Sun Dayong hurriedly bowed and said: "This is what my lord taught me."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I'm not lecturing you, but as a general of Luoyan Army, how can you fight if you don't have confidence in your own troops and horses? Of course, confidence does not necessarily bring victory, and I never think that confidence
Courage is the only factor that determines victory, but it is definitely the primary factor. Only on this basis can we talk about equipment and tactics. No matter how well-equipped the soldiers and horses are, if there is no courage and military spirit, it will be a castle in the air.
If you attack, you will be defeated. Look at the battle between the Jurchens and the Liao people. This is an example. The equipment of the Liao people is not inferior to that of the Jurchens, but what is the result?"
Everyone nodded. Mr. Lin is not a pragmatic person. He is actually the person who pays the most attention to the equipment and tactics of the Luoyan Army. It can be seen from everything he has built for the Luoyan Army, ranging from a swarm of firearms, armor and blades;
He put all his effort into the design of the dry food and medicine he carried, the design of the diagonal straps of the backpack he wore, etc. It can be seen that he is not the kind of person who just shouts slogans. But Mr. Lin has always emphasized one thing, that is, in addition to equipment
The courageous spirit of daring to fight to the death without fear of powerful enemies, and the self-confidence to win in the face of powerful enemies. Lin Jue calls them the "military soul". An army that loses its soul will never be able to defeat its opponent.
"It's good that you are discussing who is stronger or weaker after the encounter between our Luoyan Army and the Jurchens. Soldiers should have a competitive spirit. When meeting opponents, they should make comparisons and think about their shortcomings and our strengths. Because no one knows us.
Will we meet on the battlefield in the future? Regarding the specific matter of our Luoyan Army and the Jurchens fighting against each other, I have a few opinions that we can discuss together." Lin Jue softened his tone and smiled.
Sun Dayong and others hurriedly raised their hands and said: "We are willing to listen to your advice."
Lin Jue nodded, picked up a piece of heated compressed sugar biscuit, took a small bite, chewed it, thought for a moment and said: "In today's battle, we have to admit that the Jurchens are indeed very powerful. Even I am impressed by the Jurchens. According to reports,
I know that the Jurchen tribe lived in poverty near Changbai Mountain and struggled to survive. But it was precisely because of the harsh environment that these brave Jurchen warriors were created. You have all seen their fighting methods. They are like wild beasts.
They will never give up without putting their opponents to death. This not only shows that the Jurchens are brave in fighting, but also has a great psychological impact on their opponents. People fight against each other, you know.
The other party is also a human being, and he also has fear. But as an opponent of the Jurchens, you will feel that they are just a group of beasts. What can you do in the face of a group of fearless beasts?"
In army battles, the defeated side is often defeated because of the collapse of its will. Historically, in large-scale army battles, the losing side does not fight to the last man, but when its own casualties reach a critical point, a dramatic psychological change will occur.
Under the control of fear, the result is fear of the enemy and flight. It is the nature of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Some people are indeed determined and willing to die, but how many such people can there be in a soldier? When your
When the opponent is a group of fearless beasts and has no fear of death, it is impossible to defeat the opponent from a will level. The only thing that can be done is to kill them all, or be killed by them. In this situation
Next, your own side is often the one that cannot hold on, because you will feel that it is impossible to fight with a group of lifeless beasts without fear.
If you can win something, you will first collapse psychologically. This is what Lin Jue said.
"In terms of combat skills, the Jurchens are actually not that powerful. The technique of turning the crescent knife in one hand is amazing, but compared with our repeating crossbow, it is not a big deal. Apart from being dazzling, it is actually not necessary.
.The primary purpose of military combat is to defeat the opponent with simple and direct tactics and weapons. Just like fighting, I can knock you down with one punch, so why bother to go around and do fancy things? Just hit the vital point with one punch.
Of course, the Jurchens did not deliberately show off their skills. The method of throwing spinning knives may be what they think is the simplest and most direct method. And we think the simple and effective method is to kill the opponent with one shot, or to shoot with a crossbow.
Kill them. So, it’s not worth being amazed by their spinning knives and thinking how powerful they are." Lin Jue continued.
Sun Dayong nodded and said: "What you said is absolutely true. Just now, my subordinates were still thinking that this method of throwing weapons is a bit stupid. The only weapon the Jurchens have is the crescent knife. If the crescent knife is thrown,
If you don't come back, wouldn't it mean that you are bare-handed? No matter how good their skills are, these people will definitely miss. If they fight with us, we can use rope nets to block the spinning blades. If they dare to do such tricks in front of us
, so that all of them will be reduced to lambs to be slaughtered with their bare hands."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Interesting, this is an interesting idea. It's interesting to think about it. If you fight with the Jurchens, the Jurchens will throw the knife, and then they will be bare-handed. Wouldn't they all be embarrassed to death and look at each other? They have no weapons.
A spanking?"
Everyone burst into laughter as they imagined that scene.
"Isn't it like being a meat bun and beating a dog, with no return?" shouted one of the guards.
Everyone was stunned, and Sun Dayong scolded: "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense. Are you saying that our Luoyan Army are all dogs?"
The guard blushed and stammered out an explanation. Everyone laughed.
Lin Jue smiled and waved his hands and said: "Everyone, this is just a joke. The Jurchens will not be that stupid. Haven't you seen that once the enemy flees, they will use this method to hunt down the enemy? In real combat, they will not
Will do this. Don’t think that the Jurchens are brainless. It is absolutely not allowed to underestimate the opponent. Many people died because of underestimating the enemy. Moreover, the Jurchens are not brainless. On the contrary, it can be seen from this battle that they have quite high abilities.
Military literacy. Judging from their method of pretending to attack the ferry and setting up an ambush to snipe the enemy, Wanyan Aguda is well versed in the art of using troops. Moreover, I am now convinced that they can hide all of their more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the grassland without revealing any flaws.
I am very impressed. Wanyan Aguda’s approach reminded me. Maybe our Luoyan Army soldiers and horses should also find a way to make camouflage uniforms and the like to facilitate the concealment of our soldiers and horses."
"Camouflage uniform? What is that?" Sun Dayong said in astonishment.
Lin Jue hurriedly smiled and said: "This...I can't explain it to you for the time being, let alone talking about this. The fact that the entire Jurchen army can hide on the grassland shows their ability to hide and set up ambushes. This also reminds us that if we follow the Jurchens
If you want to fight, you must have an insight into their hidden abilities. Otherwise, you may fall into their ambush without even realizing it."
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. The Jurchens' ability in this regard is really impressive. We never found the traces of their hiding before. If it weren't for us
We don’t have to set foot on the battlefield, otherwise we might accidentally stumble into their ambush without realizing it." Sun Dayong nodded repeatedly.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Yes, fortunately we are cautious, otherwise the feeling of being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Jurchens would probably be very bad."
"It's not just bad, it's simply terrible." Gao Muqing laughed from the sidelines.
Lin Jue coughed and said: "So, based on what I said above, I have a few opinions about the Jurchens. They are indeed a powerful army. They are not afraid of life and death. They fight fiercely. They are as ferocious as tigers and wolves, but they are also as fierce as tigers and wolves.
They are as flexible as apes. They are good at hiding themselves, taking things by surprise, and their whereabouts are secretive. Moreover, it can be seen that Wanyan Agu is good at using soldiers and tactics. He is by no means the imaginary barbarian tribe who only rushes and kills without thinking.
.The Jurchens are in today’s situation not because of luck, but because of their real strength.”
Everyone nodded slightly and remained silent. Lin Jue continued: "However, the Jurchens also have their obvious weaknesses. Last night's battle exposed the single and unreasonable side of their tactics. They are obviously used to close combat and are not good at long-range combat.
Strike. It is actually very easy for an army with a single tactics to be caught in its weakness. The Liao people's firepower is not strong enough, so the Jurchens broke through the formation last night. If it were me, the Luoyan Army, the Jurchens would not be able to break through so easily.
Our formation. Our repeating crossbows and firearms will make them pay a heavy price and let them know what a truly devastating blow is. It is not that the Jurchens are not afraid, they are also human beings, and there is no fear. Only
But they have more endurance and tenacity than others. The limit of what they can endure is much higher than others. I am very curious, if under the attack of a swarm of rocket launchers from my Luoyan Army, the Jurchens can still survive
I can't maintain their patience and tenacity. If I have this opportunity, I would like to see the result with my own eyes."
After listening to Lin Jue's analysis, all the personal guards felt that the confusion in their hearts disappeared. Sometimes when Lord Lin spoke, it was cloudy and foggy, but sometimes he could see the light of day. After what Lord Lin said, they suddenly felt that the Jurchens were no more than mediocre, and some of their previous ideas were no more.
It's so rare and strange.
"In my opinion, the most terrifying thing about the Jurchen army is not the army itself, but the person Wanyan Aguda. Today's battle proved that he is an excellent leader, with a clear mind and superior strategy. Because of him, the Jurchens
The leader has become so scary. The Liao people are probably in trouble. With tonight's defeat, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed. I guess the Liao army crossing the river will also stop crossing the river. I'm afraid they won't dare to provoke the Jurchens again.
After this defeat, the Liao people were severely weakened. The large troops and horses in the south were restrained by the Zhou Dynasty, and no reinforcements may arrive. At this moment, all the troops and horses in the Zhongjing Road may not be able to compete with the Jurchens. I don’t know about the Yelv Zong Yuanhui
How to do it? Today's battle must be bad news for Yelu Zongyuan." Lin Jue took a bite of the sugar cake and chewed it slowly.
Sun Dayong said solemnly: "What do you mean, sir, after this battle, all the Liao troops in Zhongjing Road will not be opponents of the Jurchens? In terms of quantity, the total horse and infantry troops in Zhongjing Road must be 300,000. Are they really unable to compete?
?”
Lin Jue looked at Sun Dayong and slowly shook his head and said: "Brother Sun, do you know what a plate of loose sand is? Do you know what a frightened bird is? The Jurchens destroyed the 120,000 main cavalry of the Liao Army with one move. Who else dares to fight with him?"
