Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 32: Future weapon

  The soldiers present saw the power of this firearm with their own eyes, and the weapons in the opponents were very enthusiastic.

   "Your army is the first unit in your country to be equipped with muskets. I hope that the soldiers will let the enemy know your mighty power in the future!" Yang Song had high hopes for the Shenji Camp.

   "Swear allegiance to your lord!" After listening to Yang Song's simple and profound speech, the soldiers were also agitated at the direct soldiers who became the lord.

   Yang Song pressed his hand against the soldiers who shouted three times. The moment Yang reached out his hand to signal, the audience was silent. Yang Song then tilted his head and nodded gently to Li Jing.

Li Jing received Yang Song’s signal, and stepped forward, standing beside Yang Song, unfolding the order book and reading aloud: “Monarch’s Order: Order the newly built Shenji Battalion to exercise new weapons diligently, and hope it will protect its home and country. Guard the homeland!"

   "Follow the emperor's order!"...

  Shenji Battalion has five brigades. In addition to three gun brigades and one artillery brigade, there is also a brigade headquarters.

There is a certain difference between Zhu Cheng of the battalion department and the organization of the brigade department. Although both are three hundred people, the battalion of Shenji battalion has two cavalry squadrons, two musket squadrons, and one service squadron.

   And whether it is the musket brigade or the artillery brigade, or even the cavalry and order soldiers, each has a musket, but the muskets equipped by the soldiers on horseback are cavalry-type.

  The musketeers were all turned around, because the shooting methods of the musketeers were similar to that of the muskets, they were all uniform salvos and multi-stage shooting.

   But the operation method is very different. The operation method of the musket is much more complicated than that of the crossbow, and the rate of fire is much slower.

In fact, the front-mounted smoothbore flintlock musket is much more powerful than the strong crossbow, and it has no advantage at all. The effective range is not as far as the strong crossbow, and the rate of fire is not as fast as the strong crossbow. Moreover, the strong crossbow does not consider the hit rate and power. In the case of long-range projectiles can also be carried out.

   But whether it is a strong crossbow or a continuous crossbow, there is one thing that is not comparable to a musket, that is, muskets are the development trend of future weapons!

   In addition to muskets for the Shenji Battalion, Yang Song also has a leather armor, a helmet, a Mitsubishi bayonet that matches the musket, and a multi-function dagger. The cavalry needs to be equipped with a war knife.

   Artillery’s weapons and equipment are also the same as those of the Musketeers, except that the main task of the artillery was to operate the artillery. Now, in addition to the artillery, it can also be used for combat.

After    waited for weapons and equipment, the horses were distributed, Yang Song let the soldiers disperse from the stage, and he took Yan Ren, Liu Ji and others to the main account of the barracks.

   "Yan Ren, you used to be the commander of the long-range attack troops. You should know the combat methods of this kind of long-range attack weapons." Yang Song sat in the upper position of the main account and said to Yan Ren who was sitting at the end.

   Yan Ren stood up and held a fist to Yang Song: "Go back to the Lord, yes, the minister knows the combat methods of long-range attack weapons."

   Yang Song said, "That's good. You have commanded an infantry battalion. You should also know the combat methods of melee units."

   After Yan Ren reconfirmed, Yang Song went on to say: "Shenji Battalion's combat method is mainly based on long-range attacks, and if you have to, you must conduct close combat."

  Because the gun's attack range is only 100 meters, and the shooting speed is still slow, for this purpose, a bayonet-type Mitsubishi bayonet nearly one meter long is specially equipped for close combat.

   Yang Song knew that even in the age of machine guns, melee weapons were a must for soldiers.

   "Yes, the minister remembers the Lord's instructions." Strictly and solemnly, he once again held a fist at Yang Song.

   Yang Song continued: "I have a suggestion for the use of muskets. You can refer to it, Yan Ren."

   Stern and respectful replied: "The ministers listen carefully!

"The use of a musket is very similar to a strong crossbow, such as multi-stage shooting." Yang Song thought for a while and said: "But because the effective range of a musket is only about 100 meters, this is much closer than a strong crossbow, so We value the courage of soldiers very much."

   Yang Song asked Yang Ren of the post-guarantee bureau to take out the whistle prepared in advance.

   After Yang Ren handed over all the whistles to Yan Ren, Yang Song pointed to the large string of whistles in Yan Ren's hand and said: "The advance and retreat of the army are all commanded by this thing. For specific methods, you can refer to the drums and horns."

   "Yes, your lord, the minister will definitely make good use of this thing." Yan Ren picked up the string of whistle and replied solemnly.

   "Yeah." Yang Song waved Yan Ren to sit down, and told Yang Ren of the Post Insurance Bureau: "Shenjiying has any needs, you try to satisfy them."

   "Yes, Lord!" Yang Ren also stood up and clasped his fists.

   "Pharmacy." Yang Song said to Li Jing again: "You also help Yan Ren perfect the battle command of Shenjiying."

   "Yes, the minister takes the command." Li Jing held his fist at Yang Song and took the command.

   Yang Song asked Li Jing to help improve the combat command of the Shenji Battalion. It was also because the Shenji Battalion was originally an experimental army. After the Shenji Battalion had perfected all aspects and accumulated experience, it was possible to implement firearms in the whole army.

   But Li Jing's role as the deputy director of the Military Department is only a part-time job. His real primary position is the director of the Command and Staff Bureau. One of the responsibilities of this department is to study and formulate military strategies and military requirements.

   This military requirement includes military command and combat tactics, so letting it help rigorously improve the combat command of the new army is part of its duty.

   After returning to the monarch’s residence, Yang Song asked Liu Ji: "Berwen, what do you think of this new weapon?"

"Enjoy your lord! The minister thinks that the musketeer seems to be a bit tasteless now, except for its power, it is not as good as the crossbow in other aspects, but it is destined to be the world of this kind of weapon in the future." After Liu Ji watched the way the musket attacked, I have been thinking about the impact of this weapon and its future development.

   "Oh~?" Yang Song slightly changed his sitting posture, and asked curiously, "Why is Berwen so optimistic about this weapon?"

"Enlighten you! The development of weapons such as the strong crossbow bow and arrow is close to the limit, even if it is improved, the power will be no more than that." Liu Jixian finished the limitations of the cold weapon long-range attack, and then said: "But the firearms are different. Now only the first generation has such power ~ www.novelmtl.com~ The potential in the future is limitless. And the minister sees its armor-breaking ability is even more extraordinary, so the minister suggested that the king should vigorously develop firearms."

   Yang Song laughed loudly after listening to Liu Ji's words, and said happily: "Berwen's words are deeply lonely."

"You are right. The future belongs to firearms. This front-mounted smooth-bore flintlock musket is just a relatively primitive weapon. There is also a more advanced rear-mounted rifled flintlock musket in the library. It's just this kind of musket. The cost of Xia Guo’s current industrial strength is still a bit high."

   Yang Song said, after thinking about it, he gave Liu Ji the bottom line: "Berwyn, whether it's artillery or musket, this kind of firearm is the future, now is just the beginning!"

   "The Lord said even." Liu Ji very much agrees with Yang Song's point of view.

   Cold Weapon has been developed for countless years, and now Xia Guo has basically reached its limit. No matter how it develops, it can only be improved slightly, and there is no qualitative change.

   But thermal weapons are completely different. The current musket is just the beginning, and Yang Song knows about the future development.

  The nemesis of crowd tactics-machine gun; king of land warfare-artillery; sea fortress-battleship...

   Missiles, nuclear weapons, and even various energy weapons at the back, this is the future of weapons!
