Chapter 20 Transactions
"Hehe, I naturally have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the past few days, the military weapons supervisor has distributed thunderbolts made of new gunpowder formulas, and such military funds in the forward battalion are generally received separately, but it is a pity that you Meng Da is busy with military affairs and has not come forward, and the ordnance supervisor has been busy recently, and he does not want to backlog a little inventory, so he let me get it back. The power of this new formula of thunderbolt is really not comparable to the original, and the combat power of the striker battalion will inevitably increase greatly if he obtains this sharp weapon, and the soldiers are extremely happy. It's the right battalion's thunderbolts that have always been stored in my left battalion library, and I can see that I'm really itching, and I don't dare to be greedy for ink, Captain Meng, you have always looked like you're ignoring, I'm just here to ask, do you still want this batch of thunderbolts? Cao Zilin said straight to the point.
Thunderbolt is the thunderbolt in Wei Long's mouth, it is the famous work of the ordnance supervisor, and Zhao Qing's grenade that appeared later in the world is very similar, just pull out the lead, it can explode in a few seconds, the power is amazing, because they are all thrown and used, so it is also called thunderbolt in the army, it is one of the most important conventional weapons of the Border Forbidden Army, and the fierce combat power of the Border Forbidden Army has a lot to do with this Thunderbolt.
Hearing Cao Zilin's words, how could Meng Heng stay calm anymore, he was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Yes, of course!" You slippery head don't want to hit Lao Tzu's right camp, send it to me quickly! ”
A few days ago, the Border Forbidden Army withdrew from Ningjiang Prefecture, and the right battalion was originally within the withdrawal plan, but at the last moment, it was ordered to retreat for fear of damaging the integrity of the forward battalion and causing damage to its combat strength. The procedures in the army are not as vigorous and resolute as the style of the army, and a large number of mercenaries intervened in the city defense of Ningjiang Prefecture, so it was originally just a simple evacuation and back, but such a messy rule in this city made things very complicated, and the allocation of the right battalion camp and the garrison regulations kept Meng Heng busy for several days, and he didn't even have time to go to the weapons allocation meeting of the ordnance supervisor.
At that time, the statement of the ordnance supervisor was just that there was a slight problem with the previous batch of thunderbolts, and they needed to be withdrawn and replaced with new ones, Meng Heng felt that the guys of these weapons supervisors were idle, so he didn't bother to deal with it, who knew that this was not the case when he heard Cao Zilin say that this was not the case, this new thunderbolt was actually a more powerful thunderbolt with a new formula, which was related to the combat strength of the army, and Meng Heng became anxious all of a sudden.
"Humph! My Zuo Ying kindly received the new thunderbolt for you, and helped keep it for so many days, and you didn't say a word of thanks and scolded me for slippery? Cao Zilin heard Meng Heng so unpolite, and immediately pulled his face, and said, "Besides, this new thunderbolt was exchanged for the old thunderbolt thrown to the ordnance supervisor, and now the ordnance superintendent has stopped recycling the old thunderbolt, your right battalion wants to be such an empty glove white wolf, the old thunderbolt can't be handed over, and you want the new thunderbolt, this is too ugly." Later in the day, mockery came out.
Meng Heng has been in the military for many years, and after a few turns of his eyes, he understood Cao Zilin's words, and couldn't help but sneer. If Meng Hui had not asked for it, how could this Cao Zilin come to the right camp to personally offer the truth. But this matter can't be hidden from Meng Hui for too long, as soon as the war starts, the soldiers of the right battalion will definitely soon find out about this new thunderbolt, and when the time comes, Meng Heng will poke this matter upward, and Cao Zilin, who is greedy for a while, will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so it is better to take the initiative to send it to seek some benefits, such as those old thunderbolts that have not been recovered by the ordnance superintendent.
Although the power of the old thunderbolt is far less than that of the new thunderbolt, the soldiers are more familiar with it, and some are better than nothing.
Thinking of this, Meng Hui also calmed down, with an old fox-like smile on his face, and said, "Brother Zilin, Meng was really busy a few days ago and couldn't get out, it was really troublesome for Brother Zilin to take care of it." The left and right battalions are really one, so I didn't bother the brothers of the left battalion to send the batch of thunderbolts over, and asked Brother Zilin to lead me there, and we transported them back by ourselves. Meng Heng's tone was much more polite, but he didn't say a word about the old thunderbolts.
Cao Zilin saw that Meng Heng was so difficult to get along with, sighed and shook his head a few times, and then said: "I'm going to get straight to the point and not beat around the corner, this batch of new thunderbolts was originally going to be exchanged for two for one with the old thunderbolts, although I took the left battalion for the right battalion, but it was also one for one." Now that the Ordnance Supervisor no longer collects the old Thunderbolts, it is impossible for your right battalion to get this new Thunderbolt from me without paying the price, and to be direct, three old ones are exchanged for two new Thunderbolts, after all, it has also cost manpower and material resources to keep this batch of new Thunderbolts left battalion, and you can't let the soldiers of my left battalion work in vain. ”
"One for one, I can't help but give you another twenty roaring juniors, which can be regarded as paying the storage fee." Meng Heng did not retreat, and people in the army were the most sensitive to this kind of military resources.
"Hehe, two for one, I'll give you twenty roaring juniors. Meng Hui, don't bargain anymore, it's a big deal to stab this matter to Yang Duwei, you see how Yang Duwei handles it! Cao Zilin took a vicious spit, today he is sure of this benefit.
Zhao Qing listened silently on the side, and also heard that the famous hall in the middle was coming. In this small arms deal, the most advanced roaring junior general of the Ordnance Supervisor actually became an additive, and I don't know what Wei Long thought when he heard it. In the minds of the forbidden army, especially in the minds of the generals, this roaring young general has too many flaws and too many limitations, and he can often only open the battle after the bows and arrows of both sides are shot, and then take out the roaring junior to make up for a round of firepower suppression, and then the whole battle will no longer use this kind of loading trouble, low hit thing, so its strategic significance is far less than the thunderbolt, even if it is the old thunderbolt, it is far more popular than the roaring youngster.
But Zhao Qing had some different ideas, although he was the one who looked down on the roaring junior general the most, and the forbidden army soldiers only disliked the roaring junior general's chicken ribs, but Zhao Qing was the one who named and said that the roaring junior general was rubbish in front of the big guys in Liaodong and the weapons superintendent. But as the saying goes, war is not only about weapons, but also about people. He felt that the roaring young general was garbage because he had a high vision and had seen too many advanced weapons in later generations, and the roaring young general was obviously still at the forefront in this era, and it was not without reason that he could become the pride of the weapons superintendent, and he failed to exert his might in the war, just because the concept of hot weapons war was not mature for those who took weapons, and they did not use this weapon correctly.
In this era when cold weapons are still the mainstay, the confrontation between the two armies means that each side gathers a large number of people, and then rushes together in a disciplined manner, and this form of combat in which a large number of people gather in a small area to fight each other is simply unimaginable in the aftermath of a hot weapons war, and a single missile can blow all of these into ashes. If you can guide it correctly, form a musket team, keep a certain distance from the enemy in the frontal battlefield, and have cover, a musket team that can continuously provide fire will definitely be able to exert incredible energy, and any flesh and blood charge will be vulnerable under this kind of firepower.
Imagining the scene of this musket team crisscrossing Liaodong, Zhao Qing couldn't help but breathe heavily, and he found that he now had very good conditions to be able to form such a cross-era army.
"Captain Cao, how many roaring generals are there in your left battalion?" Just when Cao Zilin and Meng Heng were bargaining, Zhao Qing interjected.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, now in the forward battalion, although Zhao Qingguan is the largest, but the power is still in the hands of the two of them, but they don't dare to ignore this Guigu heir, especially Cao Zilin, he knows the status of this young man very well.
"There are a total of two hundred and eighteen roaring young generals in the left battalion." Cao Zilin gave the answer after a little calculation.
"Then can my right battalion exchange the old thunderbolt for this roaring youngster, and all the old thunderbolts for all the roaring youngsters in your left battalion? As for the new Perak, it would be better to return it all. Zhao Qing crossed Meng Hui and asked directly to Cao Zilin tentatively.
Cao Zilin and Meng Heng were both surprised, but soon, Cao Zilin's face showed surprise, and Meng Heng's face became a little dark. In their minds, this roaring young general is really a chicken rib, and there is no comparison with a powerful weapon like Thunderbolt, and they directly ignore the difference in cost between the two, thinking that this deal is really a loss.
"Of course it's good, it can be traded now, with such a big hand, Zhao Gongzi really has courage." Cao Zilin hurriedly spoke, for fear that Zhao Qing would change his mind.
Meng Hui frowned, and hurriedly interjected: "Slow! Captain Zhao, you are in and out of the forbidden army, you don't know a lot about military affairs, don't be calculated! He was now full of anger, if it weren't for Cao Zilin being here, Zhao Qing was now his nominal boss, he would have wanted to scold Zhao Qing a long time ago.
"Captain Meng, don't be impatient, I have my own calculations." Zhao patted Meng Heng's shoulder and gave him a look, which finally made Meng Heng restrain his anger, only whispered a sentence to explain to him for a while, and then brushed his sleeves away.
"Brother Cao, then let's trade now, and I also want all the ammunition and gunpowder of the roaring young general." Zhao Qing said.
"That's right, I'll have someone bring it to you in a moment, and you go and get all the old Thunderbolts ready, and barter them in an hour!" Cao Zilin smiled a little happily, and felt that he had taken advantage of his old friend, so he didn't like to go, patted Zhao Qing's shoulder, and left happily.
Zhao Qing gathered a few brigade commanders and gave orders, and soon, all the old thunderbolts of the right battalion of the forward battalion were collected in a centralized manner, and the conventional configuration can have three for one person, plus the reserves, there are a total of nearly two thousand thunderbolts, which are piled up into a two-person high thunderbolt pile in the square.
The forbidden soldiers were very happy when they heard that there was a new and more powerful thunderbolt drop, and several officers who knew the situation had different expressions, especially Meng Heng, whose face was about to come out of the water.
"Should Captain Zhao explain?" Meng Hui said in a low voice, his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan shape, obviously extremely angry.
"Then the old thunderbolt will be eliminated anyway, isn't it good to replace so many advanced roaring youngsters who should be used." Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes, although he planned to hug Meng Hui's thighs, but this did not mean that he needed to rely on Meng Hui in everything, Zhao Qing, who had a vision beyond the times, would certainly not sit back and watch the fire gun, a sharp weapon that will shine in the future, be buried.
"Humph! Although this roaring young general seems to be powerful, it is really chicken ribs on the actual battlefield, so what is the use of exchanging so much? Meng Heng didn't laugh angrily.
"It's really useful, Captain Meng doesn't have to be anxious, you can listen to me slowly." Zhao smiled slightly and said, "As we all know, firearm technology is transmitted from Guigu, although this firearm is a fresh firearm in the Great Zhou, it has already developed in Guigu. I watched that Captain Cao led dozens of horsemen to chase a spy that day, and there was a roaring junior general but he didn't dare to use it, so I roughly understood the embarrassment of this roaring junior general's status in the army, and it was not much worse than a chicken rib. Indeed, the firearm of the roaring young general has many shortcomings, slow reloading, poor crosshair, and too much movement, but as the most advanced firearm of the Great Zhou Military Weapons Supervisor, it is really useless? ”
Hearing Zhao Qing's very methodical analysis, Meng Heng's anger gradually subsided and calmed down, and he remembered the identity of Zhao Qing's Guigu Sect, which was personally confirmed by the Lord of Jiedu, and it couldn't be faked, and the firearms were indeed passed on from Guigu. Originally, he just thought that Zhao Qing was a young man, young and ignorant of war, and was deceived by the gorgeous appearance of the roaring young general, but now it seems that his understanding of firearms is far greater than his own. If he knew that the new gunpowder that had multiplied the power of the weapons prison was from this young captain, I really didn't know what Meng Heng should think.
"I wonder what the trick is?" Meng Heng humbly asked, and the other officers also turned their ears expectantly.
"I've just analyzed, in fact, the biggest problem of the roaring young general is the slow reload, poor crosshair, if I expect it to be correct, it is estimated that it will be used once in a battle, or the ammunition that was loaded in advance before the war." Zhao Qing wanted to pass a roaring young general and held it in front of his chest.
"Indeed." Meng Heng nodded.
"Then if I gather all the roaring youngsters, there are a total of two hundred and nine roaring youngsters in the right battalion of the forward, plus two hundred and eighteen from the left battalion, a total of four hundred and twenty-seven, even if I can't shoot at the same time, if there are a hundred that can shoot at the same time, how powerful is it?" Zhao Qing raised the roaring young general with one hand and made a firing shape.
"Of course, the power is powerful, in fact, the opportunity for our border forbidden army to charge into battle is often achieved by relying on these dozens of people who rushed to the forefront with roaring young generals." Meng Hui touched his nose and said, somewhat guessing Zhao Qing's intentions.
Yes, since there are only a few dozen Roaring Players at a time, why not gather all the Roaring Players together, and after launching the first wave, you can also take out the second one and continue to launch. Thinking of this, Meng Hui's eyes gradually lit up, this is definitely a new idea, even Chai Yi, who is proficient in firearms combat, has not thought of this for the time being, after all, this roaring young general has only been widely deployed in the army for just three months.
"Presumably Captain Meng has already guessed my thoughts, that's right, there are not many roaring young generals, so why should they be divided? Why not concentrate on a musket team of three people with several Roaring Youngsters, two of them taking turns firing, and one of them being responsible for reloading ammunition, so that with only 300 people, you can maintain a hundred Roaring Youngsters and continue to provide firepower! And with the remaining two hundred people shielding and covering, if the enemy wants to take down the right battalion of my striker, he will inevitably have to pay a painful price ten times greater! Zhao Qing said his thoughts loudly, looking at the brighter and brighter eyes of the soldiers, his tone was passionate and a little excited, this was the first time he had integrated into and even changed the world through his own attempts.
Hearing this, including Meng Hui, all the officers couldn't help but applaud, they used to distribute the roaring young generals to the hands of the soldiers, although the role they played in the battle was not small, but it was not enough to affect the battle situation, and the musket team tactics that Zhao Qing said subverted their concept of the use of firearms.
That's right, shouldn't firearms be used like this, even thunderbolts and artillery don't have such tactics, the thunderbolt team formed by Chai Yi gathered the god pitchers and thunderbolts in the forbidden army, and each person was equipped with more than ten thunderbolts, and in one round, even the most elite cavalry had to avoid its edge, and created a great reputation among Hu Yi. And artillery is even more so, whether it is besieging or defending the city, dozens of artillery salvos, the power is indestructible. Although the power of this roaring young general is not the same as that of artillery, it is better to be flexible, just imagine how terrifying it is to have a phalanx of artillery that can move.
"Captain Zhao really deserves to be a native of Guigumen, his vision is far from being comparable to me, it was Meng Mou's impulse before, please forgive me." Meng Hui deserved to be a famous general, and it was very convenient to admit his mistake, and saluted Zhao lightly, his eyes couldn't hide the excitement, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to start training his forbidden army into a musket team now.
Just when the officers were immersed in the fantasy of the musket team killing all sides, Cao Zilin came happily with a few carts of firearms. When trading on both sides, they felt that they had taken a big advantage, especially Cao Zilin, he was very dislike for the advanced firearm of the roaring youngster, the effect was chicken, and the maintenance cost a lot, so many thunderbolts could be exchanged for so many thunderbolts, even if it was an old thunderbolt, it was no better, and he began to consider forming a thunderbolt team like Lord Chai.
As for the right battalion, they are also silent. These old thunderbolts that should have been recycled and handed in can be exchanged for all the roaring young generals of the left battalion, which is definitely an unexpected joy, and the roaring young generals need more than 100 to begin to take shape, and if they want to continue to maintain firepower, the original reserves of the right battalion are obviously not enough, and the left battalion has a slight surplus.
After the transaction, the officers of the two battalions gathered together with their own hearts and held a banquet to celebrate.
They were far from being able to imagine what kind of impact this small arms deal within the forbidden army would have on the entire Liaodong battlefield and even the world's military. This kind of influence was not expected by Zhao Qing, the initiator.
