Congratulations to Mocui for being promoted to fifth on the fan list After the infantry platooned their guns, the cavalry appeared.
In front of the cavalry, a target was also erected.
Su Zhi thought that the cavalry must rush up and cut with a knife.
Or rather, a mounted shot in front of the target.
What they never expected was that the Tang cavalry did not rush quickly, their formation was well maintained, and when they were not far from the target, they stopped their horses, and then each of them took out a musket.
This musket was shorter than the musket of the infantry of the Don Army.
Riding directly on a horse and facing the target is a volley, and after firing a shot, it starts to fire again.
Su Zhi looked very carefully and shot a total of three times.
"Three consecutive shots" Su Zhi exclaimed.
Li Chao said with a smile on the side, "This is a special firearm for our cavalry, a three-eyed gun, which can be fired three times in a row." ” The gunfire stopped, and the target was staggered and riddled with bullet marks.
Su Zhi and Lu Luo looked at each other.
This firearm is too powerful, I feel that although it may not be as fast as cavalry shooting, nor may it be as long as cavalry shooting, but if at this distance, if it is hit by such a fierce musket from the Tang Army, the lethality will definitely be stronger than that of cavalry shooting.
And these cavalrymen did not only have muskets, they also saw some cavalry with double prongs, with a riding bow on one side and an arrow on the other.
They also had lances and spears.
These Tang horses can be ridden and shot from afar, muskets can be used closely, and there are lances and sabers when they are close.
This is simply armed to the teeth, and their tribal cavalry will definitely suffer when they encounter such a Tang army.
There was another queue drill, and Su Zhi and Duluo, as well as the chieftains and generals under their respective commands, looked pale.
I thought that they were also very strong.
But now that I see it with my own eyes, it's really too far away.
Li Chao secretly looked at the faces of the two of them, and was very satisfied.
This performance is not an exposure of strength.
On the contrary, the performance is better than these people, but it can greatly deter them.
"Take the gun, come to the prime minister, and perform for the two guests in person" Li Chao shouted with a laugh.
Someone brought a rifle and a three-eyed gun.
Li Chao first picked up a Great Wall type, "This is the Great Wall type musket, also known as the infantry musket, referred to as a rifle." ” With the gun in hand, Li Chao was very skillful in loading ammunition, and then aimed with the gun.
Thirty paces in front of him was a wooden man with a layer of iron armor.
Li Chao aimed, and the arquebus ignited.
The rifle snapped and fired.
The target on the opposite side shook a little.
"Hit."
Li Chao stretched out his hand and waved the gunsmoke next to him, and led 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 cracker.
As soon as the hand is pulled, the bullet is pulled off.
The hissing inhales sounded one after another.
The bullet was cut off, but the place where it hit left a hole.
It's ironclad.
Ordinary bows and arrows may not be able to penetrate, but this rifle bullet does.
Next, Li Chao performed the three-eyed gun for them again.
It's almost a sure shot, and every shot is amazingly effective.
Su Zhi and Duluo were dumbfounded, and the more they looked at them, the whiter their faces became.
It's just that what they don't know is that in fact, Li Chao's marksmanship is a master in the Tang Army, and only a few people such as Niu Jianhu are more accurate than him.
More Tang troops do not have such a level.
Moreover, the musket that Li Chao held in his hand for performance did not refer to the musket that was equipped.
Although it is the same rifle and the same three-eyed gun, it is made by precision and refined by masters.

The materials and craftsmanship are all specialized, so the range and accuracy of this gun are stronger.
But Su Zhi and Duluo thought that seeing was believing, and thought that the Tang Army was equipped with all this kind of firearms, and they were shocked in their hearts.
"Datang is now able to produce 100,000 firearms per month, and as long as he wants, he can equip the whole army with firearms at any time."
"Under the muskets and artillery of my Datang, no one is invincible" Li Chao is not afraid to blow the cowhide out.
But Suzhi and Elo really believed it.
Because they saw with their own eyes, the artillery, with one shell, could even hit behind the high wall of the exercise.
And the muskets, row after row, can be continuous, and they really can't withstand even the whole body covered with iron.
They don't know that what they see is not all true.
The musket platoon was indeed loud, but after firing several shots in a row, it was necessary to wait for the barrel to cool.
Moreover, the output of muskets is not so high, the production capacity is not so large, and even the cost is much higher than that of ordinary knives and guns.
Artillery is not so simple.
Moreover, firearms are extremely affected by the weather, and if it is windy and rainy, they cannot be used at all.
Firearms are used at night, and they are easy to be exposed.
Moreover, firearms have a short range and poor accuracy.
Of course, the advantage of firearms is also obvious, when a numerical advantage is formed, its lethality is also very strong, not weaker than the bow and crossbow, but the time for soldier training is greatly reduced.
But Li Chao will definitely not tell them.
They just thought that firearms were really powerful.
"As a sign of welcome to the two of you, I will present you with a three-eyed gun."
Li Chao smiled and beckoned, and the guards brought up two three-eyed guns.
Li Chao picked it up and gave one by one.
The two gifts are carefully built by the old craftsman, and their performance is much higher than that of ordinary mass production.
Li Chao personally introduced to them how to use it, and then gave him some bullets and gunpowder.
The two couldn't help but immediately test fire, fired a few shots, and found that it was indeed very cool.
It's not that it's powerful, after all, it's just a one-handed one-on-one thing, and no matter how powerful a firearm is, it's far inferior to a bow and crossbow.
But this feeling of firing a gun is incomparable.
Listening to the loud banging of muskets, watching the smoke and fireworks erupt, and feeling the huge vibration in your hands, this kind of experience is by no means achievable with a bow and crossbow.
The parade is over.
Su Zhi and Du Luo have already dispelled the little caution they had when they came.
They no longer dare to negotiate terms with Datang, nor do they dare to bargain.
The 20,000 Tang Divine Machine Army has already made them feel tremendous pressure.
They brought 60,000 troops, but they were not sure when they faced these 20,000 divine machine troops.
Li Chao held a welcome banquet in his father's castle.
At the banquet, the dishes are very rich, all of them are mountain delicacies, deer, wild boar, rabbits, etc., as well as mushrooms, fish caught in the river, Dad's chef is good, from Li Mansion.
The dishes in the hall are rich and delicious.
The Hu people such as Su Zhi and Du Luo, who ate it, almost ate their tongues.
"This territory is my father's fiefdom, I hope that in the future, the Xi and Khitan clans can live in peace with my father and not encroach on my father's territory, if there is such a misunderstanding, it will not be good."
"We must restrain our respective clansmen and never let them cross the line."
Su Zhi patted his chest and said, can the Li family's fiefdom mess around, in case it attracts Li Chaobing's retaliation, it will be fatal.
Li Chao smiled, "It's not like that, as long as it's not to loot and harass, but to trade, we're still very welcome."
As you can see, in the future, market shops will be set up here, and all kinds of Central Plains goods will be shipped at that time, and everyone is welcome to come and trade.
In this way, wouldn't it be better for everyone to communicate with each other and enjoy the convenience and beauty of life, which is better than fighting and killing thousands of times. ” "Good, good."
Chief Hu nodded again and again, and after seeing the might of the Tang Army, whoever was stupid would come to invade.
While eating and chatting, Li Chao soon reached many terms with Su Zhi and Lu Luo on the trade between the Duke of Shangluo County and the Xi and Khitan ethnic groups, such as what is prohibited from trading, and such as the tariffs to be paid by the two clans when they come to trade.
Generally speaking, this agreement is relatively standardized, so that the mutual market has a better basis and agreement.
Of course, Li Chao took the initiative to propose a clause very cunningly, that is, from the tariffs collected by the merchants of the two ethnic groups, another five percent would be given to the two of them.

Su Zhi and Duluo can get half of the income.
Of course, this benefit only includes the customs duties paid by their respective clansmen when they enter and leave the territory.
Su Zhi is the chief of the Xi people, and the Xi merchants enter the territory to trade, and 5% of the customs duties paid will be distributed to Su Zhi.
He of the Khitans could not receive it.
In the same way, the Khitans traded in the territory and paid 5 percent of the customs duties to the Ara.
Of course, merchants of the two clans had to pay not only customs duties but also transaction taxes when they entered the territory.
But on the whole, it must be very cost-effective to trade in the territory, the goods provided here are more complete, and guarantees are also provided, so there will be no blackmail and other situations, and the price will not be too outrageous.
For Su Zhi and Duluo, this clause was simply to send them money, and they were unexpectedly surprised.
Sending money is a good thing, of course they accept.
Li Chao said that the money was only for them, not for the Xi and Khitan clans.
"Thank you."
Both of them were so happy that they couldn't wait to kiss Li Chao's boots again.
"I eat meat, you also have to drink soup, I, Li Chao, am not the kind of person who eats alone, I have money to earn together, and I have wealth to make together."
Li Chao said very boldly.
Three rounds of drinking.
At this time, everyone was already slightly drunk, Li Chao raised his cup and said, "We are gathered here today, it is fate, our cooperation just now is also very good, now I have something I want to bother the next two, I don't know if the two of you are willing to help." ” Eat people with soft mouths, take people with soft hands.
The two of them, who had just received many benefits from Li Chao, also patted their chests very boldly, "Although the prime minister has something to do, we will definitely make a strong contribution."
"Well, that's what I want from you.
That's the case, the Turks have repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty, which is very hateful.
Now that the Turks are in civil strife, Tiele stands on his own in the north, and Mohedu rebels in the west, this is the opportunity for my Tang Dynasty, and it is also an opportunity for you to get rid of the enslavement that the Turks have been enslaved to you, so the prime minister decided to take this opportunity to send troops to Mobei and conquer the valley of desire."
"Xiangye needs us to send troops to help in the war," Su Zhi asked.
"Why, don't you want to" Li Chao asked with a smile.
"No, we didn't mean that."
Luo Luo didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately patted his chest and said, "We have long been fed up with the enslavement of the Turkic wolf cubs, and there is a Tang Dynasty willing to come out to crusade against the Turks for us, and we are too late to be happy." ” Su Zhi also expressed his willingness to send troops to assist.
"It's just a desire valley, I don't need the two of you to send troops, and I Datang can completely take it.
But since you also have a feud with the Turks, I will also give you the opportunity to take revenge yourself.
In this way, we don't need to transfer troops anymore, I have 20,000 divine machine troops here, and you have also brought 30,000 cavalry each, which adds up to 80,000 troops, which is enough to fight the valley of desire. ” Su Zhi and Duluo did not expect that the Tang army only sent 20,000, and they became the main force.
"That Xiangguo, what should I do after defeating Desire Valley?"
Li Chao smiled, "After the Valley of Desire is set up, the land and population of Mo Nan will all belong to the Tang Dynasty, cattle, sheep, livestock, and goods, and the three families will divide it, the Tang Dynasty will take half of it, and the two of you will take half of it, how about it?"
There is no doubt that the two families suffered a lot from this dividing condition, they sent the most troops, but as a result, they got the least, and the important land and population were not shared.
The two were a little hesitant.
Li Chao sneered.
"If you feel embarrassed, then forget it, in fact, Desire Valley is now alone in Monan, and all the people are soldiers, and they can't afford to gather 100,000 people.
I don't need to recruit other soldiers and horses, just my 20,000 divine army can destroy him.
At that time, the population, land, livestock, and goods will all belong to the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no need to divide them. ” "Say yes?"
Su Zhi and the others looked at each other, hesitated for a while, but gritted their teeth and agreed.
"Okay, just listen to Xiangye, we will send troops to help the war" t1706231537:
