"It's hard to say, it depends on the situation. When you look at the first fire, how many people will end up personally, hiding behind doesn't count!"
The children of the aristocratic family are not born to be rich suddenly. Even if the older generation only favors one of the younger generations, not to mention that the older generation has someone on their head and a group of brothers around them. Under the limited resources, the dandy children can only enjoy themselves. After twenty or thirty years, people will be useless after this stage.
As the backbone of the Xungui Group, the Li family guards Guangchang and always bears the pressure of defense brought by the Jurchens. Pampering is not love, but indulgence and destruction. The more pampered the children, the more they will learn from childhood.
Judging from the current distribution, the Li brothers have not been able to enter the border post as they wished. Although they are not on the list of the group that the family focuses on training, if they can come to Tai'an City and enter the third camp, their status within the family will not be low.
"Our teacher Zeng Jin said that wars between great powers often involve time and resources. They start with a short period of hand-to-hand combat, and then enter a state of confrontation. Obviously they are looking for loopholes in the other side, but secretly they are hindered by logistics!"
After a brief hesitation, Li Yannian quickly picked out a comparison, "For example, our dynasty used infantry because of heavy cavalry. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that regular soldiers often ride two horses, while elite regiments can even ride three horses. By carrying the baggage with you, you can get rid of logistics in a short period of time. In addition, with the strategy of eating and traveling to other places, a thousand-man battalion can go into battle, and the expedition can last for a month or two within an area of three to four hundred miles around the battlefield!"
"The disadvantage is that within a month or two after being out, the intelligence is not smooth. The achievements of the Thousand-Man Battalion and their own injuries all depend on the general's own ability. The requirements are too high and it is difficult for ordinary people to control them, but the veteran's body And they often can't hold it back. In every battle, one or two thousand-man cavalry battalions are basically ambushed, and the losses are huge!"
"Similarly, after returning to the camp, even if the logistics are replenished, the troops and horses will still need to be adjusted for about a month. The next time the logistics are replenished, it may be two or three months before we can be dispatched!"
Fang Fang nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.
War is all about logistics. If you can't win with one blow, you will be dragged into the logistics pit no matter what. At that time, you will have to fight for national power and waste financial resources. No one will be able to win first, and you must either look for opportunities for a decisive battle or give up the war. But in terms of people's hearts, most of them will have to fight in the end.
"This situation is not just for us, but also for the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Song Dynasty had money, but it could be consumed even more. We relied on horse power and brains to fight the war. The war promoted by the Song Dynasty was purely based on money. The ace of the Song Dynasty was the archer camp, which was divided into heavy crossbow camp, light crossbow camp and rapid-fire camp. Using the Hunan soldiers as human shields, the rapid-fire battalion moved first before the war began. The sky was full of arrows. A wave started with six consecutive shots, and 30,000 to 40,000 arrows flew out. Then the heavy crossbows fired flatly, and the light crossbows waited for the opportunity. It was a big battle. Shooting it down will consume at least four to five million arrows!"
Li Yannian smacked his lips in disdain, but the Song people were really cruel, "If you win, you can take back a little bit, but if you go out with ten arrows, you can only take back one or two, and you can still maintain it. If you lose, you can take back only one or two arrows." Just throw tens of thousands of taels of silver into the water!"
"Key people still dare to attack. According to statistics, more than a hundred years ago, the Song people wanted to seize the land of the canal in Zaozhuang and Tai'an, cut off the Grand Canal from it, and control the upper and lower parts of the canal. They successively established four big 300,000 yuan The Corps, in the decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, fired more than six million arrows in one battle!"
When Li Yanting said this, he looked strange, with envy in his eyes and melancholy on his face.
An arrow that can shoot three hundred steps quickly costs more than one hundred coins, a light crossbow arrow costs one hundred and fifty coins, and a heavy crossbow arrow costs more than three hundred coins.
Even though the technology of the Song Dynasty was advanced and its manufacturing capabilities were terrifying, was the wood for the arrow body free of charge, or was the iron for the arrowhead free?
More than six million pieces of silver were lost.
There is nothing wrong with having this money. It can be used to hit people. The key is that the party being hit has nothing to do about it.
Touching his chin, Fang Fang didn't want to say anything. This kind of money-spending practice by rich people would give anyone a headache. "People in the Song Dynasty used it for shooting, but the Ming Dynasty used it for gunpowder?"
Hearing this, Li Yannian shook his head like a pug, "The Ming Dynasty's magic machine is powerful, but it has many limitations. The first is the distance. The shooting range of his magic machine cannot be compared to the Song Dynasty's light crossbow, and the rapid fire rate is not as fast as the Song Dynasty's rapid fire camp. The damage Come on, I only need to support a heavy horse in front. When the light horse is testing the attack, I will add a round shield and put a scale armor on the front of the horse. If it can withstand two rounds, it can cut in!"
Snapped!
Li Yanting slapped his hands, "If the Ming army only relied on magical machines to fight, fighting against the Ming Dynasty would be like being afraid of mosquitoes. My hands would feel a little painful, but once the opportunity is seized, the mosquitoes will definitely die!"
"The Ming Dynasty is a multi-arms combination routine, and it is also the most popular plan in Kyushu. However, the Ming army is well equipped. But the better the equipment, the greater the logistical pressure. In addition, the routines for multi-arms combinations have their counterparts in history. example, so compared to routines, the Ming Dynasty was more of a steady approach. If the Song Dynasty was a hedgehog, then the Ming Dynasty was a Xuanwu push. You can't smash the turtle shell in one go, so you will be beaten by the turtle shell. Run over, and at the same time avoid a positional battle with Ming Dynasty!"
Understand, after listening to these general explanations, the equation is completely understood. The war preparations and military models of the Three Kingdoms have all reached the peak of cold weapon war, but in different directions. The corresponding solutions are either solved now or dug from the long river of history. Once it comes out, no one can do anything to anyone.
It has turned to a long-term confrontation. If the military cannot win, then it will be a competition for financial resources to see who can make the first mistake.
No wonder the people of the Song Dynasty had so much patience and used economic means to organize the Wu Dynasty. They would rather spend their time playing dirty tricks than engage in a fierce battle with you with open guns and famous swords.
"Theoretically, a quick war cannot be won, but in reality there are always opportunities. Just like these Lianghuai riots, don't we all have opportunities?"
Using Liang Huai to explode the Kyushu pattern is not considered a clever move. After all, what are the drawbacks? How much pressure Ming Dynasty is now under, and then the force of the withdrawal must be doubled, doubled, and doubled again. This slap is a slap in the face. After that, the sparks are not going to splash anywhere.
"The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will end. We must follow them. If the three parties start fighting, Xuzhou will definitely be beaten into a pot of porridge. We have the Jurchens behind us. The Ming Dynasty has the Chu State by its side. The Liao Kingdom has always wanted to expand its power to the Guanzhong area. All parties have My own purpose, sir, ask me how long the war will last. It will start in three years and be limited to ten years!" Li Yannian said with a bitter smile.
