After several discussions, the artillery guards have not found a way to crack the cavalry's impact artillery array. Cavalry's impact artillery array cannot fight in a short period of time regardless of whether the artillery array can be defended. The same boreboats, the use methods of the cold weapons era and the hot weapons era are different. The installment of the cold and hot weapons era was in the 17th century, and it is more detailed. The Spanish large square formation still belongs to the cold weapons era. The Morris horizontal team after the Spanish large square formation and the Gustav line-style tactics belong to the hot weapons era.

The only difference between the two is that the army mainly relies on projection weapons such as gunpowder-driven forces to fight, or is supplemented by gunpowder, and mainly rely on contact cold weapons such as spears.

The reason why the artillery charge tactic invented by Chen Qing was ineffective is that it was the artillery tactics of the 19th century in the era of hot weapons. All infantry in this period were equipped with smoothbore guns and flintlock guns. They could stand behind the cannon and shoot at the enemy. Bullets passed through the cannon positions from the air to shoot at the enemy, but this was impossible in the era of cold weapons. Infantry must cross the cannon positions to kill the enemy and defeat the enemy's formation. Once the infantry crossed, the cannon was behind them, and there was no way to shoot again.

There is no better way for infantry and cavalrymen, because the most reasonable tactics are being implemented now. Only Chen Qing and others are unwilling to use artillery later, and they are eager to change the current tactics.

"I think the cannon formation should stand behind the spear formation..." The warm shogunate, Chen Qing's first words aroused the laughter of the generals. Xiang Liang teased: "I think the cannon soldiers should stand behind the globe."

Although the artillery guard position in the Battle of Sandshui was not broken by the Qin cavalry, the position was submerged by horse corpses and did not participate in the battle until the end of the battle. This was a common thing in the era of cold weapons. Spanish spearmen needed to cross heavy artillery to fight the enemy, and Ming soldiers needed to cross tiger squat artillery to fight the enemy. This was an inevitable phenomenon when the hot and cold weapons were alternating. However, after this battle, generals who had great expectations for artillery guards would inevitably make fun of them.

In the battle with Wang Ben, there was no way to cut iron piles on the ice and snow, and only rely on the chariot formation to resist the horses, the Qin cavalry finally rushed into the cannon formation. Fortunately, the infantry behind him supported him in time and did not cause much loss, but this was a bit embarrassing. Xiang Liang's words made the generals laugh even more. Xiong Jing coughed and the shogunate calmed down.

"Why should the cannon array stand behind the spear array?" Xiong Jing looked at Chen Qing in confusion, not as if he was afraid.

"The frozen earth is unable to stand up. If the Qin cavalry attacks us, the cannon formation will be broken. Instead of doing this, it is better to line up behind the spear formation and use thunder to break the enemy..."

Chen Qing didn't care about the ridicule of the surrounding generals. First, he did not want the artillery soldiers to only shoot before the war, but wanted to fight the entire venue; second, there would be more Qin cavalry rushing in the next battle. Unlike the previous battle, some short-barrel cannons were still on the floating boats, and the next battle, the Chu army would have 33 ten-pound cannons, twelve siege cannons, and 134 short-barrel cannons. These 179 cannons were placed at ten meters intervals, with a width of nearly 1,800 meters. The Qin cavalry was about to attack such a long array, and five thousand cavalry were not enough.

"Otherwise!" An unexpected person spoke out against it. "There are still 30,000 cavalry in the Qin cavalry, and only 7,000 cavalry in our army will fight. If the artillery array is not arranged in front of the formation, the Qin cavalry will attack our army's back, and the artillery soldiers will be in front of the formation."

"Seven thousand cavalry?" Some generals were surprised when they heard this, but when they thought of the three heavy cavalry wedge formations, they all understood again.

"There are many Qin cavalry, and the artillery soldiers do not kill the Qin cavalry. What if it is?" Gui Jing bowed to Chen Qing, "The artillery soldiers should line up in front to kill the Qin cavalry. If the formation is broken, the infantry soldiers can rescue each other. Then the infantry ran forward and fought with the Qin people. Is it impossible for the artillery soldiers to attack the enemy with thunder bombs at this time?"

"It should be like this." Jing Sheng and Qi Jixun said, and the other jockeys also agreed.

"The artillery soldiers should be in front of the camp." Xiong Jing agreed with the suggestions of Gui Jing and other jockeys leading the way.

"However, the cannon formation will be broken under the frozen ice." Chen Qing said. "Since the end of the battle, the Qin people will attack me with all the cavalry and soldiers."

"Before the Qin cavalry breaking the formation, the artillery bars stop shooting, and the infantry rushes forward." Zhuang Wudidao. The issue of Qin cavalry attacking the artillery bars has carefully deduced in the past few days. When the Qin cavalry is about to break the artillery bars, infantry should step forward to protect the artillery bars. "Infantry bars rush forward, the artillery bars should retreat. After the artillery bars retreat, they will attack the enemy with thunder bombs, especially the Qin people's catapults."

"Yes." Zhuang Wudi's suggestion made Zhou Houruo, Xiang Liang, Ele, Dongyegu and others who were deeply troubled with the catapult. The catapult was arranged after the Qin army formation and continued to fire irrigated bombs. The range of the bow and arrow was not enough, and the firing of the cannon was about to hit his own people again.

"This thunder bomb..." Xiong Jing was not very interested in thunder bombs. The real diameter of the ten-jin cannon shell is only 78 mm. Seventy-eight millimeters minus the thin 15-mm shell wall specially made, and the remaining space can contain extremely limited gunpowder, less than one hundred grams, about eighty grams. This is a lot worse than the 155 grams of thunder bombs of 15-jin cannon. A 130 grams of grenade was charged with several pieces, and eighty grams of gunpowder barely exploded the shells.

"Da Ao was wrong. He didn't use ten kilograms of thunder bombs, but sixty-eight kilograms of thunder bombs." Chen Qing knew that Xiong Jing would think it was ten kilograms of cannons, and what he really wanted was the 68 kilograms of thunder bombs from a short-barrel cannon. "Sixty-eight kilograms of thunder bombs will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with five kilograms of medicine."

"Sixty-eight pounds of thunder bombs?" Xiong Jing was stunned. He only knew that the sixty-eight pounds of thunder bombs were still being tested.

The heavier the shell, the larger the diameter, the larger the diameter, the more cavity, the more charge it. The sixty-eight kilogram shell has a diameter of 152 mm, and the charge volume is more than 700 milliliters, which can hold more than 1,200 grams of gunpowder. What is this concept? According to the power of gunpowder and TNT, these gunpowder are 90% of the power of a M24 (1915 type) grenade with a charge of 170 grams of TNT. The M24 is killed by shock waves, and the thunder shell of the sixty-eight kilogram cannon will explode cast iron fragments. If the landing point is within two meters, you will be injured within six meters.

"Previously, the Grand Sima Mansion allowed the Gunpowder Mansion to make 3,000 pieces for trial, so it was not included in the shogunate booklet." Bu Liangju knew that this matter was requested by him and Chen Qing. He requested it in June and made it before it snowed and delivered it.

"Without a firing meter, how dare you use it?" Xiong Jing was not surprised. This was a test bullet, and he could only adjust it in time by relying on the experience of the gun captain and the gun guards. This is a short-barrel gun with a diameter of only six times, with a diameter of less, a range of short and low accuracy.

"The Qin people's catapults are more than a hundred steps away from our soldiers, and more than a hundred steps will not hurt our soldiers." Chen Qing said.

"Can you attack the Qin people's rear formation?" Zhuang Wudi asked at the opportunity. He knew that after the two armies fought, the Qin soldiers array was only forty rows and the depth was only a dozen steps, and the distance between these ten steps could not be bending, because the shells might be deviated. The back formations were different, and the back formations were separated by hundreds of steps, and if they deviated, they would not be able to hurt their own people.

"When Meng Tian and Wang Ben, the front and back formations were a hundred steps apart, and Wang Jian's front and back formations were also a hundred steps apart?" Xiong Jing said. "If I were Wang Jian, if I saw the enemy's artillery shooting me, I would have to wait for the rear formation to retreat quickly, and it would be impossible to reach five hundred steps."

"Reported to Da Ao, the thunder bomb is lighter and can reach 700 steps." Bu Liangju interjected.

"Then stand behind seven hundred steps." Xiong Jing nodded because the charge of the thunder bomb was indeed lighter than the solid bullet. "The front formation will be broken, and the back formation will inevitably come forward. How many shots can be fired at seven hundred steps?"

"Ten guns, twelve guns..." Chen Qing silently calculated the time it took for the Qin army to rush through 700 steps. This fast-moving shooting requires the amount of advance, the shells must land where the Qin soldiers were about to pass, and the wooden signal tubes must explode just right when they land. These two points alone will make some new gun soldiers flee. It is really troublesome to have no shooting table.

"You can hit the catapult, hit the enemy..." Xiong Jing saw his embarrassment and did not say the following words.

The general led his strategists to have no idea about the flowering bullets such as thunder bombs. Most of them thought there was no difference between thunder bombs and solid bombs. Everyone saw the embarrassment of artillery soldiers in the Battle of the Gap, and many people put forward suggestions for improvement.

"Can the cannon array not be formed between the spear array?" Ruoao Duxing also talked about his thoughts, which was what he had discussed before.

"The Qin cavalry rushed to my cannon formation, and the cannon formation must be broken, only infantry..." Zhuang Wudi was wondering why he raised this question again. The cannon array was arranged between the spear formations, and infantry could not come forward to protect them. Once the formation was broken, the Qin cavalry would cut and kill the cannons.

"I know." In the past few days, Ruo Ao Du Xing of the Shogunate, he had heard people discussing the cannon formation. He just had some new ideas based on these. Without saying a word, he picked up the paper and pen on the wooden table and directly drew an array. His painting skills were really inferior, and everyone he saw after the Chu paper was unfolded. Xiong Jing also smiled. The painting was so ugly that the cannon formation was a cannon formation, the infantry was a infantryman, and the Qin cavalry was a Qin cavalry, so he could basically understand it.

"The Qin cavalry rushed towards me, and the cannon formation will definitely be defeated." Ruo Ao Du Xing blushed when everyone laughed, and he insisted on finishing his thoughts. "I can only save him with infantry, so the cannon formation must be before the spear formation, not between the spear formations, no?"

"Of course." Zhuang Wudi nodded, and the rest of the generals led Sima to nod.

"However, if the artillery array is in front of the spear formation, the infantry stepped forward to protect the cannon and fought with the enemy. After the artillery array is in the spear formation, the artillery airmen will not attack the enemy again." Ruo Ao said alone again. "Besides, there are many dead horses before the artillery array, and it is inconvenient to move, so he can only shoot the enemy in a blink of an eye."

"Yes." Zhuang Wudi answered again, and the rest of his head stopped nodding. This was something he discussed a few days ago.
