A Chao's speed was very fast, and the sniper rifle was produced in a few days. Li Zhao asked Wuquan to train ten sniper shooters. A few days later, the sniper shooters left secretly and rushed to Chudi and Peixian in two groups.

His purpose is obvious, to use the sniper gunner's beheading action to speed up the pace of the rebel army, so that they can develop as soon as possible and form a siege of Xianyang.

Historically, both Xiang Yu and Liu Ji's uprising armies captured Xianyang, and Xiang Yu even slaughtered Xianyang and burned down Xianyang Palace. Will it develop according to the development of history now?

Li Zhao couldn't guarantee it, but he had to make it happen, otherwise it would be impossible to destroy Hu Haizhi Qin. He couldn't care so much now, only by destroying Hu Haizhi Qin could the peace of Shanglinyuan be restored.

During this period of time, the Huhai court was very calm, and they did not send the Qin army to harass them, let alone take any other actions, as if they had given up on Shanglinyuan.

But Li Zhao knew that this was the calm before the storm, and Hu Hai would never let Shanglinyuan go, because Shanglinyuan had the real emperor Qin Shihuang.

He has to be ready for everything.

A few days later, Ah Chao sent good news that the red cannon had been made, and Li Zhao was invited to test it.

Li Zhao was not surprised. With many times of practical experience, a mere red-clothed cannon did not trouble a craftsman.

In the testing ground, many craftsmen gathered together. In front of them was a huge iron lump. The round cylinder gave people a sense of oppression. There were some iron balls and gunpowder piled up beside them.

This is the red-clothed cannon that Li Zhao asked Ah Chao to make. Judging from the body of the cannon, it is much larger than the ones used by the rebel army at that time, so I don't know how powerful it is.

Li Zhao rushed over and was taken aback when he saw this object. Although he had seen the structure from cheat books, it was really strange to see the real thing at this moment.

The red-clothed cannon is a product of the Ming Dynasty. It was not available in the society of the previous life, let alone seen. Of course, it can still be seen in some celebrity scenic spots, but they are all dilapidated objects, and it is impossible to really see its clues.

What I see at this moment is the real thing, and it feels a bit like coming to the Ming Dynasty.

"Master, are you going to experiment or let the craftsman come?"

Ah Chao asked Li Zhao.

Compared with modern weapons, the red-clothed cannon is still in its primitive stage. It is ignited by a front-mounted smoothbore door. Compared with some cannons in the previous life, it is much behind, but it is a giant existence when used in Daqin.

"By the artisans come!"

Although he can come up with cheats, he is not very familiar with the red cannon. Only a craftsman is the most qualified to experiment.

A craftsman came out, and he prepared to salute Li Zhao without saying much.

"Are there any people within range?"

According to the more advanced red-clothed cannons, the range should be within three miles, but this is Daqin. Considering that the technology is not as advanced as later generations, he thinks that the range should not reach that far. Within two miles is already very good.

"It has been prepared, and there will be people monitoring within one to three miles."

Ah Chao is also pragmatic and won't expect too much. In fact, this range is already outrageous. If the range can reach three miles, it will be so sharp that no one dares to imagine.

Without Xiang Gong's artillery, the most powerful war weapon in the Qin Dynasty in the era of cold weapons would not care about the strong crossbow, and the range of the strong crossbow would never reach three miles. Even if it could reach two miles, its power would be greatly reduced. But this cannon is different. Although it is not a hollow shell that can explode, it is solid, and the solid shell focuses on destruction.

In "Ming Ji Beilue", it is recorded that the red-clothed cannons are like this: Every cannon can be damaged for several miles, and one cannon can reach several miles.

Although this number is far less than that of modern artillery, it was unmatched in power at the time.

Of course, Li Zhao didn't have high requirements for this cannon, as long as it was corrupted within two miles.It is enough to kill any enemy within two miles.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Li Zhao lightly waved his hand, and the craftsman lit the fire. With a loud noise, a black thing shot out from the barrel, and everyone was shocked by the power.

In fact, some of the two thousand elites came to participate. Even if they had seen the artillery of the bandit army, they were dumbfounded at the moment and could not express their feelings for a long time.

Such a shot is like being hit, they can imagine what the consequences will be.

The black thing shot out at a high speed, passed through the dense forest, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Li Zhao reckoned that the shooting range would definitely not be bad, perhaps more than two miles if not three miles.

"Quick, let's go ahead and have a look."

The crowd followed Li Zhao impatiently and ran forward. After passing one mile, there was no trace of shells. After two miles, only a noise was heard. Finally, after more than two miles, they saw the inspectors. Cheering in one place.

When everyone walked in, they saw that the cannonball had smashed into the soil deeply, and the soil made a big hole at an oblique angle, which was half a foot long.

"It's amazing. What would it look like if this cannon hit the enemy group?" Someone was amazed and guessed with a smile.

"Needless to say, there must be wailing everywhere."

Everyone joined in.

Li Zhao was also shocked by such a range. If used on the battlefield, he would definitely be able to scream everywhere. However, he was even more curious that this cannon succeeded only once, which was a bit bizarre.

Everything cannot be accomplished overnight, but this cannon was successful in the first test. I have to say that God still favors it.

Of course, this is due to the superb skills of the craftsmen. No matter what kind of weapon it is, it will be successful at the first time. In fact, what Li Zhao doesn't know is that why the success rate is so high, it all depends on his cheats. For any pondering process, just make it step by step.

Perhaps this is the benefit of having a system.

"Okay, there are more than two miles, and it can definitely crush the artillery of the bandit army. Chao, the matter is urgent. You must produce more in a short time to meet the needs as soon as possible."

Li Zhao ordered, Ah Chao agreed, he was also clear about the current situation, and suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.

"Master, how many cannons are you going to build?"

"Build a thousand cannons first, and the more you build later, the better."

I don't know how many cannons Xiang Gong will put out, but there will definitely be no less, especially now that uprisings are frequent, he will never be stingy. Last time there were hundreds of cannons, what about this time?
I'm afraid it will be more than a thousand, or even more. If he makes less, he will definitely not be able to deal with Xiang Gong, even if the red cannon is better than the tiger crouching cannon.

Of course, if you want to create a thousand cannons in a short period of time, you can only embarrass Ah Chao.

"One thousand?" Sure enough, Ah Chao looked embarrassed, but he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Time passed bit by bit. With the help of the beheading operation, the rebel army of Liu Ji and Xiang Yu was like a broken bamboo, and captured one county after another. It can be said that it was unstoppable. The team grew rapidly.

Has become the mainstream of the insurgents.

At the same time, the guards of Shanglinyuan turned into scouts, running between various places, passing news to each other.

Even though a lot of news reached Li Zhao's ears, Li Zhao still felt that it was too slow. Compared with the communication in the previous life, it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"The way we communicate has to change."

Li Zhao muttered, thinking about it.

At present, Daqin's communication methods are very primitive, and most of them rely on fast horses to send messages. Even flying pigeons to send letters has not risen, so the delay of news is very serious.

The guards of Shanglinyuan are now all over the six countries. Of course, he also prepared walkie-talkies for them, but the transmission range of the walkie-talkies is too narrow.

Of course, there is still some use for flying pigeons to pass on letters, but the cultivation of flying pigeons requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources, which is not enough in such a situation.

"The use of electricity is still not fast enough!"

Li Zhao slapped his head violently. During this period of time, in order to deal with the unknowable conspiracy, the construction of the electricity was delayed, so that the call still stayed in Shanglinyuan. Otherwise, if the wires could be pulled all over the land of the Six Kingdoms, and then the phone was installed, wouldn't it be the first time at any time? time knows.

Of course, this is a wishful thinking, which is not yet possible.

"Perhaps the telegraph will do."

Li Zhao thought of a communication tool that would be widely used in future wars. This kind of thing is not as cumbersome as a landline phone. As long as it receives a signal, it can send a telegram. It is comparable to a modern mobile phone, but of course it is much simpler than a mobile phone.

Mobile phones need communication towers, and long-distance ones also need satellites. At present, Daqin has no communication towers, not to mention satellites, and it will not take a while to build them.

But the telegraph is different. If there is no need to transfer the base station within a thousand miles without any obstacles, the two telegraphs can receive information with the same frequency, and the telegraph can be purchased in the store. It can be called a grand slam for transmitting information. Of course, it is impossible to be free of obstacles anywhere. If you want to receive information in the land of the six countries, you still need a relay base station.

After much deliberation, Li Zhao decided to secretly install some telegraph transfer stations in the Guanzhong area, and then buy telegraph machines from the store, so that the transmission of messages will be much faster and more convenient.

Timely information is often the key to success.
