Soon another two days passed, and just like this, the two sides faced each other by the river for two days. No one moved.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the exercise is over. The remaining soldiers from Jizhou Town should have a good rest tonight and gather at the gate of Santun Camp with other soldiers tomorrow."
As Zhu Youjian's imperial edict was issued, the remaining Jizhou Town soldiers fell to the ground.
More than two days of concentrated local guards' sneak attacks had already reached the critical point of these people's spirits. If it weren't for the strong belief in their hearts that supported them, they might have fallen asleep on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled. Please inspect it." As soon as Zhu Youjian got up, soldiers came to report.
"Have they eaten?"
"Your Majesty, I have eaten."
"Did I tell you yesterday when the inspection would start?"
"Sishi (9-11 o'clock)"
"What time is it now?"
"Just arrived at Tatsuki (7-9 o'clock)"
"Does the army have nothing to do?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The generals below feel ashamed, so they have been standing with their soldiers since 5 o'clock (5 to 7 o'clock)."
"Send the order and let the soldiers rest for half an hour. I will set off from here in half an hour."
Zhu Youjian said.
for the performance of these soldiers. In fact, Zhu Youjian is quite satisfied.
After all, Zhu Youjian knew the strength of the Imperial Guards clearly. Being able to drink the Imperial Guards to such an extent that after the army collapsed, 500 people could persist for two full days. This not only moved the commander of the Imperial Guards, but also made Zhu Youjian happy.
Because Zhu Youjian knew that the occurrence of this situation proved that the army had formed a belief.
The people's army with faith is invincible and invincible. They are unsung heroes and the backbone of the country.
However, Zhu Youjian did not approve of the officer's actions.
After all, the main reason why they failed miserably in this exercise was because of the underestimation of the enemy above.
Otherwise, with 25,000 people, if we act steadily, it would be quite easy to capture 1,000 soldiers within a 30-kilometer radius.
However, because the generals underestimated the enemy, the army lost its cavalry from the beginning.
If everyone uses firearms for exercises, the loss of infantry will affect the combat effectiveness and communication between each other, but at the very least, the combat effectiveness of the infantry is no worse than that of the cavalry.
Even as the number of infantry soldiers increases, the strength of the infantry will become stronger.
A musketeer versus a cavalryman, the outcome is 37 points.
10 musketeers versus 10 cavalry, the outcome is 46 points.
100 musketeers versus 100 cavalry, the outcome is 50-50.
1,000 musketeers versus 1,000 cavalry, the outcome is 91 points.
If 10,000 musketeers fight 10,000 cavalry, the infantry will basically win. To put it bluntly, as long as the training is in place, Ming's current weapons and equipment, 1,000 musketeers, can completely withstand the attack of 10,000 cavalry.
But in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the elite. It’s their respective trump cards.
Because the light cavalry in the cold weapon era was just like the air force in later generations.
Your light cavalry has an absolute advantage, so in the face of powerful mobility, you can quickly change the power ratio in a certain direction. Defeat the opponent with point arrancar.
The heavy cavalry is like the tanks of later generations.
It can be said bluntly that in a fight between an army with tanks and an army without tanks, the advantage that the army with tanks has is really too great.
