Chapter 180: Firearms Unit
"Projection!" Zhang Beichen ordered someone to light the fire bomb and shoot it out, and the target was a pile of scarecrows.
When the fuse ignites the gunpowder, the firebomb just explodes, making a "boom" that blows the scarecrow away.
Han Mengshu was surprised: "This gunpowder is still so wonderful? Mighty crossbows no less powerful than ours! ”
Several alchemists were also surprised, they only knew how to use these things to start fires, but they didn't know that these igniters could be mixed together and made into weapons!
Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "This is just the most basic fire bomb, and the power is very small. If the shell is wrapped in iron or copper, and some broken iron pieces are mixed inside, it is even more powerful! The effect can even reach the blow of the powerhouse of the Nine Realms! ”
"Nine Realms?" When Han Mengshu heard his words, his eyes lit up, "Can you really reach the power of a Nine Realm powerhouse?" ”
Of course, she knew the strength of the powerhouses of the Nine Realms, and in the simulated place, in the rare cases of the Holy Realm in the world, the powerhouses of the Nine Realms were the decisive force on the battlefield.
If these fire bombs alone can reach the power of the Nine Realms powerhouse's spells, and there are dozens or hundreds, wouldn't it be able to crush the opponent?
"Of course!" Zhang Beichen estimated that with the current level of craftsmanship in South Korea, it can probably make cannons.
"That's great, such a divine weapon, if it can equip the whole army, then our Korean army will not be weaker than the army of any country!" Han Mengshu said happily.
"The minister plans to start production now, in order to hide people's eyes, please set up a special place for the king, in the name of alchemy, but in fact, make firearms." Zhang Beichen said.
Only then did Han Mengshu understand why he summoned Fang Shi to cover up his true purpose of making firearms and prevent him from being discovered by spies from other countries.
[You issued a decree to gather a large number of people and soldiers to build the 'Danhua Palace' in the area far from the capital, and the external name is to refine the elixir. In the Danhua Palace, a large number of alchemists have been settled, and a large number of alchemy materials are sent to the Danhua Palace every day. 】
……
At this time, the queens of other countries have already found out that Zhang Beichen is serving in South Korea.
In this case, South Korea is their biggest threat in this game!
So the queens of various countries sent spies to South Korea to find out what Zhang Beichen was doing.
"Alchemy? Han Mengshu and Zhang Beichen built a Danhua Palace and summoned a large number of alchemists? "Qin State, Ying Yin people were puzzled when they heard the news.
"Didn't Beichen-kun never think about this? Why do you want alchemy in this game? Ying Yin thought about it, "Could it be because the widows blocked the way for Korea to march into Bashu, and Wei and Zhao suppressed Korea, so he is ready to find another way, refine a large number of pills, improve the cultivation of the Korean army, and use this way to achieve victory?" ”
It's not impossible, after all, in many simulations, there are many hostile forces that use secret methods to improve the cultivation of soldiers and build a strong army in a short period of time!
……
"Does Beichen-kun want alchemy?" When Wei Yao heard the news, he immediately ordered: "Send all those elixirs in this palace to Zhang Beichen, and send any powerful monks over as well." ”
She thinks this might be a way to brush up on favorability.
As for the alchemy power, she has no fear at all, the Wei country is strong, and it only takes a few years to be able to wield South Korea, first brush up Zhang Beichen's favorability, and then destroy South Korea, without delay.
……
"Zhang Qing is definitely not a simple alchemy!" Zhao Yun is familiar with Zhang Beichen's style of doing things, but she can't imagine what Zhang Beichen can do when he builds a Danhua Palace?
Can a small Danhwa Palace still make South Korea strong?
"No matter, since Zhang Qing is in South Korea in this game, just in case, we must defeat South Korea as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident!" Zhao Yun thought to herself.
……
At this time, Yan Qingwu and King Qi didn't care about what happened in Korea, they were still dealing with the domestic mess.
And in the country of Chu, the king of Chu didn't care what other people were doing, she still used simulated time and space to practice.
With each simulation, her cultivation became higher and higher, and she even had the opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm before the dragon vein seal was lifted!
……
In South Korea, in Danhwa Palace, a firearms factory has been built here.
The alchemists were responsible for dispensing the gunpowder, and the craftsmen forged the guns, shells, and cannons according to Zhang Beichen's instructions.
Although Zhang Beichen knew the principle of these things, it was not easy to make a mature weapon, and he made the first batch of weapons after repeated experiments.
Han Mengshu held the fire gun, aimed at the standard, and shot out, hitting the target, but not hitting the bull's-eye.
"With the strength of the widow, it is impossible not to shoot crookedly, and the stability of this firearm is not as good as that of a bow and crossbow." Han Mengshu commented.
Zhang Beichen could only admit and said: "At present, our process can only make this level of firecracker, and the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy." One-on-one it is not strong, and it needs to shoot in large numbers to be useful. ”
"Your Majesty, we can form a firearm cavalry, and with the mobility of the cavalry, there will be unexpected miraculous effects!"
"According to your word." Han Mengshu naturally agreed.
In addition to the firearms team, Zhang Beichen of the fireball and artillery unit was also arranged, and these firearms were being produced day and night in the Danhua Palace.
……
[Three years later.] 】
The countries have basically stabilized the situation at home and are ready to start sending troops to conquer.
But this time, the queens' minds were not on the surrounding small countries, but on South Korea.
"The surrounding effects can be extinguished sooner or later, so it's better to hit South Korea first." Wei Yao thought to herself, she sent letters of state to King Qin and King Zhao, and united them to attack Korea.
Wei Yao knew that if he went to fight South Korea, these two countries would definitely send troops and prepare to pick up leaks in the back, so it was better to unite them directly.
……
"Hit South Korea first?" Ying Yin people received the credentials and chose to agree.
[You appointed Ying Meng as the general, Bai Jiayi as the deputy general, led 80,000 troops, and went to South Korea. 】
At this time, the population of Qin was not large enough, and 80,000 soldiers were already the majority of the Yingyin people.
……
Zhao Yun's side also decided to join Wei Guo.
[You sent Xinnan to lead 100,000 troops, follow the Wei army, and attack Korea. 】
……
Han Mengshu quickly got the news.
[The king of Wei sent Pang Mingming, a general, with 200,000 troops, and 80,000 Qin and 100,000 Zhao troops to attack Korea from three directions. 】
"Zhang Qing, look, they all bully widows!" Han Mengshu complained to Zhang Beichen, "Now South Korea, even if the whole country recruits troops, it can only recruit 300,000 troops, these three countries are all elite troops, Zhang Qing, do you have a strategy to retreat?" ”
Zhang Beichen observed the intelligence, and he noticed that among the three armies, the Wei army was the fastest, followed by the Zhao state, and the slowest was the Qin army.
Although the three countries are ostensibly allied, they actually have their own thoughts.
For the Yingyin people, South Korea already has a certain strength, and with Zhang Beichen here, there must be some secret weapon.
If the Qin army goes too fast and encounters the main force of the Han army, it will suffer heavy losses, and not only will it not get a bargain at that time, but it will be picked up by Wei and Zhao.
So she estimated that Yingmeng would march slowly, and let Zhao and Wei take the lead.
Similarly, Zhao Yun also thinks the same way. Obviously, Zhao State borders South Korea, and the Zhao army just grinds and chirps, and does not attack on the border.
……
"These two guys are waiting for this king to take the lead!" Wei Yao also knew Ying Yin and Zhao Yun's thoughts, but she was not afraid at all.
"At this time, my Wei army is the strongest in the world. No matter how powerful Zhang Beichen is, in just a few years, can he still refine the elixir and ascend? ”
Wei Yao ordered Pang Ming to speed up the march and take the initiative to attack.
200,000 Wei troops have come to the border of Korea.
And in this border city, there are only 30,000 defenders.
"Surrender quickly, lest you lose your life in vain!" Pang Ming shouted at the city guard.
The guard said: "We are Koreans in life and Korean ghosts in death, and it is absolutely impossible to surrender!" ”
"In that case, then you should go and be ghosts!" Pang Ming waved his hand, "Give Ben the general to attack the city!" ”
"Siege!" The drums of war sounded, and the Wei army began to attack the city.
The siege engines advanced towards the city walls, followed by arrows and army formations.
"Shoot the arrows!" The defender had people defend with bows and crossbows, and sure enough, they temporarily repelled the enemy troops.
"Formation!" Pang Ming didn't panic at all, let the soldiers form a shield array, and the spiritual power formed a barrier, blocking all those bows and arrows, only large crossbow arrows could barely pass through the shield array, but the enemy army attacked in this way was limited, and it was completely impossible to block the enemy's offensive.
Seeing that a large number of enemy troops were about to kill the city wall, the defender gritted his teeth, and now he could only hope that the prime minister's new weapon would be useful.
"Artillery ready, aim at enemy siege vehicles, fire!"
On the city wall, a large copper-cased bullet was stuffed into the barrel of a cannon and then ignited.
Pang Ming had noticed this thing a long time ago, but he couldn't think of the use of this thing, if it was a bow and crossbow, the shape was too strange.
He knew that it must be a weapon, but with one weapon it could change the tide of battle? It's simply impossible!
However, in the next second, he showed a shocked expression.
As the cannon fired, a shell landed on the siege vehicle with precision.
"Boom!" There was a deafening loud bang, accompanied by the explosion of the cannonballs, the siege vehicle and dozens of soldiers on it were directly blown up, and the shield wall could not block the power of the cannons!
"What is this, so terrifying!" Pang Ming was shocked.
Not to mention him, even the other soldiers were frightened and did not dare to advance.
"Continue to attack the city, no retreat!" Pang Ming shouted, continuing to command.
"I'm going to destroy it!" He knew that he had to break that strange weapon quickly, otherwise this siege would end in nothing!
Pang Ming jumped to his feet and led several elites to the head of the city, trying to destroy the cannon.
However, the South Korean army had already set up defenses.
Countless crossbow arrows attacked, and there was an elite squad formed to fight against it, Pang Ming was not a holy realm after all, and he couldn't kill himself in the city and destroy the artillery.
Several times he was kept out of the city walls, while the cannon continued to fire. Every shell kills a large number of soldiers!
Around this city wall, there are a total of three cannons, and these three cannons alone are worth tens of thousands of defenders!
Pang Ming noticed that this thing could not be fired continuously, and that it would take a while for each launch to continue. Otherwise, these things alone can crush his soldiers!
[Pang Ming couldn't attack for a long time, so he could only withdraw his troops. 】
When Pang Ming counted the soldiers, he found that he not only failed to gain any advantage in this battle, but also suffered heavy losses.
Forty thousand soldiers died in the siege, most of them killed or wounded by artillery. That thing was extremely cruel, and the broken iron inside penetrated into the human body, and the person could only die in most cases!
……
"What? Another new weapon, as powerful as the attacks of the powerhouses of the Nine Realms? When Wei Yao learned of the battle situation on the front line, he exclaimed: "Zhang Beichen is really powerful!" This king knows that he must have some terrible means! ”
"My king, that Zhang Beichen is an enemy!" Gongsun Yan reminded.
"Ahem, this king just sighed casually." Wei Yao said.
"Your Majesty, since the enemy's weapons are strong, you might as well withdraw your troops first, and when we figure out their weapons, it's not too late to attack." Gongsun Yan suggested.
"No, the more this is the case, the more you can't retreat!" Wei Yao has already learned to be obedient, "It's only been a few years, he has made the Han army so strong, give him another five years and ten years, and then it will be us who will be destroyed!" ”
"Send a letter to King Qin and King Zhao immediately, asking them not to delay any longer, urging them to march, this time, we must defeat Korea in one go!"
"The king is wise!"
……
Wei Yao sent the battle situation to Ying Yin and Zhao Yun.
After learning that South Korea's new weapon was powerful, the two also felt the pressure.
"Wei Yao is right, if Zhang Beichen is really given some years, he can make more weapons, and it will be us who will be destroyed at that time. Hands can't be left any longer! ”
Ying Yin and Zhao Yun coincidentally issued orders to speed up the attack on South Korea and be careful of the new weapons of the South Korean army.
At the same time, they again transferred troops and horses from the country to increase the number of soldiers.
This time, the three queens made up their minds to destroy South Korea first and strangle South Korea in the cradle.
……
Zhang Beichen also felt a little tricky.
No matter how advanced Korea's craftsmanship is, it is impossible to make multiple cannons in a short period of time. If the three countries attack at the same time, the South Korean army will inevitably be exhausted in coping.
At this time, it can only be relied on strategy.
Fortunately, Zhang Beichen was very familiar with the leading generals of the Three Kingdoms, and could formulate tactics according to their different characteristics.
"That Yingmeng, although he fought a great war, but he had the temperament of a reckless man, and when he fought, he would inevitably rush forward desperately and use the defensive shells and cannons to defend against him."
As for Pang Ming, he is also good at scheming, and this man has a suspicious and arrogant character. I don't need to be arrogant for the time being. Then arrange suspicious soldiers and take a risky move. ”
Zhang Beichen asked the craftsmen to immediately cast the shells of the cannons, that is, fake cannons, and transport them to the front line and install them on the city walls to scare Pang Ming.
The last thing to deal with was the cavalry of the Zhao State led by Shinnan.
"The elite cavalry of the Zhao army has always been strong, and they can defeat the fierce cavalry of the Huns head-on! Since this is the case, then send the firearm cavalry to fight them, take them by surprise, quickly defeat the Zhao army, and use the Zhao State as a breakthrough. ”
Zhang Beichen sent the main force in the direction of the Zhao army, as for the direction of defending the Wei State, the number was extremely small, he was gambling, and Pang Ming did not dare to attack at will.
