"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 927
The Qinghe Army has united with various rebel armies to form the Rebel Army Alliance. Under the guidance of the military advisers sent by the Qinghe Army, most of the rebel armies have completed their reorganization.
Now, including the three field legions of the Qinghe Army, the Rebel Army Alliance has 23 legions under its jurisdiction.
The combat effectiveness and military strength of these legions are not the same, but they are also a powerful force that can counter the imperial court or the rebels.
?Struggling for world hegemony is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If Chen Ziang and the others don't maintain an offensive posture, other forces will seize more territory.
The more territories seized, the more resources including population will be obtained, and the power will be stronger.
Under the ebb and flow of each other, the gap in strength between each other will continue to widen. The Qinghe Army has already participated in this game of competing in the world, so they cannot be allowed to shrink back.
If they waste time now, once other forces gain an advantage, a siphon effect will be formed, and all kinds of talents will defect to powerful forces, then they will be in a very difficult situation at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziang always has a sense of crisis and urgency, knowing that time waits for no one.
?In particular, the intelligence showed that the rebel army had a tendency to be unable to hold on under the attack of the imperial court and the wolf cavalry.
Therefore, their Qinghe army must mobilize and prepare for war in advance to deal with the upcoming new situation.
At that time, whether it is to seize the central area of ??the Far Eastern Dynasty or adopt a defensive policy, they will need a strong army to back them up.
Chen Ziang inspected the drills of the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, and further entrusted Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, to step up the training and distribute all equipment as soon as possible.
Li Qiye is not only the chief of military affairs, but also the chief of staff. He also knows the changes in the world situation, so he can feel the strong sense of crisis and dare not neglect.
After Chen Ziang inspected the training equipment of the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, he traveled eastward another 20 miles and arrived at a forest.
On the outskirts of the forest, there are a large number of guards and banners headquartered directly under the guard of rangers and sentries, making this place heavily guarded.
Even though Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, has a high position and authority, he has never been here because he has no authority.
Now that Chen Ziang brought him here, Li Qiye was quite curious, not knowing what secrets were hidden inside.
Chen Ziang took out a token from his bosom. The token was engraved with the word "one" and nothing else.
"Meet the handsome!"
After seeing the badge that Chen Ziang took out, all the soldiers guarding here stood up and saluted in unison.
These people belong to the troops directly under the Guards Banner Regiment, and they are all recruited separately from one area.
After being recruited, they also undergo individual training, and then they are stationed here to carry out guard work.
When they saw Chen Ziang and his party, they knew they were high-ranking officials of the Qinghe Army, but they didn't expect Chen Ziang to come in person.
After Chen Zi'ang showed his token, he entered the forest with Li Changqing, head of the Guard Banner, and Li Qiye, chief of staff.
There are traps and traps everywhere in the forest. Under the guidance of an officer guarding here, Chen Ziang and the others were able to reach the interior.
However, there were no construction facilities on the forest floor, so Chen Ziang and the others arrived at a big tree.
The leading officer walked up to the big tree, pulled the rope, and a bell rang in the cave under Chen Ziang's feet.
Several soldiers guarding the entrance opened the door of the cave entrance, revealing the dark cave entrance.
Seeing this scene, Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, also opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect this secret facility to be underground.
"Let's go."
Under Chen Ziang's guidance, Li Qiye and others followed Chen Ziang into the entrance and down the steps.
There are candle lights on the rock walls on both sides of the cave. There are many branches and forks in the cave.
When Li Qiye was dizzy, they arrived at a wide underground hall.
In this wide hall, hundreds of people wearing Qinghe army uniforms are busy.
When a person in charge saw Chen Ziang and the others arriving, he trotted over to salute.
"Marshal, this is Ma Jin, the person in charge here."
Du Jian, director of the Military Intelligence Department, pointed to this capable steward and introduced.
Chen Ziang nodded, looked around, and saw that the spacious underground hall was neat and orderly, and although it was deep underground, it did not feel stuffy. He knew that there must be a secret vent, and Ma Jin contributed a lot.
"I heard that you have developed some new gadgets, I'll come and have a look." Chen Ziang said.
"Marshal, my lords, this way please."
Ma Jin is also a straightforward person, without the slightest nonsense, he made a request.
They soon arrived at a slightly smaller hall next to it, which looked like an underground testing ground.
There were many thick wooden boards erected on the open space not far away. Under Ma Jin's order, someone pushed a cabinet and something like it out.
"What's this?"
Seeing that Ma Jin sent someone to push out a cabinet, Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, was also full of doubts.
"This is our newly developed weapon." Ma Jin replied.
"This cabinet is a weapon?"
Li Qiye pointed at the cabinet, also full of doubts.
Ma Jin didn't explain too much, and directly opened the two doors of the devil, revealing the situation inside.
The inside of the cabinet is densely packed in the shape of a hornet's nest, and countless arrows glowing with cold light are installed inside.
"Commander, this is our newly developed crossbow, which can fire 150 arrows at a time."
"What, one hundred and fifty arrows can be fired at one time?"
Seeing the densely packed arrows in the cabinet, Li Qiye's expression also changed.
If this thing is applied to the battlefield, wouldn't it directly replace the archers and become an invincible existence?
"You demonstrate, let me see the lethality."
These are the ideas provided by Chen Ziang to them. Seeing that they have made it, Chen Ziang is also very happy, and can't wait to see the killing effect.
After Ma Jin responded, he walked straight to the side, and he pressed the trigger forcefully.
Only a buzzing sound was heard, and all one hundred and fifty arrows shot out, and then pierced through the wooden target set up in the distance.
Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, walked up to the thick wooden plank, and saw that every arrow hit three points in the wood.
"Commander, as long as we have one hundred such arrow cabinets, then we won't be afraid of the cavalry of the Northern Army." Li Qiye said excitedly.
"Master Chief, with our current capabilities, it is easy to manufacture a hundred arrow cabinets, but the difficulty lies in arrows and maintenance." Ma Jin, the person in charge, explained.
"In order to ensure the range and lethality, and to ensure the service life, these arrows are specially made, and cannot be used in common with other crossbow arrows."
"And as you have seen, one hundred and fifty arrows are needed for one shot. If it is really going on the battlefield, one hundred such arrow cabinets will consume 15,000 arrows at a time."
After Li Qiye heard this, he also calmed down, and realized that equipping this arrow cabinet on a large scale would be a great test for logistics.
Once the continuous supply of arrows cannot be guaranteed, then the arrow cabinet is just a decoration.
"Moreover, the spring inside the arrow cabinet needs to be replaced after about ten uses. If it continues to be used, the lethality of the arrow cannot be guaranteed."
Although the arrow cabinet is powerful, its flaws are equally obvious, but being able to fiddle with this thing can be regarded as a great help for the Qinghe army.
"How many have been produced now?" Chen Ziang asked.
"Reporting to the commander, there are only five."
"You also hurry up to produce, especially the supply of arrows. In the future, each field army will have at least ten of these arrow cabinets, and the surplus will be allocated to the front-line prefectures, and can also be used to defend the city."
