The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

The Zhao State was forced to mix and match in this way. The Zhao State did not master the barrel manufacturing technology, and the artillery manufacturing technology could not keep up. What was even worse was that their gunpowder was imported from the Qin State. And the Qin State

A great deal of manipulation was done to the gunpowder. The gunpowder equipped by the Qin State was black gunpowder in a normal proportion. However, the gunpowder equipped by the State of Zhao was a gunpowder with a great deal of manipulation. For example, the ingredients of sulfur and charcoal accounted for 100%.

sixty.

The quality of gunpowder cannot be compared with the granular gunpowder of the Qin State. The Qin State itself uses granular gunpowder, which burns quickly. However, the Zhao State still uses powdered gunpowder. The burning speed and degree of burning are not as good as those of the Qin State.

Compared with China's granular gunpowder, this is also an important reason why Zhao State imported a large number of muskets. Because of the large amount of powder residue and lack of reasonable wiping, many scrapped guns were found.

In comparison, the Qin State itself took very good care of its muskets. Officers often supervised the soldiers to clean their muskets. Moreover, in the training of soldiers, maintaining firearms is a very important training subject. The Zhao army did not have the series of skills of the Qin army.

Operational specifications. They can only explore by themselves. Moreover, the education methods are also very backward. Soldiers' maintenance of weapons is far less than that of soldiers holding cold weapons. Those soldiers also know how to polish their weapons frequently. And those holding cold weapons

Soldiers with muskets simply don't know how to maintain them.

In comparison, there is the new army of the Yan State. They replaced a large number of Qin's muskets and artillery. They fully accepted and learned according to the example of the Qin Army.

From food to infantry drills, everything was learned from the Qin Army. The Qin Army non-commissioned officers also wanted to save trouble, so they used the Qin Army's first infantry combat manual as a teaching material. This was the Qin Army's first relatively standardized infantry combat manual.

The Space Force published a book before. However, that book was mainly to popularize aviation knowledge and did not have much specific content. After the Army saw the Space Force's manual, it also began to compile it on its own.

The reason why the manual became popular is because of the education work of popularizing writing in the army and the circulation of newspapers in the army. The soldiers began to learn without knowing it. They often read newspapers to deepen their learning.

Ability. The compilation of the manual is based on the summary of the Qin Army's actual wars, and it has great practical significance.

For example, some detailed issues include the maintenance of guns. Among them, it is stipulated that soldiers holding flintlock guns must frequently replace flints within three days. Also, lubricate the barrels, check their guns before battle, etc. These,

I'm afraid Zhao Jun doesn't even have it.

With the help of the Qin Army, the Yan Army had three mixed divisions with a total of 100,000 people. Its combat effectiveness has surpassed the Zhao Army. To give an example, the Qin Army's gun volley tactics require soldiers to muster a lot of courage to reach the enemy at fifty.

Within one step. Because this distance can kill enemies on a large scale. Therefore, this requires soldiers to have very strong psychological quality.

To this end, Tu Sui, who served as the chief instructor of the Yan Army, harshly used black gunpowder with a strong explosive effect as the explosive point. He asked the Yan Army soldiers to advance in an orderly queue. On their way forward, either in front or behind.

Either left or right. Explosion. The effect of the explosion suddenly exposed the psychological quality of the Yan army soldiers.

The shortcomings of poor quality come from this. For this reason, such training is often carried out, and cruel corporal punishment is carried out for those soldiers who are the first to escape. Usually it is carried out by a company. Each person must severely punish the soldier with a stick.

Or reduce their military pay but not their meals. This is immoral.

The strictness of military discipline caused these soldiers to strictly abide by military discipline. Even if they encountered an explosion, they would no longer retreat or run away. Instead, they would still maintain their formation seriously.

The officers of the Yan Army also set up short-term training courses for officers. Those who failed to pass the test were all sent back to become soldiers. Only those who bravely kept fighting could become officers.

Under such training, the overall level of the Yan army has been greatly improved. The improvement in combat effectiveness also comes from the continuous supplies of materials provided by the Qin State. For example, their artillery. An artillery can be crazy regardless of the number of shells.

The quality of firing and artillery has also been greatly improved under the guidance of Qin Army non-commissioned officers.

During the exercise in the north, the main force was not the cavalry of the Qin Army, but the Yan Army. The three divisions of the Yan Army showed tenacious combat effectiveness.

The artillery firing rhythm is very fast. The firing speed is very fast. The accuracy has been greatly improved. Their artillery is equipped with various shells, especially grenades, which require high artillery technical requirements due to the need to measure distance. The Qin army has

This is also a professor without reservation.

The infantry phalanx advances in rows and rows in battalion units. Only when they get fifty steps in front of the enemy will they shout orders from their superiors and fire.

"Prepare."

"Raise the gun."

"Shoot." A series of actions are executed neatly.

The effect of volley shooting is very good. It is like a row of lightning and thunder, smashing those targets to the ground.

Compared with the exercises of Qin Army and Yan Army, Zhao Army's exercises were a bit shabby.

Their artillery can only fire five rounds each, and the number is very small. In the battle formation, there are only a few. After firing, the cavalry will charge. The infantry behind them will run around like sheep. In this way,

Just to avoid the fierce bombardment of the opponent's artillery.

The most important thing is that the cavalry attacked after the artillery was fired. The coordination was very poor. This was because the quality of the gun barrels declined rapidly, causing some experienced artillerymen to be killed. And these artillerymen had no time to educate the next batch of artillerymen.

Just die. Artillery is often a temporary supplement to the infantry. The replenishment speed is very fast. The poor shooting level of the artillery leads to the only way to adopt this approach between cooperation.

The musketeers in the infantry are the same as the artillery. When they fight, they can only fire once. Because they only have five rounds of ammunition in total. The muskets are expensive. These five rounds of ammunition are also given as gifts. Unlike before, the musketeers

The quantity is very small. The bullet tube is enough. But

It was the rapid expansion of musketeers that led to a shortage of bullets. Zhao's funds were very limited. They suffered a lot in foreign trade. They used real money and silver to buy muskets, but they could not use other commodities to buy these real money.

flow back to their own country.

The trade losses made it impossible for their armaments to undergo large-scale changes like those of Qin and Yan. In the final analysis, such a shabby military exercise was caused by Zhao himself. The reason is that his comprehensive national strength

Not good.

Li Mu's ability to conduct the exercise like this is considered to be the best use of his talents. However, newspaper reports called Zhao Jun a "begging army."
