Become a feudal king from today

Zhongling Pass.

With the arrival of the last batch of Qin-style rifles, war is about to break out.

After ordering the generals to distribute Qin-style rifles, Chang Wei summoned Qin Shan, Guantong and Lu Chang.

Qin-style rifles were mainly distributed to the soldiers under the three men.

But if you take the Qin-style rifle, you will be responsible for the task of attacking the enemy.

"In the past month, the soldiers have basically mastered the key points of Qin-style rifle shooting and corresponding tactics. Is it no problem to take Zhongling Pass this time?" Chang Wei said, staring into the eyes of the three people.

Guan Tong's body was straight. Among the three, he was the loudest. He said first: "When the rifled gun is installed in the front, the general will be able to seize Zhongling Pass by commanding his soldiers, not to mention the Qin-style rifle now installed." , the final general is willing to lead the third army of the royal family to climb the Zhonglingguan city wall first. "

After the army was restructured, he and Qinshan Lu Chang no longer held the title of captain, but were promoted to general Zhenwu. Each had three captains under their command and commanded 30,000 people.

However, as the Wu army reached the south bank of Jiujiang, he and Qinshan each had a captain under their command sent to the north bank of Jiujiang.

Currently, there are 70,000 people at Zhongling Pass.

Except for the fact that Lu Chang's soldiers were full, he and Qin Shan were both short of 10,000.

But even so, he still wanted to grab the first attack mission.

"The first attack should be our first army, one or three, who is in front, don't you know how to count?" Qin Shan heard this and glanced at Guantong.

The three of them had a good relationship in private, but he wouldn't let them get through on the battlefield.

"Oh, please stop arguing. There is nothing to argue about. Isn't it obvious who will be given the first attack task?" Lu Chang spread his hands, "Whoever has the most troops now will be the first to attack."

Guan Tong and Qin Shan looked at each other and cursed together: "What's wrong with the thirty thousand people? Your thirty thousand people may not be the opponent of our twenty thousand people."

"Hey, you two have put on a pair of pants. What, you are not convinced? Do you want to practice." Lu Chang rolled up his sleeves, "You two come together, if you can beat me, the first attack will be yours."

After his words fell, Chang Wei slapped the table, "What are you doing? Are you buying food for the war? If you bargain here, if you argue again, go patrolling the north bank of Jiujiang. There are many generals who want to fight, and there is no shortage of you three."

Chang Wei was angry, and Qinshan and the other two people suddenly became honest, and they all smiled playfully, "Whatever the general says will be whatever it is."

With a snort, Chang Wei said: "This attack on Zhongling Pass is the first attack. I will give you five days to take Zhongling Pass. If you can't take it, your official positions will be cut off and you will all go back to Beida camp to feed pigs." ”

"Yes, General." The three of them stood at attention and gave Chang Wei a military salute.

After giving this order, Chang Wei walked out of the camp and looked at Zhongling Pass six miles away.

Just half a month ago, they were stationed two miles away from Zhongling Pass.

But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, they were bombarded by the opponent's artillery.

During the evacuation, he discovered that the effective range of the opponent's artillery reached about 1,500 meters.

This is obviously not the effective range that the powerful artillery should have.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, and that is that there are artillery from the Russian state on the wall of Zhonglingguan.

After all, after hot-air balloon reconnaissance, a large number of Beidi soldiers were discovered at Zhongling Pass.

According to their intelligence, this is the army of Ashur, Mulehun's younger brother.

During this period, the Russian state sold a lot of muskets and artillery to Beidi.

In order to deal with this situation and reduce losses, he ordered trenches to be dug during the training of soldiers.

Trench fortifications were built under Zhonglingguan City.

Discovering this, the Zhonglingguan army and the Beidi army also began to dig trenches.

Both sides thought of digging fortifications.

So now, within a radius of three hundred meters from the city gate, there are trenches belonging to powerful clans.

Their trenches were blocked three hundred meters away.

"Ashur, let's compete this time." Chang Wei clenched his fist.

He knew the name of Ashur. Apart from Mule Hongzhen, Ashur was the most capable of fighting in Beidi.

Moreover, the soldiers under Ashur are more familiar with firearms and are said to be very fierce in hand-to-hand combat.

This can be seen from his ability to capture Tubo in a short period of time.

But even so, he still had full confidence in his soldiers.

In previous wars, the generals and soldiers under his command have been tempered by blood and fire.

On the battlefield, his personal bravery is as good as Beidi's or even slightly better.

What's more, this time they were equipped with terrifying Qin-style rifles.

As a general leading a war, he is naturally very sensitive to changes in muskets.

After the first Qin-style rifle came to the army, he was convinced that the Qin-style rifle was the future of firearms.

First of all, compared with front-loading rifled guns, Qin-style rifles are very flexible.

On the battlefield, when a muzzle-loading rifle fires a shot, the soldier must stand up and reload.

This leaves soldiers exposed to danger.

Moreover, although the bullets of the front-loading rifled gun are tapered and easy to load, the soldiers still need to use a pass to pound the bullets in, and the loading steps are cumbersome.

But the Qin-style rifle has no such problem at all.

Soldiers can load bullets in any position, including lying prone.

Furthermore, reloading is also very convenient, just open the bolt, load the bullet and then close it.

Precisely because loading is much simplified, the Qin-style rifle can fire ten times a minute, almost twice as many times as a front-loading rifle.

Of course, the most important point is that since their front-loading rifles are modified based on flintlock guns, their effective range is only about 400 meters.

Although King Yan said that the front-loading rifled gun still has potential and can reach 900 meters.

But compared with the previously equipped muskets, the effective range of the Qin-style rifle has been improved, reaching 600 meters.

Excellent soldiers equipped with such excellent rifles, let alone Ashur, even if the armies of Russia and Britain come in person, he can defeat them.

Thinking of this, he walked through the camp and went to the temporary school ground.

At this moment, the soldiers are training.

The content of this training is mainly the action skills of using the Qin style rifle.

For example, at this moment, there are soldiers crawling on the ground holding Qin-style rifles.

There were also soldiers holding Qin-style rifles to practice shooting positions such as standing, kneeling, and lying down.

There are also teams with flags as units to practice tactical operations.

After inspecting the results of the soldiers' training, Chang Wei was very satisfied.

There is no doubt that from now on, the fighting methods of the royal family's troops have completely changed.

Three days later, after the last batch of soldiers equipped with Qin-style rifles had undergone adaptive training, Chang Wei issued the order to attack.

Under the general's order, the soldiers entered the trench carrying Qin-style rifles.

The artillery quickly established howitzer and rifled gun emplacements.

Aiming the muzzle at the Zhonglingguan city wall.

The unusual movements of the royal troops immediately aroused the vigilance of the Zhongling Pass guard.

This guard is none other than Ashur.

Next to Ashur was a Russian military officer.

It was Orsky who fought with Ning Jin's army with the Tongniu King's tent last time.

This time, he assisted Ashur on Ivan's order.
