章節 480: Merciless

Chapter 480 – Merciless

Two days later, Liu Bei's 150,000 soldiers finished producing siege weaponry. Siege towers, trebuchets, ladders, and ten million of arrows.

With such preparation, they marched toward Hongnong City, provoking Zhang Liao's men to a decisive battle.

Ma Chao, the leading commander of Liu Bei Army, held a weapon that did not suit this era.

An arquebus, the firearm that Cao Cao had shared the blueprints to Liu Bei, came into play in this battle.

Although Liu Bei possessed the blueprints and manufacturing methods, due to the unfamiliarity of the production process, only 20 crude rifles were made.

Moreover, the ammunition was limited to 10 bullets per gun, as Liu Bei's men did not understand chemistry or gunpowder recipe. As Liu Bei hated Tong and his yellow turban family, he also disliked taoist priests, who had the production methods of gunpowder.
