There are many people with sharp teeth on the rivers and lakes, but there is absolutely no one who is as unreasonable as Chang Wei; there are also many conspiracies and tricks on the rivers and lakes, but absolutely no one dares to frame them so blatantly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

People in the rivers and lakes rely on martial arts to speak, and those who shake their lips and drum their tongues will be looked down upon by others, and they will be miserable. Like the master of Beigumen, although he is a talent, he can rely on martial arts. Tang Jinyi has never seen a person like Chang Wei with high martial arts, high status and unreasonableness.

Chang Weitian shamelessly replied: "I don't rely on martial arts to mix the rivers and lakes, and the most powerful people never rely on martial arts!"

After Ma Yuan gave the signal to retreat, the artillery fire of the volunteer battalion stretched all the way from the Weishan camp on the bank of the Xue River to Xicangzhai in the valley.

The scout returned: The Weishan camp has escaped! This news made Liu Yongming not surprised. He immediately ordered all his troops to hold the wall and repel the officers and troops.

Although the plan to seize power failed, he was confident that with the steep terrain and perfect garrison of Xicangzhai, he would be able to block the attack of the official army. As long as this victory is overcome, the rumors of that little mongrel will be self-defeating, and when the time comes, he can openly cure him for the crime of escaping, and the military power is not a matter of being captured?

As for the officers and soldiers in front of him, what are these wastes? Liu Yongming has lost count of how many times he has fought the officers and soldiers since the incident. The guns of the officers and soldiers looked very powerful, but they were not accurate at all, so they could only join in the fun. When was the official army able to defeat the Holy Sect's army? Except for Yuan Keli in Jining City, the Holy Sect was afraid of that official army?

The only thing that made Liu Yongming a little uneasy was that Zhou Nian'an and Meng Xianhan were killed by that little bastard, and he needed to temporarily change the commander. However, there are only 30,000 officers and troops in front of him, and with the 50,000 elites of the Holy Sect who are not afraid of death under his command, even if there is no clever commander, he can easily win!

While Liu Yongming was thinking, countless battle flags were erected on the fields on the banks of the Xue River, and many heavily armed soldiers walking in the forefront were galloping back and forth in the river valleys and plains, checking the road ahead, ensuring that there were no ambushes and traps, and clearing roadblocks for the advancing army.

Because Liu Yongming contracted his defense and withdrew the entire army, the vanguard of the official army reached the foot of the mountain outside Xicangzhai without encountering the slightest battle.

One hundred and ten scouts avoided the front gate and began to climb the peaks on both sides with the intention of condescending to observe the situation inside the village and guide the army to shell. At this time, the officers of the Taiping Battalion gave an order, and sharp arrows hit the scouts like raindrops, and the sound of arrows piercing through the flesh and bones sounded at the same time as the screams of the officers and soldiers, and five or six corpses fell from the low mountain peak and fell into the dust.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scouts of the officers and soldiers ran down the hill one after another, and the cheers of the Taiping camp came from behind them, although in the battle of tens of thousands of people, this was only a trivial feat, but it could be regarded as a blow to the arrogance of the officers and soldiers, and it was a matter of cheering.

But they didn't notice that several of the scouts had inserted a dozen glass mirrors with bamboo poles attached to them in front of a small grove, and although they were only the size of a palm, they could clearly show the cold hairs on people's faces as long as they were well lit.

This thing was not brought by Westerners from Europe, but a new product in the workshop presided over by Song Yingxing.

This kind of freshness is quite troublesome to make. First of all, a piece of glass is put with tin foil and then poured with mercury, and after the mercury dissolves the tin, it forms a substance called 'tin amalgamation' that adheres tightly to the glass, and becomes a mirror blank. Then the glass is then evenly coated with a layer of tin amalgamation, inch by inch, and it takes a whole month to create a clear mirror.

As soon as this kind of glass mirror came out, it caused a sensation throughout Jiangnan and became a very fashionable thing. You must know that before this, only Europeans would make glass mirrors, and to transport glass mirrors to Daming, it would take months of bumps at sea to break easily, so a large piece of palm would be sold for thousands of taels of silver. Some dignitaries and wealthy businessmen have such a small side in their families, and they are treated as treasures and never show them easily.

Now it can be said that Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the people's homes, and the slightly richer families are proud to have a glass mirror. Xue Qian, who was in charge of the property, did not have a high price, and the palm-sized glass mirror sold for five hundred taels of silver.

According to Xue Qian: It is precisely because our glass mirrors are sold cheaply that ordinary rich people can afford to buy them, and the more money they make.

But the big bowl is 10,000 taels, and the largest side made by the workshop so far is the size of a door panel, priced at 1.08 million taels, and it was snatched away by Shen Kuang's father Shen Xiucheng as soon as it came out. Those who were in a hurry and could not afford to buy large glass mirrors wandered around the workshop door every day, and finally the guards were dispatched to drive them away.

There are also some time-honored brands that make copper mirrors who want to steal teachers, for the sake of safety, Song Yingxing and Xue Qian discussed, and simply bought a Jiangxin Island near Beigu Mountain, and placed the mirror workshop on the island to be strictly guarded, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. The island manufactures not only mirrors, but also goods such as clairvoyants, glasses, glassware, wine glasses, and vases......

In the cheers of the soldiers, Wang Zhuang, the number one gunner of the Volunteer Battalion, held the Qianli Barrel in his hand and carefully looked for the mirror, although it was midnight, the foot of Xicang Mountain was illuminated by artillery fire and bright torches, and soon he found the picture reflected in the mirror. Some of the barracks, forage fields, and the distribution of troops on the walled walls hidden in the valley can be seen.

"Gunner, listen up! Seven to the northwest, a thousand at a distance, and forty at an elevation angle. ”

In Wang Zhuang's shout, the herald quickly ran past the artillery position and conveyed the shooting parameters.

"Reload solid bullets, one test shot!"

The new artillery used by the Volunteer Battalion is now transported by gun trucks, which is not only convenient for movement, but also can adjust the direction at any time. There is a crank lifting device between the gun body and the gun carriage, which can accurately adjust the elevation angle, and the shooting error of each gun is extremely small.

"Aim at the target!"

"Calibrated run, one test shot!"

"Ignition!"

With the password, the middle of the first column of the artillery position began to fire, in the loud bang, the solid shell pulled the fiery red tail smoke to the West Cangzhai bombardment, under the strong recoil, the gun truck retreated three steps back, until it hit the fixed position did not stop, the artillerymen quickly pushed the No. 1 gun back to its original position, and nervously carried out the process of cleaning and boring and loading.

The fiery red solid iron cannonballs bombarded away with a sharp and sharp whistling, and Wang Zhuang saw the first calibrated cannonball accurately hit a barracks in the thousand-mile barrel, and lifted the civil structure of the house into the night sky.

"Damn, this new artillery is just easy to use! Die, White Lotus Thief!"

Wang Zhuang's trademark wolf howl resounded again, "All loaded with solid bullets, the first team is one thousand at a distance, the second team is one thousand and thirty, the elevation angle is increased by one, and the third team is one thousand and fifty, and the elevation angle is increased by one...... Barrage coverage!" (To be continued.) )
