Chapter 102: Alchemy and weapons

The leader was killed so quickly, and the others lost their fighting spirit,

either kneeling to surrender or being scattered, and those who tried to flee

were overtaken by Shan Hui, and an ambush team of more than 50 people ran back

to the county capital. No.

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 a gorgeous musket.

"What is this?" Li wiped the blood from his hands.

"Hand guns, similar to small bows and crossbows." Xia Fan checked the firearms

and confirmed his 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, not 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 several daggers, a bag of medicine

packets, 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 shocked

the audience, walked over and asked with a ** knife.

More than thirty people died in less than a quarter of an hour. The twenty

people alive have completely lost their will 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?

No, I am afraid that Wang Yian has not figured out the situation himself-if he

can receive news of Ning Wanjun meeting with the evil horse maiden

immediately, it only means that there is a ghost around the princess.

Perhaps he thinks that a warrior who is good at battle and more than fifty

thugs are enough to encircle and suppress an alchemist who can only shake.

From common sense, his judgment really cannot be wrong.

Where can ordinary people want to get it, the primer needed for shaking has

changed from a rare thing like lightning strike wood to a readily available

copper wire pendant?

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 everything that

is still alive, and hand it over to Li Xing to bring it back to Jinxia City

tomorrow morning."

This group of 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 an

association with the Wang family, then it is estimated that the next day, the

rumor that the new team is engaged in harbouring monsters will spread. It's

all over the street.

Of course, he could also chop off the surrenders and make them shut up

completely. It's just that this kind of effortless order to kill prisoners

always finds it difficult for him to say it.

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 carefully.

"What about the dead?"

"I will inform the government and let them clean up the scene."

In less than a week, the Wang family dared to send people to siege a

government. There was a high probability that the Privy Council had instructed

him. After all, on the surface, he belonged to the princess faction and had

not directly threatened the status of the Wang family. .

Xia Fan had a vague premonition in his heart, the moment when the two sides

completely tore their faces would not be too far away.

……

Back to Jinxia City, he immediately placed the gun in front of Ning Wanjun.

"Is Qiguo this thing?"

"Isn't this a cannon in a sleeve?" Ning Wanjun picked up the gun with

interest, compared to a shooting posture-obviously she had seen this thing,

"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 management hasn’t heard of it, but listening to the

other’s tone, the senior management not only knows it, but also doesn’t care

much about it. 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

your sleeve. Is it as important as you say? It's low power and slow shot. You

may not be able to hit a person within 20 moves, let alone an alchemist. The

military has studied this weapon as flashy, and the material consumed is not

as good as a cannon."

"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 cannon in a sleeve." The princess stretched

out her hand and gestured, and in Xia Fan's eyes, she turned the other side

across, which was basically close to the size she described. Although the

fight is also slow, at least it is dead or injured if it hits."

Emotional gunpowder weapons have begun to make their debut 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, consumes iron and consumes copper. The weight is

extremely heavy and it is completely unsuitable for rapid movement in the

field. More importantly, iron cannons are easily restrained by alchemy,

especially Lishu, Xunshu and Homshu. If it weren't for someone from the

Ministry of Engineering to insist on improving it, it would have been long

ago. Was eliminated."

"Oh? I would like to hear the details~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia Fan curiously

asked.

"Why, this thing is not ordinary?" The princess sensed his concern and

couldn't help getting serious. "Some Lishu can detonate saltpeter powder at a

long distance, so that it can in turn kill the opponent who uses the gun;

Xunshu can change The direction of the wind makes the iron cannon lose its

head-this trick is often used when dealing with archers. As for the hurdles,

there are more hurdles, creating thick fog, illusions, and illusions, which

can limit the enemy's long-range attacks and force them Fight in close

quarters. The above tactics have all been tested in actual combat, not my own

fantasy."

Xia Fan suddenly had a general idea in his mind. It turned out that the 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.

It is precisely because he has seen the context of the development of firearms

that Xia Fan has a completely different view on this point of view-just like

when the train first came out, it was no better than a carriage, but the

product of the era will eventually surpass the era, and the seemingly heavy

artillery is added. The gun mount and wheels can be upgraded to a field gun,

and the rifle is engraved on the rifle, and the spherical bullet is changed to

the Mini bullet, and the shooting accuracy will be greatly improved. These

improvements often come from a novel idea, and there is no technical point.

Hard requirements, so it may be 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.
