Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 102
"'Three-stage attack'? I don't know what is the method?" Before Zhu Su could speak, Li Wenzhong asked with interest.He is also old enough to fight and fight against people, and he knows that the tactics that can arouse the interest of a famous general of Xu Da's level must have their merits.

"It was deduced by Lao Wu, and it was used to deal with the situation when the Central Army was in ambush." ​​Zhu Di, who was excited, answered first. "It's nothing more than dividing the gunners into three rows and firing in turn, so as to ensure continuous firepower and suppress the cavalry charge from the front..."

As he said that, he described the three-duan strike in detail again.

Li Wenzhong listened intently, and nodded after listening: "This method is ingenious. Compared with bows and arrows, firecrackers are easier to practice and quicker to use. If an ordinary archer uses a heavy bow, he will lose strength after shooting five arrows at most. And The firecracker does not waste muscle strength, from this aspect, it can indeed be continuous.”

"So, this method really can defeat the Northern Yuan cavalry?" Zhu Di said pleasantly.

"Hehe, not necessarily. One is that the range of the firecracker is limited and the reloading is slow. If the enemy soldiers charge up, one person may only be able to shoot two shots. Even with the method of three-stage shooting, the enemy can still pass by at this distance If you want to really achieve the continuous effect, you may need [-] or [-] rounds of strikes. However, to resist the same number of cavalry, you need several times as many gunners as the cavalry, which is too wasteful. The gain outweighs the loss."

"Secondly, after the firecracker has been fired several times, the barrel is often too hot to be used again, and needs to be left to cool down. It is impossible to keep firing like that."

"Third, this method requires the musketeers to stay calm in the face of danger, and have the ability to not change color when a mountain collapses in front of them. It must be known that the cavalry charge is often shocking. The frontal charge continues to use the three-stage attack step by step in the face of danger. Such an army must be a very remarkable elite. If there are such elites, they can think of other ways to break the cavalry, and there is no need to take the risk of using the three-stage attack. "

As expected of a famous general, Zhu Su immediately admired Li Wenzhong when he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the three-duan strike so clearly after listening to a few words.Who said that people who traveled to ancient times were the smartest people?Even with the added insight of future generations, he is still a fool.

"The boy thought of this method behind closed doors. I don't know if it can be used, so I made a big lie. It has become my Ming Zhao Kuo. Now I only know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well after hearing what you said, Brother Baoer. I have been taught!" Zhu Su bowed his hands to Li Wenzhong to thank .

Li Wenzhong waved his hand quickly, and Xu Da also smiled and said, "Why is your Highness so modest? You can come up with a solution to the situation on the spot without going to the battlefield. Although there are some flaws, it is extremely rare. In time, you will definitely become my Great Ming." Famous general, expand the territory for our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Su smiled awkwardly.He has no interest in going to war.On the other hand, Zhu Di, who was standing next to him, saw that Zhu Su got this evaluation, and looked at him with envy.

"So, firecrackers are not as effective as ordinary infantry and cavalry? Then how did you escape from the encirclement, Uncle Xu?" Zhu asked beside him.

"Third Highness's words are not entirely true. The firecrackers naturally have the function of firecrackers. After the defeat of the Northern Expedition, I used the method of step by step to delay the Yuan army with camps, fighting and retreating."

"If I can know the method of the three-stage attack in advance, learn how Wang Baobao feigned defeat on the way to retreat, and then set up horses, antlers and other things to delay the cavalry, and set up a three-stage fire gun position in the front..."

As he spoke, Xu Da patted his knee a little excitedly. "Then Wang Baobao put all his heart into the battle and did his best. He would definitely lead the cavalry to attack our commander-in-chief. I can use the method of three-stage attack to ambush the enemy army with a sudden burst of powerful firepower. Wang Baobao shot his fangs to death in front of the army."

Xu Da's tone was quite regretful.Zhu Su admired it in his heart.When he said the three-stage strike, what he thought of was the example of the Japanese Warring States Period, when the Oda family firearms used the three-stage strike against the Takeda Chibei cavalry.In this battle example, the Oda family set up a bait to lure the Takeda cavalry, and waited for work, supplemented by repelling horses and other objects to stop the cavalry.

It is basically the same as the application method envisaged by Xu Da.If Zhu Su's idea is just a talk on paper and has no practical value, then Xu Da has converted this talk on paper into a concrete and feasible combat plan with his military talent.

This made Zhu Su feel quite ashamed of playing tricks.

"So, the firecracker still has a lot to do!" Zhu Di said excitedly from the side.When he heard Zhu Su's three-stage attack, he was full of joy and thought it was a good idea. The three-stage attack was criticized by Li Wenzhong just now, which really made him feel like he was struck by lightning.I just thought that my vision is not good enough, and I have studied the rags as treasures for so long.

It wasn't until Fu heard Xu Da's affirmation of the three-duan attack that he regained his spirits.

Xu Da didn't answer, Li Wenzhong on the side had always been close to Zhu Di, but he nodded in affirmation.Zhu Yan asked Xu Da and his son to sit down, and they sat down together and began to tell some anecdotes about the Northern Expedition.

"I have solved those three questions." Xu Yungong suddenly approached Zhu Su and said in a low voice, and told Zhu Su the answer, adding another sentence. "Not so much."

"Oh?" Zhu Su grinned. "Is it solved, or tested? Don't just give the answer, why don't you talk about the solution?"

Xu Yungong hesitated.Where does he have any solution?Among the three questions, except for the first one which he solved by himself, his sister Xu Miaoyun solved the other two.Just like this, it took several days for each question, and the last question was filled with water, and there was no clue what to do.

In the end, I really had to use a stupid method, counting one by one, and trying to find the answer.

"I... I don't believe you have a definite solution!" Xu Yungong still insisted.

Zhu Su smiled lightly, using his finger as a pen, and with his drink on his face, he solved the three problems step by step for Xu Yungong.Seeing Zhu Su solve the chicken and rabbit in the same cage question in a short time, hundreds of times faster than the calculation, Xu Yungong felt dizzy.

But he still understood a little bit about the solution of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. When the two people in the back asked each other and asked each other, Xu Yungong felt as if he was looking up at the mountain: he knew every word, but it happened. Combined together, he didn't even understand a single sentence!

He wanted to suspect that Zhu Su was writing indiscriminately, but Zhu Su seemed to be really trying to teach him. While writing, he was still chanting and explaining to him.Even if Xu Yungong couldn't understand it, he could still feel the meticulous logic in it!
"Understood?" Zhu Su breathed a sigh of relief after finally solving the three questions.It is really troublesome to write numbers in Chinese characters to form equations.Three simple questions actually covered more than half of the table. Zhu Su thought that he must generalize the Arabic numerals in the future.

"..." Xu Yungong's forehead was covered with sweat, looking at the handwriting written by Zhu Su with wine on the table.The mere half-table case actually completely solved these three problems, and it took three sheets of paper to solve the problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage... What kind of knowledge does this have?What kind of fairy method is it?
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Su who seemed to have done only a trivial thing. He couldn't hide the horror and admiration in his eyes. Then he quickly lowered his head and memorized Zhu Su's problem-solving process by rote while the wine was still dry. into your own head.
