After sending the drunken unconscious Tartar envoy and his equally drunk entourage into the room, the smile on Hao Jian's face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a dignified look.

He never thought that this time the Tartar would have the red-clothed cannon as a big killing weapon, although the news has not been confirmed yet, but he can be sure that eight or nine are not far from ten.

Damn, isn't this a pit for Lao Tzu? I thought that there was a system that could accumulate strength in this world, and after it became stronger, it could sweep all directions, but you suddenly gave me a red-coated cannon, how can I play with this?

As a modern soul, Hao Jian would not be so naïve as to think that the elite heavy cavalry could be tough against the artillery.

No matter how crude the red-coated cannon is, it is still a hot weapon, and it is a cross-era gap with the heavy cavalry, the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.

Even thousands of heavy cavalry would have been bombarded to slag in front of dozens of red-coated cannons.

And thinking that if others had red-clothed cannons, they would only have those ancient trebuchets, crash cars and other old antiques in their hands in the future, Hao Jian trembled in his heart.

What did you say? Make your own? Please, big brother, that's a red-coated cannon, that's not a slingshot for children to play with!

Hao Jian is not an engineering student such as a master's degree or a doctor in science and engineering, he is a pure liberal arts student, he doesn't even know the ratio of gunpowder, let alone any knowledge and skills such as steelmaking, it can be said that he doesn't know anything at all, if there is no system, he doesn't think on the road of hegemony, and directly finds a stable place to live a small life.

You said that you can grab the tartars, you can get craftsmen, and you can too.

Big brother, the craftsmen who made the red-coated cannons in this era are all baby bumps, and all forces are also tightly guarded.

No matter how bad the Tartars are, they are still a country, what do they do to compete with others? And if the red-clothed cannon is unveiled under Datong City this time, Daming will definitely look at those craftsmen strictly.

Taking a step back, even if there are craftsmen, where do the materials come from? Hao Jian can't conjure these things empty-handed.

Even if it is made, it may not be guaranteed to be more advanced than the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty, so how can you suppress others?

The more Hao Jian thought about it, the more frustrated he became, so he asked everyone to retreat, and he hid in the study in a fit of rage, letting Bai Mu guard outside and not letting anyone in.

"I said, don't you shout the way of balance every day, you want to balance reality, why do you give the whole red-coat cannon, how can you let me play in the future? You're just going to kill me. After Hao Jian closed the door, he began to lose his temper at the system in a hurry, and even brought out the dialect of his hometown, which showed his depression.

"Calm down, Lord, the way of balance is one of the core principles of this system, and this will not change. Every powerful tool of war that appears in this world will be balanced by this system. It's just how to balance, which requires the lord to continue to be strong and upgraded, and then he can continue to open more functions of the system. It can only be said that the strength of this system is based on the strength of the lord itself, and the stronger you are, the stronger the system will be, and there will never be such a thing as an imbalance between the power of the system and the external forces. ”

After a moment, the strange system voice said such unclear words and then fell silent again, no matter how much Hao Jian asked.

Hao Jian thought about the system's words, and slowly calmed down.

The meaning of the system seems to be to tell itself that there will also be weapons or troops that can counterbalance the red-coated cannon in the later stage, so what is it?

Of course, there are many weapons that can compete with artillery in later generations, such as airplanes, missiles, and all kinds of artillery. But the system also says that there will be checks and balances, and it is absolutely impossible for these modern weapons to appear.

So the only possibility is that artillery can also be made in the system, and it is also an artillery that can compete with or even suppress the redcoat cannon?

The more you think about it, the more likely it is that the system will not bring itself to fight the enemy's artillery with a group of cavalry wielding sabers for no reason.

Thinking like this, Hao Jian's heart became determined, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

What you have to do is to make yourself stronger, the higher the lord level, the more system functions you can unlock, and there will be a lot of things that are not in the original game after listening to the meaning of the system.

That's really exciting.

After thinking about it, Hao Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted outside, "Please come here." ”

Bai Mu outside the door answered and took the order.

It didn't take long for Liu Ji to arrive.

After Hao Jian told Liu Ji the news he got from the Tartar envoy, Liu Ji's face suddenly became solemn.

"General, if the Tartars really have a red-coated cannon, then Datong City is in danger." Liu Ji said in a heavy tone.

"That's right, no matter how thick the walls are, they can't withstand the bombardment of artillery, this thing is known as the god of war." Hao Jian nodded.

"God of War? Does the general pay too much attention to the power of artillery, this thing is okay to attack the city, but it is too cumbersome in the field, take the Tartar as an example, good at riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, in the field when the Ming army is not an opponent at all, and the red-coated cannon is not very useful. However, when defending the city, it can be of great use. Liu Ji chewed on Hao Jian's words and raised his doubts.

Hao Jian knew that although Liu Ji was a strange person and erudite and wise, after all, he was limited by the times and did not realize how significant artillery was to the history of human warfare.

However, he does not plan to popularize the theory of modern warfare to Liu Ji now, because he said that Liu Ji may not necessarily understand that everything must be tested in the war, and I believe that he will gradually change his understanding in the future.

"Strategist, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that now that we know the news, what do we do about it? In short, you can't watch the Tartars capture Datong with red-coated cannons. Hao Jian continued to return to the topic.

"Yes, we can't sit idly by, we must inform the Datong defenders of this matter, let them take precautions as soon as possible, at least have a psychological preparation." Liu Ji also nodded.

"But if we send someone to say it, will the Datong defenders believe us? After all, there has never been an intersection, and there have been conflicts between us and the official army in Heiniu Mountain, and it would be counterproductive for us to say that we would be treated as a Tartar spy to spread rumors. Hao Jian asked the question.

"The general is extremely worried that there must be a suitable person to go in the right capacity, so that the Datong defenders will believe that this news is true." Liu Ji said with a deep groan.

"Then according to the military advisor, who is the right person for this?"

Liu Ji's eyes lit up after pondering for a while, obviously he was shocked to have an answer, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "There is really a suitable candidate in front of me, it is very suitable to have her come forward, and the Datong defenders will also believe this source of information." “

Hao Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Ji's face, and immediately understood the candidate Liu Ji said.

"You mean Bai Jinxiu?"

"Yes, it's the White Girl. In our entire gourd valley, there is no more suitable candidate than the white girl. Her identity as a disciple of the White Cloud Sect is very suitable, even if she goes to Datong City, as long as her identity is revealed, the prefect of Datong will not dare to slack off. After all, Baiyun Sect is such a transcendent and powerful force, even the royal families of all countries are afraid of it, and no official is willing to offend them. Moreover, the purpose of the White Cloud Sect has always been to love all people, so it is also in line with their style to overhear this news and remind them. ”

Liu Ji stroked his beard and analyzed.

Hao Jian really doesn't know much about Baiyun Sect, all the news about Baiyun Sect was popularized by Liu Ji to him, listening to what Liu Ji said so surely, he also believed that Bai Jinxiu was indeed a suitable candidate.

"But this matter still needs her own consent, after all, she is also a woman, and there are risks in this matter." Hao Jian groaned for a moment and then said in a deep voice.

"This requires you to come forward, general, you have saved the white girl a few times, as long as the general speaks, the white girl should not be allowed. And the white girl seems to be cold and arrogant, but she is actually a kind and compassionate person. The general must have seen this, hehe......"

Liu Ji looked at Hao Jian with a look of understanding, stroking his beard and smiling very ambiguously, Hao Jian really wanted to take his beard down to see if he would laugh in the future.

Although he was reluctant to deal with Bai Jinxiu's girl, he still nodded and said: "The Buddha said, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, who else can deal with this female tyrannosaurus." ”

"General, what is a female tyrannosaurus?" Liu Ji is thirsty for knowledge, and he is always interested in the fresh terms that often pop up in Hao Jian's mouth.

"Female tyrannosaurus rex, is a very terrifying creature, the appearance is no different from humans, but it has a powerful lethality, not only can cause great damage to people's bodies, but also can destroy people's will and spirit, make people ruin, psychological distortion, loss of confidence in life, loss of expectations for love, and even serious enough to change people's orientation, since then there is no love for the red face, but love for the eyebrows, it can be said that it is simply the most terrible creature in the world. So military advisor, remember, cherish life, stay away from female tyrannosaurus. ”

Hao Jian was serious and bitter nonsense, and finally patted Liu Ji on the shoulder.

Liu Ji was stunned, and after a while, he realized that he had been fooled by Hao Jian's serious nonsense again, and said with a wry smile: "General, you are making fun of it again, the white girl is such a beauty, how can you say such a terrible thing, the general is really joking." ”

Hao Jian laughed, and his mood suddenly became much more relaxed. Choreographing some Bai Jinxiu's girl is actually a relaxing thing, and by the way, you can also tease Liu Ji, the old fox, why not?
