For the power and performance of the conscienceless cannon, Zhao Hengyi is very satisfied.

Stemming from the phobia of insufficient firepower in his bones, Zhao Hengyi embarked on the road of pursuing caliber and power very honestly!

The technology and talents are all insufficient, even if Zhao Hengyi can draw the drawings of the rear-loading gun, he can't make it at the level of the Yushuwan smelting workshop.

And out of the consideration of not wanting to take a detour, Zhao Hengyi of the arquebus looked down on it, so it became logical to continue to develop the optimization and use of the unconscionable gun.

In fact, it is not that Zhao Hengyi has to pursue perfection, but after mastering the excellent gunpowder formula, for the fledgling Yushuwan industrial system, if you can make arquebuses or other front-loading guns, then there is not much distance from manufacturing qualified rear-loading guns.

Zhao Hengyi, who clearly knows the history and trend of firearms development, naturally will not choose to take a detour.

Although he can't make real guns at the moment, Zhao Hengyi is not discouraged.

At present, no matter how crumbling the Great Yan Kingdom is, after all, it is still barely supporting, and the armed forces that he and Yushuwan need to face are just bandits who have been completely swept away in Dangyang County!

Not to mention the sophistication of the escort and hunting teams, the existence of single-handed crossbows has already filled the gap in firearms to a certain extent.

After all, although the fire gun that Zhao Hengyi made up is not small, in terms of actual combat, the limitations are also extremely obvious.

At the beginning, he was able to use that fire gun to kill the shadowless, which was completely taken by surprise, and it belonged to the black hand of the cold man.

And the reason why you want to use a firearm to deal with no shadow is because the body method is extremely ghostly, even a marksman like Wang Dahu can't hit it with a crossbow at a distance of more than ten meters!

In this world, how many masters like no shadow are?

Those masters of the rivers and lakes who have mastered the art of internal breathing, how many of them are as proficient in the body method as there is no shadow?

Therefore, for the convoy and the hunting party, before the firearm makes a real technological breakthrough, it is really not as good as the hand crossbow.

However, the fire gun is the king, and Zhao Hengyi will never be wrong about this.

Continuously improved and tested the conscienceless cannon in actual combat, so that all the bandits in Dangyang County died from the drumming of the mountain god, and even in other neighboring counties, there were also unlucky bandits who died together.

This kind of simple and easy-to-build high-power artillery will not have major changes for a long time in the future, and Zhao Hengyi is extremely looking forward to the appearance of the conscienceless cannon on the battlefield facing the barbarians!

It's just that this wish can't be fulfilled for the time being.

Although it rained several times in a row, which greatly alleviated the drought, except for the first line of Yonggu City, the other defense lines on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom were all defeated.

And the barbarians who had gone south because of the drought did not evacuate after ravaging one side.

In this case, Yonggu City has become a bridgehead for the Great Yan Kingdom to break into the area controlled by the barbarians!

Although it is not enough to fall into the situation of being an isolated city, the supply logistics have been greatly affected.

A month ago, Zhao Hengyi received the last letter from his brother Song Ying'an, in which he said that the border military camps, including the Xuanzi camp, had all been withdrawn into Yonggu City, and on the territory behind Yonggu City, which originally belonged to the Great Yan Kingdom, barbarians appeared from time to time......

In the letter, Song Ying'an was very worried that the supply line of Yonggu City would be cut off by the barbarians, but fortunately, relying on the previous Zhao Hengyi invention of those tools to attack the army commanded by Tuoba Dewang and force the enemy back in front, Yonggu City had replenished a wave of supplies before this.

I'm not afraid of being surrounded by barbarians, but I don't dare to take the initiative.

For more than a month, he had not received a new letter from Song Ying'an, and presumably Yonggucheng had cut off contact with the rear.

In fact, there are too many pig teammates, and the border army of Yonggu City has won a big victory, and it can only protect the surrounding people.

Now among the barbarians, the reputation of the border army of Yonggu City is also very great, after all, Tuoba Dewang is also a great commander among the barbarians, and has always had a high prestige.

The barbarians had suffered heavy losses in front of Yonggu City before, and even though they had figured out the situation of horse traps, barbed wire, trebuchets and other equipment, they were still reluctant to attack Yonggu City again.

The other defense lines of the Great Yan Kingdom are no different from before, the soldiers are still as weak as lambs on the grassland, the generals are stupid as sparrows that can't fly after eating enough grass seeds, and as soon as the iron cavalry of the grassland warriors arrives, those quail-like guys will rout like an avalanche......

With such a fish belly that is easy to bully, who wants to gnaw on the hard bone of Yonggu City?

Moreover, those barbarians who broke through the defense line of the border army wantonly roamed the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, burning, killing and looting, and were even more reluctant to go to war with Yonggu City, which defeated Tuoba Dewang.

A large number of people have been displaced, and even in the rear of Gangneung City, the number of displaced people outside the city is surging, which shows how many innocent people have been suffering from the war in front of them.

Zhao Hengyi knew all this, and his heart was like a knife, but at the moment, he didn't have any way.

It has not been a day or two since the Great Yan Kingdom's military armament has been deserted, and the border army known as the elite is vulnerable in front of the barbarian iron cavalry, as for the garrison officers and armies in other places, what kind of strength it is can be imagined.

In Jiangling City, Zhao Hengyi had seen the Ning Wu Army in charge of King Qi.

It is said that there are 3,000 people in the Ningwu army, but the actual number of soldiers in the camp is less than 800.

Even so, those ordinary soldiers were ragged and skinny, and they couldn't even eat enough, and they looked like beggars.

Although the guards that King Qi usually stayed by his side were also in the military register of Ning Wujun, they were actually his family members originally.

The blue-clothed man who chased Lu Jiuniang on Changrong Street was the family guard who had been trained by King Qi for many years, and his combat effectiveness was not bad, after all, he was well fed and would organize drills on weekdays, but there were less than fifty such people.

Jiangling City is a prosperous city, and King Qi is a prince of Jiedu, even so, the ordinary soldiers of the Ningwu Army also have a fight with the soldiers of the Eight Banners during the Great Qing Dynasty pill, and the situation of the officers and soldiers in other places is clear when you think about it.

In Zhao Hengyi's view, even if an officer like Ning Wujun is equipped with guns and artillery, he is afraid that he will still be defeated on the battlefield, and even the weapons assigned to them are very likely to be sold to the hands of barbarians at a high price......

The collapse of the armaments of the Great Yan Kingdom is no longer a problem of weapons, but a problem of people.

Civilian restraints, military attachés are cowardly, soldiers are not like soldiers, and generals are not like generals......

Engaged with the enemy, fleeing from the wind, the defense line of tens of thousands of people was broken through by the barbarian iron cavalry in half a day...... You're meowing tens of thousands of pigs, and the barbarians can't rush over so fast!

The only Xuanzi battalion that can be trusted by Zhao Hengyi, Yonggu City, has now broken off contact, and if he wants to send the conscienceless cannon to his brother Song Ying'an, he has to wait for time.

It's just that I, Zhao Hengyi, can afford to wait, this Great Yan Kingdom...... Can you afford to wait?
