Marshal Li's statement is very interesting. He classified weapons according to attack distance. For example, infantry only needs to attack targets within two hundred meters, so the range of Ming Dynasty's rifles should be two hundred meters.

In this way, the bullet reduces the charge and reduces the cost. With the lighter weight, soldiers can carry more ammunition."

"What about two hundred meters away? What weapons did they use?" Ekaterina asked with interest.

"Between 200 meters and 500 meters is the shooting distance of machine guns. Further away, 500 meters to 800 meters is the shooting distance of infantry artillery and mortars. Our soldiers will not be able to fire at this distance.

If you are shot at, you will only be bombarded by enemy artillery.

As for 800 meters away, that is the shooting distance of mortars. If it is further away, the Ming army also has howitzers.

Until now, this kind of gun was only available in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the 120mm howitzer can shoot up to 15,600 meters.

If it's any further away, I'm afraid airships will have to bomb it."

Speaking of the airship, Dorgon paused. "Dear Her Majesty the Queen, I want to report some good news to you today."

"Oh! What good news?" Ekaterina put down her knife and fork, eager to hear what kind of good news Dorgon brought.

"The good news is... last time the Mongols captured the Ming Dynasty's double-25 rapid-fire cannon. After inspection, we found that it was actually the Ming Dynasty's anti-aircraft gun.

After our repeated tests, this anti-aircraft gun has been successfully imitated. We just conducted a live-fire target shooting yesterday, which proved that this kind of thing is very effective in attacking airships." Dorgon's tone was full of pride.
