Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 174 Times have changed, my lord

The Heavenly Soldiers Talisman in his hand shone slightly, and Su Yuan stared at it. He couldn't remember how many times it was summoned.

The tens of thousands of sailors summoned last time solved the problem for him that the northern soldiers were not good at water. Now they are all training with Qi Jiguang, and I believe that they will become an extremely powerful naval force in a short time.

For this call, Su Yuan wanted the army more, and it would be best if he was good at mountain warfare.If there is no army, it is not bad to have a rare general.

With anticipation, he summoned with a soldier talisman.

The light curtain appeared, but there were no portraits, which proved that he was not a rare general.But after the results were displayed, Su Yuan was slightly surprised.

[Successful Summoning: Get [-] Fire Gun Soldiers]

Main combat type: short-range shooting

Equipment: Firebolt gun
Quantity: [-]

Notes: "Times have changed, my lord"

……

"Fire gun..."

Su Yuan looked at the result of the light curtain and felt emotional in his heart. It was really like the remarks of his arms said that the times have changed.

It's not that the appearance of firecrackers can completely eliminate archers. After all, there is still a big gap between firecrackers and modern or even modern firearms.For example, the effective killing range is only a few tens of meters, for example, it can only be fired after a single shot, and cannot be fired in succession...

It can't be completely eliminated, but it shows a trend of elimination.With the firecracker, Su Yuan could hand it over to craftsmen, or even Qi Jiguang to study it.Let them research and make better ones.

He vaguely remembered that Qi Jiguang in historical records was not only good at building ships, but also had some research on weapons such as muskets and cannons. It would definitely be no problem for him to make improvements.

If it is possible to figure out the method of making firecrackers for summoning soldiers through reverse engineering, and then manufacture them in batches, then many crossbowmen may be able to put down their crossbows and use firecrackers instead.

The longbowman can't replace it for the time being. The effective killing range of the longbow projectile can even be as far as 300 meters, which is incomparable to the current firecrackers.

But as long as the trend appears, it will not be far from a major replacement...

Su Yuan did not resist this trend, nor did he think of resisting.He even thought it was a good thing, as soon as possible advances in weapon technology would benefit both the Bei'an Army and the common people.

Especially after he discovered that the Saxon country's multinational companies have the ability to sail across continents, the idea of ​​progress has been lingering in his mind.

If a great man falls behind, he will be beaten. If overseas western countries want to take advantage of their technological advantages, Su Yuan will definitely not agree.But only relying on martial arts in the rivers and lakes cannot change the overall situation.

Su Yuan thought about it, even if he took all the major sects of the twelve states under his command, there might only be a few thousand fighters with a certain fighting power, less than ten thousand.

These warriors are very strong in small-scale battles, but when they encounter a fully equipped army, they can only run for their lives or wait for death.This is just the ancient army. If they are facing continuous guns and cannons, how long can these masters of the rivers and lakes last.

Su Yuan thinks it is very pessimistic. After all, not every martial artist can cultivate to the highest level like Zhen Miao. Most of the warriors can reach the sky but the innate level, and they are still lower than the third level.

And because of martial arts and even Da Zhou's suppression of "exotic skills", the development of Da Zhou's technology is not good.Although Su Yuan made changes after occupying the north, it still took time to accumulate.

"Time waits for me."

Even holding such a fetish as the Heavenly Soldiers Talisman in his hand, Su Yuan still had a faint sense of crisis and urgency.

He collected his thoughts, summoned a few firecrackers, took the firecrackers, and went to the Ministry of War to leave two for Zhou Shu, and asked her to hand them over to the artisans in the Ministry of War who were in charge of developing military weapons for research.

Then he went to the ferry again and left a few for Qi Jiguang.When Qi Jiguang saw this object, he called out its name "Fire Gun", which seemed to be a recognition.

The two stood under the watchtower that had already been built. Qi Jiguang took the firecracker, looked at it and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about the research and manufacture of this thing for the past few days. Because of fighting at sea, the boat is unstable. A musket would be more accurate."

Su Yuan nodded, it was true, it was not easy to draw a bow to aim, and his feet were unstable on a swaying ship, a gun must be much easier to use than a bow.

"And there are such things on the ships of overseas western countries." Qi Jiguang said.

"Oh?" Su Yuan asked curiously, "Have you seen Jiguang?"

The ships of the Tulip Company had docked at the ferry in the capital before, so foreign generals like Qi Jiguang were naturally not allowed to board the ship, but they couldn't stop him from observing with his eyes.

He said that he saw some crew members holding this object in their hands, and it was similar to what Su Yuan brought.

Su Yuan thought, from this point of view, the Saxon country's firearm technology has just started, and it has not surpassed this firearm by much.

He asked Qi Jiguang to study it, and strive to get the drawings out as soon as possible and achieve mass production.As for ammunition, black powder, which is mainly made of sulfur, has sufficient raw materials.

Leaving the ferry and returning to the capital, Su Yuan dispatched all [-] gunfire soldiers to Zhao Yun, and asked him to take them to fight against Bai Su Demon Sect and Qinzhou.

In addition, there were a total of [-] soldiers in this march, of which summoned soldiers and real soldiers accounted for almost even half.In addition to the firecrackers, Su Yuan also transferred special arms such as priests and undead wizards to Zhao Yun.

As he said before, what he wanted was for Zhao Yun to quickly destroy the Demon Cult after passing by, and then take Qinzhou in one fell swoop, instead of studying some military strategy and attacking slowly.

When the fist is big enough, no strategy is needed at all, just run over it straight.This is what Su Yuan wanted, and that's why he sent so many soldiers to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun understood what Su Yuan was thinking, and he himself issued a military order to destroy the Demon Cult within a month and seize Qinzhou.

The next day, when the army officially moved out, news spread to all parties.The mobilization of so many troops was so powerful that it was impossible to conceal it.

There was also a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes. Those who had always disliked Su Yuan before had to look at him with admiration this time.

The Bai Su Demon Sect is not only an extremely terrifying existence for many people, but even some Jianghu sects are also very afraid of them. There are at least five or six sects that have been exterminated by them.

It was rumored that some martial arts masters mysteriously disappeared, and there was also the shadow of the Bai Su Demon Sect behind them. People in the world dared not speak out against them, for fear that those guys wearing masks would find them.

Now that Su Yuan is going to send out an army to wipe out the Baisu Demon Sect, this really surprised all the people in Jiang Hu. Many people think that Su Yuan has finally done a "personnel matter" this time, and they don't care about what he did to destroy the Yunshan Sect before. How did you mention it.

At the same time, within the mountains, all disciples of Bai Sumen have been recalled from outside recently, with a total of nearly 3000 people!Among the various sects in the Jianghu, the number of such sects can be counted on one hand.

Now facing the threats of the Bei'an Army, the Bai Su Demon Cult had previously spoken out in Jianghu, asking the Bei'an Army to come and kill one, and two to kill one pair.It doesn't count if you are dead, but you have to drain all the blood from the corpse, make dried human buns into slices, and eat them with wine and pork head meat.

Such horrific remarks have always been the characteristics of Bai Su's Demon Cult, Su Yuan didn't care, just like he was indifferent to the majesty of the emperor, the horror of these Demon Cults had already been disenchanted in his eyes.

The common people are afraid of them, and there are various rumors that there are monsters, demon kings, etc. in the Demon Cult.But in Su Yuan's eyes, the so-called Demon Cult is just a gathering place for a group of perverted murderers, at best it can be regarded as a high-level bandit cottage.

Since ancient times, in the face of regular army attacks, few so-called villages or villages can stop a round.

At the moment, in Bai Sumen, the disciples are busy with their defense work, while the left and right protectors are pacing back and forth outside a cave with a little anxiety.

"Can I leave the customs today?"

"I don't know..."

The cave is the place where Bai Su's "Yiqing" leader retreats. Every other month, Yiqing will go out to replenish "Blood Pill" and handle some internal affairs.Except for this day, any disciples are not allowed to disturb, otherwise they will surely die.

Today is the first month, and the guardians on the left and right are anxiously waiting to report about the Bei'an Army.

After waiting for half an hour, the cave door rumbled open.A young figure walked out of it.

Seeing that person appear, the two immediately knelt on one knee and said, "See..."

"Okay, get up." The young voice had a hint of a smile, and there was the sound of the folding fan shaking.

"You two have been waiting here so early, what's the matter?" the man asked.

The two raised their heads and looked at the leader, Yiqing. The latter looked young and handsome, and he was the only one in the Baisu sect who didn't wear a mask.

Or maybe it is wearing an extremely realistic human skin mask, which others cannot see.The guardians are not clear about this.

And if Fu Chengyang was still alive, he would be extremely astonished to see this Bai Su leader at this moment.Because this person is no one else, but the mysterious person who has cooperated with him many times, Jia Yi!
