The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 715: Qi Jun quickly advances

Xiang Yan of the Chu State is planning to carry out a large-scale reform of the Chu State navy in the name of suppressing bandits. The matter of reform is to rebuild the Chu State Navy into an army that can resist the Qin State Navy from the surface of the water.

But the Qin Navy is also actively preparing. The Qin State Navy used the navy's special funds to build some warships. Although these warships have only one ship that can provide 120 horsepower, and use a flat bottom structure. The hull is welded by a mix of wood and iron plates, because the iron plates are easy to weld and the technical difficulty is not great.

The warship uses a rotatable turret for the first time, using a motor hydraulic drive and a mechanical manual drive to rotate the turret. The turret is equipped with two three-inch guns. The turret is placed on the highest point of the ship, close to the chimney. More than eight machine guns were installed on the front, rear, left and right of the warship to provide cover. In addition, the warship adopts an oblique angle structure. The purpose of this design is not very clear. In short, the shape of the warship is very ugly.

The warship can advance at a speed of thirty-five miles per hour. Of course this is the estimated speed, which is only shown on the design drawings. The entire army has about 35 to 50 people on board. However, it is worth mentioning that Qin's navy still lacks a lot of room names. For example, the method of naming the Qin warship was not based on the naming level of the first warship to be launched. The most important thing is that the Qin Navy has not used the unit of displacement to mark the limits of warships. Perhaps Qin's navy won't be able to use it yet. Because they have not yet reached the sea level, and the Qin State Navy has just grown up. Although the navy has a certain technical foundation, it still takes a long time for the entire navy to form a huge combat effectiveness.

While both Qin and Chu were working hard to develop surface power, the Qi State Army was making rapid advances. After solving the siege enemy. The Qi State Army speeded up the counterattack against Yan State, but before that, they had to solve some of the road conditions.

"We surrender. We won't run away." A group of ragged soldiers from the Yan State raised their hands and shouted, standing beside the dirt road.

"Get out. Get out." Qi Jun waved his hand very impatiently so that the group of soldiers from the State of Yan who were indistinguishable from beggars stood on the side of the road.

"Get out of the way. Hurry up." The Qi army soldier ordered again. The soldiers of Yan State put down their hands and stayed on the side of the road. Or simply sit on the side of the road and watch Qi Jun move towards their own country.

Qi Jun advanced quite fast. How close is it? The speed of Yan Jun's escape was not as fast as that of Qi Jun's advance. As a result, these Yan troops simply surrendered again, but Qi Jun was unwilling to deal with these prisoners this time. Instead, they urged these Yan Jun who sincerely surrendered to stand on the side of the road. Don't hinder them from moving forward. This scene has happened many times.

The advancing army of the Qi army is equipped with many mobile tools. For example, some regiments before the Yan Army were equipped with bicycles, and these bicycles were seized as trophies by the Qi Army. These trophies soon came in handy. A large number of infantrymen rode forward on bicycles. They can put their backpacks on the bicycle. Either two people use a bicycle together to move forward. This kind of bicycle is produced by the Qin Guoxi brand factory and comes with sponge tires. This tire uses the kind of sponge on airplanes. And it uses a big wheel design. Have good off-road performance. Therefore, Qi army soldiers like this equipment very much.

However, Qi Jun himself is equipped with a certain number of bicycles. Qi State imported a large number of bicycles from Qin State, but a large part of these bicycles were disassembled. The main reason is that the Qi State Air Force needs a lot of gears. Qi Guo can't survive this kind of gear made of steel through a certain cutting process. This process requires a certain basic machine tool. Obviously Qi has no such foundation, so Qi can only import these gears in the name of imported bicycles and parts.

However, a certain number of private bicycles flowed into Qi, but these bicycles have been recruited into the army since the beginning of the war. As a result, these units are equipped with a certain number of mobile bicycle units. These forces are mainly equipped in some companies and battalions. Rather than a wide range of equipment. The army of Qi State did not reform according to the organizational systems of the Yan and Qin states, and they were still organized in accordance with the original military organizational system.

The addition of bicycles can't make Qi Jun go so fast. It is the horses that Yan Guo imported from Qin Guo that really accelerates the speed. These horses were originally subordinate to the cavalry and heavy corps of the Yan Kingdom. But when the Yan army retreated, these horses were left to Qi army intact. Qi Jun accepted it all. These horses come from the northern grasslands. Moreover, these horses also have a unique invention of Qin State, the stirrup. This invention made Qi Jun quickly realize the importance of another type of arms, cavalry. As a result, Qi State gathered a large number of horses in an extreme period of time to use a cavalry of thousands of people. The concentrated and rapid use of these cavalry greatly accelerated the advancement of the Qi army.

The addition of cavalry, especially in the pursuit of the counter-offensive stage, allowed the Qi army to make rapid progress. Those Yan Jun who had tried to escape before were soon followed by a whirlwind of Qi Jun. But the Yan Jun has no strength to resist. And they have no weapons in their hands, so they can only surrender. The Qijun cavalry didn't bother at all. They just shouted loudly.

"Go away." Then the horse moved forward quickly. The task they got was to assault the country of Yan as quickly as possible. For others, nothing is more important than this. So a large number of cavalry marched towards the border of Yan State. And those unlucky Yanjun were trampled to death by horses because of their slow reaction speed. Others stayed far away. Then came the cycling team that tried to follow up. They are alone or in groups of two. Carry their bags or weapons to keep up with the cavalry as quickly as possible. They are also not interested in prisoners of war. These matters should be handed over to the infantry team following up. They should deal with these things.

The infantry who followed up was a lot of trouble. First of all, they have to carry their surplus trophies. These trophies include a lot of military coats, military boots, and various rucksacks discarded by the Yan army. These rucksacks are mainly bullet belts, bayonet belts and some miscellaneous rucksacks. When Yan Jun fled, he threw away all his brains. It was just throwing them all away that made them not far away. Because they do not have any supplies to allow them to go further.

Many Yanjun soldiers stopped running after running out for a day. The reason is that they have no food, and autumn has come. They even don't even have clothing to protect against the cold. In desperation, they can only choose to surrender. I hope Qi Jun can provide some help so that they can survive on their own. Or surrender directly to Qimin. Then have a sip of hot water to drink and hot meal to eat.

The Qi army soldiers are very busy. The Yan Jun discarded a lot of materials. The first is a large number of military materials, such as bedding and clothing, some of which have not been opened yet, and the waterproof kraft paper is also very good to wrap these clothing and bedding. Most of these materials came from the aid of the Qin State. The logistics personnel of the Yan Kingdom were very stingy and did not send them to the soldiers of the Yan Army. As a result, a large amount of military materials were piled up in the warehouse, and Qi Jun finally laughed at it. And Qi Jun was also welcome, and all these quilts were quickly robbed. Many soldiers of the Qi Army marched in the coats of the Yan Army. But Yan Jun could only stand on the side of the road and watch. The clothes that belonged to them are now worn on Qi Jun soldiers.

These are not over yet. The soldiers of the Qi army also ate canned beef. Canned Fruit. Many of these canned foods were sold to Yan State on the expiration date or expired by Qin State. According to Qin State, the shelf life of canned food is only three months. In fact, Qin State produces a lot of these cans. During the shipping process and the sales process, three months is far from enough. And there is a lot of backlog in the warehouse. The merchants of Qin State had no choice but to resell it to Yan State or Zhao State mining area at a price a little higher than the cost price. This is how these cans come.

Regardless of the expiration date. The soldiers of the Qi army have never eaten such good food. Many of them still keep canned food boxes and canned bottles as souvenirs. They doubted why Yan Jun had eaten so well and had to defeat the war.

Also accompanied by the artillery unit of the Qi army. The Yan army also had a large number of artillery captured by the Qi army. These artillery were all five-inch and six-inch bronze artillery produced by Qin before. There are also many types of shells. Some troops are also equipped with more advanced artillery observation mirrors. But now these things are in the hands of Qi Jun. They brought the horses and reorganized them into the hands of the Qi Army artillery. In this way, the artillery of the Qi Army has grown a lot.

The infantry and artillery were advancing slowly, mixing together. On the roadside are a large number of Yan Army prisoners of war who have not been contained. These prisoners of war became orphans who didn't care. There was no one to take in, and they did not dare to rob at will, because there were guerrillas in the surrounding villages, and they could only take the initiative to seek help from the guerrillas and try to take them in. Let them live.

In this way, the Qi army quickly advanced, and the Yan army took the initiative to surrender. Only Yan Guo was anxious. Yan Guo could only send anxious telegrams one after another. However, Qin asked Yan to sign the military contract. But Yan Guo couldn't come up with so much money at once. The two sides were in a stalemate like this.

The two countries were in a stalemate, but the neighbors of Qin and Yan had new changes. This change is that Zhao Guo pre-selected their prime minister as quickly as possible. This prime minister is Guo Kai. Guo Kai only paid a lot of money to vote for himself. Not high, only 21.3%. This is an unofficial statistics. This figure comes from the Qin State newspaper. But this is already quite difficult. Because the vote of Zhao Guo's voters is very messy. Except for Guo Kai, no one else exceeds 1.2%.
