The rapid and intensive firing caused the artillery to quickly shift their positions, and the smoke characteristic of the gunpowder firing had seriously affected the aiming and firing of the artillery. But in order to increase the observability of the exercises. Wang Jian had to temporarily transfer cavalry horse artillery units to shoot at close range.

Horse artillery is mainly aimed at the local cavalry when it is attacking, taking the lead in launching fire suppression, and then the cavalry carries out counter-suppression. This is the way of fighting that the Qin army itself came up with. Shang Wen didn't know about these, and he didn't bother to care. And it doesn't matter. Because there is a certain degree of professionalism in the industry.

The horse artillery quickly reached the infantry phalanx and fired at close range. Their artillery, although it differed from the caliber of infantry artillery by an inch. But at this point, the power is greatly reduced. The firing range is much inferior to that of infantry artillery. The power is sometimes very annoying. Fortunately, they only provided fire support, and the rest was all about the cavalry. They don't care so much. But the cavalry units complained about the horse artillery they were equipped with. It's a pity that weapons have already been manufactured on a large scale. It is not possible to return the goods.

Grenades were still used in the first round of shooting. The effect of the strike is not as wonderful as that of infantry artillery. The auditorium began to feel that it was not worth looking at. Because, the grenade power of infantry artillery is greater than that of horse artillery. In order to improve the ornamentality. The horse artillery unit came up with a killer weapon. A large number of shells of various types were used. Chain bombs. The damage is staggering. A row of wooden stakes placed in close proximity was knocked down. Originally, this thing was the equipment of the Navy. Against these stakes, of course, you can see the power. This time, the spectators in the stands were re-engaged. Next, the horse artillery uses throwing knife shells. The knives are initially folded into the barrel, and after firing, the air resistance increases. Open the blade and fly into the crowd to kill. The effect of the killing is the poor flock. They have already received the rumbling cannon fright, and then give them the final blow. But the final blow was obviously very painful. Knife bullets are heavy on wounds, not on killing. The swift blades can only seriously injure it, not kill it.

The horse artillery units quickly finished firing. After these rounds of artillery attacks, in particular, two artillery regiments. Plus an attack of a horse artillery battalion. A large intensive fire of more than a hundred artillery pieces. The opponent's formation is completely out of shape.

Li Mu still had a clear understanding at the beginning, and he thought that the Qin army must have a lot of equipment and artillery. But he didn't expect that the number of artillery pieces in this unit in which the Qin army participated would be as high as more than a hundred. This is obviously beyond Li Mu's preemptiveness. Think about it, in the future, the first thing the Zhao army will face is the indiscriminate bombardment of nearly 100 artillery pieces. On the front, Zhao Jun had no room to fight back at all. Even if a large number of artillery pieces are equipped, they cannot suppress the opponent's artillery. Dense artillery can completely replace the effect of inaccuracy, and the opponent uses grenades, which far exceed the killing effect of solid bullets. It has a greater effect on your artillery.

What Li Mu didn't know was that the establishment of the Qin army focused on firepower from the beginning. It can be seen from the weapons traditionally equipped by the Qin army that they are very concerned about the suppression of frontal firepower. A long-range crossbow. This was followed by the launch formation. These are all manifestations of the Qin army's emphasis on frontal firepower. Now, the Qin army has been replaced with muskets and artillery, and it is natural for them to use this tradition with their attention to firepower. Shang Wen initially thought that the Qin army's artillery establishment was too large. Three musket regiments plus two artillery regiments. The number of artillery regiments was almost the same as that of musket regiments. But now it seems. Qin Jun's approach was undoubtedly correct. In a head-on confrontation, none of the six countries was able to resist the first attack of the Qin army.

Xiang Yan was surprised and helpless by the artillery attack displayed by the Qin army. If it is used against the Chu army. The Chu army had no room to fight back at all. Distance. The Qin army can attack you a few dozen arrows away. And you can only be beaten. Before you can finish your formation, you'll be beaten to pieces. Such a way of playing. What else do you think? The only way to do that is to shorten the distance. Or to avoid the advantage of the Qin army's strong firepower. Seek out the weak flanks of the Qin army to attack. In this way, there is a chance to engage with the Qin army in a short battle.

But soon they were thinking of another way. The infantry began to attack. The infantry attacked in battalion units. Slowly advance in a neat three-line formation. When there is resistance, they start shooting. Don't break it until the other party doesn't break it. And then start moving forward. Anyone who tries to resist at close range, will be disposed of by bullets, bayonets. There is no chance to fight back at all.

At this time, the Celestial Army began to participate in the battle. Due to the very limited load capacity. Because they use hot air. And not hydrogen. They need to spend a lot of fuel to provide hot gas. Therefore, their stay time is very limited. It is also destined that the use of such airships cannot be used for long-distance raids. The theory of the Great Air Force does not yet have room to survive.

The airships of the Celestial Army are armed with two-inch small-caliber guns, but they have the advantage that they can fly very freely to the enemy's head and then attack. The cavalry also began to attack, believing that the Celestial Army was challenging the authority of the army. They decided to speak with a swift offensive with their own carbuses and sabers.

The Heavenly Army did not dare to show weakness either. It also began to launch an offensive independently. But the goal of this exercise is not to allow the Celestial Forces to launch an offensive independently. Rather, the Celestial Army and the Army were instructed to work together. Try out the new combat mode. Obviously, the contradictions between the two armies were intensified after the participation of the Celestial Army. The two sides are fighting their own battles.

The Celestial Army's airships are slow. It is not possible to arrive in a short time. But the cavalry could. The cavalry often attacked before the Celestial airships arrived. This is useless for the airship of the Celestial Army. The airship became a spectator.

On the ground, in order to test the combat theory, yellow salute shells began to be fired as an offensive instruction, and at the same time the cavalry was strongly ordered to stop the attack. Let them contain their troops and wait for orders. Seeing the indicated target, the Celestial Army quickly adjusted its direction. Go on the offensive. And the cavalry units of the army, having to stop the offensive under a stern order.

With the Celestial Army destroying targets with their own artillery. The exercise is basically over. Some of the latter sweeping work was solved by the infantry and cavalry of the army. The combat mission of the Celestial Army was basically completed, and it began to return home.

In the end, the day-long exercise was finally over. Due to the relationship of time. Tomorrow the Qin army will begin to exhibit some of its own weapons and equipment. The Celestial Army is not among them. This is the killer weapon of the Qin State, and the Qin State took it out this time because of the reason to deter the Six Kingdoms. Visit. That's impossible. After landing safely. The airship was immediately dismantled and transported back to Xianyang overnight to stand by.
