Shaanzhou.

On the school field of the headquarters of the Chinese Army.

Yue Fei, Wu Jue, Zhang Xian, and Wang Yan personally tried the flintlock pistols that Li Yan sent to them for a while, and the four of them went to check the targets they had hit.

The more they looked at it, the more solemn the expressions on the faces of Yue Fei and the four of them became.

In the end, Wang Yan was the first to speak: "This musket is so powerful, the range is four hundred and fifty to seven hundred steps, and it can penetrate a finger-thick wooden board three hundred meters away, and its range and armor-piercing ability are above the Divine Arm Bow, even the rate of fire is much stronger than the Divine Arm Bow, in my opinion, it can completely replace the Extension Arm Bow." ”

Zhang Xian then said: "The only thing that this musket can't compare to the Divine Arm Bow is its shooting accuracy. ”

The large flintlock pistol was actually more advanced than the early European flintlock pistol.

This is because Li Yan, who was prescient, put forward the concept of rifling at the beginning of the development of the flintlock pistol, which was not found in the early European flintlock pistol.

It is precisely because of this that the shooting accuracy of the early European flintlock pistol is very low, and it is only possible to hit the target they aim at at a distance of 50 to 70 meters, while the shooting accuracy of the large flintlock pistol can be guaranteed, as long as it is well-trained, it can definitely shoot at the target that it aims at within 30 meters, and with the maturity of rifling technology, the shooting accuracy can be further improved.

But then again, although the firing accuracy of the large medium flintlock pistol exceeded that of the early European flintlock pistol, this accuracy was still not comparable to that of the bow and crossbow.

Wang Yan said: "Although the shooting accuracy of this musket is not as good as that of the Divine Arm Bow, between the musket and the Divine Arm Bow, I still choose to use the musket, and in the musket combat method given by the official, there is a way to solve the shooting accuracy of the musket, that is, you can make up for it by shooting in a row." ”

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "I just said that the shooting accuracy of this musket is not as good as the divine arm bow, and I didn't say that this musket can't replace the divine arm bow, the official family is a step to see a hundred steps of the Ming Jun, since he sent this musket to us for experimentation, it means that the official family is ready to use this musket to replace the divine arm bow, or even replace the bow and arrow, but the official family has always done things safely, so we need to use actual combat to support his ideas." ”

Wu Jue said: "It's okay for this musket to completely replace the Divine Arm Bow, but it's not the time to completely replace the bow and arrow, its rate of fire and accuracy are too far from the bow and arrow, so unless this musket can be further improved, it can't replace the bow and arrow." ”

Zhang Xian said: "It takes at least two years to train an archer, and this archer must also have talent, and this musket, we have just touched it for a long time, and it can already be used, and there is a bayonet on this musket, so it can not only be used as a long-range weapon, but also as a melee weapon, so this musket is a long-term equipment, in my humble opinion, the bow and arrow will be eliminated by the musket sooner or later." ”

Wu Jue said: "You are right, sooner or later, this musket will completely eliminate the bow and arrow, but not now, now, we have nearly a million troops, of which there may be more than 100,000 skilled archers, do you want these 100,000 archers to give up the bows and arrows they are familiar with, and use muskets that they are not familiar with?" In addition, the musket will be fired with a loud noise, so it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry to equip it, so the cavalry still has to be equipped with bows and arrows. ”

Wang Yan said: "In my opinion, the cavalry will be eliminated sooner or later." ”

Wu Jue smiled: "At least at this stage, the cavalry will not be eliminated. ”

Yue Fei glanced at Wu Jue, Zhang Xian, and Wang Yan, and knew exactly what they were fighting for.

Originally—

The position of commander-in-chief of the western region should have been chosen between Zhang Xian and Wang Yan.

Unexpectedly, at this last moment, Wu Jue was parachuted in and snatched away the position of commander-in-chief that should have belonged to Zhang Xian and Wang Yan.

Yue Fei was the generalissimo of the Song Dynasty, so naturally he couldn't let Wu Jue, Zhang Xian, and Wang Yan keep fighting, and then there was a gap in his heart.

Therefore, Yue Fei said: "The official family said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and this should be the main reason why the official family did not take the liberty to change our clothes, so whether this musket can replace the bow and crossbow will not be known until it is on the battlefield." ”

Since Li Yan has already decided that the commander-in-chief of the western region is Wu Jue, according to Li Yan's character, it will be easy not to change people, so Zhang Xian and Wang Yan will not be able to compete with Wu Jue no matter what.

Although Yue Fei was the generalissimo, because the distance between the two fronts was too far, he himself had no time to directly manage the battle on the Western Front.

Therefore, Yue Fei needs Wu Jue's support, at least Wu Jue's cooperation.

Based on this, Yue Fei said to Zhang Xian and Wang Yan: "The strength of your Western Front is much stronger than my Eastern Front, otherwise, I will give the official family a chapter and ask Brother Zicai or Zongben to go to the Eastern Front to help me?" ”

Everyone is a human spirit, and they understand that Yue Fei is saying: "If you two can't fully cooperate with Wu Jue's work, then I will have to transfer you to the Eastern Front." ”

Moreover, these people all understand that with Li Yan's character, as soon as Yue Fei's chapter is released, Zhang Xian or Wang Yan will definitely be transferred.

This is also a long-standing tradition of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army has never been ambiguous in the matter of command.

Yue Fei's words undoubtedly roasted Zhang Xian and Wang Yan.

This also shows that Yue Fei is not very good at dealing with people.

It's okay -

Wu Jue took over the words and said, "Generalissimo, you ran to your subordinates to grab your subordinates' right-hand men, isn't this appropriate?" ”

Yue Fei said: "I don't want Brother Zicai and Zongben in vain, I will exchange Wang De and Niu Gao for you." ”

Wu Jue didn't even think about it, so he said: "Don't change, although Wang De and Niu Gao are also very good at fighting, but Zicai and Zong Ben have been fighting here on the Eastern Front for more than a year, which can be compared with Wang De and Niu Gao who have just arrived?" ”

Yue Fei glanced at Zhang Xian and Wang Yan, and then asked Wu Jue: "Do you really want to change?" ”

Wu Jue said unequivocally: "Absolutely not, if you Yue Pengju want to force a change, then I, Wu Jue, have no choice but to give the official family a discount, and ask the official family to treat you for the crime of bullying the small." ”

Yue Fei and Wu Jue's singing and harmony directly clarified the relationship between the four of them, and also warned Zhang Xian and Wang Yan not to try to challenge this relationship between superiors and subordinates.

From this point of view, the tacit understanding between Yue Fei and Wu Jue is still good.

And Zhang Xian and Wang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly!

In fact, they did not mean to challenge Wu Jue's authority.

They are all veterans, fighting with Li Yan from south to north, from west to east, from north to south, and then from south to center, and finally winning the Central Plains, how can you not know that in the Chinese army established by Li Yan, the upper is always the top, and the lower is always the bottom, even if the upper is really wrong, it is not allowed to go down and change?

In other words, the relationship between the superiors and subordinates of the Chinese army is very clear and unchangeable, and no one can change it except Li Yan.

So, it is impossible for them to make this low-level mistake.

Of course, they were a little sour about Wu Jue's sudden parachuting to the west.

However, then again, they can also understand Li Yan's approach, who made them fail to recover the west in one fell swoop before, otherwise how could Wu Jue take their place?

If they dare to be ambiguous, Yue Fei and Wu Jue will definitely not hesitate to transfer them away, even if they are replaced, they will definitely do the same, this is the tradition of the Chinese army.

Therefore, Zhang Xian first said: "Zhang Xian is the minister of the official family, is the minister of the big and medium, naturally respects the order of the official family and the imperial court, the official family and the imperial court let Zhang Xian be on the western front, Zhang Xian is on the western front, the official family and the imperial court let Zhang Xian be on the eastern front, Zhang Xian is on the eastern front, on the western front, General Wu is the main general, Zhang Xian naturally obeys the command of General Wu, in the east and west, General Yue is the main general, Zhang Xian naturally obeys the command of General Yue, in short, whether on the eastern front or on the western front, Zhang Xian will do his duty as a minister and a soldier. ”

Wang Yan then said: "Wang Yan is the same. ”

Zhang Xian and Wang Yan both expressed their willingness to listen to Yue Fei and Wu Jue's orders, but they also explained: "We listen to you, not because we obey you, but because the official family and the court let us listen to you." ”

Yue Fei and Wu Jue didn't care about this, they were not warlords, so they only needed Zhang Xian and Wang Yan to listen to their orders, and they didn't need Zhang Xian and Wang Yan to obey them.

So, the matter passed quickly.

After that, the four of them talked about business.

Yue Fei said: "After Zhang Jun entered Shu, the Song army seems to be unified? ”
