Gu Qingwan looked at the match placed in front of her.
Completely confused.
What does it mean? ?
Let yourself light his cigarette? ?
Of course, Gu Qingwan could understand that if Lu Yuan was so arrogant, he must have a perfect plan in mind.
Otherwise, this virtue will never be achieved.
When Gu Lie on the side saw this, he blinked and suddenly laughed out loud.
Not that he wanted to watch his sister light up a cigarette.
It's just that Brother Lu Yuan's appearance must mean one thing, this matter is stable!
Brother Lu Yuan must have come up with a perfect solution for this matter!
And this brother Lu Yuan came up with an excellent idea, that is, brother Lu Yuan won.
If Brother Lu Yuan wins...
You can go and suppress the bandits yourself! !
How could Gu Lie not laugh out loud?
Of course... Gu Lie is more curious now...
What exactly is the solution? !
Gu Qingwan couldn't help but stare when she saw her brother's careless smile.
Gu Lie, who was on the opposite side, quickly held it back.
Afterwards, when Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, she looked at Lu Yuan with gritted teeth and said:
"You don't want me to light a cigarette for you, do you?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"I drew up a charter for you, and I didn't sleep all night.
If you light a cigarette for me, you can make great achievements in suppressing bandits and save a lot of lives. Why, are you still at a loss? "
elder brother? !
Gu Qingwan was really going to be laughed out of Lu Yuan's anger and said:
"You are still my brother. How old are you? Are you my brother?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said:
"Brother is just an honorific title, not a reference to age.
If you look at the waiter outside the door and he still calls me "grandpa", then I'm not really "grandpa". Don't worry, if you call me brother, you won't lose anything~"
Seeing Lu Yuan like this, Gu Qingwan was really angry for a while, but after a few seconds.
A dangerous smile appeared on Gu Qingwan's face and she picked up the match on the table.
With a swish sound, he struck a match and then handed it over while gritting his teeth and saying:
"Okay~~~Brother~~~You must tell your sister a perfect plan later~~~Brother~~~~"
Gu Qingwan's appearance made Gu Lie next to him shiver.
This scene... Gu Lie has seen a bit too much...
Usually when your sister becomes like this, your butt will have to be opened by others.
However, Gu Qingwan's appearance could only scare Gu Lie, but Lu Yuan was not afraid at all.
Holding a cigarette and raising his eyebrows, he said:
"Two hands, one hand needs to be covered. Why, you have never served anyone before!"
Gu Qingwan: "???"
If you push your limits too hard, you'll get into trouble, right? !
After half a second of silence, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and finally lit the cigarette as Lu Yuan said.
After lighting up the cigarette, Lu Yuan immediately started talking seriously.
After all, when it comes to talking about business, you have to talk about business immediately.
Lu Yuan's previous displeasure with Gu Qingwan had nothing to do with it, but the disdainful expression on Gu Qingwan's face.
There was a look of contempt on his face, plus... At that time, Lu Yuan had been freezing outside all morning.
It is inevitable that the mood will be a little irritable. Everyone can't hold back the anger sometimes.
However, this is Gu Lie's sister after all, so it's okay to make a little fuss.
It doesn't hurt to light up a cigarette.
The next second, Lu Yuan stood up and pointed at a point on the map:
"look here."
Lu Yuan's change made Gu Qingwan stunned.
When Lu Yuan asked him to light up his cigarette just now, he acted like a fool, but now it was time to get down to business.
He really just became serious all of a sudden, and his temperament suddenly changed.
It's like what~
Hmm... Just like how I imagined Lu Yuan looked like when I read the memorial before.
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan and his brother began to listen carefully to what Lu Yuan said.
What Lu Yuan wants to do is actually nothing unusual, nor is it a shocking tactic.
In fact, it was Huo Qubing's tactics.
And what are Huo Qubing’s tactics?
If you look at it from a modern perspective and interpret it from a modern perspective.
Actually there are two.
One is special operations and the other is decapitation operation.
Lu Yuan's historical level is not high. I don't know if that can be regarded as the first real special operations and beheading operation in history.
But Lu Yuan believes that this is definitely the strongest in history.
Hmm... maybe it's because in Lu Yuan's heart, Huo Qubing is the strongest military commander.
Therefore, the evaluation of Huo Qubing also contains a lot of Lu Yuan's personal subjective color.
But let's not talk about this matter that can easily lead to quarrels. It is definitely feasible to use Huo Qubing's method to fight against this kind of bandit.
The Zhou Dynasty had guns.
This is not unusual.
Judging from the industrial level of the Zhou Dynasty, which can now produce sewing machines, it is quite normal to have guns.
There are old-fashioned muskets here, as well as rifled guns.
A musket has no rifling in the barrel, it is just a barrel with gunpowder in the front.
The most common guns of this kind are shotguns or hunting rifles in the hands of farmers.
Of course, the shotguns on Earth have also been improved.
For example, the shotguns of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not that powerful, and their range is basically within a few dozen meters.
Then the ammunition is stuffed into the front barrel, and the reloading speed is extremely slow.
This kind of weapon was widely equipped in the armies of the Zhou Dynasty.
And there is another kind of gun, which is a rifled gun.
What's great about this gun is that there are riflings in the barrel so that the bullet spins out after it is fired from the barrel.
This allows you to hit farther and with higher accuracy.
Basically, this kind of gun can be regarded as a modern rifle.
However, there are very few such guns.
The reason is because the manufacturing process of this barrel is very high.
It is a very big challenge for steel and various industrial technologies.
Making such a barrel is very laborious.
Previously, the Zhou Dynasty had been fighting against the Gilded Dynasty.
Compared with guns, the two dynasties paid more attention to cavalry.
After all, on the endless prairie, the cavalry from both sides would face each other as soon as they charged.
This kind of gun with slow reloading speed is not as practical as a spear, and a crossbow arrow is more practical.
Therefore, there is not much development and attention at all.
The armies of the Zhou Dynasty did not have many rifled guns.
That's what I said. The Zhou Dynasty didn't have many regular troops, so how many bandits could there be?
The guns inside this bandit are all muskets, which are old-fashioned shotguns.
Lu Yuan's idea was to train an elite force, all equipped with rifled guns, and then go into the mountains! !
It's not just the bandits who are familiar with the mountains.
There are also villagers around, and most of the elite troops will be selected from the villagers here.
Just like Huo Qubing recruiting the Huns into his army!
However, if it is just special operations, it is far from enough.
Why.
Because the flying soldiers can't kill people... It's not... It's because this kind of elite force cannot completely clean up the mess.
What is the biggest role of this elite force?
Behead!
Completely disrupt the bandits in the rear!
After all, anyone who has seen Liangjian knows that the battle against Ping'an County relied on large troops and Italian artillery~
There must be a leader among the tens of thousands of bandits.
This is called catching the thief first and catching the king first.
Among the tens of thousands of bandits, whoever was in charge would be beaten by the hair by the regular army in front.
Fight to death!
I don't expect the regular army to kill the bandit leader.
But for...herding sheep!
Drive this bandit leader out of his den!
When the bandit leader fled hastily from his lair, it was a matter of elite troops wandering in the mountains.
It would be better to ambush the bandit leader on several of his retreat routes in advance.
Then behead him!
It is absolutely impossible for this elite unit that Lu Yuan mentioned to charge head-on.
Just beheading.
After doing this several times, the bandit camp will definitely be in chaos.
This is called attacking the mind!
The next priority is to attack the city, and the highest priority is to attack the heart!
Bandits are bandits, even if they dominate the mountain and become the king, they are still bandits.
Once there is no backbone, it is like a piece of loose sand.
After Lu Yuanyang finished speaking.
Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie both fell into deep thought.
Gu Qingwan was thinking about the military expenditure needed to do this.
It doesn't seem to be very high.
only……
Is this possible?
And Gu Lie was also wondering whether this was feasible.
After the two of them thought about it for a while, Gu Lie took the lead and looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"Brother, this... doesn't work a bit, right?"
certainly!
If that's all it is, it won't work!
Lu Yuan was quite happy when he saw Gu Lie asking questions. He patted Gu Lie on the shoulder, then looked at Gu Qingwan next to him and grinned:
"Look, I said that our brother will definitely be an excellent general in the future.
No, I immediately thought there was a problem. "
Gu Qingwan was stunned when she heard Lu Yuan's words and couldn't help but give Lu Yuan a roll of her eyes.
Who is we with you?
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Lie and said with a smile:
"Then tell me, what's wrong?"
And Gu Lie is very serious now, which is different from his usual joking, or rather...
Well... Gu Lie is very mature now.
It's different from the childish look before.
Gu Lie immediately said seriously:
“There are all good ideas in this matter, but the biggest problem is, how to drive out the bandits?
If you charge head-on, this will definitely not work. I went home and studied it yesterday. Each of the bandit's mountain gates is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cost of breaking through a mountain gate is really too high.
At some narrow intersections, only a dozen or so people with a shotgun can block hundreds of people!
Moreover, if we can really break into the mountain gate of the bandits, then there will be no need for elite troops. "
Last night, Lu Yuan went home and watched "God of War" all night.
It was impossible for him, Gu Lie, to just go home and fall asleep.
Gu Lie also spent the whole night reading a book about banditry in the south.
The biggest problem with banditry in the south is that the bandits' location is too favorable.
Some narrow places can only accommodate one person.
Even if you charge forward with a heavy shield, as long as a huge boulder rolls down...
Anyway, if they want to break through a bandit mountain with less than a hundred people, the regular army of the Zhou Dynasty must pay dozens of times more casualties.
And a bandit den with less than a hundred people can only be considered a small bandit.
The largest bandit den in the south has thousands of people!
How to attack this?
Brother Lu Yuan had a good idea. He beat the bandit out of his den and then beheaded him with the help of elite troops.
But the problem is...
There is no way to proceed even to the first step.
Unless it's just a hard fight, just use your life to fill it up.
In fact, this is the most difficult step in suppressing bandits.
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Lie with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Yes, that's the problem, but... what about using artillery?"
gun?
Gu Lie was startled, then smiled helplessly:
"That's even more impossible..."
"Some of the mountain roads there are difficult for even skilled soldiers to climb, and many of the rugged mountain roads can only be passed by one person.
How are the cannons and shells weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms transported up?
Even if it takes a huge amount of manpower and material resources to transport a few guns up, it will not work at all. The maximum elevation angle of the cannon cannot be fired at all. "
After listening to Gu Lie's words, Lu Yuan patted Gu Lie on the shoulder, looked at Gu Qingwan who was listening carefully and said with a smile:
"Look, look at our brother, I will say that he is really good and a qualified commander."
Gu Qingwan didn't know much about military matters, but what Gu Qingwan knew was people's hearts.
Therefore, what Lu Yuan said just now seemed reasonable to Gu Qingwan, but she couldn't tell what was right or wrong.
On the other hand, my younger brother could see the problem in just a few clicks.
For a moment... Gu Qingwan felt a little bit...
Have you really delayed your brother...
As for Lu Yuan's current appearance, Gu Qingwan could naturally see that this Lu Yuan definitely had a solution to these problems!
Seeing Lu Yuan like this, Gu Qingwan pouted, then patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, you must have a way, just tell me."
Afterwards, Lu Yuan shook his head and looked at Gu Lie with some pride and said:
"Do you think there is a cannon with a maximum elevation angle of 80 or 90 degrees?"
Gu Lie looked at Lu Yuan with a question mark on his face.
The maximum elevation angle is eighty or ninety degrees? ?
What kind of gun is this?
Then Lu Yuan shook his head again and said:
"And this cannon is very light, weighing only a dozen kilograms at most?"
Gu Qingwan's face was filled with questions again.
How is this possible!
Although Gu Qingwan on the side did not understand military affairs, she had never eaten pork before and she had seen pigs running away!
During the war, Gu Qingwan often went to the military camp.
The cannons weighed over a thousand kilograms and required seven or eight people to pull them around.
Even if it's small, it still weighs several hundred kilograms.
How many pounds? ?
Is this also called a cannon?
Lu Yuan continued to shake his head and said:
"A squad is calculated as nine people, three people in a group, each person can carry ten rounds of artillery shells, and a squad can carry ninety artillery shells.
If it were you, how long do you think it would take you to conquer a mountain? "
Gu Lie's face was full of questions. After he came to his senses, Gu Lie smiled helplessly and said:
"Brother, what are you talking about...how can someone have that kind of weapon...
There really is that kind of weapon... I can lead a battalion for half a day without even using it, I can just blast the hell out of it. "
After listening to Gu Lie's words, Lu Yuan also had a smile on his face and said:
"Yeah, just fuck him."
After speaking, Lu Yuan took out a stack of manuscript paper from his arms, put it on the table and said with a grin:
“And this kind of weapon didn’t exist before.
Now that I have it, I call it a mortar! "
