"Is there a way to crack it?" , Dragon Thirteen asked.

I saw Zhuang Zigu lowering his head and thinking for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Long 13 smiled, "I have some solutions."

"Oh?"

"According to what Zigu said, this Jiannu is both brave and disciplined, can fight to the death without retreating, plus both foot and horse, it is really difficult to defeat, but as long as it is human, there is a weakness."

"Jiannu's bannerman was able to hunt large beasts on the mountain alone at a young age, in addition to courage and daring, it was more about martial arts, and in the face of these fierce beasts whose physical abilities were much higher than that of humans, it was obviously impossible to do it with courage and strength alone."

"Only martial arts and skills, plus weapons, are the way to win"

"Courage and discipline, we and other Han people can also be trained, but even if they are trained, they are still not opponents in the face of bannermen who all have martial arts."

"So there is only a battle formation, and according to Zigu, Jiannu has learned the various battle formations of the Ming army because he has been mixed with the Ming army for a long time, plus the battle formation that they realized when they went out hunting collectively, this battle formation is actually no less than that of the Han people."

Speaking of this, Long Thirteen suddenly thought of something.

"If Qi Jiguang was born at the moment, facing a strengthened version of Jiannu that combines the grassland tribes, fishing and hunting tribes, and the martial arts and courage of the Japanese slaves, I am afraid that he will be at a loss, not to mention that when Nurhachi takes Liaoyang and Shenyang, the firearms of the Han people are also owned by him, and the Mandarin Duck Array will be helpless."

So he continued: "Only by creating a new formation, a new formation that can defend against both cavalry and Jiannu's superior infantry army, can resist one or two, and then place the appropriate firearms in the right place, then there will be a few more chances of victory."

Zhuang Zigu said: "It is said in the Di newspaper that the big boss has a new formation that combines pikemen and firecrackers, which is quite effective against our army, is this the formation?"

Long Thirteen nodded, "It's just an initial one, my big array has just been established for less than half a year, and the soldiers are all new soldiers, if you give me another year or two, combined with the new cavalry, you will be invincible in the world!"

"New cavalry?" , Zhuang Zigu asked, "Is it the kind of tactics that ignores the cavalry and blindly greets the war horses?"

Long Thirteen also sneered, "Didn't you see my cavalry's cavalry projectiles more accurate than others when you fought me? Also, there are projectiles on the foot, and there are javelins on about ten, and when they get closer, they can kill horses and assassinate cavalry, isn't this an innovation?"

In fact, in the minds of Dragon Thirteen, if the flintlock short gun can be developed, combined with projectiles and javelins, it will be truly invincible in the world!

It's a pity that he has never had a stable place for him to develop calmly, although he has been in Lingshi County for a long time, but his energy is focused on making arquebuses, armor, and cold weapons, and he has no spare strength to develop flintlock pistols.

Later generations look at the crossing, often "a flintlock pistol out, then the world is decided", now it seems really funny, flintlock pistol is naturally more convenient than arquebus, because it is at least less arquebus, fire sickle, velvet and other things, but due to the strength of the spring steel, the flint between the faucet has a considerable probability of hitting the primer pool can not ignite the primer.

Although the arquebus is cumbersome, as long as the weather is beautiful, the probability of igniting the primer is 100% after the faucet holding the burning arquebus falls into the primer pool!

But the flintlock is different, even if it only has a seventy percent shot rate, because it is fired at close range, its hit rate is obviously better than that of the javelin, and the opponent cannot stop it.

Projectile + javelin + flint short gun + early horse killing is the only magic weapon to deal with the Jiannu cavalry.

As for the Jiannu infantry army, the Spanish phalanx + artillery is also the only magic weapon.

Any other battle formation was nothing to worry about for them.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were the last powerful army in the era of cold weapons, which can be seen from its repeated victories against the Dzungars and Kazakhs, who were already heavily armed with firearms.

(The Qing Dynasty exterminated the Dzungars, exterminated the Kazakhs, and made the Yarkand Khanate, which was helpless by the Ming army, become an official province of China

point, it can be comparable to Han and Tang)

You must know that the Dzungars and Kazakhs are no less than the Jurchens in cavalry

Of course, this was only his initial idea, but it was this idea that made Zhuang Zigu, who was born in Liaodong, ponder.

After a while, Zhuang Zigu asked: "Great master, a young and handsome man like you, why bother to be a ......, why not accept the imperial court's recruitment, with your ability, you can become a general soldier, and then go to Liaodong to fight with Jiannu, you can not only make meritorious achievements, but also promote the outside of the Saiwai, why not?"

Long 13 shook his head, "I am a thief, I can naturally recruit, train, and fight according to my ideas, if I become the chief soldier of the Ming army, the food and salary are controlled in the hands of civilian officials, and from time to time you will stumble, wear small shoes, and the food and salary cannot be guaranteed to be paid in full and in time to the officers and soldiers."

"No matter how good the ideas and means are, they are useless."

"You also know that when Li Chengliang was in Liaodong in the past, the entire Liaodong was actually the fief of him and his generals, and the current Liaodong is not the fief of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang?!"

"Besides, in Shanxi and Henan, eighty percent of the land is not in the hands of the people, but in the hands of the vassal kings, gentry, and wealthy merchants.

"People, if they can't live anymore, who rarely rebels? Not long ago, most of the rebels in northern Shaanxi accepted Zhao'an, but unfortunately the disaster relief silver, grain seeds, and cattle distributed by the imperial court could not reach the rebels at all, so they had no choice but to continue to rebel."

"Besides, I only took a few prefectures and counties in Shanxi, and I seized hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of stone grains, and it is said that the imperial court has caused a sharp decline in the combat strength of the border army because of the lack of pay and food, if I become the emperor, if I don't say anything else, I will be able to drive the Jiannu back to the deep mountains and old forests if I don't say anything else, and I will be able to drive the Jiannu back to the deep mountains and old forests!"

"Not to mention the more affluent Jiangnan region, Daming, it's not that there is no money and grain, but that the money and grain are not in the hands of the state, but in the hands of the vassal kings, gentry, and giants who have nothing to contribute to the country!"

"Hehe, especially those civil officials, all of them are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are all hypocrites who are fake public and private, damage the public and private interests, and fight against the same party."

"Besides, there are Jiannu in the northeast and north of the Ming Dynasty, Hudun Rabbit Khan in the northwest, and Dongjiang Town rebels in Shandong.

"I guess you've also heard that my Xiaoqiang Brigade is a team of ordinary people, in order to let the common people have food, clothing, and housing for generations to come......

"Hehe", I saw Zhuang Zigu sneering, "At the beginning of this dynasty, Emperor Taizu also thought so, what was the result?"

Long Thirteen also smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see!"

Then he looked at him again, "I seldom say these things to others, even my brothers, and for now I can only say that, okay, go or stay, whatever you want."

"Really?"

Hearing Zhuang Zigu's words, Long Shisan's heart was faintly disappointed, but he still didn't change his face, "Naturally it's true, you can get out of this big camp now, Xiaohu!"

Long Xiaohu is a student of martial arts in Lingshi County, although Long Thirteen accepted Long Xiaoju and Long Xiaohu, but obviously it was not indiscriminate, Long Xiaoju is the same as Omubu, he is a Mongolian who can speak Chinese, and admires Han culture, and Long Xiaohu is a martial arts student who can read and write.

Such a person is obviously more promising than others.

"Yes!"

"You return Zhuang Zigu's iron spear and meteor hammer to him, and give him another war horse."

At this time, Long Shisan also figured it out, "I am in the simulator world, and my subordinates Bai Wenxuan, Li Zhanchun and others just have less experience, and over time, the various assignments may not be able to reach the level of Zhuang Zigu, not to mention, these people are all cultivated by themselves, and they have a greater sense of achievement."

Thinking of this, he stood up and made a "please" gesture with his left hand.

Zhuang Zigu hesitated.

Let's be honest

Words, people like him are not very firm about whether they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, if he is still in the Ming army, then naturally there is no second word, but when he listened to Long Thirteen's words, he had another thought in his heart.

Of course, he obviously wouldn't bow his head just because he heard Long Thirteen's words, but was attracted by Long Thirteen's "new battle array", "new tactics", and "wait and see".

However, he was rescued by Sun Chengzong, and he also stayed by Sun Chengzong's side for a long time, and under Sun Chengzong's care, he walked all the way to the road of a senior general of the Ming Dynasty.

Eventually, he was gone.

This time, Long Thirteen did not have the slightest regret.

Just said a word before Zhuang Zigu left.

"Remember, the next time I see you, it's either you dead or I'll live!"

On the third day after Zhuang Zigu left, the brothers Wang Ziqi and Wang Ziyu on the Yellow River also came, and Long Shisan was overjoyed, although his army was waiting for the Yellow River to freeze, but if there were people and boats who were proficient in water operations as an auxiliary, it would be better.

A few days later, news came.

"The big boss, the remnants of the gods, led by the Red Army friends and Li Busi, have arrived on the other side of Hejin County, with thousands of people, followed by the new Shaanxi commander-in-chief He Huchen."

Long Thirteen nodded, "Let it attack in the nearby mountains, the Yellow River has not yet been frozen, and it will be in vain to come."

As a result, the Xiaoqiang Brigade was stationed near Anyi County.

Recently, except for the news that Cao Wenzhao's troops went south to occupy Huozhou, the situation in Pingyang Fucheng, Zelu Erzhou, and southern Gyeonggi has not changed much.

But Ryujushi knew that "the calmer it is, the more it portends a big risk."

"I kept Anyi County and didn't fight, didn't it just for this day? According to the current situation of the official army, the troops they can draw are also in Dengzhou, if they use the strategy of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, replace the besieging battalion soldiers with the guards from all over the country at night, and transfer Zu Dabi's cavalry, Deng Xi's white pole soldiers, as well as Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Mou Wenshou, and Chen Hongfan here, it will still be a bit challenging."
