Chapter 494 (1/2)
”It's amazing. This is a cross era weapon. Its appearance will overturn the previous war mode.” General Arnold was the first to make his point in a positive tone.
In fact, when he first saw the power of black powder, general Arnold had been keenly aware that the world was going to change.
The emergence of this new weapon represents a possibility.
Ordinary people who have no power to bind a chicken can also kill a great knight or a champion knight.
In the past, it was unthinkable.
The Knights pyramid headed by champion Knights firmly maintains the rule of the whole Byron League.
This accepted principle, however, was cracked by black powder.
It is precisely because of this that general Arnold, as the commander-in-chief of the famous side, ignored his face and acted as a mouse and got himself into the Yongye army leader.
Sean told him that his original keen sense was not only correct, but also had such a rapid development. Even if general Arnold didn't check the new weapon himself, he knew that the research of Yongye army leader in this field was not one day or two days, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources had been put into the research before the current results could be achieved.
The other generals led by Yongye army are not as entangled as general Arnold, and they are all shouting with excitement.
”It turns out that after so many years of cooperative operations, the real treasure is here. When the affiliated Engineering Corps is equipped with this new weapon, it will directly become a ready-made Artillery Corps. Before the main army forces charge, they will have a saturation coverage shot. No matter how strong the enemy is, they will be destroyed immediately.” Kelman, the chief of staff, opened his mouth excitedly, and all kinds of fantastic ideas flowed wildly in his brain.
In the past, he had repeatedly proposed to his Lord that the mode of the Yongye army leading a main force and an auxiliary Corps was too wasteful. They could completely dismantle them and transform those affiliated engineers into subordinate regiments with weaker forces, ordinary militia or reserve soldiers. They could fight for these main armies, and they were refuted by Sean every time Back.
He was puzzled before. When he saw the infantry gun at the first sight, he understood the reason.
It's not that Sean is too short-sighted. On the contrary, he is still too long-sighted this time, and he has left them too far away to know the future development trend of Yongye army leader.
In fact, those affiliated engineers have been preparing for this new weapon. Many of them are experts in manufacturing and manipulating catapults and catapults. They are all technical arms. It is no doubt easy to learn this new weapon.
Their main tactical training even revolves around this, establishing solid positions, guarding this precious siege equipment, and then looking for opportunities to counterattack in defense.
Even with this new weapon, what the attached engineers had mastered before would not be discarded, but still played an important role.
And in a short time, they can not be fully installed, there must be a gradual process.
With their participation, the subsidiary engineering corps will no longer be affiliated to the main corps, and its importance will increase rapidly.
They will be more flexible in formulating military strategies and have numerous possibilities.
”Good things are good things, but I don't know how high the cost is? How much is the output? When will the legions be fully equipped? ” The steady-minded Banshee pointed to the point of the problem.
If the cost of this kind of thing is too high to affect the comprehensive arrangement of weapons, its value will be greatly reduced.
”This issue is not in the scope of today's discussion. What you need to consider is to find out the shortcomings of this weapon in actual combat and how to apply it to actual combat.” Although Sean didn't shy away from general Arnold about this brand-new weapon, he didn't want to reveal where the commander of the eternal night army went.
”What your Lord said at the annual meeting to solve the Klein tribe does not mean this new weapon?” Ben Hebrew understood Sean's ideas and did not go on with the previous issue.
”That's right.” Sean nodded. ”Don't you think this weapon is the best weapon for dealing with undead monsters?”
”That's true. If we had a hundred of these infantry cannons, we could consider flattening the monster's territory.” Kelman, the young chief of staff, was excited by the new weapon.
For the young hawks, this kind of powerful weapon is very much to his taste.
”After you have seen the experiment, you can consider making a strategic plan in this area.” Sean said with a smile.
Once the artillery led by the Yongye army is put in a large scale, the Klein tribe must be their first test object.
”And other new things?” Kelman was more energetic.
”They are only conventional light guns, and there are several unconventional ones.” Sean nodded. ”Here it is.”
In the process of their communication, the process of gun test has been going on.
The type 13 vehicle mounted infantry gun not only shows its own fixed-point shooting state, but also shows its moving state. The only thing that many generals regret is that it has too much recoil force, so it is obviously impossible to shoot in motion.It was just the beginning. Soon after it, a huge object was pulled out. No matter in size or weight, it was quite amazing. Its appearance was not different from that of the 13 type vehicle mounted infantry gun, but its range and power were greatly improved. The biggest drawback was that it moved slowly. Even if it was dragged by a strong adult collier, it was quite laborious.
The generals showed a lack of interest in this type of vehicle mounted heavy artillery called type 13.
It's not that this kind of heavy artillery is useless, but its defects are so obvious that it is difficult to keep up with the advance speed of the Legion. On the contrary, it is not as easy to use as the light infantry gun in the field. The army can't stand still and wait for them?
In addition to the speed of the army, it can delay other roads.
On the contrary, in the attack and defense of the city, this kind of relatively extreme environment can play a very strong power.
No, there's another place to use their power - ships.
If Yongye's ship was loaded with this new gun, its combat effectiveness would be raised to an unprecedented level, if it had been equipped with such weapons.
With the help of three or five ships, the third fleet of the Commons family could not find the north.
It seems that before long, there will be a big innovation in the mode of water warfare.
However, no general of the navy was present today. These army generals thought about this part, but they didn't talk about it.
