Although they have some deficiencies in discipline, they fight bravely because they only have to kill each other and get enough loot. The only best thing for the Republican Army to do in order to feed these grenadiers is to give them more trophies. Loot revenues account for a large part of the grenadiers' income, and the war is a high risk, but at the same time the gains are also great, which is one of the reasons why the grenadiers continue to be able to survive.

In any case, this was also a reason for the movement of grenadiers to the south.

What Zhang Liao didn't know was that in many other places, some other special combat units were also dispatched to varying degrees to participate in the battle.

For example, Hexi Prefecture transferred two light cavalry companies. They are experts at reconnaissance, espionage, and skirmishes on the battlefield. Among them were more mature cavalry experts. To the east of the river, two engineering units have already reached Zezhou. They're going to be there to help with more engineering. In addition to this, there are artillery units. Field artillery, as well as mortar squads, and so on. These important combat units are being tested in the southern operation, so to speak, the transfer of these combat units. To a large extent, it has the meaning of inspection.

However, Zhang Liao is not clear about these. He just knew that he wanted to apply to go there, and that there were many places that were far more than he knew, and that he needed to solve the actual problem.

The fourth line of defense outside the Bishui Pass was in a short period of fierce fighting. It was occupied by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and this was the second time that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were sent to fight. It was also their success twice. This made the morale of the whole battalion very high.

"As I said, these weapons will make a big difference." An arms dealer gestured with a shot glass. Xi Zhicai also took a bite. He wasn't in a very good mood.

The war was going on here, and the arms dealers of the Republican Army took the opportunity to sell their weapons aggressively, and the flintlock was the most expensive one. However, the entire Kwantung coalition likes to call it a tap fire. Such firearms are expensive and not many people are able to equip them.

Only a local tyrant like Yuan Shu can equip a pro-guard team of about 500 people, and they are all equipped with tap fire. But want to expand the equipment to equip more tap fire. That's simply not possible. Because these arms dealers, who made a fortune in the war, once sold their tap fire for 1,500 yuan. This also led to the fact that Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai both had an impulse to dig each other's hearts to see how dark their hearts were, and then dig a very big pit to bury each other in it. Because this kind of person is very annoying.

But you have to use them.

Because war has made it abundantly clear that without firearms, war will lead to more deaths.

The Kwantung Coalition Army, the firearms currently being purchased, turned out to be ** made by the Republican Army, which is old-fashioned and mainly used to make ** bags. Although the formula has, the optimal formula ratio. Nobody knows. The various military leaders of the Kwantung Coalition Army began to set up their own production workshops, but most of them were extremely unreasonable, and even added all kinds of strange things to them, including medicinal herbs, eggs, and dansha and lime, so the effect of the explosion of the ingredients was very unsatisfactory.

Sometimes, when attacking, a five-pound ** cannon is thrown, and there is not a single fart sound. But it can successfully scare Dong Zhuojun's defense, as well as counterattack.

Because the other party doesn't know whether the things thrown by the other party are blown up or not. It's really a very worrying question.

Sometimes, a large explode is blown up. Sometimes. Motionless. And then there's a fart sound. And then there was nothing. Therefore, to a certain extent, the ** bag has become a deterrent weapon, which makes Dong Zhuojun a headache.

At the same time, the Kwantung coalition was aware of such a problem. There was no way, they could only pay a higher price to buy, and the price of a barrel exceeded 20,000 yuan. It's nothing short of a robbery.

But the Kwantung coalition had to pay for it. There's no way, if all the things you throw are like this, the result can be imagined.

Despite the high price, the arms dealers sell good things, one price, one goods. All of them pinched their noses and confessed.

But it is clear that such weapons are not enough. More often than not. They also need other gear to meet their more needs.

"Your horn guns are too expensive. We simply can't afford it, and, as I say, I know, the IRA has not become a standard weapon. You sell it so expensive. Is it appropriate? Xi Zhicai said angrily. The arms dealer just smiled. He didn't have much objection to such a view. But it's a sale.

The so-called trumpet firearms. In fact, it is a shotgun firearm, using a bullet specially wrapped in an old leather cloth. When firing, even a small piece of wood is needed. The maximum distance to shoot is fifteen paces. But this weapon is the number one killer in trench warfare. Because the bullet he fired was a marble with a large dispersion surface. A single shot can send a lot of people down in a cramped combat environment.

In trench warfare, it is extremely cheap. And the reason why it is called a horn. Because of the mouth of this firearm, the shape of the horn. So, call it a horn firearm.

The price of this firearm is as high as 2,000 yuan, and not only that, but the cost of ammunition is more than 25 yuan per shot. This kind of weapon, no one cares about it at all. At most, it is a trial to buy one, two, too much, no one can afford it.

Ammunition, in particular, is all about throwing money.

Cao Cao was reluctant to accept the musket, but he only bought twelve, and he became extremely distressed. The price of ammunition was only 200 rounds, and the price of the transaction was still 23 yuan. This is still the result of repeated bargaining between the two sides.

It's no wonder that Xi Zhicai doesn't have a good face for arms dealers. But that's how arms dealers make. They also need to pay a certain cost.

From Handan to the front line, there are many levels along the way. The only way for the IRA to get through such more hurdles is to raise the price of goods, and only then can the cost be flattened.

Moreover, the demand of the Kwantung coalition was too little. Arms dealers, simply not able to gain a greater numerical advantage. Therefore, in such a situation, the arms dealer is really helpless. This kind of move is actually a bit helpless.

But it seems to Xi Zhicai. Arms dealers are really hateful, they make money to the bones.

They want to break their bones and sell them for money. It was precisely this mercenary approach that caused dissatisfaction among many people in the Kwantung Coalition Army. This is very detrimental to the arms trade carried out by the Republican Army. But this move is really helpless.

For horn firearms. The IRA had only a small amount of equipment, and they believed that such firearms were of little use, since most of the IRA's operations were fought in the field. Field warfare means that a longer range, a faster range, is needed. As for the power, the demand does not seem to be too great, and the current caliber has been extremely satisfied.

The horn firearm is an attempt at a branch of firearms in the Republican Army's military factory, which is specifically aimed at some special areas, such as specialized forest guarding. There is also hunting, and there are women who are not very difficult to operate, and so on. It is also such a number of factors that are not developed on a very large scale in the military, civilian market, and belong to special types of firearms.

The Republican military needs infantry weapons, and for this kind of small-scale weapons, they only occasionally equip them for experimentation, and do not carry them on a large scale. And the weapons that the IRA could not promote naturally became the sales pitch of the arms dealers. Because it can't be sold, I can only look for luck here.

In fact, horn firearms, such shotgun weapons are dead stock.

The effect is not very large, the power is there, but it needs to be exerted in a special combat environment, and in the field, such a weapon has no effect at all. It's a burning stick. Therefore, the Republican Army will not place too many orders at all, since it cannot be sold. The only way is to find other buyers.

The Kwantung coalition forces and Dong Zhuo fought extremely fierce trench battles. The distance between the two sides is in the trench. The combat environment is extremely special and cramped. It simply can't be dispersed. Firearms such as horn firearms can easily play a great role, and the effect is extremely obvious, and the opponent has no way to attack it.

Cao Cao's soldiers were able to open the gap easily with the help of this, because when they passed at once, it was a large area. Dodging is useless, it's easy to knock down a piece and take the lead.

It's very easy and easy because it's perfectly possible to get to a vantage point.

It's just that the number is a little small. can't make a bigger difference. Otherwise, this would not have happened.

There is no way, the arms dealers of the Republican Army are all black-hearted people, as long as they make money, they can do anything.

Xi Zhicai also has no choice, he really hopes that the other party can make less money, but unfortunately, the other party has no such plans. The Kwantung Coalition as a whole has a demand for each other, and the high price also directly suppresses a certain amount of spending power. After all, neither side is yet very balanced in power. The imbalance in prices severely limits the consumption of firearms.

The IRA has thought of this, but this situation will not change all at once, and they need a suitable moment to solve such a problem. Otherwise, it is natural that some such things will not be accomplished.

The battle has ended, and Cao Jun, who has received the support of firearms, can be regarded as a preliminary benefit from firearms. But for others, it's not clear.
