"So that's how it is." The old man put down the war situation report in his hand and suddenly realized it.

He was also wondering how Wei Yang could sweep the vast area west of Hetao in a few months, and now he understood everything.

Wei Yang did not rely on the iron cavalry to use troops unscrupulously. When he wiped out the three Tatar tribes, he faced more than 30,000 cavalry, which were elite cavalry who had been fighting Caogu in the area south of Hetao for many years. If he wanted to deal with them, the Beiting Army and Cang Yun Army were afraid that they would have to pay tens of thousands of casualties. However, the data counted after the war showed that Wei Yang only paid less than a thousand casualties. He completely relied on his weapon advantages to crush them all the way, and then the light cavalry swept across the entire grassland.

Vice General Zhao returned from Turpan, and he also came to see the details of the battle.

"The use of the hundred tigers running together has exceeded our expectations, but the 'modular' production he proposed is a bit difficult to accomplish." Deputy General Zhu said, "When he went to the expedition, most of the weapons and ammunition carried by the Cang Yun army was laid down in Beiting, but all the hundred tigers running together in Beiting were dismantled into several parts and brought out. The loss during the march alone reached a surprising level. If modular production is achieved, more weapons can be provided for the expedition army, but the current production scale does not meet this requirement."

The old prince smiled and said, "Did you just see this, but didn't you see the following sentence?"

What?

Of course it is "assembly line production", which is a technology that has been skilled in fine salt production.

"The problem exposed in this battle is that our Hundred Tigers are used too few times. In the end, the army had to fight cavalry with the Tatars. Wei Yang meant to open the steel production supply chain and quickly deploy a group of fine steel Hundred Tigers cannons that can control the situation on the battlefield first. I guess, the next thing this kid is going to fight is Chagatai. Look," Deputy General Zhao pointed to the war situation and said that his face was a little excited. "The original wooden wheel cannon was to be made into a modular steel artillery, which mainly requires the ability to marches in the grassland and desert terrain."

In addition, the war situation report also suggested that the General's Office of the baggage supply focused on the research and development of "mountain artillery".

This is a comprehensive offensive situation in southern Xinjiang.

"However, the fractionation of oil cannot be achieved at present. I am afraid that I cannot keep up with the goal of "all asphalt roads" required by this kid to "build three vertical and three horizontal western expressways". We require that the civil and military settlements be accelerated after the full launch of the road construction work, and we can only achieve the goal of barely available. It will take some effort to achieve the unobstructed unimpededness he requires." Deputy General Zhu simply proposed, "I'd better call it back and study it carefully."

At this time, the Qinghai war situation report was also delivered.

The little princess was not just staring at the Hexi Corridor. She swept away a large area in southern Qinghai. The tentacles that had just extended were pressed to the mountain pass and could not be reached. The tribes of Uszang requested to join the plateau, but they didn't know what they meant.

The issue of "specialization of artillery" was also raised in the war report, which was specifically manifested as: "Our army has the advantage of concentrating war horses to quickly assess a certain area. The artillery belonging to the cavalry and the artillery currently used on a large scale belong to two different types, and should be distinguished. According to the situation of the war, there are six types of artillery that can be divided. The first is "fortress cannon", which mainly plays a role in prevention and enemy forces, and should be mainly heavy artillery; the second is "all-terrain cannon", which should strengthen the duality of marching and defense."

These are the two main types of artillery that the Western Army is now using. The little princess only raised the issue of "modular" for easy transportation and "parts can be replaced", which is what Wei Yang had said long ago.

"Third, the artillery used by the cavalry should be light, detachable, and reduced long-distance transportation losses as the main goal. According to the battle situation, it can be temporarily determined as the main artillery to achieve modular production. The cavalry can disassemble the artillery and carry it to the battlefield before assembly. It has strong concealment and is less restricted by terrain. In addition, the previously mentioned 'curved cannon' cannon' cannon' cannon' be a weapon for cavalry to attack mountain terrain, city terrain, and enemy key defense terrain." The little princess warned

, "If you know today, our army's main combat tactics are characterized by their strong mobility and the best combat efficiency in high-speed movements. Based on this feature, any enemy will study and respond to this tactics as soon as possible. If the cavalry cannot be equipped with artillery to enhance offensiveness, the next war will definitely be the enemy's offensive characteristics of restraining our army and breaking the myth of the undefeated that the Western Army can be flexible and maneuverable to deter the world. At that time, the enemy troops from all sides will inevitably join forces our army to engage in a war of attrition."

Next is the "mountain troops' permanent artillery" that is still under research, namely "mortar cannon" and "curved cannon".

The mortar cannon is a heavy artillery, and the new type of artillery fire cannon belongs to a professional offensive artillery newly proposed by Wei Yang in the artillery technology development charter written by the Artillery before the New Year.

"In this battle, the problem of mismatch with the mountain troops exposed by the artillery used by our army is very serious. The power of the 'Quan' as a new type of artillery is far greater than the effect mentioned by Wei Yang in the book. Especially in mountain attacks, the use of our army will inevitably maximize the offensive ability. What is more important is that the quanan can not only be used in mountain troops in large quantities, but also serve as conventional artillery in all military forces to provide powerful fire cover for all troops." The little princess drew a picture to illustrate.

The shells fired from the Qu-Fire Cannon were shooting in the sky. Our cavalry troops launched a charge in the area under the shells. The infantry brigade advanced rapidly under the cover of the Qu-Fire Cannon and quickly built a fortification under the enemy's nose. The trenches in the rear of the enemy were clearly visible.

Several veteran generals felt cold. If the enemy uses trenches to restrict our cavalry troops from exerting strong offensiveness, it would be an extremely troublesome problem.

"The fifth type of artillery should not be called artillery, but muskets. At present, the muskets used by our army are all coercive guns. The weather is too affected and the accuracy is also low. The 'fuslock gun' mentioned by Weiyang has indeed been used by Western countries. In this battle, we have also encountered a few troops of such guns used by Uszang," said the little princess. "The bullet production that Weiyang mentioned and the 'kinetic energy system research' behind it should increase investment. The bullets used by Uszang's flint guns are somewhat different from the ammunition used by our army. When the enemy is progressing, we should not be self-satisfied. We are satisfied with the current 'enough' level."

At the end of the notice, she focused on the latest artillery type of the unconscience-free cannon.

The little princess proposed, "This type of new artillery that can rely on terrain to minimize the burden of marching should not only stay at the current research level. The battlefield situation changes in an instant, and there is no reason why we build a position and build a turret before starting a war. The battlefield can prove that our army can completely coordinate the vehicles, containers, and personnel for transporting grain to establish a professional fire support force that "marches into baggage units, and transforms them into artillery during wartime" to strengthen their own strength. It is not advisable to dig a pit to fire medicine bags indiscriminately."

The old generals were as big as a fight, but they also laughed happily.
