Chapter 44

Knowledge makes people progress. This word is divided into two parts. The first part is knowledge, and the second part is consciousness. Knowledge is knowing, and consciousness is understanding.

Zu Dashou's simple mind certainly didn't have knowledge about flintlock guns, let alone what rifling and Mini bullets were. So he was very surprised when he saw Li Xiao's men lying on the ground shooting. Because traditional matchlock guns,

You can't lie down and shoot.

More than seventy men were lying on the ground, forming a huge row. The scene was very spectacular!

Li Xiao was full of confidence. One company, not counting the company commander, had seventy-five flintlock rifles to deal with seven or eight birds. At a distance of one hundred meters, this was simply too easy. Looking at Zu Dashou's strong body,

This guy must be really spectacular when he runs naked.

The combination of rifling and Mini bullets has greatly increased the stability of the bullet. Now the soldiers are comfortable shooting at a distance of about a hundred meters. Although the crow is not big, it is bigger than the sparrow. The one that fell in the tree

The sparrow Li Xiao didn't dare to bet, but the crow that fell on the tree Li Xiao dared to bet with him.

"Master Mao, will there be any problem?" Wang Zaijin asked worriedly when he saw a large row of people lying on the ground.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Wang, don't worry. The reason for lying down and shooting like this is because when a person is holding a gun, the muzzle of the gun will inevitably shake. Look at their gun barrels. They are all placed on sandbags. This can minimize the impact of the gun.

The shaking of the mouth ensures the accuracy of shooting." Mao Wenlong explained to Wang Zaijin quite proudly. He was much better than Wang Zaijin in his knowledge of muskets.

Shooting lying down is the only way to shoot accurately. Although shooting a muzzleloader like this makes it difficult to reload after firing. But shooting birds is just a matter of bullets. As soon as the gun goes off, it will fly away.

That's right. The bird can't wait in the tree, waiting for you to reload it and then shoot again. It's hard to find such a stupid bird in the world!

Zu Dashou also heard Mao Wenlong's words, and his heart began to beat a little. Could it be that these people's firearms are so powerful? If you look closely, it seems that they are really different from the firecrackers in his own army.

"Aim! Get ready!" The company commander had already assigned the target and stood on the edge of the team and shouted loudly.

"put!"

There was a "crackling" sound, and everyone turned their eyes to the big tree in the distance. They saw the crows on the tree falling down as if they were possessed by evil spirits. Not even a crow had a chance to fly!

Birds are the most alert, and will fly into the air to watch at the slightest movement. Now, there is not even a chance to take off, which surprises everyone. Traditional gunpowder guns do not have this power.

After being stunned, everyone looked at Li Xiao, and then at Zu Dashou. The bet they had just made was very unrestrained, but they wanted to see how Zu Zongbing would come back.

"Heh! Heh! Heh! A magic weapon, a magic weapon! Today I have opened my eyes. With this magic weapon, why worry about the Tatars being immortal?" Wang Zaijin laughed and walked to the soldier who had just stood up.

He stretched out his hand to take the flintlock rifles in the soldiers' hands and look at them.

Unexpectedly, the soldier held on to the gun and refused to give it away. If Li Xiao hadn't been standing behind the fat old man, he would have smashed him with the butt of his gun.

"Little brother, can you show me?" Wang Zaijin was not angry, but asked the soldier with a smile.

"Our company commander said that you can give your head to those who want to eat, but not to those who want food. The man and the gun are there!" The soldier's big hand grasped the barrel of the gun tightly, but Wang Zaijin's hand strength couldn't beat him.

"Uh...!" Wang Zaijin turned his head to look at Li Xiao in embarrassment.

"Show the gun to Mr. Wang!" Li Xiao ordered, and the soldier immediately put the gun under Wang Zaijin's nose with both hands, almost hitting the nose of the supervisor!

"Oh! Haha!" Wang Zaijin was startled, took the gun and rubbed it carefully.

The hardwood butt and the shiny black cover exude a jet-black luster. It doesn’t seem to be much different from the Ming Dynasty’s bird musket. The Ming dynasty’s bird musket can hit this far, but it can’t hit at this distance.

So accurate.

Not to mention less than a hundred muskets, even two hundred muskets would not dare to shoot down all those crows. When the Ming army was doing target practice, Wang Zaijin saw it and said, "Crack!

"There will be a sound, and it will be good if there are more than a dozen holes in the target in the end.

That target is bigger than a horse. With a target as small as a crow, you can know the hit rate just by looking at it with your butt.

Pegasus, a private soldier, retrieved several crows and gave them to Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou was surprised to find that each crow had no less than three bullet holes in its body, and one crow even had five or six bullet holes in its body. It was not big.

The body was only connected by a bit of fur, and it looked miserable when it was torn apart.

What surprised Zu Dashou even more was that the bodies of these crows were all penetrated. In other words, the penetrating power of those bullets was quite strong. Although he was not sure whether they could penetrate the armor of the Jurchen Tatars, Zu Dashou felt that the bullets could penetrate the Tatars' armor.

The possibility of sub-armor is very high.

At this time, Zu Dashou was panicking. He didn't care about money, but he cared more about his face. A commander-in-chief took off his pants in front of everyone. He walked around the city wall naked for a few times, but his face looked like he was being raped.

The blind bear licked it, it was terrible!

Li Xiao looked at Zu Dashou mockingly. There were only two options before him. One was to give money, and the other was to run naked! Li Xiao felt that he was more inclined to the former. Although three thousand taels of silver was a lot, Zu Dashou was alone.

Commander-in-Chief, you can get it no matter what.

Wang Zaijin was laughing and joking with Mao Wenlong on the side, and Mr. Mao was quite cooperative. The two of them worked together to ease the embarrassing situation. Things in officialdom are just peace and harmony. Hello, me, everyone celebrate the New Year. This is the normal state in officialdom.

As for stabbing and stumbling, it has to be done quietly behind the scenes. Whoever spreads it on the table is mentally ill.

"Master Mao, Ji Liao's colleagues have prepared some thin wine in the official office for you all to catch the wind. Haha! You all have to get drunk today!" The two old glasses came to the end of complimenting each other. Maybe he also felt that there was nothing to do.

Chat.

"Thank you all colleagues, Wenlong is so good and capable. I will borrow the wine from the Superintendent today and have a few toasts to my colleagues." Of course Mao Wenlong took up what he had to say and smiled and held his hands in front of everyone.

"Master Zu, Commander Zu. Don't you want to default on your debt? You can either take three thousand taels of silver or take off your pants...!" Ao Canghai said "Hey" "Hey" and looked at Zu Dashou with a strange smile.

Both Wang Zaijin and Zu Dashou had embarrassment on their faces! Wang Zaijin looked at Mao Wenlong with a wry smile, and accurately positioned Mao Wenlong's position in this group of people. This old man, like himself, couldn't deal with his tiger-wolf subordinates.

It is the misfortune of all bosses to have such subordinates. The two old glasses immediately started to cherish each other!

Zu Dashou's face turned green and red. He had just spoken too much. The water he said was enough for ten thousand people to watch. It was unrealistic to take it back. Since the two nominal bosses and Ni Ni failed,

His ancestor Dashou could only face reality.

"Brother, it's just three thousand taels of silver. My brother paid for it for you. We won't lose this person." Wu Xiang said through gritted teeth.

The houses of these Liao soldiers were all occupied by Tatars. They fled so hastily that many of them did not bring out their belongings. These were the days when the people below were working hard to survive. The routine deduction of military pay, embezzlement and fraud

No one would dare to do such a thing.

As for taking the short quota! They all think that they have few people, so it’s good if they don’t exceed the quota. Do you still dare to take the short quota?

Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief, looks good on the surface. But he really doesn’t have much silver in his hands. He can take out these three thousand taels of silver with gritted teeth. But if Li Xiao really takes it away, Zu Dashou and his men will be in trouble.

It's time to eat the pickles.

Wu Xiang is quite interesting. Since his brother-in-law is in trouble, he will naturally draw his sword to help.

Li Xiao didn't speak, but everyone could see the evil smile on his face. Anyone who received three thousand taels of silver out of thin air would be very happy.

Zu Dashou bit his cheek very hard, as hard as a stone, and his temples bulged.

"Brother, if you are short of money, I can give you some support. We still need the face of the Liao Army!" He Kegang also stood up to support his brother.

"Uh...! Although Zhao is not rich, if Brother Zu is in trouble, feel free to talk to him." Everyone rushed to extend their hands, and Zhao Shujiao was embarrassed not to extend his hand.

"Humph!" Zu Dashou seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly he snorted coldly from his nose.

"This Lieutenant Ao, I don't know if your guy can be sold or not."

Ao Canghai didn't expect Zu Dashou to say this suddenly, and subconsciously turned to look at Li Xiao.

Everyone looked at Li Xiao with dismay. Ao Canghai's subconscious action was like telling everyone that the one who has the final say among them is not the superior Mao, but the young and young boss.

"Sell! Of course, but the price is a bit expensive. A gun, plus a hundred rounds of ammunition. A total of three hundred taels of silver." Li Xiao said calmly.

"Three hundred taels, you might as well grab it. The red-haired ghost's Fo Lang machine is not as expensive as yours." Wu Xiang roared angrily.

"Then you go to the red-haired ghost to buy it! Why are you looking for us!" Old God Ao Canghai looked at Wu Xiang with disdain on his face. In the past, he could not rely on the adults in front of him, but now he is stepping on him.

Being trampled under his feet made Mr. Ao very happy.

"You...!" He Kegang gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just grab it with all his strength! These few people are now famous people in the court, and the consequences of robbing them will be very serious.

Zhao Shujiao's eyes were rolling wildly. He had seen these firearms in North Korea. Knowing the power of this thing, if their guy is willing to sell it, it would be good news for him. These days, the guy in his hand is the last word.

.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Three hundred taels, right? That means three thousand taels of silver can buy ten. Well, I, Zu Dashou, took off these pants." Zu Dashou laughed and walked up to the tower in full view of everyone, wearing his belt.
