Chapter 46: Luck
But they didn't expect that at this time, the generous monk said that Jingren did not rely on bows and horses to enter the pass, but artillery, which surprised them.
Without waiting for these people to question, the generous monk smiled: "Back then, my ancestor was an officer of Daqi and fought with Jingren.
These are mentioned in the records left by his old man......
Jing people are actually not good at riding and shooting, they are not like bald people, nomads.
They were originally in the land of northern Liao, and they all lived by half-farming, half-fishing and hunting, bows and arrows may be good, and horseback riding, even if they are a little stronger than our Han people, they are very limited.
When the army first started, he fought with the officers and soldiers of Daqi, relying on chariots and those white-armored warriors.
Each of the so-called white-armored samurai was a heavy infantry in triple armor......
During the battle, those flag soldiers in white armor hid behind the blocking of the chariot and dodged the firearms of the Great Qi.
When they got closer, they rushed to kill with their weapons.
And that kind of tactics was learned from Ping Bohou. ”
Everyone has read the book, and if you have a wide range of knowledge, you have naturally read the military book "Pingbo Wujing" by Pingbo Hou, the most outstanding soldier in the last two or three hundred years.
At this time, I think about it, and this method of warfare is indeed recorded in the Pingbo Martial Scripture.
Even when I read a lot of history books, I remember that when Pingbohou was guarding the six towns, he often used that kind of chariot to sweep all ethnic groups.
The statement of the generous monk can be said to be really challenging the three views, but it is reasonable and well-founded, so that everyone does not know what to say for a while.
"That's right, I also saw with my own eyes back then, the reason why Jingren was able to sweep the Central Plains.
It was only after obtaining those advanced artillery in the hands of the three feudatories that he was able to enter the pass and conquer the city.
Otherwise, the cities of Daqi were all strong and profound, and with the siege of the city with ants, how many people could Jing people die?
I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't be able to take Middle-earth.
The so-called ancestral bow horse, but Jingren bragged to his ancestors.
Also, I'm afraid that we, the Han people, will know the power of firearms and rebel from now on!"
These words constantly impacted the three views of Yang Wanze and others.
It's better for them not to know what to do!
Intellectually speaking, they have vaguely believed that these propaganda about the invincibility of Jingren's bow and horse are probably all false.
But what they have heard and known since childhood has long since formed a strong fortress.
For a while, I couldn't help but have a sense of chaos and absurdity.
"Jing Ren claims that his ancestors won the world with a bow and horse, is it true that the truth is nothing more than that?" Yang Wanze muttered to himself.
"Of course, that's the case, if you look at the fragments of articles left by those people at the beginning of the founding of the country, they often mention the lucky ones who won the world in the past dynasties, which is not as good as this dynasty......
Although there is not much detail, the literal prison has been removed.
It can be seen that those Jing people are hiding the truth!
In fact, Jingren really relied on artillery and firearms to fight.
Do you see that for so many years, the imperial court has been fighting, and that time was not a large-scale use of artillery and firearms?
In that year, the Jingren army fought a decisive battle with the Bald People of Geldi in the Western Regions, and they still used artillery firearms.
It's just that over the years, what Jing Ren has declared himself, so that his descendants have also begun to believe in what ancestral bow horses.
In short, over the years, the firearms in the hands of the Jingren court have not been developed for hundreds of years.
However, the firearms in the hands of foreigners are constantly developing, and now they are much more powerful than those in the hands of Jingren!
Cihang Zhenren is far-sighted, to buy advanced weapons from foreigners, and with the foreigners' tactics, it is not difficult to defeat Jingren.
After all, the firearms of the Jingren were learned from Daqi, and the firearms of Daqi were also learned from foreigners......"
At this time, although he still couldn't accept it in his heart, Yang Wanze and the others almost believed it.
But Tao Xiaowu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to argue about this kind of thing, when the foreigners buy firearms, let's go and see how these firearms are!"
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent: "What the real person said is that whether foreigners' firearms are powerful or not, we just need to see with our own eyes to know!"
Now, through various channels, they have tapped many military talents from the Jingren officers and soldiers.
Many of them are middle- and lower-ranking officers who have experienced wars and have actual military experience.
They should not be too new to firearms...... At least it's much better than these mouthpiece scholars.
When the time comes, once those foreigners' firearms come back, as long as they are compared with Jingren's firearms, they will know that they are the most powerful!
In such an era, there must have been flintlock pistols, right?
Although it is still a smoothbore grab!
......
"Is this where we're going to serve?"
Lieutenant Colonel Capet frowned slightly as he looked at the mountains in the distance.
He has already served in many parts of the world!
As a mercenary, he has been employed by many owners and has a wealth of experience in warfare.
He served in Roba's army, was employed by a great eater, participated in the colonization of Kegallus, and fought against the fierce natives of the region.
Eventually, he arrived in the legendary Eastern Continent, full of wealth and gold, responsible for training the colonial army.
And now, this veteran officer with incomparably rich experience has been hired by a mysterious merchant under Jingren to go to this place at a high price to train his army and teach him the tactics of the Roba Continent.
He was accompanied by a whole corps of instructors.
They were all from the JA Colony, or from the Mara Colony.
Among these people, except for some people who are indiscriminate and come to eat together.
Among them, there are many people who have real skills!
After all, in such an era, it is normal for professional soldiers to go to all over the world to accept employment and earn commissions.
Of course, among such people, there are not many people with such experience and level as Lieutenant Colonel Capet.
And the reason why Lieutenant Colonel Capet accepted the employment of the mysterious forces without knowing anything was that the price offered by the new employer was high enough.
On a more important note, the new employer looks ambitious.
It's not just that they are hired as professional soldiers and instructors.
It also employed a considerable number of craftsmen, ranging from smelting iron and casting cannons to making guns.
Capet, an experienced mercenary who has fought many wars, knows one thing very well, war is never child's play.
No matter how high the commission is, it must be a life flower!
If you meet a bad employer, no matter how much money you give, if you die on the battlefield, it will be in vain.
