Chapter 1593 Strategy
Lei Tong was a little surprised when asked by the Prime Minister.
But after thinking about it, he turned his eyes, then stared at the prime minister and said his thoughts: "Five thousand musketeers, behind the formation, hold the line!"
This is Lei Tong's decision.
But this decision made Huang Cheng, who originally had a bit of goodwill towards Lei Tong, change his expression instantly.
"General Lei, what do you mean!?"
"Let's put the musketeers at the back. Who are they going to shoot? Are they going to use them as decoration or shoot their own people?!"
At this time, Huang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore. He knew that if he didn't speak up, this decisive battle would really be a joke.
There are really not many people here who know how to deploy troops. If they continue to act recklessly like this, this sure-win situation may be destroyed.
He thought of many possibilities, but never expected Lei Tong to give such a suggestion.
Others have never been to the battlefield, so perhaps they can accept any suggestions from the other side, but Lei Tong is different. He has been with Zhou Zheng for several years, fought in countless battles of all sizes, and is a true brave general who has been through thick and thin!
He couldn't make such a low-level mistake.
In Lei Tong's opinion, there was only one possibility for making such a suggestion at this time, and that was that he did it on purpose.
It is simply despicable!
As expected, Huang Cheng's questioning instantly made everyone focus their attention on Lei Tong again. Could it be that everything was really as Huang Cheng thought, a trap, a problem, or intentional?
"General Lei, please explain."
No matter how stupid the prime minister was, he could hear the hidden meaning in Huang Cheng's words.
Although he liked Lei Tong very much, he did not dare to underestimate him in such a big matter. He stared at Lei Tong and asked him to give a reasonable explanation.
"Could it be that General Huang wants to place the musketeers ahead of the main army!?"
"That's the real joke."
Lei Tong was not surprised by Huang Cheng's idea, but instead a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
That kind of disdain and contempt, which was not concealed at all, made everyone present feel the contempt in the eyes.
It seemed that in Lei Tong's eyes, Huang Cheng was just a rookie who knew nothing.
Huang Cheng was furious seeing himself being humiliated like this.
As one of the few famous generals in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he prides himself on being well-versed in the art of war, and his past battle records are also quite good.
He had never suffered such humiliation before. Even if Zhou Zheng was standing in front of him, he would not dare to speak in such a loud voice.
For a moment, Huang Cheng's face turned red.
But he suppressed the anger in his heart, but as he stared at Lei Tong coldly, there was already a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
If the situation was not different now, and the Prime Minister favored Lei Tong, given his temper, he would have gone berserk and killed Lei Tong. After all, others might think Lei Tong was good, but in Huang Cheng's eyes, Lei Tong was just a surrendered general, and he was captured alive by his own hands!
What qualifications does such a person have to discuss military strategy with me here?
"Zhou Zheng is in a city with high walls and deep walls, so muskets are useless."
“Once the decisive battle began and both sides charged forward, the limitations of the musketeers became apparent.”
Lei Tong didn't waste any time, he went straight to the point and got to the point.
Just two short sentences instantly rendered Huang Cheng speechless, because this was the fact, and it was the biggest fact.
Musketeers should attack in open and flat areas and strike first.
But musketeers are not really suitable for charging into the enemy lines.
Moreover, these 5,000 musketeers were temporarily trained along the way, and their accuracy, combat effectiveness, and coordination and cooperation were indeed far inferior to those of real musketeers.
Once the two armies intersect and charge at short range, these musketeers will not only be ineffective, but will even become an obstacle to the imperial court's 300,000 troops.
The prime minister and the soldiers couldn't help but nodded at this time.
They know better than anyone that, although this is blunt, it is quite correct.
After all, a true musketeer has to undergo a long period of training to achieve the level of mastering the sword and gun. At that time, he may be most useful if he is placed at the front.
"Secondly, these musketeers can cover the rear and paralyze Zhou Zheng, making him think that the imperial court has no muskets."
"In this case, I think it would be very good for the Prime Minister."
When he said this, Lei Tong turned and looked at the prime minister.
Others may not understand what he said, but he, the prime minister, knows the deep meaning behind it very well.
In order to win this decisive battle, they made great efforts and even hid many means within the city.
Especially some of the measures that the aristocratic families had arranged ten years in advance.
It should be shown at the critical moment.
As long as Zhou Zheng is careless enough, everything will go smoothly, and even catch Zhou Zheng off guard, and be extremely careless! Give him a fatal blow.
Of course, the Prime Minister will not tell you about these methods now.
He must turn this into his own credit at the critical moment to demonstrate his level and ability.
But Lei Tong's words made the prime minister suddenly realize.
Their 300,000-strong army needed to capture the city in one fell swoop and completely destroy Zhou Zheng, not to tremble or to tie down the two armies.
The only way they can achieve their goal is to let Zhou Zheng take the initiative to attack, or leave the city gates wide open and force their way in.
Otherwise, if Zhou Zheng held on to the city for ten days or half a month, even if he won, it would definitely not be the situation the prime minister wanted.
For a moment, the Prime Minister's recognition of Lei Tong increased again.
"Third, using musketeers to supervise the army will make our elite troops dare not to retreat."
At the third point, a strange smile appeared on Lei Tong's lips.
The thing a large army fears most is someone deserting the battlefield.
But on the battlefield, 300,000 troops are such a huge group. If you want to stabilize these people, ordinary methods will naturally not work.
The best way is to be the Musketeer Warlord!
These musketeers may not be very strong in combat and may be afraid on the battlefield, but they are a perfect way to supervise the army.
They may not be able to kill the enemy, but killing their own people is absolutely no problem.
As long as anyone dares to retreat during the battle, they can be shot without reporting.
This would be enough to prevent the army from retreating.
No matter how difficult the decisive battle with Zhou Zheng is, they can only choose to move forward!
Hearing this, everyone gave Lei Tong a thumbs up again.
This is simply a great way.
In this way, the army can be energized and all the soldiers can rush forward regardless of everything!
Even Huang Cheng, who had just been quite unkind to Lei Tong, had to admit at this moment that Lei Tong's method was indeed simple, crude and easy to use.
Besides this, the prime minister understood one more thing: these five thousand musketeers, in this way, were actually doing him five thousand favors.
After all, the Musketeer rightfully became the safest position and held great power.
Once the war is over, you can also enjoy military merits!
I wonder how many people would be jealous of this position.
And who will become the musketeer, who can command the musketeers, is not in your own hands! ?
Before the war, he was able to recruit a group of people he liked. In the eyes of the prime minister, Lei Tong was simply his lucky star.
"General Lei, you are indeed a man of foresight."
Even Huang Cheng smiled bitterly at this moment, and then bowed slightly to Lei Tong.
I have to say that what Lei Tong said makes sense.
Seeing Huang Cheng like this, Lei Tong became magnanimous and quickly responded that it was all for victory.
Little did he know that Lei Tong was already beaming with joy at this moment.
He thought that these 300,000 elite troops would definitely be a big trouble.
But now it seems that I really overestimated these people, even Zhou Zheng completely overestimated them.
If we had known the whole situation, perhaps the decisive battle would not have been delayed until now.
However, Lei Tong also knew that as long as there were no unexpected events in the future, his mission would be accomplished.
He no longer cared about life or death.
Three hundred thousand troops!
If they were all destroyed at the hands of Zhou Zheng, I'm afraid this battle would be earth-shattering once again.
From now on, who else in the land of Great Zhou dares to fight Zhou Zheng! ?
Even the five great ancient families would not dare to challenge him lightly.
