Chapter 976: Mystery and Mystery

It is the autumn wind that sweeps away the fallen leaves, and it is like a storm sweeping clouds.

The killing of Lu Qi's iron cavalry will not leave any room for the Seljuks, and the iron horse Jingo, rampage.

How could the Seljuk cavalry, who had already fought first, be an opponent?

They just want to run before they start fighting, but how do they get out?

The three horses of the Qi army who attacked were all first-class horses accumulated by the Lu Qi Dynasty over the years. From East Kopchak, from Huathornzim, from Anxi, from Tianzhu, a large number of high-grade military horses gathered in the Western Regions, these are the capital of Lu Qi's great rejuvenation of the horse army.

On weekdays, the Transshipment Division followed the road that ran through the east and west, sending war horses to the Central Plains in batches, but in the past two years, it has stopped, and a large number of excellent war horses have gathered in the Western Regions and Anxi, all preparing for the current war.

With such a good horse in hand, Lu Qi rode iron, if he could still let the hooked fat fish run away, there would be ghosts.

The pursuit was a long one, and the battle soon moved away from the musket battalion.

The soldiers in the latter breathed a sigh of relief, and one by one they panted and lay on the battlefield with their backs to the sky, the battle was over, the task was completed, and the battle was won. They survived.

At this moment, the surrounding plain is completely out of sight, and the green ground is covered with blood and corpses of men and horses.

The medical battalion has not yet arrived.

Hundreds of soldiers with varying degrees of severity were squared to the ground, and on the other side was the body of a fallen soldier. The military doctor who accompanied the army was nervously bandaging the former.

Faces with eyes permanently closed, corpses trampled on and shapeless, soldiers looking at the bodies of their comrades, a heart-piercing pain made everyone grit their teeth.

It wasn't until the painful wail of a soldier who had lost an arm that broke the silence of the atmosphere, and the doctor next to him clearly knew that Jin Chuangyao couldn't stop the bleeding, so he pressed the soldier and pressed the soldering iron that had just burned red on the wound.

The pungent smell of "Zila......" spreads through the air.

Accompanied by that chilling sound, there was a scream ten times more terrible than the wounded soldier. The pain was so great that he fainted. The medic quickly sprinkled white powder on the scalded wound, and then quickly wrapped the bandage, and that was the end of it. It will be sent back to the medical camp in a while, and this kind of injury can only be like this, and as for whether the wounded soldier himself can survive or not, it depends on whether he can survive it.

……

Under the city of Nishapur, the battle report was sent back before the musket battalion returned to camp. Yue Fei looked at the casualty figures on the battle report, and he was not shocked at all, but Zhu Wu, who was the right army division of the army, smiled. Especially after hearing that Arslan's henchmen had returned, he left the center of the army with a smile on his face, and Shi Shiran rushed towards the camp of the Flower Thorn Zim.

"If it is true that only fifty or sixty people were killed in the war, and less than 100 were wounded?" Arslan looked at the henchman in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

Five hundred musketeers fought against three thousand Seljuk cavalry, and only paid such a small price, and killed several times as many enemies, is this the fantastical "One Thousand and One Nights"?

If the person in front of him was not his cronies, Arslan could be sure that he would not betray him, and he would draw a knife and cut someone.

Fooling a fool?

"My esteemed Highness, how dare I deceive you? The Chinese died so many in battle, fifty or sixty, maybe even less than fifty. And they killed at least three hundred horsemen, no, four hundred. I can swear to the Buddha! ”

The cronies also knew that what they said was a bit unbelievable, but it was really true.

It would not be long before the musketeers would return to the camp, and it would be clear how many men were left and how many were dead and wounded.

"How can a musket have such great combat effectiveness?" Arslan had believed this fact in his heart, but he really couldn't believe it.

Zhu Wu turned two white jade balls in his hands, and the whole person did not look like a military advisor of the army, but more like an old man who came to Arslan to chat. There is a sense of peace all over the body.

"What does the virtuous nephew think of the musket? The soldiers were outnumbered and outnumbered, with 52 killed and wounded, and more than 400 killed. Is the advantage of firearms comparable to that of a bow and arrow? ”

Arslan's face was slightly ugly, he was also a smart man. How can I not understand the deep meaning of Zhu Wu's words - the era of archery and horses is coming to an end, a grassland warrior who has been riding horses and shooting arrows since he was a child, on the battlefield may not be worthy of a Han farmer who has practiced smoothbore guns for several months! And this will also be doomed, and Tianfang will never want to turn over under Lu Qi's hands.

In this world, only Tianzhu can compete with China in terms of population.

Arslan laughed dryly, "The power of the musket is amazing, and the little nephew has been taught. It's a pity that although its efficacy is good, the price is not cheap, and the gunpowder is also expensive and tight. ”

Zhu Wu actually wanted to do business with Kangju, and wanted to sell a batch of firearms to Kangjuguo for the ordnance supervisor. The first moment these words reached Arslan, it really scared him a little.

After following Lu Qi on the saddle for so many years, how did he not know the sharpness of firearms? And how do you not know how strict the Chinese are about the secrecy of firearms? Is Zhu Wu testing them? Or do you suspect that they are thorny?

Later, I learned that the Chinese's firearms had been leaked.

The Western Regions Province has been busy for a while, and only some black hands have been caught pretending to be obstacles and throwing outcasts, or dead soldiers, it can be said to be accurate that the confidential data of the guns has 'flown out'.

How to eat the head of the Flying Tiger without saying it, the sudden change in attitude of Hengzhi Jinling made everyone stunned.

One moment there was a treasure hidden and not allowed to be seen, and the next moment it was going to be taken out and sold?

Zhu Wu didn't understand why such a big change was, but the task always had to be completed, right?

The Flower Thorn Zimo Man is an important chess piece for Lu Qi to balance the Heavenly Fang, and the sale of guns to Ah Jisi is to strengthen the strength of the Flower Thorn Zimo Man. And thinking like this, Zhu Wu's main target now is Arslan.

Although he always felt that there was another mystery in this matter. Arslan did not dare to take care of everything, and only expressed his desire for artillery, and he still shirked the musket.

As for whether he really despised the musket, or for some other reason, only Arslan himself knew. On the surface, he just didn't look down on the musket, thinking that the latter was too slow and inaccurate.

The unit price of the latter is far less sharp than that of the cannon, but no matter how low the price is, it can't stop a large number. And if you buy a musket, you need to have gunpowder, as well as gun wear, etc., and the overall price is not cheap.

"The musket is not expensive, the material is a few catties of good iron, a few catties of wood, and the cost is labor. Labor is actually not expensive, how many laborers can be used for a musket? How much money can a worker spend? This musket has been cooked by the imperial court, and it is produced in large quantities, at most thirty or fifty yuan a piece. There are more than that number of bows in a slightly more regular way, unless you use that hunting bow......"

"At least when they're defending the city, they're much more powerful than a crossbow. This thing is not accurate, it has to be gathered and used. ”

Mass production, standardization, assembly line technology, these years have been closely linked with the Ordnance Supervisor, which actually has a bit of industrialization! When Lu Qi was still Liang Shanjun, he introduced the concepts of standardization and assembly line production. Later, when the Ordnance Supervision Department developed and grew, it insisted on this line of thinking even more.

The large number of simple machinery driven by various hydraulic and animal power has greatly improved the production efficiency and reduced the production cost.

This is true not only for guns, but also for swords, guns and armor. The overall price of armaments is getting lower year by year.

Taking simple plate armor as an example, the cost of a 30-pound infantry plate armor has fallen from one hundred and fifty taels per unit at the beginning to about one hundred yuan now [66.67 taels]! In large-scale manufacturing, the yield is much higher than at the beginning, and the overall price drops quickly.

"Your Majesty has high hopes for Kangju. Your future is not in the Aral Sea, but in the wilderness. ”
