Zhao Xuan's appearance saved the crisis at Lingyunguan and also eased the tense atmosphere on the entire battlefield. This war that had the entire continent watching closely came to an end for the time being. As for when it will break out again, no one knows
Things to know.
However, Wuhundian's army has retreated to Tianmen Pass, and it looks like it is unlikely to launch another attack in a short time. This also gives the Tiandou coalition forces, which have been living on tenterhooks for six months, a sigh of relief and a chance to breathe.
.
The team that Zhao Xuan brought from the Valley of Flowers was not merged into the Tiandou Alliance. This was the master's suggestion, because whether it was the people in the Valley of Flowers or Mu Yuan from the Palace of Asceticism, they all came for Zhao Xuan.
Out of respect for them, only Zhao Xuan has the right to command them, which means that no one else has the right to mobilize them except Zhao Xuan.
…
"boom!"
A gunshot suddenly rang out in a forest behind Lingyun Pass, startling countless birds that were perching there.
"Great Elder, look, this is the firearm developed by our Tang Sect. Three months after you left, Elder Lou Gao handed over the improved drawings to Litang. Now Litang can produce this kind of firearm every month.
There are more than a thousand, and the production speed is much faster than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
In a dense forest behind Lingyung Pass, Yang Wudi excitedly held a spear and said to Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan took it and looked at it, touching the smooth body of the gun and couldn't help but nodded. This could be regarded as a souvenir he left in this world to commemorate his previous life. Although he didn't know what impact it would have on this world.
But looking at the cold and smooth appearance of the gun in his hand, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but asked with satisfaction: "How does this thing compare to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"
Yang Wudi pondered for a while, and then replied: "It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
After a pause, he continued: "In terms of power, the difference between the two is not big. The difference lies in its manufacture and use."
"In terms of manufacturing, the manufacturing of firearms is much simpler than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It will undoubtedly have a great advantage in this relatively critical time, because it allows our disciples of the Tang Sect to quickly form a counterattack against the soul master.
A threatening combat capability.”
"But there is a characteristic of firearms, that is, they are particularly prone to wear and tear. Especially when used frequently in fierce battles, the rifling wear is very severe."
"The other thing is the issue of reloading. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow can shoot dozens of crossbow arrows at a time, but the firearm needs to be loaded slowly, which undoubtedly takes more time, and within this time the firearm loses the suddenness of being a concealed weapon.
Sex, as far as I'm concerned, I think firearms may be more suitable as conventional weapons on the frontal battlefield, but not suitable for the core disciples of our sect."
"However, this firearm also has advantages, that is, its range is much longer than that of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and it can hit the enemy at a longer distance."
Zhao Xuan holds the long gun in his hand. The long gun does not look like the modern rifles of his later generations. After all, the drawings of such things cannot be seen casually on the Internet. The appearance of this long gun is more similar to the rifles from the World War II era in his previous life.
It is a bolt-action rifle.
After groping for a while, Zhao Xuan pulled the bolt of the gun and picked it up, squinting his eyes and aiming forward, and then gently pulled the trigger finger.
Following a "bang" sound, a small hole appeared on the trunk of the tree not far ahead.
He smiled, and then responded to Yang Wudi's question, saying: "In terms of suddenness, this firearm is indeed not as good as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but the disciples in the sect will have better hidden weapons in the future, and there is no need for this thing. I
I only made this thing to cope with this war. From now on, this firearm will be the standard equipment for outer disciples."
He touched the spear in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all the things in his previous life, maybe this was the only thing that could keep him in this world.
After continuing to play with the spear for a while, Zhao Xuan handed the gun to the Tang Sect disciple next to him.
The young Tang Sect disciple took it respectfully and looked at Zhao Xuan with admiration and admiration. Although he may be much older than Zhao Xuan, in the eyes of many people, Zhao Xuan
He is already a legendary existence.
Zhao Xuan naturally smiled back at this, and then he turned around and walked towards Lingyun Pass, without looking back, he asked Yang Wudi: "Do you have statistics on the development in Menzhong and some things that have happened on the mainland in the days since I left?
Is it finished?"
"Um."
Yang Wudi nodded, and then said: "So far, our Tang Sect inner disciples have a total of more than 1,300 people. In addition to the original disciples who belong to our four major independent families, there are nearly four new disciples.
Hundreds of disciples, these disciples have all joined after going through many tests."
"If it weren't for the war, my disciples of the Tang Sect would have added more than three hundred to this number."
Zhao Xuan was silent. Of course he understood the meaning of Yang Wudi's words, which meant that more than three hundred disciples of the Tang Sect had died during this war.
"Have their family arrangements been made?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"After arrangements have been made, their families can receive monthly pensions from the door that are enough to live in the imperial capital."
"That's good, we must not let their families feel disappointed." Zhao Xuan sighed softly.
Perhaps because he felt that the topic was too heavy, Yang Wudi quickly changed the topic.
"In addition, we also have nearly two thousand outer disciples. Some of them are soul masters, but most of them are ordinary people. They are responsible for maintaining our Tang Sect's business alliances in the outside world."
"Oh, by the way, now our Tang Clan Merchant Alliance is on the right track and now has an income of at least 100,000 gold soul coins every month."
After hearing this, Zhao Xuan finally nodded with satisfaction. This at least did not disappoint Tang San's trust in him before leaving.
"I really want to know what Mistress' expression will be like when she comes back."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel happy after thinking about it, which also made Yang Wudi smile. He smiled and said: "The sect master will definitely be surprised when he comes back."
Before Tang San left, the Tang Sect was just an empty frame, with four major families supporting the facade. But now the Tang Sect has become a powerful force with the names of the three sects, and its footprints are spread all over the Tiandou Empire along with the caravans.
The name of the gate is also known to everyone on the mainland.
After talking and laughing, the smile on Yang Wudi's face suddenly faded, and then he said hesitantly: "As for the mainland, nothing major happened, but I think there are a few things that are a bit strange, and I still want to tell you about it."
"Oh? What's the matter?" The smile on Zhao Xuan's face dropped when he saw this.
"These things are said to be natural disasters, but I always feel a little weird."
"Shortly after you went to heal, three things happened one after another in the Tiandou Empire. One happened in the polar region to the north of the Tiandou Empire. The snowfall period had passed in the polar region, and a blizzard fell without warning.
It was bigger than the blizzard in the snow season, covering half of the northern province, and the damage was considerable."
"A few days later, a large tsunami also appeared in the East China Sea without warning, and the eastern provinces were equally severely affected."
"As for the last one, it is very close to Tiandou City, in the Sunset Forest."
"Wait! Where did you say that?"
Zhao Xuan raised his head and frowned and asked Yang Wudi.
