From the world of martial arts

After leaving Taipingdao's headquarters, Su Fan went on the road alone again, visiting the great mountains and rivers of Kyushu.

As for Zhang Liao, he was left directly to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Liao has a good level of strength and cultivation. He is still young and has already reached the level of Grand Master. He will even break through to the level of Jindan soon. He can be said to be a young talent in the North.

But in Taiping Dao, it is actually nothing. In Taiping Dao, many of the disciples who practice martial arts have reached the level of grand master.

Among Zhang Jiao's more than one hundred disciples, almost 70% are above the Grand Master level. Of course, Zhang Jiao is a Taoist sect, so most of his disciples are Taoists.

Of course, this does not prevent some disciples from turning to military martial arts, and all of these people have reached the Grand Master level, and most of them are even at the golden elixir level of martial arts.

Such as Zhang Niujiao, they are all at the golden elixir level, and even have several god refining levels.

Zhang Liao is naturally proud, because there are really not many people who can compare with him in Bingzhou. Even the Wang family, the first family in Bingzhou, has many outstanding disciples, but in the same age group, there is no one who can compare with him. Several.

So Zhang Liao has enough confidence to be proud.

But since he was brought to Taiping Dao, Zhang Liao's self-confidence has been greatly affected. Although there are many people on Taiping Dao who are stronger than him and are actually much older than him, there are also several people who are the same as him. The grades are almost the same, but their cultivation level is in Jindan.

And those people are still practicing Taoism.

Zhang Liao is not an ignorant novice. Compared with martial arts, it is more difficult to advance in the Kyushu as a cultivator. Those who can reach the golden elixir are almost a hundred years old, and some are even hundreds of years old monsters.

But those few, who are not very senior, are able to cultivate to the realm of golden elixir, and judging from their daily behavior, it seems that this cultivation level is nothing at all. Most of them are either teaching people to read and read, or studying that What science.

Zhang Liao was not very interested in science. For him, he preferred to be in the military.

Of course, Zhang Liao was naturally very curious about the newly built firearms camp on Taiping Road. The power of those muskets and artillery. Not to mention the muskets, the effect of the artillery really shocked him.

After all, the artillery is more terrifying than the crossbow, especially the explosive bombs, the power of the explosion is really strong.

Even he might be in danger when faced with a bombardment from dozens of cannons.

Moreover, he was even more shocked to hear that Brother Niujiao said that the power of this artillery could be improved, or even doubled.

Of course he knew that the artillery was a deterrent to the cavalry. Once there were thousands of cannons, the cavalry would probably suffer heavy losses under the roar of artillery fire.

After all, the current range of the artillery is a thousand meters away, and it will take at least twenty breaths for the cavalry to rush through this distance.

This is enough time for those artillery guns to fire for one round.

Actually even more.

The power of the simultaneous explosion is enough to bombard countless cavalry. Once the range and rate of fire of the artillery can be accelerated, it is conceivable that the cavalry, as the king of the army, may no longer have the power it once had.

And this is Taipingdao’s unique trump card.

Originally, he didn't care about Taiping Dao. Although he followed his seniors, he didn't think Taiping Dao would have a chance.

But seeing everything in the valley, he also changed, not only the many powerful people in Taiping Dao, but more importantly, the foundation of Taiping Dao.

Those factories were really terrible, and he had heard that the steel in Taiping Road was endless. Zhang Liao is naturally no stranger to steel.

After all, the armor on his body was forged from fine gold, which was refined from copper and iron.

Only one kilogram of fine gold was extracted from ten thousand kilograms of copper and iron. His armor used at least dozens of kilograms of fine gold.

For this suit of armor, Zhang spent ten years of her income.

Of course, the defense of this armor is indeed terrifying, and it is enough to withstand the attack of the powerful Jin Dan.

Zhang Liang is very clear about the price of copper and iron, and the steel in Taiping Road is almost infinite. The steel that can be seen everywhere, especially steel, is much more and can be used for agricultural tools.

You must know that many places in the North cannot even afford iron.

Zhang Liao naturally knew that steel was better than iron. Whether it was used for weapons or armor, it was much better in terms of sharpness and hardness.

As the saying goes, steel can be made a hundred times. Ordinary iron needs to be made a hundred times to become steel. However, here on Taiping Road, steel can be made directly.

This eliminates the need for the process of ferrite-making steel, and this technology alone is very precious.

Everyone in that 50,000-strong army was in steel armor. Even in the North, almost no army could compare.

That is steel armor. Of course, some leather armors in the North combined with iron armor will not be much worse than steel armor in terms of defense. After all, it is still a little worse.

Moreover, Zhang Liao knew that the steel armor on Taiping Road was too easy. They had no shortage of steel, so it was not difficult to build the steel armor.

What arsenal, if it works at full capacity in a month, it can produce tens of thousands of steel armors or iron armors.

The water conservancy forging technology really surprised him. Compared with the water conservancy machinery forging hammer, the human forging hammer naturally has no advantage.

The latter's speed and endurance far exceed the human aspect.

Whether it is armor or weapons, Taiping Dao really has an advantage. In this regard, the old forces in the North cannot compare with Taiping Dao.

Even the imperial court cannot compare. If the imperial court was at its peak, it would naturally not be a problem. With its huge manpower and resources, surpassing Taiping Dao would not be a problem at all.

But the current court does not have that kind of power at all. It can only influence the court around the capital, and it no longer has much control over the local areas.

There are more and more ambitious people in the local area. It is good that they have not stood up to resist the imperial court.

Zhang Liao followed Su Fan and saw too many crises in the court and the decline of the dynasty. He finally understood.

Naturally, he also knew about Taiping Dao and the preparations of the senior. Of course, after seeing everything about Taiping Dao, Zhang Liao was naturally excited.

In his eyes, Taiping Dao currently only has 50,000 troops, but he knows that as long as Taiping Dao wants, it can increase its troops explosively at any time. Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, or even half a million is not a problem for Taiping Dao.

After all, whether it is soldiers, armor or food, Taiping Road has no shortage at all.

As for manpower, it goes without saying that there are too many people starving to death in the world. As long as they are given a mouthful of food, I don’t know how many people will be willing.

What's more, he knew that Taiping Dao believers could be found throughout Jizhou. (End of chapter)
