After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 303 Infantry Tactics
Then Mengdi rushed to Dongmeng Mountain, where it was transformed into a large military camp on the mountainside. As soon as he walked in, he could hear the sound of drills coming from inside. This area has banned ordinary people from entering. So there is no possibility of information leakage.

After Sun Wu got the news early in the morning, he took someone out to greet him in person. Only Meng Di saw that his face was a little thin. It seemed that this period of time was also very hard, so he asked.

"It's a good thing that Mr. Sun has worked hard to train soldiers during this time, but you must also pay attention to your health. Otherwise, once your health breaks down, where can I ask this king to find another talented person like Mr. Sun?"

After hearing this, Sun Wu only had a faint smile on his face, and then he said.

"As a leader, it is natural to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, not to mention training an elite soldier, so naturally you have to be more attentive. This is what I should do. The former Marquis of Qi entered the barracks to see."

After entering the barracks, Meng Di looked the same as when Liu Xiatuo was training before, but when he looked closely, he found something different. These soldiers were not just doing some ordinary training.

And they are also training the technique of splitting and advancing together. It is obvious that this is Sun Wu's reorganized training formation based on the characteristics of infantry. Meng Di can tell at a glance that this formation is specially used for picking up stations.

Once the opponent's army formation is broken, these soldiers will instinctively divide into small groups, and then continue to expand the results of the battle, echoing each other, and being able to achieve the greatest combat effectiveness in a relatively small battle situation.

After Meng Di understood the benefits of the military formation, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but praise him.

"Mr. Sun really has a good technique. With this technique of splitting up and attacking in combination, once you contact the enemy on the battlefield, you can rely on the infantry's ability to fight on a small scale to quickly expand the results of the battle and defeat the enemy in a short time. .”

Sun Wu was not surprised by this. Mengdi was able to lead the troops to defeat the Jin army twice. It was definitely not luck, because he also had a lot of experience in commanding battles, so he was able to achieve such victories, so he explained.

"The reason why infantry training is added to this formation is mainly to deal with large-scale cavalry in the future. According to the information I have collected, Zhao Jianzi of Jin State and Tian Xizi of Qi State have both started training cavalry."

"It seems that it won't take long for other princes to follow suit. Under such circumstances, the infantry needs to have more flexible tactics, so that they can counterattack while resisting the cavalry."

"However, there is still one thing missing now, and that is the crossbow. If it can be equipped on a large scale in the future, it will definitely be invincible against cavalry. With the assistance of chariots, at least during the battle, as long as the command does not make mistakes .

"Then it is very difficult for the cavalry to win. Judging from the current situation, Wu Guo is already a little ready to move. The last time he asked for a new city was just a temptation. The Marquis of Han should be careful."

Meng Di nodded after listening, there was nothing to hide in front of Sun Wu, so he said.

"Mr. Bai's plan at this time is that the state of Wu is now rapidly expanding abroad, and it needs a lot of money and food. As long as they maintain this momentum, then our country of Han can control the lifeline of the state of Wu."

"Even if Fu Chai, the king of Wu, turns his back on us and attacks Han, they won't be able to continue the attack for a long time. As long as we can hold on, they will return because of lack of food."

After Sun Wu heard this, he nodded slightly, and then he brought up the matter of Qi and Jin, and he spoke.

"Now Qi State will not directly turn against our Han State. They will definitely put their goals above Lu State. The most important thing now is to win over Wei State. We can't let Wei State completely fall to Jin State, but let them follow Qi. countries stand together."

"In this way, there will be a competitive relationship between Qi and Jin, and they will not join forces in a short time. Even if Jianguo joins other vassal states to attack Han, at least the area around Nanju City can remain calm, and Huai City will not will be threatened."

And Meng Di showed a look of embarrassment on his face, Wei State is a very important strategic buffer zone, how to make Wei State and Qi State get closer, I am afraid that some extraordinary measures will be needed, so he said.

"The former prince of Wei State, Kuai Yu, helped Zhao Jianzi win the battle of Tieyi, and now he is leading people to guard Qiyi. It will definitely fall to Jin."

But after Sun Wu heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile on his face.

"Han Hou seems to have forgotten that there is another person in Fei Yi. Although she is only a woman, she has a great influence on the state of Wei. As long as she is planning, the final result is unknown."

These words reminded Mengdi, so he nodded and kept this matter in his heart, then he asked.

"If the soldiers of Jin or Qi really invade, how many troops will Mr. Sun need to defend Feiyi and Nanju?"

Regarding this question, Sun Wu thought about it carefully, and then said with a confident look on his face.

"It only takes one year, then I can train an army strong enough to resist Jin and Qi, so that the city will not be lost. If I can double the number of troops, then I can guarantee that they will not invade to the territory of Han."

If this was said by someone else, Meng Di would definitely feel that the other party was bragging, but this was said by Sun Wu, he did not express the slightest doubt, but asked with curiosity on his face.

"I don't know how Mr. Sun is going to deal with the enemy army?"

Sun Wu smiled lightly, thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts.

"If the Jin State leads the allied forces of the princes to attack, it is nothing more than coming from the State of Lu, or from the State of Zheng, then what I need to resist is the soldiers from the State of Lu. When the time comes, I will take the initiative to attack and disturb Lu State first. country."

"Let the opponent's army not be able to attack with peace of mind, so that they are worried that their retreat will be cut off, so they can only have two choices. One is to divide the troops, and the other is to choose to fight with me. No matter which one is, as long as they remain cautious, they will not fall into a desperate situation. .”

"If you persevere long enough, then with Jin's current strength, it will inevitably retreat without attacking. As for Qi, it is simpler. Attacking with four words will save it."
