Chapter 909 Thanks to Mo Cui Dang Wan(1/2)
Congratulations to the Black Cui Party for being promoted to fifth place in the fan list!
After the infantry rafted, the cavalry appeared. . The fastest update
A target was also set up in front of the cavalry.
Su Zhi thought the cavalry must have rushed up and chopped with a knife. Or, they came to the target to take a cavalry. As a result, they never expected that the Tang army cavalry did not rush quickly, and their formation was well maintained. When they were not far from the target, they even stopped the war horses and then took out a musket.
This musket is shorter than that of the Tang army infantry.
He rode directly on the horse and shot at the target, and then started firing again.
Su Zhi watched it very carefully and ejaculated three times in total.
"Three consecutive shots!" Su Zhi exclaimed.
Li Chao smiled and said, "This is our cavalry's special firearm, three-eyed gun, which can be shot three times in a row."
The gunshot stopped, and the target was already tilted and covered with bullet marks.
Su Zhi and Duluo looked at each other.
This firearm is too powerful. It feels like although it may not be as fast as riding and shooting, or it may not be as far as riding and shooting, if you suffer such a violent musket attack from the Tang army at this distance, your lethality will definitely be stronger than riding and shooting.
Moreover, these cavalry not only had muskets, but they also saw some cavalry with double inserts, with cavalry bows and arrows on the other side.
They also have spears and spears.
These Tang cavalry can be riding and shooting from afar, muskets from afar, and sabers from afar. This is simply armed to the teeth. Their tribal cavalry will definitely suffer if they encounter such a Tang army.
Another team of drills was conducted, and Su Zhi and Duluo, as well as their chiefs and generals, looked pale.
I thought they were very strong.
But now I see with my own eyes that the difference is really too far.
Li Chao looked at the faces of the two of them secretly, feeling very satisfied.
This performance is not an exposing strength. On the contrary, the performance can greatly intimidate them than these people.
"Get the gun! I will perform for the two guests in person!"
Li Chao shouted with a big laugh.
Someone took out a rifle and a three-eyed gun.
Li Chao first picked up a Great Wall-style, "This is a Great Wall-style fire door gun, also known as an infantry musket, or abbreviated as a rifle."
With the gun in hand, Li Chao was very skillful in loading ammunition and then aimed at it with the gun.
A wooden man was placed thirty steps in front of him, and a layer of iron armor was placed on his body.
Li Chao aimed and the fuse ignited.
The rifle shot with a snap.
The target opposite shook for a moment.
"I hit it."
Li Chao reached out and waved the smoke beside him, and took a few people over.
The shot hit the target accurately and the bullet hit the chest. The lead bullet had been flattened and even cracked, like a steamed biscuit.
As soon as I picked my hand, the bullets were pulled down.
The sound of hissing breaths rang one after another.
The bullet was pulled down, but a hole was left in the hit position.
This is iron armor.
Ordinary bows and arrows may not be able to penetrate, but the rifle bullet penetrates.
Next, Li Chao performed the three-eyed gun for them.
Almost a gun must be shot, and each shot has an amazing effect.
Su Zhi and Duluo were stunned, and their faces became pale the more they looked. But what they didn't know was that Li Chao's shooting skills were actually masters in the Tang army, and only a few people such as Niu Jianhu were more accurate than his shooting skills. The Tang army with more numbers did not have such a level.
Moreover, the muskets that Li Chao used to perform in his hand did not refer to the muskets equipped. Although they were both rifles and three-eyed guns, they were made with craftsmanship and masters. The materials and craftsmanship were specially made, so the range and accuracy of this gun were stronger.
But Su Zhi and Duluo thought it was true and thought that the Tang army was equipped with all these firearms, and were shocked.
"The Tang Dynasty can now produce 100,000 firearms per month. As long as you are willing, the entire army can be equipped with firearms at any time."
"Under the muskets and cannons of our Tang Dynasty, no one can beat them!"
Li Chao is not afraid of blowing his cowhide.
But Su Zhi and Duluo really believed it.
Because they saw with their own eyes that the cannon hit the opposite side of the river with one shot, and could even hit the high walls built by the exercise.
And the muskets, row after row, could not stand it even if they were covered with iron.
They didn't know that what they saw was not all true.
The musket ferry is indeed very powerful when it is fired, but after several shots, you have to wait for the barrel to cool down. Moreover, the output of muskets is not so high, the production capacity is not so large, and the cost is actually much higher than that of ordinary swords and guns.
Artillery is not that simple either.
Moreover, the firearm is greatly affected by the weather. If it is strong wind and rainy weather, it cannot be used at all.
Using firearms at night is easy to be exposed, etc.
Moreover, the firearm has a short range and poor accuracy.
Of course, the advantages of firearms are also very obvious. When a numerical advantage is formed, their lethality is also very strong and not weaker than crossbows, but the training time of soldiers is greatly reduced.
But Li Chao will definitely not tell them all.
They only think that the firearm is really powerful.
"To express my welcome to you, I will give you two, one three-eyed gun." Li Chao waved with a smile, and the guard brought two three-eyed guns.
Li Chao picked it up and gave one to each of them.
The two pieces given away were carefully crafted by the old craftsman, and their performance was much higher than that of ordinary mass-produced ones.
Li Chao personally introduced to them how to use it, and then gave him some bullets and gunpowder.
The two of them couldn't help but test the shooting immediately. After firing a few shots, they found it was really good. It's not that it was so powerful. After all, they were just single-handed, and no matter how powerful the firearm was, they were far less than the crossbow. But the feeling of shooting was unparalleled.
Listening to the loud bang of the musket, watching the smoke and fireworks spewing out, and feeling the huge vibration in your hands, this kind of experience is definitely not something that a crossbow can achieve.
The military parade is over.
Su Zhi and Duluo had already given up their little thoughts when they came. They no longer dared to negotiate terms with the Tang Dynasty, and they did not dare to bargain.
The 20,000 Tang Divine Machinery Army has already made them feel tremendous pressure. They brought 60,000 troops, but they were unsure when facing these 20,000 Shenji Army.
Li Chao held a welcome banquet in his father's castle.
The dishes on the table were quite rich, mainly from mountain delicacies, wild game, deer, wild boar, rabbit, etc., as well as mushrooms, fish caught in the river. My father’s chef was good, and he came from Li’s house.
The dishes were prepared in a room, which were rich and delicious.
The Hu people such as Su Zhi and Duluo almost ate their tongues.
"This territory is my father's title. I hope that the Xi and Khitan tribes can live in peace with my father in the future and not invade my father's territory. If such a misunderstanding really occurs at that time, it will be bad."
"We must restrain our respective tribesmen and never let them cross the line." Su Zhi patted his chest and said, "Can the Li family's fiefdom be indiscriminately? If it attracts Li Chao to retaliate, it will be deadly."
Li Chao smiled, "It's not like that. As long as it's not robbery or harassment, but comes to trade, we are still very welcome. You have also seen that market shops will be established here in the future. At that time, all kinds of goods from the Central Plains will be shipped. Everyone is welcome to come and trade. This way, everyone can share their own and enjoy the convenience and beauty of life. Isn't that better? This is better than fighting and killing tens of millions of times."
"Okay, okay." The Hu chiefs nodded repeatedly. After seeing the power of the Tang army, whoever is stupid will come to invade.
While eating and chatting, Li Chao, Su Zhi and Duluo, and the Duke of the Luo County, Xi and Khitans reached many terms for trade, such as what is prohibited for trading, and the tariffs that the two tribes had to pay when they came to trade.
Overall, this agreement is relatively standardized, giving the mutual market a better foundation and agreement.
Of course, Li Chao cunningly proposed a clause, which was to give five percent of the tariffs collected by the merchants of the two tribes to the two. Su Zhi and Duluo could get half a profit.
Of course, this income only includes the tariffs paid by their respective tribes when they enter and exit the territory. As the chief of the Xi people, Su Zhi, the Xi people's merchants entered the territory for trading, and 5% of the tariffs paid would be distributed to Su Zhi. He could not receive them. Similarly, if the Khitans entered the territory for trading, 5% of the tariffs paid were distributed to Duluo.
Of course, merchants from both ethnic groups have to pay not only customs duties but also transaction taxes. But overall, it is definitely very cost-effective to come to the territory to trade. The goods provided here are more complete and guarantees are also provided. There will be no blackmail, and the prices will not be too outrageous.
For Suzhi and Duluo, this clause is simply to give them money, and they were surprised.
Of course they accept the good thing of giving money.
Li Chao said that the money was only given to them, not to the Xi and Khitan tribes.
"Thank you, my grandfather."
Both of them were so happy that they wanted to kiss Li Chao's boots again.
"If I eat meat, you have to drink soup. I, Li Chao, are not the kind of person who eats alone. I earn money together and make money together." Li Chao said generously.
After three rounds of wine.
At this time, everyone was already slightly drunk. Li Chao raised his cup and said, "We gathered here today, that's a fate. Our cooperation just now was also very good. Now I have something to bother you. I don't know if you are willing to help."
He eats people with a soft mouth, but he is soft to the hands of people with a soft mouth.
To be continued...
