Chapter 1141 Lectures on Military Affairs in the Martial Arts Hall
"Coming out of the mountain" was an invitation, and Guan Ning bit hard on these two words because he felt that Yu Wenxiong deserved these words.
Guan Ning continued: "Wei and Liang have formed an alliance. The scale of this war will not be small, nor will it end easily. It will be a big war."
"I will personally lead the expedition, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take into account the overall situation. This war requires many commanders of large corps. After much thought, I have concluded that you will be the one who has the ability to command large-scale operations and has outstanding military ability.
"
"Your Majesty is serious."
Yu Wenxiong sat up straight. He didn't expect Guan Ning to say this, and he really felt valued.
"How can a defeated general speak bravely? Yu Wenxiong deserves to be respected by His Majesty."
"It is rare for a good minister to meet a wise master. It was Emperor Longjing who was ashamed of you. If he had trusted you and appointed you at that time, my victory would not have been so smooth."
Guan Ning said: "You should know that I am not that kind of person."
"My lord, I will do my best."
Yu Wenxiong stood up and knelt down on one knee to respond.
When it comes to this, if he doesn't agree, it means he doesn't appreciate it.
"Get up quickly."
Guan Ning helped him personally.
Before coming, he really wasn't sure that he could invite Yu Wenxiong.
He also has a love for talents, which is why he kept Yu Wenxiong in the first place. He also promised not to force Yu Wenxiong to do anything.
But this time it is needed.
This time we are facing attacks from two countries at the same time. The battle front is long and the scale of the war is huge. It cannot be presided over by one person.
Guan Ning can take charge of the overall situation, but it is difficult to control the local battle situation, which requires people with the ability to fight in large groups to participate in the battle and command.
Yu Wenxiong can definitely stand alone.
He is even better than himself in traditional combat!
"Do you have any military maps?"
"The most indispensable thing in the martial arts hall is military pictures."
Yu Wenxiong stood up and went to a cabinet, took out a volume and unfolded it on the table.
This is exactly a military map.
"It's quite detailed. Is this the latest military map?"
Guan Ning looked at it and saw that there were still ink drawings on it. He knew that although Yu Wenxiong was in the martial arts hall, he had been paying attention to the situation on the mainland.
You can see it from this military map.
"It's the latest military map. Once Pang Pang came to teach martial arts, and I asked for a copy."
"It seems that you have already anticipated the alliance between Wei and Liang."
Guan Ning saw that Wei and Liang used the same broad strokes in their military drawings.
"This is inevitable."
Yu Wenxiong said in a low voice: "It was you who promoted the alliance between Wei and Liang. The new dynasty was established, Daning was founded, and you were able to win against the Liang Kingdom's offensive of millions of troops."
"I have done offensive and defensive drills. Many times, Daning failed. There was almost no possibility of winning. But in the end, Liang Guo failed."
"Did you include firearms in that?"
Guan Ning asked.
The Martial Arts Hall has courses dedicated to teaching firearms, and Yu Wenxiong, as the chief instructor, naturally knows about it.
Firearms are no longer a secret among Daning’s top brass. After all, they have been around for a long time.
"Forget it, the role of firearms is just the icing on the cake and cannot affect the victory of the battle."
Yu Wenxiong said: "Firearms are powerful weapons, but their flaws are also quite obvious."
"It is thick and clumsy, making it difficult to maintain mobility. It can hardly exert its power in rainy weather, and the attack gap is long... It is actually very simple to break it. Send a suicide squad to destroy it at close range. It is absolutely difficult for firearms to exert their power."
Yu Wenxiong’s views on firearms are very thorough, and what he talks about are actual problems.
Due to limitations in productivity, firearms can never reach the modern level. They can be measured according to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are many shortcomings.
"Then where do you think Liang Guo was defeated?"
"Gather!"
Yu Wenxiong uttered one word.
"Liang Guo concentrated all his troops with the intention of maximizing his advantages. There is naturally no problem with this consideration, but he ignored that your Majesty's army was by no means comparable to the motley army of Xizong in the previous dynasty. It was a well-disciplined and military-spirited army.
An army that is not afraid of death."
Xizong.
Guan Ning noticed Yu Wenxiong's address to Emperor Long Jing, and couldn't help but laugh...
"If you fail to succeed in the first attack, it will be difficult to win no matter how you fight later."
Yu Wenxiong said: "It is precisely because of the concentration of troops that we can take advantage of the opportunity. The success of several sneak attacks is because Liang Jun is too concentrated."
Guan Ning listened carefully.
He knew that Yu Wenxiong had used this battle as a case to teach in the martial arts hall, and even assigned a question on how Liang Guo could win.
This question is easy to answer.
According to the ratio of troops and the difference in national strength, Liang Guo is a sure winner.
You can ask how Daning wins.
But it stumped everyone.
This battle has been analyzed many times, and Yu Wenxiong has long been familiar with it.
What he said is correct.
The success of the sneak attack by Pojun's special forces, and the subsequent fire attack encountered by Liangjun's large-scale attack, were all due to too many and too concentrated troops.
If you concentrate your troops, you will cause casualties to yourself in the chaos.
Hearing this, Guan Ning already knew what Yu Wenxiong was going to say.
"The title of Emperor Wu of Liang is real. His military ability is super strong. He will naturally learn from his mistakes and will not make the same mistakes again."
"So, he will definitely divide his troops in this attack!"
Yu Wenxiong was very sure.
"There are two ways to take advantage of the strength of troops. One is to concentrate, concentrating all the troops to focus on one point, and the other is to divide the troops!"
"Spread out the troops and expand the battlefield. However, our troops are insufficient and unable to cope with it. In the end, we are overwhelmed and unable to take care of the beginning and the end, thus losing."
clever.
Guan Ning was filled with admiration in her heart.
He guessed that what Yu Wenxiong said was exactly the same as what the Wei and Liang states thought, but they should also be inseparable.
Guan Ning also thought about it carefully.
The Tiance Mansion Military Plane Conference, the War Department, etc. all discussed it and finally came to this conclusion.
Yu Wenxiong said it directly.
"Your Majesty, please see the military map."
"When the war begins, the places where Daning and Wei and Liang meet will have soldiers from both countries. These places will become battlefields, including mountains and waters!"
Yu Wenxiong said in a deep voice: "As you said, Emperor Wu of Liang really deployed troops on a large scale. With their superior military strength, they will definitely be able to do it!"
There is nothing wrong with this analysis.
Guan Ning once again admired Yu Wenxiong's talent.
"Then how do you think we should deal with it?"
“It’s hard to deal with!”
Yu Wenxiong said: "No matter how Daning's troops are recruited, including the cavalry of the southern barbarians and northern barbarians, it is difficult to compare with these two countries."
"Moreover, the advantage of the cavalry may not be fully utilized. If the Liang Kingdom holds on desperately on land and focuses its main attack on mountains and waters, the advantage of the cavalry will not be fully utilized."
What he said is correct.
The cavalry can have a strong advantage in flat and vast lands, but it is difficult to have other advantages.
"Besides, the strategy that Your Majesty used before to attack Huanglong may not be successful."
