"The 300,000 army is the limit for us Duoton to be able to dispatch, including 60,000 cavalry and 240,000 infantry. We still have to leave 100,000 to guard the northern border." Mariinsky also knew that since the other party had already said this, he was already trying his best to fight. He suffered losses and prospered. Mariinsky also understood this point. No one could choose, so he could only fight with his best.

"Our Kingdom can dispatch 350,000,000 cavalry, and 250,000 cavalry. The same is true for us. We must leave 100,000 people to defend the Robac tribe of Boyn. However, I decided to provide our country's most elite 50,000 iron armored cavalry to the Allied forces. If we fail, we will be successful. The victory or defeat will be decided here!" Sezerif IX also showed his decisive and resoluteness as the king of a country at this time.

"Master Pokaninski, we Kamans will never be descendants, with 400,000 people. You also know that we have to face the most powerful Door tribe of Boyn. This is our limit. Hehe, I'm going to say that if you really lose this battle, the Tang Dynasty can also drive straight into our capital, there will be no obstacles. Where are you Sisro people?" Hua Xili's eyes were shining with a blazing light, as if it was about to melt everything in front of him.

"Please rest assured, Lord Huaxili, since you have worked so hard, we Sisro people will naturally not be willing to fall behind! We will do our best to gather the 500,000 troops. We all know what this battle means. If you lose, you will be killed. If you win, you will be prosperous for a hundred years. The Sisro people will not be descendants!" Pokaninsky said proudly: "Let the Tang people come to see the bravery and strong of our Liberians. We will use our invincible iron armored cavalry and iron hooves to trample those Tang people into hell. The Liberian soldiers will teach them a good lesson."

Just when Pokaninsky and his colleagues were swearing to defend the honor of the Liberian countries with the courage and strength of the Liberian soldiers, a large training ground thirty miles outside the imperial capital was heard, and the smoke filled the entire training ground, and the pungent smell of smoke almost suffocated Wufeng. This smell was so choking. Looking at the soldiers' performance, it was obvious that they had become accustomed to this taste and did not even react abnormally.

The flagpole three hundred meters away had already been shaken, and the speeding cavalry reported the shooting results to the commanders. The small flag was shaking, and two hundred soldiers walked up in unison, lifted flat and kneeling. With the wave of the commander's small flag and the roar of the commander, "Relax!", another "bang bang bang" sounded.

Although this smell is very bad, Wufeng showed a strong interest in the practice of a new weapon that had already begun small-scale equipment troops to conduct actual combat. Although the guards next to him asked His Majesty the Emperor to try to avoid this test field full of uncertainties, Wufeng was still unmoved. He needed to observe the actual combat performance of this new weapon, including range, power, accuracy and control performance.

Wufeng was quite satisfied with it from individual shooting to line-up shooting to serial shooting. It seems that the Privy Council has spent some time promoting new weapons. Although the Privy Council only ordered 30,000 new weapons named after muskets, the Privy Council began to recruit new recruits after receiving the first batch of goods, directly conducting practical training, and striving to form effective combat effectiveness in the shortest time.

Wufeng silently pondered what he had observed. The single-row musket soldiers were obviously very fragile. The low defense determines that the musket soldiers are of the same nature as the crossbowmen. The risk of active attack is very high, but they are very valuable in defense. Especially, this musket that fires metal projectiles can easily penetrate the wooden boards with a fist within 250 meters. Even the armor of heavy cavalry within 200 meters cannot withstand this metal projectile shooting through the explosive force of gunpowder. It is said that the biggest problem was the shooting accuracy. The problem of poor accuracy has always troubled the designers of the science and technology development department, but now it seems that they have found a solution to the shooting accuracy problem.

The circular shooting of multiple rows of musket soldiers is undoubtedly an imitation of the tactics of crossbowmen, but the powerful power of muskets has made the officials of the Privy Council realize that such musket soldiers who use multiple groups of circular shooting may become the terminator of the battle overlords in the heavy cavalry plains. Although there are still many problems to be solved in the middle, such as the quality of muskets, moisture problems, etc., this has made everyone realize that this weapon may bring to the army battle.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Although it was not the first time that the shooting performance of the musket soldiers was checked, Ling Tianfang was very happy this time. Hard work pays off. Three series of shootings were completed in one go. The soldiers' skilled operating procedures also greatly improved the shooting efficiency of the musket soldiers, which also avoids the opportunity to be taken advantage of by the enemy.

"Very good, the progress is beyond my expectations. To be honest, although I can't say it's perfect, I'm quite satisfied." Wufeng did not want to hide his joy. Ling Tian was always able to take the lead in these new things. If he seemed to be inferior to Bo Jinchen in the use of strategy and tactics, then his foresight and keenness in this regard would be far beyond everyone in the army.

"Thank you for your praise. This mainly depends on the solution of a series of technical problems in the Science and Technology Development Department. Otherwise, the scene you saw will not be so optimistic." Ling Tianfang is also not a person who is greedy for merit. The establishment of this new soldier is entirely based on the continuous innovation of new technologies. Otherwise, it would be far from being used in actual combat.

"Well, I know this more than you, but although new technologies have been introduced, it is not a simple thing to form combat power. Tian Fang has done a good job in this regard, and is more active and sensitive than me." Wu Feng sighed a little, "The empire is too lacking in you with vision. Many of us officials are still addicted to old ideas, blindly holding on to old ideas, rejecting new things, thinking that this will maintain the nobleness and dignity of the Tang Dynasty. But the situation is just the opposite. The more conservative you are, the more you will be eliminated. No matter how I emphasize this, it is still difficult to respond to."

Ling Tian’s fault is not good enough to interfere in this regard. Some of His Majesty’s overly radical policies have caused the rebound of some conservative forces in the empire, especially the introduction of a series of industrial and commercial regulations has aroused opposition from the empire’s conservative forces. The Beijing Times run by Situ Yutang has become a banner and a fortress for these conservative forces. They continue to express their views through this mouthpiece and criticize some of the empire’s policies. However, it should be said that they are still following the laws and regulations, which makes it difficult for the Imperial News and Procuratorate to intervene too much.

Seeing Ling Tianfang not speaking for a long time, Wufeng also realized that his words were a bit off-topic, and smiled like a self-deprecatingly and pulled back to the topic: "Well, by the way, what problems or shortcomings do this musket have now?"

"Well, the problem of range and lethality has been basically solved with the continuous improvement of the quality of the gun barrel and the improvement of the quality of the gunpowder. The biggest obstacle was the accuracy issue. However, the individuals from the Science and Technology Development Department did not know that this problem was solved by making rifles. This not only greatly improved the accuracy, but also increased the range and power. This is the key to the real use of musket soldiers in actual combat. It is said that the latest musket shooting will exceed 350 meters, and within 300 meters will have terrifying lethality. If rifles were not invented, I am afraid that this kind of musket will be used for melee combat at most. But now, I can proudly say that as long as I give me some more time, the musket soldiers will definitely become the nightmare of the proud heavy-armed cavalry of Liberia and the Maqi Khans!" Ling Tianfang said confidently.

"Oh? So powerful?" Wu Feng was also shocked. He did not expect that the development of musket technology was so fast. The range of 200 meters was quite considerable. Although it was still closer to cavalry charges, the skilled musket soldiers had launched several rounds. I dare not say that they could achieve a perfect record, but Wu Feng was very satisfied. Now the power of the new musket will exceed 300 meters, which will increase by 100 meters. That will win several more rounds of shooting opportunities for muskets. For those cavalry, the chance of death will undoubtedly double. This will really become their nightmare. "What are the shortcomings of that musket?"

"The lack of muskets is still that the operation process is too complicated and difficult to improve efficiency. Although we have strengthened the training intensity, these actions will take so long, especially when they are really used on the battlefield for actual combat, I am afraid that the situation will be worse. Therefore, this is also our Privy Council and the Science and Technology Development Department have been devoted to researching and hoping to find a way to simplify the procedures. Another fatal problem is the problem of gunpowder moisture. It is not only that the power of muskets is greatly reduced on rainy days, but it can even be ignored. In the south, even some humid weather will greatly reduce the power of muskets, and even the phenomenon of gun damage and people being killed. I also entrusted the Science and Technology Development Department to step up the development of this issue and strive to make a breakthrough." Ling Tianfang said this a little unwillingly, as if he was worried that this would damage the image of muskets.
