Chapter 620: Negotiation (4)

It was like a gunshot in the woods where birds were singing and birds were singing, and everything fell silent in an instant, and everyone froze in place in shock, and their eyes focused on the small black cylinder in Su Jin's hand.

Su Jin's hands are uncomfortable, this thing is really not easy to use, no wonder Zhao Dehai warned himself when he came, he should wrap his hands in a damp cloth when he used it, so as not to be burned.

However, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the spring rain has not had an impact on this simple musket, and it still sounds after ignition, which is enough to reassure people at a critical time.

Xiao Temo's eyes wandered over the exploding black mud pit and the tubular object in Su Jin's hand, he couldn't believe that the steaming big dirt pit on the ground was actually caused by the small black pipe in Su Jin's hand.

Of course, Xiao Temo has seen firearms, rockets, fireballs, and thistles on the battlefield have all been seen with his own eyes, but Xiao Temo has never scoffed at this kind of thing, for him, these crooked things are not as effective as his black iron mace, a stick is a broken brain shell, and these firearms are difficult to kill the soldiers in armor in addition to shooting far and choking people with smoke.

Take thistle terrestris as an example, the Song army is often seen in the small military conflicts on the Song-Liao border, although the small fragments inside can be embedded in the flesh after exploding, but it can only enter the flesh less than half an inch, except for adding a lot of marijuana to the soldiers of the Great Liao, there is no fatal damage at all; As long as the eyeballs are not scratched by the fragments, and the fragments embedded in the flesh are dug up and pulled out with a knife after the battle, the soldiers are still alive.

Later, when the confrontation was re-engaged, after the Liao soldiers were uniformly covered with a thick face cloth, these things completely lost their effect, so that in the end, even the Song army was too lazy to use them.

But this thing in Su Jin's hand suddenly blew the ground into a deep pit the size of a basin, and if it hit the flesh and blood, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not far away, the sound of hooves rumbled, and hundreds of horsemen galloped over, the first two were Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong, who heard the explosion and immediately arrived with the horse army.

In Xiao Temo's opinion, this is the garrison of the school field rushing to hear the news, and the other party is also a cavalry, and the number of people is overwhelmingly dominant at this moment, which makes Xiao Temo's feverish brain suddenly sober up and realize that his situation is already very bad.

Zhao Fang's horse team quickly surrounded everyone, and Zhao Dehai came out of the crowd and shouted on the horse: "Master Su, what happened?" Inferior rank is at the mercy of the dispatch. ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "It turned out to be Zhao Dutou, why are you here today?" ”

Zhao Dehai said: "Back to Lord Su, Commander Fang and I led the troops to practice the formation of firearms here, and we rushed here when we heard the sound. ”

Su Jin said: "Stand by and be ready to charge at any time." ”

Zhao Dehai shouted: "Obey." "Turn the horse's head into the column.

Xiao Temo could afford to put it down, and the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the Liao soldiers to put away their weapons, and he also hung the mace on the saddle Victory Hook, and even glanced at Liu Liufu.

Liu Liufu scolded secretly in his heart, it was you who was the hero just now, and now I want Lao Tzu to help you do it, it's really not a thing; But it was a matter of life and death for the envoys, and it was the order of the officials, so Liu Liufu had to step forward.

"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, both adults are angry, it is a matter of great affairs between the two countries, it is better to be patient." Liu Liufu said what he said to Su Jin, but his eyes looked at Fu Bi with a pleading look.

Fu Bi naturally understood that it was impossible for Su Jin to arrest them all, in which case the matter would be at an all-round impasse, so he looked at Su Jin and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, Deputy Envoy Liu is right, we are here to negotiate, not to fight." ”

Su Jin said: "I don't want to fight, Lord Xiao doesn't pay back the money he owes, and he wants to break my neck, although Su Jin's life is not valuable, it can't be taken for nothing." ”

Fu Bi looked at Liu Liufu and said: "What Deputy Envoy Su said is also right, you Chief Envoy Xiao is also overbearing, and if you don't agree with each other, you will come to twist people's necks, this is the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lord Envoy Xiao is humiliating himself by doing this." ”

Liu Liufu arched his hand and said: "Yes, yes, I apologize to you for Chief Envoy Xiao, it was just an impulse misunderstanding, and I can take my life as a guarantee, Chief Envoy Xiao is just an impulse, I want to catch Deputy Envoy Su, and I have no intention of hurting his life." ”

Fu Bi turned his head to Su Jin and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, the transaction is not benevolent and righteous, and the two countries are still at war; How has this matter been revealed? ”

Su Jin sighed and said, "How can you not give face when you are a rich envoy speak?" In this way, if you want Master Xiao to admit his mistake, the matter will be revealed. ”

Xiao Temo heard it in his ears, and although the boss was reluctant in his heart, he finally stepped forward and arched his hand: "Deputy Envoy Su, I am impulsive, and I hope to forgive me; But Deputy Envoy Su also deceived people too much, those horses are obviously my Khitan good horses, but they are said to be bad horses, and if they change places, you will also be angry. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Then I can only blame you, you don't negotiate with us well, so I deliberately make it difficult for you, just report and report." ”

Xiao Temo said: "Don't say anything, we have talked about it here, this time we are all adhering to the pragmatic essentials, and we are not allowed to be majestic and intimidating, and we are going to complete the errand well." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Xiao has changed so quickly, and his kung fu attitude has taken a big turn this time, and it is really difficult for me to accept it for a while." ”

Xiao Temo's face turned red, knowing that Su Jin was sarcastically using the rudder when he saw the wind, so he only pretended not to understand.

Su Jin's face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "But the matter of negotiation is not that you say that we will talk about it again, the envoy is not interested in negotiating with you now, and we will talk about it later." ”

Xiao Temo was stunned and said: "Sooner or later, we have to talk, why postpone?" It's still early, let's still discuss one by one, and it won't help if we don't make a decision for a long time. ”

Su Jinsun said: "Sooner or later, we will die, so why are we still alive?" It is rare to see my Great Song Sharpshooter Battalion training here, and the new firearms are extremely powerful, so I wanted to go and watch them; If you are bored, you might as well come and see, if you feel bored, please take care of yourself, this envoy will not serve. ”

Xiao Temo thought for a while, since Su Jin insisted on not talking about it today, it would be better to take this opportunity to spy on the military situation of the Song army; The thing in Su Jin's hand is afraid that it is the new firearm in his mouth, so he might as well go to the bottom of it, and if he encounters it on the battlefield in the future, he will have a countermeasure.

"Then the envoy should follow you to appreciate the majesty of your soldiers, anyway, if you go back, you will be nested in the pavilion, and there is no fun."

Su Jin smiled, Xiao Temo could let go of this opportunity to spy on the hell, and immediately ordered someone to send an order to Zhao Fang and the two, telling them that he would bring the Liao envoy to watch the firearms training together, and that there should be no mistakes.

Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong received the order and loudly ordered the horse platoon to be shaped, and one led a team of about 200 horse troops to quickly set up the formation.

Fu Bi, Su Jin, Xiao Temo and others slowly walked up to a military parade earthen platform near the left, and watched with great eyes.

I saw more than 400 horse troops divided into ten rows, each row of more than 40 people stretched for more than 200 steps under the stage, Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong held a green order flag in one hand, and one hand held a red order flag, standing on both sides of the team.

Xiao Temo looked at the attire of these horse soldiers very strangely, the three major pieces of cavalry: spears, short blades, bows and arrows, they only hung a short blade around their waists, there were no spears on the horses, and there were no bows and arrows behind their shoulders, but they carried a long black cloth bag, presumably with firearms inside.

Zhao Dehai came to the bottom of the earth platform and said in a loud voice: "Hui Fu and Su, the Ma Army Sharpshooter Battalion is ready, and I request to start training." ”

Fu Bi and Su Jin waved their hands, which was a reply; Zhao Dehai clenched his fists and galloped to the front of the team, raised the green horse in his hand, shook it three times, and fell down violently.

I saw that more than 40 people in the first row of the cavalry quickly untied the black cloth bags behind them, and took out black pipes in them, and the style was exactly the same as the one Su Jin took out just now, all of which were black and shiny and densely entangled with dense turns, I don't know what material it was made of.

"Charge! Reload! Tamp! Zhao Dehai shouted.

The soldiers lined up in unison, and took a small cloth bag the size of a thumb from the leather pouch on their waists and stuffed it into the black tube.

Then he grabbed a handful of unknown things from the other leather pouch on his waist and poured it into the tube, and at the same time took out a small stick like a trick, inserted it into the tube and pounded it tightly, and then held the reins in his left hand and raised the mouth of the black pipe to the side of the sky with his right hand.

Xiao Temo laughed secretly in his heart, the Song people were confused, with this kung fu, they had already slapped their horses and rushed dozens of steps away, but it was ridiculous that these people were so busy that they didn't even move the horse's hooves for a long time, if they were afraid that they would not become a live target on the battlefield.

"Target...... The woods ahead! Zhao Dehai let out a loud shout, and at the same time, the red flag brush in Fang Chengzhong's hand fell.

The Song soldiers on horseback did not urge the horses to charge, but one by one they took out the fire folds, blew them red and brightly, and lit the fuse sticking out of the side of the black pipe.

Suddenly, there was a loud sneering sound in the field, and puffs of green smoke came out, and suddenly there was a series of explosions, and the black pipes in the hands of the soldiers spewed fire one after another, and bursts of loud noises erupted, raising puffs of black smoke.

Strangely, under such a great momentum, there was nothing unusual in the woods ahead, and the ammunition fired by these firearms disappeared silently like mud cattle into the sea, and the trees would not even move if it were not for the wind blowing.

Xiao Temo's face was excited, and he tried his best to hide the schadenfreude in his heart, and pretended to be surprised: "This firearm looks really scary...... The implication is: It's just scary to look at, and I can't see any power.

Su Jin was also dumbfounded, what is going on, didn't Zhao Fang and the two arrange it? Or was the gunpowder soaked in the rain and no longer effective? It's a shame to be thrown home.
