"It's an unfair war, and the weapons on both sides are extremely unequal." Qin Gan, a reporter from the Qin State, wrote that he was a war correspondent for the Qin Army Daily, and that he was a soldier but also a journalist. His military rank was only a second lieutenant, and it is unlikely that journalists would give him too high a rank, since he was not a combatant.

The Army newspaper sent him here, just hoping that his article could attract the attention of the Qin people, and the fact that the Qin army officer was captured by the Indians has made the army very embarrassed. They hope to gain the serious trust of the people of Qin through the method of news and public relations. Or to raise the Army's already not-so-good reputation. This is about the face of the Qin Army.

But Qin Gan apparently doesn't think so, and he believes that his report should be considerably true. Let the people understand this war in the first person and what it means to them.

"The weapons used by the Indians are still cold weapons, and the only combination of weapons they can inflict damage on the Yueshi is this, short knives, plus heavy bronze shields or iron shields, those shields covered in animal skins can easily be killed by bullets. The Indians came up with whatever solution they could come up with to resist the attack of the Yue, digging a trench became the only best way for them, because this could greatly disrupt the attack formation of the Yuemen, especially the musketeers, the dense musketeer fire of the groups of musketeers could cause them a lot of casualties, and attacking the Yue's musketeers in an open area became the stupidest tactic, I have been fortunate enough to see such a battle. The Indians launched a brave attack in droves, but they were too brave. The price of bravery is that they have to use a lot of lives and blood in exchange for the opportunity to fight in close combat, and this completely unequal war is really not necessary, because they have already lost such a war. Their condition is very bad. It's unfair to them, but that's what war is meant to be. ”

"The trench can alleviate this situation, and it allows them to make full use of their javelins, stones, and shields, and short knives, and they can use the trench to disrupt the offensive formation of the musketeers, and in the narrow trenches, the musketeers are too long. Especially the musketeers, armed with bayonets, were as clumsy as spearmen in a narrow trench. The muskets of the Yueshi could only be fired once, and the bullets could not penetrate the specially reinforced shields, and the lead bullets would only make a bell-bell sound when they hit them, and then they were helpless. The three-edged bayonet is too brittle. The butt of the rifle is the only effective weapon that can withstand the attack, but the short knife will cause a lot of casualties to their soft abdomen, and a large number of Yueshi soldiers will be stabbed to death by the short knife in such a battle. Their bellies were cut mercilessly, their intestines flowed to the ground, they would be killed in pain, and the Indians would torture the Yueshi soldiers mercilessly if they had time, so the Yueshi soldiers were equipped with the best weapons, and grenades would be used on a large scale. They will get out of the battle, out of such a distance. This distance is too dangerous for them. But the number of grenades is too small. They need more of these explosive weapons, and the only way is for them to steal artillery grenades for use, or they make explosives themselves, in short, this is the only way for them. ”

"However, the victory of the Yueshi is still very large, after a short offensive operation, they will encounter the poor rear defense of the Indians, the defense of the Indians is really poor, they do not have a very strong defense in depth, behind the fortress is a large open space, the warehouses of the Indians full of grain, and a large number of ineffective logistics personnel are captured in groups, they have no weapons in their hands, they will not resist at all, just like that, the Indians are captured. The cavalry of the Yueshi people advanced frantically, they constantly captured a large number of complete logistics and transportation teams, warehouses, and the rear of the Indian fortress completely became the racetrack of the Yueshi cavalry, their horses could run to death, and the prisoners were captured one after another. According to my statistics, this number is conservatively estimated to be around 300,000. ”

"This war is just too much of a failure. For the Indici soldiers, I have a high rating. They were not lacking in courage, and most importantly, they fought with great courage and perseverance, they were good soldiers, and their officers were sacrificial, and in trench battles, the number of officers killed was high. But they still failed. The root of the defeat may come from their weapons, which are simply too backward. This led directly to their failure, which was not their fault, but it affected them greatly. They simply cannot afford such a defeat again. ”

"If the Indians want to have a chance to win, the only way for them to do so is to be armed with a lot of muskets, artillery, and use trenches, and in the case of courage and sacrifice of the officers, I think they still have a chance to fight hard, but if they can't do that, for example, if they don't have muskets, this situation will continue to worsen them, because the generation difference in weapons is too great, even if the soldiers are brave, there will be a one-sided situation, This has happened many times with Indians. I think the Indians themselves have sensed the reason for the weapon generation gap, but unfortunately they can only obtain limited firearms by killing the Yueshi people, and there are really no other methods. ”

"As unfair as this war may seem, the Yueshi have achieved so much success that I think they will soon retreat, because every Yue's soldier is full of optimism, and they are eager to answer their homeland, because that is where their wealth begins. Prisoners of war, loot will bring great benefits. This is their best catch. ”

"But their commander was thinking about something else, they wanted to leave a gap, or rather, they wanted to be able to do this again, and such an attack would be too beneficial for them. This is a very tempting gain, and they are unlikely to give up such a gain. I believe that with the first time, there will be a second time. Qin Gan published this article in the military newspaper, and frankly speaking, the article was not well written? But it's considerable, after all, he explains the war from a global point of view. The inequality of war led him to put his own point of view.
