After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 232 Infantry Tactics
Sun Wu nodded after listening, then thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Hanhou is right. The infantry itself is used for defense. When fighting against cavalry, it is naturally at a disadvantage. Therefore, in my opinion, the infantry in front of me is too single. What this army needs is both offensive and defensive. never fail."

"The infantry in front of us is quite capable. As long as it is commanded properly, it can fight even against chariot soldiers. If we can add some things, the combat effectiveness of this infantry will be even stronger."

This obviously meant to give advice. Meng Di was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked for advice very modestly.

"Since Sun Wuzi has seen the shortcomings, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."

At this time, Sun Wuzi frowned, made a loud noise, and then spoke slowly.

"The infantry's mobility is insufficient at the time of war. If you want to use infantry to fight a battle, you need to adapt to local conditions. The biggest advantage of infantry is that it can fight under various terrains."

"This is what chariot soldiers and cavalry cannot compare with. The only thing lacking is lack of mobility, and now the power of Hanhou's cavalry is well known in the world. Presumably, all the princes will start to follow suit in the future."

"In the future, there will definitely be cavalry battles. Since the Marquis of Han has spent great efforts to train the infantry, it is necessary to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. Under such circumstances, the infantry needs to be divided into at least two."

"One is dedicated to defense, and the other is dedicated to offense. Whether you are fighting against cavalry or chariot soldiers in the future, you need to find a way to use yourself. The biggest specialty is that, so you can build chariots specifically for these infantry."

"So that these infantry can move quickly during the war, and when facing chariot soldiers and cavalry at the same time, they can use these chariots to form obstacles, thereby reducing losses, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

After Mengdi heard this, his eyes lit up, because even in the Han Dynasty, there was no such way of fighting, but if it is to build chariots, the cost of a war is not small, so he asked curiously road.

"I don't know what kind of chariot Sun Wuzi mentioned?"

At this time, Sun Wu's eyes burst into light, as if he had a complete strategy in his heart now, and the expression on his face became a little excited, and he spoke immediately.

"Since it is a chariot used by infantry, it is naturally light and light. We can choose strong people and make shields for them. There are large shields and small shields. They can be placed on the chariot when they are not in use. "

"Once the enemy's chariots are connected as one, use a large shield in front of the chariot to block the attack speed of the chariot soldiers and cavalry. When the opponent's formation becomes chaotic, you can counterattack and consume the enemy with battle formations. The physical strength and morale of soldiers."

"When there is an opportunity to defeat the army, the soldiers who specialize in attack can take advantage of the opportunity to hide and kill. In this way, we can not only give full play to the infantry's greatest advantage, but also have the power to defend when encountering the enemy suddenly!"

Since it is a light chariot, it means that the structure is simple and the material consumption will not be too much. Moreover, according to Sun Wu, if such an infantry appears on the battlefield, it can completely advance steadily when the battle begins. .

If we cooperate with the cavalry, I am afraid that there are not many troops in the world who can resist this set of tactics. Mengdi also showed excitement on his face, and said involuntarily.

"Sun Wuzi is indeed a man who knows how to fight. I wonder if he is interested in training such an army?"

After hearing this, Sun Wuzi's expression changed, and then he gradually calmed down, and said calmly.

"The old man is old now, and he is already useless. He is already powerless about this kind of battle, but he can provide some advice to the Marquis of Han."

Meng Di was somewhat disappointed by this obvious refusal, but he quickly adjusted his mood, then smiled, and did not continue talking about this topic.

Now that Sun Wu was willing to give advice, it was already a surprise, and Meng Di also felt that he should not be too impatient, so he said after thinking about it.

"The state of Qi is now preparing to attack the state of Jin for the second time, and then the king will lead the army to go out. I don't know if Sun Wuzi has any opinions on this battle?"

Seeing that Meng Di did not force himself to become an official, Sun Wu also felt a little emotional in his heart. A monarch who knows how to restrain himself means that he has his own rules and bottom lines. This kind of situation appears to such a young monarch like Meng Di, which is very commendable.

To be honest, Sun Wu's heart was already a little moved, the main reason was seeing the infantry in front of him, although he put forward his own opinions as soon as he came up, but from the heart, he could see it.

The appearance of this infantry on the battlefield in the future will definitely be a nightmare for other vassal states, especially in the south, where the water network is densely covered, and there are many mountains. limit.

But the simple infantry in front of him is different. They can not only adapt to various terrains, but also look powerful in combat. In his opinion, they are an ideal type of troops. If they cooperate with corresponding training methods, their strength will be even higher. layer.

Just thinking about Wu Zixu's ending filled Sun Wu's heart with hesitation. After experiencing so many things, he needs to be more cautious, because he has reached this stage of age.

What Sun Wu wanted to do the most was to pass on his own concept of military use, otherwise, it would be a kind of sadness that no one would inherit it. Now hearing what Mengdi said, he thought for a while, and then said.

"Although the coalition forces of the princes seem to be powerful, they cannot cooperate with each other when fighting because they have their own thoughts. Under such circumstances, only Zhao Jianzi can bring the war to a stalemate."

"Then the final outcome is still that the allied forces of the princes will be defeated again, and Zhao Jianzi is also a man who knows how to fight. He must be very clear about this. The last battle between Luchuan and Baiquan fully demonstrated this point."

"I just don't know if the Marquis of Han will take all the cavalry to conquer Jin this time? If that's the case, the old man has four words to send to Marquis Han, that is to give food to the enemy."

After hearing this, Mengdi's heart was moved, and he asked immediately.

"Sun Wuzi means that this time the Jin army will choose to cut off the retreat of the coalition forces of the princes? In order to win this war? But with the strength of the Jin State, it may be difficult to do this, right?"
