Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"As long as it works, let's start making it."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Kaiyu immediately arranged for them to start production.

His position is different from that of these craftsmen.

As for war, as long as there are weapons and the ability to kill people is enough.

But for craftsmen, they need the quality of what they make to meet standards.

These craftsmen all said hesitantly:

"This...if you make a batch of defective products, fill them with gunpowder and ignite them, it will probably explode."

"Yes, if it explodes, it will probably have an impact on your soldiers, my Lord."

They kept giving advice.

But Jiang Kaiyu said calmly with a straight face:

"During war, it's normal for the number of soldiers to be reduced. Just go ahead and do it."

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Wu Wencheng and Huangfu Taiping sighed slightly.

They know Jiang Kaiyu better than these craftsmen.

This is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals.

The previous incident of taking refugees through a minefield had already ruined his reputation.

Now Jiang Kaiyu doesn't even care about the deaths and injuries of his soldiers.

You have to know that they have hundreds of thousands of troops at their disposal!

Although a batch of them were lost at the hands of Qin Ming.

But such a large army is enough for him to consume.

"OK then."

The craftsmen had no choice but to agree.

They disassembled the structures of the cannons and muskets and quickly began to produce them.

Although his materials were not as good as Qin Ming's, Jiang Kaiyu could easily find many people to help him by gathering the power of the court.

After his letter was delivered to the court, the imagined punishment did not occur.

On the contrary, in order to win the war, Emperor Qian even silently arranged for thousands of craftsmen to rush to Huxi.

"It seems that His Majesty also knows the power of this firearm."

Looking at the reply from the court, Jiang Kaiyu nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Wencheng on the side whispered:

"My Lord, if we have these weapons, when will we launch the attack?"

It is already late autumn and winter is about to arrive.

Although the south is not as cold as the north after winter.

But once winter comes, many people will hang up lights and decorate their houses in preparation for the New Year.

As a traditional festival of Daqian, if he still commanded the soldiers to charge on the battlefield, the morale would definitely be low.

"Huangfu Taiping, how much have you prepared?"

Jiang Kaiyu pondered for a moment and looked at Huangfu Taiping.

He had thought it through in the past few days, so he transferred Huangfu Taiping out of the warehouse in the rear.

Huangfu Taiping, who has now been reinstated, is mainly responsible for the production of weapons by those craftsmen.

"They're just defective products. They made them quickly and already have three hundred muskets and forty cannons."

"But my lord, this is what they make."

As he spoke, Huangfu Taiping waved his hand and asked someone to bring the things in.

In front of Jiang Kaiyu was a musket with an extremely ugly shape.

The casting marks on it have not been polished, and it is even a bit prickly to hold.

Apart from the relatively smooth barrel of the musket, there is nothing else worth mentioning about this weapon.

"Can it be used or not? How was the training these days?"

Since the production of muskets and cannons began, Jiang Kaiyu directly asked Wu Wencheng and Huangfu Taiping to start training soldiers in the barracks.

At least let them master how to use this thing.

The two men lived up to expectations and quickly recruited a group of people to start training.

But the situation during training was not as good as expected.

Hearing this, Huangfu Taiping explained with a somewhat grim expression:

"Nearly 10% of the weapons have exploded. Dozens of soldiers who went to train have died, and hundreds are injured."

"My Lord, I suggest that we stop training and instead fire a single volley of these weapons at the King of Qin on the battlefield, then abandon them."

The most important thing for them now is to create a breach in Qin Ming's Yueyang City.

As for the application of these weapons, for Huangfu Taiping, it was really beyond his ability to use some defective products.

The corners of Jiang Kaiyu's mouth twitched.

He guessed that the promotion of firearms would not be smooth.

But he didn't expect so many things to happen down there.

"What if we force them to practice?"

After thinking about it, he asked through gritted teeth.

Wu Wencheng immediately shook his head.

"My Lord, please don't make it difficult for them. Going there to practice firearms now is like going to die. No soldier in the barracks is willing to go there for training."

"If they hadn't gone to war and had died in the barracks, we wouldn't even be able to report their military achievements and losses."

If Wu Wencheng's previous words had not convinced Jiang Kaiyu.

The following sentence is crucial.

If the deaths of soldiers cannot be reported as military merits or combat losses, their army will be in big trouble.

"That's it."

Jiang Kaiyu waved his hand and took the initiative to reject the suggestion.

"Huangfu Taiping, arrange a group of people to harass Qin Ming with these weapons."

"Go blast him a few times every day!"

Since there was no way to train, Jiang Kaiyu directly moved the matter to the battlefield.

Anyway, training on the battlefield can also make soldiers familiar with it.

"Yes!"

That night, a light cavalry unit of more than 3,000 people approached Yueyang City.

"Get ready, let go!"

Huangfu Taiping stood on the hillside and gave them orders after he was a little distance away.

The reason why the distance is so far is simple.

He is also afraid of death.

The power of artillery is obvious to everyone.

If the distance was closer, what if it was a defective product that was unusable and exploded right next to them, a large number of them would be killed.

The soldiers had bitter faces and held long wooden sticks, lighting the fuse from a distance.

Bang bang bang!

Countless artillery pieces began to pour out and bombard the city walls.

Qin Ming's scouts had received the news long ago, and at this moment they were watching the other side take action on the city wall.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to send troops this time?"

"Well, let's see what they can do first."

Qin Ming originally wanted to send troops directly to Huxi.

But later I heard that they were making firearms.

After stealing some of the muskets and cannons, the other party resisted the pressure and made firearms.

This inevitably made Qin Ming a little curious.

He wanted to see what Jiang Kaiyu's people had produced over the past few days.

boom!

Cannons exploded on the city walls.

The sound was deafening.

But what was surprising was that the walls of Yueyang City collapsed after being hit by the enemy's artillery.

There were only some black marks left on it.

The expected damage to the city wall did not occur.

These city walls were all poured with cement by Qin Ming.

Extremely high defense.

"I thought it was some ace brand, but it turned out to be a defective product."

Qin Ming couldn't help laughing.

We gave them a chance, but this group of people is useless.

In this case, it's my turn to fight back.

"Send a message to Wu Qingye to conduct guerrilla warfare against them in the wild!"

"Unlimited supply of weapons and equipment!"

As Qin Ming finished speaking, Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan's breathing became heavy.

"Your Highness, are we going to attack Huxi?!"
