Chapter 989: Conquer! Conquer!

[92zw] Qi Guangyi's sight immediately focused on the carbine in Xiao Ming's mouth.
　　
　　 With Xiao Ming's permission, he took the carbine and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. The carbine in his hand was indeed similar to the Han-style rifle, but the difference was that it was relatively short and very light.
　　
　　 Now he also has some knowledge of firearms. The carbine of this design is very suitable for shooting on horses, but on the contrary, the range will be slightly shorter.
　　
　　 But even so, this is far longer than the barbarian's bow and arrow shooting range, and these years they have always suffered from long-range weapons in the battle with the barbarian on the grassland.
　　
　　 Now that they have a carbine, they can completely reverse this disadvantage.
　　
　　 "Emperor, how many carbines are there?" Qi Guangyi asked excitedly.
　　
　　 "Not many. The military factory produced a total of 8,000 carbines. It should be enough for this war. With these carbines you can form an elite lancer against the barbarians."
　　
　　 Xiao Ming and Qi Guangyi came to the front of the map. The area north of the Great Wall and west of Raozhou is still controlled by the Golden Horde.
　　
　　 "Eight thousand, indeed a lot." Qi Guangyi asked expectantly: "The emperor, is this also the same metal bullet as the Han-style rifle?"
　　
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled bitterly. He said: "Don't think about it. Metal bullets are extremely difficult to produce, and the caliber of the carbine is 6.5 mm, and the caliber of the bullet is different. This means the use of metal bullets in military factories. A brand new production line needs to be built, and it will take a long time, so you can use paper bullets for the time being, it’s enough.

　　
　　 Qi Guangyi was a little disappointed, but when I thought about it, it was better than going home empty-handed, and now using paper bullets is just a stopgap measure, maybe it won’t be long before you can use metal bullets.
　　
　　 Thinking of this, he said: "At the end, he is a little greedy. This kind of carbine is indeed suitable for immediate shooting, more than enough to deal with the barbarian cavalry."
　　
　　 Xiao Ming nodded. In order to facilitate the cavalry to carry, this carbine also has a strap, which can be carried by the cavalry.
　　
　　 In this case, the cavalry can switch between melee and long-range shooting at any time.
　　
After showing the carbine, Xiao Ming continued: "The carbine is one thing, and the will to fight is another matter for a while. The weapon-only theory emerging in the army is very dangerous. This will make our soldiers rely too much on weapons and forget. It is the foundation of victory in the war."
　　
　　 In the past ten years, they have basically used superior weapons to defeat the enemy in previous wars, which gave the soldiers and generals the illusion that weapons determine war.
　　
　　 But he knows that weapons are only a factor in war. In modern times, his country’s arrogance that weapons are better than a country with a generational difference is an example.
　　
　　 Qi Guangyi looked serious when he heard the words, he said: "The final will always remember the teachings of the brave who meets on the narrow road."
　　
"Well, that's right." Xiao Ming patted Qi Guangyi on the shoulder, "This Northern Expedition is mainly led by two old generals Niu Ben and Luo Quan. You cavalry must actively cooperate. I am waiting for your good news. The army is assembled, you can rest at home for five days and set off."
　　
　　 "Yes, the emperor." Qi Guangyi leaned forward.
　　
　　 April 9th.
　　
　　 After months of preparation, the army conquering the Golden Horde assembled at Qingzhou Station. With the powerful transportation capacity of steam locomotives, 80,000 soldiers went straight from Qingzhou to Raozhou.
　　
　　 A large number of weapons, ammunition and canned food arrived in Raozhou with these soldiers.
　　
　　 "General, these cans are very rich."
　　
　　 After a day and night trek, the first batch of soldiers and supplies arrived in Raozhou, Niu Ben, Luo Quan and Qi Guangyi arrived in the first steam locomotive.
　　
　　 Qi Guangyi was also eye-opening when inspecting the canned food delivered.
　　
　　 This military canned food is no stranger to him. During the Civil War, canned food was a sharp weapon for soldiers to conquer.
　　
　　 But since then, he hasn't seen canned food for military industry, because the guard Raozhou eats ordinary food and does not need canned food.
　　
　　 So the military canned food sent this time was an eye-opener for him.
　　
"Since the first canning factory made a fortune in the Civil War, many canned food factories have appeared in Qingzhou. In order to attract orders from the Military Aircraft Department, these factories have also racked their brains to make all kinds of cans. Such a rich military can."
　　
　　 While speaking, Niu Ben pointed to different cans and said, "This is canned pork, this is canned potatoes, this is canned fruit, this is canned biscuits..."
　　
　　 Niu Ben was talking, Luo Quan was smiling, and he said to Qi Guangyi:
The army’s food is getting better and better now. Where did we have this condition when we fought.

　　
　　 Qi Guangyi was dumbfounded. Today he has seen it.
　　
　　 checked some food, and the three of them waited for the first group of soldiers to gather before they walked into the city.
　　
　　 When I arrived at Raozhou Camp, Niu Ben said: "The logistics of this war is not a problem. The conditions for the war are much better than before. If all this is defeated, I will have no face to go back to see the emperor."
　　
　　 After a pause, he asked Qi Guangyi, "Now, let's talk about the situation of the barbarians."
　　
In response, Qi Guangyi walked to the map of the grassland and pondered for a moment. He said: "Since the barbarians were driven back to the grassland by us, the barbarians have suffered a great loss, but the lean camels are bigger than the horses. Although the barbarians are in decline, The strength is still strong, and the number of cavalry is about 260,000."
　　
"Although the barbarians lost the Kanto ~EbookFREE.me~, the cavalry lost not much. They lost the most slaves." Luo Quan said: "These 260,000 people are not a small number, almost twice ours. "
　　
　　 Niu Ben nodded slightly when he heard the words.
　　
Qi Guangyi continued: "These 260,000 cavalrymen are not gathered together, but distributed on the vast grasslands. In order to avoid our attack, the golden tents of the Golden Horde have been moved to this place, far away from us. ."
　　
　　 "This is Yili, it's really far away." Niu Ben's eyes narrowed, and Qi Guangyi's map has marked the distribution of the barbarians in the grassland.
　　
　　In the vast grasslands, the barbarian tribes occupy different grasslands, and each tribe has different strengths. These tribes seem to be scattered, but he knows very well that once the war comes, these tribes will gather together and become their enemies.
　　
Through Qi Guangyi’s introduction, they gradually became clear about the current distribution of the barbarians. Luo Quan said at this time:
Our infantry is equipped with Han-style rifles and guards artillery. As long as the hollow square is used, the barbarians will have no parry. Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much. When you serve as a soldier, you will send troops to the grasslands and kill the barbarian tribes to avoid future troubles! "[Love Chinese]) Download the free reader!!
