Who knows, Li Zicheng's questioning made the messenger grimaced and said with a look of fear: "Your Majesty, the brothers on the front line are working very hard, we lost the battle, not because the brothers didn't work hard, but by the Xuanwu Corps of the Great Yan Army on the opposite side. It's caused by the crushing of strength!!"

  "Strength crushes!"

  When Li Zicheng heard this, his eyes burst into flames, and he roared: "Tell me, this is the crushing of strength!!"

  His face was hideous, as if he was going to eat people.

  The messenger was so frightened that he said with an aggrieved face: "It's just the strength to crush! The Great Yan Army on the opposite side, first the artillery blasted us to a gray face, and then dispatched infantry to forcibly advance towards our defense line. !"

  "Their front row of sword and shield soldiers, dressed like iron cans, kept airtight, and advanced with a shield as tall as a man.

  Our weapons and equipment are too backward, and they don't pose much threat to their front-line soldiers at all!"

  "What's even more terrifying is that we fought back desperately and tried every means, but we couldn't do much harm to them.

  On the opposite side of the Great Yan Army, the military discipline and military literacy are too high, if they fall, they will immediately rise from the back row. generally!"

  "Many brothers on the front line were stunned by the fierce and fearless style of the Great Yan Army and the momentum of approaching step by step, and they were driven mad by the terrifying atmosphere and pressure!"

  "As soon as they were dozens or hundreds of paces away from us, their musketeers began to move!"

  "Their musketeers formed platoons, firing line after line, like a wave, wave after wave, as if it would never stop!"

  "We finally formed a team of frontline brothers who were ready to launch a counter-charge, and they fell down like straws being mowed down!"

  "In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the brothers were killed and injured! But they didn't even get to the side of the family!"

  "The team was broken up, the taxis, brothers, were broken!"

  "It can't stop their tin can-like sword and shield soldiers charging at all, and it is almost a charge.

  Collapse, collapse at once, and get out of hand!"

  "Our army has no resistance during the whole process, and has been crushed and beaten!"

  The messenger said that his face was full of horror and his eyes were desperate. Obviously, he, who was watching the battle on the front line, was also frightened by this terrifying scene.

  Li Zicheng listened to the air-conditioning, and even had some doubts about his life: "The musketeer can still be used like this!"

  Niu Jinxing, who was on the side, quickly explained: "One or two hundred years ago, the Ming army used artillery bombardment, infantry rushing, infantry rushing, and artillery bombing tactics!"

  "Also, the musketeers of the Ming Army also formed a tactic of firing their guns in three stages, which is called a three-stage attack!"

  "This style of play is almost impossible to solve!"

  "It's just that with the Ming Dynasty, it became: decayed, the quality of the musket dropped again and again, and the musket exploded from time to time, causing too many musketeers in the Ming army to be frightened, and they would rather hold a knife instead of I don't want to hold this kind of musket that doesn't hurt anyone but hurts myself!"

  "So in the later period, the fighting power of the Ming army became more and more, and in the end, the old line of business that it started from has been forgotten!"

  "Obviously, the Great Yan Army has the manufacturing technology of guns and artillery. The quality is very good, and there is no worry of self-explosion!"

  "Combined with his fearless style and the desperate protection of the front-row soldiers, it is difficult for our army to break through the front-row formation of the Great Yan Army and enter its musketeers!"

  "Once you can't break into the musketeers at close range, and you can't defeat the soldiers in the front row, then the army will be almost dead!"

  Hearing this, Li Zicheng took a deep breath.

  If it wasn't for the tactics of a hundred or two hundred years ago, if he hadn't personally led the army to smash into the head and bleed, he would be hard-pressed to believe that such an ancient and outdated tactic still possesses such great power.

  The Great Yan Army gave him a hard lesson! Let him realize what it means to be fully crushed by weapons, equipment and military literacy! But now, it's a little too late to wake up! If you want to crack this tactic , then there must be guns of the same size, and muskets of the same size.

  Head-to-head battle! Compete the soldiers' will to fight and the speed of troop replenishment.

  Whoever is stronger will win! It's just that the Dashun Army simply doesn't have so many artillery pieces and muskets! Moreover, both cannons and muskets are indispensable. Without either one, it would not be a system and would not be able to exert this kind of power. come out.

  Even if we are going to make a lot of guns and artillery now, there is not so much silver and craftsmen! Even if there are silver craftsmen and no materials, it is a skillful tiger woman without rice! Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's scalp tingles! I don't want to know, just think about it Immediately made him realize how powerful the Great Yan Army was, and how powerful the resources were behind it.

  "How on earth did Lin Feng do this!"

  "It's hard to say if you can support so many troops, and you can still come up with so many muskets and artillery!"

  "How rich is he!!"

  After this comparison, Li Zicheng couldn't figure it out, and began to doubt his life.

  Lin Feng did not have any gentry support behind him, he was all on his own, but he was able to fight the army and built it so well.

  As for him, almost the gentry in the entire north were supporting him, but he was asked to take out muskets and artillery, but he couldn't come up with them! Not to mention hundreds of thousands of muskets! He couldn't get it either.

  The strength of these two armies can be seen from the number of muskets.

  The difference between heaven and earth! It was completely crushed!

Chapter [-] The Dashun Army Forced into Desperate Situation

  Not only did Li Zicheng doubt life, but even the top generals of the Dashun Army around him began to doubt life one by one.

  This comparison and the strength gap of the Great Yan Army, all took a breath of air.

  Shocked.

  Leaving aside other things for the time being, just the number of guns and artillery and the scale of the installation made them see an insurmountable gap! This is simply a natural moat! You must know that in the Great Yan Army, apart from the front-row soldiers, artillery and Except for the farmer, they were all equipped with muskets.

  Among its infantry, the musketeers are [-]%! There are nearly one million soldiers in the Great Yan Army.

  That's nearly [-] musketeers! [-] muskets! And that's just on the line! Generals who have managed the army know that the stockpile of weapons and equipment is at least twice that of armed soldiers! That is to say , Dayan has at least [-] million muskets in his strategic weapons reserve warehouse! If there are not so many weapons and equipment reserves, there will be no war at all! Because of the war, the weapons and equipment are broken too fast, all this They are all consumables! Especially after the large-scale artillery battle, the damaged weapons and equipment almost doubled.

  This is not to mention the loss of weapons and equipment on the battlefield! In addition to the heavy casualties of the soldiers, it is necessary to replenish the troops. The replenished troops also need to be armed! After this calculation, the high-level generals of the Dashun Army, all The air-conditioning was madly pumping, and I only felt that the Great Yan Army was just a reserve of weapons and equipment, which is an astronomical figure! Not to mention the dense and continuous bombardment of artillery and the pills of the guns have been consumed! What kind of war is this! This is It's obviously throwing money! It makes people lose their temper! It's not ignorant, but it's startling! With the same number of soldiers, the cost of raising troops and starting a war for the Dayan Army is at least a dozen of those of the Dashun Army. A hundred times as much!! How rich is this Dayan? In the land of Jiufu, Lin Feng has pulled out nearly one million fully-armed soldiers! This Lin Feng is really a talent for construction! The prime minister of the Shun regime, and an expert in construction, Niu Jinxing has a deep understanding of it. He simply calculated the accounts, and he was a little stunned.

  Even if he wanted to break his head, he could not figure out what method Lin Feng used to create nearly two million muskets.

  It only took one or two years for Lin Feng to become a powerful force! In one or two years, he was able to manufacture nearly two million muskets. Such an astronomical figure! This is a field that he simply cannot understand! As far as he knows, making muskets , especially to make quality guns:, that requires at least several days of careful manufacture by an experienced craftsman.

  And there are several apprentice craftsmen waiting around to complete it.

  Therefore, it is of high quality and extremely expensive! Its complicated craftsmanship is worth the price! Not to mention the consumption of those projectiles, shells and gunpowder.

  That's no different from throwing silver coins! Why did Daming gradually become musketeers and artillerymen: no, it's rare, and poor quality is one reason! The most important reason is that Daming has no money! Without money, how can he afford it? This kind of soldier! In the years when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, among the three major battalions in the capital, the world-famous Shenji Battalion, this army that was almost entirely made of firearms, almost existed in name only.

  It's because of lack of money.

  Why is Niu Jinxing able to have all of this within a year or two in the Dayan Military Region, and he is too lazy to think.

  He only knew that the current Da Yan army had completely crushed the Da Shun army! It was not a level opponent at all! In the face of muskets and artillery, even the crowd tactics that the Da Shun army had always been good at were useless. .

  The premise of using human sea tactics is that you must have the ability to kill the enemy.

  means.

  But now, the Dashun Army has almost no means to kill the Dayan Army.

  The human sea tactics are only used for sending people's heads and achievements.

  Thinking of this, Niu Jinxing became anxious, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, if our army wants to confront the Great Yan Army, we must speed up the construction of musketeers and artillerymen in the army."

  "And the scale cannot be less, and it needs to be installed on a large scale!"

  "Otherwise, our army will not be able to effectively kill the Great Flame Army with only archers and kerosene attacks!"

  "If there are musketeers, our army can at least use muskets to resist the infantry attack of the Great Yan Army on the defensive line!"

  "Even if they are defeated in the end, they can still cause damage to the personnel of the Great Flame Army!"

  "It's also a consumption!"

  Li Zicheng nodded when he heard the words, and then said with a great headache: "Your suggestion, Prime Minister, is very good, but there is a problem, where did I get so much money from Dashun to manufacture muskets on a large scale?"

  "Even if there is so much silver, where can such craftsmen and materials come from to make it!"

  "You must know that in my Dashun army, even fine iron is missing!"

  "And making muskets requires fine iron."

  Li Zicheng is really having a headache. He doesn't know anything about construction and manufacturing.

  Let him wield a saber and go beheading on the battlefield.

  Let him build his own territory and govern the world, he really can't do it! He has no such experience at all.

  "This"

  Niu Jinxing was speechless when he was asked. Although Li Zicheng didn't understand these questions, the questions he raised pointed to the point! Of course, Dashun has musket skills.

  However, the ability to manufacture muskets on a large scale means that "there are a large number of craftsmen who can make muskets and artillery in the capital, and they are fully capable of making muskets and artillery of high quality."

  "It's just that with refined iron now, because of the successive wars, the whole world is vying for strategic resources such as refined iron and gunpowder. Not to mention the price is extremely high, and the quantity is very small."

  Niu Jinxing said with a frown, and while he was talking, a look of shock and astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

  Li Zicheng was stunned when he saw it, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

  Niu Jinxing almost cried and said: "Wei Chen suddenly remembered that the strategic resources such as fine iron and gunpowder seemed to be sold by Dayan merchants."

  "Every time I release a little bit, let all forces spend a lot of money to purchase!"

  "And, in the past few months, there have been attacks by unknown armed men in mines and steel mills all over the world, causing them to stop production and loot craftsmen!"

  Speaking of this, Li Zicheng immediately understood, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "That is to say, all this was instructed by Da Yan Lin Feng!"

  "They started months ago and have all strategic resources at their fingertips!"

  "With a small amount of strategic resources, the purpose of plundering the world's wealth has been achieved!"

  "It's a good calculation!!"

  "This person is really despicable and shameless!!"

  When encountering such an opponent, he made arrangements in advance everywhere, which made Li Zicheng very helpless and passive.

  Now even though I know the importance of guns and artillery, I still don't know how to break the game.

  Now the Dashun Army has been forced into a corner! Feilu reminds you: three things to read: collect, recommend, and divide

Chapter [-] Victory over the Dashun Army, Li Zicheng flees

  Boom boom boom! Just when Li Zicheng and other high-level generals who worked in Dashun were having a headache, the deafening sound of artillery tearing the sky sounded again, and this time it was very close.

  The continuous, earth-shattering bombardment, heard Li Zicheng and the others, all opened their mouths wide, with a look of horror and anxiety on their faces.

  "Report!"
