Chapter 309: The Power of New Equipment!
"20,000 words are enough, but when does Your Highness plan to leave? After all, we still need your help. Li Ran said.
According to Li Ran's meaning, they need Li Su to go to Australia with them, because only Li Su can buy all kinds of materials from modern times, so that they can move forward from the modern scientific and technological foundation and rapidly improve the level of science and technology, and this is what Li Su asked them.
Because according to Li Ran, in their time, life science technology has made great progress, although immortality is impossible, but the matter of prolonging life can be done, for such a thing, not only Li Shimin is very desired, Li Su is also very eager, for those who stand at the peak of power who do not want to live longer, even if they can extend their life for decades, it is good, and Li Su is also convinced of this, after all, modern knowledge tells him, from primitive society to modern times, The average life expectancy of human beings is constantly increasing.
"Wait until November, when you can go to Australia for the winter." Li Su thought for a while and said.
"If that's the case, we've got another month." Li Ran said.
"Well, yes, it will take a lot of time to go, I have to deal with the things in the fiefdom." Li said.
After Li Su sent the new rifles and artillery to the palace in Taoyuan, Li Su asked people to transport these two things to the barracks, preparing to implement the matter of replacing weapons.
From Li Shimin's arrival in Yizhou, to currency issuance and industrial reform, Li Su has been busy with the rounds and turns, and he has asked relatively little about the affairs of the army, but this does not mean that Li Su has ignored the importance of the army, on the contrary, the army has always been the object of Li Su's close attention. He will immediately know that any wind and grass will know, because some of these officers in the army hold dual identities, that is, officers and internal guards, and Su Moer's shadow guard also has an eyeliner in the army, in case something happens to the army, after all, the destructive power of the Yizhou army with guns and artillery is huge, and if it rebels, it will be a fatal blow to Yizhou.
"Your Highness, is there a battle to fight?" As soon as Qin Huaiyu entered Li Su's office, he shouted, this stunned man has not changed at all since he got married. It's still the straightforward character of the past.
Zhu Youzhi showed a look of disdain, "The major affairs of the country of soldiers, your art of war has been read in vain, and it is a war casually." ”
Qin Huaiyu sneered, "If you don't fight as a soldier, what kind of soldier is you, does Zheng Binglu ignore you again, she has a stinky face again." ", showing a gossipy expression.
Li Su glanced at the two of them. Qin Huaiyu's kid seems to have gained a lot of weight, Li Su gave him a month's vacation, it seems that this kid's life is good, moisturizing and moisturizing; Zhu Youzhi is still like that. The look of depression on his face, at first glance, he is the opposite of a resentful woman.
"Okay, okay, it's noisy as soon as we meet. I'm looking for you today. Li Su said.
Hearing this, both of them put away their hippie smiling faces and waited for Li Su to speak.
"This army's weapons have come out in a new style, and according to Taoyuan's words, the third-generation weapons will be ready to be installed soon. After equipping the army with these weapons, the composition of the army will be completely changed, and the sword and shield men and archers will be eliminated. Li Su took a sip of the tea on the table and said.
"Why?" The two said almost in unison.
Li Su brought the new rifle from under the table and said, "Because the range and accuracy of the new musket have been greatly improved, and the power of the cannon is the same, I have brought both weapons, and you will understand after you have seen them." ”
Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu looked at the new rifle in Li Su's hand and showed a hint of surprise, this rifle is indeed very different from the previous rifle, and there is a short knife in front of the gun, which has a strange shape.
followed Li Su to the shooting range, the two of them were separated from Li Su's sides, and they were both aiming at the new rifle in Li Su's hand, since the firearms were also diligent in the training of firearms, the two of them were also very familiar with the construction and use of firearms, so they were also considered insiders.
Li Su turned the rifle sideways and said to the two: "This rifle is very different from the previous breech-loading rifles, first of all, the magazine, this rifle has a magazine that can hold five rounds, and secondly, the bullet. As he spoke, Li Su put a yellow-orange bullet in front of the two of them, and continued: "The gunpowder used by this bullet is two to three times more powerful than black powder, and the metal cartridge case is easier to fill the bullet, so that the soldier can shoot in any position." ”
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean we can use the skirmishers?" Zhu Youzhi asked.
"That's right, with this rifle, the soldier has a lot more flexibility in fighting, there is no need to use linear fire, and the effective range of this rifle is up to 500 meters, and this rotary rear pull bolt, you pay attention to how I use it." After that, Li Su quickly shot out five bullets with a pull and a push of the rifle, and the time only took about twenty seconds, "If you continue to reload, this gun can shoot ten bullets in one minute." ”
Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi were already stunned, this rifle is much stronger than the breech rifle equipped by the army now, and it is much easier to use in all aspects, according to the appearance of the bullet, it is estimated that even if it is raining, it can be used for normal combat.
"Your Highness, what about the artillery?" Li Su demonstrated the rifle to them, and they also looked forward to the power of the artillery.
On the left side of Li Su, there was an object covered by cloth, and Li Su stepped forward and lifted the black canvas, revealing the new artillery inside.
"It looks a lot smaller." The two men circled around the artillery, the structure of this gun seemed to be more complicated, and the thickness of the barrel was much thinner, and the wheels that towed the gun were replaced with rubber wheels.
Li Su motioned for the artillery to load, and then he said: "This is a new type of field artillery, the weight is only half of the previous one, the firing of the shell is much simpler, and there is another feature that you will understand after you have seen it." ”
When the artillery was loaded, the two had already left, and while Li Su was talking, the artilleryman pulled the rope, and after the "boom", there was a loud "boom" in the distance, and the dust five or six meters high suddenly rose on the distant dirt slope, and at the same time there was dense black smoke.
"What's going on?" The two of them were dumbfounded.
Li Su patted the two of them on the shoulder and said: "This is the new weapon of artillery, called the flowering shell, if there is an infantry phalanx in that place, then they will all die now." ”
A trace of cold sweat came out of Zhu Youzhi's forehead, no wonder Li Su wanted to change the setting of the troops, it turned out that the weapons in the video he had seen before had already appeared, so the new form of war shì also came, "Your Highness, I understand, Qin Huaiyu and I will organize the reorganization of the army, train new tactics, and give full play to the power of these two weapons." ”
Qin Huaiyu became more and more depressed, "Personal bravery has really become a thing of the past, Your Highness, what is the use of our generals with this kind of weapon?" ”
Li Su smiled, "The body is always necessary, how can it be useless, although this weapon is very powerful, it will inevitably encounter unexpected situations, and it will have to be hand-to-hand combat when the time comes, you see the bayonet on this, isn't it just for hand-to-hand combat?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu felt a little more comfortable at this time, but Li Su's words made his face bitter again, "That being said, you mainly need to learn how to command the new army to fight and control the army's casualties to the minimum." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The two said in unison.
Seeing this excellent weapon, the spirits of the two immediately became excited, Zhu Youzhi: "After three years of development, our Yizhou army has now expanded to 100,000 people, and now we have to change to new equipment, and the hands of the soldiers are very itchy. War maniac Qin Huaiyu said again.
At this time, Zhu Youzhi no longer dismantled Qin Huaiyu's platform, because he was also eager for it, and they all looked at Li Su with expectant eyes. (To be continued......)
