This kind of artillery is really good. It is not only well-made, but also has a very exquisite structure, which is much stronger than the Fran machine cannon.

Qi Jin checked the cannon body and barrel with a little love, and the excitement in his eyes became increasingly intense.

He opened the cannon door again, took out a sweat towel, wrapped it in hot shells and inspected it carefully, then sighed: "If each cannon can be equipped with a few more of these shells, then this light cannon is simply the nemesis of the cavalry."

This is very reasonable.

In fact, this kind of sub-cannon shell is equivalent to the shells of later generations. Except for the lack of primer fire and cannot be fired by impact, the others are basically the same.

If you can get a few more of these sub-bombs and load the ammunition in advance, the firing speed of this light artillery will be scary. A skilled gunner may only take a few seconds to fire a shell. In addition, the time to replace the sub-bombs, you can fire a second shell in about ten seconds.

This is also the most advanced part of Thor.

Just one word, hurry!

The launch speed is amazingly fast.

On the contrary, if there are not many sub-bombs, then this Thor is no different from ordinary cannons, because after firing one shell, you have to wait for the sub-bombs to cool down and clean before you can load the ammunition, and the firing speed is basically the same as that of ordinary cannons.

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, this kind of artillery was originally intended to be equipped with a few more shells. It was just because time was rushed and there was no time to mass produce shells. How many rounds do you think a cannon is equipped with? Are ten enough?"

Qi Jin said without hesitation: "Ten sub-bombs are enough, because the range of this type of artillery is only about one mile. When the cavalry launches a charge, the distance of one mile is basically only five or six snaps of fingers, and this type of artillery can fire up to five shells between five or six snaps of fingers. If the enemy cavalry is defeated in one round of attack and is ready to launch a second round of attacks, five reloaded sub-bombs will be reserved, because the gap between the two rounds of attacks can be organized to reload the five sub-bombs that had been fired previously."

What makes sense is that each light cannon is equipped with ten shells.

Taichang then asked: "If the Shenji Camp is completed, how many light artillery do you think you need to equip it to defeat the 50,000 Jiannu Cavalry?"

This is not enough to have artillery alone!

Qi Jin thought for a while and then pointed to the battle chariot lane outside the school ground: "Master, firearms are indeed powerful tools for dealing with cavalry, but if you want to defeat local cavalry, you must be equipped with combat chariots, because only combat chariots can stop the local cavalry's rushing. If there are no combat chariots, once local cavalry launch a intensive charge and advance to the infringing formation, the infantry formation can be dispersed by relying on the chasm of war horses alone. Therefore, even if there are firearms, chariots must be equipped to defeat enemy cavalry. Moreover, combat chariots can also transport artillery and ammunition. If soldiers are asked to run with cannons and ammunition, the marching speed will be greatly affected."

What it says makes so much sense.

Sure enough, the development of weapons is constantly improved according to the needs of war. Just like artillery, when it develops to a certain extent, special artillery vehicles will appear, otherwise, they will not be able to run by relying on people to carry them.

Taichang couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, then give each cannon a chariot. How many artillery and chariots do you think you need to have 10,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers to defeat 50,000 Jiannu cavalry."

Well, this seems that just having cannons and chariots is not enough, but also muskets!

Are I asking too much?

Qi Jin couldn't help but look at Taichang, and then said carefully: "The emperor forgives the crime. There is another important thing. I forgot to say that artillery is usually used in conjunction with muskets. The cannons start to be bombarded for about three hundred steps, and the muskets start to be fired for about two hundred steps, and the crossbows can be used for about one hundred steps, so that they can form an uninterrupted and dense attack, and the lethality is much stronger than using cannons alone."

OK, there will be muskets.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, the new musket is almost made. If you have anything else, what do you need to be equipped for the soldiers of the 10,000 Shenji Camp to defeat 50,000 Jiannu cavalry? Just say it."

I dare not add any more. We can find a way to find other wolves, palladium, shields, and even Qi's saber.

Qi Jin thought about it carefully, and then said carefully: "If you want to defeat 50,000 Jiannu cavalry, 10,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers need to be equipped with 1,000 light artillery, 1,000 tanks, and 2,000 muskets."

These are not many. You should know that his request is to fight five at one, and it is to fight infantry to fight cavalry.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, just step up the training. I will find a way for you to get a complete equipment within one year."

The emperor is really brave!

If the Shenji Camp is equipped with so many firearms and chariots, it will be invincible.

If it were before, Qi Jin would never dare to think about it.

Just kidding, one thousand cannons and two thousand muskets, go dream!

Whether it was the Longqing Dynasty or the Wanli Dynasty, the people above did not pay attention to these things, or no one cared about this at all. The tiger squat cannon they used was still cast by themselves.

It's different now. The emperor attaches so much importance to it, and muskets and cannons are definitely not a problem.

Qi Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the general of the Imperial Army is not good at speaking. In short, as long as the muskets, artillery and chariots are all equipped, the Imperial Army guarantees that in a year, the Shenji Camp will definitely defeat 50,000 Jiannu cavalry!"

Very good!

Jiannu is less than 100,000 troops now. If the Shenji Camp is expanded to 20,000, then wouldn’t that just one Shenji Camp can beat Jiannu to urinate!

Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help but excitedly said, "General Qi, why don't I expand the Shenji Camp to 20,000 immediately. Two years later, if all equipment is complete, won't we completely defeat Jiannu?"

Uh, this one.

Your Majesty, you think about war too simply!

Of course, Qi Jin dared not say this.

He thought about it carefully before he said carefully: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that if you are really equipped, 20,000 soldiers of the Shenji Camp can indeed defeat the 100,000 army of Jiannu. However, this war is not a wishful thinking. Jiannu knew he was defeated and could not rush up to die! It was like the Battle of Sarhu. If you face the enemy head-on, Jiannu would definitely not be able to defeat nearly 200,000 elite troops of the border. However, they used the terrain, rain, snow and command errors, and miraculously won. Therefore, when fighting, the war was focused on the right time, place, people, and firearms could increase our chances of victory, but on the battlefield, firearms were not the only factor that determines the success or failure of the battle!"

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Indeed, he thought about war too simply.

Jiannu knew that the Shenji Camp had fierce firepower, would he rush up to die?

That is absolutely impossible. Jiannu is quite a thief in war!

They can completely take advantage of the right time and place to lead the Shenji Camp into the ditch, and even directly use the maneuverability of the cavalry to constantly harass the supply line, leaving the Shenji Camp without food and ammunition to replenish it!

Thinking of this, Taichang asked embarrassedly: "Then how do you think we can completely defeat Jiannu?"

This question is hard to answer.

Qi Jin frowned and pondered for a while, then he said carefully: "Your Majesty, General Mo felt that cavalry was essential to completely defeat Jiannu. Because only cavalry could catch up with cavalry, and even if the Shenji Battalion was equipped with chariots, the speed of the Shenji Battalion could not be compared with the cavalry. Therefore, we must have cavalry. Even if our cavalry could not defeat Jiannu's cavalry, we could chase and entangle them and create fighter jets for Shenji Battalion. In addition, considering that the regaining of Liaodong, it was necessary to attack the city, and infantry was definitely indispensable. Therefore, General Mo believed that if we wanted to completely defeat Jiannu, we would have to have at least 50,000 elite cavalry and 50,000 elite infantrymen."

Well, the infantry are okay, the five barracks and the imperial guards are basically infantrymen.

Question: Where can I find this cavalry?
