When Fang Jun arrived at Baidaokou, the entire mountain pass position had been cleared. Xue Rengui even sent soldiers to drag away the dead animals, and brought snow from a distance not far away to spread a thick layer on the ground.
, and it’s impossible to see that a tragic battle ever took place here.
Xue Rengui welcomed Fang Jun into the camp and said excitedly: "This musket is very convenient during training, and its lethality is not weaker than that of a crossbow. But in actual combat, you will know that its power is even different."
Fan Xiang. If Dadu Shi can escape from Evil Yang Ridge, I will definitely let him taste the taste of three-stage attack!"
Fang Jun smiled.
The power of muskets...where is this?
When primers are developed and bullets loaded in the breech are used, regardless of weather, the power of muskets will be doubled. And with the continuous improvement of gunpowder formulas, there is no need to wait for automatic weapons to appear. The simplest rifle is enough to defeat all bows.
The crossbow was completely swept into the garbage pile, vigorously setting off a storm of hot weapons raging around the world!
Of course, as a time traveler, Fang Jun knows how far and how difficult the road is, but as long as he can lead the Tang Dynasty to realize the power of firearms from top to bottom, he will remain steadfast.
If we promote the development of firearms, one day, the firearms of the Tang Dynasty will lead the entire world, making the Tang Empire forever stand on top of the world!
When food can supply the population explosion, the huge population base will make the Tang Dynasty the world's leader, and coupled with the power of firearms that is unparalleled in the world, who else can rival it?
At that time, we will no longer be worried about the painful disasters that foreign invasion will bring to Chinese civilization, but we will be worried about the possibility that some crazy emperor will try to dominate the world, thereby bringing devastating disasters to various civilizations in the world.
But Fang Jun was also happy to hear about it.
As for the common language of SINOMACH?
Well, Chinese is the most beautiful!
…
Xue Rengui looked at Fang Jun, who was in a trance, and couldn't help but wonder: "Commander, is there something wrong?"
Fang Jun woke up from YY and said: "You have seen with your own eyes the power of firearms. With continuous research and development and improvement, the power will surely be improved to a higher level. It is not surprising that one day they can completely replace weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. I
Those weapons in the past are called cold weapons, and weapons using gunpowder are called hot weapons. I dare to assert that sooner or later, this world will be an era when hot weapons fully dominate! Whoever masters the advanced technology of hot weapons will
If you can remain invincible, you can destroy whoever you see!"
He patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "But things are unpredictable. Before hot weapons can demonstrate their comprehensive superiority over cold weapons, they will be subject to all kinds of slander and criticism, because any reform,
All will definitely trigger resistance from some vested interests. As soldiers, we must have a long-term vision and cannot give up our persistence just because of momentary honor and disgrace, thereby hindering the progress of technology. At all times, we must keep the national interests in mind.
It is supreme and everyone has to fight for it all his life! We must persist and even fight for the national interests at all times!"
In this era, "loyalty to the emperor" is the norm and the noblest virtue. "Patriotism" is not just a slogan. Under feudal rule, "I am the country" is a universal value. "Patriotism" and "loyalty to the emperor"
” are two combined into one.
"Loyalty to the King" means "patriotism".
But in fact, everyone knows that the meaning of a country is its people, territory, and political power.
As for the emperor...
Anyone can do the same thing, as long as there is one.
Even though the emperor shouted "I am the country", knowledgeable people knew that "the world is not a world of one family, but a world of people". Before they encountered the Ming and Qing dynasties who used Neo-Confucianism to launch crazy feudal rule
, the backbone of the scholar is still there, the waist is not bent, even a poor student dares to say to the emperor, "This is the world for everyone," and the emperor will not think there is anything wrong.
The emperor is a symbol of the country and an object that requires allegiance from the world, but it does not represent the country.
However, no one has ever made a statement like "national interests are above all else", which is almost like "rebellious ministers and traitors"...
If the emperor cannot hold the orthodoxy of "I am the country", won't the world be in chaos?
So Xue Rengui's eyes were a little erratic and his expression was a little strange...
How dare you say that!
Fang Jun made a fist with his right hand, knocked on Xue Rengui's breastplate, and said warmly: "Just keep it in your heart. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty be long-lasting and peaceful for thousands of years!"
In his mind, everyone must work hard for the prosperity of the country, including common people, merchants, officials, soldiers, and naturally the emperor.
No one is the master of anyone, and no one can be supreme over the people.
Even if there are one or two, the roots of trouble will inevitably be laid. Even if it relies on tyranny and cruel repressive rule, however long or short it may take, the people's dissatisfaction will eventually be triggered and they will be completely overthrown.
There is history as a guide.
There is no doubt that Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others will become the mainstay of the Tang Empire's military after the older generation of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty gradually wither away, planting a seed in their hearts that "national interests are above all else".
It will make them think about it in their hearts even if they do not make a decisive judgment when the interests of the emperor conflict with the interests of the country, instead of blindly following "foolish loyalty".
Only by allowing military backbones such as Xue Rengui to realize the power of firearms and firmly develop firearms would they not be shelved by some wise and mighty "great emperors" as was the case in the late Ming Dynasty and the entire Qing Dynasty.
If the firearms of the late Ming Dynasty really developed to a certain level of power, even if those "great emperors" were scared to death and feared that their rule would be overthrown, how could they dare to seriously block such sharp weapons?
Xue Rengui said sternly: "Please bear this in mind, general!"
He had seen the power of firearms, but he never thought that Fang Jun's expectations for firearms were so high!
Can it completely replace swords, guns, swords and halberds and become the master of the battlefield?
This makes Xue Rengui somewhat unimaginable...
Could it be that in future wars, soldiers will go into battle carrying muskets, shoot at the enemy from a distance, and then throw a few thunderbolts?
So what kind of battle is there to fight?
The old, weak, women and children can also go into battle to kill the enemy...
However, he paid great attention to Fang Jun's words and resolutely implemented them.
Fang Jun was not only kind to him, but also reduced him to the smallest details. He also admired him wholeheartedly with his jaw-dropping talents and foresight. He regarded every word of Fang Jun as a model.
, keep it in mind.
The two discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of using firearms in actual combat. Although Fang Jun had memories of his previous life, he had a foresight on the applicability of firearms, and the advantages and disadvantages were well known. Xue Rengui also devoted himself to studying firearms tactics.
Fang Jun was also deeply impressed by the opinions he put forward from time to time.
Xue Rengui even gave a deeper analysis of the "three-stage attack"...
"...Muskets are easy to carry and more powerful than crossbows. The shortcoming that restricts them from becoming a regular weapon in the army is that the loading of gunpowder and lead bullets is not as convenient as crossbows. So, Commander-in-Chief, you developed the 'three-stage strike'
The method of warfare is that three people form a group. The front musketeer shoots first, then retreats to the back of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition, and the second soldier steps forward to fire. The three people alternately load and fire, which shortens the original shooting time.
Three times, the efficiency will naturally increase three times!”
With that said, Xue Rengui simply moved the debris on the table and took out the teacups from the tea tray one by one and placed them on the table...
"Such as this, we don't have to stick to the form. The three-stage attack is just an array, and it can be evolved into a six-stage attack or even a nine-stage attack according to local conditions... And I don't think that if we are facing cavalry, infantry holding muskets will also
You can line up in a linear formation, with three or four rows of soldiers, and use three-stage attacks in a gyrating array to maximize your firepower advantage. Then, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they will be wiped out before the gun array, and they will not be able to get close to our position!"
Fang Jun was really surprised this time.
Mother!
Are you a time traveler or am I a time traveler?!
Te Niang's ability to draw inferences from one instance is not small, and she even figured out the tactics of line infantry...
During the Napoleonic era, line infantry tactics were used in the army.
Soldiers at that time were mainly equipped with smoothbore flintlock muskets and sleeve-type bayonets, and marched and fired in two to four rows. Because the inaccuracy of firearms and the difficulty of loading at that time made it particularly important to use them in groups and shoot at closer ranges.
During the era of European colonization of the world, this tactic was widely used and brought devastating disasters to indigenous people around the world.
Because this tactic was neatly arranged when facing the enemy, people in later generations gave it a very vivid and appropriate name——
