Chapter 317 Jianlu’s tactics

In the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen sat on his throne. Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi stood below, discussing the matter of the new army.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zu Dashou and said, "One of your official titles is the Chief Instructor of the Capital Advanced Martial Arts Lecture Hall. Although there is nothing formal to do at the moment. However, the new army is about to be established, and I plan to establish it in the new army first." Jingshi Junior Martial Arts Lecture Hall.”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he finally expected this news. Although it was not yet a senior martial arts training hall, with the junior level, could the senior level be far behind? Thinking this, he felt happy and listened carefully to the emperor's words.

Regarding the martial arts training hall, Mao Yuanyi had never heard of it before, but he was responsible for teaching the new army, so he was particularly concerned about it. How would this primary martial arts training hall that the emperor mentioned be used in the new army?

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The current imaginary enemy of the New Army is the Jianlu in Liaodong. Therefore, I plan to train the New Army to target the Jianlu in Liaodong. Zu Qing himself was a general in Liaodong, and he has many friends with the Jianlu. In this battle, please tell me about the battle of Jianlu in Liaodong!"

It was natural for Zu Dashou not to agree to the emperor's request. After thinking for a moment, he took a precaution and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the general will carry it out in detail. It's just that time is short, so I'm afraid there will be omissions."

"It doesn't matter, just say as much as you can, and then go back and supplement it and compile it into a volume for the training of the new army!" Emperor Chongzhen comforted with a smile.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou glanced at Mao Yuanyi and said slowly: "The most commonly used Jianlu tactics are for cavalry detachments to take turns attacking our Ming army's formation."

"The details are to build captives and defeat the enemy. First, climb high and look into the distance, assess the terrain, detect the enemy's situation, and take advantage of the chaos. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the cavalry should lightly break into the enemy's formation and only move after the first charge. Then, regardless of the number of people, drive straight in. Even though our army is numerous, we cannot support it. If we don't move, the front team will cross over, and the second team will charge again. If we can't advance again, the rear team will do the same."

"There are many ways to fight during a confrontation." Zu Dashou said, as if he was lost in memories, and continued to introduce slowly. "First, when Jianqiu approaches the battle, it is a moment of delay to deploy troops to the left, right and rear. When the troops are united in four directions, the last one to arrive will make a sound, and all sides will respond with force, and they will collide at once. This is all four sides. The method is to encircle and attack together!"

"Second, build a bandit on the arm of the prisoner, dismount and shoot. If you hit Dy in one step, both sides will collapse. If you collapse, there will be chaos. From the chaos, you will rush in. If Dy is seen, he will ride on a frown, and then he will station behind and gallop to meet the enemy. . This is to dismount and shoot on foot. After our army is in chaos, we can attack on foot and on horseback."

"Third, if our army has a strong wall and fails to build a captive army, then it will drive cattle or whip horses to stir up the ground and break the army formation, then it will definitely win! This is to drive cattle and stir up horses. Formation!"

Emperor Chongzhen understood clearly that these were all ways to break through the Ming army's formation, and there were many tricks.

"Fourth, if our troops are outside with halberds and halberds, and the horses are not allowed to rush forward, and the captives are surrounded by horses and sparse sentries, they will fire an arrow every now and then to make our troops work. If the stalemate lasts for a long time, they will go on hunger strike or lack of pay, and they will not be able to move. Then advance troops to force each other. This is a long-term stalemate, and we will attack again when our army is tired!"

"Fifth, build the captives or drive them down, let them be defeated, take advantage of our army's exhaustion, attack with the elite; or just fight, pretend to go north, abandon the baggage, so throw yellow and white, our army may be said to be defeated , chasing the north without stopping, attacking the ambush cavalry, and often all of them are killed. This is to drive the prisoners into the formation, or to pretend defeat to lure the enemy, and also to break our army's formation!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Jianlu did everything he could on the battlefield. As long as they can break through the Ming army's formation, they can use any method, no matter whether they are humane or not. This is obviously in line with the nature of war. Such an enemy is indeed beyond the capabilities of the frontier army at this time.

While he was thinking about this, Zu Dashou continued to introduce: "Sixth, if our army formation has already moved and we are building captives, we will not rush in. Wait until I am tired, and then charge in; if we build captives and there are few soldiers, then we will attack first." Sprinkle the soil, then use wood to drag it, causing the dust to rise to the sky and the earth. When our army meets the suspicious soldiers, they will always collapse. If they don't collapse, they will charge, and they will be defeated. This is a suspicious strategy and a bluff!"

"..."

"Because of his defeat, he can win by clever tactics. It just depends on the vertical and horizontal positions between the enemy and the enemy. There are things that are not mentioned in the ancient law. If he wins, he will attack and kill the enemy, and there will be no room for complacency. If he loses, he will scatter in all directions and be unable to catch up." Zu Zu. After Dashou finished summarizing, he was deeply moved and was speechless for a long time.

The others did not speak immediately after hearing this. They were all carefully understanding the tactics of building captives introduced by Zu Dashou. For a moment, Wuying Palace became quiet.

After a while, it was Emperor Chongzhen who broke the silence and said: "If we build the captives like this, I am afraid that if we have the existing army of the Ming Dynasty, we will have no rivals!"

After hearing this, Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi looked up at him without saying a word. The meaning is clear. Naturally, I agree with the emperor's opinion, but it's just hard to say it out.

There are only a thousand or two thousand captives, and if there are strong generals like Lu Xiangsheng or Cao Wenzhao, it will be fine, or you can give them a fight. But in reality, Jianlu's army was larger than that of any town on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Jianlu can defeat the few with more troops, and they are an elite division. Even Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others may not be able to win in a regular battle.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that if he did not appear, according to the development of history, the defeat of the Ming army every time would be reasonable.

With this thought in mind, he frowned and asked, "Master Zu, according to your estimate, what will happen if our Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty fights against Jianlu?"

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou was startled for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the soldiers who built the army are equivalent to the servants of our army. For example, the general soldiers of Jinzhou only have two thousand servants under their command."

This means that when the two armies are fighting, it cannot be based on the total number. In fact, it must be based on the ratio of the number of servants of the Ming army to the total number of captives. In this way, it is obvious that Jianlu has more troops!

Mao Yuanyi listened on the side and added in her heart: "The imperial court is in arrears of pay, and each general has a lot to support his family. Once a loss is made, it is difficult to replace it. Therefore, most generals are reluctant to spend their family members. With this factor, how can we win!"

But he didn't dare to say this, at least in this scene.

Emperor Chongzhen also heard what Zu Dashou meant, saying that if Guan Ning organized a battle, he would probably lose more than he won. Thinking this, he fell silent.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen told Zu Dashou: "Please compile the tactics of building captives into a book. It is best to attach specific battle formations. It must be completed before the new army can be formed."

"According to the decree!" Zu Dashou agreed immediately. It was not difficult for him.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned to look at Mao Yuanyi and also ordered him: "I want to change Mao Qing's training plan and add some content."
