Compared with the various names on the chess table, the soldiers are easy to understand, because they now have soldiers, squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders, who are concurrently served by Chief Du, so it is not surprising that there will be more people in the future, and there will be battalion commanders and regiment commanders. And the rules of eating seeds are very simple, that is, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp, which is even more simple and easy to understand.

The only thing that makes them feel incomprehensible is the common sense on the chessboard, such as the routes on the chessboard, including "highway lines" and "railway lines", and the thinner ones are "highway lines", and any chess piece can only take one step on the "highway line"; When there are no obstacles on the "railway", the sapper can walk freely on the "railway line", but the other chess pieces can only go straight on the "railway line" and cannot turn at right angles.

In addition to the "military station" on the route, there are still 4 "camps" and 2 "base camps" where the chess pieces land. The camp is a safe island, and after entering, the enemy pieces cannot eat the pieces in the camp. Flags and mines cannot be moved.

At that time, after Huang Shi finished explaining the rules, the pot exploded in the entertainment room where he explained, and everyone talked to the people around them about their own understanding of this kind of "military chess".

Huang Shi didn't stop them either, and let them digest what he had just said first.

After a while, after the voice became quieter, Du Yande first asked Huang Shi, "Chief, most of the meanings on these chess tables are easy to understand, that is, there are one or two who don't know what the meaning of the Dao is. ”

"Oh, then you can say it." Huangshi knew what they were going to ask.

Sure enough, as he thought, Du Yande pointed to a small black wooden block on the chessboard and said, "Chief, what kind of artifact is this 'bomb', and why does any chief encounter it with 'jade'?" ”

"This 'bomb' is like the 'Molotov Molotov Molotov cocktail' I gave you last time, but it is more powerful, and if it is thrown into the enemy's assembled ranks, then this lethality can be said to leave them all over the ground."

Huang Shi also wanted to explain what a "bomb" is scientifically, for example, to explain to them like the information on Baidu, "A bomb is a weapon filled with explosive substances. Bombs mainly use the huge shock wave, thermal radiation and fragments generated by the explosion to cause damage to the attack target, and there are also special bombs like neutron bombs that produce a large amount of neutron radiation, mainly causing damage to living organisms, avoiding damage to items such as buildings, and reducing economic losses to a minimum. The devices that control the detonation of the bomb include a timer, a remote control, various sensors, lasers, etc. Bombs are mostly used in war, terrorist activities and other occasions. ”

But in this way, it is estimated that they will not understand it even more. Later, when I thought about it, it seems that in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were already fireworks wrapped in rolling paper with gunpowder, and there was a difference between single and double sounds, which was called "cannon battle". In the Ming Dynasty, on occasions such as New Year's festivals, weddings, various celebrations, temple fairs, etc., "firecrackers" were set off to celebrate and ward off evil spirits.

So he said, "Actually, it's the same principle as 'firecrackers', or have you ever heard of the 'Franco' cannon, which can also throw bombs, but the gunpowder content in it is different." ”

The others present did not understand, but Du Yande understood, because he was a soldier of the guard, although it was only 1558, but the "Franco" cannon had been widely spread, this kind of large rear-loading artillery made in the Zhengde period using European technology, using flowering shells with shells.

In 1537, it is said that it has been equipped with 3,800 guns, with a front sight and a light gate, and the effective range is 500 meters, and when fired at an elevation angle of 45 degrees, the range is up to 1 kilometer. The large cannon body is 250 cm, the medium is 156 cm, and the small one is only 93 cm, and the shells are loaded from the rear, and the firing interval is short, and when firing scattershots, one shell carries 500 rounds, which can block the front 60 meters wide, and the power is amazing. Because breech loading required high casting skills, it was replaced by more advanced Hongyi cannons after the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, most of these people who have just put down their hoes do not know what to do, and only Du Yande, who is a soldier of the avant-garde station, took over the stubble, he said, "Chief, I have heard the old soldiers in the institute say before that when they became ancestors, they built a 'Shenji Battalion', and they also used firearms like 'Franco'. ”

Huang Shi shook his head, and said in his heart, how could the power of the two be the same.

In the Ming Dynasty, its cold weapons were greatly developed, such as the main R cold weapons are long-handled knives, guns, short-handled long knives, waist knives, etc., as well as various miscellaneous weapons such as palladium, horse forks, wolf stalks, etc.

And its firearms have also developed to their heyday, among which there are many varieties of tubular firearms, and the form is very complex. At that time, the jet firearms, that is, the ancient rockets have been manufactured quite sophisticated, the style is varied, according to the "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation" and "Wubei Zhi" and other historical records, the types of rockets used here are single-launch rockets, multi-salvo rockets, multi-gunpowder cartridge parallel rockets, winged rockets, multi-stage rockets, etc., and the varieties of rockets are as many as dozens of kinds.

At the same time, due to the vigorous development of firearms, the army of the Ming Dynasty was generally equipped with firearms, and the main weapons of war turned to the use of firearms. When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, competed with Emperor Jianwen for the throne, he used rockets to fight. Between 1403 and 1424 in Yongle, the Ming Dynasty also set up the "Shenji Battalion", an independent artillery system that was second to none in China and even in the world.

Moreover, the "bombs" of the Ming Dynasty, that is, explosive firearms, have been quite developed, and there are two major categories. One is landmines, with a wide variety, including dozens of stone mines, ceramic mines, pig iron mines, etc.; The other type is mines, which include weapons such as underwater mines, underwater dragon cannons, and mixed river dragons. According to a large number of historical facts, China was the first country in the world to invent and use the "two thunders".

But like other "first inventions in the world", these "bombs" or "mines" or mines, the Ming Dynasty has taken a crooked path, making "bells and whistles" in varieties and names, dozens of varieties, what "dragon guns", what "thunder thunder", etc., are all flashy, and the power is not worth mentioning compared with the Western artillery of the same period, and the power is still to be imitated.

……

However, Huang Shi didn't want to discuss contemporary firearms issues with the soldiers, so after he shook his head, he didn't refute Du Yande's statement, but after saying "um", he asked him again, "Then what other chess faces do you have doubts?" ”

"Chief, is this 'sapper' a pawn?" Wu Nanhai asked, they only learned chess yesterday, and there are soldiers and pawns in chess, but why does it have the word "work" on it, which is more strange.

"Yes and no, these 'sappers' are soldiers, but they are special soldiers, if they encounter this 'mine', they can dig up the 'mine' without harming a single bit, but if they encounter a bomb, they will also be killed."

Sappers were supposed to be engineers. In modern society, it refers to the arms that undertake the task of supporting military engineering. Engineers have the ability to quickly carry out a variety of engineering operations and carry out certain combat tasks, and they are the backbone of the army's technical support for carrying out engineering support, but they have become professional "deminers" in military chess games.

"Oh." The warriors now understood.

"I'll also talk about this 'commander' and 'military chess'." Huang Shi felt that if he explained the rules clearly, they would understand how to play.

The soldiers all looked over, so Lao Huang continued to say to Lu, "This 'commander' is the biggest official in this chess piece, that is, the 'chief', but if he encounters a 'bomb', both sides will also disappear." ”

"By the way, 'Bomb' can't be placed in the first row, 'Mine' can only be placed in the last two rows, and 'Military Chess' can only be placed in two base camps, if 'Military Chess' is touched by any of the opponent's chess pieces, you will be considered a loser." Huang Shi picked up the military chess and placed it in the "base camp" on the left.

"Chief, can our 'military chess' be moved to other places?" One of the soldiers asked, thinking that if the "military chess" could be moved to other places, such as the "camp" as the chief just said, then the opponent would not be able to eat it.

"Huh." As if seeing through the soldier's thoughts, Huang Shi laughed, "That's not good, I just said that the chess pieces placed in these two 'base camps' can't be moved, so you can put any other chess pieces on the other side of the 'military chess', but it's better not to put 'bombs', 'commanders' and 'engineers'." ”

"For what?" The fighters were a little confused.

Huang Shi didn't explain, just said, "Think more about yourself." ”

Hearing Huang Shi say this, there was some "buzzing" sound below, and after a while, his brain turned fast and quickly figured it out, while his slow brain was still pestering the people around him to ask.

"Yande, tell me about it." Huang Shi looked over, and among their group of people, that is, Du Yande and a few of them, reacted a little faster.

"Yes, Chief." After Du Yande agreed, he continued, "Just now, the chief mentioned that the chess pieces that enter the base camp cannot be moved, and among so many chess pieces, the 'commander' is the largest, if it enters the 'base camp' but cannot maneuver, it will become a stinky chess, and if the 'bomb' is placed in the 'base camp' and has no chance to kill the 'commander', it will become a waste chess." ”

"Hmm." Huang Shi nodded, "So you think these two chess pieces can't be placed inside, so what about the 'sapper'?" ”

Seeing that the chief affirmed his statement, Du Yande was very happy, so he smiled, "Chief, 'sapper' you said earlier, he can dig out 'mines', if he is placed here, he won't be able to move." ”
