Chapter 2882: Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of riding on foot
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped: "Being alone? Jinu, what do you mean?"
Liu Yu turned around and walked back to the commander's position, sat down, looked at Liu Muzhi, who was also sitting in the position of Chang Shi on the left, and said: "As the coach of the Beifu Army, I can no longer manage every aspect of the army.
, each building can only mobilize troops by commanding each military leader. In the same way, as the person who holds the most power in the world, as the actual ruler of the Jin Dynasty, it is impossible for me to control every state and every county. I have to crack the soil.
Divide the territory and set up a guard, Uncle Fang, fat man, you can understand what I mean."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "Are you saying that the new territories won by the Northern Expedition, starting from Qingzhou in Nanyan, will be distributed to the generals under his command or to the senior brothers of the Eighth Party of Beijing? Qingzhou
Are you planning to make Yang Muzhi the governor and Ah Shou to lead the troops to guard Yongzhou in Guanzhong? Do you also want Wang Zhene to come like this to Yongzhou in Guanzhong?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, appointing people who are popular in the local area and can be accepted by the elders will greatly reduce the difficulty of governance. I have been to Guanzhong and Chang'an. To be honest, the local people have already
They no longer regard themselves as subjects of the Jin Dynasty. Even in the city of Chang'an more than ten years ago, Hu people already accounted for more than half. Now that the Later Qin has ruled for so many years, I am afraid that the Han people will further reduce, and the Qiang and Di people will
Hu will further increase, if we continue to use the old Beifu brothers to guard Guanzhong, I am afraid it will cause a strong backlash in the local area."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "You are right, Hu style has been prevalent in Guanzhong for a long time, and Han and Hu people have mixed together. Most of the Han people left behind have adopted many Hu customs. Even without these Hu customs, the people in the north would not be able to live in the same way.
The customs and daily production and labor are very different from those in the south. Just like you have been unable to eat the steamed buns and flour cakes in the north for so many years. Instead, our soldiers from the north went to Guanzhong to make them unable to eat rice porridge, fish and shrimp for a long time.
, having to eat mutton steamed buns every day will probably be more uncomfortable than killing them!"
Liu Yu laughed: "I see that you are chewing mutton skewers and eating roasted lamb legs every day, so you can't throw them away without being slapped in the mouth."
Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't that why I forced myself to eat beef and mutton in order to practice and adapt to life in the north? You should know that if I had a choice, I would still prefer to eat chicken legs, uh, if
There is roast goose with honey sauce, it is really good..."
Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi's eyes shone with a strange light, his Adam's apple moved, and it seemed that his saliva would flow out at any time.
Liu Yu said quickly: "Okay, okay, Fatty, let's not discuss delicious food for now and continue talking about business. After I leave, you have the final say on what you want to eat."
Liu Muzhi said angrily: "Bah, after you leave, the burden of the whole army will be on me. How can I still have time to eat? You have to give me more money. Well, let's not talk about this for now.
Do you intend to let Wang Zhenxie guard Guanzhong after that? Do you want him to recruit troops and horses locally in Guanzhong, use the old Qin men from Guanzhong in the north, and the horses from Longyou in Hexi to form a large-scale cavalry force, and then compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty for dominance in the desert?
"
Liu Yu nodded: "That's right. In fact, you have seen this time. With our invincible infantry of the Beifu Army, it is still very difficult to deal with the enemy's cavalry on the flat ground. We have to rely on carts and military tactics.
Only in this battle can we defend it. We must save the enemy in this battle, so we force the enemy to fight us here. However, it is difficult to win such a victory again, especially against the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "Why, are the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty more powerful than the armored cavalry of the Murong family who have dominated the world for nearly a hundred years?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Fat man, you don't understand the art of war very well. I won't go into details. I will just briefly say a few words. Everything in this world has advantages and disadvantages, and they are mutually reinforcing. In the Central Plains of the North, there are thousands of miles of plains, and the cavalry
Come and go like the wind, without restriction. In the water network of the south of the Yangtze River, there are crisscrossed rivers, soft soil, and many rice fields. When the northern cavalry arrives in the south, their horses are often stuck in the mire and water network and cannot use it. This is why we can always
The reason for blocking the northern barbarian cavalry in the Jianghuai area. But on the other hand, once the southern infantry reaches the north and the Central Plains and confronts the cavalry on the plains, they will suffer a great loss, because flesh and blood cannot withstand the back-and-forth conflict of the war horses, and even two
The legs cannot run as fast as four legs, and their maneuverability is much weaker than that of the cavalry. Even the Beifu Army cannot reverse this natural disadvantage."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "In this comparison of infantry and cavalry, it is self-evident who is better and who is inferior. The cavalry is originally superior in mobility, but the infantry formation is solid, with crossbows near and far, and fighting in formation.
There is always an advantage. The cavalry cannot attack the front of the infantry. But since the Murong family's armored cavalry, things have changed. They can forcefully attack the front of the infantry, destroy everything, and level everything. For decades, no one has been able to break it.
This time you were able to forcibly defeat the Murong family's cavalry assault with the help of the eight-stone running bull crossbow. This is the first time in many years."
Liu Yu nodded: "But this just caught them off guard after all. The Murong family has never seen the Eight-Stone Ox Crossbow. Only our Beifu sergeants dared to launch the Eight-Ou Crossbow against the running cavalry. Instead of ordinary troops,
Seeing such an overwhelming attack from the opposite side, they had already collapsed. So under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for the infantry to withstand the enemy's armored cavalry attack in the wild, not to mention that in this battle we still use large vehicles to protect us.
On both wings, we deliberately lured the enemy's 20,000 armored cavalry to break in from the rear. Otherwise, if the 30,000 armored cavalry charged from one direction, even if we were blocked, we would suffer heavy casualties and even the front army would collapse."
Liu Muzhi raised his eyebrows: "But we still won the battle after all. This shows that our infantry of the Beifu Army still has the strength to defeat the enemy's armored cavalry head-on. What's more, this is the strongest armored cavalry of the Murong family in the world. The Northern Wei Dynasty
But he doesn’t have the strength and the will to charge with an eight-oxen crossbow.”
Liu Yu sighed: "Speaking of the Wei army, it's another question. Their armored cavalry is currently not as good as that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but why did Murong Bao and other large armies, with tens of thousands of armored cavalry, also lose to the Wei army? Shenhebei The battle proved one thing, that is, for the army, mobility is worse than the usual combat effectiveness. No matter how strong the soldier is, it is impossible for him to stay awake. The best way to destroy the enemy is to attack him unprepared and make him unable to wear armor. If you can't mount a horse or form a formation, then it will be a one-sided massacre, which is no different from killing ordinary people."
Liu Muzhi's eyes lit up: "I understand, the Wei army is good at maneuvering and can attack thousands of miles. If it cannot be defeated, it will leave. Therefore, it is a more difficult opponent for us to deal with?!"
