"There are artillery, why can't I win?"

"Cabinets, they are cavalrymen, and they are always in dispersed. We can only fight and retreat... Thanks to the chariot formation, otherwise we will have to be unlucky!"

"Oh, you said Goguryeo can have so many armored cavalry? That's not!"

"To concentrate troops, even if there are not many cavalrymen in Goguryeo, tens of thousands of people should be collected... Don't underestimate Goguryeo. If someone can occupy Liaodong for many years, he will always have a few tricks..."

In the trench, several military cadets were whispering. They were wearing military uniforms and croaking in the gray ditch, discussing the war game deduction yesterday.

In that war chess performance, they "take the black first" and had one more war chess in their hands, that is, the "new army".

The new army is the latest new army compiled by the dynasty, equipped with a powerful weapon - artillery.

The artillery (field artillery) weighs hundreds of kilograms and is placed on the cannon stand and is pulled by the horse to move with the army. Although it will drag down the speed of the march, it is very powerful. The solid bullets fired can easily break through barriers and pull a blood mark in the infantry team formed.

The cannons that fire shots can instantly tear the charger's cavalry apart.

The new army equipped with such cruel weapons is invincible in the world. The top students who got this war game felt that they were sure to win, but they still lost the "Liaodong Battle".

What's the problem?

This is the answer that Dugu Pingyun and his classmates want to know. After losing yesterday, they couldn't recover for half a day. They tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well. Today, everyone will continue to discuss this issue.

After thinking about it, we came to two conclusions: First, the new army lacked enough troops.

In this "Liaodong Battle", the new army they had only had 3,000 troops and had strong combat power. As long as they were not attacked in field war, they were not afraid of cavalry at all. However, they had few troops and poor field artillery attacks, so they were used to "put out fires".

There are always weaknesses in the long front. Using the new army as a "fire-fighting team" can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The idea is good, but when there are many fires on the front line, where can the firefighters save it?

Dugu Pingyun and several classmates carefully planned the Liaodong offensive, and the culprit of the collapse of their own defense line were the various troops of the Marine that were bought by Goguryeo.

The new army with three thousand troops was defeated and under such a situation, it was unable to turn the world back. However, thanks to this powerful brigade fighting to the enemy with the battle and leaving, and gaining precious time, the main force of the Zhou army was able to retreat to Liaokou and cross Hainan.

As a result, the students realized a problem: the Liaodong Campaign was launched without winning over the various departments of the Marine Army. The variables were too great.

In order to prevent the various units of Sumo and Marine in the north, the Zhou army in Liaodong must divide its troops to defend the flanks. In this way, it will dilute its own troops. Of course, adding troops from the Central Plains can also solve this problem, but the supply of food and grass will become increasingly tense.

Everyone thinks that Goguryeo has occupied Liaodong for a long time and the Zhou Kingdom has no foothold in Liaodong. Although there is a navy to rely on, it is too difficult to achieve success in one battle. The attack that year and the evaluation of Liaodong was too difficult.

It’s not that the Goguryeo army is very capable of fighting, but that the Zhou army on the expedition has been too much constraints, and it is impossible to recover Liaodong before the winter comes.

Therefore, the court did not rush to send troops, because it was based on long-term considerations. His Majesty did not send troops due to anger, which was completely correct.

This is the conclusion drawn by the students, which comes from war chess deduction. Although they are not the officials of the Political Affairs Hall, they have a deep understanding of the current situation in Liaodong.

As he thought about it, Dugu Pingyun felt a little proud.

His father Dugu Kai is now the chief supervisor of Yuanzhou to guard against the Turks, while his brother Dugu Lingyun led troops to guard against Bingzhou, and was also guarding against the Turks, and he...

Before he entered the officialdom, he should have followed his father to train in Yuanzhou to prepare for formal joining the army, but now he has entered the military academy and has embarked on the battlefield through another way.

"Attention! Attention! The shelling is about to begin! Everyone is ready!"

The instructors' shouts interrupted the discussion between Dugu Pingyun and his classmates. At this moment, dozens of students squatting in the trenches were under shelling. After a while, only a sharp whistle sounded, and everyone curled up, waiting for the arrival of that moment.

Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to become silent, and then thunder broke out on the flat ground, and the whistling sound came out, from far to near, and suddenly hit the chest wall built by sandbags on the edge of the trench, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the military academy students across the air.

The heavy impact was filled with dust, and the military academy students curled up in the trenches were covered in dust by the splash of sand.

Many of the large number of carriages placed on the ground turned into residue when the large number of artillery (field guns) were fired, flew into the air and then fell down. Wood chips and sand and gravel hit the military school students' pockets, making sounds.

The whistle sounded, and the instructors shouted loudly again. The military academy students did not care about their embarrassment and rushed to the artillery position ahead.

In front of them, fifty steps away, was another trench, and everyone had to reach the trench before the second round of artillery began and felt the second round of artillery.

There were wreckage of carts everywhere on the ground, but many of them were still intact because they were not concentrated by artillery.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Pingyun couldn't help but feel the power of the cannon.

The car can effectively cover infantry. If it is a normal battle, unless it is fire or water attack, there is no weapon that can instantly break the solid car.

Even if the sky-blasting thunder is blown up, it can only explode the solid thunder. Faced with the enemy with sky-blasting thunder, the attacking party can protect its soldiers from moving and approach the enemy's battle formation to launch hand-to-hand combat.

But with the other party having artillery, this is different.

Dugu Pingyun and his classmates ran, looking at the rows of cannons in the distance ahead, they were moved, just like looking at their dream lover, breathing rapidly and their heartbeats accelerated.

There were several people busy beside each artillery. The students in the artillery department were operating the artillery and preparing for the next round of artillery bombardment.

Graduates of the military academy will join the new army and become backbone officers. The new army's tactics revolve around artillery (field artillery). To learn how to use artillery, you must first feel the power of artillery.

Students will take turns to live-fire shooting and "being shot by live-fire" to help them master the use of this weapon faster.

Every time the cannon is operated, the students are extremely excited.
