Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 466 Cannon Theory and Infantry Synergy

Duan Jie, who had seen the power of cannons, understood why the General Staff ordered them to come to Calcutta to pick up the ship in advance.

This thing is simply an artifact of war!
And when Zhu Yu came here, he didn't just send cannons to Song Sheng's troops, he also came with Chen Yunfu's latest military order.

Once the cannon arrives, it's time to go to war.

The previous truce was to wait for this thing.

Before the artillery was sent to the Indian battlefield, Ming Dynasty would not easily start a decisive battle. The so-called spring offensive was nothing more than a side dish.

The purpose is to let the North Delhi Sultanate ask for help from his big brother Timur Khanate.

Either don't fight, fight a big fight if you want to fight, and give the Timur Khanate a heavy blow!
Let's see whether the group of Mamluks raised by the lame wolf are more powerful, or the shells of the cannon are more powerful.

"In our Artillery Command Academy, the first class of each class of students is taught by King Yu himself."

On the way with Duan Jie to the Song Sheng Army, fifty miles south of Mathura, Zhu Yu told Duan Jie some stories about his school days.

"King Yu said a lot back then, but the one sentence that I remember most is the phrase 'Truth is only within the range of the cannon, and justice is within the caliber of the cannon.'"

Speaking of this sentence after many years, Zhu Yu still couldn't help but smile: "I remember that we were all laughing when we heard this sentence back then, but now in retrospect, it's not fake at all. We all care about King Yu's words." The phrase is called 'The Cannon Theory.'”

"Truth is only within the range of the cannon, and justice is within the caliber of the cannon." Duan Jie repeated this sentence in his mouth, shaking his head and sighing: "I heard this at first. It is King Yu who is farsighted."

"King Yu said back then that the core meaning of this sentence is exactly the same as evil cannot win, because the one who wins in the end is the self-defined justice."

Zhu Yu made no secret of his admiration for Chen Yunfu: "We take basic courses, theoretical courses, practical courses, and learning to walk with guns, but in the eyes of us students, these courses are not as good as those taught by King Yu. This first class.

Because this lesson taught us a truth, victory is more important than everything else, without a good result, the process is equal to shit.Learning is just a process, and winning battles is the result. "

Duan Jie laughed, but also nodded frequently.

"Yeah, winning the battle is the most important thing. When I was a soldier, it happened to be in time for the fourth Northern Expedition. The little banner officer at that time said the same thing. He said that life is the greatest truth in the world, and death If it is caught, it will be eaten by wild dogs, and if it is pulled out, it will become shit."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two generals of Ming Dynasty laughed loudly, the wind blew, and the sand in their mouths was covered, and they kept yelling.

"This place is really disgusting."

Zhu Yu, who had been in Nanjing for a long time, was a little uncomfortable with such a harsh environment, frowning and muttering non-stop.

Duan Jie on the side slapped Zhu Yu on the shoulder, and said with a chuckle, "When the battle is over, my brother will take you to a good place."

"Where?"

Zhu Yu saw the smile on Duan Jie's face that men could understand, and asked in surprise, "Is there a brothel here?"

"Who visits the kiln?"

Duan Jie leaned on Zhu Yu's ear and whispered, "It's the temple."

"What?"

"The temple is the temple in our country."

Zhu Yu's eyes widened suddenly in disbelief: "They, there are prostitutes in the temple?"

"Look at what you said, that's not a prostitute, that's a godservant who serves three shit gods." Duan Jie spread the religious culture of Hinduism to Zhu Yu with his fingers, and finally sneered: "I used to think that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are capable of fooling people, and those flower monks rely on this thing to cheat money and sex.

It turned out that when I got here, I realized that compared with the religion in their place, the Buddhism in our country is simply not very good. You have never seen that the believers here have been brainwashed into some kind of virtue.

In this place, if you want to find a beautiful girl, you can go to the temple. "

Speaking of this, Duan Jie laughed again: "There is no lewdness in the army, so I will take you to experience it after the battle is over."

At only 20 years old, Zhu Yu, who was already full of vigor, was heartbroken by Duan Jie's words, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, his face turned red with embarrassment.

The two of them drove the army for more than ten days before returning from Calcutta to the camp of the Chinese Army, which also made Song Sheng understand why Chen Yunfu had ordered him to cease fighting.

With cannons as a weapon of war, Daming would have sacrificed a lot less.

Song Sheng was also very interested in the theory of infantry and artillery coordination tactics brought by Zhu Yu this time.

Looking at Song Sheng, who is 60 years old this year, he still has great interest in learning these fresh tactical ideas.

Song Sheng knew very well in his heart that the military strategy and formation left by his ancestors, just like the books left by the sages, will be lost in history sooner or later with the progress and changes of the times, and will only become the cultural symbols of an era. It is no longer mainstream.

"The so-called infantry coordination is divided into three aspects. The first is the battle preparation stage. Our artillery provides fire suppression for the infantry. At this stage, the enemy cannot form an formation in the face of our army's covering artillery fire, while our army will You can calmly organize your army and make pre-war preparations.

The second stage is the battle stage, which can also be called the battle assault stage. Our infantry and cavalry charge, and the enemy must respond. During this process, our artillery will focus on attacking the enemy's long-range troops, such as crossbowmen, The chariot phalanx, catapult phalanx, and the enemy's logistics phalanx force the enemy to lose their positions from head to toe and at the same time, they cannot cause long-range damage to our army's charging cavalry and it is difficult to form a complete formation to defend against the enemy. .

The third stage is the battle stalemate and mopping up stage. In this stage, the enemy and us are fighting together, and our artillery loses the ability to attack the enemy, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops, but it does not mean that our artillery is useless.

In the stalemate stage, once our artillery observers find that the enemy is planning to change formations and outflank, they will immediately block them with artillery fire to buy opportunities for our infantry and cavalry to command the front line.

And in the mopping-up stage, that is, after the victory, the enemy retreats back to the city, and our infantry and cavalry face the strong city defense or worry about falling into street fighting after entering the city, then our artillery will come forward and keep every inch of scorched earth under the Liting sweeping hole, for our army Occupy the strong city and wipe out the remaining enemies. "

Song Sheng nodded in praise again and again, and then said.

"No wonder your majesty ordered this commander to cease fighting. This is to let the two of us get along well, so that the soldiers under him can learn this new tactic of infantry coordination in actual combat."

Zhu Yu nodded with a smile.

"In front of you, there are two fortified cities and 15 enemy troops. You can practice your skills well."

"Ha ha ha ha."
