Chapter 533: It's time to change the gun.

The Yan army's attack from a tactical level to a certain strategic level caused a lot of chaos to the Qi state. Qi Jun's line of defense tended to the edge of the fast. Many places were broken by the Yan army, and their weapons were behind. There is no way to contend with Yan Jun from the front. They can only use the nightfall to launch a sneak attack and enter the Yanjun camp. But Yan Jun's barbed wire made this sneak attack useless.

The Qi army's sneak attack began to turn into a small-scale ambush. Only in this way can they stop the Yan army from advancing. The total strength of the Yan army is only 40,000. But their equipment has far surpassed Qi Jun. The Qi army is large in number and has the advantage of local defense, but they cannot resist differences in weapons. Especially artillery. This weapon is too sharp. Qi Jun was very passive.

But it is very strange. Even the State of Yan and State of Qin signed a peace treaty. However, Qin still smuggled a lot of weapons to the warring parties. However, all parties did not express their opposition to this point. Especially Qi State. Relying on the profit of fish and salt, Qi State bought muskets on a large scale. For artillery. They couldn't buy one. The demand for artillery began to stimulate some bold people to sell artillery to each other. The price of artillery is too attractive. A cannon is as high as six hundred gold. This price is too high.

After Tian Heng saw the Yan State cavalry, he believed that the cavalry would be the greatest threat to the Qi army. Therefore, he aimed at a defensive weapon that was cheap and could be made by himself, barbed wire. In addition to buying a large amount of barbed wire made by Qin State. He also ordered his own manufacture. He decided to use this secret weapon to give the opposing cavalry a fatal blow.

The use of barbed wire was mentioned in Qin's newspaper. When the Qin Army deployed its defensive positions, a large number of barbed wire fences were arranged. Not only defense, but when offensively blocking roads. Barbed wire has unimaginable benefits. It is precisely this kind of benefit that allows Qin Jun to manufacture in large quantities. But this kind of thing has not been recognized in the six countries. Because this thing is cheap to make, and it's very handy. The six-nation warfare model is still the same way of thinking as in the past to launch battles in formation. Pair using barbed wire. They are difficult to accept. Even when buying arms, arms dealers give it away. None of them. But now, Tian Heng wants a large number of acquisitions. And a large number of barbed wire positions have been deployed on the spot. This will be a disaster that Yan Jun will encounter in the future. Moreover, the mode of war drags the offensive and defensive parties into a quagmire.

And on the other side. Qin State is holding a large-scale military exercise. This exercise is a project of National Defense Education Day. Anyone can participate. People took out their muskets. Those who have horses ride on horses, and those without horses are organized into combat units according to their household registration units. They will temporarily take on the role of infantry.

The winter sun seemed very warm at noon. The exercise went very smoothly. No way is to shoot collectively. Ever put military addiction. Many of them have not fought for a long time. They have been engaged in industrial production.

King Qin also came to participate to show the continuation of Qin's martial spirit. The exercise took place on the outskirts of Xianyang. Tens of thousands of people rushed out of the city to hold large-scale exercises. They are wearing neat and clean clothes. Since it is the New Year, everyone has new clothes and new shoes. It seems very energetic. But King Qin was unhappy. Because, judging from their mental outlook. They lacked a murderous spirit. Instead, there is a sense of strangeness on the battlefield and the excitement of being on the battlefield for the first time.

King Qin agreed with Shang Wen's view. The Qin State must hold a series of activities to maintain the Qin State's martial spirit. For such a long period of time, Qin's martial spirit will no longer exist.

After the exercise, there were military shooting competitions. This is a contest between the army and the civilian population. Qin Jun has now replaced another powerful musket on a large scale. Rifled gun. Use rice pinch bullets and cone-shaped bullets. The range is extremely lethal within seventy steps. A certain number of old-fashioned muskets still exist among the people. The main reason is that they have no combat readiness task. There is no need to buy a powerful gun.

Qin's musket industry has been developing. For example, a revolver appeared. And customized a special model for it. What Yingyu is holding is a Li's type 1 revolver rifled gun. The caliber is five zero. Powerful. There are also Type II and Type III. They improved the loading device and the one-time loading and loading device respectively. Because this gun is loved by many armed personnel. Especially his burst function. Just move the hammer continuously and pull the trigger. Shoot like a six-barreled Vulcan. But there are also problems. It is very troublesome to load bullets. To this end, Li's Weapon Company. The new name of Li's Arsenal after reorganization and listing. Yingyu holds 60% of the shares of this weapon company. They developed a six- and seven-round bullet loop loaded with a fixed single chain. This solves the problem of reloading.

In the rifle business, Qin's rifle was divided for the first time. The division of musket and rifled gun. The musket is mainly a shotgun. This gun has a very large caliber. It's already over 1.70 caliber. (Qin's size is relatively small, he is different from inches) Shotgun is made of hard wax paper. There are seven to twenty small iron beads of different sizes in the middle. Shotguns vary in length. But for those armed men. They love the short-barreled shotgun very much. Or they reform themselves. For example, they will buy a shotgun. Then hand it to some workshops to saw off a certain length of barrel. For this reason, there are a large number of such weapons workshops in the newly established states. They started by sawing off the barrel. Then repair the guns. Because shotguns usually use a lever type or a foldable locking method. They are all loaded with guns later, and require certain firearms principles. These workshops began to provide such services.

At the same time, when they repaired guns, they also started to make some guns. This is the biggest supplement to the civilian rear-loading of guns. And they compete vigorously with those big manufacturers. This is an important period of turning point for guns. Although, front loading guns are the mainstream. But some late-loaded guns appeared. In particular, some strange-shaped locking mechanisms appeared. Let the rear-loading gun be on the stage of history. Firearms will replace muskets as the master of shooting weapons in the new era. Sports competition has accelerated this process.

And this competition will appear a new type of locking mechanism and new type of gunpowder to accelerate the development of firearms. The gun in the hands of the soldiers of the State of Qin should be changed again.
