A group of people all considered themselves wise men. While thinking in their minds, they frowned and stared at Wang Xuan, wanting to see what surprising ideas Wang Xuan had.
Wang Xuan also looked at them, smiling and saying nothing.
The room suddenly fell into silence...
After a while, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others saw that Wang Xuan had been silent for a long time, and then they realized that this guy was selling a lawsuit again!
"Zai Zhi, please tell me quickly. If you continue like this, I'm afraid they will beat you..." Liu Bei smiled bitterly. This kind of moment is about the life and death of a force and the situation of the world. Everyone here is nervous.
He was going to die, but Wang Xuan was still like this... He was also convinced.
"Give them a chance to use their brains. Their ideas are too rigid." Wang Xuan pouted. Many of the ideas and concepts formed by long-term education are indeed difficult to change in just one or two years.
Counselors: "..."
"In fact, everyone must understand that compared with all other forces in the Han Dynasty, we have entered a new era. We have made progress across the ages in terms of productivity and technology."
"Take war equipment as an example. Six hundred years ago, the number of chariots was still the standard for measuring a country's national strength and war capabilities, and it was the main force on the battlefield. However, with the extensive use of cavalry and the diversification of warfare, chariots gradually withdrew.
has entered the stage of history, does that mean that chariots should never appear again?”
As soon as Wang Xuan's question came out, everyone immediately fell into deep thought. A vague idea emerged in everyone's mind, but they couldn't think clearly for a while.
"I don't think so. We should not limit our thinking and only see infantry and cavalry. We should think about how to make better use of war equipment. The biggest difference between humans and animals lies in the use of tools."
"Take the chariot as an example. It will be of great use in this battle."
"Due to the invention of bearings, we now have popularized four-wheeled carriages. Compared with the two-wheeled chariots of hundreds of years ago, they are larger and more convenient to turn. They basically get rid of the chariots' inability to turn and their dependence on terrain."
"If we remove the horses and chassis that serve as traction power, and have soldiers standing on them to push, we only need one thousand four-wheeled carriages. We can build complex enough terrain on the battlefield at any time, and then cooperate with our elite infantry to form a fortress.
The role it can play, the combat power it can unleash will be unimaginable."
"That's right!" Xi Zhi suddenly lost his sense of decadence and jumped up from his seat, "Our four-wheeled baggage truck is three meters long and one and a half meters wide. The four walls are made of 0.5 centimeter thick steel plates.
It is spliced together, and the simple defense cannot be broken by soldiers. At least five or six people can stand inside. Using it as a fortress, whether it is attacking or defending, it can greatly increase the combat power."
"Archers can be equipped among them. This solves the problem of archers having insufficient protection in close combat and being easily killed by the enemy at close range." Guo Jia also added.
"And you don't have to think too much about the terrain. As long as it's not a mountainous road, there won't be any problems with basic movement. Even if you encounter a pothole, two people can get over it with just one lift." Liu Ye also added.
"The most important thing is that we can also put the baggage vehicles side by side to act like a city wall, and this city wall can be moved. Hehe, then it will not be a question of whether Yuan Shaojun wants to attack the city, but it must be
Siege the city!"
"The most important thing is that with the blessing of cloud energy, the defense power of these baggage vehicles will be greatly improved."
After Wang Xuan pierced this 'membrane' for them, these top wise men immediately thought of so many ways to use it, and there was no need for Wang Xuan to worry about it later.
"How many baggage trucks have we brought?" Xi Zhicai excitedly turned to look at Jian Yong.
"More than four thousand vehicles." Jian Yong said with a smile: "There is no way, transportation on the Yellow River is not very convenient, and there are not many transported here."
Xi Zhicai smiled and pointed at Jian Yong, he was showing off!
Qingzhou's steel production is sufficient, but the only problem that troubles the number of four-wheelers is the manufacturing of bearings.
"We can't use so many. We don't need every soldier to enter the baggage train. The effect will be better if we cooperate with each other."
"Let's not call it a baggage cart. It's too shameless!" Wang Xuan waved his hand to interrupt the excited crowd, "Let's call it a chariot. As for the tactics, it's a coordinated battle between infantry and chariots."
"Yes, we still have to call it a chariot. In fact, this chariot should be designed separately!" Xi Zhicai shook his head with some regret, then thought of something else, turned to look at Wang Xuan and asked: "Zai Zhi, what do you think?
It shouldn’t be something new now, why didn’t we say it before, if we had designed and trained it earlier, wouldn’t we be more comfortable dealing with this situation now?”
"Of course it's not a new idea. This thing, or something better than this, has been in my mind for a long time." As he said this, Wang Xuan tapped his temple.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Guo Jia asked strangely.
Others were also confused and looked at Wang Xuan.
"What are you talking about? This kind of thing is too simple. It's just a layer of membrane. As long as we dare to use it once, everyone in the world can learn it immediately!"
Wang Xuan looked at everyone angrily. This is not an era that pays attention to patents. Now the technology of four-wheeled carriages has been learned by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others long ago. It is just that the bearing manufacturing is too complicated.
It has not become popular on a large scale, but through various channels, there are many four-wheeled carriages flowing out of Qingzhou.
Of course, even modern patent protection is of no use. When it comes to war equipment, I just imitated it and plagiarized it. As much as I like it!
If you don't like it, come and fuck me!
After being reminded by Wang Xuan, everyone suddenly realized that indeed, this thing is too simple. Even if the steel production of others is not as good as others, the wooden boards can be made after using it, but it is just a little bulkier.
A picture appeared in everyone's mind. Tens of thousands of tanks were facing each other on the battlefield. They could be repaired or provided with food and drink at any time. The battle lasted for several days. In the end, neither side suffered much damage. Just think about it,
I can't help but feel the pain in my head.
If new weapons that can restrain tanks are not developed by then... then... this battle will be fought.
"If that's the case, why are you thinking of taking it out now?" Guo Jia asked in confusion.
"After this battle is over, the entire north of the river plus Qingzhou and half of Xuzhou will be ours. It can be said that most of the world's essence is in our hands, so it is worthwhile to get some dry goods."
"In addition, after occupying the north, we will face the threat of the prairie people, and our plan is to continue attacking towards the north. However, the rear chariot will become a weapon against the prairie people. If we can't hide it, we might as well take it.
Come out and fight to decide the outcome!" Wang Xuan spread his hands and said.
