The Yan army's surprise attack with a certain strategic level that evolved from a tactical level caused a lot of confusion to the Qi State. The defense line of the Qi army tended to the edge of Benkuai. Many places were broken through by the Yan army, plus their weapons were backward. There is no way to compete with the Yan army from the front. They could only take advantage of nightfall to launch a sneak attack and enter the Yan army camp. But the barbed wire fence of the Yan army made this sneak attack useless.

The Qi army's sneak attack began to turn into a small-scale ambush, and only in this way could they stop the Yan army's advance. The total strength of the Yan army was only 40,000. But their equipment has far surpassed that of the Qi army. The Qi army was outnumbered and had the advantage of local defense, but they could not resist the difference in weapons. Especially artillery. This weapon is too sharp. The Qi army was very passive.

But very strangely. Even if Yan and Qin signed a peace treaty. However, the Qin State still smuggled large quantities of weapons to the warring parties. And this is not even opposed by all parties. Especially the country of Qi. The state of Qi relied on the profits of fish and salt to buy muskets on a large scale. For artillery. They couldn't buy one. The demand for artillery began to stimulate some daring people to sell artillery to each other. The price of artillery is simply too attractive. A cannon is as high as 600 gold. The high price is outrageous.

After Tian Heng saw the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, he believed that the cavalry would be the biggest threat to the Qi army. So, he aimed for a defensive weapon that was cheap and could be made himself, barbed wire. In addition to buying a large number of barbed wire fences made by the Qin State. He also ordered to make his own. He decided to use this secret weapon to deliver a fatal blow to the opposing cavalry.

The use of barbed wire was mentioned in the newspapers of the Qin State. When the Qin army arranged its defensive positions, a large number of barbed wire fences were arranged. Not only defense, but also when attacking to block the road. Barbed wire has unimaginable benefits. It is precisely this benefit that allows the Qin army to manufacture in large quantities. But this kind of thing is not recognized in the six countries. Because, this thing is cheap to build, and it is very prickly. The mode of fighting the war among the six countries is still the way of thinking of conducting formation operations in the past. on the use of barbed wire. It's hard for them to accept. Even when buying arms, the arms dealers give them away. They don't want either. But now, Tian Heng wants to make a large number of acquisitions. And a large number of barbed wire positions have already begun to be deployed on the spot. This will be a disaster for the Yan army in the future. Moreover, the mode of war dragged both the attacker and the defender into a quagmire.

And on the other side. The state of Qin is holding a large-scale military exercise. The exercise was part of the National Defense Education Day. Participation is open to all. People took out their muskets. Those who had horses rode horses, and those who did not have horses were organized into combat units according to their household registration units. They will make a temporary cameo in the role of infantryman.

The winter sun was warm at noon. The exercise went very smoothly. Unable to do so, it is a group shooting. Too military addiction. A lot of them haven't fought for a long time. They have always been engaged in industrial production.

The King of Qin also came to participate, as a way to show the continuation of the martial spirit of the Qin State. The exercises took place on the outskirts of Xianyang. Tens of thousands of people poured out of the city for large-scale exercises. They are dressed neatly and cleanly. Since it is the New Year, everyone is new clothes and new shoes. It seems to be very energetic. But King Qin was a little displeased. Because, judging by their mental outlook. They lacked a murderous aura. Instead, there is a sense of strangeness on the battlefield and that excitement of being on the battlefield for the first time.

King Qin agreed with Shang Wen. The Qin state had to hold a series of activities to maintain the martial spirit of the Qin state. If this continues for a long time, the martial spirit of the Qin State will no longer exist.

After the exercise, there were some military shooting competitions. This is a contest between the military and the people. The Qin army has now been reloaded with another powerful musket on a large scale. Rifled guns. Use minch bullets and conical bullets. The range is absolutely lethal at seventy paces. There are still a certain number of old smoothbore guns in the civilian population. The main thing is that they do not have combat-ready tasks. There is no need to buy a powerful musket.

The musket industry in the Qin State was constantly developing. For example, revolvers appeared. And a special model is customized for it. What Yingyu was holding was a Li's Type 1 revolver rifled gun. Caliber point five zero. It's powerful. In addition, there are Type II, and Type III. They improved the reloader, and the disposable reloader, respectively. Because, this gun is loved by a lot of armed people. Especially his burst function. Just flick the hammer continuously and pull the trigger. Shoot like a six-barreled Vulcan. But there are problems. It's just that loading bullets is very troublesome. To this end, Lee's Ordnance Company. The new name of the Li Arsenal after the reorganization and listing. Yingyu owns 60 percent of the shares of the weapons company. They developed a six- and seven-round circle loaded with a fixed single chain. This solves the problem of reloading.

In the rifle business, the rifles of the Qin State were divided into muskets for the first time. Division of smoothbore and rifled guns. Smoothbore guns are mainly shotguns. The caliber of this gun is very large. It has reached a point of 70 calibers or more. (The size of the Qin State is relatively small, he is different from inches) Scatter bomb is made of hard wax paper. In the middle there are seven to twenty small iron beads of different sizes. Shotguns also vary in length. But for those armed men. They love the short-barreled shotgun. Or they transform themselves. For example, they would buy a shotgun. It was then handed over to some workshops to sawn off a certain length of barrel. For this purpose, in the newly created states, there were a large number of such weapons workshops. They started by sawing off the barrel. Then there is the repair of firearms. This is because shotguns are usually leveraged or folded locking. They are all rear-loading guns that require a certain principle of firearms. These workshops began to offer such services.

At the same time, when they repaired guns, they also began to make some guns. This is the biggest addition to civilian rear-loading guns. And they compete effectively with the big manufacturers. This was an important period when the guns were turning point. Although, front-loading guns are mainstream. But some reloader guns appeared. In particular, some strange-shaped locking mechanisms appeared. Let the reloader come to the stage of history. Firearms will replace muskets as the dominant weapons of the new era. Sports competitions have accelerated the process in this regard.

And this time the competition will have a new type of locking mechanism and a new type of gunpowder to speed up the development of firearms. It was time to change the guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Qin State.
