"Project!" Zhang Beichen ordered people to light the fire bombs and throw them out. The target was a pile of scarecrows.
When the fuse ignites the gunpowder, the fire bomb just explodes, making a "bang" and blowing up the scarecrow.
Han Mengshu said in surprise: "This gunpowder is actually so useful? It is as powerful as our strong bows and crossbows!"
Several alchemy methods were also surprised. They only knew how to use these things to ignite fire, but they didn't know that these tinders could be made into weapons when mixed together!
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "This is just the most basic fire bomb, and its power is very small. If the outer shell is wrapped with iron or copper, and some broken iron is mixed in, it will be even more powerful! The effect can even reach that of a strong person in the Nine Realms.
hit!"
"Nine realms?" Han Mengshu's eyes lit up when he heard his words, "Can he really reach the power of a strong man in the nine realms?"
Of course she knows the strength of the Nine Realm strong men. In the simulation place, where there are few holy realms in the world, the Nine Realm strong men are the decisive force on the battlefield.
If these fire bullets alone can reach the power of the spells of the Nine Realm experts, if there are dozens or hundreds of them, wouldn't they be able to crush the opponent?
"Of course!" Zhang Beichen estimated that with South Korea's current level of craftsmanship, it is possible to make a cannon.
"That's great. If such a magical weapon can be equipped for the entire army, then our Korean army will not be weaker than any other country's army!" Han Mengshu said happily.
"I plan to start production now. In order to deceive others, I asked you to set up a special place, pretending to be alchemy, but actually making firearms." Zhang Beichen said.
Only then did Han Mengshu understand why he summoned the alchemists. It turned out to be to cover up his true purpose of making firearms and prevent them from being discovered by spies from other countries.
[You issued a decree to summon a large number of civilians and soldiers to build the 'Danhua Palace' in an area far away from the capital. The external name is to refine elixirs. A large number of alchemists are stationed in the Danhua Palace, and a large amount of alchemy materials are sent every day.
Danhua Palace.]
…
By this time, the queens of other countries had already discovered that Zhang Beichen was serving in South Korea.
If this is the case, then South Korea is their biggest threat in this round!
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 to make alchemy?" When the people of Qin State and Ying Yi heard this news, they were puzzled.
"Don't Lord Beichen never think about this? Why do you want to make elixirs in this game?" Ying Yiren thought, "Is it because I blocked South Korea's way to march into Bashu, and Wei and Zhao suppressed South Korea, so
Is he going to find another way to refine a large number of elixirs to improve the cultivation of the Korean army and win victory in this way?"
This is not impossible. After all, in many simulations, many hostile forces used secret methods to improve the cultivation of soldiers and build a strong army in a short period of time!
…
"Does Mr. Beichen want to make elixirs?" Wei Yao learned the news and immediately ordered: "Send all the miraculous elixirs in this palace to Zhang Beichen. If there are any powerful alchemists, send them too."
She thought this might be a way to increase her favorability.
As for the power of alchemy, she has nothing to fear. Wei is so powerful that it only takes a few years to conquer South Korea. First, Zhang Beichen's favorability level will be maxed out, and then South Korea will be destroyed without any delay.
…
"Zhang Qing is definitely not just refining alchemy!" Zhao Yun was familiar with Zhang Beichen's work style, but she couldn't imagine what Zhang Beichen could do by building a Danhua Palace.
Can a small Danhwa Palace still make Korea strong?
"No matter what, since Zhang Qing is in South Korea in this round, just in case, we must conquer South Korea early to avoid any accidents!" Zhao Yun thought to herself.
…
At this time, Yan Qingwu and King Qi didn't care about what happened in South Korea. They were still dealing with the domestic mess.
In Chu State, the King of Chu didn't care what others were doing. She still used simulated time and space to practice.
With every simulation, her cultivation level is getting higher and higher, and she even has a chance to break through to the imperial realm before the dragon vein seal is lifted!
…
In South Korea, a firearms factory has been built in Danhwa Palace.
The alchemists were responsible for preparing the gunpowder, and the craftsmen forged firecrackers, fireballs and artillery pieces according to Zhang Beichen's instructions.
Although Zhang Beichen knew the principles of these things, it was not easy to make mature weapons. He made the first batch of weapons after repeated experiments.
Han Mengshu held the blunderbuss, aimed at the standard, and fired one shot, hitting the target but missing the bullseye.
"With my strength, it is impossible for the shot to miss. This fire blunderbuss is not as stable as a crossbow." Han Mengshu commented.
Zhang Beichen could only admit it and said: "At present, our technology can only make fire guns of this level. The farther the distance, the worse the accuracy. It is not strong one-on-one, and requires large-scale shooting to be useful."
"Your Majesty, we can form the Fire Gun Cavalry. Coupled with the mobility of the cavalry, there will be unexpected miraculous effects!"
"As you say." Han Mengshu naturally agreed.
In addition to the fire musket unit, Zhang Beichen also arranged for the fire bomb and artillery unit. In the Danhua Palace, these firearms were produced day and night.
…
【Three years later.】
Countries have basically stabilized the domestic situation and are preparing to send out troops for conquest.
But this time, the queens were not focused on the surrounding small countries, but focused on South Korea.
"Sooner or later, the surrounding effects will be eliminated, so it is better to attack South Korea first." Wei Yao thought to herself, she sent letters of credence to King Qin and King Zhao, and united them to attack South Korea.
Wei Yao knew that if he went to attack South Korea, the two countries would definitely send troops to pick up the slack behind, so it was better to join forces with them directly.
…
"Invade South Korea first?" Ying Yiren received her credentials and chose to agree.
[You appoint Yingmeng as the general, Bai Jiayi as the deputy general, lead 80,000 troops, and set off to Korea.]
At this time, the population of the Qin State was not large enough, and the 80,000 soldiers were already the majority of the Ying Yi people.
…
Zhao Yun also decided to join Wei Guo.
[You sent Xinnan to lead an army of one hundred thousand to follow the Wei army and attack South Korea.]
…
Han Mengshu quickly received the news.
[The King of Wei sent Pang Ming, a general with 200,000 troops, 80,000 Qin troops, and 100,000 Zhao troops to attack South Korea from three directions.]
"Zhang Qing, look, they are all bullying me!" Han Mengshu complained to Zhang Beichen, "In South Korea now, even if the whole country recruits troops, it can only recruit 300,000 troops. These three countries are all elite troops. Zhang Qing, you have to withdraw your troops?"
What's the strategy?"
Zhang Beichen observed the intelligence and noticed that among the three armies, the Wei army was the fastest, followed by the Zhao army, and the Qin army was the slowest.
Although the three countries appear to be united, they actually have their own agendas.
For Ying Yiren, South Korea already has certain strength, and with Zhang Beichen here, there must be some secret weapon.
If the Qin army moves too fast and encounters the main force of the Han army, it will suffer heavy losses. Not only will it fail to gain advantage, but it will be taken advantage of by Wei and Zhao.
So she probably asked Ying Meng to march slowly and let Zhao and Wei take the lead.
Similarly, Zhao Yun had the same idea. It was clear that Zhao State was bordering South Korea, but the Zhao army just hesitated to attack at the border.
…
"These two guys are waiting for me to make the first move!" Wei Yao also knew what Ying Yi and Zhao Yun were thinking, but she was not afraid at all.
"At this time, our Wei army is the strongest in the world. No matter how powerful Zhang Beichen is, in just a few years, can he refine the elixir and ascend to the throne?"
Wei Yao ordered Pang Ming to speed up his march and take the initiative to attack.
Two hundred thousand Wei troops have arrived at the border of South Korea.
There are only 30,000 defenders in this border city.
"You must surrender quickly, lest your lives be lost in vain!" Pang Ming shouted to the garrison at the head of the city.
The guard said: "We are Koreans in life and Korean ghosts in death. It is absolutely impossible for us to surrender!"
"In that case, then you all go to hell!" Pang Ming waved his hand, "Let me attack the city!"
"Attack the city!" The war drums beat and the Wei army began to attack the city.
The siege vehicles advanced towards the city wall, followed by arrows and military array attacks.
"Fire arrows!" The guard ordered people to defend with bows and crossbows, and as expected, the enemy was temporarily repelled.
"Form up!" Pang Ming didn't panic at all, and asked the soldiers to form a shield formation. The spiritual power formed a barrier to block all the bows and arrows. Only large crossbow arrows could barely pass through the shield formation, but they could be attacked like this.
The enemy force is limited and completely unable to stop the enemy's offensive.
Seeing that a large number of enemy troops were about to attack the city wall, the guard gritted his teeth and could only hope that the Prime Minister's new weapon would be useful.
"The artillery is ready, aim at the enemy's siege vehicle, and fire!"
On the city wall, a large copper-cased bullet was stuffed into the barrel and then ignited.
Pang Ming had noticed this thing a long time ago, but he could not imagine its use. If it was a crossbow, its shape would be too strange.
He knows that this must be a weapon, but can one weapon change the situation of the war? This is simply impossible!
However, the next second, he showed a horrified expression.
As the artillery fired, a shell accurately hit the siege vehicle.
"Boom!" There was a deafening loud noise, accompanied by the explosion of the artillery shells. The siege vehicle and the dozens of soldiers on it were directly blown to pieces. The shield wall could not stop the power of the cannon!
"What is this? Its power is so terrifying!" Pang Ming was shocked.
Not to mention him, even the other soldiers were frightened and did not dare to move forward.
"Continue to attack the city, no retreat!" Pang Ming shouted and continued to command.
"Follow me to destroy that thing!" He knew that he had to break the strange weapon quickly, otherwise the siege would end in vain!
Pang Ming jumped up and led several elite soldiers to the top of the city, trying to destroy the cannon.
However, the Korean army had already deployed its defenses.
Countless crossbows attacked, and an elite squad formed a military formation to fight against it. After all, Pangming was not in the holy realm, so he could not attack the city alone and destroy the cannons.
He was blocked outside the city wall several times, while the cannon continued to fire. Every cannonball could kill a large number of soldiers!
There are three cannons in total around the city wall. These three cannons alone are worth tens of thousands of defenders!
Pang Ming noticed that this thing could not be fired continuously. Each time it was fired, it would take a while before it could continue. Otherwise, these things alone could defeat his soldiers!
[Pang Ming could not attack for a long time, so he had to withdraw his troops.]
When Pang Ming counted the soldiers, he discovered that not only had he failed to gain any advantage in this battle, but he had suffered heavy losses.
Fully 40,000 soldiers died in the siege, and most of them were killed or injured by cannons. That thing was extremely cruel, and the broken iron inside was penetrated into people's bodies. In most cases, people could only
Die without treatment!
…
"What? Another new weapon, the power of which is comparable to the attack of the Nine Realm experts?" Wei Yao learned about the battle situation on the front line and exclaimed: "Zhang Beichen is really powerful! I knew that he must be up to something terrible.
s method!"
"My king, that Zhang Beichen is the enemy!" Gongsun Yan reminded.
"Ahem, I just want to express my feelings casually." Wei Yao said.
"Your Majesty, since the enemy's weapons are powerful, we might as well withdraw our troops first. It won't be too late to attack after we figure out their weapons." Gongsun Yan suggested.
"No, the more this happens, the less likely we are to retreat!" Wei Yao has learned well. "In just a few years, he has made the Korean army so powerful. If you give him another five or ten years, he will be destroyed by then.
It’s us!”
"Immediately send a letter to King Qin and King Zhao, asking them not to delay any more and urging them to march. This time, they must conquer Korea in one go!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
…
Wei Yao sent the battle situation to Ying Yi and Zhao Yun.
After learning that South Korea's new weapons were powerful, the two also felt the pressure.
"Wei Yao is right. If Zhang Beichen is given a few years, he can make more weapons, but we will be destroyed by then. We can no longer hold back!"
Ying Yi and Zhao Yun unanimously 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 mobilized troops and horses from home and added additional troops.
This time, the three queens were determined to destroy South Korea first and strangle South Korea in its cradle.
…
Zhang Beichen also felt that it was a bit tricky.
No matter how advanced South Korea's craftsmanship is, it is impossible to produce 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 to deal with it.
At this time, all you can do is rely on strategy.
Fortunately, Zhang Beichen was familiar with the leading generals of the Three Kingdoms and could formulate tactics based on their different characteristics.
"Although Ying Meng is a powerful fighter, he has the temperament of a reckless man. Once a fight breaks out, he will rush forward at all costs and use all the defensive fire bombs and cannons to defend him."
"As for Pang Ming, he is also good at using strategies. This person's character is suspicious and arrogant. The arrogance is not used for the time being. Then arrange suspicious soldiers and make a risky move."
Zhang Beichen asked the craftsmen to immediately cast the shell of the cannon, which was a fake cannon, transport it to the front line, and install it on the city wall to scare Pang Ming.
The last thing to deal with is the Zhao cavalry led by Xinnan.
"The elite cavalry of the Zhao army has always been powerful and can defeat the fierce cavalry of the Xiongnu head-on! In this case, then send the fire cavalry to fight them, catch them by surprise, quickly defeat the Zhao army, and use Zhao as a breakthrough."
Zhang Beichen sent all his main forces in the direction of Zhao Jun. As for the defense of Wei, there were very few people. He was betting that Pang Ming would not dare to attack at will.
Thank you for your concern. I am feeling better today. It is the peak period recently, so everyone should pay attention to protection.
