"Aim for the official over there." A man in tattered costume with a face covered in mud was lying behind a tree. Take aim with a musket.

A small group of Yan troops escorted supplies through the road. They spread out in the form of an army. There was no preparedness for a sneak attack.

"Bang". A gunshot rang out. The leading officer was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. Casualties unknown.

"Bang, bang." Then a series of gunshots rang out. The shape of the Yan army suddenly became chaotic. Everyone began to look for concealment. Those who have a bit of guts shoot around. But they just ran out of bullets from their guns to fill the fear in their hearts.

"Let's go. Come on. At this time, some people began to quietly leave from behind the trees.

This scene is often staged in the "occupied area" of Qi State. With a massive influx of muskets. Gunpowder weapons began to replace traditional cold weapons. Gunpowder weapons began to pull away in power, distance. This guerrilla warfare provided a lot of room for survival.

The fighting on the front line has entered a stalemate. Neither side has the ability to take it any further. In particular, the beginning of trench warfare. Leave neither side capable of attacking the other.

There is another important reason. That is, the gap between the weapons of the two sides has narrowed. Qin's "surplus materials" began to flow into the Six Kingdoms in large quantities. Millions of muskets of various calibers were manufactured in the Qin state, as well as thousands of old artillery pieces of various types. Even the old revolter gun has become an antique. The new weapons of the Qin State were widely popularized. Mass production of the rotary pull-back firing pin rifle began. Because of the war. There is no large-scale equipment in the Western Regions. And the northern army was massively redressed. This point 35 caliber rifle was officially named the Qinyi rifle. This is a standard rifle. Point 35 became the standard caliber. This gun massively increased the rate of fire. But a large number of old rifles retreated.

The use of the Qin-Yi rifle and the termination of the program to modify the rifle. The state of Qin stopped the program of rebuilding the trap rifle. The reason is that it is far cheaper to build a new rifle than to modify one.

Some parts of the new rifle were stamped. Whereas, older rifles require some hand-cutting techniques. There is a big gap between the two. There is also a big gap in the use of gunpowder. The propellant began to use a two-base charge. The Flare Cap also uses a new flask. Some of the older rifles had to be loaded with their own propellants. Or fiery. Either that or that is to use gunpowder to set ammunition.

In short, these vintage rifles became history. The rifles were originally planned to be returned to the factory for destruction. But it would be a waste to do so. The cost of recovery. Shipping costs. There is also decomposition before returning to the furnace. The butt and handguard are made of the finest mahogany. Barrel recycling can smelt steel. Then the butt handguard can only burn fire. It's a waste.

Zhao's arms dealers saw a business opportunity. They went on a grand purchase of weapons from the Qin State Weapons Recycling Depot. Even bullets are purchased at a high price for whole boxes. Then he sold it to the war-prone Qi State and the Chu State with weapons and equipment. Wei. Smuggling arms is black income. The local state tax department also turned a blind eye. Because if they want to increase their local income, they must have projects that can survive. Smuggling of arms. Become a pillar industry. A large number of vintage rifles began to be resold in bulk. From front-loading rifled guns to trap rifles, mass introductory entry began into these countries.

Guns are the only products manufactured in the Qin State and South Korea that have been in high demand for a long time.

With the muskets of the Qin State, there was a massive influx of rifles. It greatly meets the weapons needs of the above countries. This suppressed the development of muskets in these countries. And not just muskets, rifles. There was also a number of artillery pieces that also entered these countries. With the increase in number. The price of these guns also tends to be reasonable.

Under such influence. The state of Qi where weapons are satisfied. Turned his attention to the "occupied zone" there. They began to issue weapons. Give a certain amount of money. Write blank checks for land.

Tian Zhan wantonly collected a group of dead soldiers, and the swordsmen entered the rear to organize guerrillas. The musket is simple to operate. The trap rifle is even more hit-and-run. This tactic of harassment began to emerge in the Yan-occupied areas.

And the weapons and equipment of the Yan army at this time have lagged behind the opponent. They didn't have a single trap rifle. None of the ammunition is fixed. Even logistical supplies. It was also sold to the other party at a low price near the expiration date in the warehouse of the Qin State. Even expired food is bought in large quantities.

These food supplies are wiped off the production date in advance. Some have clearly decayed. But that's the kind of stuff it is. Yanwang thinks it is a very reasonable purchase. And then transported to the front.

To do so was to save a lot of money from military spending to build large palaces. A palace made of concrete could easily be built as high as five stories. And the construction period is greatly shortened. In order to meet the requirements of robustness. A seismic cement was invented. This cement has an autonomous repair function. This cement first appeared in Hagia Sophia in later history.

King Yan didn't care about money at all for his pleasures. And he is extremely detached to his own army. More and more soldiers are dying from diarrhea on the front line. Morale is unmanageably low.

The emergence of partisans is accelerating this collapse of morale. And it was the Qin State that maintained this morale for a short time. The state of Qin provided support to the air forces in the name of aid. Supplies, medical care. There is a price to be paid for this. Qin exchanged the remaining chemical bottles. This support temporarily relieved the accelerated demoralization of the partisans.

The war continues. The appearance of the guerrillas made the Yan army very anxious. The lack of supplies and the constant harassment of the guerrillas. made Yan Jun make an irrational move. All they had to do was find out that someone in a village had attacked the Yan army. The whole village will be surrounded at once. Threats in the name of killing everyone. In fact, it did happen.

Nanli Village was attacked by the Yan army. Slaughtered. All 30 families in the village were killed. The women were insulted and killed. This incident was reported by a reporter from the Qin State. Yan Guo took into account the assistance of Qin State and executed the person concerned. But the impact continues to ferment.

The occurrence of the Nanli incident provoked the rebellion of Qi Min. In particular, the backbone of the guerrillas who took advantage of the incident. Their ranks began to expand.

More and more attacks are happening. The rear is becoming more and more unstable. But they couldn't do anything. Because Qin reporters use their cameras to take pictures all the time. Even the night doesn't stop. They don't know where the news came from. More sensitive than a dog. As everyone knows. Qin's domestic military was also seriously constrained by the pressure of public opinion. What's more, it's you Yan Kingdom. Yan Jun had his share of being beaten.
