Chapter 847 Su Dingfang’s sigh
Hussein, who was placed far behind, was anxious at the moment.
Not only was he worried about the safety of his nephew who had been captured by pirates, but the rumbling thunder-like sound in the distance and the black smoke that filled the sky made Hussein know that it was absolutely right for him to travel thousands of miles to Datang. Choice!
And the legend that Arab traders brought it back to Medina from the Western Regions has finally been confirmed!
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty's war against Gaochang, the Tang army used a new type of weapon. With this weapon, a group of heavy troops defeated the charges of Turkic wolf cavalry twice and won a complete victory!
The news reached Medina and immediately attracted the attention of the Hashemite family.
Regardless of the fact that the Muslim and Sri Lankan armies under the banner of Muhammad are advancing wildly across the Eurasian continent, conquering Baghdad and Damascus, and marching towards North Africa. In fact, the long front and increasingly stretched forces have made Hash The Mu family is overwhelmed, and once a certain decision is made incorrectly, it may immediately fall into an irreversible situation.
The emergence of this new type of weapon gave the Hashim family hope.
Heavy troops can use this weapon to defeat the brave and skilled Turkic wolf riders. If Arab warriors master this weapon, they will surely be able to sweep across Europe and Asia, making the light of Muhammad shine on all lands!
Hence, this trip to the Far East took place.
However, due to some chaos within the Hashemite family, his master, Muhammad's son-in-law Ali, was facing a crisis, so he took Ali's son Hussein away and had to abandon the land Silk Road and take the water route. , but I didn’t expect that the pirates in the Far East were so ferocious, beating his fleet to pieces, and even kidnapped little Hussein...
Now, this new type of weapon from the Tang Dynasty has finally appeared. Hussein is confident that he can obtain the manufacturing method of this weapon. For this purpose, any amount of treasures and sea maps can be traded!
The noble Marquis is a young nobleman. What do young people like?
Wealth, beauty, treasures, that's all.
Hussein's heart was beating rapidly, and he couldn't wait to go to the fighting area to see the power of this new weapon and how to use it. However, the two Tang warships in front and behind tightly controlled themselves. Apart from hearing the rumbling sound like the roar of Allah, they could not see the scene when the weapon exerted its power...
*****
The battle on the sea was coming to an end. Except for the remaining dozen or so intact pirate ships, which were still desperately trying to escape, the rest were all captured. In the face of the super speed of the new warships, these pirate ships are nothing more than grasshoppers in the autumn. They can only jump for a few times and will eventually be annihilated.
The captured pirates were closely guarded by navy soldiers, which inevitably caused large-scale riots. The seriously injured were transported to several ships and massacred. Fang Jun attaches great importance to these free labor, but he also understands that with the medical level of this era, it is impossible for these seriously injured people to survive. Rather than letting them die slowly in sorrow, despair and endless pain, it is better to Give them a good time.
This seems more humane...
Thousands of captured pirates were concentrated on a dozen dilapidated but still navigable pirate ships, and were escorted to the Nanshan Mine in Niuzhuji by more than two dozen heavily armed navy warships. The arrival of this batch of "new forces" will undoubtedly significantly increase the production capacity of Nanshan Mine.
It can also be regarded as waste utilization...
Su Dingfang began to raise his flag, gathered his troops, and headed directly to Fire Island.
This battle took place on the sea not far from the bay. The rumbling cannons, rising black smoke, and brutal fighting were almost all witnessed by the pirates on the island. However, these vicious pirates did not think about why their main force was wiped out in such a short period of time. Instead, they armed themselves one by one, drew their swords from their sheaths, and fought to the end!
Fang Jun stood on the bow of the flagship, watching the pirates on the shore organize their formation to resist the navy's landing, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Cannons have just been manufactured and have not yet become popular. Zhentianlei has just received the imperial decree from His Majesty Li Er and can be used. Except for these four, most of the new warships are still lying quietly in the dock. Even if this can defeat the "Green Skin Jiao" fleet at sea, is it necessary for the pirates on land to resist?
Su Dingfang depressedly ordered his subordinates to raise the flag - full landing!
Fang Jun asked curiously: "Why is General Su so frowning?"
When the battle reaches this point, it can almost be described as "invincible" and "invincible". It is a textbook naval battle to exchange the smallest price for the greatest result. However, looking at this man's face, it still seems very... dissatisfied?
Brother, I know you are a famous general, but even if you were the God of War, could you still fight this battle better?
Is it possible that you still want to blow the whistle and the pirates will all surrender and bow?
How did he know that Su Dingfang's thoughts were completely opposite to his...
Su Dingfang looked at the naval warships swarming towards the docks and shoals in the harbor, and said depressedly: "The general suddenly found...it seems that he is completely useless." He pointed to the groups of bodies on the decks of the leading ships. The armored "heavy infantry" said helplessly: "The artillery bombardment in the distance and the thunder raging nearby, coupled with these almost invulnerable heavy infantry, how can we What tactics do the generals still need to formulate? What is planned within the strategy and what is decisive from thousands of miles away are all a joke. When the new warships in the dock are launched into service, they will be fast enough to crush all the warships in the world. The enemy can't even run away! As long as the war starts, it will be a complete crushing, and the world will be invincible..."
Listening to Su Dingfang's complaints, Fang Jun laughed.
It turns out that this person feels lost...
It's no wonder that a coach who wants to show off his abilities suddenly finds that his team is so strong that it can crush all opponents without formulating any tactics. The feeling of "tying a dog to the crown" is indeed not that wonderful...
"There are no eternal secrets in this world, including our thunders, artillery and even new warships. Although we are invincible now, we can keep the secrets from being leaked for a long time in the future through strict control, but in the end One day the enemy will learn from it," Fang Jun said with a smile.
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone weapons with extremely low technical content such as artillery and gunpowder?
You don’t even need to steal the technology, you just need a flash of inspiration one day to understand the secrets and successfully imitate it. It is extremely unrealistic to rely on these low-level weapons to keep crushing the enemy.
"Technology is constantly improving. This cannot be blocked by anyone who wants to. What we need to do is actually very simple. Since we are already ahead of the entire world, let us continue to lead. Wait until the enemy learns the artillery casting technology , our artillery has evolved to the point where it can sink a warship with one shot. Shouldn't it be the same or crush it? There is never the most perfect tactic in the world. All you need to do is to use the existing weapons and equipment. , develop the most suitable tactics. Believe me, this is definitely not a simple matter. For example, in this naval battle, it seems that we have won a great victory, and the enemy has no resistance at all, but when we go back and count the results, the details If you study the tactics, you will find that there are many things that we can do better. Find the mistakes, correct them, and ensure that we will not make the same mistakes again when the next war comes! ”
Fang Jun followed the guidance and instilled in Su Dingfang the concept of war in the new era.
Weapons and equipment are advancing rapidly, and commanders' concepts must also follow suit. Hot weapons have already appeared on the stage of history, but if we still use the tactics of the cold weapon era, isn't it a waste of natural resources?
That is simply dragging down history and is inexcusable!
Su Dingfang was shocked and said thoughtfully: "So, the General Manager's school is to train soldiers and generals who can adapt to new weapons, and what kind of manufacturing bureau is a workshop that continuously develops and improves weapons?"
Fang Jun patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder happily: "A boy can be taught!" (End of Chapter)
