First Xiangming touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I wanted to study guns at first, but later I found that it is more difficult. After all, the accuracy of barrel rifling and other things requires very high precision."

"Also, the cost of bullets is too high. If you use Yuanshi and gunpowder, each bullet is equivalent to 1.5 Yuanshi."

The most critical thing is the cost of bullets, which are consumables.

Today's industrial level has not yet reached the point where the assembly line is buzzing. It is simply fantastic to think of large-scale manufacturing and equipment.

Seeing her disappointed look, Chen Tianlong asked curiously: "What if we use traditional gunpowder like in reality?"

"Insufficient kinetic energy and insufficient firing rate."

First Xiangming shook his head: "I asked Mr. Yan's humanoid machine tool to produce an anti-material firearm based on traditional gunpowder, and then tested it with death row warriors."

"The results prove that it can cause fatal damage to the middle and late stages of the coagulation realm at most, and this is based on the target's vital points being fixed."

"A warrior's perception is very keen. Once the enemy can dodge, even in the early stage of blood coagulation realm, he can easily dodge..."

Chen Tianlong lowered his head and thought carefully: "Maybe we can change our thinking."

"What?"

"Turn precision strikes into range strikes."

"Clam?"

Chen Tianlong explained with gestures: "Shooting a grenade with a gun probably has this effect. As long as the opponent cannot escape the explosion range, he will inevitably be injured."

First Xiangming understood what he meant instantly: "Grenade gun? Shotgun?"

Chen Tianlong nodded: "Uh-huh."

"That's an idea."

First Xiangming's beautiful eyes lit up, and she muttered: "The warrior's physique is also very abnormal, and the recoil does not matter. We can expand the caliber of the firearm and increase the bullet capacity..."

When she said this, her little face suddenly fell: "No way."

"The industrial level is still insufficient to produce this kind of thing in large quantities. Even humanoid machine tools like Yan Lao have failed several times."

Chen Tianlong was not disappointed and said calmly: "Write it down first and talk about it later."

The war started because of the high-level game.

But players don't care about this, or are too lazy to care about it.

They come here to play games and find excitement. They go wherever they find interesting and profitable. Who has the leisure to read political books?

With the arrival of the imperial army, a bridgehead was quickly built on the border of Congyun Mansion, and a large number of players began to pour in crazily...

This frightened the imperial reinforcements so much that they instinctively wanted to keep these guys out and prevent spies from infiltrating.

But at this time, Li Jianhui, the president of the Mercenary Guild, suddenly came to visit.

I don’t know what they talked about, but the court finally opened its doors to the players.

After all, in the eyes of the imperial court, these players are perfect cannon fodder, and they don't mind as many as they come.

Correspondingly, there are also some rebellious players who have joined the camp of the barbarians and the Liansheng Sect.

Judging from the superficial comparison of combat effectiveness, the imperial reinforcements were actually at a disadvantage.

But actually.

Because these bald donkeys in the far west have occupied a lot of territory in southern Xinjiang and are eyeing other places, the barbarians have to guard against them.

This resulted in a considerable part of the barbarian forces, and even high-level forces, being led by the monks in the far west, and they did not dare to be distracted.

As a result, the imperial reinforcements had an advantage over the forces mobilized by the barbarians.

However, the barbarians have the Red Sea Demon King, the demons as allies, and the Liansheng Sect in Congyun Mansion...

After such a comprehensive comparison, the advantage of the imperial reinforcements was gone, and the two sides formed a strange five-five balance of power.

At the beginning, Chen Xingzu, Zuo Zonghe and others consciously hid in the dark and could make a sneak attack to create opportunities for the court.

However, what they never expected was that the barbarians had been attacked by bald donkeys and had learned their lesson long ago.

The sneak attack by Chen Xingzu and others not only failed, but almost didn't come back.

Since this method didn't work, Chen Xingzu didn't bother hiding anymore and directly informed the commanders of the Zhenfu Division to prevent them from making the same mistake again.

The commander quickly changed his plan. Since a sneak attack was not possible, he would attack with force by displaying his chariots and horses.

At this point, the two sides opened up their battle lines and began a vigorous and massive war...

The collapse of the Wu Dynasty began at the top, but both their background and military quality made the barbarians more than a little stronger.

Once the war broke out between the two sides, the imperial reinforcements gained an advantage and drove the barbarians back.

Just when the reinforcements were trying to put an end to the battle as soon as possible, the complex terrain in southern Xinjiang made them suffer.

The barbarians changed their previous style, absorbed players' suggestions, and began to take advantage of the terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare with small groups of reinforcements.

As the saying goes, if you make a big effort, then it will fade away...

Although the imperial reinforcements relied on their excellent quality, they were on par with the barbarians.

But it is inevitable that it will be dragged into the whirlpool of the war, and it will be impossible to end the war for a while.

This situation is very clear and cannot be concealed.

Therefore, the commander of the Zhenfu Division naturally handed over the memorial...

…

Beijing, court meeting.

Emperor Wu appeared for the first time in months, sitting quietly on the throne.

Although Wu Chao has a solid foundation and can use genius treasures and panacea to kill him, his lifeline is still on a clear downward trend.

When he went to court today, Emperor Wu always sat in a sedan chair until the door, and was supported by Liu Fu in a vague way before he could walk to the throne.

"O ministers, please see Your Majesty."

The ministers waited for him to sit down, then slowly entered the palace and lined up to pay their respects respectfully.

Emperor Wu raised his eyelids with difficulty, revealing his dim and bloodshot eyes, and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty... please be level."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone looked at each other secretly, and then turned their attention to the gloomy-looking Crown Prince Nan Sheng next to Emperor Wu.

Of course they knew the reason why Nan Sheng looked so ugly. It was simply because the battle on the front line was not going well.

According to the laws of the Wu Dynasty, all matters such as war supplies and support must go through the Ministry of War and be submitted to the emperor based on their severity.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even the Zhenfu Division is no exception to this.

In fact, the intention of this rule is good, to prevent the governor from becoming too powerful due to his power.

But now it's a little embarrassing.

Because both the Bachelor's Pavilion and the Prime Minister's Sect have a broad network of contacts, and it is not difficult to get some information from the Six Ministries.

Therefore, after the war broke out, the memorials delivered from the front line would soon reach their ears, including yesterday's memorial.

"Ahem..."

Wei Tao coughed lightly and stepped out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard recently that the war in Cong Yun Mansion does not seem to be going well."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions changed.

The difference was that Nan Sheng's face was ashen and gloomy, while the fifth prince and others looked amused.

Emperor Wu raised his eyelids and asked calmly: "Sheng'er, is this possible?"

What is the most important thing for a king? Wisdom? Means?

No, neither.

But the mentality!!

If Nan Sheng is ashamed to talk about such a trivial matter and wants to escape from such a failure, then he is not qualified to sit on the throne of the King of God.

Nan Sheng gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice: "Report to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

Emperor Wu lowered his eyes and asked calmly: "The reason."

Nan Sheng said in a seductive voice: "The memorial states that there is the Liansheng Sect in Congyun Mansion, and there are barbarians and demons outside. The internal and external attacks have made them powerless."

"Report to Your Majesty."

At this moment, Wei Tao stood up and said respectfully: "The champion Hou once said something, and I deeply agree with it."

"The Liansheng Sect is not an organization, but a symbol, a symbol of dissatisfaction with the imperial court and evil intentions."

"As the saying goes, one kind of rice feeds all kinds of people, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The Lotus Sect is like a weed that will never be eliminated. It is impossible to eradicate it."

"The barbarians have lived in southern Xinjiang for generations. Even the champion Hou used a trick to have the monks from the far west attack with all their strength, but they were not able to completely capture it."
