Five hundred cannons, a staggering number.

An Biru and several other important ministers of the Son of Heaven were shocked by this.

Only the financial resources and access of the temple can get so many Western iron cannons.

But Xue Yiren set up the sand table freely, indicating that even if Wu Feng had so many iron gunners, he also had a chance of winning against Wu Feng!

Wu Feng had never played Western sand table war games, but he had heard of it and knew that in the West, there were generals who used it to deduce the outcome of the war, and the results were quite meritorious.

Xue Yiren gave him a brief description of the rules.

Each round is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, and the players act in order, which is the same as in Xiangqi.

Since Wu Feng had to delay a certain amount of time if he wanted to return to his troops through the tunnel, the first move was occupied by Xue Yiren, and he played chess first.

Depending on the mobility and terrain of each class, the distance at which a turn can be traveled is determined.

The lethality of an encounter is related to the number of troops, the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain, and the restraint of the troops, and there are definite rules and formulas to calculate it. The chance factor is estimated by rolling the dice.

Wu Feng quickly understood the rules and, through his own military experience, recognized the rationality of the rules.

The iron cannon salvo was powerful and long-range, but the disadvantage was that it could not be ejected.

Xue Yiren acted first, quickly seized the commanding heights, and ensured that his side could effectively form a formation.

Wu Feng stepped forward with a cavalry team to tease.

Xue Yiren responded with a strong crossbow and was condescending, so that Wu Feng had no chance to take advantage of it.

When Wu Feng turned to the defensive, Xue Yiren immediately made a slight detour and attacked from the side.

This direction is densely wooded, suitable for infantry combat, but it is not convenient for the use of iron artillery.

The tactic adopted by Wu Feng was to form a V-shaped formation with two columns of foot soldiers, with the iron artillery team in the middle and the archers assisting.

In this way, the firing surface of the iron cannon can be used, and it can be flexibly protected by infantry mobility.

However, after Xue Yiren's troops seized the commanding heights, they launched an attack from a high position, and the advantages brought were too great.

Xue Yiren attacked on three fronts, with one line attracting long-range troops from the front, and the other two lines attacking Wu Feng's flanks from the outside.

The mid lane suffered heavy losses under the fire, but was still able to maintain the formation.

On both sides, they drove straight in, launching fierce blows at Wu Feng's infantry on both wings.

Wu Feng could only fight and retreat.

When a total of four hundred-man teams on the left and right flanks were annihilated, the iron artillery and bow teams finally lost their protection and were completely wiped out in close combat.

At this point, the big picture is decided.

Xue Yiren smiled leisurely.

An Biru and the others also had bright eyes.

Wu Feng looked calm.

The review took place two more times, and both men fine-tuned their tactics.

But the results haven't changed much.

The results of the deduction showed that if a war broke out, the Shentang army would lose more than half of it in less than an hour, lose all its firepower and collapse, and the casualties of Tianzi Peak would not exceed 400 people.

There is only a 10% chance of exceeding this outcome.

"So, do you want to actually try it?"

What came out like this was not Xue Yiren, but Wu Feng!

He raised his clear eyes and looked at Tianzi Peak and his party.

An Biru and the others were both shocked and angry.

This kid was so arrogant that he didn't even believe in the results of the deduction.

Then let's really fight. If all the guards of the Divine Hall are wiped out here, Wu Feng will definitely be usurped by Su Can, and Tianzi Feng will have an opportunity!

This is the idea of the ministers under the command of Xue Yiren.

Xue Yiren waved his hand.

"I was mistaken. ”

As soon as these words came out, An Biru and others became more and more surprised.

Got it wrong, what got it wrong?

"Let's do it again, there was a mistake in the parameters before, and the lethality of the Iron Artillery Team should be doubled. ”

An Biru immediately spoke: "Master, how is this reasonable? This parameter is clearly the result of the actual combat of the iron artillery in the Western Desert area, and the data obtained from the analysis of hundreds of actual battles......

Xue Yiren shook his head and said to Wu Feng: "Virtuous son-in-law, take out your iron cannon." ”

Wu Feng nodded and took out his iron cannon.

The gun shape is slender and gilded, delicate and graceful.

But what Xue Yiren noticed was the center of the barrel.

He pointed with his slender fingers.

There are a series of spiral lines inside.

"This kind of iron cannon used by all your men?"

Xue Yiren's eyes were quiet and profound, like the water of a big lake.

"Yes. Wu Feng replied decisively.

"I was right. Xue Yiren sighed and said, "Rifling...... Su Mengzhen left the control of that trade route to you, this is the key to your ability to sit firmly on the throne of the Divine Hall Master. ”

Looking at the confused expressions of his subordinates, Xue Yiren just smiled slightly.

"Five hundred iron cannons looks like a lot. ”

"But as far as I know, Su Can also secretly formed an iron artillery unit of five hundred people. Other than that, I can do it if I want to. ”

However, rifling is the soul of the iron cannon, and the rifled gun has a much higher hit rate and is not the same as the smoothbore gun. ”

"The technical level of our Middle-earth can only imitate smoothbore guns, and if you want to get rifled guns, you can only import them from the West, which is not only extremely expensive, but also has no special way, and you can't get a single one. ”

After saying this, An Biru's coquettish gaze instantly froze, and she inhaled a cool breath slightly.

She finally understood why, even if Su Mengzhen's attack on Tianzi Peak failed and suffered heavy losses, Xue Yiren did not dare to enter the counterattack.

The internal instability of Tianzi Peak is one thing, and on the other hand, the huge financial resources and various secret trade routes of the Divine Hall do make Xue Yiren jealous.

Xue Yiren tapped on the table and motioned for two more plates.

After adjusting the parameters, the original tactics were still the same, and as a result, Xue Yiren's mid-lane troops were quickly bombarded by the iron artillery team.

The iron artillery team advanced to launch a counterattack, the infantry responded, and the Tianzi Peak troops on both sides soon collapsed completely and had to withdraw from the battlefield!

Just tweaking and changing the lethality data of the Iron Artillery Team caused such a big difference.

In other words, if there is a real fight, almost all of the elites of the two thousand Tianzi Peaks will be buried here.

In the second set, Xue Yiren simply took a defensive position and occupied the commanding heights without moving.

However, Wu Feng relied on the strong firepower of the iron artillery team to choose a slope with fewer trees to attack directly.

The chess pieces of the Divine Hall suffered heavy losses, but the chess pieces of Tianzi Peak were still completely wiped out!

"Son-in-law, you won. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation is better than the old people...... "Xue Yiren rose up, his eyes were lonely.

An Biru said angrily: "It's just the sharpness of the weapon......"

Xue Yiren shook his head: "But you haven't heard of the existence of rifled guns at all. ”

"This is also normal, although rifling has been invented for hundreds of years, it has been a matter of recent years to really solve the problem of too slow reloading speed and increase the rate of fire. ”

"It is foreseeable that even in the West, rifled guns will still be equipped for ace troops for decades because of the high cost of construction. ”

"Being able to grasp the latest changes in technology and enjoy its results in a timely manner is the vision and courage that only the trendsetters of the times have! ”

Xue Yiren patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and said something that made the ministers feel shocked.

"If one day I have three long and two short, my son is only afraid that he will lead the horse as a slave in front of his son-in-law's door!"
