Chapter 2974 Chapter 2976 [Wen Tao and Military Strategy]
Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng selected stones that were slightly larger than the muzzle of the cannon. So the muzzle was blocked immediately.
?Just three explosions were heard: boom, boom, boom. The three cannons exploded because their muzzles were blocked.
??Although the remaining one did not explode, its power was greatly reduced.
??And because the artillery exploded, dozens of Persian warriors were blown away for a while, leaving gaps in the Yuan soldiers'' defense.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to order the heroes to light up the cannons, and when they heard several booms of cannons, both Yuan soldiers and Persian warriors were knocked upside down by the explosion.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity and used his magic power to kill the two thousand captains even though they were two hundred meters away.
?However, the Yuan soldiers were tough after all. After a period of chaos, they quickly formed their formation and charged forward with their shields.
Xiang Nan once again ordered people to fire artillery. Although many people were killed, the power of the artillery at this time was still too small, and it was also slow to load. The interval between firing a shot was at least three minutes.
So after the second round of shooting, Yuan soldiers had already arrived at the pass and began to engage in close combat with the heroes.
Fortunately at this time, due to the melee between the two sides, the Yuan soldiers'' bows and arrows were useless.
Without the fire suppression of the Yuan people, the heroes can exert their advantages in close combat. Moreover, the huge trees, rocks, etc. that were prepared before have also come in handy and can be thrown away.
For a time, the sound of grunting was endless, and the steep mountain road was full of Yuan soldiers and Persian warriors who were injured or killed by rolling logs and rocks.
?Huge trees and rocks also destroyed the formation of Yuan soldiers, causing their originally solid and marching formation to become loose and chaotic.
Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng took the opportunity to charge forward with the heroes.
He and Zhang Sanfeng served as vanguards and arrowheads, and then specially selected heroes who had practiced hard skills, wearing heavy armor and holding spears, to follow closely...
Such a team is comparable to a highly refined soldier, and even has much higher physical strength than modern special forces.
Hence, if you really put it together, you will be very dominant and invincible.
…
In ancient cold weapon warfare, formation was crucial.
Like the famous Macedonian phalanx, all the soldiers lined up, marched together, and worked together.
Shaped like an airtight wall of spear points, it will kill all enemies in front of it.
But if the formation is messed up and the enemy rushes into the battle formation, the coordination of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, and they will become a mess and can only be killed by others.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, when the Jin soldiers fought, they would first use the heavily armored cavalry as arrows to tear open the Song army''s defense line. Then other soldiers rushed after him.
?As long as one round of attack cannot stop it, the Song army will collapse quickly.
This is what Xiang Nan is using now.
?He and Zhang Sanfeng were equipped with strong weapons and rushed all the way, like rampaging elephants or dinosaurs.
?Those Yuan soldiers and Persian warriors were elite soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles, but they were completely incomparable to Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng. Therefore, they could not stop them at all, and their formations were completely overwhelmed.
He was then killed by a group of heroes who followed him, and he was beaten to pieces.
?Qunhao has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years or even decades, and has extremely rich combat experience. It''s just that they are not good at battle formations or fighting regular battles, but when it comes to killing, they are all experts.
?Hence, in less than a stick of incense, Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng led the heroes to kill each other.
The Persian warriors in front were almost all killed or injured. Only Yuan Bing, who was at the back, turned around and ran away when he saw the bad situation.
??However, thousands more corpses appeared on the mountain road of Wudang Mountain. Half of the main force of the Yuan soldiers were lost, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
Although there were also casualties among the heroes, they used the strength of a thousand people to repel ten thousand soldiers and horses, defeating the many with the few, and defeating the strong with the weak. They also showed their own majesty, which made them excited. Mr. Jin Yong always mentioned in his novels that no matter how high a knight''s martial arts skills are, it is difficult to compete with the army.
?His reason is that marching to fight is different from fighting alone in a joust. Thousands of soldiers swarmed forward like a tide, no matter how powerful their martial arts skills were, it would be difficult to stop them.
But in fact, if the heroes are organized well, they are more powerful than any soldiers.
??After all, the heroes have been practicing martial arts for many years, and their physical fitness is comparable to that of modern special forces, let alone those soldiers in ancient times. They are definitely considered the best of the best.
?It is more powerful than the Iron Buddha, the trapped camp, the Wei army, and the Xue army.
As expected, Xiang Nan was at his best this time, killing thousands of soldiers in one go. Those who were lucky enough to survive could only flee.
…
After suffering this defeat, Yuan Bing finally hid back in the village and could not escape.
Xiang Nan knew that it would take at least half a day for them to digest this defeat.
After all, it takes time to reorganize the defeated troops and rebuild their morale.
Therefore, he left a group of people to continue to guard the pass and report any news in a timely manner. He and the heroes returned to Zixiao Palace and continued the banquet.
“Song Shaoxia, you are worthy of being a star from heaven. You are good at everything in literature, martial arts and military strategy. I am really impressed by you!”
"Song Shaoxia, with you leading us, why worry about the Tatars not being driven out and the Han people unable to recover the country?"
“Young Master Song, we have great ambitions to eat the meat of Huns, and laugh and drink the blood of Huns. We can achieve great victory this time, all thanks to you!”
The Tao that all heroes admire.
They thought that facing an encirclement and suppression by 20,000 elite soldiers, they would definitely be doomed this time.
After all, many of them have fought against Yuan Bing, and they can deal with at most seven or eight at the same time, but it will be difficult to deal with more than ten.
This time we have to deal with an army of 20,000 people. If things go wrong, they will all have to sacrifice this time.
Unexpectedly, under the command of Xiang Nan, not only did they not die, but they also won a great victory. Killing nearly 10,000 yuan soldiers really made him feel bad.
In the future, if this matter spreads, all of them who participated will be honored.
"Everyone is so complimentary." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Since everyone can trust me, I can''t let you down. From this battle, we can see that the Yuan soldiers are not invincible, and we Han people should also be more confident in resisting tyranny. That''s right.
??And everyone has also seen that on the battlefield, feints and tricks are useless. You can only fight hard and fight head-on. This is actually a weakening for us martial arts people.
Therefore, I advise everyone that when they return to their respective territories in the future, they should not think about a head-on confrontation with Yuan soldiers, but respond flexibly, avoid direct confrontation and instead engage in guerrilla harassment.
For example, assassinating Tatar officials, burning Tatar grain and grass, stealing Tatar warehouses, stealing Tatar intelligence, etc. As long as we can attack the strength of the Tatars and shake the rule of the Tatars, we will contribute to the anti-Yuan Dynasty. You don''t have to go out and kill the enemy in person. "
“Okay, Young Master Song said it well.”
“Let’s do this when we get back!”
“Kill the Tatar officials, rob the Tatar grain, and burn the Tatar grass!”
?The heroes cheered one after another.
?Many of them have made trouble before, but because they are not familiar with the art of war and strategy, they often act recklessly and end up being defeated instead of succeeding.
?Now after listening to Xiang Nan''s advice, I know what the uprising is about, and I can''t help but gain a lot of knowledge. I feel like listening to you for a while is better than reading ten years of books.
