…

Under the story of Li Cha Ge, Li Ganshun and others learned that in the battle of Xining, their Xixia defenders in Xining City were attacked by 10,000 cavalry led by Guo Hao, and robbed the city gate and rushed into the city. However, it did not mean that their Xixia army had no resistance at all. On the contrary, their Xixia army organized street fighting at the first time, and even organized a cavalry composed of 10,000 warriors, trying to attack Guo Hao and the others out of Xining City.

However

Among Guo Hao's surprise attack troops, three thousand people were equipped with muskets!

These three thousand people used muskets and sky-burning thunder as their main attack methods, and used simple conscience-free cannons and simple flying divine thunder as their suppressing weapons. After getting closer, they fought with the Western Xia warriors for bayonets.

The attack method of these three thousand musketeers was almost invincible.

In addition, Guo Hao personally led 7,000 cavalry to attack places where these 3,000 musketeers could not attack, and provided ammunition support for these 3,000 musketeers.

As a result, Xining City, which has 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and 30,000 to 40,000 fearless soldiers, was taken away by Guo Hao.

After telling the story of the battle in Xining, Brother Richard looked at the musket on Li Ganshun and said, "This musket has a farther range than a crossbow and is more powerful than a crossbow. The key is that its armor-breaking ability is too strong. Even the heavy armor on the Iron Harrier cannot defend against it. After getting closer, it can still be used as a spear. The central army equipped with its rank is not something that our Xia army can defeat. This is why I disagree to go to war with the central army."

Li Ganshun was a little disbelief and said, "This musket is so powerful?"

Brother Richard nodded solemnly, and said, "It may be even more powerful than I said. The Central Army should have just been equipped with muskets for a while and is still exploring the tactics of muskets. When the Central Army has fully mastered the tactics of muskets, I think no army in this world can defeat the central army."

After hearing what Li Cha said, Li Ganshun's pupils shrank!

After a while of silence, Li Ganshun's eyes moved, then looked at Brother Richard and asked, "There is only a piece of wood, an iron pipe and some miscellaneous things on this musket. It should not be expensive, right?"

Brother Richard knows what Li Ganshun wants to say.

To be honest, Brother Richard didn't want to attack Li Ganshun, but this matter could not be hidden at all, so Brother Richard could only say directly, "It should not be high, but... we can't imitate it in Daxia."

Li Ganshun wondered, "Why can't I imitate it?"

Brother Richard said, "I asked the craftsmen in our Daxia. They said that this wooden support is not difficult to build, it is the seemingly complex ignition device. It gives them enough time. They are also sure to copy it. The biggest problem lies in the barrel."

After a pause, Richard continued, "First of all, we don't have the materials for making this barrel. The craftsmen said that the fine iron used in this barrel is the only one they have seen in their lives. It is not only hard, but also resistant to high temperatures, and has a strong character. This fine iron must be refined by a special method. It will be difficult for us, Daxia to refine this fine iron without years of exploration."

Brother Richard took the musket from Li Ganshun, then pointed the barrel at himself, and said, "The material is only one aspect. The craftsmen said that if they really can't practice this kind of fine iron, they can barely use ordinary iron. The result is that the barrel often cannot withstand the high temperature of gunpowder and explode and hurt themselves. The reason why we can't imitate this musket is technically. The craftsmen said that the barrel was not cast or forged by iron wrapping, but was drilled out by force. The craftsmen said that this requires extremely high accuracy, otherwise it would be impossible to drill this straight deep hole. The craftsmen also said that even the top craftsmen, drilling such deep holes may not have a success rate of 10%; the most important thing is that it takes too long to drill such a barrel, and it may take dozens of days to drill a barrel."

Speaking of this, Brother Richard took the musket to the oil lamp, then pointed to the rifle inside that was not very clear and said to Li Ganshun and others, "Did you see it? There is actually another world in this thin hole. These thin lines are round after circle. The craftsmen separated the barrel and then saw that these thin lines were engraved on the inner wall of the barrel. They wanted to break their heads, but they didn't know how the craftsmen in the middle did this."

Brother Richard brought a few paper shells and then tore one of them open for Li Ganshun and others to see. At the same time, he said, "This is called a paper shell. It is a paper shell. It is covered with grease on the outside, and there is a fixed amount of gunpowder and a projectile. When used, the sergeant just needs to bite the bullet with his teeth, pour part of the gunpowder into the ignition pool, and then stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel with a strip of strips. It is very convenient. This kind of paper shell is also difficult for us to imitate in Daxia. First of all, the gunpowder in it is something we have not been able to completely conquer over the years, and there are oil paper outside. The craftsmen say that it has also been made and processed through special processes. The projectile is not iron, and the iron cannot be so light."

After taking a deep breath, Richard concluded, "Anyway, this musket is something that our Daxia cannot imitate, at least it cannot be imitated in a short period of time."

Li Ganshun looked at the seemingly no big deal in Brother Li's hand, looking disbelief, and he really didn't expect that the musket would be so difficult to make.

Li Renzhong asked, "Does this musket have no weakness?"

Brother Richard said, "Yes, its shooting speed is not as fast as a bow and arrow. If it shoots once, a skilled archer can even shoot five or six arrows."

After hearing Brother Richard's words, everyone, including Li Ganshun, breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Then you should still have to fight."

However

Brother Richard is not as optimistic as Li Ganshun and the others.

Brother Richard quickly said, "But it takes several years to train a archer. There are few that can be trained in less than ten years. I only took three hours to hit sheep ten feet away to achieve two or three out of ten."

"Hiss!"

Li Ganshun and others all took a breath!

They are all wise people who understand what Richard says really means.

If muskets are so easy to master, and with the hundreds of millions of people in Dazhong, Dazhong will have the most terrifying ability to fight endurance.

Imagine that even if the Xia army could barely tie the Central Army, the same person would always die.

But it takes several years for the warriors of Xixia to add one, while the warriors of the middle school can add one in just a few hours.

How could Xixia, which has a population of only more than three million, be consumed too much?

Therefore, what Li Ganshun thought before was to drag down Dazhong, which was completely a joke.

Li Ganshun sat on his dragon throne!

After a long time, Li Ganshun said, "Let's discuss how to condemn Dazhong's rash attacks..."
