"The 300,000 army is the limit of what we can dodun, including 60,000 cavalry, 240,000 infantry, and we have to leave 100,000 to defend the northern frontier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Mariinsky also knows that since the other side has spoken to this point, he is already ready to gamble, lose everything, and win and win, which Mariinsky also understands that everyone has no choice but to try their best to fight.

"Our Poole Kingdom can send 350,000, 100,000 cavalry, 250,000 cavalry, and our situation is the same, we also have to leave 100,000 people to defend the Robak tribe of Baiin, but this king has decided to provide our country's most elite 50,000 guards ironclad cavalry to the allies, if it is not successful, it will be a benevolent, and the victory or defeat will be decided here!" Sezerif IX also showed his decisiveness as the king of a country at this time.

"Lord Pokaninsky, we Kamans will never have descendants, 400,000 people, you also know that we have to face the most powerful Dore tribe in Baiyin, this is already our limit, hehe, I won't tell you, this battle is really lost, and the Tang Dynasty can also drive straight into our capital without any resistance." What about you Sithro?" Huasili's eyes shone brightly, as if he wanted to melt everything in front of him.

"Lord Huasili, please rest assured, since you are working so hard, we Sithrogs will naturally not be left behind! We will do our best to gather 500,000 troops, we all know what this battle means, defeat will be all destroyed, victory will make the Polybean people prosper for a hundred years, and the Sithroes will not be descended!" Pokaninsky said proudly: "Let the Tang people come to see the bravery and strength of our Liberian people, we will use our invincible ironclad cavalry and iron hooves to trample those Tang people into hell, and the Liberian soldiers will teach them a good lesson." ”

Just when Pokaninsky and his colleagues vowed to use the bravery and strength of the Liberian soldiers to defend the honor of the Liboya countries, in a large training ground thirty miles outside Yanjing City, there was a continuous sound of "bang bang bang", and the entire training ground was filled with gunsmoke, and the pungent smell of smoke made Wu Feng almost suffocate, this smell was really choking, and looking at the performance of the soldiers, they were obviously used to this smell, and they didn't even have any abnormal reactions.

The flagpole 300 meters away had already been shaken, and the galloping cavalry reported the shooting results to the commanders, and the small flag waved, and two hundred soldiers marched forward in unison, raising it flat and kneeling, and with the wave of the commander's small flag and the herald's angry shout of "Release!", there was another "bang bang bang" sound.

Although the smell is very unpleasant, Wu Feng has shown a strong interest in this kind of new weapon drills that have begun to equip troops on a small scale before actual combat, although the guards next to him have asked His Majesty the Emperor to avoid this kind of testing ground full of uncertain factors as much as possible, but Wu Feng is still unmoved, he needs to observe the actual combat ability of this new weapon, including range, power, accuracy and control.

From individual shooting to platoon shooting to serial shooting, Wu Feng is quite satisfied, it seems that the Privy Council has spent some thought on the promotion of new weapons, although the Privy Council has only ordered a total of 30,000 new weapons named after the firecracker, but the Privy Council began to recruit new recruits after receiving the first batch of goods, directly carried out actual combat training, and strived to form effective combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

Wu Feng silently figured out what he observed, this kind of firecracker is obviously very fragile, and the low defense determines that this kind of firecracker is similar to the crossbowman's surname, and the risk of active attack is very high, but it is very valuable in defense, especially this kind of firearm that fires metal projectiles can easily penetrate a fist-thick plank within 250 meters, and even the armor of heavy cavalry within 200 meters can not resist this kind of metal projectile shot advanced by gunpowder explosive force, it is said that the biggest problem is still in the shooting accuracy, and the problem of poor accuracy has been plaguing the designers of the science and technology development department, but now it seems that they have found a solution to the problem of accuracy of shooting.

The cyclic firing of multiple rows of firecrackers is undoubtedly imitating the tactics of crossbowmen, but the powerful power of firecrackers has made the Privy Council officials realize that this kind of firecrackers who use multiple groups of round-robin shots may become the terminator of the hegemons in the hoplite plains, although there are still many problems to be solved, such as the quality of firearms, dampness, etc., but this has made everyone aware of the changes that this weapon may bring to the army's battle.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Although it was not the first time to check the shooting results of the firecrackers, but this time the excellent performance of the firecrackers still made Ling Tianfang very happy, the hard work paid off, the three-stage chain shooting was done in one go, and the soldiers' skillful operation procedures also greatly improved the shooting efficiency of the firecrackers, which could also avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy.

"Very well, the progress has greatly exceeded my expectations, and to be honest, although it cannot be said to be perfect, I am quite satisfied. Wu Feng didn't want to hide his joy, this Ling Tian was always able to take a step ahead in terms of these new things, if he seemed to be inferior to Bo Jinchen in the use of strategy and tactics, then his foresight and keen surname in this regard far surpassed everyone in the army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment, this mainly depends on the solution of a series of technical problems of the Ministry of Science and Technology Development, otherwise Your Majesty would not be so optimistic about this scene. "Ling Tianfang is also not a greedy person, the formation of this new army is completely based on the continuous innovation of new technologies, otherwise it will be far from being used in actual combat.

"Well, I know this better than you, but although the new technology has been introduced, it is not a simple matter to form combat power, and you have done a good job in this regard, and you are more active and sensitive than me. Wu Feng sighed with emotion, "There is too much lack of visionary people like you in the empire, many of our officials are still indulging in old ideas, blindly holding on to old ideas, rejecting new things, thinking that in this way they can maintain the nobility and dignity of the Tang Dynasty, but the situation is the opposite, the more conservative you are, the more you will be eliminated, no matter how much I emphasize, it is still difficult to get a response." ”

Ling Tianfang couldn't intervene more in this regard, some of His Majesty's overly radical policies have caused a backlash from some conservative forces in the empire, especially the introduction of a series of industrial and commercial laws and regulations, which has aroused the opposition of the conservative forces in the empire. It has become a banner and a fortress for these conservative forces, and they continue to express their opinions through this mouthpiece, criticizing some policies of the Empire, but it should be said that they are still within the laws and regulations, which makes it difficult for the Imperial Press Prosecutor's Office to intervene too much.

Seeing that Ling Tian didn't say anything for a long time, Wu Feng also realized that his words were a little off-topic, and pulled back the topic with a self-deprecating smile: "Hmm, by the way, what problems or deficiencies are there in this fire gun now?"

"Well, now the problem of range and lethality has been basically solved with the continuous improvement of the quality of the gun tube and the improvement of the quality of gunpowder, and the biggest obstacle is the accuracy problem, but those individuals in the science and technology development department do not know that they have solved this problem by making rifling, which not only makes the accuracy greatly improved, but also improves the range and power a lot, which is the key to the real use of the firecracker in actual combat. It is said that the lethality of the latest firearm shot will exceed 350 meters, and it will have terrifying lethality within 300 meters. If rifling had not been invented, I am afraid that this kind of firearm would be used in close combat at most, but now, the minister can proudly say that as long as the minister is given some more time, the firecracker will surely become a nightmare for the proud hoplites of Liboa and the Maqihan!" Ling Tianfang said confidently.

"Oh, so powerful?" Wu Feng was also surprised, he didn't expect the development of the fire gun technology to be so fast, the range of two hundred meters is already considerable, although it is still a little closer for the cavalry charge, but it is enough for the skilled fire gun soldiers to fire a few rounds, I dare not say that they can achieve perfect results, but Wu Feng is already very satisfied, and now the new fire gun shooting power will exceed three hundred meters, a full increase of one hundred meters, that will win a few more rounds of shooting opportunities for the fire guns, for those cavalry undoubtedly double the chance of death, this will really become their nightmare。 "What are the shortcomings of the firecracker?"

"Now the shortcomings of the firearm are still too complicated to make the process, it is difficult to improve efficiency, although we have strengthened the intensity of training, but in any case, it takes so long to take a few actions, especially when it is really used on the battlefield and used in actual combat, I am afraid that the situation will be worse, so this is also our Privy Council and the Department of Science and Technology Development have been concentrating on research in the hope of finding a way to simplify the procedure. Another fatal problem is the problem of gunpowder dampness, not only the power of the gunpowder is greatly reduced on rainy days, or even negligible, but even in the south, even some humid weather will greatly reduce the power of the gunpowder, and even the phenomenon of gunpowder destroying people and killing people will occur, and the minister also entrusted the Ministry of Science and Technology Development to step up research and development on this issue and strive to make a breakthrough. Ling Tianfang was a little reluctant to say this, as if he was worried that it would damage the image of the fire gun.

"Then how many firecrackers have you trained now that are as familiar as Fang Cai?" Nodding slightly, this question is Wufeng's main concern, how many firecrackers can be used on the battlefield that is about to start a war with the Liberians, this is the core issue.
