Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 100: Alchemy and weapons
The leader of was killed so fast, and the others lost their fighting spirit, either kneeling and surrendering or being scattered, and those who tried to escape were overtaken by Shan Hui, and the ambush team of more than fifty people ran back. None in the county seat.
Xia Fan walked to Li and picked up the weapon Ueno had left behind for a long time.
He was surprised to find that it was actually a gorgeous musket.
"What is this?" Li wiped the blood from his hands.
"Hand guns, similar to small crossbows." Xia Fan checked the firearms and confirmed his own judgment-there is no magazine or runner, and it is still in a simple front loading form. The ignition device has already appeared, and it can be activated by pulling the trigger, but it is only one shot. In other words, this musket can only be used for the last fight, and cannot be used as a normal weapon.
He knelt down and fumbled for a while on the dead samurai, and found a small pack of lead bullets and a bag of gunpowder-like stuff.
Obviously, the existence of qi has not hindered people in the world from exploring and studying natural phenomena, and perhaps it has accelerated it a bit.
At least he has never seen a similar weapon in the guards of Gaoshan County or Jinxia City.
In addition, Xia Fan also uncovered a few daggers, a bag of medicine, two talisman papers, and a waist card. Coupled with that musketeer, if you really fight with Ueno for a long time, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to deal with than evil.
"Master Xia, what do you plan to do with these people?" Naoqing, who was shocked by the audience, walked over with a **** long knife and asked.
More than thirty people died in less than a quarter of an hour. The twenty-odd people alive have completely lost their intent to fight, and there is only fear in their eyes.
Especially when they look at Shanhui like a giant wolf.
"Have you ever asked about your identity?"
"Yes, they are not from the Dongsheng Kingdom, but the Donghai Gang thugs recruited by the Wang family. They only said that they wanted to kill one person, but they didn't tell them that they were dealing with the Privy Council."
In other words, except for the Ueno samurai who led the team, everyone else was a mob.
Is this the Wang family underestimating the enemy?
is wrong, I am afraid that Wang Yian has not figured out the situation himself-if he can immediately receive the news that Ning Wanjun and the evil horse witch are meeting, it can only mean that there is a ghost next to the princess.
Maybe he thinks that a warrior who is good at battle and more than fifty thugs are enough to encircle an alchemist who can only shake.
From the common sense, his judgment really cannot be wrong.
Where do ordinary people want to get it? The introductory needed for the shaking technique has changed from a rare thing like a lightning strike to a copper wire pendant that is readily available?
It’s just that after this time, the opponent should be more alert.
Xia Fan quickly sorted out the situation in his mind, "Tie up all those who are still alive, and take them back to Jinxia City by Li Xing tomorrow morning."
These people saw Shanhui’s tengu form and could not be thrown into the custody of the Fenghua county government. If Yangzhi County here also has a connection with the Wang family, then it is estimated that the next day, the rumors of the new recruits engaged in harbouring monsters It's going to spread all over the street.
Of course, he could also chop the surrenders together and shut them up completely, but he always found it difficult to say this kind of easy order to kill prisoners.
Now that he is in a high position, a single thought can kill people and even affect the people of a place. Because of this, Xia Fan feels that he should make judgments more cautiously.
"What about the dead?"
"I will notify the government and let them clean up the scene."
In less than a week, the Wang family dared to send people to besieged a government. There is a high probability that the Privy Council’s instructed him. After all, from the surface, he belongs to the princess faction and has not directly threatened him. The status of the royal family.
Xia Fan had a vague hunch in his heart, the moment when the two sides completely tore their faces will not be too far away.
……
returned to Jinxia City, he immediately placed the musket in front of Ning Wanjun.
"Is Qi State this thing?"
"Isn't this a cannon in my sleeve." Ning Wanjun was interested in picking up the gun, compared to a shooting posture-obviously she had seen this stuff, "Where did you get it?"
Xia Fan recounted his trip to Fenghua County, "From the perspective of the handle pattern, it does not look like Qiguo's style."
"Indeed, as far as I know, the Ministry of Industry does not produce this stuff."
"Why, this is the key to entering the age of firearms!"
It’s fine if the senior hasn’t heard of it, but listening to the other’s tone, the senior not only knows it, but also doesn’t take it very seriously. This means that Qiguo has fallen behind others in the development of firearms.
"The Age of Firearms?" Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows, "It's just a gun in the sleeve, is it as important as you say? It's low power, and the shot is slow. It may not hit a person within 20 steps, let alone Alchemist. It’s been studied in the military. This weapon is flashy and it’s not as good as using it to cast cannons."
"Wait, cast a cannon?" Xia Fan asked, "What cannon?"
"The technology passed from the extreme west. It's about this big, and the principle is similar to that of a sleeve gun." The princess stretched out her hand and gestured, turning the other person across in Xia Fan's eyes, which was basically close to the size she described. "Although the fight is also slow, but if you hit it, at least it is dead or injured."
sentimental gunpowder weapons have begun to make their mark in this world.
"Qi Guojun is also equipped?"
"This is a military plane," Ning Wanjun glanced at him, "but it's okay to tell you. There are few similar equipment in the frontier army, and only the Imperial Forest Army of the Holy Supreme is equipped with a small amount. It has too many shortcomings and consumes iron. It consumes copper and is extremely heavy. It is completely unsuitable for fast movement in the wild. More importantly, iron cannons are easily restrained by alchemy, especially Lishu, Xunshu, and Homshu. If it weren’t for someone in the Ministry of Engineering who insisted on improving it, it It is estimated to have been eliminated a long time ago."
"Oh? I would like to hear the details~ IndoMTL.com~ Xia Fan curiously asked.
"Why, this thing is actually not ordinary?" The princess realized his concern and couldn't help but get serious. "Some Lishu can detonate saltpetre powder at a long distance, so that it can in turn kill the opponent who uses the gun; Sunshu It can change the direction of the wind to make the iron cannon lose its head-this trick is often used when dealing with archers. As for the hurdles, there are more, creating thick fog, illusions, and illusions, which can limit the enemy's long-range attacks , Forcing them to fight in close quarters. The above tactics have been tested in actual combat, not my own fantasy."
Xia Fan suddenly had a general idea in his mind. It turned out that Qi Guo army had put it into actual combat a long time ago, but the performance of this artillery was not satisfactory, so it was not popularized.
This is indeed information that only the three princesses can grasp.
If he didn’t cooperate with Ning Wanjun, it would take a long time for him to get access to relevant information.
Because of the context of the development of firearms, Xia Fan has a completely different view on this point of view-just like when the train came out, it was no better than a carriage, but the product of the era will eventually surpass the era, and it looks like a bulky artillery. After adding the gun mount and wheels, it can be upgraded to a field gun, while the rifle is engraved and the spherical bullet is changed to a mini bullet, and the shooting accuracy will be greatly improved. These improvements often come from a novel idea that does not exist. Technically rigid requirements, so it may be very long, or it may appear within decades.
If the technology that Qiguo mastered came from the extreme west, what stage has the birthplace reached now?
The Master Zhang of the Privy Council may have said nothing wrong.
Alchemists should give priority to improving their strength at all times.
He must prepare in advance.
