Chapter 408: Driving People Out

As soon as the envoy left, Li Hang's side began to manufacture new bullets and firearms. Although the manufacturing cost remains high, the research of this new weapon has finally reached a new level.

The number of safe launches has increased to two hundred. The number and specifications of the bullets have finally been decided.

And the biggest benefit is the range! The effective firing range is close to more than six hundred meters. This is the biggest surprise, this is much higher than the range of those musket weapons, not to mention, even the accuracy has improved a lot, at least the error is within the range of twenty centimeters. That's already remarkable.

"As long as we can go to the open sea and start bringing a lot of goods, we can get a steady stream of benefits from them!" Li Hang said excitedly.

Nowadays, the craftsmanship of these muskets is almost the same. Now it's time to start improving the artillery.

Muskets should be rifled, and so can guns, and guns can also use large quantities of black gold, although this will greatly damage the barrel. But without the premise of reproducing rifling and creating a wide variety of artillery shells. These rifling are polished. The cannon can almost be reforged.

There's no way around it. After all, he is not in the industrial age, and it is impossible to expand the 300 mm gun to 400 mm by expanding rifling. That's the way to die.

"Now let's start experimenting with a new type of gunpowder for filling, this kind of shell itself is made into a cone-shaped shell, if only we could fill the shell with explosives!"

This cannonball is the king, and it is only destroyed by physical impact. This is not very efficient. If you can use artillery shells to blow up, you can kill at least dozens of people with one shot. That's called firepower supremacy. When the time comes, it will not be a dream to shoot a section of the city wall.

If you can make this kind of artillery, it can only fire twenty pieces, which is also valuable.

Li Hang narrowed his eyes, the focus of this kind of artillery is not actually its lethality, but its ability to defeat and disperse the enemy, at this time it is still a mixture of cold weapons and hot weapons, and it is impossible to disband the cavalry now, after all, the Iron Knight tank has not yet come out, and the cavalry must still have a place.

These cavalry can go up to harvest after scattering the enemy, as long as the enemy does not dare to stand together and form a formation against the cavalry, then there is only one result, that is, they are killed by the cavalry one by one.

At such a time, in the era of cold weapon warfare, collapse is death.

As long as there are enough cavalry, they can be pursued to the death.

That's the general trend, and even if you get lucky enough to win one or two games, it won't change that fact, because this huge tech gap is enough to break anyone.

The production of rifled guns is not very difficult, the key is ammunition. Not to mention that it has to be made into a cone-shaped bullet, the gunpowder has to be changed.

So the change was so great that half of the entire workshop was processing gunpowder.

Because now the border army is still fighting.

Of course, Li Hang's side has to supply gunpowder.

However, the situation over there is estimated to be about the same, after a great victory, although there is no way to take advantage of the victory to pursue, there is no way to attack the outside, but it is obvious that a large number of the opponent's living forces can be destroyed, and almost all of the people who died under this kind of bombardment are their elites.

In the future, there will be a big reshuffle after the grassland returns.

As for the Buddha path, this side. After entering the summer, the imperial court issued an order requiring all monks to join the army, or only to be an ordinary monk.

This paper order was about to collapse the monks in the whole country.

But now they have to start with, why? Because Li Hang gave Emperor Yingwu the steel armor and weapons they sent over, this kind of steel armor and weapons were enough to give those armies an absolute advantage, and at this time they could have a great advantage over these monks.

Coupled with the weapons and equipment that Li Hang made at this time, it was enough to challenge those bald donkeys. The newly equipped army is like a machine gunner with more than 800 bars of blood. When facing the Heavy, who only has eight bars of health on the opposite side, unless you're unlucky, you can win no matter what.

The monks are powerful, and the sticks are hard and good. But no matter how hard the steel armor is? Do you have a good steel knife again? In the face of absolute superiority, everything is a floating cloud. Floating clouds!

After the Great Winning Dynasty had destroyed the two largest temples, they fled. I learned to give up and learn to be a man with my tail between my legs.

Li Hang didn't care about this. He was more concerned about how the rebels were now.

In May, the four armies suddenly rebelled, and they rose up in Quanzhou, and went all the way north to attack Jinling City, which was the biggest thing now. But no matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with the current north. Everyone knows the strength of Jinling, not to mention that at this time there are only four armies, at most plus some families, the number will not exceed 100,000. And the number of Praetorian Guards in Jinling City alone exceeded this number. Suffice it to say, even if it doesn't count as a wall bonus. Neither of them knew who was winning or losing. What's more, there is still a huge city wall in that place, and there is also an equipment gap.

What is this gap? Very simple example. The ratio of the number of people in the siege battle is usually about four to one, so that it is possible to fight down, and at this time, the Praetorian Guard is almost all reequipped with steel equipment and weapons, which leads to a greater gap in combat effectiveness, and what is the result, I am afraid that six times the strength of the army may not be able to come down. Not to mention the artillery on the city walls. Four artillery pieces were on four walls, and most of the siege engines at this time were made of wood. Of course, attacking with a bow and arrow is mediocre, but what about after switching to this artillery?

Vulnerable.

Li Hang was very relieved. After all, there are many standing armies in places like the capital, not to mention, there are even many families. Coupled with the hoarded grain, it is almost impossible to deal with it with ordinary siege tactics.

Thinking of this, Li Hang couldn't help but take a sip of tea and started his own drawing work by himself. More research is needed on rifling.

"Li Hang, my second uncle is crazy!" Ying Yun rushed in with a shout. That frightened look was obviously telling Li Hang how serious this matter was.

"What? He can now pull up an army of 100,000 people, most of them are still militiamen, they have the ability to scare people in the field, this kind of siege war can indeed be called crazy. After all, they will certainly not be suitable for siege. ”

Ying Yun opened his mouth, and finally held back a sentence. "He's driving people into Jinling City!"

Awesome means.

This is the method of these people, and it is also the power of these people. Because if you do this, you are completely using these ordinary people as a threat.

Actually, it's useless.

This kind of ploy to drive others into the city is mostly to mix their own people into the ranks, then blend into the city, and then get a large number of weapons with the help of Neiying, and finally rely on a large number of weapons to attack a certain city gate, open the city gate, and let more than 100,000 people all press in.

But does this work?
