The Mini rifles of the Qingshan Patrol Camp are all modified from Fuyuan muskets. From the appearance, it is absolutely impossible to tell that this is a rifled gun. At the same time, it is not known to check whether each soldier's musket is rifled.
gun.
Therefore, although most people know that Qingshan Patrol Camp is equipped with many rifled guns, they never know that everyone in Qingshan Patrol Camp is equipped with rifled guns. They also think that most of the soldiers in Qingshan Patrol Camp are equipped with smoothbore guns.
Where's the gun?
At the same time, what they didn't even know was that the bullets fired by these rifled guns were all special Mini bullets.
Lin Ziran strictly prohibited the soldiers from leaking Mini bullets in order to delay the leakage of the news as much as possible.
It was impossible to hide it forever, he just wanted to hide it for a while.
The Wu Guanlin in front of me just doesn't know the existence of mini bullets!
Faced with Wu Guanlin's doubts, Lin Ziran did not hide anything, but directly confessed: "The muskets currently assigned to all the soldiers in our Qingshan Patrol Battalion are rifled guns!"
After hearing Lin Ziran's personal admission, Wu Guanlin frowned slightly. The situation was worse than he had guessed. He thought that although there were a large number of hunters in the Qingshan patrol camp, not everyone was a hunter.
Now Lin Ziran said that everyone was equipped with rifled guns.
This is not a good sign!
A force composed purely of hunters, they knew with their toes that once they entered the battlefield, they would be defeated in a matter of minutes.
After pondering for a few seconds, Wu Guanlin said: "Although I have just arrived at this humble position, logically speaking I shouldn't interfere in these matters, but since I have joined your service and received your salary, I dare to say a few words!"
At this time, Lin Ziran didn't know what Wu Guanlin wanted to do, so he immediately said: "Instructor Wu, it doesn't matter if you say so!"
Wu Guanlin said: "Sir, you should also know that the hunting soldiers equipped with rifled guns have a history of hundreds of years. As early as the Heng'ao War, both Daheng and the Orissa Empire in the south were
There are a lot of hunters equipped, and now the troops in various vassal towns are also widely equipped with hunters, but the overall proportion of hunters in the army is very small!"
"It is true that hunters equipped with rifled guns have the advantage of sniping enemies from long distances and can play a huge role when used properly on the battlefield. However, they have shortcomings such as slow loading speed, high cost, and the need for specially made bullets.
This is an important reason that led to the large-scale popularization of rifled guns, especially the slow loading speed, which destined the Jaeger to be a long-distance surprise attack unit and cannot be used in head-on confrontations."
"If our patrol battalion is equipped with some hunters, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless. But if it is assigned too many, and even the entire army is made up of hunters, I'm sorry to Guanlin, this is the way to defeat!"
After Wu Guanlin said these words, he felt much better. Then his new boss, Lin Ziran, suddenly realized it and was convinced by him, so he said, "Mr. You are a great talent."
Or maybe he got angry and said something like "you don't know shit".
Many vassals and towns are able to do the former. Magnanimity refers to people who can sincerely accept opinions, correct mistakes when they know they are wrong, be tolerant of others, and can achieve great things in the end. Of course, there are also a small number of fools who follow what others say.
There are also many vassals and towns in the latter who do this. Most of them are stubborn and self-confident people who think that they are the sons of destiny. The final results are often very tragic.
The Daheng Dynasty had been in civil strife for decades. Almost every year, many vassal towns appeared, and then many vassal towns disappeared at the same time.
In so many feudal towns, there are naturally all kinds of people.
Wu Guanlin didn't know what kind of person Lin Ziran was, but he hoped that Lin Ziran was the former.
In the past few years, he has been looking for jobs everywhere. To be honest, Wu Guanlin himself has some doubts about whether he is suffering from bad luck. Otherwise, how could he have ended up like this?
A high-achieving student who graduated first in the infantry department of Luohai Military Academy and was the former commander of the Luohai Navy actually went to work as a sergeant instructor in a militia in a remote place. He would make millions of people in Nanhai Prefecture laugh out loud.
However, if it doesn't take long for Lin Ziran to be defeated and killed, I'm afraid that all the people of Daheng will be laughing their teeth off by then.
Even if he was thinking ahead for his own future, Wu Guanlin still hoped that Lin Ziran would be a rational person, so he would not have any ambitions and abilities, but at least he would know how to accept the sincere opinions of his subordinates.
It is a pity that Wu Guanlin's life experience does not have much effect in the small town of Qingshan.
Because Lin Ziran didn't say anything like Mr. Wu, you are so awesome and powerful.
Not to mention getting angry and yelling that you know nothing.
Instead, look at him with a smile!
This kind of smiling expression makes Wu Guanlin look very weird. He has already said it all. What does it mean that Lin Ziran is just smiling?
In fact, Lin Ziran did not expect that Wu Guanlin would raise this issue at first, because in Lin Ziran's view, it was not a problem at all.
Because his Qingshan Patrol Battalion is equipped with mini rifles, not the old-fashioned rifled guns that are commonly equipped in various vassal towns now. The kind that takes several minutes to reload, and the effective range is only two to three hundred meters, and the bullets are still
It requires special bullets, which is very troublesome.
As for the Mini rifle, it is much simpler. The key secret is not even the gun itself, but the bullet.
As for the musket, it's actually just a rifled version of the Fuyuan musket.
However, the bullet is a very special hollow conical bullet. The combination of this bullet and the rifling makes it a complete Mini rifle.
But the Wu Guanlin in front of him probably didn't know that.
Lin Ziran did not directly explain anything to Wu Guanlin, but instead raised a question: "If the rifled guns assigned to the hunters of our Qingshan Patrol Battalion can achieve the same rate of fire as the muskets, then according to Instructor Wu,
Now, what kind of infantry tactics should be used? Is it line tactics, skirmishing tactics, or other tactics?"
Rather than explaining to Wu Guanlin what a Mini rifle was, Lin Ziran paid more attention to whether Wu Guanlin could bring about some changes in his tactics.
He knew that this man graduated from Luo Hai Military Academy and had served in the regular army. Such a regular officer must have a better understanding of tactics than he, a half-assed fellow, and the farmers and bandits under his command.
The officers were even more profound.
He just arrived yesterday, but Lin Ziran didn't have time to ask him.
But now, since he came to the door early in the morning and raised a lot of concerns about the hunters, Lin Ziran had the idea of ​​conducting an on-site assessment of him.
Wu Guanlin failed to catch up with Lin Ziran's change of topic in time. He was slightly stunned at first, but soon said: "The firing rate of rifled guns and smoothbore guns is the same? This is impossible!"
