It was like a gunshot in the woods where the birds were chirping, and everything was completely silent for a moment. Everyone froze in place with their mouths open, their eyes focused on the small black tube in Su Jin's hand.

Su Jin's hands felt very hot and uncomfortable. This thing really didn't work very well. No wonder Zhao Dehai warned him when he came here that he should wrap his hands with a wet cloth when using it to avoid being burned.
However, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the pattering spring rain had no effect on this simple musket. It still fired loudly after being ignited, which was enough to reassure people at critical moments.
Xiao Temo's eyes wandered over the exploding black mud pit and the tube in Su Jin's hand. He couldn't believe that the big steaming pit on the ground was actually the small black tube in Su Jin's hand.
caused.
Of course Xiao Temo has seen firearms, including rockets, fireballs, and fire caltrops on the battlefield, but Xiao Temo has always scorned such gadgets. To him, these crooked gadgets are simply not as good as his black iron.
The mace worked, and one blow of the stick would shatter a brain's skull. Besides the long range and choking smoke from these firearms, it was difficult for them to do any serious damage to soldiers wearing armor.
Take Tribulus terrestris as an example. During small military conflicts on the border between Song and Liao, we often saw this object thrown by the Song army. Although the small fragments inside could be embedded in the flesh after being exploded, they could only penetrate less than half an inch. In addition to giving
Apart from the many pockmarked faces of Daliao soldiers, there were no fatal injuries 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 war, the soldiers were still alive and kicking.
Later, when they fought again, after the Liao soldiers uniformly wore thick face coverings, these devices 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 suddenly exploded a deep pit the size of a washbasin on the ground. If it hit a flesh and blood body, the consequences would be disastrous (Latest Chapter of the Demon in the Ancient World).
The sound of hoofbeats rumbled not far away, and hundreds of horsemen galloped over. The first two people were Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong. When they heard the explosion, they immediately arrived with the cavalry brigade.
In Xiao Temo's opinion, it was the garrison from the school field who came after hearing the news. The opponent was also a cavalry. At this moment, they had an absolute advantage in numbers. Xiao Temo's feverish brain suddenly woke up and realized that his situation was already very bad.
Zhao Fang's two cavalry teams quickly surrounded everyone. Zhao Dehai jumped out of the crowd, raised his hands on the horse and shouted: "Mr. Su, what happened? I am here to serve you. I am here to be dispatched."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "It turns out to be Zhao Dutou, why are you here today?"
Zhao Dehai said: "Reporting to Mr. Su, Commander Fang and I led the troops to practice firearms formations here. We came here when we heard the sound."
Su Jin said: "Stand where you are, ready to charge at any time."
Zhao Dehai shouted: "As ordered." He turned his horse's head and entered the queue.
Xiao Temo was able to pick it up and put it down, but the hero did not suffer the immediate loss. He quickly waved his hand and ordered the Liao soldiers to put away their weapons. He also hung the mace on the saddle and winked at Liu Liufu.
Liu Liufu secretly cursed in his heart, you were the one who acted like a hero just now, and now I have to help you do the thing that makes you lose your temper. It is really not good. But it is a matter of life and death for the mission, and it is the order of the superior officer, so Liu Liufu has no choice but to hold on.
Scalp forward.
"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Both adults should calm down. It is a major matter between the two countries. It is best for them to be patient." Liu Liufu said this to Su Jin, but he looked at Fu Bi with a pleading look.
color.
Fu Bi naturally understood that Su Jin could not arrest them all, otherwise things would reach a deadlock, 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. Mr. Xiao refused to pay back the money he owed and wanted to break my neck. Although Su Jin's life is worthless, he can't just let others take it away."
"
Fu Bi looked at Liu Liufu and said: "Deputy Ambassador Su is right. You, Commander Xiao, are too domineering. You just pinch people's necks if you disagree with them. This is the realm of the Song Dynasty. Commander Xiao is doing this out of his own free will."
Take it for shame."
Liu Liufu cupped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I apologize to you all on behalf of Commander Xiao. It was just a misunderstanding on impulse. I can guarantee my life. Commander Xiao was just impulsive and wanted to catch Deputy Ambassador Su. Absolutely
There was no intention of harming his life.”
Fu Bi turned to Su Jin and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, business cannot be done without justice. The two countries are at war and we are not going to kill the envoy. How about exposing this matter?"
Su Jin sighed and said: "How can you not give face to your rich boss when he speaks? In this way, if Mr. Xiao comes to admit his mistake, the matter will be exposed."
Xiao Temo heard this, and although he was reluctant in his heart, he finally stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, I am impulsive, and I hope you can forgive me; but Deputy Envoy Su also went too far to deceive others.
Those horses are obviously our Khitan's good horses, but they are said to be bad horses and trash, and they have been moved to another place, and even you will be angry."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Then I can only blame you. If you don't negotiate with us properly, I will deliberately make things difficult for you, just retaliate for retaliation."
Xiao Te finally said: "Don't say anything. We have talked about it before. This time we are all pragmatic. We are not allowed to use threats or exaggeration. Just complete the job well."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Xiao changed so quickly. His attitude took a big turn in just a moment. It was really difficult for me to accept it for a while."
Xiao Temo's face turned red, knowing that Su Jin was mocking him for acting according to the prevailing situation, so he just pretended not to understand.
Su Jin's face suddenly turned cold and he said calmly: "But the negotiation is not something you say we will talk about again. I am no longer interested in negotiating with you now. We want to talk about it later."
Xiao Temo said in astonishment: "Sooner or later we have to talk, so why delay? It's still early in the morning, so let's discuss it one by one. If we delay it for a long time, it won't help."
Su Jin said: "Sooner or later, we will die, so why are we still alive? It is rare to see our Song Dynasty Sharpshooter Battalion training here. The new firearms are extremely powerful. I want to go and watch it. If you are bored, please feel free to do so."
It's okay to come and take a look, if you find it boring, please do it yourself, I won't wait for you."
Xiao Te finally thought, since Su Jin insisted not to talk today, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to spy on the Song Army's military situation. The thing in Su Jin's hand was probably the new firearm he talked about, so he might as well go and find out.
If we encounter them on the battlefield in the future, we might as well have a way to deal with them.
"Then I'd better follow you to experience the glory of your country's soldiers. Anyway, I'll just stay in the post house when I go back, which is no fun."
Su Jin smiled, thinking that Xiao Te would be damned if he missed this spying opportunity. He immediately ordered someone to send an order to Zhao Fang and the two of them, telling them that he would watch the firearms training with the Liao envoys and make sure nothing went wrong.
Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong received the order and loudly ordered the cavalry to form a formation. Each led a team of about 200 cavalry troops to quickly set up their formation.
Fu Bi, Su Jin, Xiao Temo and others slowly walked up to a nearby earthen platform for military parades and watched.
I saw more than 400 horse troops divided into ten rows, with more than 40 people in each row stretching for more than 200 steps under the stage. Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong, one holding a green command flag and the other holding a red command flag, stood in line respectively.
Both sides.
Xiao Temo looked at the attire of these cavalry soldiers and was very surprised. The three major parts of the cavalry were long spears, short blades, and bows and arrows. They only had a short blade hanging on their waists, no long spears on the stirrups, and no bows and arrows on their backs.
, but he was carrying a long black cloth bag, which must have contained firearms.
Zhao Dehai rode his horse to the foot of the earth platform and said loudly: "Report to Mr. Fu and Mr. Su, the Horse Army's Sharpshooter Battalion is ready. Please start training."
Fu Bi and Su Jin waved their hands as a reply; Zhao Dehai clasped his fists and picked up the bridle and galloped to the front of the team, raised the green horse in his hand, shook it three times, and dropped it suddenly.
I saw more than 40 people in the first row of the cavalry quickly untied the black cloth bags behind them and took out black tubes one after another. The style was exactly the same as the one Su Jin took out just now, and they were all shiny and black.
The densely packed things, I don’t know what material they are made of (read the full text of the online game Beauty Like Jade).
"Charge! Load! Tamp down!" Zhao Dehai shouted.
The soldiers uniformly took out a small thumb-sized cloth bag from the leather bag on their waist and stuffed it into the black tube.
Then he grabbed a handful of something unknown from another leather bag on his waist and poured it into the tube. At the same time, he magically pulled out small sticks, inserted them into the tube and pressed them tightly. Then he lifted the rein with his left hand and pulled the black tube with his right hand.
Stand by with your mouth facing the sky.
Xiao Temo secretly laughed in his heart. The Song people were confused. With this skill, they had already rushed dozens of steps away from the horse. It was ridiculous that these people had been busy for a long time without even moving the horse's hooves. If they were on the battlefield, they would not be easy targets.
.
"Target...the woods ahead!" Zhao Dehai shouted loudly, and at the same time, the red flag in Fang Chengzhong's hand fell down.
The Song soldiers on horseback did not urge their horses to charge. Instead, they took out fire sticks one by one, blew them brightly, and lit the fuses protruding from the side of the black tube.
Suddenly there was a loud sneer in the field, and puffs of blue smoke came out. There were sudden explosions, and the black pipes in the hands of the soldiers spurted out flames one after another. There were loud noises and puffs of black smoke.
.
The strange thing is that with such a huge momentum, there is nothing unusual in the woods ahead. The ammunition fired by these firearms disappears silently like a mud cow entering the sea. If there is no wind, those trees may not even move.
.
Xiao Temo looked excited, trying his best to hide the gloating 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 was going on? Did Zhao and Fang not make arrangements? Or was the gunpowder soaked by the rain and lost its effectiveness? This was really embarrassing.
