Chapter 493 (1/2)
Now is the best time for the eternal night army leader. The kentana barbarians have not yet realized the change of their enemies, and they still maintain the loose sand state of the cliff clan.
Even the lion king can't hold the wolves.
The individual combat effectiveness of the kentana barbarians was fierce and frightening, but could not hold the night army to lead the organized and disciplined hunting.
A pile of poisoned arrows and hunting nets are smashed down. Even if the giant elephant is turned down honestly, they can't escape.
Up to now, the first regiment led by general McKee, the skull breaker, has made remarkable achievements. It has captured more than 100 kentana barbarians, all of them are the most ferocious ones who dare to fight. More than 30 of them are comparable to the level of grand knights, and the rest are the peak of Knights.
These were the bravest and most aggressive of the kentana barbarians.
If we go at this rate, in a few years, the kentana barbarians will be eaten away by the life led by the eternal night army, which may not be more threatening than the cliff clan.
This is only a theoretical state. The kentana barbarians are not beasts without wisdom, and there is no lack of wise men such as patriarch Locke. They have noticed this abnormality and are actively uniting. When they start to form a group or even integrate into a whole, the danger will be much greater.
However, the Yongye army leader could not sit by and watch such a good opportunity slip away from his own hands. He could only choose the lesser of the two evils. First of all, the immediate interests should be discussed. At that time, even if the kentana barbarians were united, it would be weakened.
Another is that the Klein tribe has pinned down general Tagore and general Erikson. Although they can't be honest this year, their area is like a dead zone, and all the undead soldiers are huddled together, but the Yongye army leader still does not dare to be careless and keep watch by shifts day and night.
Who knows these enemies who can't be measured by common sense will suddenly go mad and give them a cruel cold.
Other generals, one by one, were all present, including general Arnold, who was only temporarily serving in the eternal night army.
The high-end combination technology of artillery is a little different from that of black powder.
Black powder is relatively low-end. As long as there is a formula, let alone those who have some power, even a few people can set up a small workshop. After the leakage of technology, the depreciation is rapid.
Artillery is different. There is a technical threshold.
The steel-making and forging technology led by Yongye army has been at the forefront of the world, even surpassing the Kingsley family, which is famous for its minerals and forging.
Even so, Yongye military leaders have been puzzled by this technical problem for two or three years. The two technologies have been used successively, that is, to install quilt cover (that is, to tighten the barrel) or to add steel hoops (that is, to tighten the gun body).
The effect is still not very good, and these two technologies can only be used on heavy guns. The light guns that Yongye military leaders pursue are easy to carry and move, and they are not very suitable.
As has been said earlier, the war mode of this world is quite different from that of previous generations. We must fully consider the threat of big knights and champion knights to artillery.
Yongye military leader's research focus has been on light artillery, but heavy artillery has not invested too much energy.
Not only is the light artillery more widely applicable, but also because it is more difficult. If the light artillery is completed, the heavy artillery will be easily solved. It is just that the material is larger and can be filled with larger ammunition - caliber is the king's way.
Yongye army leader now solves this problem with black technology, which has a lot of mistakes.
As for the pure imitation of inferior materials, there is no need to say more about it. The value of the thing is very low. It was made by Yongye military leader three years ago.
That is to say, for the first time, when the enemy is unprepared, it has some effect. Once it is known by the enemy and is treated in a targeted way, it is easy to be broken and destroyed by elite teams, because it is very difficult for them to move.
We can't kill a elite nail here in order to protect them, can we?
In that case, the value of artillery would be greatly reduced.
Not to mention the production of shell ammunition, firing technology, post filling technology and so on. Yongye army leader spent five or six years in front of and after the inside.
They want to catch up, first of all, smooth out the time difference.
Now, different from before, there are many eyes staring at the commander of Yongye army. As long as their artillery goes off, it will be known all over the world.
According to the current speed of Yongye army leader, there is no need to wait for three years. It is possible to use it on a large scale in the middle and late next year. There is no need to worry about whether general Arnold will divulge secrets. Instead, he can make use of his rich conventional combat experience, how to give full play to the greatest power of this new weapon, and perfectly integrate it into the current mode of war.
At present, the new weapons are mainly used in a short period of time.
After all, the artillery technology led by Yongye army is not the result of normal development, but the result of deformity.Yongye military leaders have yet to fully catch up with the small caliber gun technology corresponding to the large caliber gun technology.
They are faced with the same problem of artillery technology. The power of the simple version of the musket is too low. On the contrary, it is not as easy to use as the bow and crossbow. The lethality is relatively limited, and there is no value for large-scale loading.
There are many technical barriers in the excellent version. There is no way to mass produce it before it is conquered.
The most important problem is the demand. As for the slain Klein soldiers, the small caliber guns, like other long-range attacks, have limited power. The guns with relatively high lethality are the focus of the gunpowder Bureau's current research. Naturally, they will come out faster when they have reached a certain level in this respect and can't improve in a short period of time So we went back to small caliber guns.
”We have gathered you here today to show you a brand-new weapon. With your rich combat experience, we can find out the advantages and disadvantages of this new type of weapon and see if there is any room for improvement.” Sean opened his eyes to the debating generals.
”What new weapons? How could the Lord make such a move? ” General Arnold was the most active.
During this period, he is trying to integrate into the group of Yongye Army leaders, because he adheres to a kind of idea, which is unique only when he is integrated into it.
In fact, it is still with the purpose of probing into the military situation of Yongye army leader.
