Chapter 736 At least there is hope

Chapter 736: At least there is hope

We are all adults, so it is not strange for us to speak harsh words for our respective positions.

But we also need to pay attention to a basic law.

For a well-trained cavalry, the distance of fifty steps is really just a few blinks of an eye.

What's more, the Liao cavalry is unparalleled in the world.

In the past, Jin Guoneng could compete with the Liao State, but in recent decades, with the rise of the Liao State's national power, after annexing several other tribes and occupying more fertile grasslands, even the Jin State is no longer the opponent of the Liao State.

.

Not to mention the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, they basically just followed the Liao and Jin countries to eat dust.

But so what if it's faster.

The tactical idea of ​​three rows of continuous fire, coupled with the weapon in Li Chen's hand that should not have appeared in this era, is a powerful weapon that can directly sweep all the prairie cavalry.

Yelu Guzanqi's expression was ugly, which was understandable.

Seeing that his intimidation had worked, Li Chen was very satisfied.

He waved his hand and had the frightened Yelu Guzanqi taken away.

Of course, Li Chen didn't break his promise on the food on the table, otherwise he would have to send Yelu Guzanqi away with two steamed buns a day, and when the Liao Kingdom came to pick him up, he would really have to go back with Yelu Guzanqi's skeleton.

Yelu Guzanqi left with complicated thoughts, but Su Zhenting couldn't help it anymore.

"Your Highness, this thing, this thing is truly a divine weapon!"

Su Zhenting's tactical literacy was no worse than anyone else's, and his familiarity with ancient warfare surpassed Li Chen's by countless ways.

So he could see at a glance what a huge impact the weapons in Li Chen's hands and the new tactics just proposed would have on the war.

But Li Chen waved his hand and poured cold water on him.

"General, don't be too optimistic."

"It's extremely troublesome to make this thing. Now it can only be made by hand. Even the most skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry will have to work for ten days and a half to make one. Only Song Yingxing can handle the fine details.

, such as the rifling in the barrel of the gun and the production of projectiles, which not only consume money, but also consume people."

"Those things just now were just deliberately shown to Yelu Gu. If he knows about it, the Liao Kingdom will also know about it. If the Liao Kingdom is more afraid, the greater Qin will be safer."

"In the future, when the manufacturing process is improved, this thing will be possible to become popular."

Li Chen didn't know much about firearms, but he also knew that the rifling was an extremely fine craft.

Otherwise, in his previous life, the prototype of a gun would have appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties but could not be developed. The rifling was a huge difficulty.

There is no basic machine industry, and all the rifling is produced by manual hand rubbing. Not only is it difficult to ensure production standards, but even if it is barely produced, it will also lead to huge differences in the ballistic stability of the guns.

This is also the reason why Song Yingxing delayed delivery for several days.

Su Zhenting's hot blood was immediately calmed down by this basin of cold water.

But he still stared at the gun in Li Chen's hand with bright eyes. Although it was extremely difficult and impossible to popularize at present, at least there was a hope for him to completely eliminate the prairie cavalry.

The Qin Empire had been waiting for this hope for more than three hundred years.

Even before the Qin Empire, the Central Plains dynasties that suffered deeply from the grassland nomads had never been completely resolved.

But now, there is hope.

"Your Highness, no matter what, please allocate a group of guns to me. I want to train a group of gunmen first."
