After eating as fast as possible, Zhao Bing wanted to climb the sand dike to check the enemy situation. Zhuang Siqi couldn't stop it, so he had to follow him along the top of the dike and walked westward. The cultivator had a short wall of chest-high to defend against the enemy's crossbow. However, some places were destroyed by the enemy's stone thrower and it was not enough to repair it. They only used sandbags to temporarily block the gap, and the soldiers with warning lies behind them.

"Don't get up, be careful of the Tartar's sharpshooter!" Whenever he reached the gap, military soldiers stood up to salute. Zhao Bing hurriedly stopped him. He knew that the arrows shot by ordinary archers were lethal at seventy or eighty steps, but the arrows shot by Mongolian sharpshooters could still take lives outside one hundred and fifty steps, and it was not safe for him.

"Oh...hee!" Although Zhao Bing repeatedly stopped, the soldiers still insisted on getting up and blocking him. He suddenly understood. He knew that there might be sharpshooters of the Yuan army lurking in front of him. How could these soldiers not know that they were using their bodies to build a flesh shield for themselves, which made Zhao Bing feel very moved.

"Your Majesty, don't go forward anymore!" The front was a gap that the Yuan army had broken through, and the entire sand embankment collapsed. A team of soldiers were re-dumping piles and filling sandbags, which was of course also the target of the enemy's key attack. Zhuang Siqi hurriedly dissuaded.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing nodded when he saw everyone's nervous look, but he did not go down, but let the guards disperse and look outward. He saw that the abandoned corpses of the enemy on the beach were densely packed like a valley, and the breakthrough was even more corpses, almost level with the collapsed sand dike, which showed the fierce competition at that time.

"Your Majesty, this is the most intense place at that time. The enemy broke in several times, and his subordinates sent two commanded reserve teams here to kill the enemy and block the gap. That's really a person to fill it!" Zhuang Siqi said with lingering fear.

"Your Majesty, when you are at the most nervous time, the commander led the personal guards to rush up to fight the enemy!" Zhang Qi, the Du Yuhou, interrupted.

"Tell me what happened at that time!" The dead bodies emitted a disgusting smell under the sunlight, and the tragic situation of the broken limbs and broken arms and brain matter made the food that Zhao Bing had just eaten keep rising. He retracted and squatted down against the sandbag and said.

"Your Majesty, it was the time when the tide was high. The Yuan army rushed to the shore with more than a thousand stone warships. Although some were destroyed in the sea, most of the ships still successfully seized the beach regardless of casualties, so that there would be hundreds of enemies who came ashore at one time." Zhang Qi replied.

"In front of this siege of less than 100 steps ahead, the enemy troops each time put hundreds of people in a dense formation to launch an attack, and the most were a thousand people. The arrows shot by both sides collided in the air. We concentrated more than a dozen consecutive crossbows and concentrated shooting, which made them break through the sand embankment. Finally, we concentrated two commanded forces, and the two teams of grenades blocked the breakthrough, and only the hundreds of grenades were thrown out."

"Well, how about our army's casualties?" Zhao Bing nodded. The corpses everywhere in front of him already explained the situation at that time. Thousands of people were invested in such a narrow attack surface, and people were almost caught. He knew that in the era of cold weapons, the attacking parties had invested superior forces in specific positions and time to gain tactical advantages. The dense formation was a necessary means to ensure the number of their own deployments. Due to the lack of strong interception firepower, the defending parties often used intensive assault hand-to-hand combat to achieve good results. At this time, they often competed for who was stronger and the reserve force and materials were more sufficient.

"Your Majesty, our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and no less than 500 people. Especially the two commanders guarding this section of the sand dike have lost more than half. The subordinates have asked them to retreat to the rear and rest as reserve teams!" Zhang Qi replied, "At present, the enemy has concentrated at least three 10,000 teams in front of us. We can choose any attack point, so that we dare not concentrate our troops in one place. What subordinates are worried about is that if they attack together, they will inevitably lose sight of one and the other!"

"Don't worry, even if the rear army is completely destroyed, the subordinates will guard both sides of the river and never let the Tartars step on the ground in Qiongzhou." Zhuang Siqi was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qi's pessimism and immediately promised.

"It's great, but sometimes the enemy has more flesh and blood, and can also consume our troops by dying. The Tartars are good at cavalry fighting, thus developing a simple and rough tactical style. When attacking, they are accustomed to repeated attacks in dense formations. Therefore, we must strengthen the use of firearms. If necessary, they can increase the shooting angle of rockets, shorten the fuses, and kill and injure the enemy by air explosion. However, they must notify the frontline to be concealed to avoid accidental injuries." Of course, Zhao Bing could not sit idly by and watch the rear army, but of course, he could not criticize Zhuang Siqi for his blind confidence. But he knew that as long as the firepower was strong, no matter how many people there were, he could bombard them into slags, so he passed on the experience he had just obtained.

"Yes, if Your Majesty hadn't ordered the Sheji to support us, that would have been really dangerous. And my subordinates thought that rockets could kill the Tartars in batches because of the operator's mistake, which caused them to explode early. It turned out that Your Majesty did it on purpose!" Zhuang Siqi said suddenly after hearing this.

"These Tartars are either stupid or fall into evil. Even though we know that we have a strict defense, they still rush around regardless of casualties, resulting in countless casualties!" Zhang Qi smiled.

"You are not saying this. The Tartars are not a monster, nor are they fools. This is their cleverness!" Zhao Bing frowned and said, "Concentrating superior forces and organizing multiple waves of dense formations to launch attacks is an intentional and effective tactic for the enemy generals. They use multiple charges and are not afraid of casualties to consume our defensive power. Such repetition not only leads to an increase in our casualties, but also makes our generals emotionally change. Don't think that they can't escape the first time, the second time, and the third time. In fact, under the charge of every charge of the Tartars without fear of losses, our generals are also changing in their hearts, and then they will develop a fear of the enemy. The resistance will be weakened again and again."

"Your Majesty said it is right. If Your Majesty had not fired a cannon in time to support him, he would have been worried about collapse at that time!" Zhuang Siqi thought for a while and said.

"Well, it's great that you can have this idea." Zhao Bing nodded, "In fact, deadly fighting is the most important basis of all tactical behaviors. This is not only a quality that an army should have when obeying orders, not fearing sacrifices, and daring to strive for victory in the battle. It is also a helpless choice for lack of advantageous equipment. Although such a style of play will bring more casualties when starting to break through, these losses are much smaller than the casualties caused by slow and comprehensive attacks. And as long as the breakthrough is successful, it is easy to take advantage of the situation to develop and win."

"Your Majesty is right. Fortunately, the Later Army has persisted and guarded the Shadi." Zhuang Siqi said with a relaxed sigh.

"I also felt lucky in today's battle, and I didn't expect the Tartars to attack Qiong at all costs. Fortunately, we are fighting on the island, and whether it is materials, ammunition, and soldiers, they can be quickly replenished. I wonder if we were fighting off the island, without sufficient rockets, crossbows and grenades could defend their positions. In the absence of firearm support, can we still fight without fear of life and death like the current Tartars, and without fear of life and death, and break through the enemy's defense line. At some times, we must also have the seemingly reckless spirit of the Tartars. These are not only me, but also what you are worried about by the generals."

"What Your Majesty taught me is that I understand." Zhuang Siqi replied thoughtfully.

"According to the report, Chengmai and Changhua naval forces have now detoured behind the enemy, blocking the enemy's support, and also intercepting the current enemy's return. Baisha naval forces have launched an attack on the enemy's escort fleet, threatening the enemy's troop transport fleet. As I think, the Tartars learned that the retreat was broken, and they will definitely speed up the time to dispatch troops to disembark in order to break through our defense line before the rising tide tomorrow and occupy a foothold. Therefore, during this period, the enemy will continue to launch a more fierce attack on Hekou, Haitian and Xinbu Islands, and you must also be prepared for night battles." Zhao Bing informed them of the current situation.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to ensure that you will not lose!" Zhuang Siqi promised again.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's troops have been strengthened. If multiple intensive attacks are carried out on multiple locations, the generals may not be able to deal with the future!" Zhang Qi said hesitantly.

"I said, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers, how can we give up easily!" Zhuang Siqi stared at Zhang Qi and said sternly, then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, even if the army in the back is fighting, one soldier, he will never let the Tartars take a step into Qiongzhou!"

"Haha, I'm very determined. I have ordered the right army to come and reinforce you. Shen Shiqi will arrive, and the imperial guards in front of the palace will also arrive at the Acropolis before dark. However, Zhang Qi said right, you should still be prepared to hate war." Zhao Bing smiled.

"Your Majesty, if the enemy attacks from multiple routes, how can we defend?" Zhang Qi asked.

"This..." Zhao Bing cursed in his heart. It was the first time I had experienced such a fierce offensive and defensive battle. It could be said that it was a headache to treat the head and foot. If I had not accumulated more experience, what could I tell them? So I was a little vague and didn't know how to answer.

However, Zhao Bing thought about it. The enemy was forced to adopt a dense storm formation. It was precisely because there was a sharp contradiction between a large number of troops and a narrow storm road on the assault surface. Of course, it was probably because of the poor equipment of the troops and the poor firepower organization ability. He simply charged directly to launch close combat in order to offset the enemy's relative advantage in geographical location. If you want to solve this problem, you must start with this contradiction.

Zhao Bing thought in turn that the use of multiple dense formations was to achieve the goal of bringing the most commandos into the breakthrough in the shortest time, and then attacking the depth with enough troops and weapons to tear open the breakthrough. For the surviving defenders near the breakthrough, the attacks of multiple echelons in dense formations were undoubtedly the nightmare in their memory. However, the "Sea of ​​Man" tactics can work in most cases, and he thought it was still mainly due to the poor and weak defenders' firepower.

From this, Zhao Bing thought of the widely debated posts in the bar in his previous life, which were about the PLA's tactics, and there were praises and criticisms. Of course, he also participated in it at that time. Now he thought it was ridiculous. He was simply a group of novices who had never been on the battlefield and commented on themselves. However, in order to prove that their views were correct, they also quoted classics and reviewed the old appearance. Although no one convinced anyone in the end, they thought it was not useless to me now.

At that time, during the First Civil Revolutionary War, the Red Army was in a pitiful state of being unequal to guns and few bullets. Most of the grassroots commanders had not undergone systematic military training, and a large number of Red Army soldiers from the countryside began to literate after joining the army. There was no way to talk about any complex tactical cooperation. The natural result was that they preferred simple dense formations in the offensive. The commanders also required and even encouraged assault troops to charge with dense formations, and should develop superior forces on the front line in order to fight in one fell swoop.

These elements that restrict modern Chinese infantry tactics are also applicable to the national army. For the national army at the same level, the Red Army's tactics were unsatisfactory and achieved many victories. However, after entering the War of Resistance Against Japan, facing the Japanese army with good shooting skills, superior firepower, sufficient ammunition, and tenacious fighting will, the Eighth Route Army's dense formations gained little, and it would lead to great casualties. The volunteers who fought against the US military for the first time on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea were still thinking of fighting the US military.

After experiencing high-intensity confrontation in World War II, the US military's ability to have automatic firearms, ammunition, and dense fire nets are far superior to that of the national army. Because the enemy's firepower is strong and air superiority, the commanders often instinctively choose the breakthrough point, which often causes the volunteers to expose the old problem of excessively dense attack formation to the greatest extent, and often have to bear a huge price for victory.

"The enemy's attack formation is dense and compact, in order to ensure the sustainability of attack power. Therefore, we must not only pay attention to close combat, but also pay attention to attacking the enemy's subsequent echelons. In terms of long-range firepower, our army has crossbows and rockets, which can carry out large-scale attacks, so that the enemy's attack formations of multiple echelons will be fully fire-killed during the battle." Zhao Bing sorted out his thoughts and organized the following language and said in a concise manner.

"Your Majesty means to carry out uninterrupted attacks on the enemy troops in the rear and weaken their strength. In this way, even if the enemy vanguard breaks through our city siege and the subsequent reinforcements are insufficient, it will be difficult to expand the breakthrough and develop into our depth." Zhuang Siqi said after hearing this.
