"Sir Zhang, look at this, this is the musket produced by our Northern Dynasty itself, and it is a musket that relies on the fire rope to fire." Prince Zhanpu Guofa Ha said to Zhang Dahui. The purpose of Zhang Hui's coming here is to unite with the Zhanpu country to exterminate the Divine Po Sect. At the same time, relying on the extermination of the Divine Religion to expand the status of the country, this can also bring great benefits to the Korean New Army.
"It is." What Zhang Dahui saw was that on a slender wooden strip, there was a very thick barrel, because the barrel was very long and thick, it looked like a small cannon, such a musket, the shape was very peculiar, not only that, but the butt was also a little exaggerated and slender, which seemed to be something that only two people could operate.
"The northern dynasty is modeled after your muskets. It is very powerful, it can fire bullets more than five times your caliber, and the distance of firing is more than 70 steps, and the lethality effect is very large. And they're working on a completely new weapon, which I don't know very well. Prince Faha said.
Zhang Dahui shook his head and said.
"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince can show us this?" Zhang said. He didn't know what the Champs would have introduced such a weapon, which seemed to him to be completely useless. Gunpowder has been known to the Northern Dynasty, as well as the Champ and Mengla people. It's not a secret, as long as there is enough gold, the Koreans, the Chu people, those merchants will tell them, as long as there is enough profit to be made.
"Well, of course." Prince Faha said with a smile. Then the two soldiers began their demonstration of weapons.
This weapon was long and exceeded the height of an ordinary soldier. Such a long weapon was obviously not available to one soldier, he needed two soldiers to use.
The soldier at the front carried the gun on his shoulder, and he kept it as far away as possible, after all, the gunpowder flame and sound from the muzzle of the gun were enough to affect people's health, but there was never a shortage of soldiers in the country of Champu, and they never took the lives of soldiers seriously.
And the soldiers behind carefully aimed at the target, seventy steps unexpectedly a wooden target. It's two inches thick. The caliber is thicker than the point four or five bullets of the South Korean New Army, and in his opinion, it is an artillery. However, the Champ people define it as a gun.
The soldier in the back cables the arquebus, then takes careful aim, pulls the trigger, the arquebus ignites the propellant, and then shoots the bullet. The recoil was relatively large, but there were two soldiers to stabilize the guns, and the muskets still had some stability.
However, instead of hitting a target in the distance, it hit a shelf board in the back.
"The accuracy is a little bit worse. However, if it were fired intensively, I don't think those Goddess Cultists would be able to withstand our attack at all. Prince Faha said with a smile. After all, such weapons are used to kill on the surface, rather than shooting at a single combat target.
"Hmm." Zhang nodded in agreement.
"I don't know. Your Royal Highness, how many times can such a musket be fired in a row? Zhang asked such a question.
"This. I think there will be five times. Prince Faha said.
"I wonder if you can give it a try?" Zhang Dahui wants to fully understand the performance of such weapons.
"There's no problem with that, I'd love to know how our weapons are performing?" Prince Faha then gave the order to conduct the experiment. For such a weapon, Zhang Dahui is still more cautious, after all, the range of the weapon is similar to the range of the new musket equipped by the South Korean new army, in terms of power, a musket still can not confront an artillery, if such a weapon is used in offense, or defense, this is indeed a great threat to the South Korean new army and the Turkish soldiers, Zhang Dahui feels that it is better to be cautious. After all, they still need to have first-hand information about each other.
Soon, however, Zhang learned what he wanted to know. This kind of powerful Northern Dynasty musket actually had a serious explosion accident when it was fired for the third time, and Zhang Dahui didn't react, and he didn't know why such a thing happened.
"This." Prince Faha was obviously a little surprised, and he himself did not expect such a thing to happen.
"Your Royal Highness, we'd better check it out." Zhang General Assembly suggested. He wanted to know what had caused the musket to blow up the chamber. Both soldiers were badly wounded. The condition of the launcher is serious. The whole face was blurred with blood, and the eyeballs were blown off. Mouth, nose badly deformed. A piece of the frontal bone was shrunk, and it was clear that the soldier could not be saved. Another soldier suffered a blow to the back of the head, and a fragment of the barrel of the gun that had been blown away hit the back of the opponent's head. It is the place where the nerves in the cervical spine are most dense, and even the Korean doctors who operated on them may not be able to solve his problem. According to the thinking of the Champ people, the other party must be dead.
"Okay, let's see what's going on." Prince Faha was a little unhappy, but he could only let Zhang Da take a look, after all, the Koreans were superior to them in making muskets. They just kept introducing the musket technology of the Northern Dynasty, in fact, Champ, Bangla, the Northern Dynasty, and many more national city-states were stepping up the development of flintlock pistols imported from Korea, flintlock pistols need spring plates, they can make them by hand, but the time spent is very large, and imitation weapons can also be achieved. More than Korean weapons, however, it is simply impossible to want to produce them in large quantities, which requires extremely skilled craftsmen to make them.
In order to solve the problem of mass production, the northern dynasty came up with such a solution as the arquebus, but their barrels could not solve it very effectively.
The barrel that Zhang Dahui saw was such a problem, they used the method of casting, so the weight of the barrel was very heavy, and it was difficult for a soldier to operate, so they needed two soldiers to operate, if it was in a marching state, more soldiers might be needed, because such a heavy weapon, the physical strength consumed was very large, and the musketeers who arrived on the battlefield could not fight in time due to excessive physical strength, even if they were fighting, it greatly affected the performance of the musketeers. Therefore, the best thing to do is to equip more musketeers to reduce the physical exertion of their muskets.
The problem with the barrel is serious. The second half was blown into a trumpet. Zhang Da shook his head, the launcher must have placed a large amount of gunpowder. Zhang looked at the gunpowder. Gunpowder is not granular gunpowder. And the powder is extremely inconsistent, and sulfur can be seen in it. Something like saltpeter. Obviously, the quality of such gunpowder is very poor, and Zhang Dahui believes that the launcher must only have more such gunpowder in order to ensure that there is enough gunpowder to push the projectile. As a result, the extra gunpowder became a key point, completely killing himself. Because of the quality of gunpowder and the popularity of paper.
In Bangla. Zhamp, paper is still very expensive, but Koreans can easily use this kind of paper, because the Koreans blocked the papermaking technology, the Mengla people have not been able to learn, they can not popularize such a large-scale paper, therefore, they can not guarantee the paper shells used for gun ammunition. And that's what happened.
Next is the barrel, because it is cast, the iron is inevitably not up to par, although they have a certain amount of cast iron technology, but it is simply not enough to meet the needs of the barrel. Therefore, their barrels are cast, more like a cannon. And not muskets. However, Zhang Dahui soon made a surprising discovery, among this batch of muskets, there were bronze muskets. Apparently the Indians of the North have used whatever method they have at their disposal.
"Oh my God." Zhang said.
"You still have a bronze musket?" Zhang asked curiously.
"Oh. This, this was specially sent by their northerners, and they said, such muskets, their stability is very high. Prince Faha said. Zhang just nodded. For such a weapon, he did feel very amazing, because bronze is indeed the best material for casting artillery, before the steel problem is completely solved, the best material for artillery is bronze, and the Qin State has dissolved a large number of bronze weapons for this. And the state of Chu also cast quite a lot of bronze artillery.
"Perhaps, those bronze cannons can help you." Zhang Dahui said.
"Your muskets are more like artillery. In my opinion, you should be mounted on wheels, and the caliber can be cast larger, and not this musket, which we generally call artillery. Zhang explained. Because the caliber of the opponent's musket is already very large. Plus a huge shape. Those who don't know think they are carrying artillery to fight. Prince Faha looked at the musket in fascination. Apparently he didn't think of it either. Zhang will come up with such an idea.
Actually, from what they learned about the presence of such a weapon in South Korea. None of the Indians, the Menla, the Cham gave up the study of gunpowder weapons, they studied many weapons, for example, they invented the dynamite bag wrapped in cotton, which was the simplest weapon. But such a weapon can only be used against infantry, and it is very troublesome to use, because the explosive power of gunpowder is not very large, and obviously there is enough explosive power to make the gunpowder bag very large, which usually requires a lot of strength for soldiers to use. For such a weapon, it is also very easy for the opponent to guard against it, so it is also very difficult to fight. It can only be used in specific environments.
Yue's front. Behind the Indian positions.
"This is the latest photo we got together, and we spent quite a lot of gold coins for these photos, and you know, the Qin people's photographic skills are very expensive. It usually costs fifteen gold coins to do this. An arms dealer said. In fact, it is usually enough to hire a photographer for one gold coin. However, it is a bit difficult to take this photo, and it is not possible to take pictures near the barracks. The Qin people warned the Yueshi people early on that photographic technology was first used in the military, and the Qin people were mainly used for reconnaissance, and they were able to get the most intuitive information through aerial photography. Therefore, for things like photography, they try to prevent the other party from using it as much as possible. But he still had a way, he found a Yueshi officer and gave the other party some money, saying that it was for his wife to take pictures, so the other party agreed. They take landscape photos on the commanding heights, which is very popular in the Qin State, and naturally it is also very popular in the Yueshi, many Yueshi girls, men wear Qin costumes, they take pictures in the scenery and beautiful places, but the commanding heights are very good scenic spots, of course, it is also the best military area, there are artillery positions, but also observation positions, but they still got such photos.
"See, here, here, here are all cavalry camps, a large number of horses are here, and the cavalry units have not moved. And here, this is an artillery position, and if the Yueshi want to attack, they will have to use a lot of artillery. Without artillery, there would have been no offensive at all. Do you know? The arms dealer said.
The middle-ranking officers were very interested in these pictures, they didn't know how the Qin people did such a technique, they really couldn't believe that someone could paint the painting technique so well. It's as if the people inside are standing in front of you.
"Don't look at the women, look at the cavalry behind, those are the things you need most." The arms dealer said impatiently. Those Indians are very and look very lewd, but their armies are like that, and you can't do anything about it.
"Okay, okay, I got it. It seems that what you are saying is true. The mid-level officer said.
"This is certainly true, a large number of cavalry units are here, and the artillery is also here, and there are quite a few infantry, it is unlikely that there will be too many deviations." The arms dealer said.
"Okay. I know. I'll pay you quite a bit. The mid-ranking officer nodded, seeing that a large number of cavalry were here, so that they could rest assured. If the Yueshi people don't attack, their state can become very good.
Ramsay. Zhang Shun and Ster were rushing to the town in the rear to have a meal last time. Sturt told Zhang Shun the good news, their tunnel had been dug and there was enough space. The first batch of explosives has been planted, and they are going to put 10,000 stone of explosives. Such explosives would send the Ram fortress into the sky, and more than half of them were high explosives.
"Those are all people? How is the uniform different from yours? "On the way. Zhang Shun saw something different, a group of infantry in black uniforms walked up, they were all infantry.
"Oh. These are the police. They're here to keep the law. Sturt said.
"Actually, I think you should understand who they are." Sturt whispered at this time.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Shun asked.
"In our east, there are a large number of arms dealers, they are not only selling arms, but they are also selling military intelligence, in order to prevent this from happening, the troops reinforced from the rear are all sent in the name of maintaining law and order, they are ostensibly police, in fact, they are the army, they are very good fighting troops." Sturt explained.
"I see." Zhang Shun nodded and said.
"Those arms dealers seem to be very capable." Zhang Shun said.
"Of course, with the money, they can get what you want, of course. It has a lot to do with some of us above, being a soldier is for their own interests, as long as they make money, they are willing to sell some of their intelligence to them. Sturt said.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. These do not affect us very much, and our troops will be brought over. Sturt said.
"Until the last moment, the order will not be given." Stern said mysteriously.
Inside Moran's headquarters.
"The Indians do not seem to be aware of our military operations, in the Laam area they show no signs of increasing their forces, however, our explosives have already begun. We'll need some time," Moran said.
"So, we need to send some troops to participate in offensive operations now, at least cavalry units." Meng Ping said.
"I'm worried that this will cause alarm among Indians." Moran was still a little worried.
"We can create some illusions, send more tents, and more soldiers. Indians have no idea what we're going to do. Meng Ping said.
"Okay, just do what you want." Moran nodded in agreement, in order to launch such an attack, the Yueshi would have to do some hidden moves, for example, they would hide their tracks. Mainly for Indians.
Xianyang, Qin State. Staff.
"The Yueshi people adopted the tactics of sapper blasting in the Ram area to open the Ram fortress." Wang Jian said.
"The Indians don't know about this plan, it's just that I'm worried about what they want to do after they open Ram." Wang Jian said worriedly.
"To the south, they can reach Karachi. There was a harbor there, and then east along Karachi, you could enter the Indian hinterland, which was the front point of the Yue's previous attack. Wang Jian said.
"You say, will the people of the Yue Clan occupy such a place this time?" Yang Duanhe asked.
"I think it's possible, at least it's going to be very beneficial to them." Wang Jian said.
"Hmm. Hopefully, this will work very well, but it will require more troops, and they can't do it without that number of troops. Wang Jian said.
"That's not our thing. I don't think the Yueshi are able to effectively deplete those areas at the moment, and the Indians have amassed too many forces there. Wang Jian said.
"If you can't effectively consume these troops, no matter how many Yueshi people do, they will only have a great impact. The Yueshi can't change this situation, they can't annex so many areas, and the solution still needs to be done by politics. Wang Jian said.
"This is my personal opinion, you can record it and hand it to the prime minister, I think the prime minister will be very satisfied." Wang Jian said.
