Chapter 38 The Sixteen-Character Mantra
Yang Guang was surprised that Li Jing had developed guerrilla warfare on his own at a young age, because there was no comprehensive explanation of the tactical thinking of guerrilla warfare in China's previous tactical thinking. Li Jing obviously read the military manual and summed it up with his own ideas.
.
You must know that at this time, he has not led troops to fight in a war, and it should be said that he has not even seen a battlefield with his own eyes.
In the major battles in Chinese history, except for a few ingenious plots, guerrilla thinking is rarely used.
Yang Guang made up his mind, this guy must be allowed to go to the battlefield, experience it personally, and then combine it with the actual situation on the battlefield to give him some insights.
Yang Guang asked tentatively: "You said that the rangers crossing the Great Wall have been nuisance to the opponent for a long time, but attacking more with less is not good for our army. It is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated."
"No." Li Jing said firmly.
Li Jing, at a young age, spoke like an old master: "The grassland is vast, the land is sparsely populated, and there are few high cities and strong walls. It can be said that it is a flat river. As long as a cavalry team of several hundred people understands the terrain of this area, the speed
Extremely fast, usually our army is slow. If it is just a small group of cavalry, the other party is a nomadic people, and they are accompanied by women and children, as well as food. On the contrary, they are slower. Our army only hits one face-to-face, and then it is over.
If you run away, the opponent will react and pursue you. I believe it will be difficult to catch up, and with a large force behind you, you will not dare to chase after you. You will continue to disturb the enemy, which can not only attack the enemy, but also explore the local location."
Yang Guang said in a daze: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue him."
"Your Highness, you really summed it up well. I didn't expect to be able to summarize it in such concise language. I didn't expect that Your Highness has such in-depth research on the art of war."
Facing Li Jing's admiration, Yang Guang's face was full of shock. As expected, guerrilla warfare is a power hidden deep in the blood of the Chinese nation.
We should have known since Huo Qubing that we are good at guerrilla warfare.
If you are rich, you will be covered by firepower, and if you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics. But what if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower first, and then you will be interspersed with tactics?
Speed is important in combat, especially in ancient times when attacks beyond visual range were impossible. Speed was the key factor in defeating the weak against the strong.
Li Jing's idea has begun to take shape, but his actual experience is not enough, so Yang Guang asked: "Li Jing, do you have any ideas to go to the front line this time to fight against the Turks in the North?"
"Me? Can I?" Li Jing was surprised and happy. He wanted to go, but he knew that it was impossible at his age and he did not have the ability to fight.
"I think your art of war is very creative, but it lacks practical application, so if you are brave enough, I plan to let you go to the front line and see the Turks head-on."
Li Jing immediately responded: "I'll go."
"Okay."
The next day, Yang Guang led Li Jing to Changsun Sheng's house.
Changsun Sheng went out to greet him: "His Royal Highness, King of Jin, I hope you will forgive me for being far away from us."
"Captain Changsun will be going on an expedition soon. I didn't tell him to come to bother me. I hope you won't be surprised."
"Your Highness is so kind, please come inside."
Chang Sun Sheng welcomed Yang Yang into the house and saw Li Jing following him. He didn't recognize him, but Yang Guang didn't ask any questions before he introduced him.
After taking his seat, Yang Guang said: "Captain Changsun, you are also busy with affairs, so I won't say much. This is my little brother, named Li Jing, the nephew of General Han Qinhu."
"It turns out he is General Han's nephew. No wonder he always looks familiar. My nephew looks like my uncle, and he has the majesty of General Han."
"Captain Changsun, Li Jing, although he is not very old, is well versed in the art of war. I hope you can take him with you on this expedition, even if he is just a pawn who resists food supply."
Changsun Sheng looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, this little brother is too young to ride a horse. I am going deep into the Turks on this trip. I may have to ride a horse at any time. I am afraid it will be difficult to take him with me. General Han Qinhu is guarding the south, so why not
Let my little brother go to the south. General Han’s experience is far better than mine.”
"Instead of letting the captain take him deep into the Turks, I will take him to Youzhou City along the way. I will personally go to General Yin Shou in Youzhou City to take care of him and let him take a good look at the battle between our army and the Turks."
p>
"In that case, of course." Changsun Sheng immediately agreed, but he was also very curious as to why Yang Guang insisted on letting Li Jing go to the battlefield to have a look.
At this time, a little baby ran in, with a fleshy bun face and a very cute appearance.
"Daddy~"
The little baby ran up to Chang Sun Sheng and hugged Chang Sun Sheng's legs.
"Your Highness, I am making you laugh. This is Wuji, the eldest son of the dog. Wuji went to pay homage to His Highness the King of Jin."
Yang Guang looked at Changsun Wuji, who was only six years old. He would be Li Shimin's number one hero in the future. After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were kicked out of the Qin Palace by Li Yuan, only Changsun Wuji was giving advice to Li Shimin. He was well-deserved for the Xuanwumen Incident.
First screenwriter.
Such a person is still just a little kid with a meaty face.
"Changsun Wuji, I have met His Highness the King of Jin."
The little Changsun Wuji came to Yang Guang and saluted like an adult. Yang Guang smiled knowingly and said: "Captain Changsun, Wuji is very cute. Has Captain Changsun found a teacher for him?"
p>
Changsun Sheng shook his head helplessly: "This kid is so naughty that two teachers were so angry that they walked away."
"Let's do it this way. If Captain Changsun doesn't mind, you can ask Wuji to come to Prince Jin's Mansion when you go to war. My father has arranged for me to be a civil and military teacher. He taught Li Jing before and now he will also teach Wuji. When the time comes,
I can also take care of you."
"That is of course the best. I would like to thank Your Highness."
"The general is going on an expedition for the country, as he should be. Li Jing will stay at the captain's house today. When you have time, Li Jing, you can talk to the captain about your thoughts, and I will take my leave first."
"Farewell to Your Highness."
……
The purpose of giving Li Jing to Chang Sun Sheng was to allow Li Jing and Chang Sun Sheng to have a good chat about guerrilla warfare. Although Chang Sun Sheng did not mention guerrilla warfare in front of the palace, his idea of dividing the Turks may have to rely on guerrilla warfare in the future.
Yang Guang himself was thinking about two other things about guerrilla warfare.
Xiaomi plus rifle.
Millet is an individual soldier's ration. If you want to grow outside the Great Wall, because you don't have to carry a lot of food and grass baggage to travel lightly, individual soldier rations are indispensable. At this stage, the type of rations is not available. If you want to let the cavalry fight for a long time outside the Great Wall, you have to find a way.
Improvement.
A rifle means an effective long-range attack weapon. Without a long-range attack weapon, there would be no tactic of attacking and fleeing immediately, and bayonets would certainly not work.
The long-distance weapons of this era were bows and crossbows. Bows have a higher personal ability for soldiers. There are very few people who can really penetrate a poplar with a hundred steps. Salvo is the most powerful point of bows and crossbows. Moreover, the Central Plains soldiers are not as good as nomads in terms of instant kung fu, so
To truly carry out threatening and lethal guerrilla warfare, long-range weapons need to be improved.
Yang Guang thought of firearms.
When I think of firearms, I think of Sun Simiao.
As the inventor of gunpowder, he is naturally the best at this matter.
He immediately rushed home and found Sun Simiao and asked, "Sir, I heard that you make alchemy regularly."
"Refining."
"Will it explode?"
Boom
Just as Yang Guang finished speaking, there was an explosion in a room, and a burst of black smoke billowed out.
Sun Simiao said respectfully: "Your Highness can tell fortunes?"
"No."
