Du Qi turned his gaze to Fang Yiai and said, "Minister Fang, the two hundred sheep have arrived. Next, it's up to you to perform. I hope these rifles won't disappoint me. "
"I won't disappoint Your Majesty!"
Fang Yiai nodded and looked at the soldiers under him with a serious expression.
Fang Yiai didn't mobilize all the soldiers, only two hundred of them. He ordered, "Everyone, listen up. Check your magazines and aim at the flock of sheep in front. Once the flock of sheep moves, prepare to fire."
"Yes!"
The two hundred soldiers responded in unison.
The two hundred soldiers were divided into four rows, with their positions staggered. They half-squatted on the ground and aimed ahead.
This scene surprised Zhao Tianxin, Luo Binwang, and Liu Che, because they didn't understand what this meant. What kind of mysterious weapon was this? How was it going to be demonstrated? One had to know that the flock of sheep was three hundred steps away from the soldiers. If they fired the cannons, there was still a chance. However, with these strange weapons, they didn't know if they could succeed.
The few of them waited quietly. After all, they didn't know what was going on and didn't understand this at all.
At this moment, as the shepherd waved his whip, the two hundred sheep started to spread out and slowly moved forward. After the two hundred sheep spread out, there was a large flock of sheep. Moreover, because they were moving, it wasn't easy to take them down.
This was the movement of a simulated human.
Although it wasn't as agile as a human, it was at least constantly moving. In the eyes of Zhao Tianxin and the others, taking down this flock of sheep was an extremely difficult task.
Fang Yiai was already a veteran on the battlefield. After seeing this scene, he didn't waste any time and ordered, "Fire!"
After the order was given, the soldiers who were already prepared opened fire.
The soldiers had already taken aim. This was especially so for this batch of soldiers who came to Great Qin's Xia Xia. They were all elites in the army and were all sharpshooters. At a distance of five to six hundred steps, it wasn't easy to aim. Moreover, there were many distractions, so it wasn't easy to shoot.
The distance of less than three hundred steps wasn't difficult for these soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The sound of gunfire continued to ring out.
Gunshots rang out and bullets were fired.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the shooting scene. Zhao Tianxin's eyes were wide open. After all, Zhao Tianxin had pledged his allegiance to Du Qi later on. He also knew that Du Qi came from Xia Xia, so his status was different.
However, he found it hard to believe that such a weapon existed.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianxin's pupils shrank.
As far as his eyes could see, the flock of sheep two hundred paces away began to flop. One sheep after another fell to the ground. There were also many sheep that were injured and fell to the ground, bleating incessantly.
This scene shocked Zhao Tianxin.
Between two hundred and three hundred steps, he could shoot directly or even kill directly.
This was too terrifying.
To put it bluntly, if Xia Xia and the Ming Kingdom went to war a few years ago, and Xia Xia directly used such a weapon, the Ming Kingdom would not be able to resist at all.
Killing someone was too easy.
The sound of gunshots rang out one after another. More and more gunshots rang out.
The flock of sheep gradually became chaotic.
However, the goats that fell fell one by one, like dumplings.
There were no sheep that could move forward at all.
After a while, the shooting stopped. Although there were still many sheep alive, there were also many that died. The slaughter of this flock of sheep had already shocked everyone to the core.
Zhao Tianxin let out a long sigh of relief and said, "My king, what weapon is this? It's so powerful."
Du Qi looked at Fang Yiai and nodded.
Fang Yiai explained, "This weapon, as I said just now, is called the Type 38 Rifle. However, when I said it just now, you didn't take it to heart. The advantage of this rifle is that it can be used in positional warfare. When two armies attack, it can rely on rifles, grenades, and long-range artillery shells to maximize the attack. Not to mention defense, it can be impenetrable. If it's an attack, it can continuously shoot the enemy. "
"Hiss!!"
Zhao Tianxin was a wise man.
After thinking for a while, he already understood.
He completely understood in his heart.
Liu Che and Luo Binwang were also shocked.
Luo Binwang was originally from Xia Xia's territory. He said in shock, "General Fang, if Xia Xia's weapons have already reached this level? It's actually so powerful. "
Fang Yiai smiled and said, "The weapons today are changing with each passing day. They are developing extremely quickly. In fact, Xia Xia's development can be said to be ahead of any other country. Xia Xia's weapons and strength are all second to none. No one can compete with Xia Xia. Because Xia Xia's development is so fast, His Majesty arranged for me to send over the new weapons, manufacturing equipment, and craftsmen. "
Zhao Tianxin heard this and was secretly relieved.
Luckily, he followed Du Qi.
Xia Xia's weapons were too powerful. He couldn't even predict what kind of weapons and strength Xia Xia had in his territory.
Zhao Tianxin thought for a moment and said, "My king, since we have such weapons now. The first thing is to immediately start manufacturing and building an arsenal. The second thing is to send this army to the frontline to assist Yan Three in attacking the Southern Nation. After all, the Southern Nation is not weak. With this batch of rifles, we will definitely be able to win easily. "
Liu Che said, "My king, I agree."
Fang Yiai was originally from the pro-war faction. Especially when it came to Xia Xia, he wanted his soldiers to be able to display their strengths. Therefore, before Du Qi made the arrangements, Fang Yiai took the initiative and said, "My king, I would like to go to war."
Du Qi said, "I will go with you to the frontline. In this battle, I want to see the combat power of these eight hundred soldiers. Moreover, there aren't many things going on behind the scenes. Everything is going well. "
"Thank you, my king!"
Fang Yiai instantly became excited.
When he thought about how his eight hundred soldiers could make a name for themselves, he was extremely excited.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Du Qi looked at Liu Che and ordered, "Liu Che, contact Jin Wuque and be in charge of building the arsenal. All the personnel in the arsenal must be kept confidential. All the weapons must be marked. Nothing can be missed. "
"Yes!"
Liu Che immediately replied.
If he could be in charge of this, it would be his opportunity.
Fang Yiai also told Liu Che about the situation of the craftsmen and equipment. When the time came, Liu Che would be able to directly contact them and there wouldn't be any problems.
Du Qi delegated the matters of the arsenal to Fang Yiai and let him rest in the army for the time being. Then, he went straight back to the palace. After all, he was going to the frontline to watch the battle this time. He needed to inform Li Yanyun and the others.
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Du Qi dressed neatly under the care of Li Yanyun and Qianxue. He left the palace and went straight to the barracks. When Du Qi arrived at the barracks, he brought Fang Yiai and set off towards the border between Xia Xia and the Southern Nation.
