At least there's hope

lingering charm, not unattractive and quite tasteful. She was just shy and timid, probably because she had heard about Li Chen's identity from Guan Zhiwei beforehand, so she acted nervously and spoke...Chapter 736 At Least There's Hope

It's not surprising that adults will defend their positions with stubborn words.

Laws should also be based on fundamental principles.

Fifty paces, for a trained cavalryman, is just a few blinks of an eye.

Moreover, the Liao Dynasty cavalry was unmatched in the world.

There used to be the Jin Dynasty that could stand against the Liao Dynasty, but in recent decades, as the power of the Liao Dynasty rose and it annexed several other tribes, controlling even more fertile grasslands, the Jin Dynasty was no longer a match for the Liao Dynasty.

Not to mention the Qin cavalry, they were basically just following behind the Liao and Jin troops, eating their dust.

But how fast does it matter

The tactical idea of a three-volley burst, coupled with the weapon in Li Chen's hand that shouldn't exist in this era, is a devastating tool capable of sweeping across all grassland cavalry.

Yelü Guzanqi's face was grim, which was understandable.

Seeing his intimidation work, Li Chen was very satisfied.

Of course, Li Chen didn't break his promise about the table of food. Otherwise, he would have to feed Yelu Guzanqi with two steamed buns every day again. When someone from Liao arrived to take him back, they would only be able to take Yelu Guzanqi's skeleton frame home.

Yelü Guzanqi walked away with a complicated mind, and here Su Zhetong couldn't help himself.

"Your Highness, this item, this item is truly a divine weapon!"

Su Zhen's tactical acumen is no worse than anyone else's, and his familiarity with ancient warfare far surpasses Li Chen by many streets.

So he immediately saw the impact that the weapon in Li Chen's hand and the newly proposed tactical strategy would have on the war.

But Li Chen waved his hand and splashed him with a basin of cold water.

"The general shouldn't be too optimistic."

“This item is extremely difficult to manufacture. It can only be handcrafted today. Even the most skilled artisans in the Ministry of Industry would take ten or even half a month to make one. The intricate details are handled only by Song Yingxing, such as the rifling inside the barrel and the making of the bullets. Not only is it expensive, but it also takes a lot of manpower.”

"What I just said was intentionally shown to Yelü Guzanqi. When he knows, the Liao Kingdom will also know. This way, the Liao Kingdom will be more wary, and Da Qin will be safer."

"Until that day, when manufacturing technology is improved, this thing will have the possibility of becoming popular."

Li Chen's understanding of firearms was not extensive, but he knew that the rifling was a meticulously crafted process.

Otherwise, the gun prototypes that existed in Ming and early Qing dynasties would not have remained underdeveloped for so long. One major hurdle was rifling.

Without a foundation of machine industry, relying solely on hand-crafting bullets would be impossible to guarantee production standards. Even if it were possible to produce them, the ballistic stability of firearms would vary greatly.

This is also why Song Yingxing delayed the delivery for several days.

Su Zhen's blood immediately cooled considerably after being doused with this bucket of cold water.ago, we, the Guza, can also do today."But the Tianshan Mountains are impassable, this would be an extremely dangerous journey, and it is possible that the entire army could be wiped out on the way.
