The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Aim at the official over there." A man in tattered clothes and with his face covered in mud lay behind a big tree and took aim with a musket.

A small group of Yan troops escorting supplies passed by on the road. They spread out in a marching formation and made no preparations for a sneak attack.

"Bang", a gunshot rang out, and the leading officer was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. The casualties were unknown.

"Bang, bang," then continuous gunshots rang out, and the Yan army's formation suddenly became chaotic. Everyone began to look for cover, and those who were a little brave shot everywhere, but they just used up the bullets in their guns to fill their hearts. fear.

"Let's go, let's go quickly," at this time some people began to leave quietly from behind the big tree.

This scene was often staged in the "occupied areas" of Qi State. With the large influx of muskets, gunpowder weapons began to replace traditional cold weapons. Gunpowder weapons began to increase in power and distance, providing a large living space for guerrilla warfare.

The frontline fighting entered a stalemate stage, and neither side was able to move forward further. Especially with the beginning of trench warfare, neither side was able to attack the other side.

There is another important reason, that is, the weapons gap between the two sides has narrowed. Qin's "surplus materials" have begun to flow into the six countries in large quantities. Qin has manufactured millions of muskets of various calibers, as well as thousands of various types of guns. Old artillery and even old-fashioned miniguns have become antiques. The new weapons of the Qin State have been widely popularized. Rotary pull-type striker rifles have begun to be mass-produced. Due to the war, the Western Regions did not have large-scale equipment, but the Northern Army did. Large-scale reloading, this .35-caliber rifle was officially named Qin Yi-style rifle. This is a standard rifle. .35-caliber became the standard caliber. This gun increased the rate of fire on a large scale, but a large number of old-fashioned rifles have retreated. Come down.

The use of the Qin-type rifle and the termination of the rifle modification plan. The Qin State stopped the swing door rifle modification plan because it is much cheaper to build a new rifle than to modify one.

Some parts of the new rifle are made by stamping, while the old rifle requires some manual cutting technology. There is a big gap between the two, and there is also a big gap in the use of gunpowder. The propellant begins to use double-base charges, and the firing cap also uses new Agents, and some old-fashioned rifles need to load propellant by themselves, or fire, or use gunpowder to fix the ammunition.

In short, these old-fashioned rifles have become history. These rifles were originally planned to be returned to the factory for destruction, but it would be too wasteful to do so. The cost of recycling, transportation costs, and decomposition before being returned to the furnace. The butts and handguards are all in good condition. It is made of peach wood, and the barrel can be recycled to smelt steel, so the butt and handguard can only be used to burn fire, which is really a waste.

The arms dealers of the Zhao State saw business opportunities. They bought weapons from the Qin State's weapons recycling depot. Even the bullets were purchased by the box at a high price, and then sold them to the Qi State, which was prone to wars, and the Chu State, which was renovating weapons and equipment. , Wei State, arms smuggling is black income, and the local state government tax department also turns a blind eye, because if they want to increase local income, they must have viable projects. Arms smuggling has become a pillar industry, with a large number of Old-fashioned rifles began to be resold in batches, and everything from muzzle-loading rifles to live-door rifles began to enter these countries on a large scale.

Guns are the only product of Qin's industrial products that has a long-term strong demand among Qin and South Korea's manufactured products.

With the large-scale influx of muskets and rifles from the Qin State, the weapons needs of the above countries were greatly met. This suppressed the development of muskets in these countries. Not only muskets and rifles, but also some artillery entered these countries. , as the quantity increases, the prices of these artillery pieces also tend to be reasonable.

Under such influence, the Qi State, which was satisfied with its weapons, turned its attention to the "occupied areas" there. They began to distribute weapons, give a certain amount of money, and issue blank checks for land.

Tian Zhan recruited a group of dead soldiers without hesitation. Swordsmen went into the rear to organize guerrillas. The muskets were easy to operate, and the live door rifles were hit and run. This harassment tactic began to rise in the areas occupied by the Yan army.

At this time, the Yan army's weapons and equipment had lagged behind their opponents. They did not have a single live-door rifle or fixed ammunition. Even the logistics supplies were sold to the opponent at a low price near the shelf life in Qin's warehouse. Even expired food There was a lot of buying.

The production dates of these food supplies were wiped off in advance, and some were obviously rotten. But for such supplies, King Yan thought it was very reasonable to purchase them and then transport them to the front line.

This is to save a lot of money from military expenditures to build large palaces. Palaces made of reinforced concrete can easily be built as high as five stories, and the construction period is greatly shortened. In order to meet the requirements of solidity, a kind of anti-shock cement was invented , this kind of cement has the function of self-repair, and this kind of cement first appeared in Hagia Sophia in later history.

The King of Yan did not care about money for his own enjoyment, but he was extremely demanding of his army. More and more soldiers were dying of diarrhea on the front line, and morale was so low that it was uncontrollable.

The emergence of guerrillas is accelerating the collapse of morale, and it is Qin that maintains this morale for a short period of time. Qin supports air power, supplies, and medical services in the name of aid. This also comes at a cost. Qin exchanges With remaining chemical bottles, this support temporarily alleviated the accelerating morale collapse of the guerrillas.

The war continued, and the appearance of the guerrillas made the Yan army very anxious. The lack of supplies and the constant harassment of the guerrillas made the Yan army make irrational actions. As long as they found out that someone in a village was attacking the Yan army, they would immediately Surrounding the entire village and threatening to kill everyone, this actually happened.

Nanli Village was massacred because of the attack on Yan's army. All thirty families in the village were killed, and all the women were insulted and killed. This incident was reported by Qin State reporters. Yan State took Qin State's aid into account and carried out treatment for those involved. Shot to death, but the impact continues to ferment.

The occurrence of the Nanli incident aroused the resistance of the Qi people, especially the key members of the guerrillas who took advantage of the incident, and their ranks began to expand.

More and more attacks occurred, and the rear became more and more unstable, but they were unable to take action because Qin reporters used their cameras to take pictures all the time, even at night, and they didn't know where their news came from. It is more sensitive than a dog. As everyone knows, the military in Qin State is also seriously under the pressure of public opinion, not to mention your Yan State. The Yan army has its own share of being beaten.
