Chapter 424: Strange formation

When news came that Qi Guo and Zhao Guo joined forces to hold an exercise. The Qin people dismissed it. They believed that the two countries combined would not be able to defeat the offensive of a regular division of Qin State. And as long as Qin is willing. The large number of cavalry stationed in the north can go south on a large scale like a few nomadic tribes at any time. It is the unity of the six countries. Neither had the ability to defeat Qin Jun.

Qin State was busy from top to bottom. All kinds of material orders have floated. Especially Yan Guo. The Yan State Embassy sold an entire restaurant as its own embassy. Here, the diplomats working in the embassy finally experienced the uncle. They have orders in hand. Many of Qin's arsenals are robbing this order. Yan Guo is crazy. After they discovered the gold mine, they frantically used the nation's power to mine it. Gold has become the most effective bargaining chip in their hands. After Qin State Bank changed into banknotes or cheques, they started shopping frantically.

From clothing, belts, to perfume, glass. Then to muskets, artillery. As long as Qin State owned them, they would buy them. Buy without restraint. Then hire a large number of carriages to send to Yan country. Qin's economy was stimulated by its stimulus. The industrial and commercial development is very rapid.

The various factories in Qin State produce non-stop day and night. Especially military factories. Due to the restrictions of Qin State's "Export Weapons Act". The arsenal can only produce the relatively backward flintlocks. Production of bullets. Especially the raw materials. The mining volume has increased rapidly. For this reason, some people joined the expedition. They are eager to find minerals to make a fortune.

It is not only these entities that make money, but also a large number of financial institutions. A large number of corporate stocks on the exchange began to go public for financing. On the futures exchange, wheat and corn are actively traded. At the same time, the newly launched flax oil and animal fats are also very active. Flax oil is vegetable oil and an important raw material for food. Especially important raw materials for some fat cakes supplied by the military. Animal fat is an important raw material for bullets. They need a lot of grease to seal the paper shell bullets.

The banking industry has made a fortune. When Yan was in the country, the supply of gold was temporarily unavailable, and the bank issued loans to the other party. Wait for the other party's gold to come up. They tend to have a high income of 10%. War has become a good opportunity for them to make a fortune.

Yan Guo is not stupid either. They know that gold mining is limited. So they also hired some security companies to enter Liaodong in Yan State to catch slaves. Sometimes they send people to participate. Because the slave trade is very profitable. This is Ju Xin's idea.

The subjects of the slaves were today's North Koreans. Shangwen didn't know what his name was at this time, but he knew that they were doing it. There are many settlements for the Koreans in the land of Liaodong. These settlements are densely populated. It is an ideal attack location. Security companies often attack suddenly in the dark. Then the North Koreans who were talking strange things were dragged out, assembled into a team and escorted to the concession of Qin State. Some people tried to resist. The security guards are also very unkind. Throw in the cheap ignition grenade directly. Then they all died. If it didn't blow up, kill it with a single blow. Then he pulled out a few people to clean up the corpse. Security guards began to set up landmarks in these places. Because land can also be sold for money. The Qin government is willing to spend money to acquire these lands. Yan Guo obviously didn't think of it at the beginning. They just grab slaves. Catch slaves.

The slave trade is destroying one of Qin's potential opponents. At the same time, a new civilization was established in the area. Qin civilization.

Qin's development trend is very good. The exercise was followed by the North. The pattern in the north is different from that in Taiyuan. Taiyuan is dominated by infantry, and the north is dominated by large-scale cavalry. The exercise was very boring. Because the cavalry always ran back and forth on horseback. Meng Tian believes that instead of maneuvers, it is better to break into parts and cross the desert to harass the Huns.

In contrast. Zhao Jun looked very nervous. Their team moved back and forth. As soon as the teams arrived, they drove out immediately. Then participate in the exercise.

At the same time of the exercise, a large number of smuggled arms dealers also began to frequently be active in the Zhao Jun camp. Zhao Jun purchased muskets frantically. This also caused the price of muskets on the market to soar from the original thirty-half taels to fifty-half taels.

Zhao Wang almost emptied the treasury. Spend a lot of money on the purchase of muskets. However, the number of muskets equipped by Zhao Jun is still limited. Only 80,000 pieces. The most lacking is artillery. Qin State still restricted the export of artillery. Zhao's artillery casting technology is not as good as Qin's. Without any choice. A large number of low-quality artillery began to enter Zhao Jun. The casualties of artillery are several times that of infantry. Artillery has become the most dangerous unit.

Musketeers could not be as large-scale biographies as the Qin State, so they reluctantly compiled one kind. Teams with mixed gunpowder weapons and cold weapons.

Infantry is still the main force. But they have three rows of musketeers in the front row. They use the principle of three rows of shooting to defeat the opponent's formation. Then use the bayonet and the **** to charge. Followed by were a large number of soldiers with cold weapons such as spears, ge, and halberds. After breaking through the front line, they are the force of charge. Before, they just had to sprint closely behind.

But this must be done by cavalry. Because the Qin army eliminated hidden dangers in the north. A large number of horses entered the country of Zhao. Zhao Guo also began to learn to equip cavalry. They made a lot of stirrups, horseshoes and other things by themselves. The weapon is a spear. Li Mu's idea is very simple.

When the artillery could not fight the Qin army. Can only rely on the cavalry with a fast assault to get close to the opponent. The infantry phalanx that followed quickly should quickly follow up and coordinate with the cavalry to open up the situation. This is a very tragic strategy. But it was also a helpless move. Because before the charge. They have to face a lot of artillery bombardment. Moreover, the physical exertion is also great. Because the artillery extended the attack distance very much.

to this end. Zhao Jun also began to make major reforms. They no longer use heavy armor, because it really consumes energy. And it can't withstand the shooting of bullets at all. Simultaneously. The formation of their charge began to become unusually loose. Just enter the combat distance. Usually it takes only the last fifty steps to slow down and gather the formation.

before this. The cavalry must charge at all costs. charge. Regardless of the situation, they must remain charged. Tear open the opponent's defense as much as possible. Only the infantry who followed up had room to play.

Li Mu once thought about attacking the opponent's artillery position. But it's impossible. Through Qin's newspaper. Li Mu has already calculated that Qin State has put the artillery in a core position. The core of the military formation is the artillery position. This is a terrifying opponent with a strong tone of firepower.
