461 Lingshou engaged
I saw the way the people seemed to understand but didn't understand. Shang Wen was helpless. Shang Wen then showed the pressure cooker to the public. And explain the reason for this. This attracted the attention of all women.
Women are not very interested in this kind of scientific stuff, but if they want to see something related to cooking, they are still happy to do so. Now the experiment has seen that the effect of pressure cooker soup is so good all of a sudden, and many women are willing to pay for it on the spot to give it a try. Only this one. Shang Wen used it for experiments. However, Shang Wen immediately said. Soon, this thing will be available on the market.
It's too simple to produce this thing. The molds are all in the arsenal. King Qin was also interested in Shangwen's hemisphere. And Yingyu sees Shang Wen showing the pressure cooker in the middle of a large group of women. The fist couldn't help but rattle. "This nerd is looking for a fight." Yingyu gritted her teeth and said.
The test was covered in the newspapers. A lot of people also learn about this from the newspapers. However, ordinary people are simply talking about it, like a weather forecast. There are reports in the newspapers every day, but there are also times when there are inaccuracies. At this time, it has become a topic of conversation in people's leisure time.
But for those who are exploring the mysteries of air pressure, or conducting experiments, this is a boon. Especially reports about pressure cookers. This has led some people to find inspiration. Researchers are starting to make containers more tightly sealed. In order to do compression and decompression experiments. And stress testing began to become a means of experimenting with obtaining new materials.
A new phase of experimentation was beginning in the Qin state. And the state of Zhao is resisting the attack of the state of Yan.
A mixed Yan army brigade of 7,000 men drove the Zhao army into the territory of Zhongshan in the Zhao state. The geographical location of Zhongshan is extremely important. Once Yan Jun gained a firm foothold, it would be like hanging a sharp sword over Handan's head. The sword could be swung at any moment.
When Li Mu got the news. Immediately transfer troops from Jingcheng Pass to block it.
"Report." A scout Pegasus reported.
"General, the Yan army has already arrived at Lingshou City." The scout arched his hand.
"Yan Jun is moving so fast." Li Mu said with some surprise.
"Herald. The army marched quickly and rushed to the foot of Lingshou City before dark. Li Mu ordered.
"Whoa." The generals replied.
As it was almost dusk at this time. The Yan army was anxious to take Lingshou City and enter the city for the night. But the arrival of Li Mu's army. So that the Yan army had to give up the siege. Instead, they were stationed outside the city. In order to prevent a sneak attack by the Zhao army, they laid a large amount of barbed wire outside the camp. The Yan army sent a large number of sentry posts to guard it.
And Li Mu didn't plan to sneak attack the other party. He knew how powerful the barbed wire was, and the newspapers had reported a lot on the process of the Qin army. Application of barbed wire. Li Mu is very clear. The two armies were safe all night, but Li Mu did not sleep all night. He was looking for a completely new tactic to defeat the Yan army head-on.
Zhao Jun's hiring of prisoners as instructors also had some effect, first of all, the musketeers knew how to maintain their guns. At the same time, they also understood that muskets had a greater lethal effect only within fifty paces. There is only one chance to shoot. Be sure to shoot at this distance. So it's very important to maintain an iron-like formation.
The next morning. The fog had just lifted. The two armies each sent their own large armies to fight.
The Yan army numbered seven thousand. They had two infantry regiments, an artillery battalion plus an artillery battery. Fifteen hundred cavalry. The combat effectiveness is very strong.
The Zhao army had 20,000 men. More than fifteen thousand infantry. Among them were three thousand musketeers. The rest are all cold weapons. Two thousand cavalry, a thousand archers. and Li Mu's personal guard of more than 2,000 people and twelve artillery pieces.
The Zhao army has an absolute superiority in numbers, but the Yan army has an advantage in equipment, and they are all equipped with muskets. Li Mu decided to attack first. Because their own artillery does not have an advantage, they can only fire at will, and they can't hit accurately. The Zhao army was unable to capture the opposing artillery officers.
First of all, Li Mu asked the infantry to be in a team of 200 people. Fifty paces apart, forming a formation with a long depth to advance. The artillery began to fire rapidly to provide cover for it, and Li Mu called Sima Shang. Let him lead 500 cavalry around the entire battlefield to the rear of the Yan army to attack the opponent's artillery position.
The Yan army pulled off their standard tactics and began to defend.
Li Mu's front row was three thousand musketeers. Then there are a large number of soldiers with cold weapons. The number ranged from 2,000. They were followed by five hundred archers. Li Mu did not have the power to be possessed. But to go and use all the elite. Three thousand musketeers. They only have an average of three rounds per person.
The Yan artillery also began to fire rapidly. The two armies were separated by more than a thousand paces. When the Zhao army took the initiative to attack, it had to bear a large number of artillery casualties.
"The other party's main general turned out to be Li Mu. Is he crazy. The brigadier general and brigade commander who commanded the Yan army said to himself. No one could attack the Yan army from the front, unless it was a Qin army with the same equipment. Otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the Yan army.
"Artillery rapid-fire." The brigadier general gave the order.
"Bang." "Bang." An artillery battalion began to fire rapidly. The cannonballs landed accurately in the ranks of the Zhao army with cold weapons. A cannonball, many people of Zhao Jun fell.
At this time, the Zhao army was being redeployed, and Li Mu ordered two thousand sword and axe men to march forward five hundred steps in a straggler. This is the reserve of the Zhao army.
The infantry formation of the Yan army remained unchanged. Because the opponent's even sent the same formation towards them. And it turned out not to collapse under artillery bombardment. The two armies continued to close the distance.
Li Mu solemnly took the binoculars to check the situation. He needs to wait for the other party to show his killer move. Cavalry. This is the most threatening force in the hands of the Yan army.
The two armies entered a distance of two hundred paces. The losses of the Zhao army's musketeers were not very large. But the ranks behind them were crushed. But they still put it together. This time. The archers crossed the ranks of cold weapons and began to walk behind the musketeers.
The brigadier general waved. One of the adjutants nodded. The "March of the Grenadiers" began to sound. The Yan musketeers began to put their guns on their shoulders. Lined up. Officers shuttled back and forth to boost morale. They shouted in rude language.
"Zhao Jun's gang of bitches raised them are here again. They estimated that they did not die enough. All right. Brothers. Today, let's teach them a good lesson with muskets and bayonets in our hands. The officer waved his arms and shouted.
And their soldiers looked solemnly ahead. They waited for orders. Wait for the command to move forward.
"Forward." The officer finally gave the order.
The tin drum is beating. The soldiers marched in unison at the orders of the officers, and the groups of Yan musketeers began to advance.
