(This chapter is updated for the book friend Infinitely Cute Dragon Orpheus)
Chang'an City
Compared with tens of thousands of dollars, the deterrent effect is far from enough.
Especially in an era when there were no modern scientific methods, it was even more difficult for you to find someone in a vast land. Especially in this era, although the household registration system was relatively good, it was only good.
There is not just one person walking in the real darkness, or he may be living in the mountains secretly and then come out after a few years.
One of the people in the crowd confronting Lonely Hong grabbed the horizontal knife in his hand and pointed it at Lonely Hong: "Brothers, come on, if you do this, you will have no worries about eating and drinking in your life."
After hearing the instigation of their boss, the desperate disciples below grabbed the horizontal knives in their hands and shouted in a low voice: "Kill"
"Finding wealth through danger"
"Kill them"
They swarmed towards Lonely Hong.
Seeing someone taking action, others naturally followed suit.
Lonely Hong looked at the situation and ordered his subordinates: "Use the crossbow."
"promise"
Baiqisi's men took out their short crossbows and fired at the crowd.
There is a crossbow
The other party took out his short bow and fired back at Lonely Hong and the others.
Why the other party doesn't have a crossbow? It's not because he doesn't want to, but it's more difficult to make. In this era, the requirements for bow and arrow production technology are very high, and the production cost is not low. Crossbows are more cautious.
Moreover, the production process is also kept in the hands of a very few forces, and they will not spread it to outsiders. Especially the production and preservation of military crossbows are stricter. Losing one is a serious case.
It would be nice to have a short bow
Lonely Hong and the others were all wearing inner armor when they came. After the two sides shot at each other, the people on Lonely Hong's side were only slightly injured, while many on the opposite side were directly shot to death by crossbow arrows.
The battle damage on both sides was revealed.
However, the examples are not enough after all. After the first round of crossbows, it will almost be a close fight.
The desperadoes who rushed at the front started fighting with Baiqisi's people.
Most of the Baiqisi came from the military camp, and their cooperation was not comparable to this group of people.
The front pair fought, while the rear pair loaded crossbows and continued to shoot at the enemy.
Coupled with mutual cooperation, despite the large number of people on the other side, the impact seems to be quite fierce. In a real confrontation, even if three people fell here, none of them would die.
In an attic not far away, several gorgeously dressed people with bamboo hats sat together, pointing at the battlefield on Lonely Hong's side.
One of them spoke
"This group of people on the other side is not simple. Your people are finished, old three."
The person who was called the third child was very dissatisfied: "Second child, please stop teasing me. What's wrong with your family? You're going to kill the little version."
"You guys, second and third, stop arguing. I think we might as well forget it this time. What do you think, brother?"
The person sitting in the main seat tapped the table with his finger: "Well, the other party is not a simple person. If we can't eat this time, our life will be difficult in the future."
The second child: "Look, the fourth brother, the elder brother said he was going to eat it."
The fourth child was speechless for a while: "Brother, we maintain this black market by relying on the rules. If we do this business after the rules are broken, will those noble princes from aristocratic families still come?"
"Don't ruin our business just for temporary money."
The boss was obviously a little dissatisfied with the persuasion game played by the fourth child and reprimanded him: "The fourth child, you don't know the value of this drawing. The informant just said that this is the drawing of the sail on the ship."
In addition to the oars, the ships of this era actually relied on the sails to provide the greatest power.
Except for things like going down the river, sails account for 80% of the power source. They naturally think that this is the most critical position in the drawing.
Actually, it was Li Mingda who threatened me with the sails from the double-hulled aircraft carrier model. Just kidding.
It's just a joke
Naturally, these bumpkins don’t know.
I thought I had caught some huge treasure and wanted to get rich. In fact, I didn’t know that he was just a courier.
Fighting
Lonely Hong naturally began to lose manpower, and the opponent suffered more casualties. Seeing that he had not yet killed him, and having no idea of the opponent's number in the dark, Lonely Hong made plans to summon reinforcements.
"grown ups?"
Lonely Hong: "I plan to recruit reinforcements."
"But won't our identities be exposed in this way?"
Lonely Hong: "Even if we can escape, the corpses of our brothers will reveal our identities. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the Lord to blame us."
"My subordinates understand, now prepare to fire arrows."
Lonely Hong nodded: "Well, get ready."
"promise"
After the two of them finished talking, one of their subordinates escaped from his arms and a black paper roll with a twist on it came out.
There is a line of words written on the scroll of paper.
Cloud-Piercing Arrow
A cloud-piercing arrow
Thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other
Then below is a smiling face O(∩_∩)O~~
Needless to say, everyone knows that the production process comes from Li Mingda and Murong Xue, and the round shape is the two kicks.
Not the kind of two-kick that ping-pongs twice.
It's not the kind of kicker that can kill a small country with a huge mushroom cloud.
Instead, it adds a double kick like a double cannon with a fireworks effect.
And there are two types of this
The first one is to throw the bamboo tube into a fixed target on the road, such as vertically into the sky, and the second one is to hang it on the arrow and use it to aim at the target.
In addition to the guidance of concentrated fire, the effect is just scary. Look, it's like a firework bomb exploding in your face.
It would be strange not to be shocked
These are all by-products of research in the workshops. In fact, the main goal is to study bullets and cannonballs. Due to the complicated craftsmanship of bullets and cannonballs, they cannot be made yet, so they can only be made for fun first.
However, in order to prevent Lao Li from knowing the true functions and production capacity of these gadgets, he only ordered the craftsmen to make a small amount of them for his own Jinyiwei and Lao Li's Baiqisi to use as special combat equipment.
Prevent the spread of these gadgets from causing turmoil in the era, especially if the core technology of the gadgets is mastered by the enemy. Bury a ton or two in the place where you and Lao Li passed by, and you will go to heaven.
Lonely Hong brought the first type this time. He took out the bamboo tube and stood it on the ground, then lit the gunpowder twist of the cloud-penetrating arrow, and heard the gunpowder burning.
Ding
White smoke came out of the bamboo tube
when
Flowers exploded in the sky
A brilliantly colored firework appears in the sky
This sound attracted everyone's attention
The brilliant eyes naturally shocked everyone
"I'll go, what is this?"
"The sky is blooming"
"Momaya, what is this~!"
Jinyiwei and Baiqisi guards saw something unusual in the sky
After reacting, he immediately grabbed the hammer beside him to sound the alarm, but was stopped by someone.
People from Jinyiwei: "???"
The person who stopped him told him: "The princess has a collar. You don't need to support me when you see the cloud-piercing arrow today."
People from Baiqisi: "???"
The person who stopped him told him: "Your Majesty has other arrangements."
