The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

It was like a gunshot in the woods where the birds were twittering, and everything was silent for an instant. Everyone was stunned and froze in place, their eyes focused on the small black tube in Su Jin's hand (Mie Xianlun Read the full text).high-speed update

Su Jin's hands were uncomfortably hot, this thing really didn't work well, no wonder Zhao Dehai warned himself when he came here, he had to wrap his hands with a damp cloth to avoid being burned.

However, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the pattering spring rain did not affect this simple musket. After it was ignited, it still fired loudly, which was enough to reassure people at critical times.

Xiao Temo's eyes lingered on the black mud pit that exploded and the pipe in Su Jin's hand. He couldn't believe that the big steaming pit on the ground was actually the small black pipe in Su Jin's hand. Caused.

Of course Xiao Temo has seen firearms, rockets, fireballs, and fire thorns on the battlefield, but Xiao Temo has never sneered at such things. For him, these crooked things are not as good as his black iron The mace works, and when it hits a stick, it will be a broken brain, and these firearms can't do much damage to soldiers wearing armor except for the long range and choking smoke.

Take Fire Tribulus as an example. During the small military conflicts on the border between Song and Liao, Song soldiers often saw this object thrown out. Although the small fragments inside could be embedded in the meat after the explosion, they could only penetrate less than half an inch. The Daliao soldiers added a lot of bruises to their faces, but there was no fatal injury at all; as long as the eyeballs were not scratched by the fragments, and the fragments embedded in the flesh were dug out with a knife after the battle, the soldiers were still alive and kicking.

Later, when they fought again, after the Liao soldiers uniformly covered their faces with thick face coverings, these things were completely useless, so that in the end, even the Song army didn't bother to use them.

But the thing in Su Jin's hand blasted the ground into a deep pit the size of a washbasin at once. If it hit the flesh and blood, the consequences would be disastrous (the latest chapter of the prehistoric holy world demon).

Not far away was the sound of hooves, and hundreds of horsemen galloped towards them. The first two were Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong. They heard the sound of the explosion and rushed there immediately with the cavalry brigade.

From Xiao Temo's point of view, it was the garrison from the school ground who heard the news, and the opponent was also a cavalry. At this moment, the number was absolutely superior, and Xiao Temo's feverish brain suddenly woke up, realizing that his situation was already very bad.

Zhao Fang's two cavalry quickly surrounded the crowd, Zhao Dehai came out more and more, clasped his hands on the horse and shouted: "Lord Su, what happened? I am waiting for orders."

Su Jin laughed and said, "So it's Zhao Dutou, why are you here today?"

Zhao Dehai said: "Reporting to Master Su, Commander Fang and I led the troops to practice formation firearms here, and rushed over when we heard the sound."

Su Jindao: "Standby, ready to charge at any time."

Zhao Dehai shouted: "I obey." He turned his horse's head and entered the line.

Xiao Temo could afford to put it down, the hero didn't suffer the immediate loss, he hurriedly waved his hands and ordered the Liao soldiers to put away their weapons, he also hung the mace on the saddle hook and winked at Liu Liufu.

Liu Liufu cursed inwardly, you were the one who acted like a hero just now, and now I have to do it for you when you lose your temper. Scalp forward.

"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Both adults calm down. It is a major issue between the two countries. It is better to be patient." Liu Liufu said to Su Jin, but looked at Fu Bi, pleading color.

Fu Bi naturally understood that it was impossible for Su Jin to arrest them all, otherwise the matter would be completely deadlocked, so he looked at Su Jin and said, "Deputy Envoy Su, Deputy Envoy Liu is right, we are here to negotiate, not to fight of."

Su Jin said: "I didn't want to fight, Master Xiao didn't pay back the money he owed, and even wanted to break my neck. Although Su Jin's life is worthless, it can't be taken for nothing. "

Fu Bi looked at Liu Liufu and said, "Deputy Envoy Su is right. Your Chief Envoy Xiao is too domineering. You come to pinch people's necks whenever you disagree with him. This is the territory of the Song Dynasty. Chief Envoy Xiao did this on his own initiative. take its shame."

Liu Liufu cupped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, I apologize to everyone on behalf of Chief Envoy Xiao. It was just a misunderstanding on the spur of the moment. I can guarantee my life. Chief Envoy Xiao was just on a whim and wanted to catch Deputy Envoy Su. No intention of harming his life."

Fu Bi turned to Su Jin and said, "Vice Envoy Su, there is no benevolence and righteousness in buying and selling, and the envoy will not be killed if the two countries are at war; how about exposing this matter?"

Su Jin sighed and said: "How can you not give face when the rich envoy speaks? In this way, if the envoy Xiao comes to admit his mistake, the matter will be exposed."

Xiao Temo heard it in his ears, although the boss was reluctant in his heart, he still walked forward, cupped his hands and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, I was impulsive at the moment, I hope you will forgive me; but Deputy Envoy Su also deceived people too much, Those horses are obviously good horses of my Khitan, but they are said to be inferior horses and waste, and you will be angry if they are relocated."

Su Jin smiled and said: "That can only be your fault. If you don't negotiate well with us, I will deliberately make things difficult for you. It's just a retaliation."

Xiao Temo said: "Don't say anything, we just came here to talk, this time we are all upholding the essentials of pragmatism, we are not allowed to exaggerate with dignity and threats, just complete the errand well."

Su Jin said with a smile: "Master Xiao changed so quickly, and his attitude took a big turn in this moment. It's really hard for me to accept it for a while."

Xiao Temo's face blushed, knowing that Su Jin was mocking him for playing around the wind, so he just pretended not to understand.

Su Jin's face suddenly turned cold, and he said indifferently: "But the negotiation is not something we can talk about if you say so. I am not interested in negotiating with you now, so we can talk about it later."

Xiao Temo said in amazement: "Sooner or later we have to talk, why delay? It's still early in the day, we still have to discuss one or the other. If we can't make a decision for a long time, it won't help the matter."

Su Jin said: "Sooner or later, we are going to die, so why are we still alive? It is rare to see my Dasong Sharpshooter Battalion training here. The new firearms are extremely powerful. I am going to watch it; if you are bored, you can go to see it." It’s okay to take a look, if you find it boring, please feel free, I won’t serve you.”

At the end of Xiao Te's mind, since Su Jin insisted not to talk about it today, it would be good to take this opportunity to spy on Song Jun's military situation; the thing in Su Jin's hand is probably the new type of firearm in his mouth, so you might as well go to find out. If we encounter them on the battlefield in the future, we should have countermeasures.

"Then the envoy will follow you to experience the glory of your country's soldiers. Anyway, you will be nestled in the post when you go back, and it will be no fun."

Su Jin smiled, it would be hell if Xiao Temo let go of this opportunity to spy, and immediately ordered someone to pass an order to Zhao Fang and tell them that he would watch the firearms training with the Liao envoy, and there must be no mistakes.

Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong got orders to loudly order the cavalry to reshape, and each led a cavalry team of about 200 people to quickly set up the formation.

Fu Bi, Su Jin, Xiao Temo and others walked slowly up to a nearby earthen platform for military parade, and looked around.

I saw more than 400 horse troops divided into ten rows, and each row of more than 200 people stretched more than [-] steps and lined up under the stage. Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong stood on both sides of the team with one holding a green command flag and the other holding a red command flag. .

Xiao Temo looked very strange at the costumes of these horsemen. There were three major cavalry items: long spears, short blades, and bows and arrows. They only had a short blade hanging from their waists. , but carrying a long black cloth bag, presumably it contains firearms.

Zhao Dehai rode his horse to the ground, and said loudly, "Report to Mr. Fu and Mr. Su, the preparations for the Ma Jun Sharpshooter Battalion have been completed, and I request to start training."

Fu Bi and Su Jin waved their hands as a reply; Zhao Dehai galloped to the front of the team with his fists in his hands and his bridle in hand, and the green horse in his hands raised high, shook three times and then fell down violently.

I saw more than forty people in the first row of the cavalry quickly untie the black cloth bags behind them, and took out black pipes inside, the style was exactly the same as the one Su Jin took out just now, and they were all black and shiny. The dense things are made of unknown materials.

"Charge it! Reload it! Tamp it down!" Zhao Dehai shouted.

The soldiers uniformly took out a small cloth bag the size of a thumb from the leather pouch on their waist and stuffed it into the clarinet.

Then, I grabbed a handful of something unknown from the other leather pouch on my waist and poured it into the tube. At the same time, I pulled out small sticks like magic, inserted them into the tube and pressed them tightly, and then held the rein with my left hand and squeezed the black tube with my right hand. He raised his mouth to the sky and stood by.

Xiao Temo laughed inwardly, the people of Song Dynasty are confused, with this skill, they have already patted their horses and rushed dozens of steps away, it is ridiculous that these people have been busy for a long time without even moving their horses' hooves, if they are on the battlefield, they may not be a living target .

"Target... the woods ahead!" Zhao Dehai shouted loudly, and at the same time the red flag in Fang Chengzhong's hand fell down.

The soldiers of the Song army on horseback did not urge the horses to charge, but took out the fire pockets one by one, blew them bright red, and ignited the fuze protruding from the side of the black pipe.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of scoffing in the field, puffs of blue smoke came out, and suddenly there was a series of explosions. The black pipes in the hands of the soldiers spewed out fire one after another, bursting out bursts of loud noises, and puffs of black smoke rose. .

The strange thing is that under such a huge momentum, there is nothing unusual in the woods ahead. The ammunition fired by these firearms is like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing silently. If there is no wind blowing, those trees may not even move. .

Xiao Temo's face was full of excitement, he tried his best to hide the gloating feeling in his heart, and pretended to be surprised: "This firearm looks really scary..." The implication is: it just looks scary, Can't see any power.

Su Jin was also dumbfounded. What's going on? Could it be that Zhao Fang and Zhao Fang didn't make arrangements?Or did the gunpowder get wet from the rain and lose its effectiveness?Now it's a shame to throw it home.
