Da Qin: The First Emperor was reborn and made me the crown prince at the beginning

Chapter 261

On the other hand, there have also been major changes here.

After the steelmaking and black powder technology were mature, under the guidance of Ying Chen, the first flintlock pistol in Daqin finally came out.

In fact, there has always been a question when firearms could be fully developed to the extent of later generations.

That is, compared to long-range attacks such as bows and arrows, the power and range of firearms are not strong.

It should be noted here that the range of ancient bows and arrows, excluding those famous generals with great strength, is basically a distance of 120 meters.

Basically, even the arquebus from around the 16th century was able to reach a distance of about 100 meters and have lethal power.

However, the destructive power of muskets and bows and arrows is not the same.

Generally speaking, as long as the bow and arrow do not involve vital points, the opponent will still have attack power.

Therefore, many famous generals in ancient times will have dozens of arrows in their bodies and can continue to fight.

However, no one has ever dared to say that they have been shot dozens of times without falling to the ground.

It is because the power of the musket, one shot, is enough to shatter the enemy's armor at a distance of 100 meters.

And the power of the bow and arrow, when facing 20 enemy armor, seems a little weak.

And there is a place for the musket to be powerful.

That's the projectile of the musket, which is made of lead.

And you know, lead is toxic.

Generally speaking, if a person is shot with a bow and arrow, as long as it is not tetanus, it is not attacked to the vital point, and it can basically survive.

And if you get hit by a buckshot, it's basically cold.

And it is embodied in specific operations.

The Yongle Emperor's five expeditions to Mobei, with the Shenji Battalion as the main force, repeatedly defeated tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Mongols in the wilderness decisive battles.

You know, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry if they were in the west, it would be enough to destroy the vast majority of countries.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, once compared the advantages and disadvantages of these two weapons.

Qi Jiguang once said: at a distance of 80 steps (120,130 meters). The arquebus shot at the chest target six or seven times out of ten. And it's good to have two or three in the bow and arrow.

And penetrating, Qi Jiguang once tried to bread cotton outside the steel. That is, the so-called Mianli Gang. But it was also not able to withstand the fire of muskets.

So it was at that time that Qi Jiguang promoted firearms to the whole army.

And now, under the guidance of Yingchen, Daqin has invented not an arquebus, but a flintlock pistol that is more powerful than an arquebus.

What's even more terrifying is that because of Yingchen, the cross-era invention of rifling was also invented by Yingchen.

These, the attack range of this flintlock pistol, can increase by more than a star and a half.

If there is no rifling, the flintlock attack distance is only about 100 meters.

Then the breech gun engraved with rifling, then the attack distance is mainly increased by at least three times.

And if the bow and arrow want to shoot a distance of 300 meters, I am afraid that even famous generals like Lu Bu and Xiang Yu can do it, I can't say for sure.

And no matter in any era, the attack of weapons with a longer attack range, the blow to a weapon with a shorter attack range, is almost a dimensionality reduction strike!

Due to the urgency of time, this time, Yingchen only made 5,000 breech guns.

Of course, in addition to this thing, there is artillery.

Yingchen once took this cannon and tried its power.

One shot went down, and basically within a radius of three meters, there were no bones left!

And this time, Yingchen built fifty cannons.

In this regard, Yingchen directly recruited 10,000 people to form the first Shenji battalion of Daqin.

Of these, 5,000 musketeers, 5,000 artillerymen.

This force, together with the 30,000 Beiwei Army, formed a strategic mobile force of Great Qin.

Once the war is unfavorable, Yingchen will put these 40,000 troops into the battlefield as quickly as possible.

According to Yingchen's estimate, these 40,000 troops, even in the face of the siege of 200,000 cavalry, can defeat them at an extremely fast speed.

The power of queuing up to be shot is beyond the imagination of people in this modern era.

In this regard, Daqin's side has made a strategic deployment.

And this time, it was the three great governors of Great Qin who joined forces to fight.

However, because they have equal status, there is no priority in this battle.

It's basically a separate battle. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

But the five armies are not without any connection with each other.

Long before the war, Yue Fei, Li Xin and Meng Tian held an alliance in Yunzhong County.

Then he took out the Eagle Falcon unit that Yingchen had trained.

Even if there is an extreme situation, the other wrongs can know the situation of the other troops in a day.

When Daqin's army moved, the first thing to do was the scouts of Daqin and the spies of the Huns who began the initial confrontation.

In the past two years, under the construction of Yingchen, the strength of the Great Qin army has improved rapidly.

Especially in the case of having the three treasures of the cavalry.

And because Yingchen improved the steelmaking technique, the coverage rate of iron armor in the Great Qin army at this time has been greatly improved.

And scouts have been elite soldiers since ancient times.

So in such an exchange, the Hun spies were dumbfounded.

Because of these scouts of Great Qin, they simply made them feel powerless.

Great Qin's bow and arrow involved a distance of twenty meters more than them, and he was wearing iron armor, so even if he was occasionally shot by a bow and arrow, he would not be too seriously injured.

And on their side, except for those Hun nobles, they basically wore some animal skins as protection.

In this way, the gap between offense and defense is extremely obvious.

Some of the scouts on Daqin's side still have combat ability even if they are hit by a few arrows.

And that half, if the Huns were shot by the arrows of the Great Qin scouts, they would basically lose most of their combat capability.

At this point, this confrontation between the Great Qin scouts and the Xiongnu spies ended in the heyday of the Great Qin scouts.

At the cost of dozens of casualties, the Great Qin scouts wiped out nearly hundreds of spies of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

The exchange ratio of casualties reached ten to one!

In this way, the leaders of both sides basically have an understanding of each other's combat power.

Without a word, Mao Dun will not fight hard with the Qin army at a critical moment!

"Withdraw!"

With Mao Dun's order, the entire Xiongnu tribes and armies in the Hetao area still retreated.
