Li Jing didn't quite understand, why Li Yuanji said he couldn't look down on this equipment that had already shown such powerful firepower?

Time is going by, and the times are developing, from the era of cold weapons a few years ago, to the current era of hot and cold hybridization.

Some people say that Li Yuanji's Qi army advanced the war against the Tang army too quickly, and the collapse of the Tang army was too hasty, and even made people feel a little nonsense.

Even Li Jing thought so at the beginning.

But now, if you look back at those events, you will find that it was all under control.

A large number of firearms appeared, not to mention the Tang Army, and it was impossible for any force to be able to stop the pace of the Qi Army.

And this time to attack Tibet, although the Tang army also prepared a lot of firearms, but in fact not much was really used, only a small part of the time to use these advanced equipment, but even so, after adapting to the environment of Tibet, the Tang army still successfully took the entire Tibet, the Tubo army was defeated.

When he saw the new equipment, Li Jing was deeply shocked.

In addition to being shocked, he even saw that Li Yuanji deliberately wanted to carry out the firearms to the end.

From the perspective of an old commander, the three hundred new weapons in the hands of the forbidden army are now enough to defy the sky.

If it is equipped with 300 bows and arrows, plus 10 bomb throwers, and 5 rocket artillery, the strength of less than 3,000 troops will not be able to get close to the side of this thousand defenders at all.

"The minister thinks that if a 10,000-strong army formation is equipped with a new type of equipment like three or five thousand, the Mo knife in the hands of the soldiers can be used as a spare weapon." Although Li Yuanji said that it was not perfect, Li Jing made no secret of his love for this new weapon.

What is the most frightening thing about Datang? If you have to pick one out, it must be the Mo Dao Formation.

But where did the Modao Array go now? It's basically all gone.

Yes, the most elite Mo Dao Formation was eliminated, which is incredible, but it is a result that has to be accepted.

The emergence of bomb throwing vehicles and new military formations has led to the inevitability of the elimination of the Modao array, and the emergence of this new weapon has made Li Jing see the possibility of the elimination of the horizontal sword.

"Although the musket is powerful, it is not without drawbacks, if it is in rainy and humid weather, these thousands of soldiers equipped with muskets will completely lose their combat effectiveness. And it's very easy to hurt yourself, although it's still good overall, but now is not the time. Li Yuanji sighed.

I just put forward ideas and put forward a general direction, subject to the influence of technology and scientific and technological factors, with the ability of the Academy of Sciences, it can only do this step at present.

Whether it is an arquebus, or those early firearms, the requirements for the environment are particularly strict.

It was not until the advent of real bullets, coupled with the development of industrialization that a new era was ushered in, and the accuracy of various components became higher and higher, that the problem of not being able to shoot a gun on a rainy day was gradually solved.

But even so, it is necessary to maintain the firearm frequently, otherwise, it is a small problem that the bullet cannot be fired, and it will not be fun to explode.

Although with the current power of gunpowder and the improvement of iron-smelting technology, the possibility of exploding the chamber is not great, there are some things that cannot be concluded so simply.

"Now that there is no threat around the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo will temporarily let him jump first, but I can't test the lives of the soldiers." Li Yuanji continued to shake his head and said.

"But this doesn't affect ah, the army has one more means of killing the enemy, and the greater the certainty of winning on the battlefield, since you already know the disadvantages of the musket, pay more attention when using it, and moreover, it is equipped with a musket, and the soldiers will not forget the real killing ability, it must be both." Li Jing is still a little unwilling, if it was called flat push when he fought Tubo before, then if he was equipped with a large number of muskets to fight Tubo again, it would be called crushing, and he didn't even need to push it.

In general, Li Jing still felt that muskets were a good thing, and once they equipped the troops, then the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army would be increased by a level.

As for the relatively short range, under the cover of a large number of bows and arrows and bomberloaders, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage at all.

"It is impossible to achieve results without a year or two from the delivery of new equipment to the complete formation of combat effectiveness in the troops, and after a year or two, who knows whether the new musket will make progress? If the new musket has a breakthrough at that time, then the troops will have to be reloaded, so that if they toss twice, at least in five years, the army will not have any combat effectiveness, and if the soldiers are accustomed to this kind of musket, in a new way, the body will always have a sense of dependence on this musket, if there is any problem on the battlefield, it will always subconsciously deal with this musket. Li Yuanji said.

It's not that he hasn't thought about changing clothes, but because he really doesn't like this kind of firing gun, he didn't order it to be made with all his might.

"This kind of musket is only used to assist in training, so that the soldiers who come here for training know that Datang still has this kind of weapon, so that when they change their outfits one day in the future, even they don't know how to use this equipment."

One change of outfit, no combat effectiveness in two years, this is the most conservative estimate.

And the premise is that these officers know the musket in advance, know how to use the musket, and know how to train the soldiers under them.

Only in this way will it be possible to form combat effectiveness within two years, and if they do not understand thoroughly enough, or if they take the wrong path, then two years will not be enough, and it will be considered good if they can form combat effectiveness within five years.

At this time, Li Jing finally understood the reason why the musket would still appear here when Li Yuanji was not optimistic.

Indeed, as Li Yuanji said, we should first carry out small-scale promotion, so that these officers can understand and skillfully apply it, and when they are equipped in the future, they will not all be blinded.

Although I am not optimistic, and the future model may not be the current one, but it is always a firearm, and there are always some similarities, which can be regarded as a way to prepare for the last rain.

Since Li Yuanji had already said so, Li Jing naturally would not have any more doubts.

Besides, now around Datang, there is indeed nothing that can be called a strong enemy, and the Tubo that is the most headache for Datang is gone, the Western Turks? Let's not talk about the distance issue, even if you give him a few guts, the Western Turks will not dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty.

Do you really think that the Tang Dynasty can destroy the Eastern and Turkic Turks, Tibet, and unify the countries of the Western Regions in just a few years?

Of course, I don't know what others think.

But those craftsmen who have always been looked down upon before, now in the eyes of some high-level generals, they are absolute treasures.

Everyone knows that the fundamental reason for the smooth progress of the war over the years is that the new equipment built and transformed by these craftsmen has played a huge role on the battlefield.

But that's all things that some high-level people know, and they haven't been revealed to the outside world.

But the status of artisans has also changed somewhat over the years, at least, there are very few cases of discrimination against artisans.

On the stage, Li Yuanji continued to talk about some of his ideas and arrangements for the military academy.

Li Jing kept nodding his head, and at the same time, he was very satisfied with Li Yuanji's arrangement.

Things are not arranged tightly, leaving a lot of room for me to play, and there is enough time to do something else, but the cultural aspect is a headache, and almost half of the time arranged by Li Yuanji is learning to read and write.

Li Jing was thinking, thinking about what he should do next?

But the soldiers below were numb in their scalps.

Especially looking at the wooden board in front of me, I don't even dare to imagine what it would be like if I were that plank?

Mingguang armor?

Forget it, any armor has no effect at this time, even if it prevents the body, it can't block the hands and feet, and it can't block the head.

Even the wooden board can penetrate, and if you wrap yourself directly with an iron sheet, you may be able to block it, but the problem is, what about your flexibility if you do that? Is it possible to wear iron sheets to the battlefield and let people cut them?

The appearance of muskets, for these cadet officers, was not just a display of a new weapon.

Even if it is a display, it is impossible to pull it out at this time, and it feels like it is dismounting.

Of course, all the cadets are commanders, regardless of rank, large and small, they can be regarded as serious commanders.

And the habits that the Tang army has developed over the years have prompted them to think in their minds, if they lead the soldiers to attack, what should they do in such a situation?

pondered and meditated one by one, but in the end, they still didn't come up with a plan that could be used.

Of course, they are not the kind of people who specialize in using their brains to record and join the army, and this aspect itself is not their specialty, in fact, so far, none of these people have been able to come up with an effective plan to crack the current formation of the Tang Army.

And this new equipment, which obviously strengthens the firepower at close range, seems to be a bit too bullying for them.

But......

Why should you think about a question that you can't understand?

Anyway, you just need to know that this new equipment is for them, and it is the enemy who will have a headache in the future, not yourself, even if the other party has this kind of equipment, you only need to pull the rocket artillery to get a few rounds to solve it perfectly, and you don't need a headache at all.

However, there are also many people who are secretly worried that the equipment of the Tang Army and the combat methods have changed too quickly, and some people have begun to worry about whether they can keep up with the pace of the Tang Army, and those who can get to this point today do not want to see themselves eliminated.
