Chapter 343: Teasing Time and Space

Chapter 343: Teasing Time and Space

This is an asymmetric war, and the guiding ideology of the two armies is eight or nine centuries apart, so this is destined to be a one-sided war.

Cui Zhuang Group has trained and trained, but it always lacks a murderous aura and a ruthless attack. So far, they have been fighting well in defensive battles, but it is the first time that they have pulled out a frontal attack like today.

The gap in the times is destined to make the attacker seem leisurely.

The first row of gunfire sounded, and the valley echoed.

But in fact, the gunfire is not loud. First, the number of gunfires is insufficient and the momentum is not formed; second, the expansion of the black gunpowder itself is incomparable to explosives in the modern sense. Basically, the gunfire formed by the black gunpowder is even worse than that of modern firecrackers.

But this was the first explosive weapon - not gunpowder, but explosives - in this world. Although these five neat gunshots were weak, they scared the birds in the mountains who heard the gunfire for the first time. The little wolf cub who had just roared in Ling Fei's hands immediately became honest. It stopped roaring in a weak head and shook its tail with a plea to Ling Fei's feet, rubbed against Ling Fei's calves, and shook its tail violently.

As the gunshots, a choking white smoke sprayed out from the muzzle. Before the smoke has disappeared, the five musketeers in the first row who have put the guns immediately squatted underground, pulled out their boring sticks, quickly put them into the gun chamber and brushed the boring box. Then, they took out a paper bag from their side, bite the paper bag, and then stuffed the whole bag into the gun chamber, and immediately tamped it with the boring stick. Then, they unscrewed the horn barrel beside them and poured the medicine into the musket ignition pool...

The musketeers' queues were not tightly arranged, and there was a gap between their shoulders. While the first row of musketeers were loading tightly, five thunder and fire soldiers in the second row passed through the gap left by the head row, rushed out the smoke of gunpowder, stood in front of the first row, lowered the muzzle according to the command, and fired a shot at the mountain.

However, the gunmen in the second row were not as lucky as the first row. Perhaps because they had waited too long, the gunpowder at the point of the gunfire was a little wet, and only three of the five shots were fired. The other two musketeers who did not fire the gun quickly lifted the hammer again, poured a little gunpowder again, raised the gun and fired again... After a while, one shot fired, and the other shot finally fell silent.

The second row of musketeers were still tossing, and the third row of musketeers stepped forward... At this time, Ling Fei looked down at the small piece of paper in his hand, muttering words: "Suppress shooting, does not pursue accurate hit rate, but only requires suppressing the opponent's long-range weapons and suppressing the opponent's observation post... Well, continue to fire."

Since the first round of muskets started, the curses on the mountain stopped abruptly. The bandits showed more confusion - the first row of muskets, and the bullets had no idea where they flew. The bandits saw the weapons in the other party's hands sound like thunder, but that's all, they just spit fire and smoke, and I don't know why?

Immediately afterwards, the second row of muskets rang, and the bullets still flew to nowhere, which immediately caused a burst of laughter on the top of the mountain. Several rebels jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, shouting at the thunder and fire soldiers not far away: "Fuck the water-dryer, what's wrong? Didn't you eat your mother's milk today? Why are you so weak? Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, let's fight your thing at your brother."

The bandits on the mountain don’t know what “attack forward” means—ever the Thunder and Fire soldiers fired guns, the next row of soldiers always move forward five steps and fired guns again. By the time the third row of Thunder and Fire soldiers fired guns, they had already attacked and moved forward ten steps forward. At this time, the bandits were actually in the range of the musket.

Amid the bandits' curse, Ling Fei's order arrived, and the third row of soldiers opened fire again - this time, luck was good, four of the five shots were fired, and although the fifth shot was tossed for a while, the gun was the best effect. One shot hit the rock, causing debris on the rock to fly across.

Ling Fei looked down at the small piece of paper and muttered: "The bounce point can be seen with the naked eye, which means that it has entered the range. At this time, it is necessary to start covering the design, pursuing continuous firepower output to suppress the opponent's counterattack..."

While reading the words on the paper, Ling Fei pulled the puppy forward, and signaled the bomb dropper to follow him. When he ran to the front row of mine fire soldiers who were ready to be fired, he stood in line with the row of soldiers. Ling Fei raised the small red flag in his hand high and shouted: "Stay - aim at the point, prepare - let go."

The gunshot fired. A gangster jumping on the rock, a snowflake suddenly bloomed on his chest, and his whole body flew up, floating away from the rock like a running bull rushing across.

The scorching projectiles of the musket were different from the arrows shot out by the bow and arrow. The bandit who was shot was shot was bombarded in front of his chest by the projectile containing huge chemical kinetic energy. When he flew up from the rock, he was actually dead. Not only was the part of the shot on his chest covered with blood, but the projectiles also rushed into his body and stirred the internal organs into a ball.

The bandits were still stunned. Now they would no longer regard the weapons in the hands of musketeers as children's toys, but the shock caused by musketeers was too strong. For a moment, they were shocked, confused, and frightened, and looking for ways to deal with such weapons in their minds... They forgot to hide.

The fifth row of musketeers' strikes have the precision of surgical operations and the ruthlessness.

While the bandits were stunned, the fifth row of musketeers had already taken twenty steps forward, approaching less than twenty meters away from the bandits, which was the most powerful of the musketeers. As a row of musketeers were bombarded, gravel flew everywhere - at this time, most bandits had not yet figured out a way to deal with this weapon.

However, even though this round of musket shooting did not hit anyone, its huge power made the bandits unable to hide among the rocks. The gunshot seemed to remind them. They shouted in horror, rushed out of the rocks and ran towards the small temple on the top of the mountain. The three corpses left in place.

Although the target disappeared, the musketeers continued to push forward layer by layer according to Cao Dian. Ling Fei choked in the smoke, continued to follow the attacker's pace, and continued to read the text on the paper: "Once the battle begins, even if there is no enemy in front of you, you must maintain an attacking posture. At that time, in addition to slowing down the shooting frequency, the shooting action itself cannot stop.

In addition to continuing to suppress the local area and maintaining the momentum of attack, you must also keep your soldiers excited, so that the frequency of attack will be restored anytime and anywhere. It is not easy to load muskets. Once soldiers are lazy, it is difficult to recover, and maybe they will have to pay a lot of money."

This team is different from the ancient army composed entirely of peasants. They are composed of handicraftsmen in workshops and are more similar to modern army. Handicraftsmen are used to production step by step. Even if there is no enemy in front of them, they also know that craft programs are programs, and there is no need to be lazy or neglect at all.

Therefore, during the entire attack, although there were no enemies in front of him, since Cao Dian asked them to move forward while setting off their guns, the musketeers did not hesitate to this strange order, and their movements were still uniform, loading, putting the gun on the shoulders, laying the muzzle flat, firing towards the void, and then loading...

Of course, this kind of battle of people strictly according to the Dharma is also a huge expense. A country composed entirely of agricultural civilization may not be able to afford the high military expenditure. Looking at China for three thousand years, only the Song Dynasty had the qualification to be so luxurious.

The army of the Song Dynasty itself was very adapted to this rigidity. In history, heavy infantry in the Song Dynasty defeated the Western Xia cavalry many times, but for various reasons, they still strictly maintained their formation after victory, stayed on the ground facing a battlefield without enemies, and allowed the defeated Western Xia soldiers to flee...

The next battle seemed to be live ammunition training. The musket soldiers went forward and shot round by round. Ling Fei kept looking at the small piece of paper and was very satisfied with the situation in front of him: "Yes, this is probably what the master said, "continuous firepower output"... Well, the master also said that shooting does not pursue one shot, and a hundred steps through the Yangyang, suppressing the opponent's counterattack and suppressing the opponent's long-range firepower is also a shooting purpose. This is probably called "barrage Xu Jin".

After a moment of pause, Ling Fei had already arrived at the gate of the small temple. At this time, the bandits had already hid in the temple and closed the door tightly.

Ling Fei stood leisurely in front of the temple gate, mourning for all the famous generals and the "Three Army" since ancient times, and said sadly: "Oh, no wonder the master repeatedly told me to keep it secret. Once this thunder and fire team was released, there was no other general Zhang in the world. Humph, the gods "take the head of the general from a million troops". With two teams of thunder and fire guns, you will be killed by a single shot with your martial arts for many years."

Looking at the closed door with his hands behind his back, the thunder and fire soldiers had already dispersed, looking for the back door or the small door next to it. The courtyard was filled with noise, full of horror shouts, controversy, and crying desperately. Ling Fei was excited and said to himself: "Ah, this is probably what the master said - our era. Yes, my Mizhou Ling family is a gunpowder family. They have been studying firearms for many years and enjoy a high reputation in the entire Mizhou and the entire Central Plains. Unfortunately, my firearms are not as sharp as bows and crossbows after all. Now with the guidance of the master and with this new tactic, what other army in the world can stop us?"

Of course, the closed temple gate could not stop the attack of the Thunder and Fire Team - a few thunder bullets were stuck under the temple gate, causing fire to explode, the Thunder and Fire Team rushed into the temple, caught turtles in the jar, and fired at close range. The terrifying power displayed made the rebels lose their will to resist, and they surrendered one after another.

But Ling Fei received the order to kill him, so he cut off more than 30 heads without any worries, and then rushed to Taohua Temple with these heads to report to the master.

In the Peach Blossom View, Shi Wear leisurely lying on the lounge chair, squinting his eyes to enjoy the little warmth left in the year. Now it is mid-ninth month of the lunar calendar, and winter is approaching. There are not many days to lie outside and enjoy the fresh air. Shi Wear cherishes this warmth very much.

Unfortunately, there is a natural rival in this world, Shi Yanei. When he was leisurely at the time, this person could always find something for Shi Yanei. Shi Yanei's panting figure squinted, and frowned unhappily: "Go aside, this day is neither mosquitoes, and the climate is suitable. It can be regarded as a time of money, so don't waste it."

Shi Yanei was not polite and rushed directly to the group trainee who was serving him, shouting: "Come on that chair, hey, this chair is weird, it seems very comfortable to lie down, I'm the one."

Shi Chuan shrank and moaned, "The weasel has climbed the chicken's door, there will be no good things."

"Okay, okay, sure enough, you said it again. The Taoist priests are dead. The Taoist nuns asked us to go to the report priest and let the Taoist priest formulate a new priest... I heard that the Taoist priest has another letter to the Taoist priest, recommending the new priest. You said, in this letter, the viewer will not sue us, right?"

Shideng stretched his waist lazyly and replied: "You forgot that I am still a non-famous painter and best at forging calligraphy and paintings."

As they were talking, the group trainers brought a new recliner, Shi Yanei lay down on the chair and moaned comfortably: "Sure enough, you are like my brother-in-law, like to enjoy and be good at enjoying... I said, move a few chairs to my house, and I will also be filial to the old man-I said, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and ask for letters from Taohua Temple to see if there are any inappropriate places, so let's change it."

Shi Chuan stretched and replied: "What's the hurry? Anyway, sending letters is something that must be a problem for us... How is Miss Suzhen?"

Shi Yanei shouted: "Get wine, bring wine quickly. This weather is a waste of beauty without drinking a few cups... I said, you are not as good as my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law enjoys it, and there is no regret at all, but you always lack a little. Well, the county magistrate Meng just left and said that Luo Wangjing had already responded to the lawsuit... There is nothing to say about this lawsuit. The law is clear and it is illegal to take away the dowry of a wife, and this is just the Luo family. The only thing that is tangled now is whether to divorce his wife or divorce him, and how much dowry is returned.

Miss Suzhen means: The pustules are cut off earlier and you can earn money again, but you can't drag a bottomless pit to make money. She wants to give up everything and just want to leave the house with nothing. But I think doing this will have a bad reputation, and secondly, if Luo Wangjing continues to pester the dividends of your shop, it will be endless trouble. So we have to make a fight, so that the Luo family feels that it is already very good to be able to keep it now, and they dare not ask for more. This is the best way."

"Hmph", Shi Chuan let out a hum from his nose: "Not everyone has the means to make money, but everyone can do the means to make money. There is a big loser in the Luo family. Besides, today is different from the past. The city foxes and rats in the city are under my control. I send a few people out to "help" Luo Er's loser. What's that difficult? If Luo Er loses his family, who will the money go to? Do you still need to think about it?

Miss Chu is right. The pustules will be removed as soon as possible. I will ask Zhao Shixia to reconcile with Luo Wangjing immediately. As long as he agrees to divorce, the dowry that has been used by his family will not need to be returned. At most, we will compensate him for one thousand guan and let him split up with Luo Er."

Shi Yanei refused to comment and asked again: "Your musketeer is fighting, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Shi Chuan let out a short smile and asked, "How do you know I'm not there?"

Shi Yanei said oh, following the topic, "Why are you scaring me, then tell me, how effective is the brigade of musketeers going to fight?"

Shi Chuan shook his head a little disappointed: "It seems that the barrel of the gun is too thin, and the power of the projectile is still too small - the first row of guns was a little calm when the bullets were fired. It was not until it was within twenty meters that the muskets showed their power. At this distance, it only takes a blink of an eye for the cavalry to sprint. Using this musket to deal with the cavalry is probably far from enough."

Shi Yanei was there without believing it, but he cooperated and said: "It's already good. When my brother-in-law used this kind of musket to deal with pirates for the first time, he used a musket similar to the rainy pear blossom gun, and fireworks were sprayed out instead of projectiles. Now I still use a combing gun, your family already uses a flintlock gun - flintlock, is that the word?"

"What did your brother-in-law say?"

"My brother-in-law said that the muskets should be developed step by step. The earliest Mizhou Ling family used the rainstorm pear gun, and the Xixia used similar flame guns, and then the projectile guns were developed. The projectile guns started with the fuse and continued to evolve into flintlocks... Unfortunately, my brother-in-law didn't do it, but let you do it in Cuizhuang."

Shi Chuan did not tell Shi Yanei that the flintlock guns were collected by Mr. Hai and were used by the other party to save their lives. But now, with the application of machinery and lathes by Duan's Blacksmith House, small hand guns can be produced by themselves, but this kind of hand gun is very small.

Shi Yanei also got one of this small pistols. Because of the emergence of the small pistol, Shi Yanei believed that the flintlock gun was developed based on his brother-in-law. After all, Shi Yanei was good at being a good person in the side. Since he developed fashion items such as soap, snow cream, luggage, etc., he has become famous in Haizhou, so Shi Yanei can improve muskets, which makes Shi Yanei not novel at all.

Shi Chuan said to himself: "The first battle was the flintlock musket. The one who took it out was a flintlock musket. It had already skipped the development stage of the comb. The comb was ignited by open flames, and the ignition pool must be large enough and not tightly sealed. Therefore, in the era of combs, there were many one-eyed dragons, because the gunpowder exhaust burned the musketman's eyes. The gun did not dare to aim, and because the ammunition pool was not tightly sealed and the thrust of the gunpowder was not much stronger than that of the bow and arrow.

Now it has crossed the era of the mesh gun. Although the barrel is a little thinner, the gunpowder pool is tightly sealed and the tail end will not leak hot gunpowder gas. The thrust of the projectile is much greater. This kind of musket, in terms of loading speed and firing power, is far superior to the mesh gun, and is also easier to carry than the mesh gun."

Shi Yanei moved his lips, Shi Chuan continued to say to himself: "Of course, the success rate of this kind of musket is not as successful as that of a comb, but the reloading speed of the comb using open flame is at least three times slower. Even if the flintlock can only fire one shot in three shots, the overall firepower output is the same as that of a comb, and the two are not as powerful as that of a comb."

After saying that, Shi Chuan tilted his head and thought about it: "Increasing the thrust of the gunpowder, it seems that the Minnie bullet is a good solution. The lead ball with a depression at the tail end. When the gunpowder is fired, the lead ball will expand and seal the barrel... Well, the flintlock rifle used now, let's start to shape it. Next, I hope to configure the bayonet and practice the musketman's stinging technique..."

Shi Yanei moved his lips again, trying to interrupt and talk a few words. Suddenly, the sky suddenly became cloudy. In the blink of an eye, lightning flashed in the clear sky. However, lightning was not accompanied by thunder, nor rain. So, the lightning flashed very strange... At the same time, Li Dalang, who was far away in Daliuqiu (Yizhou), trembled violently. He was shocked and shouted randomly: "What happened, what happened?"

When sitting in the Peach Blossom View, the sound seemed to penetrate time and space, and answered in silent lightning: "Just just now, the largest crusade among the four Latin countries, located in the Earl of Tripoli in the East, the Count Bertrand died... Oh, after his death, the title of the Earl of Tripoli was passed to his son Pons, and the Earl of Toulouse was inherited by his younger brother Alphons Jordan-but because he died in a hurry and did not leave a will, the Knights chose his cousin Alphons Jordan to inherit the Earl of Tripoli."

Young Master Hai shouted at Wu Ren's front: "What did you do? It seems that the Count's position was not inherited by his cousin, but his son Pons... Can such a thing be done casually... You have completely confused this time and space."

Shi Chuan sat quietly at Taohua Temple. At this time, Shi Yanei, who was sitting in front of him, also looked panicked and asked nervously: "Dalang, the way of heaven is abnormal, what does this mean?"

Young Master Hai, who was in Yizhou, still looked panicked: "You have disrupted this time and space... the axis of time and space, this world..."

Shi Chuan said calmly to Shi Yanei: "A butterfly flapped its wings - it flapped its fragile wings in Asia, but it triggered a hurricane on the African prairie. Yes, it was not enough to just start from this country. The recession of the Northern Song Dynasty was caused by foreign invasion and the sudden cut off of trade routes between the East and the West, and the national finances suddenly lacked huge amounts of foreign trade support.

What the Song Dynasty lacked was an extremely large amount of trade volume, and 70% of the world's wealth flowed in this trade exchange. In the face of this huge power of capital, the efforts of one person and two people were nothing. If you want to save the fate of recession, you must slow down the speed of recession - remember when I first met your brother-in-law, those two ships sailing towards the sunset? Didn't your brother-in-law take those two ships to the West to handle your family's trade affairs?

Pons was too young. As a crazy believer, his interest was in maintaining the faith of Christ. His uncle, Alphonse Jordan, the original Earl of Toulouse, was wiser, and of course, he was more greedy for money. Jordan sat in the Earl of Tripoli, and would rather make money and maintain the trade routes between the East and the West.

And Tripoli, as far as I know, its Christian culture lasted until a thousand years later, which shows that Alphons, who ruled after Pons, surrendered, so he survived and maintained the country until later. Therefore, choosing such a person who knows how to compromise and is easier to deal with is good for the entire Song Dynasty - Tripoli is the throat of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean."

"How did you do it?" The young master of Hai, who was in Yizhou, blurted out in front of the empty front, but immediately he suddenly realized: "Damn it, damn it, I will give you two cargo ships, and told the public that I was on the ship, but in fact one of your clones drove the ship to the Red Sea..."

Shi Chuan smiled, his words crossed the space and replied: "Thank you for teaching me the skills of existing in different spaces at the same time. Yes, it was my hand that plucked the strings of history and teased history a little - now the entire Red Sea and the Mediterranean are fighting, and the goods cannot be transported out. Those fanatical believers do not want to make transactions, they only want to maintain the glory of God, but I can't wait.

After Jordan took office, in order to make money, he would seek reconciliation with the Arab world and then maintain the existence of East and West business. In this way…”
