Chapter 561 The Power of Firearms
"By the way, what's the situation in the Firearms Battalion recently?"
Ying Zheng suddenly remembered this matter.
"Your Majesty, since the opening of the Firearms Battalion, under the personal guidance of His Highness the Crown Prince, the soldiers' firearms skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
The situation of accidentally injuring friendly troops during melee has never happened again, and the accuracy of the soldiers' use of firearms has also been improved, and some individuals have even been able to achieve a hundred shots. "
"In addition, after training for a long time, the reserve soldiers have already met the conditions for entering the firearms battalion. For this reason, the army has added several firearms battalions. Now there are ten firearms battalions. The combined number of firearms battalions has reached More than 1000 people."
"I once did an experiment, let ten fully armed soldiers attack at the same time, and besieged a soldier of the Firearms Battalion together."
"As a result, after the experiment, it was found that as long as there are obstacles that can hide the figure, with the powerful firearms and the high hit rate of the soldiers after hard training, it can completely deal with the siege of eight to ten soldiers at the same time.
"The most important thing is that this is only because the armor of my Daqin soldiers is excellent. If it is replaced by soldiers of the Roman or Carthaginian army level, especially on a chaotic battlefield, this number will only increase. reduce!"
"I believe that once this firearms battalion officially appears on the battlefield, it will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the battlefield.
And our Daqin army, which is already invincible vertically and horizontally, has another trump card because of the existence of the Firearms Battalion.
As long as it is used well, the powerful power of the Firearms Battalion is enough to turn the entire battle situation around and become a nightmare for every enemy of Great Qin! "
Wang Ben said confidently.
After listening to Wang Ben's introduction to the Firearms Camp, Meng Yi and other court ministers could not help but take a deep breath.
Although they have long seen the terrifying power of firearms, they also realize that if the firearms battalion is successfully formed, it will definitely become the sharpest knife of the Daqin army.
But when Wang Ben told the results of his experiment, the ministers were still stunned for a moment.
Especially Wang Jian.
As a veteran of the four dynasties, Wang Jian was a general who had led troops to fight for decades. He knew very well that when the fighting power of one side's soldiers was comparable to that of ten ordinary soldiers on the other side, it showed the level of personal combat power between the two sides. The disparity has reached an extremely exaggerated level.
If he hadn't seen the terrifying power of a firearm blowing through more than a dozen layers of leather armor, Wang Jian would never have believed his son's so-called experimental conclusions, even his own father would have thought he was making things up.
"Hey... old, really old!
The development of this scientific and technological power is really fast and powerful. The era that belongs to our older generation has finally passed. "
Wang Jian couldn't help sighing.
Thinking back to when the Great Qin had not yet been unified, as the highest ranking general of the Great Qin, he led the Qin army to conquer the six kingdoms.
At that time, although there was a gap in national strength among various countries, and the number of soldiers in the national army was also different, the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers was basically the same.
Although Great Qin was already the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms at that time, the strength here was mainly reflected in the degree of wealth, and the personal combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin Army was not particularly strong.
For example, among the Six Kingdoms, the soldiers of the Chu State who grew up in the wilderness may not be as good as the soldiers of the Qin State in terms of personal combat effectiveness, but the difference is not that great.
The reason why Wang Jian was able to destroy Chu at the beginning was not only his excellent military strategy, but also the use of most of Qin's soldiers to win by numbers.
Even so, the Qin army paid a very heavy price. Almost 40.00% of the soldiers were lost in this battle. It can be seen that although the personal combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin army at that time was strong, it was definitely limited.
However, now, under Ying Yu's guidance and reforms, Daqin's various technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds, and its ability to forge steel is directly ahead of other countries by many years.
With the support of Great Qin's huge financial resources and superb technological level, the equipment of the soldiers of the Qin Army has undergone many upgrades and transformations, from bronzes at the beginning to pure iron, and then to steel with higher refining and better effects.
Due to the huge changes in its own equipment, Qin Jun's personal combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds. In the case of being fully armed, he can completely fight to the point of one against three!
As for the firearms manufactured now, it is even more exaggerated. The destructive power that one soldier can cause with a firearm is even stronger than the destructive power that ten soldiers from other countries can cause!
If it was in the past, Wang Jian wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Moreover, he probably never even dreamed that in the future, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin Army would be so strong that it would even be so strong that there was no need to formulate a special strategy.
Because under the crushing of absolute combat power, the formulation of all strategies has become irrelevant.
It's like a grown man fighting a five-year-old.
Relying on his flexible status, the five-year-old child made more than a dozen attacks than the adult man, but his weak fists could not cause even the slightest damage to the adult man.
Conversely, a grown man only needs to hit a five-year-old with one punch, and he is immediately incapacitated and defeated in the duel.
With the combat effectiveness of the Daqin sergeant today, he is undoubtedly like an adult man, while the soldiers of other countries are five-year-old children. The difference between the two is almost the difference between heaven and earth.
What's more, the Qin army will not really have no strategy formulation, and even the strategy formulation is not comparable to other countries.
Not to mention anything else, just a newly rising Han Xin is enough to crush those so-called famous generals in other countries.
Before he knew it, Daqin's military strength had grown to such a level, which made Wang Jian sigh in his heart, and at the same time, he was deeply pleased with the earth-shaking changes in Daqin's army today.
"I didn't expect this firearm to be so powerful in the hands of well-trained soldiers!"
"If this firearms battalion can be quickly expanded, or even directly build up a huge army using firearms, then my Great Qin soldiers will be invincible in the world!"
Chen Ping couldn't help being shocked.
"His Royal Highness, I heard that although firearms are a new type of weapon, they are not difficult to operate. General soldiers can basically master the use of firearms after ten days and a half months of practice. "
"Since this is the case, I wonder if we can popularize the method of using firearms in the army and improve the soldiers' mastery of firearms technology, so as to meet the conditions for the continued expansion of the firearms battalion?"
"The power of firearms is so terrifying. If the firearms battalion can really be expanded to the level of an army, then this will definitely greatly improve the military strength of our Great Qin!"
Wang Likou put forward his own suggestion.
