Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 293
"The old man has recently researched a kind of army formation, using steps to break cavalry. The principle is to use Mo Dao as the main force, add crossbowmen, and use a small amount of cavalry to guard the two wings. What does Wei Guo think?" Chatting with Qin Qiong for more than an hour before leaving, Go to Li Jing's mansion again.

Li Jing's life is quite comfortable now, not only in charge of the Ministry of War, but also a large number of students in the martial arts academy, who are very quiet and think about moving, and start writing military books and studying formations.

Feng Daiwen looked at Li Jing's Modao army formation, thought for a long time, and then said: "Although it is feasible to use the Modao to defeat the cavalry, it will inevitably cause damage, why not use a huge shield and a long spear to defend against the enemy, and use crossbowmen to kill.

On both sides of the Bumo knife array, wait for the cavalry to lose their impact before attacking. "

Li Jing looked at Feng Daiwen's formation and said with a smile: "Your approach is to minimize casualties when the strength of the troops is equal. It's morale, what kills is bloody, and blindly bullying the weak with the strong will lose bloody sooner or later, which is not a very good thing."

Feng Daiwen had to admit that what Li Jing said was reasonable. The future Stars and Stripes relied on their excellent equipment to bully the weak, and they would die when they fought tough battles. They were completely different from the Civil War.

"Wei Gong is right, but the general really doesn't like unnecessary sacrifices. It is best to be able to defeat the weak with the strong, at least to crush the opponent in terms of equipment." Feng Daiwen still shook his head and said.

"Actually, you are right. Datang now has the strength to do what you said. There is no need to sacrifice too much, and there are many foreigners who are willing to be driven, which makes us a lot easier." Li Jing nodded in agreement. .

Feng Daiwen didn't expect that Li Jing could actually support his point of view, he was very surprised, and couldn't help looking at him in amazement.

"Strange? Haha, it's actually nothing. There is a political department doing ideological work, and the soldiers are very cohesive. They don't need to fight to the death to motivate them. As long as they see blood twice, they are all good soldiers.

The old man is not a man of old age, so it is best to be able to win easily, but all kinds of military formations need to be trained, so they can adapt to various battlefields. Fortunately, the soldiers after the streamlining are all elite, and it is easy to train. Li Jing saw Feng Daiwen's doubts and explained with a smile.

Feng Daiwen couldn't help blushing, and said with a little embarrassment: "Mr. Wei is mature and prudent, with an open mind, which I will admire in the end."

"Haha! I don't care about my age. There are many talents in the younger generation. Su Dingfang can be regarded as a good commander when he leads the army. , Pei Xingjian, who stayed in the martial arts academy for further studies, was quick-witted. Wang Xuance, Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui, and Cheng Wuting all studied in the martial arts academy, and they were pretty good too. I'm not sure about the details.

The second generation of Chang'an, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chumo, Li Deju, and Li Chongyi are not half as capable as their father, which is really disappointing.

In Ru Feng's family, the boss can only be regarded as a literati, leading troops to attack the cottage is okay, the third and fourth are only partial generals, and the fifth is a fierce general, but unfortunately he is only a fierce general.

The new generation of Datang is still headed by Ru when it comes to vision and ability. "Li Jing laughed loudly, commenting on almost all the new generation generals.

"Duke Wei has won the prize. The last general is just relying on the large number of people and excellent equipment. The new generation just has no chance. As long as there are a few battles, they will naturally stand out." Feng Daiwen hurriedly said modestly.

"Don't be modest, there are only you and me here, and this is not a flattery. "Sun Tzu's Art of War·Position" says: "All warriors use righteousness to win by surprise. "You defeat the enemy with an upright and upright division. You are invincible and have strong strength. Why not?" Li Jing interrupted Feng Daiwen's modesty and continued.

"Furthermore, you use it for wonder, not in military affairs, but in agriculture, in business, and in education. You are more fierce, fiercer, and more thorough in dealing with the enemy. This old man is ashamed of himself."

"Brother Shi and others are not bad, and they are not weak if they are cultivated." Feng Daiwen was too embarrassed to be praised, so he had to praise others.

"Hmph! It's hard to do, the force is not as good as the old man's, and the mind is even worse. At most, he is no more than a county. The Cheng family and the Yuchi family are not weak in force, but the mind is still much worse than his father.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has been changing with each passing day in the past few years. You and the Holy One have promoted changes, and everything is developing on the good side. "I have to say that Li Jing's vision of seeing people is very accurate, and there is almost no difference in the reviews.

"Datang will use high-quality equipment in the future. As long as the generals are not idiots, it will be difficult to win the battle." Feng Daiwen relieved.

"Throughout the ages, talents like yours are few and far between. Fortunately, I was born decades earlier, otherwise the light of talents in this world would be covered up by you." Li Jing sighed. It's hard not to be shocked.

"Mr. Wei is too flattering. It's a big deal to spread these words. There are enough people who hate me to death. When it comes to weapons and equipment, I will think of something in the end, and I need the help of the Ministry of War." Feng Daiwen said quickly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, if you have something to say!" Li Jing was surprised that Feng Daiwen would ask for something again, and couldn't help being shocked. This was also because Feng Daiwen seldom gave orders and always talked about it.

"According to records, there is fat water in Gaonu County, and oil in Yanchuan, that is, Menghuo oil. It is packed in barrels in large quantities, and it will be refined at the end." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Menghuo oil is generally the top secret of the imperial court, and it's not easy for me to order too much to come back. Does this thing have other functions?" Li Jing asked puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, the lower officials will inform the Holy Majesty, uncle, don't worry, as for this water still, also known as stone lacquer, after refining, it can not only produce fire oil that is more conducive to burning, but also get fuel oil for lighting. It can be said to be very useful. We can only let future generations specialize in their own research, and even the remaining residues are good things for road construction." Feng Daiwen introduced the functions of gasoline and asphalt.

"Well, as long as there is an imperial edict, the old man will let the Ministry of War fully cooperate." Li Jing nodded and agreed.

Then Li Jing began to guide Feng Daiwen in various battles, from the three campaigns to Goguryeo to the recent Japanese Island War, pointing out the flaws, timing control, and use of troops.

One is teaching with heart, the other is learning with heart. From time to time, they are deduced in the sand table. Feng Daiwen's many views of later generations also refreshed Li Jing's ears. Feel.

It wasn't until he held the lamp that he realized that it was getting late. Feng Daiwen took Chen Hu, Chen Xiong, and four personal guards to leave Weiguo's mansion after eating with Li Jing. This was also Feng Daiwen's arrangement for going out. Let the guards do some errands, or bring at most one person with them, and since the Chen family brothers have been with him, they will not leave the house for half a step unless there is something to do. It is true that Feng Daiwen kills a lot, so he has to be careful. Someone got revenge.
