Ma Teng said: "Taiping Dao is in the west, there are nearly a million troops!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhao was stunned.

Taiping Dao is in the West, and it can still have a million troops, this is impossible, right?

If this is really the case, then Zhang Ning and others in Taiping Dao probably conquered all countries such as Central Asia and Eastern Europe, otherwise they would not have been able to do this.

If Taiping Dao really conquered so many places, the strength at this time must be very strong, Yang Zhao is only pacifying the north of the Han Dynasty now, and the area conquered seems to be far less than Taiping Dao.

I don't know if Zhang Ning's Taiping Dao was too strong, or those Western countries were too weak, or they used means such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion to subvert the local beliefs and make them all convert to Taipingdao.

However, the army of millions should not make Ma Teng and them afraid of Taiping Dao, there must be other reasons.

If you change to Yang Zhao to fight, you can fight!

The millions of people in the West are made up of different countries, and there are only a lot of people, and the cooperation and tacit understanding between each other create morale are actually not very good.

There are too many parts, the interior is complicated, and the overall combat power will not be very strong.

It only takes a few artillery bombardments to disintegrate these million-strong army, unless Zhang Ning can train them to completely obey orders in the later stage.

"Millions of people, a lot indeed."

After Yang Zhao said a word, he stopped interrupting and let Ma Teng continue.

"This is not the most terrifying part of Taiping Road."

Ma Teng said: "Among the millions of people, all of them are Westerners, the composition is complex, and they may not be able to risk their lives to charge, and the most terrifying thing about them is not that there are many people, but that there is a relatively special weapon." ”

Yang Zhao asked curiously, "What weapon?" ”

I saw Ma Teng think for a long time, and said: "It's like the lord's weapons, which can make loud noises and have very lethal power!" ”

"You mean, there is also artillery in the West?"

Yang Zhao was surprised, and his voice raised a few points.

The technology of gunpowder has not yet been transmitted, except for being stolen by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it is mainly developed and used under the control of Yang Zhao, how can there be artillery in the West?

Or did Zhang Ning steal their technology as well?

But it is unlikely, when Zhang Ning left Dahan, he had not yet made artillery, which was only made recently, and it was impossible for Zhang Ning to steal it.

Ma Teng said: "It turns out that the weapons of the lord are called artillery, but they are not artillery, they are smaller than artillery, more easy to carry, and the things that are shot out are also smaller, and the shape is like an iron pipe, which can be lifted with one hand, which is more suitable for soldiers to use alone." ”

Hearing Ma Teng's description, Yang Zhao frowned.

Taipingdao is indeed not like artillery, but it sounds very much like a musket, and the technology of making guns is more difficult than that of artillery, the parts are more refined, and machine tools are also needed.

Ma Jun: The first weapons they built were artillery and other weapons.

Guns and other things have been researched, but no finished products have appeared.

How could the Taiping, or those Westerners, even have guns?

This is not normal and unlikely.

Unless in this world, in addition to Yang Zhao, there are other traversers, and that traverser goes to the West, or becomes a certain person in the Taiping Dao, this conjecture can be established.

After all, Yang Zhao himself can cross over, and it is not surprising that there is a second traverser.

So Zhang Ning knew everything about him, didn't he bring the news that he was a traverser to another traverser? It turned out that he had been in the open all along, in a passive position, and suddenly felt threatened.

Of course, all these conjectures are premised on the fact that there are also traversers in the West.

If it doesn't work, it will save a lot of trouble, and if it does, a traverser who can build guns, and an army of millions, will be much more threatening and difficult to deal with.

Yang Zhao thought too much in an instant, it seems that while changing history, there will be a lot of things that will not appear in the first place and are difficult to control.

That's the way it is now, it's a bit difficult to do.

Ma Teng continued: "When we first arrived in the west, we happened to meet people from Taiping Dao, who were destroying a small country. That small country sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the troops of Taiping Dao, but they used that kind of weapon, and fired at the cavalry continuously, and the opening of the iron pipe would also breathe fire, and the cavalry could not even get close, so it was easily solved. ”

According to this description, Yang Zhao felt that it was a musket.

The age of knights in the West was ended by muskets, and those knights in the West were eliminated by muskets.

"Did Zhang Ning tell you who made those weapons?" Yang Zhao asked.

Ma Teng shook his head.

Weapons are secrets inside Taiping Dao, so naturally they won't be said casually.

But the presence of muskets is more likely.

"Han Sui and I, we're afraid of those weapons."

Ma Teng continued: "According to our judgment, Taiping Dao will definitely pass through the Western Regions and enter Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and we haven't started yet, maybe it's just a matter of time, if we get in, we will not be able to stop it in Liangzhou, so we can only choose to obey." ”

Yang Zhao had a general understanding of what the situation was in the west, and said, "It's more complicated than I thought. ”

Since the enemy can have muskets, then artillery and other things will definitely not be less.

But how the fight will be, Yang Zhao is difficult to judge, and he still feels that he is a traverser, very likely, he has long been exposed in front of other traversers.

It seems that it is necessary to let Ma Jun and them develop science and technology as soon as possible, so that they will have a chance to compete in the future.

However, the premise of this is that you have to determine whether the other party is crossing as soon as possible, and you must also determine whether the other party has a system, if there is a system, you need to worry, if there is no system......

There is no system for crossing, Yang Zhao feels that he is still afraid of a hammer!

There is a system, and it is possible to crush the non-system.

"That's all I can know, and that's all I can tell my lord."

Ma Teng finally said.

Yang Zhao nodded slightly.

At present, even the world has not yet been calmed, and the affairs of the West can only be put aside for the time being and decided in the future.

Next, he had to go crazy and make more weapons.

It can't be compared to other traversers.

"Thank you, General Ma, for telling me this."

Yang Zhao said: "Then I will no longer disturb the general's rest, and if there is any need, I can order the people outside at any time." ”

Ma Teng thought that Yang Zhao was actually very good, and he could do well with his own people, so he nodded and said, "The lord is polite." ”

Yang Zhao took his leave and left the room.

The possible traverser made Yang Zhao feel jealous, and he needed to figure everything out as much as possible, and he couldn't be passive forever.

"Lord!"

When Yang Zhao was thinking about the West, a delicate voice sounded, and he saw that it was Ma Yunlu coming.

Ma Yunlu said again: "I looked at the lord just now, and he looked a little unrelenting. ”

Yang Zhao smiled: "If you want to do other things, don't you rest?" ”

"I'm waiting for the lord to come out, and then I will take care of my father, so I won't bother the lord."

Ma Yunlu smiled slightly, and after finishing speaking, he walked into the house.

Yang Zhao came back to his senses and hurriedly asked someone to find Shi A.
