It is inevitable that the firearms force will become the new master of the battlefield, but the evolution process is not to eliminate all cold weapons and arms at one time.
In that change, the cavalry will certainly have a place for a long time. They will still be sharp knives on the battlefield and shoulder the important task of breakthrough.
The largest number of cavalry appeared in the parade, which clearly indicated the future development direction of cavalry.
Looking at the sudden cavalry of the Han Army, several of them have moved closer to the sudden cavalry of the 18th century, that is, they have removed the real heavy armor and replaced it with lighter plate armor.
There was only one flintlock infantry square. When they reached the white line, they shouted slogans and changed their walking posture to goose step.
Goose step is not the original name of positive step. It has a variety of postures, which are different from the swing of the hand, the position of pressing and holding, the span of the foot and the range of kicking.
When they crossed the white line, they kicked about 75 cm straight ahead with their left foot, put proper force on the sole of their feet, and move the center of gravity forward at the same time, and move their right foot according to this method; The right hand puts the rifle vertically on the right shoulder, and the left hand will swing the arm forward with the step, bend the elbow, slightly level the forearm, and move the palm inward and slightly downward.
Except for very few people who saw such a line during their training, those who saw it for the first time were instantly attracted.
Goose step is a way of walking that is not fast. The posture looks arrogant. The soldiers walk in line, which reflects strong arrogance and solemnity.
Liu Yan took the goose step of the German army during World War II and didn't use his most familiar reason... It is that the control of the space-time administration is too strict. Maybe there will be a river crab beast suddenly, and his story is over.
The square array equipped with flint guns should have welcomed the warmest cheers. Unfortunately, the people only thought that the gun was a stick. Although they thought the new military uniform was beautiful, they thought it was contrary to the different clothes of Zhuxia. They just got polite cheers.
"I named the shaped flint gun 'twelve type rifle'." Liu Yan is named after the truly finalized year: "it has a total length of 1.65 meters without a bayonet, and 1.85 meters with a bayonet. The whole body weighs 14 kilograms, the caliber is 20 mm, and the projectile weighs 0.11 or 12. The maximum range is more than 400 meters, and the accurate shooting distance is less than 100 meters."
The development of flint gun was not started at the beginning. The first generation of flint gun was a rope gun, but the rope gun was only used for excessive research. Liu Yan repeatedly pointed out that he crossed over to the flint gun stage, and even studied and made a breech gun.
I will choose flint guns as the first generation of rifles instead of more advanced breech guns. It is mainly due to the factors of production time and cost, and the bullet production required by breech guns is quite difficult.
As a rifle to be loaded in a large number of columns, the choice is definitely not the best. It should be the most appropriate. Obviously, for the present, the flint gun is the most appropriate one.
Flint gun is just a general term. For example, the ordinary barrel is also a flint gun, and the linear barrel is also a flint gun. The latter is much better than the former in accuracy and range.
Similarly, due to the factors of cost and manufacturing man hours, the number of flint guns with wire bore barrel will be much less than that of ordinary barrel.
Without the warm cheers that should have been received, the flint gun infantry array passed in the eyes of the review.
The cavalry on straddling horses followed, but they were very different from the other cavalry reviewed in front. They were wearing new military uniforms made of all cloth. They looked at no armor at all, and held a flint gun slightly shorter than that used by infantry.
They are a line of musketeers equipped with flint guns for riding and shooting.
"They can be regarded as alternative archers. The difference is that the main weapon is flint gun." Liu Yan felt the ignorant force of the people watching the parade, especially those who didn't know the existence of flint guns: "the musket cavalry is equipped with two kinds of flint guns, one long and one short. The long one is only one shot, and the short standard configuration is two, which can be added according to the situation."
The range of the long handle flint gun used for riding is not much different from that used by infantry. The range of the short flint gun is greatly reduced. The maximum range is 50 meters, and the effective killing range is within 30 meters.
In addition to the long and short flint guns, the Musketeers were lined up with sabers.
At the beginning, Liu Yan actually wanted to make a three eye fire gun. He wanted to restore the ancients to Guan Ning's iron cavalry, but reason finally defeated the evil taste. He directly made the standard fire gun cavalry in one step.
All the important officials have seen the drills of the firearm troops. There is no doubt that Liu Yan said that the firearm troops will become the new masters of the battlefield. After all, the artillery has been applied to the battlefield, and the power and impact on the war situation can only be seen by all.
Most of them don't know what role the Musketeers will play in the end, mainly because they have no intuitive impression of how strong the Musketeers can be. It's only because drilling and actual combat are always two different things. They want to let them admit that the musketeers are strong enough to pass the battlefield test.
The firearm troops equipped with flint guns went one by one, and the response was ordinary. In fact, it was also related to their failure to go to the battlefield.
After the soldiers' square formation, it became an equipment unit for review.
The instruments of the cold weapon era were mainly crossbows, equipped with some traditional siege instruments.
Their appearance once again warmed up the scene because people knew what their role was and their power. It was not like they didn't know what a flint gun was.
When the horse drawn cannon appeared, deafening cheers broke out at the scene.
The gun is a bronze gun with a gun frame and wheels, which are pulled by a different number of horses depending on the weight.
Today's Bronze guns do not pay much attention. The gun itself is not different from cannon, howitzer and mortar. It is mainly distinguished by the shot fired.
Most of the bronze guns equipped by the Han Army are of light weight. The minimum caliber is 75 mm and the maximum caliber is 150 mm. They are uniformly called field guns.
The bronze gun first became powerful in the Liaodong battlefield. However, at that time, the number of explosives used was far more than that of bronze gun to launch bullets, but it still left a deep impression on the world.
Knowing what bronze guns are and how powerful they are, the people are not stingy with their cheers. Compared with flint guns, they respond with a hundred times of enthusiasm.
"Artillery!" Yuli looked intently at the bronze gun array passing by. He wanted to see the structure of each gun and distinguish them: "the most powerful embodiment of the Han Empire, the artifact on the battlefield!"
There are people who took part in the decisive battle of the A3 continental plain. They will never forget what they saw and heard there. Especially when they dream back at midnight, they are repeatedly awakened by the scene of explosion.
"I'll never forget those dull noises in my life. The earth was thrown up like a volcanic eruption in the explosion. There was only earth shaking and mountain shaking in the world." Julian had nightmares about gunpowder explosion more than once. Each time, the scene was different. He was bombed in the field battlefield and during the city defense: "today, I finally saw what they looked like."
Foreign visitors have one count, one eye is staring at the artillery troops passing in line. Their eyes are full of greed. They want to take those guns away with their eyes so that they can take them back as their own.
In fact, they have more than once thought of using special means to spy, especially the production method of gunpowder, but no one has taken action for the time being.
The posture of the Han Empire is so powerful that anyone who wants to use a crooked mind should think about the consequences.
In the eyes of other countries, the Han Empire was not only powerful, but also an aggressive country.
If only the Han Empire is strong, their fear is limited. The problem is that the Han Empire is not a country that can be offended in any way, which is a fact seen from the Gupta empire.
According to the declaration of the Han Empire, the Gupta Empire invaded the sphere of influence of the Han Empire, but who doesn't know that the expansion of the Han Empire coincided with the expansion direction of the Gupta Empire, and even the expansion of the Gupta Empire to Nanyang was far earlier than the Han Empire, but the Han people just felt that the Gupta Empire had entered their sphere of influence and declared war on this basis, And destroyed the Gupta empire.
Well, the Gupta empire was destroyed just because the expansion direction coincided with the Han Empire, but there is nothing to say. Rome and sassanne also used similar reasons to destroy the country.
The difference between the Han Empire and Rome and sassanne is that the Han army was too relaxed when it destroyed the Gupta empire.
Rome and sassanne are also great powers in the world
In particular, Sasan is not far from the Gupta empire. Whether by land or sea, it must be more convenient to destroy the Gupta empire? However, the Persians did not want to invade the Gupta empire. The key is that the Persians have not really competed with the Gupta Empire when they go south. Only the Gupta Empire supports the countries adjacent to the Persians, the pace of the Persians going south is blocked.
The Romans naturally coveted the wealth of the Gupta empire. They must have thought about invading more than once, but they just thought about it, and they can only think about it.
The Han Empire could not invade the Gupta empire from the land and chose the most difficult cross sea battle. If the fact that the Gupta empire was destroyed by the Han Army had not been in front of us, I don't know how many people would be waiting to see the jokes of the Han people.
"Such a Han Empire makes life unable to afford a little provocation." Cicero kept smiling bitterly: "unless it's inaction, it's going to end..."
Powerful and without any scruples, anyone who provokes is to send his troops to destroy the country. However, it is definitely not just muttering in his mouth. The Han Empire has proved the cruel fact that "distance is not a problem" with the demise of the Gupta empire.
Dare to ask, who dares to provoke easily?
After the division of the artillery troops, the whole parade came to the link of offering prisoners.
Liu Yan originally wanted to have a link where people could march on white tiger Avenue, but when he put it forward, it was opposed by almost everyone.
It's not that people are despised, nor that people are unqualified. There are still a lot of non soldiers who are qualified to set foot on the white tiger avenue for review. The key is that everyone is worried about problems.
Ordinary people just have discipline, but no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.
When problems arise on such occasions, it is not one or two people who lose face, but a lot of people who lose their head.
The main reason is that today's unusual military parade involves Liu Yan's claim to the emperor. If something goes wrong today, will claiming the emperor become a joke?
On the white tiger Avenue, walk from the last square. There is an interval of about ten minutes. There is no team coming again.
When people appeared again in the distance, people saw the brightly dressed people walking in front. They were dancing funny while walking, as if they were still singing something.
There was such a link in offering prisoners, so that those who were originally noble could dress up and dance a funny dance, which was intended to humiliate.
After those people dressed in colorful clothes appeared, there was a roar at the scene. Every Han people laughed heartily and expressed that they were subjects of the victorious country.
Today, there are not many prisoners who were arranged for a singing and dancing parade, including the prefect of Changguang County captured by Liu Yanqi at home, and Chandragupta sent after the war of the Gupta empire.
The earlier those captured, the more familiar they will be with such behavior. Mainly, they will be pulled out to slip away at large-scale events every year. Practice makes perfect.
"I almost forgot the existence of these people." Liu Yan is talking about some people who have long been captured, including Li Nong. He rarely showed a satisfied expression: "I don't feel happy much..."
Ran min's eyes have been staring at Li Nong. Seriously speaking, he felt a little palpitation. More than once, he thought that if he had not been attached to the whole country, he would certainly not accept the fate of being captured, but his children would be a member of singing and dancing.
People with ideas are not only ran min, Huan Wen, Xie an, Yu Yi, Yuan Qiao and others who are watching the ceremony. When they see Sima Zhen, the last emperor of Sima family, they can't help thinking about what will happen if they don't know the current affairs.
Sima Zhen, who was only ten years old, was also among the singing and dancing crowd, and his small body was trying hard to follow the rhythm of the rest.
Sima is not the only one taking part in the parade. Some of Sima's clans are also among them. They are old and young, and have become their own columns.
If you follow Liu Yan's real idea and kill Sima, you won't frown. In the end, you still choose to leave these guys as exhibits.
There is also a column of prisoners of Shijie Zhao. They are the people who work hard to do funny dance. They are deeply afraid that they will not live if they don't work hard.
"This is really..." Julian looked at those people who were like clowns trying to please the audience: "hair (heart) people (have) deep (more) province (palpitation)..."
