Chapter 251: Conquering the Three Generals
Chapter 251: Conquer the Three Generals
When Tang Feng heard this, he just smiled faintly, as if he did not take their words seriously. He looked at the two battalions of soldiers who had been re-arranged and trained. After a while, he said: "Although you are convinced, I can still see that you are not completely convinced in your heart. I think you should be thinking that this is just an elite force under my command and has nothing to do with me. What I said?" At this point, Tang Feng suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang and Liu.
After he asked this question, Liu Meng and his two faces suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After a while, he said stutteringly: "Sir, you have a very insightful insight. You can even see through our thoughts. Your personal soldiers should be the elite of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most elite in the Liaodong army, right? We don't feel embarrassed when we lose to them, but you have no necessary connection with them being able to defeat us, so I am still a little embarrassed." Liu Meng is a rectal man. Although he is sometimes very rude, he does not lose his true self, so he still speaks his heart after hesitating.
Tang Feng raised his lips, and he felt a little impressed by this man's courage. He was not angry about the other party's doubts. He did not directly answer Liu Meng's question, but just asked: "What kind of people do you think are needed to be your head coach? Are you looking for a powerful general who can charge forward?"
"This..." Zhang Wencong saw that Tang Feng was not angry at Liu Meng's words, so he became bold and said, "To convince the soldiers, the general must have outstanding features..."
"Absurd, which ruled that the commander must be the best in the three armies? Can't he be the commander if he can't be on the battlefield? Then let me ask you, who is the current commander of Liaodong?"
"It's Lord Sun Chengzong and Sun!"
"Do you think he can compete with any soldier? You must know that he is over 60 years old and is a Jinshi in the third grade. Can he really go into battle?" Tang Feng continued to ask, which made the other three speechless immediately. Sun Chengzong was respected by all the soldiers in the army, but because of his righteousness, everyone ignored his original identity. Seeing that they stopped talking, Tang Feng continued to say: "And many outstanding generals and commanders from ancient times to the present are not brave people, Zhuge Kongming, Li Jing, Yue Wumu, and even Xu Zhongshan and Qi Jiguang of this dynasty, who are the brave generals who can fight? Why do I have to have strong martial arts to command you?"
Liu and Zhang looked at each other and couldn't answer for a moment, but they were still thinking of an answer: Who said you are from the eunuch party? If you are just an ordinary official, we would not dare to be so presumptuous even if we were dissatisfied.
Tang Feng sighed and said, "As for the fact that my personal soldiers you have just guessed are Guanning Iron Cavalry, I can tell you clearly that they are not. If they are real Guanning Iron Cavalry, they will not fight you with this unpredictable formation. They can completely destroy you with their powerful impact. These soldiers are just ordinary border troops. The real reason why they can beat you is that they have developed a tacit understanding of life and death together for several years or even ten years, so they can split and merge in an instant, which is also one of the reasons why the Beijing army is inferior to the border troops."
Only then did Liu Meng and the others know why the other party had such an unpredictable tactic. For the first time, we began to have an idea in our minds that one day we would go to Liaodong to see. Tang Feng did not finish his words. He continued: "As for the origin of this tactic, it was obtained from countless battles with the Jin army. The Jin people were often not as powerful as us in terms of military strength. They relied on horse speed and people to be flexible. They often used this kind of tear or sudden change of formation to kill the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. After losing countless soldiers, we learned this trick, but there was still a big gap compared to the Jin people. It's ridiculous that you just said arrogantly, why can you defeat those Jin people with the troops of these two battalions? It is precisely because I don't want you to have this understanding that people will compete with you with this tactic."
Only then did the three of them realize that Tang Feng had good intentions, and the expression on their faces was a little different, but obviously Zhang and Liu were still a little disagreeing with Tang Feng's command. After all, they only saw the power of Tang Feng's personal soldiers, but they had never seen Tang Feng lead the troops with their own eyes. Tang Feng immediately saw through their thoughts and smiled: "I know you are still a little dissatisfied and think that my ability is not enough to command the third battalion. Then let me tell you, the generals need to have the ability to train troops, command soldiers and even go to battle, but the generals do not need these. All he needs is to know people and be good at responsibilities, and it is enough to allow every general to display his own abilities."
Seeing Liu and Zhang still had some difficulty believing, Guan Zhengjie suddenly said, "Two generals, you have never been here just now. Just now, Lord Tang saw through the shortcomings of your army at a glance, and he also saw how you would lose the battle shortly after the battle began. So I can see that Lord Tang is not only able to command generals, but he also has his own unique features in using troops."
Although they had some rifts with Guan Zhengjie, the two still respected his views. Seeing that he said this, the two of them changed slightly and their faces showed respect. Tang Feng just smiled and said, "This is just that I have confidence in my personal soldiers. They all survived several battles with the Jin people, so they naturally know how to use their strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings."
Seeing that Liu and Zhang had already begun to accept Tang Feng, Guan Zhengjie felt a little relieved, but then he thought of what Tang Feng said before, and asked with concern: "Sir, what you said before is true? Is that Jin Man really stronger than your personal soldiers?"
Seeing his own differences in generals, Tang Feng convinced these people, he was secretly happy and nodded without thinking too much, "Yes, the Jin people are not inferior to the Mongolian people, and they are born between poor mountains and bad waters, so they are more elite than our Liaodong defenders."
"Then what can I do with the Ming Dynasty to deal with them? Even such an elite Liaodong Army is not their opponent." Guan Zhengjie said dejectedly. As soon as he finished speaking, the other two generals began to take on their hearts for the soldiers on the border.
Tang Feng laughed: "You are too worried. If my Liaodong defenders are in a head-on conflict, they are indeed not their opponents, but we have strong walls as a basis and firearms as a dependence." Tang Feng said as he took a look and saw that the training of the five armies and two battalions below had ended. Now thousands of people from the Shenji Camp are lined up.
"Firearm? Can we fight the Jin people with just a firearm?" Liu and Zhang didn't know much about firearms, so they didn't have enough confidence in them. Although Guan Zhengjie was the general of the Shenji Camp, he did not dare to agree with Tang Feng's words, and just looked at him with a pair of eyes: "Is this a little bit over the words of sir? I can still understand them by defending myself by the strong city, but this firearm..."
Tang Feng looked at the soldiers below and picked up the musket, then lit the fuse and made a thumping sound, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything big. This firearm is indeed the nemesis of the cavalry. Maybe you don't know the specific situation of Ningyuan's battle. I can tell you that in addition to the soldiers' care and the lives of the three armies, we can defend Ningyuan with 20,000 troops and finally defeat more than 100,000 Jin troops. The most important thing that the artillery is the amazing power. I know that there are still several red artillery artillery in the Shenji Camp, and we rely on these artillery to defeat the Jin people."
"Red Artillery Cannon?" Guan Zhengjie was stunned, and then said: "This artillery last general has also seen it, but it is too huge and heavy, so it is really not suitable for combat. It is not as good as our own general artillery."
"You are wrong. Although this Red Flame cannon has a large body and a slump, its range and power are amazing. The Jin people suffered a great loss because they did not defend themselves. Of course, our general cannons have their own power, and even those muskets cannot underestimate them." Speaking of this, Tang Feng immediately thought of his wish to have been powerful in the open firearm. Isn't this Shenji Camp specialized in using and inventing firearms?
"Although the musket is easy to carry, it is very powerful, and it is inconvenient to refille gunpowder after firing a shot. You can only fire one shot to the enemy cavalry. How can you save it? Unless it is the three-eyed magic gun, it has a certain power, but the cost of the magic gun is too high, so even in the Shenji Camp, we never thought of using it to deal with the golden people." Guan Zhengjie was from the Shenji Camp, and immediately put forward his own different views.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but you should know that weapons are dead, but people live. We cannot change the weakness of muskets at present, so why don't you think about changing from us?" Tang Feng said, and told him the three-stage shooting technique he strongly advocated in Liaodong.
Guan Zhengjie is a person who knows things. When he heard Tang Feng's words, his eyes suddenly became happy and nodded repeatedly, "Sir, it's a good idea. This way, the density of our muskets will be much higher, and it will be enough to cause greater damage to them when the cavalry breaks up." After saying this, he could no longer hold it back and immediately ran down the mountain. He wanted his soldiers to try to use this method to fire the gun.
