The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"You said you used artillery to block the enemy's retreat?" Guo Sheng asked curiously, because he wanted to understand the Qin Army's combat style through contact with the Qin Army. After all, this was of great benefit to them.

"Yes. We do indeed do this. Our Qin Army has always attached great importance to firepower. We will only use landmines unless our firepower cannot completely cover the areas reached. Most of the landmines play a passive defensive role." Meng Fang explained.

"Oh." Guo Sheng nodded to express his understanding.

"So, do you have any way to solve this current problem?" Guo Sheng asked at this time.

"What do you mean?" Meng Fang didn't know why Guo Sheng asked this. After all, Meng Fang felt that such a question was a bit too sensitive.

"Oh, I mean, do we have any way to solve this current predicament? You also know what kind of situation we are facing." Guo Sheng said at this time.

"The Yan State has only three infantry regiments with low numbers and very poor combat effectiveness for defense, and they now put all their hopes on us. They believe that as long as they lay out landmines on a large scale, they can complete such a task.

For such a task, I personally think it is not very good." Guo Sheng said worriedly.

"Oh." Meng Fang said with enlightenment.

"We, the Qin Army, are just here to provide advisors. There is no need for us to be too involved in other matters, right?" Meng Fang said embarrassedly. The order he received was to put forward some opinions, but how to do it specifically still needs to be done.

What should the Yan army do? But Meng Fang was very disappointed with the Yan army, and he also learned that the main force of the Yan army suffered heavy losses. Under such circumstances, Meng Fang was not happy to ask him to propose specific advisory ideas.

"Just because you are consultants, I need your opinions as a reference. You just said it. Just laying out a large number of minefields is useless. The other party can bypass our minefields. Moreover, when the minefields are laid out,

, After all, there are some blind spots, and any situation is possible, so I still hope to get the support of the artillery." Guo Sheng emphasized at this time.

"Oh. That's it." Meng Fang nodded and said.

"But you have also seen the situation of the Yan Army. Their artillery units have suffered a lot of losses, and if they are covered, their firepower range has problems. I'm worried that they can't do this. Moreover, the artillery units need a lot of cover.

, it will be difficult for the Yan army to do this in a short period of time." Meng Fang said.

"Well, what you said is indeed a problem, but I think relying on minefields alone is not enough. I hope more that the current Yan Army's artillery unit can play its role as much as possible." Guo Sheng requested again.

"This." Meng Fang still thinks that judging from the current situation, there are many difficulties.

"If I report to the superiors and can provide sufficient cannons and artillery, I will agree to this plan." Meng Fang thought for a while and said.

"Well, I hope it can be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the situation will be very unfavorable to us." Guo Sheng said worriedly.

"I will try my best." Meng Fang nodded in agreement.

In a Qin Army camp at the entrance to the northern border of Qin State, the Qin Army's Fifth Cavalry Regiment is stationed here.

"Where should we go next?" A Hun warrior asked his brother holding the playing cards in his hand.

"I don't know, maybe our commander knows what we should do next." A sergeant holding an iron teacup shook his head and said.

"Sergeant, sir, we have been resting for a while. I think we may not be willing to stay like this anymore." A private said dissatisfied. Their 5th Cavalry Regiment was deployed to the north because

In this position, they were too far away from the Westerners in the desert of southern Xinjiang, which also made their battle results not very good. This made many Xiongnu officers and soldiers feel helpless. They wanted to fight, but the battle was not

They can come all at once, and they hope to get rich loot through the battle.

"Okay. Don't worry, everyone, there will be a battle." At this time, their platoon leader Saber walked among them.

"Sir." Everyone stood up, and the card players also stood up one after another. They knew that when their commander came, he would definitely have a combat mission.

"Sir, do we have a combat mission?" The private just asked anxiously. After all, if they don't fight, the rewards they get will be very limited.

"Yes. But we must learn to train first." Saber said to everyone with a smile.

"Now we need to assign a new task. I need a squad to operate the horse artillery. Which squad do you think can be responsible for it?" Sabao said looking at everyone. Among the people present, there were three of his squad leaders. They

Each person has fifteen to twenty subordinates.

"Sir, I'll come." At this time, a middle-aged Huns with a scarred face raised his hand and said.

"I know how to aim and shoot. Moreover, among my people, they are the Qin people's horse slaves and the Qin people's muskets. They operate them very smoothly." The scar-faced middle-aged man said.

"Hmm. Okay. Okay." Sabao nodded and said.

"Chen Dao Scar. In the afternoon, you will take your people to the logistics office to collect the horse artillery. In addition, you will have to study there temporarily for three days. After the study, your class will be changed to a horse artillery class, and your salary will increase by 100%.

Fifty." Ma Dao looked at Chen Daobao and said.

"Thank you, sir." Chen Daobao thanked him without any expression.

"Well. You deserve it." Saber said.

"Sir, this is too easy. Just like this, you can increase your salary by 50%." A private said with some dissatisfaction. However, most Huns soldiers were not willing to accept such a task, although

Fifty percent of the salary is very attractive at present, but the Huns cavalry are still disdainful because they are cavalry units. If they go to the battlefield, they can collect them as soon as possible.

to get the trophies they want, and because the artillery unit is provided with fire support, it is unlikely that they will get the trophies immediately. Although the Saber has said 50% of the salary, there are still quite a few soldiers

They are unwilling to accept such a task because their salary is very low after all. Most of them still hope for their spoils. After all, that is what they hope to get most.

"Well, it's indeed easy, but this is a task assigned by above." Saber glanced at the other party and said.

"For such a task, don't make random guesses." Saber glanced at everyone and said.

"Okay, everyone is training actively. We also need to prepare in the past few days. We may have to move away." Saber continued.

"This." When everyone heard this, they immediately realized that they had a mission. This was a new mission that they had been waiting for a long time to get, and having a mission meant that they could get quite a lot of loot, so

The exciting news made them very excited.

"Sir, do we have a new mission? Where are we going this time? Is there a battle to fight? We brothers are going crazy. We came out just to fight." Zhao Laosan followed.

Sabo, asked anxiously. Zhao Laosan is the second squad leader of Sabo, Chen Daobao was a former slave, Qin

He was a slave of the Chinese people. Later, the Qin people asked him to serve as a soldier because of his birth. Zhao Laosan, like Chen Daobao, was also born a slave. The difference was that he was from the Zhao State. When he heard that the Qin people were recruiting soldiers, he

He came here from the State of Zhao. Fortunately, the people of the State of Qin did not ask too much about his affairs in the State of Zhao.

"I know you are anxious, so let me tell you, this time we may go to the west, to the territory of the Dawan people. I don't know what we will do specifically." Ma Dao said in a low voice.

"Well, what are we going to do there?" Zhao Laosan asked curiously.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't. There are some orders that I don't know about." Saber looked around and said.

"But this time, it's quite strange. This time we are equipped with horse artillery. In the past, such weapons were used intensively, but I don't know why, but they are so generous this time. I really don't know what the Qin people want to do?"

Saber also asked a little strangely.

"Forget it. These are not our worries. We only need to know that there is a war to fight. We can't control what happens specifically." Saber waved his arms and said impatiently. Saber was also a Huns, but he

He learned a lot from the people of Qin. He was the first to be captured by the people of Qin and used as a slave. In order to obtain sufficient bank loans, his master mortgaged him to the bank. Unknown later

What happened? The bank sent him to the army. Now he is still in a semi-free state. He needs to redeem himself. Every month, he needs to pay fifteen gold in ransom money. In order to get freedom as soon as possible, he

He worked hard and worked his way up to his current position as platoon leader, but this position was still not enough to pay for his ransom every month. The platoon leader's salary was only twelve gold, and he needed to fight to get a job like this.

"Yes, sir, I won't ask any more." Zhao Laosan said with a smile and a salute.

"Go away." Sabao smiled and chased the opponent away. Then Sabao went to reply to the order.

At the headquarters of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, the commander of the cavalry regiment and his chief of staff were discussing their views on this matter.

"Lao Bai, what do you mean by the above? Disperse our artillery and conduct emergency training. Wouldn't this distract our artillery firepower?" Meng Quan said worriedly about his opinion, his

The Fifth Cavalry Regiment was established in the north. The whole regiment has more than 2,500 people, most of whom are Huns and a small number of Donghu people.

"Well, at first, I had such worries too." Bai Tang nodded.

"To be honest, I really didn't understand what it meant at first?" Bai Tang nodded.

"But later, I studied it carefully." Bai Tang said with a smile.

"I found that it may have something to do with our future combat targets, so we gave us such a strange order." Baitang analyzed. The main body of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment is the Huns, but in order to control these Huns

, the command structure of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment is composed of Qin Army officers, but this only reaches the battalion level, and when it reaches the company, there are basically no Qin people to hold most of these positions.

They are all junior officers selected by the Huns themselves. Baitang is the chief of staff of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, and Meng Quan is the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment. Their troops were established in the north. Meng Quan was directly recruited from a

The regiment staff officer was promoted to the position of regiment commander. For a combat regiment composed of Huns, he did not have full confidence to control such a unit. At the very least, he did not fully grasp the temper of this unit.

"Oh. Please analyze, what is our next target?" Meng Quan asked Bai Tang to explain his reasons.

"Well, recently we have analyzed the direction of the mobilization orders given to us. I think the biggest possibility is Northern Xinjiang, because Li Xin's troops are very tight. They only have more than 20,000 people, and more than 20,000 people need to

The defense area is very huge. Under such circumstances, I think the most likely direction for our next move is to move north and enter the northern Xinjiang area." Bai Tang analyzed.

"Yeah. That makes sense. Our troops are too far north. We didn't get much from the last combat mission. As a result, many people complained a lot to me, especially the Huns. They wanted to fight in the next

They obtained a large amount of loot during the battle, but in the end, they gained nothing. Such losses were detrimental to

For them, it was too big. They had great grievances, but I had no choice but to do it now. We can mobilize to the north. The number of Li Xin's troops is very small, and we are a mobile cavalry unit, so we must have combat missions.

Now, these Huns have nothing to complain about." Meng Quan nodded.

"Yes, but this time our combat target may be the Parthian cavalry who also fight with cavalry." Bai Tang continued.

"Are you saying that we might have to use troops against Parthia next?" At this time, Meng Quan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that's my analysis. Moreover, our combat direction is already in the direction of Li Xin's troops. And their biggest threat is the Parthian cavalry, so I think we have encountered a very strong opponent." Bai

Tang said.

"I really don't know if we can win such a battle. You must know that the opponent is the Parthian cavalry. Our Huns cavalry has not been fully integrated. It would be too risky to rush into battle." Meng Quan was worried.

Speaking of it, due to professional habits, after all, he was also a staff officer before, and a staff officer has to consider various possibilities, but he is much less interested in making decisions.

"Perhaps it is for this reason that the superiors asked us to disperse the artillery units and assign them to the lower levels to strengthen the company's combat capabilities. I think the meaning of the superiors is already very clear." Bai Tang said.

At this time, Meng Quan nodded and began to think about his intentions in this regard. Dispersing the artillery was definitely a taboo for the Qin Army. The Qin Army always attached great importance to the suppression and attack of firepower. This may be due to the fact that the Qin Army was the first to master firearms.

It has something to do with it. This made the Qin army form a habit of suppressing fire, but this order was very strange.

The strange thing is to provide more horse artillery. Spread the horse artillery among various companies to form horse artillery squads. In this case, the horse artillery of a battalion cannot be concentrated, and fire suppression cannot be formed. In battalion-scale operations, there is no

With the superiority in firepower, the Qin army would definitely have a hard time fighting, and this was what Meng Quan was worried about.

"The firepower is dispersed, but the firepower of the company is strengthened. Although the firepower is dispersed, the firepower of the company as the basic level is strengthened. Doesn't it mean that the above means that we should fight separately and disperse a regiment?

Break it into pieces and attack separately?" Meng Quan suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes, our next combat mission will definitely be like this. I think this is the intention above." Bai Tang continued.

"But if we do this, it won't help the other party to defeat us one by one, which will be of no benefit to us?" Meng Quan asked in confusion.

"This is the difference in the combat intention above." Bai Tang said at this time.

"I think the above may be asking us to disperse and attack, and the target of the attack is not the opponent's army, but the opponent's tribe or logistics base. Don't forget. We are a cavalry unit with very powerful maneuverability. We can quickly

to bypass the other party

If we enter the opponent's defense line and enter the opponent's rear, one of our companies can eat up a large part of the opponent's logistics at once. Especially equipped with muskets, we have great advantages in range and power. Now, we have horses again.

The artillery is equipped to the company and at a long distance

From above, we can design quickly. In this way, we have a great advantage in company-scale operations. Even if we cannot hit the enemy, we have a large enough firepower advantage. Such a threat is still

exists. For us, this

This is our advantage. Although we have dispersed the firepower, to a certain extent, we have strengthened the firepower of our basic company and dispersed attacks, which will be more conducive to weakening the basic strength of the Parthian Kingdom. This is the strength.

Weakened." Bai Tang analyzed.

"Well, your analysis makes perfect sense." Meng Quan nodded.

"However, I think, what is the purpose of doing this? What are the benefits of spreading the troops out?" Meng Quan asked doubtfully.

"I think the biggest possibility is that we can't go out on a large scale at the moment, so attacking in small groups and harassing the opponent is the only thing we can do. If we do this, the opponent will be too tired to deal with us, and

We can also weaken the enemy to the greatest extent, which is our most fundamental purpose." Bai Tang analyzed.

"Well. Maybe it is such a reason, but I think that this reason is not enough for us to launch such an attack. Regardless. This has exceeded our analysis, and the information we have received is not very much. Such randomness

The speculation is not conducive to our judgment." Meng Quan believed that Bai Tang's analysis was correct, but it was not comprehensive because the information they had was not very sufficient.

Under such circumstances, he naturally could not get the results he wanted. After all, they were a regiment-level combat unit, a regiment-level combat unit, and their situation was very embarrassing. They could not further know the combat intentions above.

, but can only roughly understand the role of its own combat intentions above, and cannot further interfere with the next combat plan. This is the backbone role of the regiment.

At this time, Li Xin had received the telegram from the General Staff.

"I didn't expect that our people would be asked to attack the Parthian tribes on behalf of these damn Dawan people." Li Xin said while looking at the telegram from the general staff.

"Sir, do we have a combat mission?" an artillery staff officer asked excitedly.

"Well, that's about it." Li Xin said and handed the telegram in his hand to the artillery staff officer.

"Look, this is the combat unit given to me from above, the Huns cavalry unit, and it has also been reinforced by artillery." Li Xin said. The artillery staff officer took the telegram and looked at it, and other staff members also came over excitedly.

.

"Indeed, each company is equipped with horse artillery. In this case, the company's artillery has been strengthened. However, the overall combat artillery capability has not improved but has dropped a lot." The artillery staff said in confusion.

"What the above means is that these Huns cavalry will use companies as combat units, disperse and attack the specific habitats of the Parthian Kingdom. In this way, the Parthian people will be scattered and exhausted, and in the company size

In terms of firepower duel, they are not as good as us, we can fight a beautiful attack battle. The Huns cavalry are very fast. In this way, our chances of winning are very high." Li Xin analyzed.

"But, sir, there is still a big problem." At this moment, a logistics staff officer said worriedly.

"Logistics supply task, what to do with these logistics supplies? Although the Huns cavalry are very fast, they consume a lot of ammunition after all, especially horse artillery shells. One shot fired will result in one less shot. In this way

, and they are deep into enemy territory. If they cannot withdraw in time, I am worried that their situation will be very dangerous." The logistics staff said worriedly.

"Yeah." Li Xin nodded.

"Perhaps, we can rely on our own methods to solve the problem." Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"Those Dawan people don't have enough offense. They are extremely afraid of the Parthian people. However, we can make them defend. We have a large number of defensive weapons, mines, barbed wire, and sufficient artillery and muskets. I think they can cope with it.

Very mobile Parthian cavalry." Li Xin said.

"But these are not enough. We need them to establish strongholds step by step to support our cavalry. In addition, the biggest purpose of our attack is not to attack the opponent, but to capture a large number of slaves and bring the slaves over. This is what we need most.

Something." Li Xin said.

"However, doing this will pose a great challenge to the survival of the troops." The logistics staff said worriedly.
