Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

"Huang Jijiu, let's not talk about sixteen hundred miles in a quarter of an hour. Let's just say that this thing is not easy to use at night, strong wind, rain, and fog, right? How can we convey military information when the enemy is sneaking in at this time? Woolen cloth?"

This was a question raised by a major general and brigade commander after listening to Huang Biehe's introduction to the new beacon tower. However, when he asked this question, he found that everyone looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong? Am I right?"

The major general and brigade commander thought quickly in his mind and didn't find anything wrong with his words!

Seeing that the major general had not yet reacted, Lu Yulin couldn't help but said:

"Let me ask you, are you willing to march dozens or hundreds of miles to siege and plunder a city at night, in strong winds, heavy rain, and heavy fog?"

The major general was stunned, thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's easy to say that it's easy to fight at night. It's not a big problem for our army to fight at night, but strong winds, heavy rain, and heavy fog make it impossible to fight."

Yes, the current situation of the Han army is that the soldiers have eliminated night blindness, and night fighting is not a big problem;

But windy weather delayed the march and affected morale;

Heavy rain makes it even worse. Bows, crossbows and arrows cannot be used for a long time, and the loss of usability is also shocking;

As for the foggy weather, it was better, but he would never march at this time, as it would be too easy for the enemy to ambush him.

So Lu Yulin looked at him with a smile, "You know, our army has no problem fighting at night, but this does not mean that Bai Lian and Da Gan have no problem. Night blindness is very fatal to them. Only the real elite can ignore this. , but its combat effectiveness will also plummet."

Here we have to talk about what happened a few months ago when Lu Yulin led a mountain brigade across the river at night and was ambushed by Da Gan's Jiangbei camp.

Jiangbei Camp mobilized elite troops, relying on the advantages of familiarity with the terrain and the careless conditions of the mountain brigade, but was still defeated by the mountain brigade.

Therefore, night battles and night marches are not a problem for the Han army, but they are actually quite a big problem for the enemy.

And this major general also suddenly realized.

Yes, whether it is night, strong wind, heavy rain or foggy weather, it has an impact on you, but doesn’t it have any impact on the enemy?

Even if the enemy makes a sneak attack, they will fight as before, and it will not affect the Han army's battle at all. When the weather improves, the enemy will be surrounded by the Han army immediately.

The most important thing is that this message transmission is not the transmission of military orders, but the transmission of military information. In this case, it is not a big deal.

Not to mention that these beacon towers were built within the territory of the Han army and relied on the garrison to exist. The problems he was worried about were not problems.

Even if it takes half an hour to deliver a message from Jinling Mansion to Changsha City, even if there is heavy rain or other extreme weather along the way, it will be fine. It can be delayed for a while and then the message can be delivered. It is really impossible to use people and horses to deliver the message during this period of weather.

In short, this transmission must be much faster than the traditional communication method, there is no doubt.

So the major general smiled and took a step back, hoping that no one would notice him anymore. It was really embarrassing.

As the visit to the beacon tower ended, everyone basically left.

As for the establishment of beacon towers, information transmission and translation, as well as application issues, those are the responsibility of the Han military headquarters, and they can just use them.

..................

As the meeting ends, new recruits begin to drop off and new teams begin to form.

On the other side, Liu Wu visited a naval weapons training.

I saw many fire ships going down the river, rushing towards the three new warships downstream.

"boom!"

As the fire ships collided, the three battleships downstream were almost unscathed.

Not only that, the warship also took the initiative to swim upstream, directly ramming the fireships along the way to pieces, showing its invincibility.

Liu Wu observed with a telescope and suddenly realized something.

Not because of anything else, but because these three battleships are ironclads developed by the research institute and suitable for combat in Hanoi lakes, and are equipped with a new generation of steam engines.

But it was not over yet. As the warships broke through the fire ship's encirclement and suppression, they soon faced the Han army's current main warship.

"boom!"

The first to launch the attack were three new warships. According to Liu Wu's observation, the arrows fired by a strange crossbow on these three warships were so fast that they could not be seen clearly.

But it didn't matter. The battleship upstream was soon shaken. Liu Wu immediately looked with a telescope and saw a hole in the ship, and the target on it was also torn to pieces.

"What kind of bed crossbow is this?" Liu Wu asked curiously.

Guo Haoman replied: "This is the three-bow bed crossbow developed by the research institute."

"This kind of bed crossbow is composed of three large bows, all of which are iron-tied bows. The bowstrings are also made of steel wire. They are pulled by a winch and fire a huge arrow that looks like a spear."

"This bed crossbow has been tested and found to be extremely powerful. It can reach [-] steps and is invincible within [-] steps."

"If nothing else, if today's warships are hit by it a few times, even if it doesn't sink, the soldiers on board will have no fighting spirit."

"I have seen it attack heavy armored soldiers, which are targets. If it were a real person, it would probably pierce the gourd of blood."

"In addition, if this thing is used in siege, it will also be miraculous, because it can be nailed directly to the city wall, allowing soldiers to climb up."

"It's just that I'm not too clear. It seems that these three-bow crossbows are not intended to be equipped with infantry?"

"Ok!"

After listening to Guo Haoman's words, Liu Wu just nodded and said yes.

Then he thought for a while, "This thing creates difficulties. If I guessed correctly, the bowstring is definitely a big problem, if nothing else."

"The other thing is that this kind of bed crossbow is too heavy. It's okay to install it on a ship. If it is equipped with infantry, it will be troublesome to transfer it."

"What's more, the weapons used by infantry in the future will definitely not be crossbows. Its role is now only useful in naval battles, water battles, and city defense battles."

For this kind of bed crossbow, Liu Wu immediately thought of how to use it. For the rocket launcher he was about to equip, this bed crossbow was too bulky.

After he pondered for a while, he shook his head again, because he found that rocket launchers could not be quickly equipped to the entire army, and the main force was mainly Shenji Battalion, so this thing still had to be used for transition.

However, he is not entangled in this matter, and will decide its use based on production volume.

At this time, the exercise experiment had reached a point where the three formal warships were far away from the 'enemy' warships.

"boom!"

I saw three warships roaring, which was the power of the guns installed on the ships. In the blink of an eye, a hole was broken at the waterline of the ship that was hit.

Guo Haoman introduced: "This is a gun with a strange name, but it is very useful. It fires an iron pellet, which can hit wherever you point it within a hundred steps. It is powerful enough to break a ship."

"In this case, the enemy's ships will either leak water or slow down, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Then, as the remaining 'enemy' ships came closer, the guns were raised and fired again.

This time, the targets on the ship were all in tatters. Guo Haoman said:

"This time the bullets fired were shotguns. When fired, they spread out into a fan-shaped area, sweeping across all visible enemies on the enemy's ship within fifty steps."

Then, the three warships accelerated their speed to avoid collision with the 'enemy' warships.

Then I heard Guo Haoman explain again: "These three warships are equipped with steam engines, and their speed is much faster than sails. Faced with the collision of enemy ships, there is a high probability of avoiding them."

Speaking of this, Guo Haoman sighed: "If there are a hundred such warships, our navy can dominate all the lakes and rivers in the world. No matter whether it is Daqian or Bailian's navy, they are no match for our navy."

Liu Wu looked at Guo Haoman who had a sigh on his face and shook his head.

"Just think about it. The current research institute and ordnance institute definitely don't have the ability to produce like this. Let's use these ships first. They should be used as main warships and at the same time used to train soldiers who can operate such warships in the future!"

After hearing this, Guo Haoman lowered his head in disappointment.

In fact, the reason why he conducted such an exercise in front of Liu Wu today was because he wanted the superiors to allocate funds to issue construction orders.

It's a pity that the Han army is now short of supplies. To do this, it is better to equip the entire army with weapons and armor.

Although this idea is very bad, the current situation is such that there are always trade-offs.
