As the user of the strongest weapon of the Tang Dynasty unanimously recognized by the Tang Emperor and the Tang Dynasty officials, the gunner was recognized as the first elite unit in the Tang Dynasty army after the Xuanjia Army, because to become a gunner, not only need to be proficient in the use of artillery, but also need to protect the safety of the artillery while saving his life on the fierce battlefield.

The cost of a cannon can use up one-twentieth of the tax paid by Sanyuan County in a quarter, and you can imagine how precious artillery is! As the richest county in Datang, Sanyuan County still has such a tax revenue, but what about other counties? Those remote and impoverished counties may not be able to make a single artillery piece in a year!

And the cost of gunpowder is not cheap, the cost of shells is not cheap, although these shells are all big iron balls, maybe there is a chance to reuse, but because of the high requirements for iron bullets, a little deformation will lead to zhì ammunition can not be reused, not to mention the general iron ball, the requirements of this kind of iron ball are quite high, otherwise it can not be recognized as artillery ammunition at all, that will lead to the scrapping of a cannon!

And more importantly, once the power of the artillery is known to other enemy troops, then they will definitely try their best to take the artillery battalion as the first strike target, and even the first strike target of infiltration, as the user and protector of the artillery, the gunner must use the gun dutifully, protect the artillery, but also protect himself, training a gunner, the difficulty is not ordinary!

Load ammunition, clean the gun, reload gunpowder, ignite the lead, and aim at the target. The requirements for a gunner to meet for a second launch, adjusting the angle, and fighting on the battlefield are too high, and if you want to become a qualified gunner, the difficulty is no less than that of becoming the emperor's personal guard - the Xuanjia Army.

Therefore, it is the skilled officials of the Ministry of Industry who train the gunners' firing skills, and it is the instructors of the Xuanjia Army who train these gunners to fight on the battlefield, and these gunners are completely trained as soldiers of the Xuanjia Army. These gunners were using a second enhanced version of the physical training charter.

Therefore, Li Erma insisted on choosing the strongest and strongest soldiers to serve as gunners. In fact, Suning was a little crying and laughing after hearing about it, because the demand for a qualified artillery soldier does not need to be as strong as the Xuanjia Army, if the Datang Army is the strongest combat force in the world in this era, then the Xuanjia Army represents the peak combat effectiveness of the Datang Army. Stand proudly as the strongest army in the world. Not one of them. To make an artillery unit like this, as far as it goes?

But there are some benefits to this, because for quite some time. Or at any time, the consumption of funds for the artillery team is the largest, and the price required to establish an artillery team is also the largest, so as the emperor, the importance of the artillery team, the importance of artillery and artillery is natural, and because of the emperor's attention, the status of artillery for a long time in the whole Tang Dynasty army is the top, second only to the emperor's personal guard Xuanjia army.

In fact, this is not unexpected, because if you let a person who has never seen the power of artillery to see the power of artillery, then the person whose thinking mode stays in the era of cold weapons will definitely be shocked by the huge power of artillery, and artillery is also a kind of technical arms, even if it is a primitive artillery, it also needs to operate technology, and people who have not operated artillery will have a lot of problems when they just get started, and the training of artillery is not simple.

But it's too much to train artillery into a Xuanjia army......

Suning didn't object, anyway, it doesn't matter if the artillery is stronger, anyway, there are definitely a lot of things needed on the battlefield, and the artillery can't protect themselves while protecting the artillery, and it has to be close to the enemy, and it's really going to be the most tense time, at that time, the shells are finished, and the artillery has become an ornament, so it is inevitable that the artillery will rush to the battlefield in groups and meet the enemy in short arms, and it will be too much to say if the artillery is weak at that time.

What's more, if the horse is injured or killed, the gunner needs to move the artillery, and if the gunner's body is not strong enough, how can he have the strength to move the artillery? Although the artillery is equipped with wheels, its movement is still very slow, so it is called a slow and powerful combat unit, and each artillery combat group has a small team leader, who is responsible for the command task of the entire artillery combat group, and Li Erma also said that the commander of the artillery will be selected from the excellent artillery, and in the future, a special artillery section will be set up in the military academy, and people who have not participated in artillery battles cannot serve as the commander of artillery.

This directly shows that there are independent standards for the promotion path and official promotion of artillery, and it is not something that can be done casually, it must be an artillery background, and there are a large number of achievements, and the artillery is auxiliary, not responsible for the main attack, and the requirements for strategy and tactics are not high, and a skilled person who can command can be competent, which is a better point, so Suning is still more assured about this.

As for how those guys plan to train artillery, Suning doesn't plan to interfere, anyway, these artillerymen will go to the battlefield sooner or later, and sooner or later there will be a time to fight.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has a big killing weapon, it is regarded as a top secret by Li Erma, no one is allowed to say a word to outsiders, officials below the third grade are not qualified to know, and only a few people know about the officials above the third grade, and the remaining officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Xuanjia Army are trustworthy, and they also made it themselves, Li Erma Xià specially upgraded the secrecy decree, once the secret is leaked, it will be the end of the exile of the whole family.

The artillery training base and the workshop of the Ministry of Industry to produce artillery are protected by the Xuanjia Legion, and even flies can't fly in, let alone people, three rounds of slogans are rotated every day, and each mouth needs a different slogan to go in and out, and there are special people to remember the appearance in case of accidents, and every relevant person is targeted by a special person sent by the blood drops to prevent an accident, and the foreigners in Chang'an are closely monitored, and they are not allowed to approach there at all.

Anyway, the Japanese people in Chang'an were all arrested by order of Li Ermajesty and ruined their contributions. The Japanese people are not allowed to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and once the Japanese people are found in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they will be killed on the spot, completely cutting off the minds of the Japanese people to enter the Tang Dynasty, in fact, if it were not for the fact that the Tang Dynasty has been fighting a series of battles recently, and the three battlefields are fighting at the same time, it is really a lack of skills, otherwise Li Er Majesty really has the idea of ordering a naval expedition to the Japanese Kingdom to give them a little color.

An overseas island country actually dares to peek into China's top secret and look for death!

The Wa Kingdom lost the opportunity to learn the techniques and knowledge of the Tang Dynasty, and even the mutual exchanges between religions were completely cut off. So. The "Dahua Innovation", which occupies a considerable position in the history of the Wa Kingdom, will not be able to appear again, and the miracle of the Wa culture that has leapt for a thousand years by virtue of the Dahua Revolution will not appear at all, but will soon meet the anger from the Tang Dynasty and the anger from Emperor Li Shimin. This anger. It is absolutely unimaginable to the Japanese people.

Therefore, Suning is also ready to start a war with the Japanese people on the Korean Peninsula. In another time and space, there was the Battle of Baijiangkou of the Japanese Kingdom against the Tang Dynasty, which was completely defeated by Liu Renliang's army, and the first Sino-Japanese battle ended in a Chinese victory. This time, it will still be the same, and the commander will become Suning, who is more radical than Liu Renliang, as long as that group of Japanese people dare to stretch out their claws to Datang, Suning will dare to pull his whole body over and directly cut his body into five, six, seven, and eight sections.

In the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Korean campaign, the Japanese people already had considerable military strength, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was with more advanced artillery technology than the Japanese people to defeat the Japanese people, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese people has not been what it used to be, in the war each other have won and lost, the fighting strength of the Japanese people can not be underestimated, and now, the Japanese country is still a barbaric and primitive country, and the Tang Dynasty has mastered more powerful artillery technology hundreds of years earlier, and now in such an era, if the already strong Tang army has mastered the artillery technology, It's definitely a tiger with wings.

We will definitely not let the Japanese have a chance to develop, and we will definitely completely wipe out the Japanese at this time, cut off future troubles, and completely disappear from the earth's territory.

The training of artillery is getting harder and harder day by day, and in order to take precautions, Li Erma directly sent a selection of 1,000 strong elite soldiers to the artillery training base, where the users of 200 artillery pieces are trained, and they must be trained to be qualified enough gunners to shine on the battlefield.

Although the training is hard, but the money is real, absolutely no water, absolutely penny and penny, under the training of the strong Xuanjia army instructors, these gunners have become big and round, tiger back and bear waist, a race of strong strength, just pull out a strong man of the three armies, the most common training method is five people to drag the artillery action, at the beginning only one hundred steps, then two hundred steps, three hundred steps, four hundred steps, stronger and stronger, more and more powerful.

There are five training artillery pieces for teaching purposes, and the shells and gunpowder are sufficient, in addition to the physical training of the instructors of the Xuanjia Army in the morning, the fire training in the afternoon is even more important, and the skilled officials of the Ministry of Industry almost hand in hand train these men to become skilled gunners, who can skillfully operate an artillery, five people perform their duties, who does this, who does that, and everyone must completely master other techniques, in case of emergency, the replenishment of artillery is not so easy.

Their imaginary enemy is one mock city wall after another, the distance is very far, the target is not big, aiming and shooting are the most important, one is not good, it will be missed, and the angle of occurrence is not well chosen, and the mastery is not skilled, then the attack strength will also be reduced, all in all, the way to fire a gun is not simple, the requirements are also very complicated, and it is definitely not so random as the original artillery.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, it is necessary to start from the gunner himself to improve their mastery, so as to increase the rate of fire of the artillery and speed up the rout of the enemy.

And the current artillery shells can only achieve a blow to the city wall, but those high-ranking officials from Li Tai down all know that the development of artillery to the back must be directly fired at the army, and the flowering shells used at that time pay more attention to the speed and frequency of firing, the faster the speed, the higher the frequency, the greater the damage, the more benefits to the Tang army, and the enemy army can be directly destroyed.

And now, even if it is a solid bullet, if you encounter a group of enemy troops attacking the Tang army with an infantry formation, then even a solid bullet can cause a huge blow to the opponent's infantry formation, directly destroying the infantry formation, and without the infantry formation on the battlefield, it is a dead end, of course, there is no flowering bullet to explode directly so domineering.
