Zhang Yu?

What did he do when he suddenly saw me?

Su Yang pressed the doubts in his heart, got up and followed the armor to the depths of the West Mountain.

There were about 25,000 people in the three guards of Yanshan, only a few of them were responsible for guarding the minerals and supervising the mining of prisoners on death row, while most of the soldiers continued to train and prepare to rebel.

And the area that Su Yang and the others are responsible for is only the workshops at the foot of the mountain, and the two sides can be said to have no contact with the river water, and there is no contact.

So now Zhang Yu took the initiative to meet Su Yang, and Su Yang said that he couldn't understand it.

Soon the two came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Su Yang walked in to see that only Zhang Yu was here.

Compared with Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan, who were at their peak, Zhang Yu was much older.

This is a majestic man with gray temples and a beard, and the kind of temperament on his body that ordinary people can't imitate.

Even though he is no longer young, he is still a sharp blade that can cut through the wind and snow, and he is the general in the army that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, relies on the most!

"Grass people Su Yang, I've seen General Zhang!"

"Su Gongzi is polite, please take a seat!"

When Zhang Yu heard the title of "grass people", the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He had already learned from the son Zhu Gaochi that Su Yang did not know that he was the son-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Then it's a lot more interesting!

"General Zhang, dare to ask, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, the palace sent someone to ask how the anthracite production is progressing."

"Oh, I see!" Su Yang didn't think much about it, and directly retold the plan that Fang had just told Guo You and Lu Xiong.

Zhang Yu nodded after hearing this, and recognized Su Yang's business plan.

It's just that there is no more topic between the two, and they are silent for a long time.

Until Su Yang was a little impatient and was about to get up and leave, Zhang Yu asked abruptly.

"Su Gongzi, I heard that Emperor Taizu Gao left three lines of defense, and it was from Su Gongzi's mouth?"

Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

"It's just a little speculation, and it shouldn't be true!"

"Su Gongzi is humble."

It's really him!

Zhang Yu's heart shook!

At first, he didn't care about the so-called "three lines of defense" when he heard this, but after he looked at Da Ming Kanyu and pondered it carefully, the more he pondered, the more he felt a little taste.

Zhang Yu is a veteran general in the army who has fought all his life, and it is naturally not difficult to see from his strategic vision that the theory of these three lines of defense is very likely to be true!

After all, Emperor Taizu Gao was heartbroken for the Ming Dynasty, so it is not impossible to leave three lifelines for future generations.

But there are many generals in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many famous generals who followed Emperor Taizu Gao's southern expedition to the north, even they didn't see through this, but it was Su Yang, a "grass people", who saw through it, which brought Zhang Yu a shock!

Therefore, Zhang Yu had a rare opportunity, so he invited Su Yang to come and meet, hoping to observe this virtuous son-in-law of Lord Yan.

"I don't know what Master Su thinks of the general trend in the world?"

Su Yang: "???"

What do you think?

Look with your eyes!

You are a famous general, what are you asking me for?

Su Yang felt a little bitter in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have said this in the first place.

He just wants to be a low-key person, but someone has taken a fancy to his talent!

"General Zhang, the general trend of the world has its own big people who care, the kid is just a market child, how dare he talk about the general trend of the world?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu frowned and stared at Su Yang coldly.

Seeing this, Su Yang's heart suddenly lifted, and he faced a famous general in the army, this pressure was inevitably too great!

Seeing that Zhang Yu's face was gradually gloomy, Su Yang secretly complained bitterly, so he could only change his words in a hurry.

"There are some immature ideas!"

"Oh?" Zhang Yu removed his sharp gaze, "Master Su, but it's okay to say it!" ”

Say you're uncle!

If it weren't for you being Zhang Yu, Lao Tzu wouldn't have served a long time ago!

Su Yang secretly slandered for a moment and considered the wording.

"What does General Zhang think of firearms?"

"Firearms?" Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head.

"Most of the firearms in the army are mainly copper guns and bowl guns left by Meng Yuan, but these guns are also firearms, the operation is numb and the range is very short, the main thing is that they can hear a sound and scare people."

Zhang Yunai is a veteran general in the army, and he naturally understands firearms, but he doesn't attach much importance to firearms.

The reason is simple, the lethality of firearms is really okay, but the operation is too cumbersome, and the range is too short!

For example, the bronze fire gun requires two launchers to be responsible for aiming and igniting respectively, but it is very inconvenient for two people to use a musket.

After firing once, the gunpowder needs to be reloaded, and a projectile such as a stone, iron, copper, or lead bullet is inserted before being ignited and fired.

At this time, the Mongolian Iron Cavalry would have killed you a long time ago and chopped off your head with a knife!

As for those guns, not only are they more cumbersome to operate, but the range is also a little distance.

The most important thing is that there is a risk of firearms exploding!

As a result, the enemy did not hit, and the artillery blew up first, killing his own people!

For these reasons, many soldiers are reluctant to use firearms.

Although the Ming army was also equipped with firearms, the use rate was pitifully low.

The soldiers are still accustomed to fighting the enemy with real swords and guns, you cut me, I will give you a sword!

Even if you die, you don't want to use firearms against the enemy, for fear that you will not be killed by the enemy, but will be killed and injured by the fire gun in your hand!

After listening to Zhang Yu's complaint about firearms, Su Yang was not surprised.

In this current era, firearms have indeed developed poorly, far less than in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and gradually transitioned to firearms.

In the final analysis, it is because of quality, not because of technology, but because of manufacturing.

Zhang Yu looked at Su Yang with some suspicion, and subconsciously asked, "Is Su Gongzi very interested in firearms?"

Su Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just that there are some immature ideas."

"For example, select a group of smart soldiers from the army to practice the use of firearms and reform their combat methods."

"Although there are still many problems with firearms, firearms also have many advantages, first of all, they are far more powerful than bows and arrows, and their range is longer than that of bows and arrows."

"And a qualified fire commander, as long as he is not a fool, at most only one month of training is enough, some people with fast brains and flexible hands and feet can go to the battlefield in only four or five days, and at the same time, the fire commander does not have high physical requirements for soldiers, teenagers can operate, but if you want to train a qualified crossbowman, it takes more time and energy."

Hearing Su Yang's words, Zhang Yu nodded subconsciously.

I have to admit that firearms do have natural advantages over bows and arrows.

"As for the way the gunners fight, why can't they shoot in sections?"

"For example, the team is divided into three columns, the gun is moving, one person has a gun, the first team is responsible for shooting, the second team is responsible for loading gunpowder, etc., the third team is responsible for adjusting the arquebus, etc., the first team will hand over the gun to the second team after shooting, the second team will hand over the processed gun to the first team, and then clean up and load the gun after the fire is handed over to the third team, and the third team will adjust the arquebus to the second team, and at the same time start to adjust the arquebus and other operations for the new gun, and so ......on."

Or maybe the team is also divided into three columns, and the guns move with the people, one gun per person. After the first team finished shooting, it retreated to the position of the original third team and began to reload and other operations, and the third and second teams moved forward. The second team becomes the first team and then aims and shoots, and so on......"

"The operation is troublesome, and the interval between firing is long, so use multi-stage strikes to shorten the interval between shots, and if the shooting accuracy is poor and misses people, then cover the ...... with dense firepower"

Su Yang was still talking about his experience, but the more Zhang Yu listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became!

Su Yang's words seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him!

So this battle can still be fought like this?

What a genius this kid is!
