Li Hanzhang is very hateful.

Lu Yi ignored him and reached out and patted the wooden board.

Although it is not particularly strong, it is not bad. Ordinary soldiers wearing leather armor may not be stronger than this wooden board. As for the elite wearing iron armor... Lu Yi saw several targets covered with iron armor. At this time, there were several small holes in the iron armor, and smoke was faintly emitted from the hole.

"It's gunpowder, right?" Lu Yi asked: "Can the Han court produce gunpowder on a large scale?"

Li Zhen didn't expect Lu Yi to react so quickly and was a little stunned.

Lu Yi turned around and stayed away from the targets, sighed, and slowly said: "Last year and the previous year, my fleet in Jiangdong had only had several frictions with your ships on the sea east of Linhai County. At that time, you used pottery pots that made the soldiers throw fire, hung them on the headmast with long poles and ropes, and then burned the suspended rope and fell and exploded thunderbolts, causing countless casualties and ships to be captured. The sea affairs were insignificant, and we did not dare to start a war against you because of this, but some things would always have some traces."

Lu Yi said slowly, heading towards the aisle left on the edge of the empty field.

Behind him, the weird weapons mounted on the cart made a second roar, and more targets were broken.

When the soldiers loaded gunpowder and Zike, Lei Yuan did not avoid it very far. In his opinion, gunpowder weapons of this scale were not as powerful as the holiday fireworks and salutes he was familiar with in his previous life, and the range was ridiculously shorter.

When used on the battlefield, the rushing musket is more suitable for filling the killing distance between the crossbow and the sword and gun, or cooperating with the chariot formation to form a support for the coordinated battle of infantry and cavalry. At present, it is far from supporting an army alone.

But this is enough. The appearance of such weapons here means that the Han army has not been idle at all in the past few years. This new powerful regime is continuing to invest its sufficient financial, material and full determination in the military, further enhancing the army that had been armed to the teeth.

Who would like to stand opposite to this army?

The battles over the past few years have proved that Sun Quan could not do it, nor Cao Gong could do it.

Wenpin rushed to Jiangling anxiously, proving that the new Emperor of the Great Wei and his Xiahou Cao's confidants were not good either.

Furthermore, consider that when the Jiangdong clans followed Sun Quan, they were unwilling to fight a tough battle. Will they be willing to fight against the Han army?

With Wenpin as his tentacles and vaguely tempting southward, the Hebei tribes would rather force the emperor of the Great Wei to take out the last bit of elite troops to gamble. Would they be willing to confront the Han army?

Wenpin stood at the edge of the empty field at some point. He strode forward and stood next to the vehicle equipped with a firearm. A soldier immediately stepped forward to stop him. Lei Yuan shook his head and the soldiers retreated.

Lu Yi quickly followed quickly. So the two saw that the specially-cut bamboo or logs were charred by smoke and fire on the inside of the muzzle of the muzzle. Although the gun body was protected by more than a dozen copper and iron hoops, there were also some tiny cracks or protrusions.

Wen Pin raised his hand and touched the iron hoop, and screamed because he was burned.

"Basically speaking, choosing strong high-quality wood to carefully build the barrel can withstand more than ten shots at a time. The reliability of bamboo is less, about six to seven times. However, bamboo processing is much more convenient than wood, so the two materials are used together at present."

Gao Rou and Chen Jiao came a little later, and were still a little confused at this time. Gao Rou bowed to Sima Yi and asked in a low voice: "Zhongda, what happened? How could Your Majesty suddenly get sick?"

Sima Yi sighed and took out a document from his sleeve: "Wenhui, look!"

After seeing this, Gao Rou looked pale: "Is our army defeated? Or is it such a crushing defeat?"

According to the document, the army led by Cao Zhang encountered only 5,000 Han troops in Guanzhong and was defeated in one battle. Cao Zhang, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao and others were all killed in battle. Tens of thousands of remaining soldiers fled wildly, and were chased by the Han troops at the Longmen Ferry, and suffered another defeat.

After this battle, Yan Xing and the Xianbei people, Xiao Gui Ni and others, and they carried tens of thousands of people and did not return to Yecheng, but went directly to Taiyuan and Yanmen counties where the Xianbei chief Buduan Gen was entrenched. Zhang He wrapped Cao Zhen, who was guarding Longmen, and stopped in Hedong, saying that the soldiers' morale was dispersed, and they would mutiny if they took another step.

These tens of thousands of people were the property that had been accumulated bit by bit after years of rectification of military affairs. In a chaos of these tens of thousands, the inside and outside of Yecheng was really empty. The Cao Wei regime, which occupied several states in Hebei and Central Plains, could not draw out any mobile troops.
