279 Stunned
Huge explosions awakened Illidan from the state of summoning the Anubis legion.
It wasn't the explosion that interrupted Illidan's spell casting, but Illidan could not imagine what kind of weapon would make such a terrifying sound.
When Illidan looked around, his face suddenly became embarrassing. The wolf-headed and human-born Anubis legion soldiers were constantly blown up in the explosion of air waves, not flying one by one, but flying one by one!
Many of the flying Anubis legion soldiers disintegrated in mid-air and turned into sand scattered on the ground.
The Anubis Legion soldiers were originally fighting puppets summoned by black magic using sand, and they would naturally turn back to sand after death.
Their tall and mighty bodies are actually as fragile as humans and can easily be killed.
Illidan, who had never fought with the Han army, saw such a huge explosion for the first time. The lethality of this explosion was many times stronger than the flowering bullets installed in the Ottoman Empire on a small scale!
Yilidan even suspected that the Han army artillery used not black gunpowder at all, but a more advanced gunpowder.
As the Japanese division's breech single-shot rifle was captured by the Kingdom of England, yellow gunpowder, which had better effect than black gunpowder, had entered the field of vision of researchers in the Kingdom of England, and even the Ottoman Empire received relevant news.
However, the Kingdom of England is not ready to share the most advanced research results with other countries, so the night elves of the Ottoman Empire only know that there is a gunpowder that is more advanced than black gunpowder, but they don’t know what it is.
Technical barriers are not so easy to break through unless the Kingdom of England is willing to share with all countries in exchange for resource benefits like the flintlock technology.
Yilidan studied the battle records of Xiao Yunyang's summoning army and the British Kingdom of the Ace Redshirts.
However, in this era, there was no camera, and there was no camera. Records were in text form. Even if there were oil paintings, the real situation could not be seen!
When reading the text records, how can you see the shock of real artillery bombardment?
Even though the breech gun used by the Beiyang Legion is not much different in explosion power than the breech gun used by the Japanese division during the Meiji period, the most advanced is only the effective range and hit rate, but it is enough to make Illidan stunned...
Oh yes, the reason why the Redshirts were the trump card of the Kingdom of England was because in the past year, due to the heavy losses of the Redshirts, they were beaten by the Han army on the battlefield in various ways. The British Parliament has decided to reorganize the Redshirts and establish a new main force regiment.
The reorganization here is not a change of name and military uniform, but a copy of the Japanese division that beat them all the way!
For example, the grassroots organization for scheduling!
In the era of queuing and shooting, there was no squad system, only company, because the queuing and shooting tactics were made up of a small square formation of about a hundred people, which was very dense. A company captain and a few adjutants could command these 100 people very smoothly.
However, with the popularity of breech guns, dense small square formations are no longer enough. Although dense formations are still respected, dense formations in the era of breech guns can only be used when charging, and when shooting, they no longer stand straight and get shot.
The breech gun is not a flintlock gun. It is accurate to hit it. If you stand too straight, it is no different from going to the execution ground!
Therefore, breech guns are used to shoot at the terrain or simply lie on the ground and squat on the ground and shoot.
Of course, we cannot line up in dense formations to shoot rounds and volleys, which will inevitably cause the entire company to disperse. Only when it is dispersed can we form a wider firepower net!
As the formation dispersed, the distance between the hundreds of people spread out was too high. It was impossible to rely solely on those company officers.
Therefore, changing the breech gun is not only a weapon revolution, but also a military revolution.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made teacher in the Kingdom of England. After being defeated by the Japanese division so many times, a fool can be beaten and learned a lesson!
The Kingdom of England is a good student. He copied the Japanese divisions very seriously. Not only did he copy the scheduling system that was originally not available, but he also copied the brigade system of the Japanese divisions.
Of course, the name must be changed, to conform to the tradition of the Kingdom of England and to the name of the brigade camp.
Thanks to the enemy teacher of the Japanese Division, the army of the Kingdom of England moved closer to the modern military system at an astonishing speed.
Only by relying on the English Channel and the Royal Navy to protect the English Kingdom can reform at home with peace of mind.
In contrast, the Ottoman Empire and the Mongol Empire were not in the mood at all, and were all busy expanding their troops and purchasing advanced firearms.
Military reform should be done until the Han Empire is defeated!
Of course, the biggest reason is that these two countries have not been beaten by the Japanese division, so they are completely out of the military system reform, and the Kingdom of England will not actively send instructors to help them.
In the eyes of the British Kingdom, the Mongol Empire and the Ottoman Empire were the flesh-shield cannon fodder that dragged the Han Empire and prevented the Han Empire from investing wealth in naval construction.
Without the land threat from these two empires, the Han Empire would have devoted its energy and financial resources to naval construction.
Although there is a saying of a century-old navy, the manufacturing threshold for sail battleships is low. With the current territory and human resources of the Han Empire, it is possible to build sail battleships like dumplings!
At that time, even a navy trained by sailors recruited by the people could rely on the number of naval battleships to kill the Royal British Navy!
After all, the navy is different from the army. There are many factors that lead to the victory or defeat of the army, but the navy basically depends on two things.
First, the hardware strength is the number and physique of the warships.
Second, the soft power of naval sailors is the accumulation of combat experience and navigation experience, and it is also an important source of the century-old naval statement.
However, as long as the first hardware strength is far greater than the second, it can completely make up for its own shortcomings.
The sailors have insufficient experience, so isn't it okay to fight one of two battleships?
This is like the Air Force in later generations. Even if you are an air force ace pilot, your aircraft will be beaten by one or two generations behind the enemy. If you cross a big era, such as a jet against a propeller, then a novice can completely abuse the ace pilot...
This is the power of technology!
In the 21st century of Xiao Yunyang's previous life, the generation difference of the plane was so terrifying that I could accurately hit you, but you couldn't see me.
This is actually a unilateral massacre.
The aircraft is one generation short of its size, and the quantity is basically unable to make up for the quality gap.
