Facing Wu Guanlin's doubts, Lin Ziran said: "So what the official said is if!" ”

"What if?" Wu Guanlin still didn't know what Lin Ziran's true thoughts were.

But since Lin Ziran made it clear that it was an if, then he naturally used his imagination.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Guanlin said, "Do you have a pen and paper?" ”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly to the guards on the side, and immediately brought paper, pens and ink.

After Wu Guanlin took it, he picked up the pen and dipped it in the inkwell, and then wrote and drew directly on the white paper, Lin Ziran could see that he was drawing a simple diagram of the formation on the paper.

When this was written, Wu Guanlin suddenly raised his head and said: "If you have the rate of fire of a smoothbore gun, but what is the effective range of this rifled gun, two hundred and fifty meters?" ”

Two hundred and fifty meters, this is also the effective range of the old rifled guns, and the rifled guns used in many feudal towns of Daheng are the rifled guns 'Weiyuan muskets' that were only equipped in batches when the war broke out between Daheng and the Orissa Empire.

As the name suggests, the musket was powerful and had a long range.

It uses a double-groove rifling, and the bullet is a round bullet with a bulge, which is easy to produce and easy to load.

Its reloading speed is still far inferior to that of smoothbore guns, but at least it is much better than previous rifled guns with polygonal barrels.

In terms of effective firing range, it can be about 250 meters.

Lin Ziran said: "Since it's all hypothetical, naturally you can't follow the rules, so the effective range is set at three hundred meters!" ”

In fact, Lin Ziran originally planned to say 400 meters, but considering that the current Minnie rifle can certainly hit such a distance, it is already difficult for the soldiers to hit the target by aiming with the naked eye.

In the previous many actual battles, although most of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion would shoot at a distance of about 400 meters, the hit was mainly achieved by the barrage, and a few hundred bullets could always be covered.

Not to mention 400 meters, even if it is a distance of 350 meters, even a gunner with excellent marksmanship has to rely on luck to be able to occasionally cover a few.

As long as they enter a distance of 300 meters, with the assistance of mechanical aiming such as rulers, soldiers with excellent marksmanship can hit the enemy more effectively and accurately, rather than relying on Meng.

These data are all exchanged for blood by the Qingshan Patrol Battalion!

Well, with the blood of the enemy!

Whoever made them shoot from a distance every time, this long-distance shooting has been played, and naturally they will slowly know that although the Mini rifle in their hands has a relatively high accuracy of more than 300 meters or even 400 meters, the vast majority of soldiers are unable to play this accuracy.

In the end, after fighting too much, it came to the conclusion that only at a distance of about three hundred meters could one obtain a more objective hit rate, and at the same time be far enough away from the enemy.

Therefore, Lin Ziran set the effective range figure at 300 meters, and asked Wu Guanlin to do it according to the data of 300 meters.

After hearing the three hundred meters, Wu Guanlin didn't have too many doubts, anyway, it was just an assumption, whether it could be achieved or not, just formulate tactics according to this data.

Wu Guanlin did not say that he would start from scratch, but took the existing line tactics and made special modifications to the advantages of rifled guns.

But Lin Ziran didn't know that Wu Guanlin was a doctrine.

What Lin Ziran sees now is that this Wu Guanlin drew a simple diagram in a few minutes, and then continued to improve, and in the end, in just ten minutes, he just made a tactical sketch for Lin Ziran.

Let's not look at whether this tactic is practical or not, but Wu Guanlin, who can directly design a new tactic based on a new weapon within ten minutes, directly suppressed Lin Ziran.

It's worthy of being professional, this quality is awesome!

Lin Ziran sighed in his heart, he had been tossing the new tactics of the Minnie rifle for several months, but he still had no clue, but this Wu Guanlin only took ten minutes to design the new tactics.

This is a talent!

After Wu Guanlin finished drawing the sketch, he had already begun to explain: "If the rifled gun can maintain the rate of fire of the smoothbore gun and has an effective range of 300 meters, then the biggest change in tactics is that the troops can carry out effective strikes against the enemy at medium and long distances!" ”

"Based on this, in the field frontal battlefield, our army should keep an appropriate distance from the enemy and carry out long-range intensive firepower strikes!"

"When entering the battlefield about 500 meters, it is necessary to change from a vertical formation of marching columns to a horizontal formation, and in order to increase the frontal firepower as much as possible, two horizontal formations should be adopted and intensive fire should be carried out at a distance of 300 meters from the enemy!"

Then he explained in detail the tactics of the troops forming a queue on the march and into the battlefield.

However, after Lin Ziran watched it for a long time, he found that this thing seemed to be no different from the line tactics of the current rotten street?

Not at all the skirmish tactics he expected!

Lin Ziran adhered to the qualities that a good boy should have, and asked if he didn't understand: "Is this a line tactic?" ”

Wu Guanlin nodded: "Not bad!" ”

Lin Ziran was a little incomprehensible: "Why? ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Because the hypothetical rifled gun has the same rate of fire as a smoothbore gun, and according to the rate of fire of the smoothbore gun, in order to maintain frontal fire, it is necessary to gather enough troops, and the line formation is the most suitable formation!" ”

"If you don't use line tactics, the density of fire cannot be guaranteed, and at the same time, it is difficult to prevent the enemy's frontal impact!"

As he spoke, Wu Guanlin drew and wrote on the paper: "If we use the tactics of light infantry with more dispersed forces, then once we encounter a rapid assault in a dense formation of the enemy, the enemy will be able to rush over in just 300 meters, and once the enemy rushes over, the straggler formation of the light infantry will not be able to resist this dense impact at all!" ”

"In the same way, if it is attacked by enemy cavalry, the straggler formation cannot effectively form a phalanx, and once it is attacked by enemy cavalry, it will be disastrous!"

When Lin Ziran saw this, he was a little puzzled: "In other words, even if you have a longer range, you can only use line tactics?" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "In essence, the hypothetical rifled gun is comparable to the existing smoothbore gun because of rapid fire, so there are not many changes in tactical use except for having more choices in distance!" ”

After saying that, Wu Guanlin pondered for a moment and continued: "Another important point is that the enemy still uses smoothbore guns and uses dense formations.

For such an enemy, our army will meet in a line formation, and it will achieve greater results than a skirmish line battle! ”

"If the enemy is also equipped with rifled rifles in the setting, then the tactics that need to be used are completely different!"
