"Yes!"

On the high platform of the school field, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was interested in Houjin, Man Gui also returned the salute, and then said with a serious expression:

"Jianyu, it's my Ming henchman!"

"Tell me more." Yang Lian, who had always been at odds with Qi Jin, was also interested, urging Man Gui, and Man Gui bowed his head, and then explained:

"Unlike the northern captives, they have arable land, mines, ordnance stations, and are very familiar with large-scale warfare."

"No one knows how many soldiers the old slave has, but when he attacked Liaoshen, the number was about 70,000 most of the time, including 60,000 Jurchens and 10,000 Han Chinese."

"Although they don't have firearms, they have vicious arrows."

"The standard has not participated in the big battle with Jianyu, but it can be seen from some small battles that they are very elite and far better than the northern captives."

"Be specific." Qi Jin also frowned and urged, from Man Gui's mouth, he seemed to hear a more real Jianyu.

"Yes!" Seeing that everyone was so interested, Man Gui also said carefully:

"The rebel soldiers and horses are good at finding all the terrain and wind direction that is favorable to them, and often charge down from a high place in the field, and at the same time fire cone-headed armor-piercing arrows in the direction of the wind, in order to maximize the power of the bow and arrow."

"Their style of play is completely to imitate and learn the style of play of the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry."

"Before the battle, the opponent's morale was demoralized by a rain of arrows in dense foot, and then the dead soldiers in triple armor took cover with shield carts to defend against artillery."

"When the shield cart is less than thirty paces away from our army, the dead soldiers will charge together in order to break our formation at once."

"At the same time, their cavalry horses were accustomed to flanking at the beginning of the battle, cutting through the opponent's formation, dividing the enemy, and preparing for the advance of the infantry horses behind."

"Due to the cowardice of the Liao soldiers and the arrears of wages for many years, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Liao Town is not high."

"The rebel soldiers and horses under the old slave saw this, so they must deter the Liao soldiers in the Guannei with the momentum of the barbarians outside the Guanwai in every battle, and among them there is a white-armored Bayala wearing triple armor."

"This group of white-armored bayalas are all marksmen, and they like to hide in the chaos of the army the most, and shoot my Ming generals with a hard bow with a sneak attack, and strive to break the momentum of our army."

"Their arrows are vicious, basically every arrow is aimed at the cheek, and the general soldier of Juniper died under such a sneak attack."

"Therefore, against our army, the rebels will often attack with shield carts first, and then after the shield carts resist our artillery, the dead soldiers will charge, tear apart the formation of our army's front, and then attack the two flanks with cavalry."

"As long as our army's position is slightly disorganized, the white armor bayala hidden in the chaotic army will shoot and kill our generals, so that our army will lose its unified order, and it will be chaotic soon after the start of the war."

"Once such an effect is achieved, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen will fall to the bottom, and then the rout will begin to appear."

"As soon as the rout appears, the rebel soldiers and horses will start to kill the rout from behind and grab the baggage."

"This is the rebel army ...... the capture of the mark"

"What about their formation?" As a general, Qi Jin is more concerned about Jianyu's offensive formation.

A small army or a large army, no matter what kind of army it is, as long as the formation is set, it will basically not change, and the same is true for Jianyu, so Qi Jin asked urgently.

Man Gui faced the inquiry, thought for a while, and replied:

"Their offensive formation is actually the formation of the Jurchens hunting between the white mountains and black waters, that is, they are divided into five squads, the first team is pressed by the dead soldiers, and the second and third teams attack from the left and right, attacking the two flanks of the prey."

"Once the flanks are torn apart, the four and five teams march from the flanks and rear, forming a pocket siege."

"At this time, as long as there is a rout, it will inevitably flee to the vacant rear, and Jianyu can start to strangle."

"However, our army often does not suffer a major defeat in field conflicts with dozens or hundreds of people, but can fight back and forth with the men and horses of Jianjiao."

"I once heard the guerrillas in Liaozhen say that once it grows to thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, our army will often be in disarray, and then begin to rout."

Speaking of this, Man Gui couldn't help but sigh, and Qi Jin also frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for Yang Lian, his face was displeased, thinking that it must be because the generals were greedy for life and afraid of death.

Compared with them, Zhu Youzhen understood the reason in Man Gui's mouth very well.

This reason is that the Ming Dynasty has been in a security war with the Mongols for a long time, and the scale of the battle has been maintained at about a few thousand people on both sides, which has led to the Ming army being unfamiliar with corps combat.

In the battle of 10,000 people and tens of thousands of people, the Ming army will always lose a mess.

There are also many examples of the Ming army defeating the Qing army in field battles in the late Ming Dynasty books.

For example, on the day when Nurhachi attacked Qinghe, He Shixian, a general who rushed to Qinghe's aid, beheaded 151 real captives.

When Nurhachi attacked Tieling, Li Rubai's younger brother Li Ruzhen took He Shixian and others to aid Tieling and beheaded 176 Zhenling.

It can be seen from this that the Ming army was not unable to fight, but without exception it was a skirmish.

In other words, as long as the Ming Dynasty put on a position and gathered tens of thousands of people, or even tens of thousands of people, to fight, it would definitely be defeated.

This kind of strange thing shows that the organization of the Ming army has weakened to an outrageous point, and that the Ming army is almost unsure of how to command a large battle of 80,000 people.

From strategy to logistics, to the control and scheduling of the entire campaign, it is all a piece of paste, and only when a thousand people are not even a small-scale battle, but can only be called a "battle", can the Ming army win.

There is a saying that "there are more people and more chaos, and there are more dragons and drought", and this kind of strange thing happened in the Ming army in the end.

Once there is no such dispatching ability, it will not be able to give full play to the war potential of the Ming Dynasty at all, and finally it will become a refueling tactic like the Liao Shi in history.

Buried in 100,000, then filled with 100,000 new ones, buried again, filled again......

Can't the Ming army fight? Not necessarily, but the Ming army had no reliable command system and organizational ability, and the ability to "run 100,000 soldiers rampant in the desert" disappeared.

In the final analysis, it was the older generation of generals who could command tens of thousands of people to fight died of illness and death, while the new generation of generals did not grow up, resulting in the corruption of the Liao Affair.

There are no famous generals who can command the battle of the large army, so no matter how many elites Zhu Youzhen trains, he can only die in Liaodong.

But only famous generals can't do it, because there are many generals who can command the big army in the late Ming Dynasty in history.

Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are the best among them, and among the remaining generals, there is no chance to show it, but those who dare to lead thousands of troops and tens of thousands of elites collide are Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao and others.

But like the Battle of Songjin commanded by Hong Chengchou, even if there were brave generals such as Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, and Yang Guozhu, they still failed because of the riotous operation of Wang Pu and other pig teammates.

Therefore, if you want famous generals, you must also train a strong army, and put all the famous generals and strong troops together, so that the Ming Dynasty can fight with a large corps.

But the embarrassing thing at the moment is that none of the above-mentioned people have grown up.

At present, among the people that Zhu Youzhen can use, there is no one who has the ability to command a large corps to fight, which is very embarrassing......

"You can't do it on my own......"

Zhu Youzhen's heart suddenly became empty, after all, he was at most a squad leader in his previous life, not to mention the large corps, even the platoon level has nothing to do with him.

But after thinking about it, he really has no one to use.

In this regard, he can only sigh in his heart:

"That's it, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor......"
