Daming Military Empire

Chapter 279

The idea of ​​mobilizing millions of troops to go to the grasslands to fight against Jiannu really makes people excited, but this is almost all the regular army regiments of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any accident, then Daming will be really dangerous. They are all thinking hard about how to reduce the number of troops to achieve the same effect.

Zhu Cijiong knew that in such an important meeting, no one dared to speak without thinking, so he did not urge everyone, but carefully observed their expressions, and once he found someone with an idea, he would immediately encourage them and let them speak.

Zhu Cijiong glanced around for a few times. None of the objects he focused on had any intention of speaking, and they were all still frowning and thinking hard. However, Sun Yuanhua, Minister of the Ministry of War, showed an expression of eagerness, er, how should I put it, the reason why Sun Yuanhua could He only participated in the meeting because he was the minister of the Ministry of War. In terms of combat experience, he is definitely not as good as any of the generals present. Zhu Cijiong thought it was a bit unbelievable that this guy could be the first to come up with a solution. I have to pull it out for a walk, but he still encouraged him: "Chuyang, do you have any suggestions? Let me say boldly, I recruited you here to discuss."

Sun Yuanhua was taken aback when he heard the words, but then he couldn't help offering a treasure and said: "Your Majesty, I thought of the earth-turning dragon, and I was thinking, if the sharp blade on the back of the earth-turning dragon is removed, and the steam power chamber on the top is removed." Make it a bit thicker, and then open a row of shooting holes on each side, and open a larger lookout hole above each shooting hole, and seal it with thicker glass. There should be no way for the cavalry of Jiannu to do such a thing. The official thought that only one thousand of such earth-turning dragons would be needed, and the [-] troops from Jiannu would only be beaten. If tens of thousands of them could be produced, Jiannu would be easily wiped out."

Zhu Cijiong fainted when he heard the words. Isn’t this a simple armored vehicle? I know about tanks, but the speed of this thing is a joke against cavalry. Of course, people’s enthusiasm cannot be discouraged, otherwise no one will dare to speak , so he nodded affirmatively and said: "Well, your idea is very good. In fact, you can also consider installing a ship-mounted sub-mother-type howitzer on the earth-moving dragon, so that the power will be even greater. However, this thing is on flat ground. The fastest speed is equivalent to the walking speed of an adult. Jiannu are all cavalry. They can't beat you. It must be done, it will be the best to use it for siege in the future, and it will save the time of making siege equipment."

Install the ship-mounted sub-mother howitzer!When Sun Yuanhua heard the words, his eyes immediately showed strange light. Good thing, the lethality is huge, and the defense is even greater. If such a thing is made, whether it is siege or confrontation, the enemy will have to watch and cry, because he has already fought with Song Yingxing. After someone has tested it, no weapon can break a one-inch-thick steel plate!

The more Sun Yuanhua thought about it, the more excited he became, and soon he couldn't extricate himself from it. If it wasn't for an important meeting, he would probably run to experiment immediately.

When Zhu Cijiong saw this guy's expression, he knew that this guy couldn't count on him. Once a researcher has a topic of interest, he will follow like a demon. Of course, he didn't expect Sun Yuanhua to come up with any good suggestions from the beginning. , let this guy think about the tank issue, and he continued to scan the sitting generals.

Soon, another unexpected person showed an eager expression. This person turned out to be Cao Wenzhao. In Zhu Cijiong's mind, this guy was a strong general. He didn't expect this guy to come up with any good opinions, but, Can't look at people with colored glasses, maybe this guy has some good ideas, so he also encouraged: "If Wen Zhao has any suggestions, just say it, everyone is the same, if you think of it, say it, feel free to say it boldly , I will not blame you."

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The final general wants to imitate the champion Hou Huo Qubing. Although the final general dare not claim to be the champion of the three armies, it is still easy to deal with dozens or hundreds of Jiannu. If the emperor can Choose [-] fine cavalry for Weichen, and then equip each of them with a revolving rifle and a horse-chopping knife. Weichen and Bianjiao can lead the [-] fine cavalry to defeat the slave cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three major grasslands. Can't find North."

Before Zhu Cijiong could speak hastily, Qin Liangyu on the side said: "General Cao is right, if the emperor can really select one hundred thousand elite cavalry, the last general and Gong Ming can also lead the one hundred thousand elite cavalry to fight. The Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three major grasslands could not find their way to the north.”

Lu Xiangsheng also said enthusiastically: "It makes sense, it makes sense. I alone can lead these [-] elite cavalry and fight the slave cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the three major grasslands.

These people are so simple. They are obsessed with personal bravery in the era of weapons. It is difficult to defeat Huang Taiji. The same 50 troops can defeat him. The main problem is that Zhu Cijiong does not want to defeat him. , but want to destroy him and occupy Monan in one fell swoop!

Of course, their enthusiasm cannot be dampened either, so Zhu Cijiong had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Well, what Wen Zhao said is good, bringing together soldiers with high martial arts skills can indeed change the situation of the battle, but this time, I didn't want to To defeat Jiannu, I want to annihilate Jiannu and occupy Monan Mongolia, so it’s okay to choose one hundred thousand elite cavalry. But after you go back, you can select all the soldiers with high martial arts skills in your respective armies and set up a special Squads, when it is inconvenient to shoot, or the complex terrain is not suitable for large corps operations, this special squad can often work wonders.”

Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu, and Lu Xiangsheng all nodded thoughtfully when they heard the words, and then went to think about the selection of special forces, and the whole hall fell silent again for a while.

Zhu Cijiong's helplessness is really "intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade." ", this is discussing how to deal with Huang Taiji, but there is no progress in the business, but the two combat weapons of tanks and special forces are accidentally brought out.

Zhu Cijiong would be very interested in discussing tanks and special forces with them when he was free, but at the moment he is really not interested. The speed of the steam locomotive is ridiculously slow now, and it is impossible to use it to deal with cavalry. Don't think about it; special forces operations can only achieve unexpected results in local wars. Facing such a battle with hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, it is actually not very useful.

What he valued the most was Sun Chengzong, the Duke of Zhenguo, because Sun Chengzong was the one who made suggestions during his first imperial conquest, and Sun Chengzong could always come up with brilliant strategies in the face of the cunning Huang Taiji. It can be said that he is Huang Taiji's nemesis. This time, he hoped that Sun Chengzong could come up with a way to overcome Huang Taiji.
