Exercise.

The spears and bows and arrows representing the era of cold weapons, and the muskets and muskets representing the era of hot weapons are blended together, and it is difficult for people to say that this is a study of what era and nature.

Due to the longer production time of artillery than the flintlock pistol, the large quantity, and the relatively simple production process, the artillery also accounted for thirty percent of the cases in the archers and spear armies, and it was obvious that only by making good use of the advantages of firearms was enough to overwhelm the opponent.

Different from Western land warfare, the flintlock pistol used by the Song people at this time was a double-barrel structure, and the firepower of Westerners in later generations was twice as strong; Inspired by the Lotte three-stage flintlock pistol, the artillery also practiced three-stage firing, so that the artillery could adjust its range to the speed of the opponent's infantry attack.

The combination of muskets and artillery can be said to have the rudiments of modern warfare in later generations, but don't think that with flintlock pistols and artillery, you can be invincible in the world, although flintlock pistols and artillery have the technology ahead of this era, there is still a considerable distance from the perfection of later generations, and there is no guarantee that with its technological superiority, it can achieve enough advantages against the enemy in this era, and can achieve complete victory.

The appearance of firearms only means a change in the situation of the war, and does not mean that the cavalry will disappear. Facts have also proved that from the 14th century to the late 19th century, and even to the beginning of the 20th century, cavalry still has an important position in the history of world warfare, and it has written its heavy and brilliant stroke.

In the era of flintlock pistols and smoothbore guns, cavalry relied on neat formations and powerful impact power, and played an irreplaceable role on the battlefield. It has nothing to do with whether it is flint or not, whether it is three stages or not. The reloading speed, accuracy, and most importantly range of the Bijing flintlock pistol are very problematic, and the cavalry takes advantage of the sparseness and gap in the firepower to have enough time to rush in front of you and fight with the bayonets of the broadsword, spear, and flintlock pistol.

Later generations recognized that the precursor to the real decline of cavalry was the Crimean War between Tsarist Russia and Europe for the Balkans in the nineteenth century, in the war between the Turkish, British, French and the Kingdom of Sardinia, the allies used a rifled front-loading rapid-fire gun, compared with the old flintlock musket as the representative of the smoothbore gun, this rifle has a great improvement in the rate of fire, accuracy and range, and the infantry firepower has been increased to an extent that is difficult for cavalry to surpass.

However, in the subsequent wars, although the cavalry could not attack the enemy's position head-on like their predecessors, it still played a role in chasing the enemy and harassing them. What really threw cavalry into the dustbin of history was the large-scale deployment of tanks into warfare after World War I. Mechanized units have pursued cavalry not only in tactical maneuvering, but also in firepower, protection, and strategic mobility.

To put it clearly, if you really want to stop the nomadic tribes and dare not invade the hinterland of China again, Lotte summed up that the only trump card that can be used is to realize mechanization and use armored troops to face the cavalry of the nomads.

As for the gasoline locomotive, the technology used is more complex than the steam engine, although in the Northern Song Dynasty this era, Shaanxi and other real estate have oil commonly known as "hot oil", but the output is very small, due to the limitation of oil production technology, the output is also very limited, and even often appear when the oil is not produced when the oil is not in the state, especially the distillation technology of extracting gasoline and diesel from oil, it is difficult to do it in this era for a while.

However, Lotte is not pessimistic, relying on the firepower advantage of artillery and muskets, and with the help of laying thistles in front of the position, horse rejection stakes, tripping horses and the like, in addition to digging trenches and weaving some wires, it is not too much of a problem to win the attack of the Golden Cavalry.

In later generations, it was said that wars were fought with logistics and supplies. Supply and logistics were the keys to victory in the war.

In the feudal era, when fighting a war, there was a soldier in the front to fight on the battlefield, and at least two or three people in the rear to transport grain, grass, weapons and supplies for logistics. Due to the limitations of the industrial level, in ancient times, the number of troops used to fight a war was a number, and the number of laborers requisitioned by the people was often several times of this number.

After staying on Shengsi Island for three days, reviewing and inspecting the soldiers' drills, Lotte returned to Hangzhou.

Therefore, Lotte did his best to do the things arranged, and even according to the profit-seeking nature of the businessmen, he also wanted to make a lot of war money, and tried his best to mobilize the financial resources to buy grain and grass in Jiangning, Runzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Come, early summer, ...... Call Daddy! ”

staring intently and tightly at Lotte, the look of the child's eyes was mixed with fear, surprise, excitement and a little shyness, and after hesitating, he finally opened his mouth shyly: "Daddy......"

The little guy with stubble was a little painful, but he still endured the pain and rubbed it on Lotte's face, and stared at Lotte with great kindness and surprise, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Daddy, can you go out with me?" ”

The little guy shouted excitedly: "I want to let the iron egg, stinky ball, and Hong Liuzi on the opposite side of our house take a look at my father, my father came to see me, my father is handsome, and he is also tall, their father is effective, he can protect my mother and me, I don't want them to scold me for being a child without a father......"

With a long sigh, Lotte with the child in his arms took a step forward, patted the little woman on the shoulder, and said, "Begonia, you've worked hard in the past few years, I'm alone with the little guy, and I'm not around when I'm in labor!" ”

After calming down a little, the beautiful little woman wiped away her tears before turning her head and saying, "Don't call the concubine's old stage name, the concubine's name is Zhen Yan." ”

The tears were wiped away from his eyes, and Drunken Begonia said to his son: "Daddy is tired, are you okay to come down, let Daddy rest for a while?" ”

The child's words, listening to the happy good deeds, sadness, tears slipped from the face of the drunken begonia again.

Lotte thought for a while and said: "My Lejia is named after the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, this child has a single name, and I will give it a name, called Xiaotian, how about calling it Le Shuo Le Xiaotian?" ”
