Chapter 71: Unexpected

"General Qian, come quickly, come quickly, sit and sit." Guo Kan enthusiastically invited Qian Rentong to sit down and said to his personal soldiers: "Hurry, give General Qian tea and some good tea."

It seems that Guo Kan doesn't care about the fact that nothing happened. He is in a good mood. If it were someone else, he would have written his discomfort on his face, and he is indeed worthy of being a god. Qian Rentong's originally uneasy heart suddenly fell to the ground and said, "I don't dare to be the commander so kind, please don't worry."

Guo Kan moved a stool, took Qian Rentong's hand, asked him to sit down, and said, "Look at where General Qian said you, you are a role model of our Han army. If you weren't in charge of Dongying, Dongying wouldn't be as stable as a rock."

Qian Rentong was the commander of the Mongolian Dongying. He was also a Han man. Because he was brave in fighting in previous battles, he grew from a soldier to a general who commanded 100,000 people step by step. It was really not easy in the era when the Mongolians were in power.

"I thought the matter was revealed, but it turned out that I was worried for nothing." Qian Rentong put down the stone in his heart and said hurriedly: "The Grand Marshal has been too rewarded, and I am ashamed. If it weren't for the Grand Marshal's support, I wouldn't have today."

Guo Kan took the teacup from his personal soldiers and handed it to Qian Rentong, saying, "General Qian is really humble. He is the general who I, Guo, have ever seen the most humble. This is the new tea in Longjing, West Lake, you can try it." Guo Kan looked at Qian Rentong intentionally or unintentionally and praised it.

Longjing tea is produced in West Lake and is a famous tea in the world. Unexpectedly, Guo Kan actually treated him with this. In theory, Qian Rentong should be very happy and felt flattered. However, the facts and theories are always too far apart. After hearing Guo Kan's words, the tea cup that he had received shook and almost fell to the ground. Even if the tea was poured in such a way, he said in a trembling voice: "Master..." He immediately realized that he was out of control, so he was very calm and said: "I really don't be a Master so kind."

Although he was calm, the cold sweat oozing from his forehead had betrayed him.

Guo Kan looked at his forehead with bright eyes and said, "What's wrong with General Qian? He was sweating before it was hot? Is it too hot here? Come on, open the window and get some cool air."

After the personal soldiers received the order, they hurriedly opened the window and retreated.

If words could scare people, Qian Rentong, who heard Guo Kan's words, felt as if he was dead, and was standing straight, like a clay sculpture, without moving. If he hadn't had his chest drifted sharply due to extreme fear, he would have regarded him as a statue.

A crisp sound came out, which was the sound of the teacup in Qian Rentong's hand falling to the ground. The teacup was smashed to pieces, and the tea splashed everywhere, wetting a big stall.

Guo Kan looked at Qian Rentong for a moment, his eyes were neither sharp nor cruel, no different from usual, extremely gentle. However, when Qian Rentong saw it, it felt that Guo Kan's eyes were more powerful than sharp swords. It was a pair of divine eyes, as if he could see through everything, and even the deepest secrets in his heart would be seen through.

The warm air just now disappeared, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, as if the air had condensed. Guo Kan and Qian Rentong looked at each other without saying anything or moving. Guo Kan's eyes were still gentle, while Qian Rentong's eyes were surprised, shocked, surprised, helpless, fearful, and all kinds of complex gazes could be found in his eyes.

Time passes silently.

Guo Kan has the name of a god. As long as he stands there, he will be Mount Tai, which is unshakable. Although he didn't speak, he brought Qian Rentong a heavier pressure than Mount Tai. Not long after, Qian Rentong knelt on the ground for Guo Kan and kowtowed, "Master, I've taken it, I've taken it all." The power was used too much, and the forehead was bleeding, lying at Guo Kan's feet, motionless, like a dead dog.

"Summary of the first phase of our battle is only three words, that is: Very good!" Li Jun looked at the generals and summed up the first phase of the battle loudly, saying, "Overall, I am still satisfied with this operation. We were able to achieve a major result of annihilation of 100,000 enemies with small casualties. I summarized it. There are mainly the following reasons:

"First, we have a large number of artillery, which fully utilized the advantages of long range, strong explosion power and great power. Before launching the attack, we adopted the firepower preparation for saturated fire bombing. After an hour of firepower preparation, the Mongolian Southern Camp has become a scorched earth, with casualties and serious damage to military facilities. Preliminary statistics show that about 6,000 casualties were killed or killed in the firepower preparation. In terms of numbers alone, it may not be of great significance, because we have wiped out a total of 100,000 enemies in the Southern Camp, but in terms of tactical theory, we have achieved considerable achievements. This is the first time we have used artillery on a large scale. Without experience and without precedents, it is indeed not easy to achieve such a battle."

A warm applause broke Li Jun's summary. After winning the battle, the generals were very happy, but they didn't expect that Li Jun would praise him so much, and they were even more happy, so happy that their mouths could not be closed. Gundam stroked his white beard and opened his mouth and just laughed with joy, as if this was the happiest thing he had ever smiled in his life.

"If Guo Kan hadn't known that we would have adopted this kind of offensive method, gathering the army together and invisibly fulfilled us. If a shell was shot, it would have been a big area, it would have been good to be able to kill two or three thousand people." Li Jun looked at the excitement of the generals and found it a little funny.

During the Second Gulf War, the United States killed more than 5,000 Lao Sa's army on a large scale in one day. What a firepower preparation, these ancient people didn't know about this, and they thought they had achieved amazing achievements.

The effect of firepower preparation was so good. In fact, Guo Kan helped a lot. He noticed that the Song army was about to launch an attack. He thought that the Song army would line up first as before, and wait for the two armies to fight before fighting, gather the army together and prepare to enter the battle at any time. Unexpectedly, the Song army launched the attack in this way. In the first round, many shells hit places with crowded people, and many casualties were killed by one shell. According to the subsequent investigation, the casualties of firepower preparation mainly came from the first round of bombing, and nearly two thousand people were killed in the first round. After the first round, Mongolian soldiers fled and rushed, and the effect of artillery was reduced.

Guo Kan's keen insight brought him disaster instead, and the ability of gods and humans was not that scary!

Li Jun pressed down with both hands, signaling the generals to stop, and then said, "The second is to command properly. General Liao Shenggong commanded decisively, grasped the fighter jets just right, and did not waste any fighter jets. Everyone should give the applause to General Liao." He took the lead in applause.

Liao Shenggong stood up in the applause and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you everyone. In fact, the one who deserves the most applause is the emperor, not me. If the emperor had not let go, I would not dare to command like this." After a pause, he said: "The cicada is sad, and the rain is about to the Changting Pavilion at night, and the sudden rain has just stopped..."

Li Jun chanted this song "Yu Lin Ling" after leaving the command center. Liao Shenggong started to recite it here because he was thanking Li Jun for taking the initiative to relieve pressure and delegate power to him. Zhang Shijie and the others did not know about this, and they also thought that Liao Shenggong was happy for a moment and was very excited about poetry, so they actually recited poetry. Only Li Tingzhi knew with his keen insight that there must be a story in it.

Li Jun naturally understood what he meant, waved his hand and let him sit down, and said, "Why have you read the lyrics? Third, the coordination and coordination of each department are still unsatisfactory. He is brave in his movements, dares to fight and fight, seizes the opportunity to maximize his fear, and makes the Mongolian soldiers feel scared from the bottom of their hearts and has a deterrent effect.

"Fourth, the successful decapitation operation led by the special forces disrupted the enemy's command system, preventing the Mongolian troops from getting orders and being unable to coordinate, becoming multiple carriages and fighting on their own, which created good conditions for us to encircle and annihilate."

Li Jun's words interrupted another warm applause. The special forces did not fear difficulties and dared to go deep into the tiger's den to behead him, creating a miracle again. This kind of praise is naturally well deserved.

As everyone was watching, Xu Guanghan had to stand up and salute to express his gratitude.

The battle was very beautiful, and the cooperation of infantry, cavalry and artillery was quite good. It really exerted the military power of the Southern Song Dynasty, making people proud. All the generals were very happy. To praise Li Jun like this would be like adding icing on the cake. Everyone was filled with joy. If it weren't for the battle summary meeting and Li Jun was also present, they would probably sing loudly.

"But, don't think we are perfect, don't think we have no shortcomings, don't think we are invincible, don't think we are the first." Li Jun changed his words and began to summarize the shortcomings of the Song army, saying: "We must carefully summarize the gains and losses of this battle so that we can improve ourselves faster and build the army of the Song Dynasty into a truly iron army!

"I think we still need to improve in the following aspects: First, the coordination between infantry and cavalry and artillery still needs to be improved. There are problems in communication and target indications. If the artillery cannot obtain the accurate position, it will cause accidental bombing, and the consequences will be quite serious."

Regarding this point, not to mention that in the Song Dynasty, an era that was several hundred years behind, even in modern wars, mishaps caused by unclear goals were often emerged one after another. In the United States, which claimed to be accused of being a US, there were many examples of mishaps in the Gulf War. There have been constant incidents of mishaps in the wars held by the US in previous wars. I wonder if the US has summarized it as seriously as Li Jun?

After cutting off the contact between the Nanying and Guo Kan's central army camp, Guo Kan used heavy troops to launch an attack, trying to open a channel, the Song army fought stubbornly, and eventually ended in failure. However, due to the backward communication methods, the Song army also had a dilemma of not getting timely support when urgently needed artillery support.

Li Jun means to form a better tacit understanding between infantry, cavalry and artillery. With a better tacit understanding, the battle will be fought better.

Zhu Ruixiang, Huang Han, Jie Jin, Gao Da, and Huang Shengcai stood up together and said, "Emperor, I am guilty. Please punish me."

Li Jun waved to them to sit down and said, "You can't blame you. This is the first time we have carried out coordinated combat between infantry, cavalry and artillery. There is a lack of experience and problems are inevitable."

After the training of the recruits was completed, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, Li Jun once held a large-scale military exercise, which was just an exercise, and was incomparable to actual combat. For an army, the best exercise venue is actual combat. Of course, actual combat is also the biggest test of an army.

"Second, our army is facing changes. We are about to usher in a new era of coordinated combat between infantry, cavalry and artillery. We are already ahead in technology. However, we have just started our invasion in military theory, especially the training of officers, and are far from adapting to our upcoming war needs. This problem is particularly prominent in this battle. How to indicate the targets of the artillery, how to cooperate with the artillery, and how to seize the fighter jets to maximize the results of the battle are all issues we need to face. It can be said that the officers did not do well, and I am very dissatisfied with this.

"This problem is not only true at the level of our officers, but you all here may also face such problems. I ask you to remember: Only by constantly seeking new and change and firmly grasping new thinking can we win in this war." Li Jun faced reality directly and did not avoid the problem at all.

This problem is actually very normal. The artillery weapon was "airborne" by Li Jun to that era. These ancient people had no idea at all. It would be a bit difficult for them to master the tricks at once. It was just a mistake to use the blindness. It would take another process to completely digest and absorb the Song army. In other words, it would take time. Given time, and with Li Jun's promotion, they would definitely succeed.

This situation is somewhat similar to the military changes of the Western Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han promoted the military changes of the Western Han Dynasty with his extraordinary military talents. However, the generals under his command were unable to master the new command art, which made him very distressed. Li Guang was a typical example.

Under the promotion of Emperor Wu of Han, the Western Han Dynasty had formed a large-scale cavalry unit and had the strength to attack. His military strategy had changed from local defense to overseas attack. However, Li Guang did not master the command art of commanding the cavalry units to conduct large-scale, large-scale detours, and large-scale deep-dives. It was his defensive tactics, which led to him not being named a marquis.

Many people in the past dynasties lamented that those who are not wise say that he is not lucky, but in fact, his ability is not good enough. The real reason why he cannot be martyred is that he cannot lead the army to carry out long-distance raids on the vast grasslands is the real reason why he cannot be martyred. In fact, Li Guang defended the city as a first-class person. Every time he wanted him to defend the city and attract the attention of the Huns, he did a vivid and remarkable job. In today's terms, he is a defensive master. Once he was asked to lead troops to attack, it would be unsatisfactory, and he always "lost the way", that is, he could not meet the main force. He did not even arrive at the battlefield in a key battle like "Decisive Battle of Mobei". Fortunately, Wei Qing defeated the Shanyu, so he did not cause immeasurable losses.

As long as the Song army has a large number of artillery, they don’t need to fight well, and they don’t fight too badly, and they can defeat the Mongolian army. Li Jun is not unaware of this, but he really has a sense of crisis, that is, how long the Song army’s technological advantages can last, he is really unsure. Li Jun, a figure from the 21st century, naturally knows how powerful Kublai Khan, who was originally supposed to be damned, is still there. No one can tell whether they will be inspired or change. If the Mongolian army also masters new technologies and equipment, this problem will be serious.

History has been urged countless times: no matter how advanced the enemy is, as long as it continues to fight for a long time, the backward side will learn a lot from the advanced enemies, constantly improve themselves, and quickly shorten the gap. It was Emperor Wu of Han who got inspiration from the Huns, promoted military changes, and eventually defeated the Huns.

Li Jun is very clear about this principle, and he must make preparations for the forefront. In fact, Li Jun's judgment is extremely correct.

"We must take measures to train and cultivate a large number of officers and generals who can keep up with changes. Only by building a team of excellent generals and excellent officers can our army be truly excellent." Li Jun looked at the generals and warned: "It is not terrible to have problems. As long as you face the problems, work hard to solve them, and find a solution to them, the problem is not only not a problem, but will also promote our improvement. It is our gospel. I would like to give you a sentence: You must dare to face reality and face the problems!"

"Well, General Qian makes sense." Li Jun agreed with Qian Liangneng's opinion and asked: "How sure is General Qian going here? You must know that Guo Kan is not an easy person to deal with. If you meet Brother Ling for too many times, you may find it out to him. In my opinion, don't go this time."

Qian Liangneng is a member of the rebel team. Last time he followed Boyan's army to participate in the siege of Lin'an, and captured the Song army alive in the rescue battle of Lin'an. After Li Jun's brainwashing, he was determined to return to the court and was willing to join the rebel team to contact the Han army in Guo Kan's army.

His biggest gain was that Qian Rentong was his brother. After his efforts, Qian Rentong had promised that as long as the situation was acceptable, he would lead his troops to surrender and surrender to the court.

Li Jun was naturally very happy to receive this news. Some people would definitely call them traitors for the Han army. In fact, they had no choice but to have any difficulties. A hundred years ago, the north became the hands of a foreign race, and had been bullied by foreign races, and hatred for foreign races never stopped. Song Gaozong not only did not support their anti-Jin cause, but also extinguished the flames of resistance with his own hands. As long as they did not confront the court, Li Jun would not make things difficult for them. Unexpectedly, Qian Rentong wanted to surrender. Such a great thing would not be enough to make Li Jun unhappy.

"Prince, please rest assured, I will be careful." Qian Liangneng said confidently: "The Nanying was annihilated, and the eldest brother should make up his mind. I think that I will achieve great success in this trip."

The Song army opened the prelude to encirclement and annihilate the Southern Camp in a new way. The overwhelming firepower preparation was really what the Mongols thought and never saw, and the shocking effect was very great. If Qian Liang could persuade Qian Rentong to surrender at this time, the timing should be said to be very good.

"Since you are so confident, I won't stop you." Li Jun was happy and reminded: "You must act according to the opportunity. If there is any change, come back first to discuss."
