"My lord, your eyes." Meng Yi said.

"Eyes." Shangwen said suspiciously.

"Yes, your eyes, why can't you see clearly." Meng Yi said with some concern.

"Oh. I guess I'm nearsighted. I've used my eyes too much these days." Shang Wen said.

"This..." Meng Yi wanted to say something else.It was interrupted by Shangwen.

"With a pair of eyes, nothing will happen. It's just that it affects when flying." Shang Wen said.I am still the person in charge of the Sky Army. If I can't take the lead in flying, I really don't know how those pilots will teach me.

"Oh." Meng Yi nodded worriedly.

"The last general has seen Master Qin." Wang Ben had already walked up to him while he was speaking, and he knelt down and saluted while he was still some distance away from Shangwen.

"Okay. They are not outsiders. Don't pretend." Shang Wen said.

"In the future, don't salute like this when you meet," Shang Wen said.

"Hey." Wang Ben said with some embarrassment.

202 a lot of suggestions

"Did you find anything important when you came back from Yan Kingdom?" Shang Wen asked immediately.

"This, it's too much." He took out a notebook from his arms, which was given to Wang Ben by Shang Wen before he left, and also gave him two pencils.

"First of all, those guns are powerful, but they can't fight in close combat. It would be good enough if they were paired with a knife or sword. There is also the issue of range. The straight-line shooting distance of muskets is similar to that of bows and arrows. The shooting distance far exceeds that of muskets when shooting in a curve, and the shooting distance needs to be improved." Wang Ben turned a page and continued.

"Go ahead." Shang Wen turned around and said to Meng Yi.

Meng Yi cupped his hands and left.

"There is also the power of the artillery. The power of two inches is a bit small, and the range can only be improved when the muzzle is raised. When shooting in a straight line, the range is only a little longer than that of a long-range bow." Wang Ben He looked at his notebook and said.

"What else?" Shang Wen felt that these suggestions had almost been resolved by himself.When this guy came, he didn't ask me how much I had improved, but gave suggestions directly.

"Also, can the artillery have more types of shells, just like those grenades, which can be shot into the middle of the enemy and explode, so that more people can be killed." Wang Ben said.

"There is also the problem of ranging, especially the ranging of artillery. The traditional methods currently used cannot measure the distance within the killing range of artillery." Wang Ben said.

This suggestion is not bad. Now that the range of the artillery is getting farther and farther, the aiming equipment used now can still make do with it. After all, they are all cannons, so just aim directly.However, as the artillery range gets farther and farther away, it is impossible to take a direct shot.And in order to achieve the firepower coverage effect of the artillery, the sight must be fired again.That's a good point.

"There is also the problem of artillery siege. We can't effectively attack the enemies on the towers. Our artillery can only shoot straight, and the enemies hiding on the towers can't be hit at all. This is very annoying." Wang Ben pointed out this one.This was the case when I was attacking the enemies upstairs in the city of Yan. Zhao Jun lowered his body and hid behind the city wall, and the artillery could only hit the city wall, but couldn't hit those Zhao Jun who were hiding on the top of the city.Those Zhao troops can only be suppressed by artillery shooting, but cannot be completely defeated.

"En." Shang Wen nodded kindly.At present, there is only one type of artillery, and there is no mortar used for siege, that is, mortar.The artillery in Wang Ben's hands can only be used in field battles, and they obviously suffer in siege battles.

"You didn't fight a defensive battle, why did you attack the city?" Shang Wen said with some puzzlement.

"Oh, don't mention it, those idiots of the Yan Army made a mistake when they switched defenses, allowing Li Mu to take advantage of the gap and fall. If I hadn't rescued them in time, the Yan Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago." Wang Ben said angrily. Said.

"Oh, so it is like this." Shang Wen suddenly realized.

"However, I have solved most of the problems you mentioned. There are still some things that have not been solved because I haven't thought of them. For example, this mortar is a mortar. I didn't think of it." Shang Wen took out his own The notebook starts recording this.

"By the way, there is also the problem of shooting distance. After we shot, the enemy rushed over with a little gap time. There is no time to react at all. Moreover, when shooting, if we are not well-trained Otherwise, it will become a swarm of shots like Yan Guo, and there is still a gap. I can't imagine it." Wang Ben said.

"Then what do you mean?" Shang Wen said incomprehensibly.

"It would be perfect if it could be equipped with grenades. The front row shoots three rows, and the rear row throws grenades. In this way, the enemy's attack wave band can be separated. It gives the Musketeers a chance to load ammunition. In this way, It’s fine if you don’t.” Wang Ben suggested.

OMG.This guy is the same as his father, why is he so forward-thinking, he even knows that there is a branch of the Grenadier.

"However, I think that between artillery and musket shooting, there is still a huge gap in firepower coverage. It's too big. It can't be connected. It can't form a wave band that consumes the enemy's vitality. This point needs to come up with a solution. Come up with a plan," Wang Ben said.

Shangwen recorded this point in his notebook.Wang Ben comes from the army, and he is very skilled in the combat of the Qin army, especially the old-style weapons. The Qin army has four long-handled weapons ranging from spears to melee halberds. If bows and arrows are added, then it will form A perfect firepower covering strike net, as long as it touches a corner of this net, it will surely suffer a devastating blow.

Even if the thinking of the current US military is exactly the same as that of the Qin army, they all pay great attention to the connection of fire strikes.And from far to near, the division of labor is very clear, so that a formation is perfectly combined.

But now with the emergence of muskets, artillery and hot weapons, the combat method has begun to change again.According to the habit of human habitual thinking, it is easy to borrow some characteristics of things that have been used before.That's why Wang Ben made such a suggestion.

"En." Shangwen recorded these questions one by one.With these front-line usage conditions, it will play a certain role in enlightening the development of weapons.The pros and cons of a weapon can only be known by using it.

"Is there any?" Shangwen asked while recording.

"That's all for the time being. The rest are military training and battle formation arrangements. These are things we fight." Wang Ben said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.Then record some usage.

"By the way, I'll take you to see the new artillery, as well as the Celestial Army. Weapons, they've been focusing on economic construction recently, without much attention. Apart from artillery, there aren't many new weapons." Shang Wen said.

"No new weapons." Wang Ben said loudly.

"That's right, I'm very busy. I've been working as a right minister. There are a lot of things to deal with every day. If the king of Qin hadn't sent Meng Yi, I would have been so busy that I was sick. I Then there is time to engage in weapon development." Shang Wen said with a lot of reasons.

"Sick?" Wang Ben said.

"Yes, thanks to this illness, I am establishing a field hospital system. If those wounded by guns do not receive timely assistance, almost ten percent of them will die. Our current medical level is simply not enough. They couldn’t be saved, and the wound was infected, causing secondary casualties.” Shang Wen said.

"Oh, that's right. I remembered. Those wounded soldiers of Zhao Jun died in this way. After defending the city, Zhao Jun died more than those who attacked the city." Wang Ben said.

203 Independent General Staff

"Let's go, let's take a look at the new artillery." Shang Wen pointed to the artillery workshop and walked.

"This is the latest artillery, with a [-]-inch caliber. It is all made of bronze, and the gun mount is made of iron, which is more convenient to use. How is it?" Shang Wen asked.

Wang Ben touched the cannon fondly.

"Okay." Wang Ben looked around at the artillery.

"In addition, there are various shells for you to choose from." Shangwen said.

"There are grenades for infantry, and shotguns for cavalry. There are also shrapnel shells. Solid shells. These shells use streamlined shooting. The shooting range has been greatly improved." Shang Wen happily introduced.

"In addition, I installed a bayonet on the musket. In this way, soldiers can fight in close combat. The bayonet uses a three-edged bayonet, which is more conducive to assassination." Shangwen said slowly.

"How is it?" Shang Wen asked.

"My lord. My lord." A craftsman shouted hastily.

Wang Ben was about to answer.When the words came to his lips, he had no choice but to keep silent.

"What is it?" Shang Wen asked.Shangwen has repeatedly explained.In the arsenal, everyone doesn't have to care too much about etiquette.Shangwen repeatedly emphasized this, and everyone barely got used to it.

"Someone came from the palace and asked my lord to enter the palace with General Wang, saying that there is something important to discuss." The craftsman said.

"Oh, got it, let's go now." Shangwen said and took the lead to leave.
