"At present, it seems that this is the only way to go." The first officer said at this time.

1242 Artillery Attack
"Huh lah, huh, huh," in the workshop of Qin State's mint factory, the printing machine was running at full speed,
A workshop worker wearing white gloves neatly arranges the printed full-page banknotes, and then puts them into the cutting machine.
In another workshop, the printed Korean banknotes are packaged and sealed, and the Korean staff pastes the seals, and then puts them into special cash boxes and transports them to South Korea.
While in Xinzheng, South Korea, Zhang Liang hurriedly ran to the Palace of the King of Han,
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, our Korean banknotes have been printed," Zhang Liang immediately told Han Shu the good news,
"What?" Han Shu had already heard clearly, but she still didn't dare to confirm, she immediately asked again,
"Paper money, our paper money has been printed," Zhang Liang repeated at this time,
"Hehe," Han Shu smiled, her joy was beyond words,
"Very good, very good," Han Shu said with a smile,
"We will go much smoother in the future," Han Shu said. The printing of banknotes is just the beginning. Han Shu knows very well that the emergence of Korean banknotes will bring huge changes to South Korea. This change will bring South Korea into the In a qualitative change,
In Qi State, the Qi army is launching a sharp attack. These sharp attacks are not launched by infantry, but by artillery. The artillery will take advantage of their long-range attack to launch military operations.
"Target, two squares to the left," a veteran with the sign of a sergeant held a binoculars in one hand and waved his arm in the other to signal to the artillerymen.
"Target city wall, let it go," the sergeant shouted loudly,
"Boom," a loud noise came immediately,
"Boom," another cannon shot sounded,
"Bang bang," the two cannons fired together,
"Woohoo," the shells roared towards the city wall,
"Boom," a huge explosion exploded on the edge of the city wall. The dense tents and some temporary shacks were overturned by the explosion, and the women or children inside the buildings were killed to the ground.
"Boom," there was another explosion. The bombardment was still going on, and people fell down constantly. The explosion blew up stones and various sundries everywhere, and those splashed objects became anti-personnel In addition, there are some unknown organizations, these gunpowder splattered everywhere, and the originally black gunpowder smoke also turned brown because of the splash of these **** blood,
"We chose to use artillery to attack, which is correct and a very clear choice," an artillery colonel said to an infantry colonel standing on a high ground, watching the shelling in the distance with a telescope,
In the restructured Qi army, the Qi army formally established the artillery, which is parallel to the infantry. For example, in terms of the military salary system, the Qi army established the ranks of the artillery, the infantry and the cavalry. For example, the artillery colonel or the infantry colonel,
"Can you bombard them like this, can they surrender?" At this time, the infantry colonel asked,
"Yes, our artillery fire is unusually fierce, you know," said the artillery colonel,
"This time, we mobilized nearly a hundred artillery pieces, and the concentration of artillery pieces is unprecedented," said the artillery colonel excitedly.
"You are also taking junk goods from Zhao people and Koreans," said the infantry colonel, the rumble of cannon just covered up his complaints and dissatisfaction,
The cannons of the Qi army came from the materials reserved by the Zhao people. As a kind of compensation for the Qi country, when the Zhao army withdrew, they gave the cannons they used as relics to the Qi people. The number of these artillery pieces is not too much. At the same time, the Koreans also sent some artillery to the Qi people. This is how the artillery of the Qi army was established. In addition, the Koreans also sent some officers to the Qi army to teach the Qi army how to use these cannons.
The delivery of these cannons helped the people of Qi to establish their own artillery. At this time, they were considered real artillery. The artillery calibers of the regular army of Qi before were not uniform, but this time, they got the unified manufacturing from Qin. The unified caliber of the artillery is the five-inch caliber artillery made in Qin Dynasty. The five-inch caliber made in Qin Dynasty is equivalent to about 110mm. This is a concept that Shangwen learned later. The caliber of the artillery is more than [-] mm. Such a large-caliber artillery is quite powerful. In addition, the use of rifling and the production of conical shells increases the range of the artillery. It is an old type of artillery, but the production volume of Qin State is very large, mainly because of the huge demand, and it is simple to manufacture, it is a simple casting structure, and there are many materials, mainly bronze structure, and steel is rapidly replacing bronze. In this era, due to the rapid technological innovation, steel is rapidly replacing iron. This rapid change has resulted in a large amount of bronze that needs to be processed before the production of bronze, and these bronzes have become important materials for casting artillery, especially in terms of weapons. The country supports an army of one million, and there are quite a lot of bronze materials from the bronze weapons. The people of Qin quickly cast these bronze materials into cannons, but the styles of these cannons are all smoothbore guns, and there are also some rifled guns. They improved the shells used by the artillery and the aiming system. In addition, they directly improved some of the front-loading artillery to the rear-loading, and the loading speed was greatly accelerated. In the ignition method, the percussion type was used. The use of these firing methods is mainly due to the use of fire caps, without fire caps, with the emergence of thundermercury, faster and safer primer gunpowder, Qin has made rapid progress in bullets, and such things as primers, It is regarded as a luxury among the six countries. This kind of thing is consumed very quickly. Although it is fast, it consumes too much money, which directly causes them to be unable to equip it. It will cost more money to buy these artillery, the price is too expensive, even the new South Korean army that has just emerged, they have to think carefully when equipping this kind of fire cap, after all, the price is extremely expensive,
Although some arsenals in the state of Qin also launched steel cannons, the aiming accuracy of the cannons far exceeds those of the bronze cannons, and the operation is easy. Although the fixed shells are not used, the loading speed is almost the same as the fixed shells, but But because the price is expensive, although it is light, the price is unacceptable to others. The most terrible thing is that the artillery shells need to be specially customized, and they cannot cast them at all. In order to save some expenses, some buyers cast them by themselves. In this way, in addition, Chu State is also casting these shells by itself. Artillery is a price, and the price of subsequent artillery shells, especially those more complicated grenades, is also unacceptable to these buyers.
However, Qin State's large-scale export of these artillery has solved a problem, that is, the caliber of the artillery is very consistent, the five-inch artillery or the six-inch artillery, and the two-inch caliber artillery are very powerful. These calibers solve the problem. Logistical issues, unified caliber is an important basis for the establishment of artillery,
The caliber of the artillery built by the Qi army was very inconsistent. There were artillery calibers that they tried to forge, and some imported artillery and captured artillery. Before that, various arsenals in Qin State manufactured artillery of different calibers. These artillery were equipped in the Qi army. Among them, the supply pressure caused by artillery of different calibers is very high. The Qi army is very clear about this. Sometimes, even if there are artillery and shells, the artillery cannot be fired. The reason is that the caliber of the shells is not uniform.
A unified caliber is the best way to reduce logistics pressure. The Qin army solved this problem early, but the Qi army only solved it now. With a unified caliber, the logistics problem will be solved. This is also an important foundation for the Qi army to truly build artillery ,
Not only that, the continuous logistical supplies from South Korea are also an important reason why the Qi army can use artillery on a large scale. Without stable logistical supplies, especially ammunition supplies, it is impossible for the Qi army to use such a large artillery attack.
In addition, the artillery system of the Qi Army also adopted South Korea's suggestion, adopting the three-three system, and establishing the artillery unit of the Qi Army. An artillery platoon has four artillery pieces, three artillery platoons establish an artillery company, and three artillery companies establish an artillery unit. battalion, and three artillery battalions established an artillery regiment, and this time, the Qi army used one artillery regiment plus two ** artillery battalions to launch an attack. Because of the limited number of artillery, the artillery did not have all the equipment. For those weapons, the number of their artillery is still lacking. According to this calculation, the number of artillery in an artillery regiment should have exceeded one hundred artillery pieces. However, because the artillery lacks artillery, the artillery units of the Qi Army still lack artillery equipment.
The emergence of the artillery unit, and its establishment in a more orderly manner, has brought Qi's military to a more advanced step, and this step is also the ability of the Qi army to choose to use artillery to launch an attack after choosing to besiege the city.
"Let go," the artillery sergeant still shouted loudly. The dense gunpowder smoke has shrouded the entire firing position in the smoke, and the city of Linzi in the distance has also fallen into the thick smoke. The smell of gunpowder is everywhere, and gunpowder is everywhere. smoke,
"I hope our attack will be very effective. Under pressure, they can listen to our opinions and surrender directly," Tian Heng looked at the smoky Linzi City, while the counselors on the side watched all this calmly, only formed Pressure is not enough, there must be interests to solve all these problems, the siege with no way out is still a dead end,
From, watch genuine content for the first time!
1242 This is a good thing
The artillery bombardment of the Qi army lasted for a long time. The artillery bombardment continued for a whole day, and the cannons fired in turn.
"These goddamn artillery, the guns are hitting so hard, my ears are almost deaf," said a corporal of the Qi army, who was nestled in the trench, holding his rifle,
"Boom," the roar of guns came from a distance, and in the entire trench, all Qi soldiers were huddled together,
"Be careful, be careful," in the trench, a lieutenant of the Qi Army lowered his body and whispered to the huddled soldiers,
"Sir," at this moment a sergeant stopped the lieutenant,
"What's the matter," asked the Lieutenant at this moment,
"When will we attack," asked the sergeant at this point,
"I don't know, I haven't received the order yet, maybe we don't need to launch an attack," the lieutenant said while looking at the sergeant,
"Oh, but it's impossible. With such a heavy bombardment, it's impossible for our infantry not to attack," said the sergeant at this time,
"I don't know, maybe I don't need it, it's better not to use it. If an attack is launched," the lieutenant looked at the sergeant with some hesitation, which meant that you knew what would happen. In fact, the lieutenant was also very worried about launching such a large bombardment. The more violent the bombing and the longer it takes, it usually means the bigger the attack they will launch. Such an attack will definitely kill people, how many people will die, the lieutenant is really scared,
"Oh, I see," said the sergeant at this point,
"I understand," said the sergeant, waving his arms,
"Very well," said the Lieutenant,
"Be careful, the thugs are likely to escape, don't let them touch in," at this time, the lieutenant lowered his voice to carefully convey this message to the soldiers passing by him,
Not far from the trench, there is a foxhole. Two Qi soldiers are in charge of guarding. They are the outposts of the entire fire line, responsible for guarding and observing. They are the eyes of the entire fire line, and they are the last guard post.
In front of them there are some straggler observation posts, they have no specific bunkers, and there are also some patrol soldiers, but they are all far away from the line of fire, and it is difficult to convey the warning message here at once,
"These damned cannons can't hear anything," complained a second-class soldier of the Qi Army,
And the corporal on the side didn't say anything at this time, just quietly watching the situation in the distance,
"I said, Lao Tian, you should talk," at this moment, the second-class soldier said to the corporal,
