"So war is far from that simple. The idea of ​​making weapons must also serve the overall combat mode, and even take into account the strong enemies around it."

"Now, smokeless guns equipped with gunpowder are mainly used in extremely elite troops like the Special Forces Battalion, and the use of explosives in the troops is limited to combating critical moments such as blasting city gates."

"As for dropping large quantities of lethal rifle bullets and artillery charges to the enemy, we still have to use gunpowder, because for war, supply is the most important thing!"

"And now Temujin understands all these principles."

When Shen Mo said this, he smiled and pointed at the musket on the table and said, "From this musket, I can clearly deduce the process of their weapons making."

"The guns they made were not enough to equip all the troops if they were too precise.

If the caliber is made smaller, the amount of ammunition carried by soldiers can be increased exponentially.

But if the caliber is reduced to 10 mm, then they can make fifteen such large-caliber flintlock muskets with a rifle!"

"They must have tried the long barrel musket and found that the longer the barrel, the more accurate the barrel, the longer the range.

But their sights are made in a crude and simple manner, making the rifle's ultra-long range meaningless."

"Then they increased the charge and tried to increase the range of the short barrel rifle, but then they not only had to thicken the barrel wall to resist the chamber pressure, but also increase the weight of the rifle.

And while the external ballistic performance is increased, the internal ballistic performance is terrible!”

"If the charge is doubled, the firing life of this rifle will be shortened to less than one-third of its original one!"

"These Mongolians constantly tried various parameters under the technical conditions they mastered. These attempts allowed them to find a balance between caliber and convenience of production, and also allowed the rifle to reduce weight and facilitate portability when its power reaches the standard."

"They also developed paper-packed gun bullets, which not only facilitates shooting speed and improves serviceability. These are the experiences he gained after getting our brass bullets, but he tried hard to get closer to us."

"In the end, they designed such a simple and crude rifle because it is both useful and easy to build, with ammunition and sufficient quantity to meet the needs of their troops."

"And after such rifles are trained, even ordinary blacksmiths with poor skills can participate in the manufacturing of them.

They divided the work and cooperated, each of them made some parts and then assembled them together, which was an effective gunpowder weapon!”

"This is the result of the combination of weapon design and strategy and tactics. The Mongolians have now embarked on a broad road.

In the future, every time they study a new technological breakthrough, whether it is used to save costs or increase shooting efficiency, it will immediately be transformed into combat power, making their troops more powerful!”

"After all, the teacher is better."

When Liang Er heard Shen Mo say this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Shen Mo with emotion on his face: "After all, teacher, you have judged their research process, equipment quantity, and even tactics that they have not used yet from such a gun! You are the only one in the world who can see such a profound thing."

At this moment, Zhang Yiru also said with emotion: "Now I know that from design to manufacturing, a rifle was sent to the hands of a soldier, and then allowed to fight on the battlefield, there were so many rules and regulations to restrain it, and at the same time it involved such a broad idea!"

"Temujin is worthy of being a hero among men!"

At this time, Shen Mo sighed and said, "No wonder he can sweep across Europe and Asia. This guy is indeed amazing!"

"But that doesn't matter. We have a teacher in our Song Dynasty. It seems that the teacher is ready for this."

At this time, Liang Er smiled with relief and said, "Since such a gunpowder weapon was already within the teacher's expectations, then we have nothing to be scared. We will just wait for the next battle to come."

"This battle is probably not going to be fought in a short time."

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Now our Song Dynasty is desperately advancing the new policy. From the governance methods to the people's livelihood, we must start all over again. This is not a matter of one day or one night."

"Our strength will become stronger and stronger, so the later the war comes, the more obvious our advantage will be.

Whether in weapon manufacturing, human resources, or even in overall national strength, we are not afraid to endure it slowly with him."

"But Temujin can't stand it, right?"

When he heard this, Zhang Yiru immediately smiled and said.

"That's right! Temujin can't wait."

Shen Mo smiled and pushed the rifle forward, while picking up another gun from Liang Er's package from the table: "From this gun, you can tell that Temujin must gather all his technology and financial resources as soon as possible in weapon manufacturing. Then, after these weapons are equipped with his troops, he will be impatient to start a war with us."

"But it takes a long time. If all his troops were counted, they would be afraid that the number would exceed two million. If all of them were equipped with gunpowder weapons... that would have been a long time to work."

When Shen Mo said this, he looked at the gun in his hand carefully, and then he burst out laughing.

I saw that the gun in his hand was strangely shaped, obviously completely made of Mongolian.

This thing looks like a short-handled mace, with three thick barrels on it. These barrels are of a thickness and length of about one and a half feet. They are forged together to form a font shape.

Then behind him there was a one and a half feet long wooden handle, but it was straight and unbent.

There is a ball at the end of the wooden stick, which is obviously used to prevent the loss of hands. The lethality of this thing when it is launched is unknown, but it is definitely one to smash people at a time.

Isn’t this a three-eyed gun?

While thinking in his heart, Shen Mo asked Liang Er, "Which is used by cavalry?"

Liang Er nodded immediately and said, "That's right, this is specially used by cavalrymen to rush for close range. The teacher has good eyesight!"

"What else does this require?"

Shen Mo said with a smile: "The cavalry is jogging hard on the horse. If you use a musket, you will not be able to load it if you only fire one shot."

"And there is no need to consider the accuracy of the guns used immediately. Being able to continue shooting is the key issue, so they increased the barrel to three and then shortened it."

"Because this will allow their cavalry to launch three times in a row, and they can't hit people at long distances, so they just bombarded at close range."
