The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Spain, New Carthage. It was rare for Levi not to get drunk. But the climate here was enough to make it difficult for him to get drunk. It was very cold here, and even the Carthaginian city of New Carthage couldn't do it.

Their room was as warm as spring, which made it difficult for them to adapt to such a situation when they were just used to North Africa and suddenly came here to be cold and damp.

"Ache." Levi was wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the fire pot. He felt like he was going to catch a cold. This was not good news for him. He could only complain that the conditions here were too harsh. Then he felt that he should write

Something, so he found his notebook and pen and started recording everything here.

"The city of New Carthage is a very important stronghold for the Carthaginians in Spain. It is an important stronghold for controlling the Spanish colony. There are a large number of supplementary soldiers and weapons stored here. If they lose it here, they will

I will lose everything." Levi wrote. He seemed not to be in a writing state for a while, but he was slowly adjusting his writing state in order to write a better report.

"The commander here is called Hamil, which is a very long Carthaginian name. That's all I know. Maybe there's something wrong with my translation. Anyway, this is their highest commander here. There are very few Carthaginian soldiers here.

There are less than 7,000 people, but there are many mercenaries. Most of them come from surrounding small tribes and city-states. They have a strong mercenary nature. It seems that most of them are temporary militias and are not standing armies. Spain

There are too many such tribes around. I know there are Celts, Vasas, etc. None of them have a good impression of Carthage. I heard that there have been many conflicts between the two sides. I hope this kind of conflict will happen.

Solve it through diplomacy." Levi moved his shoulders. He felt that writing was also a good thing, and he began to become stable.

"Those mercenaries used backward cold weapons. They were equipped with daggers, shields, bows and arrows. The cavalry troops did not have stirrups. Even among the Carthage cavalry troops, stirrups were not fully popularized. Only commanders

, only communication soldiers use such things, but some cavalry have begun to accept stirrups. Because they found that with stirrups, they can freely wield their short swords. Some wealthy cavalry will use long swords or sabers,

These weapons come from the State of Zhao. This is already the standard equipment of the cavalry troops of the State of Zhao. They only equip it. However, the number of muskets equipped by the cavalry is very limited, and they are still old-fashioned flintlock muskets. If they are not properly maintained, they will be difficult to fire.

But these are sufficient for these cavalry units, because their opponents lack enough cavalry units to deal with highly mobile cavalry units," Livy wrote.

"The Carthaginian army is equipped with a large number of flintlock muskets and a certain number of breech-loading rifles. That equipment is only available to the commander's personal guards. Most of the pistols are concentrated among the elite troops. It seems that their equipment

The situation has not improved much. Heavy artillery is regarded as a weapon for defense, but it is extremely unrealistic for offense. Because the artillery they import are all extremely heavy smoothbore cannons, including a lightweight bronze five-inch smoothbore cannon.

, in our opinion, this kind of artillery has already entered the museum. But they are still in use. The worst thing is the road condition of Carthage. They do not have relatively developed roads, and it becomes difficult to maneuver the artillery. This

It takes a lot of force to pull them out of the bumpy road, and soldiers usually spend a lot of their energy doing such a thing, which is not a good thing." Livy said. The Carthaginian army,

The army, in particular, is still in a state of transition between cold weapons and weapons. The Carthaginian army cannot produce large-scale muskets. The muskets are just sounds and are more powerful than the traditional cold weapon army.

With their sophisticated tribal armed forces, they had great advantages, but even so, the Carthaginian army still had big problems.

They are still in a mixed situation of spearmen and musketeers. The musketeers are generally not equipped with bayonets. They think this thing is of little use. They spend less money to buy bayonets and buy many rounds of bullets. This results in the musketeers only being able to carry out long-distance operations. Shooting from a distance, and if the distance is too close, they will completely collapse. Because they can't fight at all, or they can use their short swords, but most of the battles here are equipped with shields, which allows them to only use The short sword is at a huge disadvantage. The short sword cannot cause absolutely effective damage to the shield during combat. Except for the musket, the firing rate of the musket is too slow.

In other words, the Carthaginians have not yet integrated muskets well in tactics. In other words, the Carthaginians have not even used musket tactics. In addition, the rifles lack enough bayonets, which makes them It became very disadvantageous in melee combat. The musketeers lacked enough melee capabilities. The only failure was the artillery. How could the musketeers have no artillery? The musketeers without artillery support would be very bad. Li Wei used Zhao Guo to develop Looking at the Carthaginian army's mileage, he believed that the army would have too many problems.

"The Carthaginian army's logistical supplies are also very poor. Their supplies mainly come from their own plunder, but there is a huge problem in doing so, that is, the supply problem of the musketeers. Because food, clothing and other things can Getting supplements from other places is how they usually solve the problem of military pay. However, ammunition, how to solve the problem of ammunition, modern warfare has fully demonstrated that without a developed supply system, everything will be difficult to unfold. In such a situation Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to replenish them. Therefore, under such circumstances, the development path of Carthage, or in other words, this greatly limits the possibility of the development of Carthage's use of muskets. Only by changing these can Taiji people completely improve their development potential, so under such circumstances, what they need to do is to change this style as much as possible." Levi wrote in his notebook Dao. Carthage has many problems. Generally speaking, Carthage is far behind any Central Plains army in time. They have to carry out too many military reforms. And Hannibal himself may have realized this. point, but how to change it, their current power is still very weak. In short, this is a systemic engineering problem.

Yuezhi border, Luqa. This place used to belong to Indy, but now it is occupied by the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi people did this to extend their border protection. Perhaps, only more land can guarantee them of safety.

Life here is very peaceful, so peaceful that it makes people feel impatient. Fifty sentries of the Yuezhi army are stationed here, and they are managed by a second lieutenant. The second lieutenant is over forty years old. He is an old second lieutenant.

On this day, the weather was very good, and it didn’t look like anything special. There was little rain here, and few people paid much attention to the situation here. The situation here is dominated by Indians, who believe in various religions, including the Goddess Sect. There is a huge market, and the Yuezhi soldiers are used to it. If the local people do not believe in some religions, they think something will happen. But they soon got it wrong.

With a "boom", a huge explosion came, and billowing black smoke suddenly rose into the sky, forming a dark mushroom cloud. The Yuezhi people's outpost was attacked, and a huge explosion killed the outpost.

The Yuezhi sentries didn't know how many people inside survived, but they must have been attacked, because the mushroom cloud was still there. The sentries immediately entered a fighting state, and then some crazy cultists were discovered locally and attacked them, and then

They fought back. Why were they believers? Because they were holding torches. It was still daytime. Some of them were wearing white robes with fire symbols on them. Isn’t it clear? It might be Zoroastrianism, or a type of Holy Fire Cult. In short, they

They were attacked. Then they sent telegrams to their superiors to request support, and then reported the telegrams level by level. By the time of the meeting of Yuezhi cabinet ministers, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Our recent troops have responded, but their rescue operations are very slow. They can only dispatch one platoon of troops because our military strength in the border areas is already weak. If our border is attacked, we cannot

Excluded, we were attacked in other places. Therefore, I think it is very worthwhile for us to strengthen local defense." The Minister of Defense said.

"The current problem is not the attack, but the border. The entire border is falling into a disaster. I feel that whether it is the Zoroastrian Cult of Yuezhi or the Holy Fire Cult of Indy, they are targeting us. This

It means that we have to pay a higher price to kill them. We must strengthen our army soldiers to intervene in this matter." The Army Minister said worriedly.

"Well, both of them are anti-government elements. They both pose a great threat to us. This threat still exists. This is a very unfavorable situation for us. We cannot let this

If the situation continues, our Yuezhi will be in complete chaos," the Finance Minister said.

"Then we send troops, but before that, we should get the support of the people of Qin. This is a diplomatic procedure. That's it." The Prime Minister concluded. Regarding the issue of sending troops, the cabinet has the right to make decisions, but in the end,

The decision is still made by the people of Qin. If the people of Qin object, they have nothing to say.
