Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 490

[Chapter 490]

“Let’s go and find the bullet together.” Feeling the slight tingling pain on his shoulder, Zhao Xu was a little excited.

Obviously, rifled guns have more recoil than flintlock guns.

This is enough to show that the power of the gun has increased.

In fact, Wang Ying and others have already experimented with rifled guns.

The power of rifled guns is clear.

But in order not to disappoint King Yan, they still followed.

After walking five hundred and forty meters, one mile away, Zhao Xu found a silver-black lead bullet in the dirt.

“Hahaha, not bad, not bad.” Zhao Xu picked up the lead bullet and couldn’t help laughing.

The improved rifled gun exceeded his expectations.

The flintlock guns currently used by the royal army have a maximum range of about 250 meters.

But the effective range is only about 120 meters.

At such a distance, the archers have not yet formed an absolute advantage.

But this time the rifled gun was different.

With a maximum range of more than 500 meters, the effective shooting distance should be around 230 meters.

And most importantly, rifled guns have been greatly improved in accuracy compared to smoothbore guns.

When shooting at each other, soldiers equipped with rifled guns can kill more enemies in one wave.

At the same time, the emergence of rifled guns can also bring about changes in firearms tactics.

In the future, the royal army can train a group of stragglers.

These skirmishers can move flexibly on the battlefield and kill the opponent’s soldiers.

“The officer has tested it. Within 235 meters, the projectile can penetrate the wooden board. It is not a problem to kill the enemy on the battlefield.” Wang Ying said something, verifying Zhao Xu’s guess.

“Very good, since that’s the case, let’s start improving the flintlock guns in batches now.” Zhao Xu returned the rifled guns to Wang Ying.

At present, the situation facing Yanzhou is still very serious.

Beidi is a powerful grassland empire.

Although he won three battles with Beidi, he also killed and wounded many Beidi soldiers.

However, Beidi is a powerful country that even Dasong cannot deal with.

Lost twice, three times, unable to shake its foundation.

Now that Beidi is suppressing everything against him, it is impossible for him to worry about nothing.

After all, Dasong is currently an internal and external trouble, not a purely foreign trouble.

This made him face Beidi alone.

Therefore, without an absolute advantage, he had to hold his heart.

But if the rifled guns were installed in the royal army, the situation would be different.

For him, Ningjin Dusi will no longer be a forbidden place that he cannot set foot on.

It’s the fat that he can take a bite of at any time.

“Yes, Your Highness, but the steam engine must be given to the military commander first.” Wang Ying still forgot this.

When Wang Chong bragged about the steam engine to him, he yearned for it.

Given this opportunity, he naturally refused to let it go.

“This matter is very urgent. You first use manpower and a steam engine to build it, and it will be delivered.” Zhao Xu said.

Although the steam engine experiment was successful, it has not yet produced a practical one.

However, from Wang Ying’s enthusiasm, he could already imagine what kind of sensation the steam engine would cause when it was officially put into use.

…

Jincheng.

Mu Lehong is really inspecting the Jincheng camp.

For the past few days, his mood has been very good, and he has changed from being depressed.

Ulan Ba was by his side, and Ivan was talking to Mule Hongzhen.

“The thing that King Yan used should be a hot air balloon. My God, it’s incredible that he could make such a thing.” Ivan opened his mouth wide in surprise.

After he proposed the plan to poison Yanguan, Mu Le Hongzhen became more friendly to him.

Today, he also described the battle of Xiancheng and the things flying in the sky.

“Can you make it?” Mule Hongzhen heard that, his eagle eyes fixed on Ivan.

Shaking his head, Ivan said: “I’ve only seen them, but I don’t know how they were made.”

Mu Lehong really showed a disappointed look, “You Europa people are nothing more than that, you might as well praise a Yan King.”

“You King Yan must have a missionary like me assisting him, otherwise he would not be able to create these things.” Ivan said.

During this period of time in Jincheng, the name of King Yan kept spreading to his ears.

He already knew that it was the King of Yan who created the cannon, then the musket, and now even the hot air balloon.

But to him, it was impossible for the King of Yan to create these things independently.

Because this place, like the New World, is a barren land.

They don’t even understand that the earth is round.

“Perhaps so,” Mueller Hongzhen said.

It is impossible for a crazy and foolish king of Yan to arrive in Yanzhou, and now sit firmly in Yanzhou without the guidance of an expert.

But if this is the case, the people around King Yan are much better than Ivan.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but have the urge to send envoys to Ross.

If he could find someone stronger than Ivan, he might be able to defeat King Yan.

But Ivan is also good, he seems to be more proficient in medicine than casting cannons.

Just as he was thinking, a cavalryman hurried up.

“Khan, there are pirates who claim to be Wufeng Island asking to see you.” The cavalry said.

“Wufeng Island?” Mu Lehong frowned.

Ulan Ba said: “Father Khan, Wufeng Island is a powerful pirate, and the merchant ships of the Korean people have to pay them for the journey.”

When he was in Korea, he heard about the deeds of Wufeng Island.

Now that Wufeng Island came to him, he realized that it must be related to the Black Shark pirates.

“Really?” Mu Lehong also thought of something, “Let them in.”

Not long after, a thin man was brought in by the cavalry.

There are two young pirates behind the man.

“Hua Chen, deputy island master of Wufeng Island, see Khan.” The leader said with his hands clasped.

Mu Lehong really squinted at Hua Chen, “What’s the purpose of your coming here, let’s just say it straight.”

“Khan is such a joyful person.” Hua Chen said loudly.

After receiving the order from the island owner Lu Zheng, he led people from the sea to Ningjindusi.

However, the black shark pirates patrolled closely, and several of their warships were sunk.

But the sea is huge, and the warships of the Black Shark pirates cannot control every place after all.

His battleship still escaped the battleship of the Black Shark pirates.

“Khan must be very aware of the recent black shark pirates. We Wufeng Island wants to join hands with Beidi to destroy the black shark pirates.” Hua Chen said.

Mule Hongzhen and Ulanba looked at each other.

Hundreds of thousands of Beidi soldiers were buried in the sea, which was an unforgettable pain for him and Ulan Ba.

They naturally hated the Black Shark Pirates to death.

“But we don’t have warships in Beidi, don’t you know?” Ulan Ba said.

“Beidi doesn’t have it, but Goryeo has it, as long as Khan is willing to let Goryeo Navy and Wufeng Island encircle and suppress the black shark.” Hua Chen said.

Mule Hongzhen and Ulanba looked at each other again.

The poisoning plan is aimed at Yanguan, but the black shark pirates at sea will not be affected.

Now, since Wufeng Island came forward to wipe out the black shark pirates, they would naturally join in.

And this is also the first step in their demise of King Yan.

Hey, shame on me, I failed again, I will break through chapter four tomorrow.
