I am not Song Qinzong

The East Palace not only recognized the crisis, but also made preparations for it.

Zhao Huan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the strength of the Eastern Palace?"

"There are [-] guard horse troops, [-] infantry troops on Salmon Island, and more than [-] horses and horses are available in the local area. The total is less than [-]." Yu Qi said.

This number is roughly accurate.

Zhao Huan said: "In this way, you will make a plan, but it must be kept secret and not leaked."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will keep our mouths shut, not only that, from today onwards, we will wait for more than ten people, and we will no longer place orders!

Avoid going out of the camp as much as possible. If someone has to go out of the camp, three people must go together, and you must not reveal anything! "Yu Qi said.

This means of secrecy is already quite good, and I really can't ask for more.

After being moved, he said: "Everyone has worked hard, I guarantee that within two years, there will be results!"

"Willing to die for His Highness!" Everyone bowed down.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Huan said again: "The rest are starting to prepare, Yu Qi will come with me."

"Here." Yu Qi agreed.

As a staff officer, he knew what to ask and whether to ask, so no one asked where Zhao Huan was going to take Yu Qi.

It was Yu Yunwen, who was also in the military strategy room, and did not follow.

Everyone got on their horses and walked straight to the east.

Not a moment later, we arrived in front of a forest.

The forest is quite large, dense with vegetation.

Faintly, there was a sound of thunder coming from inside.

Zhao Huan said: "The East Palace has been researching firearms, and its location is here. Except for Liu Ziyi and the five hundred soldiers guarding here, you are the first to come here."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will definitely watch carefully and plan this force well." Yu Qi replied.

When I got close, I saw the manor surrounded by high walls under the shade of trees, and there were soldiers patrolling back and forth on the walls.

Look carefully, these soldiers have muskets behind them in addition to ordinary swords and guns.

The five hundred guards are the elite drawn from Salmon Island, and loyalty is the first consideration.

Because this is Donggong's method of suppressing the bottom of the box.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the place, the guards are also the seeds of practicing firearms.

The musket is still made of copper. Although the price has dropped slightly due to the expansion of production, it is still expensive.

"Iron muskets have high requirements on the precision of each part, and the processing is difficult, so the progress is slow." Liu Ziyi introduced.

Zhao Huan asked, "How about the production of iron spears?"

"One gun every three days." Liu Ziyi was very embarrassed.

"It's okay, take your time." Zhao Huan comforted.

Limited to the venue and the number of craftsmen, it is too normal for the output to not increase.

"How much did you produce?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"Based on controlling the inner city walls, we need to carry [-] guns. We have already produced [-] guns, and it will take half a year." Liu Ziyi replied.

Carrying the gun is actually an oversized shotgun. Two people cooperate to operate it. Whether it is used for street fighting or defending against danger, it can be called a magic weapon.

Of course, this is an unavoidable choice.

It is larger in size, easier to manufacture than muskets, smaller in size, cheaper than artillery, and relatively simple to operate, so it has become the main force.

In the final analysis, it is actually an excessive product, and when the guns and artillery are mature, they will inevitably be eliminated.

But at this time, it is an artifact and does not accept refutation.

This is Zhao Huan's final preparation for the coup!

180 a situation

Outside the city of Yunzhou, in the camp of the conquering army.

The tents that were originally neat and orderly collapsed countless times.

Numerous wounded wailed and screamed, and a large number of corpses fell to the ground.

Many soldiers walked among them in despair, packing up their weapons and armor, helping the wounded, and packing up the corpses.

The outer camp walls also have countless gaps, and the antlers and trenches have been completely destroyed.

Liu Kai's eyes were bloodshot, and he said: "Father... the commander of the deputy capital, the last general asks for orders to directly attack the lairs of Liangshan bandits!"

"Its lair is in the water, how to attack?" Liu Zhongwu asked back.

Liu Kai was at a loss for words, and only clenched his fists, looking extremely annoyed.

When Tiangou eclipsed the sun, the soldiers were terrified and shaken.

When Liu's father and son were appeasing the soldiers, Liang Shan's bandit army suddenly came out.

The camp was bombed immediately.

Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and the leading generals immediately commanded the army to meet the enemy, but the opponent came suddenly and the timing was well chosen, so it was really unstoppable.

After a big kill, the Liangshan bandits retreated when the sun recovered.

It is conservatively estimated that no less than [-] soldiers were lost in the attack.

Although the general didn't die, Liu Xi and Bi Sheng were seriously injured. If they don't take good care of them for a while, they will definitely not be able to go into battle.

On top of that, the boat burned again.

Are you irritating or not?

If possible, Liu Zhongwu would really like to chop Hoopoe into meat sauce.

When the boat was burned, Hoopoe was the first to swim ashore, and in the end he didn't lose a single hair.

However, there is no one on the water, so you can only use hoopoe.
