Yongcheng.

Chang Wei is always paying attention to changes in the battlefield situation.

It is obvious that after the first temptation, the subsequent war will fall into a long period of confrontation and consumption.

In other words, the two sides will fight each other based on the trenches and consume each other's troops.

For this, he hoped.

After he wanted to consume a lot of Beidi's vitality, he then ordered the Yongzhou army to launch a counterattack and eventually win the war in the north.

Furthermore, due to railway reasons, they no longer have to face heavy logistical pressure like that.

Food and ammunition can be replenished as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a telegram to the royal palace to introduce the situation on the battlefield.

...

The palace.

Zhao Xu received Chang Wei’s battle report, learned about the situation on the battlefield, and replied to the three words “I know” again.

These three words are very simple, but they mean that he is very satisfied with the current battlefield situation.

The Dasong army in Yongzhou can certainly launch an active attack on the Beidi army.

But in this way, the Beidi people might soon collapse and choose to retreat.

This will not achieve his goal of destroying his living power.

Taking a defensive moment is like boiling a frog in warm water. The opponent will try to break through again and again, and naturally it will consume more troops on the battlefield.

At the same time, there is another point.

The longer the two sides confront each other, the greater the role Chen Hu's lancers can play on the battlefield.

He also believed that Chen Hu would definitely not disappoint his expectations.

After Feng'er replied to Chang Wei's telegram, Zhao Xu went to the Military Affairs Office.

At the school ground of the Bingzhan Department, he met Wang Ying, who was testing a mobile machine gun.

When Wang Ying saw Zhao Xu, he immediately came over and led Zhao Xu to the school grounds.

"How is the test of this mobile machine gun? Can't it be delivered to the army for use?" Zhao Xu asked.

Now, the Beidi army is confronting Yongzhou, and he hopes that a batch of machine guns will be put into the battlefield.

In this way, he could dig a big hole for the Beidi people, making them lose their heads and make them bleeding.

"Return to Your Highness, it's almost done. Today is the last live-fire test, and it can be manufactured in small batches below." Wang Ying said.

It has been half a month since the King of Yan came back.

The last time he took one month in the meeting hall, it was to be safe and prevent him from being scolded if he didn't have enough time.

But in fact, the test is almost done.

In the past half a month, after he took a break from the machine gun's sight, the hand-cranked machine gun had no more flaws.

"This is great." Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Then, he turned his eyes to the machine gun in front of him.

At this moment, the machine gun was equipped with a cylinder-like magazine, like a needle and thread tube.

The golden bullet inside can be seen from the gap in the magazine.

"Since that's the case, let me shoot myself and give you a perfect end to this test." Zhao Xu said.

"The honor of this natural minister and others." Wang Ying laughed, and the officials of the bullying military officials also echoed.

For a man, muskets and cannons are equivalent to the swords of ancient swordsmen, and are romance of men.

Zhao Xu naturally couldn't refuse.

After the Qin-style rifle was loaded, he left one in the study.

When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I rode my horse out to hunt with Xu Lie.

Faced with this mobile machine gun, he naturally had no resistance.

There was no need for Wang Ying's guidance. Zhao Xu knelt on one knee and pointed the muzzle at a tree stump one hundred meters away, one meter thick, and calibrated the muzzle.

Then, he gave the loading auxiliary soldier a look and signaled him to turn the shaking wheel.

Different from the chain magazine of the Maxim machine gun.

The magazines with key machine guns are cylinder magazines, and the bullets are loaded into the cylinder.

Turn the shake wheel and the cylinder will rotate, filling the bullet into the chamber.

"start!"

"Dadada..."

Zhao Xu gave an order and pulled the plate armor at the same time, and the machine gun immediately spit out a tongue of flames.

Bullets flew out, and the stumps a hundred meters away suddenly flew out of wood chips.

When Zhao Xu was shooting, the machine gun deputy had a calm expression and shook the handwheel at a constant speed.

One magazine was consumed and he immediately stopped and installed another magazine.

In this way, the machine gun fire will stagnate and will basically continue when changing magazines.

"Dadada..."

Five minutes later, the tree stump a hundred meters away suddenly broke in the middle.

At that location, the bullets were basically empty.

"Hahaha, it's perfect." The tree stump broke, Zhao Xu stood up and looked at Wang Ying, "How long will it take for you to make one?"

"When making sample guns, craftsmen understood the size and structure of machine gun accessories. However, since only a few craftsmen participated and had to use electric lathes to make parts, production was limited, and up to three frames could be assembled a day." Wang Ying said.

"Three aircraft are enough. Thirty machine guns will be provided to the Yongzhou front-line army within ten days." Zhao Xu said.

In war, the number of machine guns has never been a problem.

The problem is the bullet.

Therefore, the number of machine guns provided to the army in modern times is limited, and it only needs to be enough.

It is certainly good to have a machine gun for everyone, but it is unrealistic and there is not so much bullet waste.

Moreover, machine gunners are naturally not as flexible as infantry, and can only be used as heavy firepower configuration.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Ying said, "Tomorrow, I sent soldiers to Yongzhou with sample guns to train a group of machine gunners."

Zhao Xu nodded, Wang Ying thought very thoughtfully.

In this way, the machine gun can be put into use on the battlefield as soon as it arrives.
