Zhao Rui summoned Zhao Xiaoyi and asked her to select fifteen clever people to learn how to make ammunition, which was also the foundation laid by Zhao Rui in order to work in three shifts in the future.

"How many bullets do you estimate for the rest of the material?" Zhao Rui asked.

"It may be used for test purposes, but there are not many of them, less than 200,000 rounds!" Li Gong said with an estimate.

Sure enough, it was not enough, and Zhao Rui put the matter of bringing copper back to the schedule.

The melting point of copper is more than 1,000 degrees, and it is not very difficult to smelt, but Zhao Rui is still ready to stabilize for a while before launching the smelting equipment.

Zhao Rui drove the carriage out of the side yard, and now the ammunition production is guaranteed, so the ammunition in the carriage can also go to Dabaocheng to equip the soldiers, so as not to encounter a large number of Jiaozhi troops who cannot fight.

The voice of Li Gongxun kept coming out of the side courtyard, although the group of people Zhao Rui was looking for was dexterous in ancient times, but for modern people, the scientific foundation is too poor, and they don't know where to go, which really makes Li Gongqi not light.

However, there are only these people, and even if Li Gong is dissatisfied, he has to teach them hand in hand.

Zhao Rui drove towards Dabao City, and there were people on the road who greeted him warmly, and even many young and middle-aged people wanted to join Zhao Rui's army.

Zhao Rui sent them away on the grounds of increasing recruitment next year, after all, there was not enough food, and Zhao Rui had to wait for the first season of grain harvest.

Zhao Rui entered Dabao City and went directly to the West City Tower, Zhao Gong, Aruna and Fang Hongbin all came to visit.

Zhao Rui pointed to the military camp in the distance and asked, "What's the matter, the Jiaozhi people are camping under our noses?" ”

Speaking of this, Arjuna said angrily: "Yes, I have long wanted to lead someone to destroy them, but Zhao Gong has been stopping me, saying that I will wait until you come!" ”

Zhao Gong shook his head, and said solemnly: "It's not that simple, this place of Jiaozhi candidates is not simple, first of all, it is outside the range of our muskets, and secondly, it is condescending, when the bow and arrow are thrown, our side will be damaged, and more importantly, they are guarding the mountain pass, we can't see anything on the other side, in case there are boulders and the like pushing down, our army will suffer heavy casualties!" ”

Zhao Rui came to the telescope to see the situation, it was exactly the same as what Zhao Gong said, it was indeed a position that could not be acted rashly.

Nodding, Zhao Rui also felt that the generals had their own personalities, Aruna was more radical, although the combat effectiveness was relatively strong, but there would definitely be a risk of attrition if the forced impact was forced, while Zhao Gong was calm and had a calm personality, with a dense mind, he could detect things that ordinary people could not see, with him, Zhao Rui could be said to have a lot less to worry about.

"I see, it's better if they don't dare to attack, let's strengthen the city defense and take the opportunity to build the city wall high and solid, that is, we will be invincible!" Fang Hongbin also expressed his opinion.

Zhao Rui was stunned, he didn't expect Fang Hongbin to say what he thought in his heart, and he had a feeling of coincidence.

"Yes, what Hongbin said makes sense, since we choose to seek development here, we must build this place as firmly as an iron bucket. Dabao City is a dangerous place in the mountains, so its location is even more important, no matter which force is difficult to break, so let's build a wall now! Hongbin, the matter of building the city wall will be left to you, you can find the local Jiaozhi people to do it, and I can produce food! ”

"Yes!" Fang Hongbin took the order.

"Arjuna is fully responsible for the defense of the city, if there is any abnormal situation, immediately notify the whole army and deploy defense, and no key points shall be missed!"

Zhao Rui's appointment made Arjuna a little helpless.

"I ...... I still prefer to lead the charge ......."

"That's why I gave you the task of city defense, just to hone your impatient temperament!"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gong again and asked him to continue to lead the training work of the whole army.

And Zhao Rui stressed to the three of them again in person: "We must take training as a major event, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime, which is derived from countless summaries and lessons, you must pay attention to it!" ”

The three of them nodded, and when they broke through Langzhou City, the army did not damage a single member on this side, which has been a good proof of this problem.

"By the way, you guys wait, I can't let the Jiaozhi people camp so blatantly!"

As Zhao Rui spoke, he ran down the city tower and went to the carriage to take down the sniper rifle***.

Fang Hongbin saw this gun for the first time, and sighed in surprise: "What kind of gun is this, it is thick and long, it looks so powerful!" ”

Many soldiers on the city wall have never seen it, and they all gathered around to see it at this time.

Zhao Rui set up *** on the city wall, looked at the scope and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, look at a fool on the other side!" ”

Arjuna snatched the telescope curiously, glanced at it and hurriedly put it down, and scolded angrily: "Indecent! ”

Fang Hongbin didn't know why, picked up the binoculars and looked at it, only to know that it turned out to be a cross-toe officer and soldier opposite, who should have come out to release water, and saw that there were many people on the opposite city tower from a distance, so he took off his pants to this side, and made many contemptuous and insulting actions.

Zhao Gong also took it and said hatefully: "If it weren't too far, I would have blown up his bird!" ”

"Be quiet, I can't hold back my laughter!"

Zhao Rui turned his head and said in reproach, and then took aim again, and his breathing slowed down at this moment.

"Hoo ......"

Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhao Rui slowly pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

A loud bang, like a small cannon, startled the crowd of onlookers.

"Hit, haha!"

Zhao Gong saw through the telescope that he was hitting the bull's-eye, and the cross-toed officer and soldier were holding their lower bodies in pain and fell to the ground, and they should have fainted in pain.

"Someone is hurt!"

"Not good! The Song people called! ”

Like frightened birds, the cochin people ran out of the camp tent one after another, and looked downhill with their probes probe.

"Where, where!"

At this time, the leader of the officers and soldiers of Jiaozhi was still hiding in the crowd and did not dare to come out, and he heard someone shouting about the cunning Song people, and ran away with a shot, so he squeezed out of the crowd with confidence, and became arrogant again.

"Bastard! Sneak attack? I'll see who is so bold ......"

Zhao Rui had already seen from the scope that this person was dressed differently and looked noble, and he didn't know what to say, so Zhao Rui directly pulled the trigger again.

"Bang!"

This time, many of the Cochins saw the flames rising from the opposite wall.

In less than a second!

"Whoosh...... Burst! ”

"Ahh The chief's head is gone! ”

"I'm covered in the blood of the chief!"

The Jiaozhi people were completely panicked, they didn't expect that the Song people's muskets could be killed accurately at such a long distance!

"Run!"

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

The corners of Zhao Rui's mouth curled, and he pulled the trigger one after another, shooting out all the remaining five or six bullets.

This time, Zhao Rui was aiming at their chest and abdomen, so the strong impact of a bullet can often penetrate the body and cause damage to the second person.

Although Zhao Rui does not have the relevant professional knowledge, his current five senses have greatly surpassed ordinary people, and the two bullets have already given him an intuitive understanding of the effects of wind speed and gravity.

So just by feeling, Zhao Rui easily managed to shoot without missing a shot, and caused more than ten kills and injuries on the opposite side.

"Wow! It's so relieved, young master! Zhao Gong held the telescope in one hand and shook it off happily with the other.

"I'll look at ......"

The telescope was snatched by Fang Hongbin, and he gasped after a glance, and then Arjuna snatched it again, also with the same surprise.

The soldiers next to him couldn't bear it anymore and asked for binoculars to look at them in turn.

"That's amazing! The king's marksmanship is like a god! ”

"Yes, we can't do it with such dead and wounded everywhere!"

"Look! The Jiaozhi people on the hill have all run away, and they don't even dare to collect the camp tent, hahaha! ”

Zhao Gong and the three generals looked at Zhao Rui with admiration, this time they really felt that Zhao Rui was not an ordinary person, and there was a huge gap between him and him.

"Okay, if you train a lot, you'll be able to do this!"

Zhao Rui said to those envious eyes, and walked down the city wall with a gun on his shoulder.

Ordering Zhao Gong to bring the map, Zhao Rui began to plan the next offensive route.

The northwest region of Jiaozhi is frequently close to Dali, and the economy is underdeveloped, and Zhao Rui has no interest in occupying it for the time being, but when he sees the coast in the southeast corner, he can't help but sigh that this is a good place.

At this time, there are no large fishing boats, and the products in the sea must be extremely rich, as long as there are some modern fishing boats, then the food problem can be solved a lot, and seafood is a high-quality source of protein, which can also improve the physical fitness of the soldiers.

The most important thing is that Zhao Rui has always had a desire to build a naval force that dominates the world in this era, and the European voyage only began at the end of the fifteenth century, so what if he started from the end of the thirteenth century now?

Coupled with the superiority of muskets, all the countries of the world are not conquered by themselves?

Therefore, Zhao Rui is ready to advance all the way to the southeast, control the coast of the East China Sea, occupy Anbang Prefecture through Anxing, and then fight Xinxing Prefecture and Nance Prefecture, so that he can reach the capital of Cochin, Shenglong City.

When the time comes, with Thang Long City, Zhao Rui will be able to slowly subdue the small cities in the Red River Delta and realize his desire to occupy a rich land.

But now I think about it easily, Shenglong is the lifeblood of the entire Cochin, and when the time comes, it will definitely be strongly resisted by the Cochin people!

Or is there too little manpower......

Zhao Rui was thinking about it, and ran over from the direction of Yongping Village on a ride of smoke and dust.

"Lord Wang, Song Yuanwai asked you to go back quickly, a large number of homeless people poured into Yongping Village!"

"Oh, outcasts? Walk! Take me to see it! ”

Zhao Rui was surprised and delighted, and stepped on the war horse and followed the cavalry.

Displaced people mean increasing the population, Zhao Rui didn't think about this problem, but this moment came too quickly, could it be that the defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty was broken?

Non-stop, Zhao Rui rode directly to the scene.

In the open space next to Song Fengyi's house, a group of ragged homeless people sat on the ground to rest, Song Fengyi and Xiaoyi were there, and a porridge shed was set up, and the three members of the Lin family were helping to distribute porridge to the homeless.

"Thank you, good man!"

"Thank you, I haven't eaten a full meal in a few days!"

"This little lady is handsome like a fairy, and she will definitely be married to a good family in the future!"

Lin Mengyao blushed with praise, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Rui who had just arrived, and Zhao Rui smiled in return.
