In the process of review, Tsuneishi profoundly expounded on the problems that had arisen in his own command this time. First of all, the People's Salvation Army's dispatch this time is too much. The two regiments led by Tsuneishi and Hal only sent four battalions into battle, and two of them were still equipped with old-fashioned flintlock pistols, which were very lethal.

In addition, the strength of the troops is overestimated, and with explosives bags and rifles, they dare to attack the fortifications, and as a result, the magic of a junior magician on the opposite side is very difficult to deal with. This is a wooden mage, and small explosions like rifles and explosives packs can still be more or less useful. If the enemy is a gold magician, it is estimated that even if the whole group is reimbursed, it will not be able to defeat it.

However, on the whole, although it was a miserable victory, it can also be said that the brave man wins when he meets on a narrow road, and the Military Commission did not criticize Tsuneishi and Hal too much, and after a brief reflection, they arranged for Tsuneishi and Hal to take their remnants back to Qingling to replenish the soldiers.

At present, because the town of Chel is located on the front line, it no longer receives displaced people from outside, and it does not accept displaced people, which is of great benefit to public order, but at the same time, it also brings about the problem of insufficient soldiers. In order to solve this problem, the Central Military Commission specially opened a reception center for displaced people in the Qingling area. Because now Qingling is still relatively closed no matter what, and most of Qingling has been screened, and there are 3,500 homeless people visiting every three or five days, so it is not a problem at all. If you can't do it, you can send it to the tribe after screening.

The current Moyan tribe is naturally not what it used to be. Yan Xiaohuan took the three regiments to do mountain training in the tribe, not only training, Yan Xiaohuan also asked the troops from the Qingling Mine to transport the split steam engine parts to the tribe, and the scientific research personnel went to install the steam engine in the tribe. During this time, the tribe has not only carved out more space in the valley, but also built countless terraces along the mountain, and if there is no flood disaster such as a landslide, it is estimated that this autumn, the tribe will be completely self-sufficient in terms of rations, and can supply some army rations more or less.

All in all, the improvement of the tribal situation has also given a lot of room for absorbing displaced people. In addition, compared with the mine, the tribe is even more unable to insert needles into the water and splash in, don't look at the left are some old, weak, sick and disabled, but the experience is not covered, and in terms of screening people, ordinary people can't compare.

Tsuneishi and Hal led the men to re-recruit troops from both the mine and the tribe, and then re-started training. Although the two regiments have suffered serious attrition and have lost one regiment of troops, after the round-the-clock care and operation of Li Xueyuan and others in the hospital, many lightly wounded have already returned to the troops, and many seriously wounded have also saved their lives.

These veterans can become a valuable force in future battles.

Then there's the issue of equipment. After this war, Liang Shuopeng found that semi-automatic rifles alone were not enough. One is that semi-automatic rifles only increase the rate of fire, but not their power. And with the current level of science and technology in the mine, it still doesn't feel realistic to design a larger weapon. Although there are cannons, but the cannons with the same design concept as the arquebus, not only appear bulky and unsuitable for the needs of field battles, but also feel more or less meaningless in terms of power, firing frequency, and range.

If you say that the siege battle of the gong and the drum in front of the face is okay, or bullying the local security regiment, that is, those guards who mainly use cold weapons, then it is really proper. But if you say that in the face of this kind of large-scale mage troops, I have to say that it is still a little insufficient.

So, Liang Shuopeng pondered for some days, and finally, from his memory, he collected something that can be applied to the current National Salvation Army troops, that is, mortars.

Yes, mortars, this thing is very simple, the structure is a base trigger, a round barrel, plus a shell with a primer. Relying on the natural fall of the cannonball, it can naturally trigger the explosion, and then the cannonball shoots out in a parabolic shape, which is much more powerful than the explosive pack, and it is very convenient to point where to hit.

Coupled with the industrial base of mortars, with the construction of arsenals and the production of semi-automatic rifles, it is now very easy to produce mortars.

Cannonballs are nothing more than larger bullets, although the gunpowder in them is still more or less different, but in fact, even if you make gunpowder according to the formula of the bullet, at most it is almost powerful, and it can still be used more or less. The barrel is more convenient. It is much less troublesome than the barrel, and some of the more delicate parts of the barrel need to be sharpened by a lathe, and rifling or something needs to be carved with a cutter head. But the barrel is not needed at all, the cannon is not like a gun, and the mortar is a smoothbore cannon, otherwise how could it be a parabola.

After thinking about it, just do it, of course, what about these things, Hou Pai and Cheng Shaowei can't help much, they can only rely on Liang Shuopeng himself. But fortunately, after the People's Salvation Army has established an arsenal now, it has cultivated some excellent production workers, even if their theoretical knowledge is still poor, many of them have to rely on Liang Shuopeng to instill them, but due to large-scale production, they more or less have their own understanding of thermal weapons.

Liang Shuopeng first designed the cannon barrel, the barrel is fifty centimeters long, Liang Shuopeng did not design a very large, large caliber, long barrel, although the power is strong, the range is also long. But there is a problem, first of all, if this thing is to solve the needs of field warfare, if it is to be matched with sports warfare, then it must naturally be portable. Is it okay to have a barrel of more than one meter? Okay, no problem. But at present, the People's Salvation Army is mostly fighting in the mountains, and in the face of magicians, it is difficult to say that they have to give them a time, and most of them have to carry out a surprise attack before they form large-scale magic, so it is really not good to say that this cannon is too big.

The production method of the barrel is also different from the barrel, because the thickness is thick enough, so it is directly poured as a whole, and then polished. The cannonballs used the primer of the bullets. Liang Shuopeng can't think of any other way for the time being, so for now, on top of the existing experience, he can get it out quickly. The devil knows when the next enemy attack will be.

As if in response to Liang Shuopeng's expectations, Raul did not choose to return to the provincial capital in time after this rout. Because none of his mage troops died. Even if Luther, a junior magician, was seriously injured after a backlash, he didn't think anything was wrong with it. As for the dead guards, he didn't care even more, after all, this time he was raided, and he also relaxed his vigilance. As long as he gives himself enough time next time, he firmly believes that it will not be him who will die.

However, at present, in his hands, in addition to more than fifty magicians, there are only two or three hundred guards left who ran out with him. These guards are clearly not enough. Although he didn't know how many enemies were left, he always knew that these enemies were very strong. Especially the last wave of suicidal attacks, the explosion caused by it was comparable to the magic released by a fire junior mage, or even two fire type junior mages with all their might.

He naturally knew that he was afraid, but the reason why he didn't go back was because he suffered such a rout, and he couldn't come up with some decent results, so he returned to the provincial capital, and there was only one ending waiting for him, that is, he was disqualified from inheritance. He did not want to be disqualified from inheritance. In that case, he would rather die.

However, he didn't want to die, and after thinking about it, he had to use the influence of his eldest son to fight to the death, and finally, add another fire to himself.

It didn't take long for him to take in the security regiments of the ten nearby towns, as well as the security chiefs of the ten towns. The forcible removal of the soldiers of these security regiments has already made many of the commanders of the security regiments express their dissatisfaction. Not all of the security captains are like Tyr, who only knows how to study their own magic and strength, and doesn't have much background. Some of the leaders of these security regiments have good family backgrounds, but they just feel that being the head of a security regiment can give more benefits to their families and themselves.

Just like there was a saying in the world before Lin Qiang crossed over, it was called the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, and 100,000 snowflakes of silver. The children of these families, in fact, choose this kind of grassroots unit, and sometimes they also have this idea.

So soon, Raul's forced conscription was stabbed to the lord Comie. Hussein there. Comu sat in his large office on the top floor of the castle of Montel, listening to the reports of his men. In fact, Raul thought that he could hide it from his father, but who is Ke Mu, he is the strongest among the high-level magicians in the entire kingdom, but he is definitely the most capable of scheming, and if he wants to hide from his father, he has to say that Raul will have to practice for many more years.

He, as a father, just wants to give his son a chance.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Ke Miao frowned and said lightly: "Raul, Raul, you have disappointed me too much. ”

Then Comu said to his subordinates, "Now, call the second Paul, to me." The fleas in the south, now it's time to deal with them. ”

At this time, Raul was still immersed in the fantasy that he could continue to gain his father's favor, so he forced his march towards the town of Chel, despite the fact that his men had not finished repairing, he wanted to crush everything that stood in his way, and wanted to make those who dared to attack him pay the price. And this price will be the blood of these people, as well as their heads.
