"Harvest season!" Putting the red wine glass in his hand on the table, looking at the golden wheat waves in the distance, the corners of Sun Lin's mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "It is worthy of being a Nat Plain whose fertility can be compared with the plains of the New Delhi Peninsula, according to the current trend, this year's Nat Plain is estimated to be another bumper harvest." ”

The time has gradually come to October of the 7th year of the new calendar, as Sun Lin, who led hundreds of thousands of troops to finally destroy the Ottoman Empire located in the southeast region of the Central Continent, in the Great Empire that the sun never sets is now from the territory of the Ottoman Empire, the problem of the 4 Ottoman territories that have evolved into the initial treatment, and then the main problem is thrown to the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, 3 army generals who never set the sun: Henry, George and Andrel led the remaining nearly 200,000 sunset marching troops to the handover between the former Ottoman Empire and the United Kingdom of Helgen, and at the foot of the cavalry, several border towns and wooden forts were garrisoned, and the baggage transported from the Yatdaran Mountains was guarded and rested here, while Sun Lin himself returned to the imperial city of the original Dick Empire for a period of nearly two months after putting down everything at hand.

Due to the previous Ottoman military minister Hill's livestock Jedi, Sun Lin had to temporarily slow down the capture of the Ottoman imperial city, so that Sun Lin promised his fiancée Yue'er to "go back after dealing with the affairs of the Western Continent as soon as possible" The matter was broken by Sun Lin, but what made Sun Lin happy was that although his fiancée was a little sad, she did not lose her temper. He even wrote a letter to Sun Lin to encourage Sun Lin to include the northwest region of the Central Continent into the empire's territory as soon as possible, so as to complete the two-sided encirclement of the Western Regions of the Central Continent. Of course, this made Sun Lin feel a lot of guilt in his heart, but after all, the situation in the territory of the outward expansion of the sun does not set now has not completely tilted towards the side of the sun that does not set, so Sun Lin also knows that now is not the time to talk about the love of children.

With the news of the successful development of the early siege cannon received 3 months ago, Sun Lin also received melee combat on the development of siege artillery in the two months that Sun Lin rested: under the vigorous research of the Sunset Craftsman and Mo Forging Craftsman, the current Quartermaster Department of the Sunset Empire, the only factory that can produce artillery, can now produce ordinary versions of siege guns and heavy siege guns, of course, because of technical problems, so the current two types of artillery are also stationary artillery, The difference between the two guns is that the ordinary siege gun will be more than two-thirds of the power of the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet, and because of the relatively small barrel, although this kind of gun must be fixed before it can be fired (the power prevents the barrel from flying backwards due to the strong reaction force after the cannon is fired, and the engineers must tie these barrels to the stone blocks that make the grooves of their friends with hemp rope to fix them), but they can quickly disassemble the barrel and lower it to the wagon during the war, and then change positions.

The heavy siege gun can be said to be a copy of the early experimental siege artillery, because the early sun never sets when the craftsmen cast the barrel always hoped to increase the power of the cannon with a thicker and larger barrel and reduce the cannon bore (although this theory was overturned by the master Mo Forging who was disfigured by the cannon bore not long after it appeared), and with the successful development of the ordinary siege gun, this heavy siege gun was developed almost at the same time, after all, this product only magnified the ordinary siege gun by 3 or 4 times in size, And the power is also 2 times greater, in addition to the mobility of the heavy siege gun before, it is not so much that it has mobility to say that it has no mobility at all, because the heavy siege gun is currently only able to pull the Kodo beast, and let a Kodo beast appear on the battlefield is not intended to send meat targets to other people's war machines, so under normal circumstances, when the heavy siege gun is fixed on the battlefield, it is impossible to have the opportunity to disassemble it and adjust the shooting angle before the battle is over.

"The artillery weapons of the Marine Corps are currently upgraded to this level is enough, it can be slowed down, and the same is true for the development of hand cannons, but the Quartermaster Department must vigorously develop the artillery used in naval warfare, only in this way can we have an advantage in the future war in the Inland Sea, as for the cannonballs and chain shell..........s used in naval warfare, as long as those craftsmen study the principle, it will be more troublesome......... It seems that the development of the flowering shell must be slowed down and the craftsmen will study the shotgun, but can such a useful shell really be studied in recent years? Putting down the battle report in his hand, Sun Lin muttered to himself with a distressed face.

As Sun Lin said, if the development of thermal weapons is not accelerated, it is useless to take out this weapon even if the sun never sets on the empire, because no one can know better than Sun Lin the embarrassment of early artillery and muskets: in fact, the accuracy of early artillery is completely equivalent to making artillery blind, after all, the production process of early artillery is impossible to compare with the modern artillery theory of the original world; The same earliest musket, that is, the most powerful thing about the hand cannon is not that it can make the ammunition penetrate the armor of the enemy soldier like a papier-mâché, but the frightening of the enemy soldiers by the huge roar, which is the most terrifying thing about the early musket, in addition to the advancement of the hand cannon - the arquebus can't even compare with the longbow in terms of effective distance, so it goes without saying the shooting distance of the hand cannon, and the hit rate of the hand cannon is like the shotgun of later generations is only effective at close range; If you kill an enemy from a distance of about 50 meters, a hand artillery that can hit one enemy soldier in 10 rounds is estimated to be a marksman among soldiers who control the hand cannon.

Therefore, according to Sun Lin's words, instead of making me believe in those sunset hand artillerymen with iron pipes, it is better to believe in those sunset militiamen with pulley crossbows, at least these militiamen can shoot crossbow arrows into the enemy's body, but those hand artillerymen cannot.

"Your Majesty! Urgent report in the direction of Helgen! Just when Sun Lin was thinking about whether he should let the treasury spend more on his side to see if he could trick some dwarven craftsmen from the Angry Stone Dwarf Kingdom in the Southwest Continent to come over and let them work for the Quartermaster Department to develop thermal weapons, Leo entered the door with a happy face and said to Sun Lin: "Your Majesty! The Dark Dynasty led the army of underground creatures to break through the obstacles of Rock City and finally came to the surface realm! They've now laid siege to the Imperial City of Helgen! ”

"Really? Is there that our army of more than 400,000 has been assembled? ”

"All ready, Your Majesty!"

"Very good, since the Dark Dynasty has come out to show off its body, let's also come out to show off our muscles."
