316 The Tactics of the Conqueror

In the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen sat high on the imperial throne. Below were Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi, 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 senior martial arts lecture hall in the capital. Although there is no official thing to do at the moment. However, the new army is about to be established. I am planning to establish the primary martial arts lecture hall in the capital in the new army first."

When Zu Dashou heard this, he finally waited for the news. Although it was not a high-level martial arts lecture hall, if there was a junior, would it be far away? Thinking of this, he was happy and listened carefully to the emperor's words.

Mao Yuanyi had never heard of the martial arts lecture hall before, but he was responsible for teaching the new army, so he was particularly concerned about what the emperor said about the junior martial arts lecture hall in the new army?

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The current imaginary enemy of the new army is the Jianlu of Liaodong. Therefore, I am planning to target the Jianlu of Liaodong. Zu Qing himself was from a general of Liaodong and fought with Jianlu many times. Let me tell you about the Jianlu of Liaodong!"

After the emperor requested this, Zu Dashou naturally could not refuse to agree. After thinking for a moment, he gave a vaccination first and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and I will report it carefully. It's just that time is in a hurry, so there may be omissions."

"It's okay, as much as you can say, then go back and add it and organize it into a book for new army training!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou looked at Mao Yuanyi and said slowly: "The most common method of Jianlu is to take turns to attack our Ming army formation for the cavalry teams."

"In order to build the enemy, we first climb high and look into the distance, examine the terrain, observe the false situation of the enemy, and specialize in taking advantage of chaos. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, we will use cavalry to break through the enemy's formation with a light attack. Once the rushing moves, we will move forward regardless of the number of people and the few. Even if our army is large, we cannot support us. If we don't move, the front team will cross and the second team will rush again. If we can't enter again, the back team will be like this."

"There are also many ways to fight against each other." Zu Dashou said, as if he was trapped in memories, and continued to introduce slowly. "First, when Jianlu was in the battle, he moved the time to delay the time, and was a plan to deploy troops to the left and right and the latter. Once the soldiers were in all directions, the last one would call the Gu Wei, responding from all directions and fighting together, and this was the method of encircling all sides and attacking together!"

"Second, Jianlu's arm plaque is used to dismount the horse and shoot. When one step is in, both sides will collapse. If it is broken, it will be in chaos. If it is broken, it will be in chaos. If it is in chaos, it will be in chaos. If it is seen, it will be in conflict. If it is seen, it will be in conflict with its cavalry, and then it will be in conflict with its cavalry. Then it will be in conflict with its cavalry.

"Third, if our army is strong and the enemy fails to hit the ground, then it will drive cattle and animals, or whip and horses, and use horses to stir up the ground and break the army formation, then it will win! This is to drive the herds to stir up the formation!"

Emperor Chongzhen could understand that these were all methods to break through the Ming army formation and there were many ways to do it.

"Fourth, if our army or halberds are outside, and they will resist horses and run away, and build the enemy, and then they will rush around and whistle, and once a arrow is fired, our army will work. After a long stalemate, we will have to go on hunger strikes or have no salary, and we will not be able to move, and we will advance to force each other. This is a long stalemate, and we will attack when our army is exhausted!"

"Fifth, Jianlu may drive the captives to surrender. Hearing his defeated war, he took advantage of our strength to attack the elite. He may only cross the blade, pretend to go north and abandon the baggage, so he threw Huangbai. Our army may say that the city was defeated, and he will not stop rushing to the north, and often all of them are lost. This is to drive the captives to rush to the formation, or pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy, which is also to break our army's formation!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt awe-inspiring. Jianlu was really using everything on the battlefield. As long as he could break through the Ming army, his methods were not concise and he used all kinds of tricks. It had nothing to do with human nature or not. It was obviously in line with the essence of war. Such enemies were indeed not something that the border troops could fight at this time.

He was thinking about it, and Zu Dashou continued to introduce: "Sixth, if our army has moved, Jianlu will not attack immediately, and wait for me to get tired and trapped, then rush in; if Jianlu has few soldiers, then scatter the soil first and then drag it with wood to make dust rush into the world. If our army encounters it, it will collapse every time; if it does not collapse, it will crash, and its destruction will be inevitable. This is a doubt about the military plan and bluffing the momentum!"

“…”

"Because of his defeat, he can only make a trick to win, and he only cares about the other side of the other side. There is something that the ancient method has not said. If he wins, the enemy will attack and kill, and he will not be able to escape. If he loses, he will scatter and cannot catch up with him." After Zu Dashou finished summarizing, his heart was touched and he was speechless for a long time.

After hearing this, the others did not speak immediately. They were carefully experiencing the tricks of Jianlu introduced by Zu Dashou. For a moment, Wuying Palace became quiet.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen broke the quiet and said, "If we build a captive army like this, if we have the existing army of our Ming Dynasty, we will probably have no enemy!"

After hearing this, Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi looked up at him and didn't say anything. This was clear, so they naturally agreed with the emperor's opinion, but it was just difficult to say it out.

If Jianlu is only one thousand or two thousand, if there are powerful generals like Lu Xiangsheng, or Cao Wenzhao, or if they can fight with him. But in reality, Jianlu has more troops than any town in the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Jianlu will fight less and be an elite army, and even Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others will probably be difficult to win in regular battles.

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

As he thought of this, he frowned and asked, "Zuqing, according to your estimate, what would happen if my Ming Guanning Army fought against Jianlu?"

When he heard this, Zu Dashou was a little stunned, and then hesitated: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Jianlu can be equivalent to those of our army. Just like the general of Jinzhou, there are only two thousand family members."

This means that when the two armies fight, they cannot count the total number. In fact, they have to compare the number of servants of the Ming army with the total number of Jianlu. In this way, it is obvious that Jianlu has more troops!

Mao Yuanyi listened at the side and added in his heart: "The court owes wages, and the generals are raising their families, and it is difficult to supplement the losses once they lose. Therefore, most generals are reluctant to waste their families. With this factor, how can they win!"

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

Emperor Chongzhen also heard what Zu Dashou meant, saying that if Guanning organized a battle, he would probably have lost more than he won. Thinking of this, he was silent.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen told Zu Dashou: "You will edit the tactics of Jianlu into a book, and it is best to attach specific battle lines. It is necessary to complete them before the new army becomes an army."

"Abide by the order!" Zu Dashou immediately agreed. For him, this was not difficult.

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