“What is the barbarian tribe’s advantage over the Great Yu Empire?”
Xiao Ming asked Niu Ben on the military workshop’s test field.
“Their cavalry, of course,” Niu Ben replied.
Lu Fei nodded. “Their riders are all experts at horseback archery. But training our own cavalry takes years. If we lose them in war, we can’t recover quickly. Rebuilding takes too long.”
Xiao Ming agreed. “Exactly. Whether it’s cavalry, archers, or swordsmen, we need years of training just to match the barbarians one-on-one. But they don’t need training—by the time they’re adults, they’re already seasoned warriors. That’s why the Great Yu Empire has lost ground to them over the years.”
“But things are different now.”
He picked up a flintlock rifle.
“Give me just three months, and I can train a common man to kill a barbarian cavalryman. Their lifetime of archery and riding is useless in front of a flintlock.”
Niu Ben and Lu Fei nodded slowly. The flintlock didn’t require strength—just a finger to pull the trigger.
And they had already seen it could penetrate armor from 80 meters away—Chen Qi, Zhang Liu, and others had proven that.
