Valley Emperor

Zeng Ziyun looked at Li Xuan, his face changed slightly, and after a long time he said, "It's only ten paces away, if you go a little further, I'm afraid you won't be able to hit it!"

After hearing Zeng Ziyun's words, Li Xuan nodded slightly to the guards. Immediately, the guards holding muskets were reloading again, and someone moved the wooden board in front of them to a distance of about 100 meters.

This time, the guard's reloading was much more proficient, and there was no mistake again. It only took about two minutes to reload. When he raised his musket to shoot, he was obviously more attentive and aimed carefully.

Bi Target is 100 meters away. If you don't aim, you won't be able to hit it, and even if you aim, you can't hit the target.

But this time, he was obviously out of luck. With the white smoke rising from the gunshot, a bullet hole appeared on the wooden board in front of him again.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel very relieved. This hand-made gun was the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. The bird gun with great historical significance did not disappoint him.

After seeing this scene, Zeng Ziyun's face became very exciting, but he was still embarrassed and said: "Although the power of the bird gun is acceptable, it is not enough to fire. And the archer can send multiple shots in an instant, which is far stronger than the bird gun!"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "It takes years to train an archer, and for this shovel, three months is enough!"

The debate between bows and muskets is not a new topic. The European side has been arguing for so many years, but in the end, muskets completely eliminated bows and arrows.

This is not because the fire rate, power, and accuracy of the early muskets outperformed the bows and arrows, but because the cost of using the two is too much.

A musketeer only needs to find a random peasant to train for a few months, and then he will be able to pull into the battlefield, and his performance will not be too bad, barely usable.

But archers can't do without a few years of training. For example, British longbowmen have been trained since childhood, and it takes decades to accumulate thousands of longbowmen.

The price/performance ratio of the two is simply incomparable!

Facing Li Xuan's words, Zeng Ziyun raised his head and didn't bother to answer!

Li Xuan didn't care about Zeng Ziyun's reaction. Anyway, today's goal has been achieved. Presumably, after Zeng Ziyun returns, he will definitely ponder the pros and cons of bird guns again and again, and this is enough.

After being escorted back by Zeng Ziyun, Li Xuan didn't spend much time on the playground, but went to the only iron workshop on Mount Huangzhu. Well, it was also the only weapons workshop in the Tang Dynasty.

The population of the Tang Dynasty was small, so there were naturally fewer technical talents such as blacksmiths. There were only three blacksmiths at full count, and one of them was an apprentice in his teens.

In addition to making weapons, their main work on weekdays is also making farm tools and other things. Anyway, the three blacksmiths are all things related to iron.

After arriving at the weapons workshop, Li Xuan opened his mouth and started to make a wish.

Two middle-aged blacksmiths directly sealed the titles of Minister of the Ministry of Works, one was Minister of the Left and the other was Minister of the Right. The remaining apprentice was not left behind, and also received the title of Minister of the Ministry of Works.

It's a pity that these three blacksmiths who don't know big characters have no idea that they have become the highest-ranking blacksmiths in history. What really makes them happy is that Li Xuan rewarded them with a lot of rice.

This rice grain is much more practical than an official position!

After the three elated blacksmiths repeatedly stated that they would find a way to build more cannonballs as soon as possible, Li Xuancai returned to the palace with a satisfied expression.

It has been more than half a year since he came to this era, and there is usually no place for Li Xuan to show the superiority of this transmigrator.

He knows a lot of things, but there are not many that can be used in this era, especially in the Tang Dynasty.

The most important things in the Tang Dynasty today are farming and fighting.

He doesn't know anything about farming, and it's not easy to tell the difference between rice and wheat. Let him teach these bandits to farm. He's afraid of losing his way, so he can't get involved in farming and mulberry affairs at all, and he can't even compare to Liu Bagou. Stupid people do better.

He knows only limited things about the army fighting, at least he doesn't know how the cold weapon army should fight.

After much deliberation, he could only work on inventions and creations.

For today's Tang Dynasty, the most important invention is naturally the musket!

As far as the current strength of the Tang Dynasty is concerned, if there is no obvious advantage, the next time the Ming army comes to attack, the Ming army does not need to work hard, just send a general with a normal IQ to lead thousands of people into the mountains, and the Tang Dynasty will attack. If it's over, he Li Xuan will either have to escape or die.

And the arquebus and even the flintlock gun he imagined were his biggest cards against the Ming army.

It's not realistic to have a flintlock gun for a while, but it's not a problem to get the matchlock gun out. After all, the matchlock gun has no technical content. People have used it in the West for many years, and even Japanese pirates have used it for several years. .

Now that the arquebus has been made, I don't dare to say more because of the background of Huangzhu Mountain, but it took a few months to make a dozen or so, and it is not a problem.

Although the number is still not many, but at least one can get a head start. As long as you stick to it, maybe you will be able to accumulate 18,000 arquebuses in a few years. Hanging and beating the Ming army will not be a dream!

Just when Li Xuan was busy with arquebuses in the back, recruiting Zeng Ziyun and other messy things, Fang Dongquan and the others also encountered the troops of Heihu Village.

It's not right to say that. To be precise, they encountered the coalition forces of Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain.

Looking at the Black Tiger Village and the Huanggui Mountain coalition with a size of more than 300 people in front, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Fang Dongquan's face was a little unsightly: "When did they get together, didn't they say that everything is normal on Huang Guishan!"

Huang Xueren said: "Although our spies are staring at them day and night, but Huang Guishan is so big, it's normal that only one or two spies can't see it."

At this moment, Butcher Chen stepped forward and said, "They're here together, so we can save trouble. We can get them all at once, and save us having to make an extra trip!"

However, Fang Dongquan said, "There are quite a few of them, even more than us. I'm afraid this will be a little troublesome!"

"Trouble, it's the old rules later, I lead people to rush up, I don't believe they can stop it!" Butcher Chen was as arrogant as ever, and the sturdy butcher-killer temperament on his body made others shudder.

Fang Dongquan glanced at Butcher Chen, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He is the one who has the full power to supervise the thieves this time. These people are just assisting their subordinates, but now there are subordinates there, and none of them take themselves seriously.

However, after being a bandit boss for so many years, and in the Tang Dynasty, he also secretly fought with Huang Xueren for several months. Although he still does not know the characters, he has pondered a lot on his own methods of fighting.

After holding back the anger in his heart, he turned his head and asked Qian Mengjiu, "Prime Minister Qian, you are a supervisor, tell me how to fight!"

Qian Mengjiu looked around, swept the crowd one by one, and said, "I am a civil servant, and I am not good at military affairs. All I can do is to play drums for the generals!"

After saying these words, he saw that he paused, and then said with a straight face: "But this battle is about the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that all the generals will work together to defeat the bandit army, so that I can live up to the grace of Your Majesty!"
