As the military order was issued, the two hundred gunmen immediately took off their guns. The row in front was half-crouching, and the row behind was standing.
The nearly a thousand Detachment of Women behind them quickly opened the bamboo basket and took out projectiles and gunpowder.
These people all serve the two hundred gunmen in front.
A female general is reporting to female She.
"After several months of improvement, some adjustments and changes were made to the muskets and artillery on the original basis, and a tactically lethal formation was developed.
Since loading projectiles and gunpowder into a musket is time-consuming, we chose the double-row shooting mode.
Each musketeer is equipped with three soldiers responsible for loading gunpowder and projectiles, as well as a backup.
If a shooter falls, a replacement will take her place as soon as possible."
As soon as the words fell, a popping popping sound was heard.
The row of gunners squatting in front fired first, and then passed the empty muskets to the back. The auxiliary soldiers behind them immediately took them, and then handed over a freshly loaded musket.
During this process, the standing row of gunmen also completed their shooting.
The same is true for actions.
Rows of projectiles roared out, and the human-shaped wooden stakes more than ten feet away in front were suddenly riddled with holes.
Due to the tacit understanding of cooperation, it takes almost five breaths to complete a volley.
After five consecutive salvos, the targets in front were all shattered.
Seeing that the power and accuracy of the musket were much improved compared to the first sample brought by Ye Xiaochuan, the female She was very satisfied.
Under such intensive and powerful firepower, the advantages of the Celestial Soldiers will be lost.
Next is the demonstration of artillery.
Target positions have been marked on the hillside.
After a loud noise that shook the earth, almost all the target positions suffered devastating blows. The female general said: "Although the range of the artillery is not as good as the sky fire beast, it is far beyond the range of the eight-oxen crossbow. Through our many
After many tests, these solid iron balls can easily penetrate the giant warrior's solid wood shield from a distance of three hundred feet.
.And it can cause fatal damage to giant warriors.
If a defense line of several hundred feet is equipped with dozens of artillery pieces and hundreds of musketeers, the lethality will be huge.
It's a pity that both artillery and muskets need to be refined from refined iron. The muskets are okay, after all, they are not big and can be mass-produced.
But artillery requires too much refined iron. One artillery requires thousands of kilograms of refined iron.
So far we have only produced forty artillery pieces and five thousand muskets.
According to His Majesty's instructions, ten artillery pieces and five hundred muskets were given to Zhan Ying through the wizards of southern Xinjiang."
Female She nodded.
He asked: "With our current scale of refining refined iron, how many cannons can we produce in a month?"
The female general said: "Thirty gates at most."
"Too little."
Female She was very dissatisfied with this.
Thirty doors a month means just over 300 doors a year.
This is almost a drop in the bucket for corps operations that often number millions or tens of millions.
This wise Majesty has a strong premonition that within half a year at most, the world will usher in a large-scale battle between mortal armies.
At that time, artillery and muskets will come in handy.
If there are only more than a hundred artillery pieces by then, it will be of no use at all.
Production capacity must be increased tenfold.
The female general was in trouble.
Ten times?
Now, being able to produce thirty artillery pieces a month is already the limit and cannot be improved at all.
Female She said: "The artillery is limited by fine iron, so it is very slow. If the problem of fine iron is solved, everything will be solved.
In the battle of Jiuyin Mountain, the heaven realm was defeated. There will be no big fight in the human world for some time to come.
I will ask Nu'e to bring back 30,000 monks to help you refine refined iron."
Fine iron is not ordinary iron.
All iron is extracted from iron ore.
Refined iron is extracted from ordinary iron.
The most important process is high-temperature forging.
Then add some other substances to make the iron harder.
Female She had great ambitions. Before the decisive battle, she would forge at least 5,000 cannons and millions of muskets for the world.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't know the changes in the world in the past two days.
He is currently studying the Youquan Pagoda.
He was not racking his brains like others, trying to decipher the contents of the second half of the Death Picture.
Instead, he put his hands behind his back and walked in circles around Youquan Pagoda, observing every detail of Youquan Pagoda.
There were also people who had the same thoughts as him, holding the picture of seeking death and comparing it to the Youquan Pagoda.
After walking around the Youquan Pagoda, Ye Xiaochuan discovered that the shape of this pagoda was very strange.
There are actually nine sides on the first floor, and each side has a door.
This corresponds to the "Nine gates stop under the Nine Nether Pagoda, and the nine gates stop and the eight gates die. The eight gates, four spirits, and one disciple live, and one gate lives and turns into a solitary lamp."
Of these nine gates, only one is the gate of life, and the other eight gates are all gates of death.
Ye Cha said: "Boy, you not only have to figure out how to open the nine gates, but also choose the only gate of life after the nine gates are opened. If you make a mistake, you will be in danger."
Ye Xiaochuan nodded slightly.
At first, Ye Xiaochuan thought that this pagoda only had one gate, which was the gate where the Thirteen Heaven-Slaying Swords hung.
Because that door is the most conspicuous.
Unexpectedly, this pagoda has so many doors.
One in nine opportunities to choose the right one made Ye Xiaochuan murmur in his heart.
After walking back and forth around the pagoda seven or eight times, Ye Xiaochuan found a secluded corner and sat cross-legged.
Then he took out every item that might be a clue.
A rice paper with a death wish written on it.
Die la die la gave him the ancient moon-printed coin.
Sky-breaking gun.
Four riddles copied from the Pokong Tomb.
The last piece of paper I took out also had a riddle written on it.
Not long ago, when he was at the ancestor's ancestral hall in Cangyun Houshan, Yao Xiaoyu pointed out to him that the Death Map and the Youquan Pagoda were passed down from generation to generation by the White Fox clan.
There are only four sentences in total.
The five elements and eight trigrams are like wind, thunder and lightning, so close to each other and so far away.
The beginning is the end and the end, and the end is the beginning and end.
This is all the information Ye Xiaochuan currently has about the death-seeking map and the Youquan Pagoda.
Ye Xiaochuan focused on the Po Kong Tomb verse and the riddle Yao Xiaoyu gave him.
The verses in Po Kong Tomb have been confirmed to be used to decipher the first half of the death-seeking diagram. The five elements and eight trigrams contained in it are very consistent with the first two sentences of the riddle that Yao Xiaoyu sent to him.
As for the last two sentences, Ye Xiaochuan had seen them too many times and didn't take them seriously.
Set these two pieces of paper aside.
Finally, my eyes fell on the death-seeking picture.
The last few sentences of the picture of seeking death: "The lonely lamp picks up the gun and shoots through the sky, and the sound comes from Jiuyou.
Jiuyou Xunke Lingbaohu, the creation picture of the Lingbaohu legend.
Under the creation map, there is a fire, and the fire ignites the enlightenment of the three realms."
Ye Xiaochuan felt that it had nothing to do with cracking the Youquan Pagoda. Instead, he told future generations that the Youquan Pagoda was guarded by a treasure-hunting spirit fox and contained the fire of hope.
