Chapter 700: Hot Weapons Debut(1/2)
Moreover, the development of Yizhou firearms to this point includes more than just primitive rifles. A large number of grenades and incendiary bombs have been produced.
Among those 10,000 riflemen, there were also 1,000 bombardiers.
With these ten thousand people around, as long as there were enough guns and ammunition, Li Min would not panic at all even if he faced hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops.
Moreover, the development of firearms in Yizhou is not limited to this.
That kind of simple mortar has been manufactured, and its strike range can be extended to several miles away.
Moreover, even cannons have been developed.
Currently, it is being assembled on the steel chariot.
At the same time, cannons were being assembled on the giant ship.
Once assembly is completed, China City's steel chariots will be officially upgraded to tanks.
The original steel chariot was already invincible.
But apart from the roads, there are still certain flaws.
For example, in fact, the attack power of the steel chariot still has certain flaws.
Forehead……
Well, there is always a sense of nitpicking.
The attack power of the Iron Chariot uses powerful crossbows, which are actually very powerful.
It's just that after installing a cannon and a rifle, the attack power is even stronger.
Moreover, in this way, the tank officially has the function of ultra-long-range strike and city destruction.
A hundred tanks moved out in a row and blasted against the city wall.
With just a few cannons, a city wall can be blown down.
This kind of scene is very touching when I think about it.
Of course, this kind of steel chariot is currently being modified.
And all of them stayed in Huaxia City.
This time during the Western Expedition, Li Min did not bring a steel chariot.
Because there are trains here, goods can be transported quickly.
Moreover, this is the first time that firearms have appeared. Heavy weapons such as tanks do not need to be shown now.
This time, Li Min personally led the expedition, and he led two generals, Xue Rengui and Wang Fangyi.
In addition, Xi Junmai was ordered to stay and take charge.
Xi Junmai was originally a general of the Tang Dynasty, but he was unknown among the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
In the original historical trajectory, Xi Junmai once led 800 cavalry to defeat the Tuyuhun rebellion and achieved great achievements.
It's a pity that there are many powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty, and Xi Junmai has no backing, so it will be ignored later. Even the history books do not have too many records about him.
But in this life, because of Li Min's appearance, he has lost even this achievement.
But Li Min, the king of Shu, regarded him very highly and used him heavily since he met him.
It can be said that the King of Shu was kind to him.
As for Xi Junmai, he also had the mentality of treating the King of Shu with the mentality that a scholar will die for his confidant.
Back then, the King of Shu was named the King of Huaxia and when he came to the Golden State, Xi Jun followed the King of Huaxia and came to the Golden State together.
When he first came here, Xi Junmai never expected that Huaxia City would develop to what it is today.
He came with him in the first place solely to repay the kindness of the King of China.
But now it seems that the King of China will soon be able to build a huge empire.
And he was one of the first people to defect to the King of China, and he was also a highly regarded general by the King of China.
In the future, being granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister will be just around the corner.
This time, Li Min asked Xi Junmai to stay and guard.
However, his journey has actually just begun.
Now it's just the expedition to the west.
After arriving, several generals will naturally take turns taking breaks.
Naturally, there will be a place for Xi Jun to use it.
This time, since Li Min brought three generals, he simply divided them into three groups.
The first line, led by Xi Junmai, attacked directly to the west in Huaxia City.
The second line, led by Xue Rengui, is in the middle and attacks and responds to both sides.
The third line, led by Li Min himself, attacked from the dock to the middle.
If it were in the past, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai might still be worried about the safety of the city lord.
However, over the years, the city lord has led his troops on numerous expeditions, and every time they returned triumphantly, there was never any danger.
They no longer worry about this.
This time, Li Min left four thousand musketeers for Xi Junmai, and he and Xue Rengui led three thousand musketeers respectively.
Of course, although they are divided into three groups, the attack time is the same.
The train can reach the pier from Huaxia City in less than a day.
Therefore, they will launch a three-pronged attack on the Family Alliance at the same time the next day.
It took half a day for Li Min to lead an army of 30,000 people to the dock.
After getting off the dock, Li Min summoned the person in charge of the dock here.
The person in charge’s name is Zhao Da.
Zhao Da's responsibility is to manage the dock here.
Responsible for the transportation of cargo to and from ships, as well as the storage of cargo.
Of course, his job is definitely more than just these.
His job also includes collecting intelligence about nearby areas.
Zhao Da was placed in such an important position after many layers of screening.
However, in the past, things at this dock were just the transportation of goods.
At that time, there was no information worth collecting around.
But now, with the expansion of the family, everything is different.
The information about the expansion of the Zhao family is the focus of their intelligence collection.
This Zhao Da couldn't help but trembled with excitement when he heard that it was the Lord of the City who summoned him personally.
It turns out that Zhao Da came to Golden State from Tang Dynasty following Li Min.
The person he most admired and admired in his life was the King of Shu, Li Min.
The reason why he went to the Golden State was entirely due to the personal charm of Shu King Li Min.
However, this Zhao Da had seen Shu King Li Min from a distance.
But he had never met the King of Shu face to face or said a single word.
After arriving in Golden State, after many rounds of selection, Zhao Da was selected and assigned to the dock.
And Zhao Da lived up to expectations and managed the dock in an orderly manner.
Zhao Da also has another mission, which is to collect intelligence.
However, this place has always been deserted. Where is there any important information that needs to be collected on weekdays?
And Zhao Da has never slacked off.
It wasn't until the Family Alliance began an all-out attack on the entire Golden State that Zhao Da's intelligence work had a real goal.
This alliance of aristocratic families treats the aboriginal people very harshly.
But when it comes to Huaxia City, as well as Huaxia City's railways and docks, they dare not go too far.
The reason why they dared to expand so wildly was because they had correctly calculated that the population of Huaxia City was seriously insufficient.
The population problem will be the biggest problem restricting their development.
But they did not expect that they would single-handedly push all 20 million aborigines into the embrace of Huaxia City.
The population problem is no longer a problem restricting their development.
They thought that because of the population problem, Huaxia City would not do anything to them even if they saw their crazy expansion.
Because Huaxia City's population is severely underpopulated, we can only watch their expansion without any solution.
