Chapter 253: Various Weapons
"Lord......... You are such a genius that the armies of the princes and kings are powerless against such weapons. ”
Meng Sheng sighed, the most important part of this musket is gunpowder, the power of gunpowder shocked everyone, if it is used to siege the city, dozens of catties of gunpowder can blow up a big hole in the city wall, but using gunpowder on a small musket, Meng Sheng didn't even dare to think about it.
"This musket is still very bulky, although it is very powerful, but the rate of fire is much slower than that of a repeater, and there is still a huge room for improvement, and the musket I envisioned can shoot at least hundreds of iron beads in a row."
This musket is just a prototype, Liu Yuetian is not very satisfied, of course, this musket can now be used in the army, the range is far more than the repeater, but it still needs to be used together.
Liu Yuetian was puzzled, his system could exchange for all kinds of weapons, but it was only a cold weapon, not a single hot weapon.
There is no need to doubt the strength of the system, far beyond the level of science and technology he was in before, just the invisible energy that can make pig iron a weapon is already beyond his cognitive level, if human beings master this energy in the world before him, I am afraid that the entire galaxy will become the territory of human beings, where will there be opportunities for other civilizations?
But there are only cold weapons in such a powerful system, although the cold weapons produced by the system are also extraordinary, but no matter how good the cold weapons are, they are only extraordinary in materials, if Liu Yuetian is given enough materials and processing equipment, he can also manufacture weapons of the same quality, so compared to the scientific and technological content of the system itself, it is really inconsistent with its own science and technology to only produce cold weapons.
It's like a starship landing in front of you, only to see a group of soldiers with wooden sticks walking out of it, and the contrast is really amazing.
Of course, some of the weapons in the system are also attached to some abilities similar to spiritual attributes, which Liu Yuetian can't do, maybe it's the embodiment of the unique functions of the system, but for Liu Yuetian, only cold weapons are far from enough.
However, when it comes to the special effects brought by these weapons, it is not easy to obtain, so far only Shi Le has reached the conditions of the general, that is, the loyalty has reached sixty, the commander has reached sixty, the intelligence has reached forty, and the prestige has also reached fifty.
It can be said that even if his 2,000 cavalry did not use a repeater, but only held an iron short knife, Liang Ji's 30,000 army may not be able to withstand it, once the repeater crossbow is used, let alone Liang Ji's army, it is the most elite ironclad cavalry of Great Qin, or the tiger and leopard of Great Wei are coming, and in the same number of cases, they will only be abused.
But Chang Yuchun has not yet reached the conditions of a general, because his intelligence is only thirty-seven, a little smarter than ordinary people, in order to improve his intelligence, Liu Yuetian told him some natural sciences when he had nothing to do, of course, not only him, but also Shi Le, Fang Xuanling, Sun Shangxiang and the middle and high-level people of Tianshui, they are all the pillars of Tianshui, Liu Yuetian wants to train them to become the highest titled generals, and every attribute cannot be low.
Now more than ninety percent of the people in Tianshui are busy, Liu Yuetian is busy practicing and teaching his subordinates, Shi Le, Chang Yuchun, Fang Xuanling and others have to study in addition to their own work of training and management every day, and the people have to make unremitting efforts to realize their dreams, but although they are busy, everyone is full of motivation, because they have improved every day, and they are spent in a fulfilling life.
Five months have passed in a blink of an eye, this time it is almost the autumn harvest season, this year's river water is exceptionally calm, it is a rare year of great abundance, look along the Jinsha River, both sides of the river are golden, hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat waves rise and fall in the autumn wind, thousands of acres of fruit trees in the distance also bear fruit, fruit trees and fields have countless livestock, the people are either working happily in the field, or waving a whip to drive livestock, everyone has a satisfied look on their faces, Such a life is like heaven for them.
And farther away from Tianshui City, this was originally a large area of wasteland, but since Liu Yuetian began to sell land, the wasteland has been bought by people, after more than five months, hundreds of wooden houses have been built, thousands of people began to settle here, here has also formed a huge bazaar, every day many people come here to trade, they have their own needs, a day of trading as many as hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.
The rubber trees also cut a large amount of rubber, and Dawu bought and sold it with salt or pig iron, and these rubbers were transported back by Dawu, and soon they were made into lacquer glue, so more buildings appeared on the Yangtze River.
The grain harvest was abundant, the economy was also prosperous, and Tianshui's army also had earth-shaking changes, and the 25,000 fully armed soldiers had fully formed their combat strength, Shi Le commanded 7,000 cavalry, Chang Yuchun commanded 15,000 infantry, and there were 500 female soldiers led by Sun Shangxiang.
Despite the fact that there were only 500 female soldiers, they were equipped with the most advanced weapons in Tianshui - muskets.
The musket team of 500 people is a group of 100 people, and five groups take turns to shoot when attacking, and the first group can be reloaded again after a round down, and then enter the second round of shooting, and the cycle is repeated until the ammunition is exhausted, so to speak, when the musket team attacks, there is absolutely no one who can live within 70 zhang in front, and the heavy cavalry within 50 zhang will also die, and the armor on Liu Yuetian's body within 10 zhang will also be beaten into a sieve, if the attack power is concerned, it is comparable to 2,000 crossbow troops.
It's just that the manufacture of muskets is a bit cumbersome, in five months, Meng Shengyinlong with more than a hundred blacksmiths will make five hundred, Liu Yuetian has now begun to develop a larger thermal weapon artillery, and the first artillery has also been successfully built, a cannon can hit a hundred catties of iron balls out of a hundred zhang distance, it is definitely a weapon for siege, even the strongest city wall can not withstand the continuous attack of artillery.
There are also catapult troops left, using the principle of levers to throw dozens of pounds of stones to a hundred zhang away, although the power is not as powerful as artillery, but it is better to manufacture, a total of twenty have been built in five months, just imagine, when the enemy defends the city and finds that dozens of pounds of stones fall like rain, what will they be? Dead!
