Song Jiang was recruited by the imperial court and led his troops to attack Shuibo Liangshan.

Liangshan has already been empty, leaving hundreds of small minions, where can they withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops on the Song River?

Song Jiang got a credit for nothing, he was added to the rank of knight, and other bandits ordered by the Great Song Dynasty court co-opted all the heroes of the green forest, and grew stronger step by step.

……

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and today, Li Xuan's forces have occupied the entire Goryeo Peninsula.

At the beginning, he attacked Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo, and went down in a battle, which directly left the Goryeo kingdom leaderless.

In the following steps, he changed "Kaijing" to "Hanjing", established the Tang State, and began to migrate Han people from the Song Dynasty.

Today, the Han Chinese account for one-third of the total population of the Goryeo Peninsula.

Five years later, there was already civil strife in the northern Liao state.

Youwan Yan Aguta led the rise of the beast clan and beat the Liao army in tricks.

You read that right, it's the orcs.

When Li Xuan got the news, Wanyan Aguda turned out to be a green-skinned, fanged mouth, with a strength of 10,000 catties, and a "madness" skill......

Where is this still a human being, it is clearly an orc in fantasy!

Li Xuan thought that he had come to the world of "Water Margin", but the facts gave him a slap in the face.

He was too naïve to think that the world of trials was so easy to clear?

Li Xuan sent people deep into the territory of Liao, and the information he inquired about was that the orcs were not from this world at all, but from other worlds through the space channel.

Even the most ordinary orc warrior has the strength of a thousand catties. The more powerful orc leader directly reached tens of thousands of catties.

For example, after talking about Yan Agu, the strength of 50,000 catties, that is, twenty-five tons, is comparable to a second-order general.

With the local power of the Water Margin World, there is no way to stop the orc invasion at all.

Li Xuan also tried to use the god list to seal the gods on a large scale, and successively sealed Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun as the gods of the Nine Ranks, summoning their Shinto clones.

But that's it, the power of incense faith required for the gods to seal is a lot, and it takes years of accumulation.

However, Li Xuan monopolized most of the power of faith, and all of it was used to transform it into the origin of the Gate of Heavenly Dimension, and he didn't use it enough, so after a little try, he gave up the idea of sealing gods on a large scale.

With the addition of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, five Ninth Rank Gods have been enshrined in five years, and the strength they can exert is also second-order, and they can deal with those orc generals at most.

But the tens of thousands of orc soldiers can also kill a few of them with a heap of numbers.

They had no choice but to change to climbing the tech tree.

Tang State, Han Jing.

Li Xuan sat on top of the Jinluan Hall, and the ministers below were crowded.

"Zhuge Liang, can the Hanjing Iron and Steel Plant you are responsible for be put into operation now?" Li Xuan asked.

If you want to climb the tree of technology, the first thing that is indispensable is steel and coal, which are the basis of modern weapons production.

If you don't have enough steel, what do you do to build weapons? Without enough coal, what do you use to make steel?

So at the beginning of this year, when the orcs began to invade, Li Xuan put Zhuge Liang in charge of steelmaking and coal mining, and six months have passed now.

Zhuge Liang came out in line, bowed with Yu Jue in his hand, and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen first found an open-pit coal field and recruited some Goryeo laborers, which can produce about 300 tons of coal per day. Iron ore was also found, which was more difficult to mine, providing about twenty tons of iron ore per day. As for steel...... Only now have two small blast furnaces in place, which can supply about three tons of crude steel per day. ”

Three tons of steel a day, thousands of tons a year, compared with the Tang Empire, is pitiful.

You must know that the Tang Empire has been carrying out the industrial revolution for decades, and has obtained a large number of industrial equipment from the future world, several worlds provide resources, and the annual output of steel exceeds 10 billion tons!

However, although 1,000 tons of steel are very small, all of them are used to make guns, which is enough to arm an army.

Besides, the most difficult thing is to start from scratch, and only need to expand production capacity in the future, and it is estimated that in another half a year, the daily steel output of Hanjing Iron and Steel Plant will be able to double.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at Zhou Yu again and asked, "Zhou Yu, how is the preparation of the Hanjing Arsenal?" ”

The Hanjing Arsenal also began preparations at the beginning of this year, just to use it against the orcs.

Zhou Yu came out of the crowd and replied, "Your Majesty, the explosives have been made, and the rifles and cannons have also been made. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, twenty rifles can be made in a day, and ten cannons can be produced in a month. ”

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, this output was really touching.

In fact, this output is really a lot, converted into adult production capacity, that is, 7,300 rifles per year, 120 cannons, a certain Qing Hanyang Arsenal has been doing it for nearly 20 years, and the highest production capacity is like this. Later, after the death of a certain Qing Dynasty, Hanyang's military industry fell into the hands of warlords, and the production capacity soared year after year.

"What about other weapons besides rifles and cannons? For example, grenades and machine guns? Li Xuan asked.

"Your Majesty, grenades can naturally be produced, as for machine guns, Wechen did not consider production." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly.

"Why?"

"Because machine guns consume too many bullets, bullets are too difficult to produce!"

Li Xuan: "......"

With modern firearms, it is more difficult to make bullets than guns, and the truth is so cruel.

The rate of fire of a machine gun is much higher than that of a rifle, but for each enemy killed, it consumes several times more bullets than a rifle!

In terms of cost performance, it is not necessary to make machine guns now.

"Since modern firearms can't keep up, you should build some tunnel guns and expand the firearms force as much as possible." Li Xuan retreated.

Tunnel guns do not need to be breech sealed, and there is no need to even depict rifling. As for bullets, you can just use the lead ball, which is much easier to manufacture than modern firearms.

Europe was able to equip tunnel guns on a large scale in the 17th century, and breech guns were only made in the 50s of the 19th century, which shows that the scientific and technological level of the two is not at the same level.

"Tunnel guns? That's easy, I'll arrange it. Zhou Yu also agreed very simply.

……

North, Liao State.

Wanyan Aguta rode a tall snow wolf, followed by tens of thousands of green-skinned orcs.

In front of them, the Liao State had gathered 700,000 soldiers and horses, and it could be said that most of the Liao State's army was concentrated here.

As for the other soldiers and horses, they were stationed on the Song-Liao border, the border between Liao and Western Xia, the four capitals of Liao, and major cities, with a maximum of 500,000 people.

"Sons, this realm is the hunting ground given to us by the beast god, you can enjoy the prey to your heart's content!" Wanyan Agu waved his hand, and the army of 30,000 orcs roared in the sky, charging forward frantically.

The 10,000 men at the front were orc cavalry, riding huge wolves, both in terms of experience and speed, which surpassed ordinary horses.

"Kill!" The marshal of the Liao State did not dare to slack off, and was also busy arranging troops and deploying troops to fight.

The latest launch is trebuchet, more than 100 trebuchets are activated at the same time, smashing down stone pills, even orcs can't bear it.

After the trebuchet bombarded two rounds, a total of more than 300 orcs were killed, and at this time, the orc army had already rushed closer to the Liao army more than 100 meters.

The trebuchet was directly dumbfounded, the bed crossbow was activated, and the two of them fired a salvo with a strong bow and crossbow, killing and wounding some orcs.

"Cavalry charge!"

The Liao State was originally a nomadic people, although it has been transformed into an agricultural civilization, the cavalry and archery have still not been put down, and among the 700,000 troops here, there are as many as 200,000 cavalry!

The 200,000 Liao cavalry and the 10,000 orc wolf cavalry collided together, and the result turned out to be one-sided, and the orcs had the upper hand.

Every beast warrior has the power of a thousand catties, and the slightly stronger ones have the strength of these two or three thousand catties, where can ordinary humans fight against it?

The 10,000 wolf cavalry, as if it was a sharp arrow, directly cut through the Liao cavalry, and rushed towards the infantry in the rear.

"Kill!"

Wanyan Aguta followed closely with the remaining 20,000 beast infantry and entered the Liao army.
