said: "Although we can take out up a maximum of 6,000 short soldiers, but siege warfare is the most variable battle, if every city is done like this, even if there are only 100 casualties in one city, we can't afford it now." ”
"As for the infantry to protect the spearmen, it is even worse, the firing of the spearmen takes time, the enemy may not understand at the beginning, but as time goes by, they will gradually react, from the time of firing to the launch, as long as they run back and forth, the hit rate will drop greatly......"
This is also the most embarrassing part of the flintlock pistol, which takes about two or three seconds to fire after pulling the trigger.
And if you want to hit a moving target, the difficulty is obviously greater, and the more terrible thing is the irregular moving target.
Once the opponent has mastered this technique, they can use a variety of cover to fight in urban street battles, without even having to get close to the spearmen.
After entering the siege battle, it means that the spearmen are also within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and if the opponent only uses bows and arrows to attack, then the intention of sending short soldiers to protect the spearmen is meaningless.
Considering the shortcomings of the spearmen, Han Yannian came to the opinion that the spearmen were not suitable for siege, at least for now.
Although Han Yannian had this opinion a few months ago, he was just not willing to admit defeat, so he was still looking for a solution, but he had not been able to find a solution until now.
Maybe there is a solution, but he hasn't thought of it yet.
So, Han Yannian took out a bound book and wrote a paragraph on it.
Spearmen can be used for siege, but for now they should be mainly auxiliary left, and the main force still needs to be cavalry?
"Gather two thousand scouts to return to the camp and prepare for the siege!" Han Yannian immediately commanded.
He did not intend to use the infantry in his regular army, which was the lifeblood of the spearmen, and once these infantry were lost, the spearmen would face a great threat.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Han Yannian will never use these infantry.
Fortunately, he received more than 2,000 troops from Li Guangli before, although the number was not too much, but it was more than enough to capture Yuanqu City.
Of course, Han Yannian didn't let them just do this dryly.
Since it is military training, it is necessary to achieve the purpose of military training, even if it is to test tactics, he will carry it out absolutely seriously.
Although the old troops under Li Guangli lost the battle, they are still valuable Han troops here, and Han Yannian is not so extravagant that he can not take human life as his life.
"The whole army advances at a uniform speed, and after the artillery enters the firing range, priority is given to the artillery bombardment of the city gate, and after the city gate is opened, the city gate is the center, and the city walls within a hundred and fifty steps on both sides are suppressed by fire, covering the infantry to enter the city quickly and with low losses!"
"After the infantry enters the city, immediately clear an area, the spearmen are stationed under the city to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, send 200 infantry to the city wall to assist the spearmen in combat, the spearmen must clear the city wall as quickly as possible, and when they encounter a corner or a place with cover, either let the infantry rush up first to confirm, or directly throw a grenade to open the way, the open area is dominated by spearmen, and the narrow area is dominated by infantry."
"After occupying the city wall, the spearmen are condescending, suppressing the enemy in the city, and assisting the infantry in the left city to fight!" Han Yannian immediately decided.
This set of tactics was considered by him as early as when he realized that the spearmen could not carry out siege operations alone, although they had not been in actual combat, but they had simulated it countless times in his mind.
The narrow, but straight, walls of the city wall were obviously more suitable for spearmen, and he could even fire two guns at the same time if he wanted to.
In such an environment, as long as the spearmen were allowed to climb the walls, there would be no threat to any enemy within a hundred and fifty paces.
Even if there is a corner, even if there is a cover, he is not afraid to worry at all, and the grenade is the perfect existence to solve this problem.
Anyway, according to Han Yannian's calculations, his set of tactics should be how to fight, how to fight, how to fight, how to fight.
It's a pity that there is no siege war in the Han Dynasty to train them and explore experience, so this set of tactics has been simulated hundreds of times in his mind and he has not been able to find a chance to test it in actual combat.
And the current Yanqi is obviously a good training ground, the city is not big, and the defenders are not many.
Even if his tactics were not very effective, he could still rely on the infantry to take them down, and here, Han Yannian had enough room for trial and error.
……
"General, why don't you listen to persuasion......
"The Huns are now ruthless, killing people at every turn, and killing all the disobedient people."
"Actually, Xiao Wang has already seen you, general, but he thinks that the number of troops you are carrying is not much, so he reminded you to go south and pass through directly, so as not to be targeted by the Huns."
"Xiao Wang also knows that it is not easy for you to come here, general, but the pressure exerted by the Huns on Xiao Wang is also not small, not to mention the surplus food in the country now, even a normal life has to be tight to barely enough."
"But please rest assured, from now on, Xiao Wang will only eat one meal a day, and he will have to save you this food, but it will take time, general, or you will continue to march west with the troops first?" Xiao Wang will find a way to raise the food, and when you come back, I will hand over the food to you, which should be enough for you to return to the Han Dynasty......" As soon as King Yanqi appeared, he instantly turned into a licking dog, without the appearance of being powerful and domineering before.
The sorrow of a small country is not that he doesn't want to be tough, but that the Han army has already arrived in the city.
Even if there are fewer people who come this time than the last time, it is still a big mountain for Yanqi, and the Han army doesn't even need to use all his strength, and his country will be easily wiped out.
Therefore, King Yanqi can only use his own wisdom to try to solve the current crisis.
Han Yannian looked at King Yanqi with a smile on his face, this dog thing is not a good person.
Your messenger has already contacted the Huns, right?
Hurry up and coax me away, so that the war between the Han army and the Xiongnu takes place in someone else's country, so that Yanqi can avoid suffering from the war, and if the 20,000 Han army is targeted by the Huns, the probability of survival is basically not large.
So, is your food saved for the devil to eat?
Just your little calculation?
General Ben may have believed it before following His Highness, but now......
Hehe!
"What? You can't stand the oppression of the Huns, you want to lead your troops to join the Han, and you want to pray for the protection of the Han? Han Yannian's brows furrowed, so he said: "I don't have the right to agree to this matter, but you can repair a letter, and I will immediately send someone to send the letter back to Chang'an, presumably Your Majesty will not refuse your ......"
King Yanqi: ???
I'll let you go, and you let me lead my troops to join Dahan?
There's no smell of alcohol on this body, why are you still talking nonsense?
"Well, General, did you hear me wrong? Xiao Wang didn't say that......"
"Huh?" Han Yannian didn't care what King Yanqi thought in his heart, what he was thinking about now was to find something to train his troops, and at the same time re-establish the majesty of the Han people, so as to tell everyone that the Han people were invincible, so Han Yannian turned his head to look at his subordinates behind him, and wondered: "Didn't King Yanqi say it just now?" Did Ben hear it wrong? ”
"No, King Yanqi just said that he wants to join the Han......
"That's right, King Yanqi also said that you should help him say more good things about the general......"
Of course, his subordinates know what kind of calculation Han Yannian is playing, the offensive deployment has already been arranged, and now just wait for an order, if this can make you fool the past, then I will go to find a tough battle as the first battle?
The battle was not fought like that, so no matter how King Yanqi answered today, I am afraid that this battle will be inevitable.
Although this time is considered an unwarranted disaster for Yanqi, in the midst of the confrontation between major powers, isn't it normal for small countries to suffer unjustified disasters?
"Look, everyone here hears it, do you think Ben is going to be a bully? Or do you think that the big man is nothing in your eyes? ”
Han Yannian stared at King Yanqi with an angry face, and the other party who looked at it was directly furious in his heart, so he continued.
"Ben will be kind enough to help you resist the Huns, but you are joking with Ben General, today Ben Jiang will put the words here, anyone who dares to humiliate the Han, Ben will not let him go, today Ben will let you see the true strength of the Han!"
"Someone, pass on the general's order, immediately attack Yuanqu City, if you can't take it in half an hour, everyone will be punished!" Detected your latest reading progress as "Chapter 82: How can you be comfortable without working hard"
