My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 83 81. Certainty of victory, deadly weapon [1]

Zhao Xuanqi returned to Chang'an City, walked inside the city wall, and continued his daily patrol operations.

The trusted guard beside him looked through the city wall around him towards the rebel camp below. The sky was filled with darkness, and even the sky seemed to be suppressed.

He shivered all over and couldn't help but ask: "General, can we really defeat them?"

Following these words, the other personal guards around him also looked at Zhao Xuanqi one after another, their eyes full of hope, eager to get Zhao Xuanqi's answer.

They are not afraid of death.

As the Ziyun Army, they were already prepared to sacrifice when they came to King Qin of Chang'an City.

But being prepared for sacrifice does not mean that they must die 100%. After all, they still have a desire to win.

Who doesn’t want to return to his hometown alive?

They really want to know how to win.

How to win this war!

The people in the city thought that there were 100,000 King Qin's troops, but only they knew that there were only 30,000 in total.

Thirty thousand versus half a million.

There is no hope of winning at all.

Hope is extremely slim. Even if the ants have a chance of defeating the elephant, the chance of defeating the rebels is probably higher than the chance of myself and others defeating the rebels!

From beginning to end, this is a war that no one is optimistic about.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the green faces of these soldiers and replied decisively: "Of course we can win, and we will win surely!"

Confidence and calmness infect everyone.

The voice is sonorous and powerful.

The trusted soldiers suddenly became energetic: "The general said we can win, then we will definitely win!"

Get rid of the previous decadent state and get back on your feet.

Although they didn't know how Zhao Xuanqi would win the war or what method he would use to defeat the enemy.

But they knew that this person was Zhao Xuanqi, and that was enough.

They had unconditional trust in Zhao Xuanqi.

As long as Zhao Xuanqi said he would win, he would definitely win. In these years, Zhao Xuanqi had become so famous that he seemed to be a god in their hearts.

Zhao Xuanqi did not lie to them.

He really thinks he can win.

He had already thought about this problem.

3 million versus 50 million.

How to defeat a majority of troops with a small number of troops?

He thought about the Fire Bull Formation.

In China, this formation is famous. Tian Dan used the Fire Ox Formation to defeat more with less and defeated tens of thousands of Qi's troops.

It is said that Wang Xuance also used the Fire Ox Formation, which unexpectedly defeated tens of thousands of Indian elephant troops in one battle.

The principle is very simple. Two sharp knives are tied to the horns of the cow, and a flame is lit on the tail. The crazy cow can run rampant, rush forward desperately, and kill countless enemies.

The dead soldiers rushed up behind the cattle to defeat the enemy. When defending the city, this move was used by surprise, which could play a huge role.

But Zhao Xuanqi finally gave up this strategy.

Why is the Fire Bull Formation called the Fire Bull Formation?

Fire Ox, you also have to have an ox!

There are not that many cows in the city.

Chang'an is a prosperous city. There are countless resources and grains piled in the treasury, but the number of cattle is very small.

After all, there is no cultivated land in the city, so where do so many cows come from? If the number of cattle is not enough, the Fire Bull Formation is just a joke.

So Zhao Xuanqi thought of a more reliable method.

Gunpowder for muskets!

In this cold weapon age, what could be more deadly than muskets and gunpowder?

In the era of cold weapon fighting, everyone went up to fight with knives and guns, and used bows and arrows to shoot cold arrows behind them. It was bloody and cruel. It often required a test of the soldiers' willpower, physical fitness, and combat experience, including various factors such as armor, and their impact on people. The requirements are extremely high.

The more elite your soldiers are, the more victories you can achieve in the era of cold weapon fighting, and the greater your hope of victory.

If you want to cultivate such elite soldiers, you must go through the baptism of the battlefield, eat well, drink well and exercise, which often takes a long time, at least several years.

This kind of soldier is extremely rare. If one dies, there will be one less!

If a large number of elite soldiers are injured, it will be difficult to organize the next war.

As for thermal weapons such as muskets and gunpowder, the requirements for people are not so high.

As long as you are a healthy person, even a not very healthy person, you can hold a musket, load it with gunpowder, and after simple practice, just shoot when the enemy rushes over.

Musket will tell you the answer.

No matter how hard the opponent wears armor and no matter how burly his body is, he cannot withstand bullets.

No matter how brave the opponent is, close combat is extremely terrifying. Mo Dao can destroy people and horses. Sorry, if you are seven steps away, the gun is fast. Within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate. As long as you have enough muskets, I won't give it to you at all. Opportunity to get up close.

The enemy is often shot before he can even get in front of him.

The low requirements on people are also a great advantage of the musket.

This group of soldiers died. As long as the muskets are still there, the next group of people can just pick up the muskets and continue shooting.

Even if the personnel suffer heavy casualties, as long as there are enough muskets, just pick up some young men, and get a little proficient, the muskets can immediately exert their powerful combat power, and the next war can be organized quickly!

A gun in the hands of a woman, or a gun in the hands of a child, can be as powerful as a strong man!

The biggest advantage of the musket is its long hand.

Able to shoot and damage enemies from long distances!

In the cold weapon age, there were also bows and arrows that could attack enemies from a distance.

If you compare the two sides.

The power of muskets is stronger than bows and arrows, and it does not require much physical fitness of the soldiers. They can often shoot within a few days of training, easily break through armor, and are extremely powerful.

The requirements for bows and arrows are too high. It takes at least several or even more than ten years to cultivate an archer. It also requires strong physical fitness of the soldiers. The power of bows and arrows is often not as good as that of muskets, making it difficult to break through. First.

Therefore, the musket is more cost-effective and stronger.

In Chinese history, when muskets appeared, the era of cold weapons came to an end, hot weapons began to become the mainstream, and the battlefield transformed into mutual shooting.

The torrent of history determines the status of muskets!

"I have to go see how it goes!"

Zhao Xuanqi was still a little nervous and muttered to himself.

He moved his steps and walked slowly towards the military workshop.

As early as when he entered Chang'an a few months ago, he was already thinking about how to defeat the enemy and tried to make muskets.

At that time, he selected two types of muskets based on the memory in his mind.

Flintlock gun.

Matchlock gun.

The flintlock gun has a faster reloading speed, can fire bullets faster, and can be used even on rainy days. The machine is extremely sophisticated and has high accuracy. It is considered a very good musket.
