Chapter 845: Piercing that layer of mo
Equipped?
Training?
A group of people all claimed to be wise men, frowning and staring at Wang Xuan while thinking in their minds, wanting to see what surprising winning ideas Wang Xuan had.
Wang Xuan also looked at them, smiling and not speaking.
There was a sudden silence in the house......
Half a ring, Xi Zhicai Guo Jia and others saw that Wang Xuan had not followed for a long time, and only then did they react, this guy is selling a lawsuit again!
"Zaizhi, just hurry up, if you continue like this, I'm afraid they will beat you......" Liu Bei smiled bitterly, this kind of moment is related to the life and death of a force and the situation in the world, everyone here is nervous to death, but Wang Xuan is still like this...... He also took it.
"Give them a chance to use their brains, their minds are too stiff." Wang Xuan pursed his lips, many of the ideas and concepts formed by long-term education are indeed difficult to change in just one or two years.
Strategist: "......"
"In fact, everyone must understand that compared with all the other forces in the Han Dynasty, we have entered a new era, and there has been cross-era progress in terms of productivity and technology."
"For example, six hundred years ago, the number of chariots was still the standard for measuring a country's national strength and war capability, the main force on the battlefield, but with the massive application of cavalry and the diversification of warfare, chariots gradually withdrew from the stage of history, so does it mean that chariots should never appear again?"
As soon as Wang Xuan's question came out, everyone immediately fell into deep thought, and a hazy thought appeared in everyone's hearts, but they couldn't think through it for a while.
"I don't think so, we shouldn't limit our thoughts, only see infantry and cavalry, we should think about how to make better use of war equipment, the biggest difference between humans and animals is the use of tools."
"Chariots, for example, are extremely useful in this battle."
"Thanks to the invention of bearings, we have now popularized the four-wheeled carriage, which is larger and more convenient to turn than the two-wheeled chariot of a few hundred years ago, basically getting rid of the inability of the chariot to steer and the dependence on the terrain."
"If we remove the horses and chassis that play the role of traction power, and let the soldiers stand in them and push them, we only need 1,000 four-wheeled carriages, and we can build a sufficiently complex terrain on the battlefield at any time, and then cooperate with our elite infantry to play the role of a fortress, and the combat power that can be exerted will be unimaginable."
"That's right!" Xi Zhicai suddenly lost the sense of decadence just now, and jumped up from his seat, "Our four-wheeled baggage truck is three meters long and one meter five wide, and the four walls are spliced with 0.5 cm thick steel plates. ”
"It can be equipped with archers, which solves the problem of insufficient protection of archers in close combat, and it is easy to be easily killed by the enemy in close combat." Guo Jia also added.
"And you don't have to think too much about the terrain, as long as it's not a mountain road, there will be no problems with the basic action, even if you encounter potholes, two people can lift them over." Liu Ye also added.
"The most important thing is that we can also put the baggage trucks side by side to play the effect of the city wall, and this city wall can be moved, hehe, when the time comes, it is not a question of whether Yuan Shaojun wants to attack the city, but must attack the city!"
"The most important thing is that with the blessing of the clouds, the defense of these baggage vehicles will be greatly improved."
After Wang Xuan pierced this 'membrane' for them, these top wise men immediately thought of too many ways to use them, and Wang Xuan didn't need to worry about it anymore later.
"How many wagons did we carry?" Xi Zhicai excitedly turned his head to look at Jian Yong.
"More than four thousand." Jian Yong said with a smile: "No way, it is not very convenient to transport on the Yellow River, and there are not many of them." ”
Xi Zhicai smiled and pointed his finger at Jian Yong, this is showing off!
Qingzhou's steel production is sufficient, and the number of four-wheeled vehicles is troubled by the manufacture of bearings.
"You don't need so much, and you don't need every soldier to get into the baggage cart, and the effect is better to cooperate with each other."
"Let's stop calling it a baggage truck, it's too unqualified!" Wang Xuan waved his hand to interrupt the excited crowd, "Let's call it a chariot, as for the tactics, it is to cooperate with the chariots." ”
"Yes, it is still necessary to call the chariot, in fact, this chariot should be designed separately!" Xi Zhicai shook his head with some regret, then thought of something, turned his head to look at Wang Xuan and asked: "Zaizhi, you shouldn't have this idea now, why didn't you say it before, if it was designed and trained as soon as possible, wouldn't it be more comfortable for us to deal with this situation now?" ”
"Of course it's not an idea that only exists now, this thing, or something better than this, has been in my head for a long time." As he spoke, Wang Xuan tapped his temples.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Guo Jia asked strangely.
The others also had this kind of puzzlement, and they all looked at Wang Xuan.
"What to say, this kind of thing is too simple, it's just a film thing, as long as we dare to use it once, immediately, everyone in the world can learn it!"
Wang Xuan looked at everyone angrily, this is not the era of paying attention to patents, and now the technology of the four-wheeled carriage has been learned by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others, but it is trapped in the problem of too cumbersome bearing manufacturing, so it has not been popularized on a large scale, but through various channels, there are not many four-wheeled carriages flowing out of Qingzhou.
Of course, even if there is patent protection in modern times, it is useless, in the weapons of war, Lao Tzu imitated it, and plagiarized it, what do you like!
I'm not convinced that you're going to me!
was reminded by Wang Xuan like this, and everyone suddenly realized, indeed, this thing is too simple, even if other people's steel production is not as good, it can be made with post-wood boards, it is just a little more bulky.
A picture appeared in everyone's mind, tens of thousands of chariots on the battlefield were opposed, and they could be repaired or stuttered at any time, and a battle was fought for several days, and in the end, both sides were not much damaged, just thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my head.
If the time comes, if new weapons are not developed that can restrain the vehicle, then ...... This battle can be fought.
"In that case, why do you want to take it out now?" Guo Jia asked puzzled.
"After this battle is over, the entire north of the river plus Qingzhou and half of Xuzhou will be ours, it can be said that most of the essence of the world is in our hands, and it is worth it to take some dry goods."
"In addition, after occupying the north, we will face the threat of the steppe people, and our plan is to continue to attack the north, but the chariot will become a sharp weapon against the steppe people, we can't hide it, it is better to take it out and fight the whole world!" Wang Xuan spread his hands and said.
