Chapter 59 I have a way
Bai Fan was speechless. It was certain that it was difficult to fight the war. If it weren't for it, it would be necessary to gather so many people today? Xu Maogong, an old Taoist priest, wasn't it nonsense. Besides, cavalry is not good, so I can find a way. I have a trick to defeat the cavalry with my own swords. I have read hundreds of military books on the first floor of the library. There are such tricks in both Chinese and foreign history.
As for the money and food issue? He did not believe that the Tang Dynasty had no money? In the history of the Weishui Alliance, Li Shimin killed the alliance between the White Horse and the Turkic Jie Li Khan, and reached a non-aggression agreement. At that time, Li Shimin plundered the entire city of property and gave it to the Turks to achieve this. I think that time must have been slaughtered by the Turks once!
It is said that since the Wei River Alliance, even the palace has been saving money. Queen Changsun has not bought a new piece of clothing for three years and has grown vegetables for food by herself. You can imagine what it was plundered that time!
From this point of view, hem! The Tang Dynasty is not without money, but the treasury has no money. The real money is in the hands of the powerful and nobles. Not to mention the nobles of the five surnames and seven families, the thousands of years of nobles are just among the civil and military families. Although many of them are from grassroots, it is no problem for the family to have assets of tens of thousands of yuan. I remember that I won the property of Changsun Chong and others in Wangjinglou. It was worth 3,000 taels. All four children can carry so many valuables. It is conceivable whether they have money?
Humph! A group of corrupt officials, before they could hold a knife on your neck, they didn't know that they would go to the national crisis together. They were only active when they spent money to buy their lives. Bai Fan was powerless to complain about it anymore. Li Shimin definitely knew about this, but what could he do? It seems that this emperor is not easy to do!
Bai Fan, who figured it out, had a thought in his mind. It would be better to ignore these guys and let them be killed by foreign races, and know that they are hurt! But reason tells himself that when the war comes, the suffering will always be the common people, and officials will not be able to eat enough!
After pondering for a moment, Bai Fan said, "I have two ways to deal with the enemy's cavalry. Although it may not guarantee a complete victory in the enemy, it can at least make up for the disadvantages of our cavalry and increase the chances of victory!"
Oh? Is this kid so smart? Why does he have a solution when no one has any idea?
Li Shimin said, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly. As long as it works, even though the war has not started yet, I can be the master of the decision to write down your achievements first. Then please report to the saint to give you an additional title!"
"No, I'm just moving my mouth. As long as our Tang Dynasty can block the iron hooves of the barbarians, Bai Fan likes freedom and doesn't care about official titles!
I have some good tools in my hand that can be equipped on the war horse. With this thing, I guarantee that even those who are good at riding horses can be more agile in combat on horseback, and those who are proficient in equestrianism can be as flexible as walking on the ground!"
The civil officials did not understand the rules here, but the military generals understood it. They urged Bai Fan to take it out one after another. Bai Fan said that he would draw the drawings later and hand them over to the general to create secretly. You can tell at a try!
"I also have a book of battle formations with infantry cavalry. Although I cannot let infantry be completely abused, it is still possible to block enemy cavalry with the same number of people. This battle can achieve one-to-one battle losses with infantry cavalry!"
The so-called "shocking" is not awesome and endless death is now at this time. What is the concept of infantry fighting against cavalry?
You should know what cavalry meant in ancient times when cold weapons combat? Wherever cavalry passed, it often meant massacre! Especially when cavalry combat was fighting on the plains, a team of cavalry formed was like a torrent, and no grass grew wherever it passed!
In ancient times, cavalry was equivalent to tank and armored vehicles in modern warfare. Unless it was shot with dense arrow rain from a distance, if the cavalry was allowed to approach the infantry, the infantry's defense was often as fragile as paper.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, why was Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Iron Cavalry able to defeat Chang'an and Luoyang at lightning speed? In the end, the eighteen princes formed a alliance to serve the king and were defeated. In addition to the eighteen princes having their own ulterior motives, Dong Zhuo's strength was also the key. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry fought with the Hu people outside the border for many years, and when they arrived in the Central Plains, they were simply invincible!
In this era, cavalry is more about cavalry. If it weren't for the helplessness, no one would use infantry against cavalry. If a general could use infantry to fight cavalry to achieve a three-to-one record, it would be amazing. He deserves to be called a famous general. You can imagine what Bai Fan's battle loss means?
Bai Fan's second strategy is basically no one believes. I have never heard of such a military strategy before, so how could it be in the hands of a boy?
Li Shimin believed it, and Yuan Tiangang also believed it because they all knew Bai Fan's origin.
"This is your master's unique skill. Are you willing to take it out for others to learn?" Li Shimin asked.
Bai Fan smiled, "The existence of knowledge is to serve the people. The military strategy taught by the family teacher is the learning to protect the country and the people. If we ignore the lives of the people for the sake of cherishing ourselves, then what is the use of us to learn this knowledge?
Moreover, if you want to improve your knowledge, you must make breakthroughs in communication and application. You can take it out and let the generals experiment and verify what Bai Fan has learned. This is a huge benefit. If any general can innovate and come up with better ideas, it would be even better, proving that this knowledge has improved!
Isn’t the master’s unique skills just to carry forward knowledge?
But Bai Fan said here that I can teach this kind of military strategy for free, and I don’t prohibit you from teaching it down!
There is only one thing, that is, I will never allow the Chinese skills to be passed on to foreign races. The emergence of Chinese military art is to protect our Chinese people, and it is not for the other party to learn how to bite us in the future. In that way, I, Bai Fan, will become a capital enemy!
If I know that such dirty things will happen in the future, if I kill one, Bai Fan will definitely get it back in his lifetime!"
At the end of the conversation, Bai Fan's tone was already murderous!
OK! Li Shimin shouted loudly! Not only him, but none of the civil and military officials present did not agree and applauded!
That's why China's unique skills are to protect the people of China. This is a wonderful statement! Gu Hui listed it as the first item of our Tang Dynasty military law, and Gu is also a famous saying. All generals remember this statement and must abide by it. If there is any disobedience, the crime will be treasonable. Gu will be the first to come out to destroy it!
I dare not! The ministers answered in unison.
Li Jing patted Bai Fan on the shoulder and praised with a smile, "No, it's very good! It's in line with my wishes!"
Hou Junji said loudly, "Brother Bai is willing to teach the master's unique skills. We are very grateful. My Tang Dynasty and the barbarians are mortal enemies. If anyone dares not speak morally in the future, my old man will be the first to refuse to agree. Here, the old man can make a vow. If he dares to pass on the Chinese skills to foreign races, he will not be able to die a good death together!"
OK! Everyone was speechless. Why is this guy so cruel? He can even swear to him?
How could they know that Hou Junji hated foreign races the most in this life, so he said that Bai Fan was simply talking about his heart!
Immediately afterwards, Niu Jinda also came out to make an oath!
OK, this is another foreign terminator! Everyone thought!
Finally, due to the situation, everyone made an oath. Bai Fan did not expect that he would gain such a reward. Although he knew that the oath was useless, the ancients of this era believed it very much!
Chapter completed!
