Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 978
It is the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and it is like a strong wind sweeping away the remaining clouds.

The Lu Qi cavalry who had been killed would not leave any room for the Seljuks.

How could the Seljuk cavalry, who had already fought together, be their opponents?
They just wanted to run before the fight started, but how could they escape?

The Qi army and horse soldiers who attacked had three horses, but all of them were first-class horses accumulated by Lu Qi Dynasty over the years.From East Kopchak, from Huacizimo, from Anxi, and from Tianzhu, a large number of high-quality military horses gathered in the Western Regions. These are the capitals of Lu Qi's great horse army.

On weekdays, the Transport Department sends war horses to the Central Plains in batches along the road that runs through the east and west. But in the past two years, it has stopped. A large number of excellent war horses have gathered in the Western Regions and Anxi, all preparing for the current event. Preparations are being made for war.

Lu Qi's iron cavalry with such a good horse in his hand, if he can make the fat fish that took the bait escape, it would be a ghost.

The pursuit battle took a long time, and the battle quickly moved away from the Musketeer Battalion.

Only then did the soldiers in the latter group breathe a sigh of relief, lying on the battlefield panting one by one, the battle was over, the mission was accomplished, and the battle was won.They survived.

At this moment, the surrounding plains can no longer see what they used to be, and the green ground is covered with blood and the corpses of people and horses.

The medical battalion has not yet arrived.

Hundreds of soldiers with varying degrees of injuries were laid flat on the ground, and on the other side were the bodies of fallen soldiers.The military doctor accompanying the army was bandaging the former nervously.

Faces with eyes closed forever, and disfigured corpses that were trampled one after another. The soldiers looked at the corpses of their comrades, and a piercing pain made everyone clench their teeth.

It wasn't until a soldier who lost an arm howled in pain that the tranquility of the atmosphere was broken. The doctor next to him knew clearly that Jinchuang medicine would not be able to stop the bleeding. The soldering iron pressed against the wound.

"Zi la..." The pungent burnt smell radiated in the air.

Accompanied by that chilling voice, the screams of the wounded soldiers were ten times more horrific.The tremendous pain made him pass out immediately.However, the military doctor quickly sprinkled white powder on the scalded wound, and then quickly wrapped the bandage, and it was over.Even if he is sent back to the medical camp in a while, that's all he can do for this kind of injury. As for whether the wounded soldier can survive, it depends on whether he can survive it.

……

Under the city of Nishapur, the battle report was sent back before the Musketeer Battalion returned to the camp.Yue Fei was not shocked at all when he read the casualty figures on the battle report, but Zhu Wu, who was the right army adviser of the army, laughed.Especially after hearing that Arslan's confidant had returned, he left the army center with a smile on his face, and rushed towards the Huacizimo people's camp in a calm manner.

"Really, only 60 people died in the war, and less than [-] were injured?" Arslan looked at the confidants in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Five hundred musketeers fought against three thousand Seljuk cavalry, and they paid such a small price and killed several times the enemy. Is this the Arabian Nights "Arabian Nights"?

If the person in front of him was not his confidant, Arslan could be sure that he would not betray him, and he would have stabbed someone with a knife.

Are you fooling a fool?

"My lord, how dare I deceive you? The Chinese killed so many, five or sixty, maybe even less than fifty. And they killed at least three hundred, no, four hundred .I can swear to Buddha!"

The confidant also knows that what he said is a bit unbelievable, but it is really the truth.

After a while, the Musketeers will return to the camp, and it will be clear at a glance how many people are left, how many people have died and injured.

"How could the musket have such great fighting power?" Arslan already believed in this fact in his heart, but he really couldn't believe it.

Zhu Wu was spinning two white jade balls in his hands, and he looked more like an old man who came to chat with Arslan than a military adviser of the army.There was an aura of peace all over his body.

"My nephew, what do you think of muskets? The soldiers outnumbered the enemy with few, with 52 casualties and more than [-] killed. How can firearms be as powerful as bows and arrows?"

Arslan's face was slightly ugly, and he was also a smart person.How can I not understand the deep meaning in Zhu Wu's words-the era of bowing horses is coming to an end, a prairie warrior who has been riding a horse and archery since childhood may not be worth a Han farmer who has practiced muskets for several months on the battlefield!And this is also doomed, and Tian Fang will never be able to turn around under Lu Qi's hands forever.

Only Tianzhu can compete with China in terms of population in this world.

Arslan laughed dryly and said, "My nephew has been taught how powerful the musket is. Unfortunately, although its effect is good, it is not cheap, and the gunpowder is also expensive. Bows and arrows are more suitable for my country."

Zhu Wu actually wants to do business with Kang Ju, and wants to sell a batch of firearms to Kang Juguo for the military supervisor.The first moment this word came to Arslan, he was really scared out of his wits.

Huacizimo has followed Lu Qi on the saddle for so many years, how can he not know the sharpness of firearms?And how can you not know the strictness of the Chinese in keeping firearms confidential.Is Zhu Wu trying to test them?Or do you suspect them Huacizimo?

Later I learned that the Chinese firearms were leaked.

The provinces of the Western Regions have been busy for a long time, but they only caught some abandoned children or dead soldiers thrown by the black hands pretending to be confused. It can be said with certainty that the confidential data of the guns has 'flyed' out.

Not to mention how the Feitianhu will take the lead, anyway, Jinling's sudden change of attitude left everyone dumbfounded.

One moment you were hiding a treasure that was hidden from others, but the next moment you are going to sell it?

Zhu Wu also didn't understand the reason for such a big change, but the task must always be completed, right?

Huacizimoren is an important pawn for Lu Qi to check and balance Tianfang. The reason for selling the guns to Ah Jisi is to strengthen the strength of Huacizimoren.And just thinking about it, Zhu Wu's main target now is Arslan.

Although he always felt that there was another mystery to this matter.Arslan didn't dare to do everything, he only expressed his desire for artillery, but he still had shirk for muskets.

As for whether he really disliked muskets or other reasons, only Arslan himself knew.On the surface, he just doesn't like muskets, thinking that the latter is too slow and inaccurate.

The unit price of the latter is far less sharp than the cannon, but no matter how low the price is, it can't stop a large quantity.And if you buy a musket, you need gunpowder, as well as gun wear and tear, etc. The overall price is not cheap.

"Firelocks are not expensive. The materials are just a few catties of good iron and wood, and the cost is labor. Labor is actually not expensive. How many labors can a musket cost? How much can a musket cost? This musket has been used The imperial court is familiar with it and mass-produced, at most it costs 50 yuan a piece. There are more than this amount for a slightly more formal military bow, unless you use that hunting bow..."

"At least when they are defending the city, they are much more powerful than bows and crossbows. These things are not accurate, so they must be used together."

Mass production, standardization, and assembly line technology have been closely connected with the military supervision over the years, which actually means a little bit of industrialization!When Lu Qi was still in the Liangshan Army, he introduced the two concepts of standardization and assembly line production.Later, when the Military Weapons Supervision developed and expanded, it insisted on this idea even more.

A large number of simple machines driven by various water power and animal power have greatly improved production efficiency and reduced production costs.

Not only the guns, but also the armor of swords and guns.The overall price of armaments is getting lower year by year.

Taking simple plate armor as an example, the cost of a pair of infantry plate armor weighing 30 kilograms has dropped from the original 50 66.67 taels per piece to the current one hundred yuan [[-] taels]!In large-scale manufacturing, the yield rate is much higher than at the beginning, and the overall price drops rapidly.

"Your Majesty has high hopes for Kangju. Your future is not in the Aral Sea, but the sky is the wilderness for you to gallop."
