Why did there suddenly appear a commotion in the camp? Wang Xuanqing carefully observed this scene.

"Someone sneaked into the mountains and cut off our water supply. ”

"Quick, go to the water source. ”

"Report, Childe is gone!"

"What? He must be looking for that woman, quick, bring a few people to him!"

Xuanqing looked at a dark shadow nearby, and looked at it, wasn't it the young man before?

"Where the hell is she being held? ”

"Gong ...... Son. ”

"Miss Wang, don't speak loudly, beware of being heard by others, ...... When I went to see you in the tent, I found that you broke the rope and ran away, but I was so anxious. Only then did the boy relax.

"In case you are discovered by the night watchman, I am afraid that I will not be able to save you, and Grandpa Xiang will definitely not agree. ”

"Childe...... You're here to save me?"

"There are a lot of things that I can't say now...... Anyway, I can't let you be separated from your family for my own selfish desires, right?"

Wang Xuanqing's heart moved, this young man is a sincere person, but ...... In such a world, such a person is afraid that he will not live long.

"Anyway, don't run away by yourself, why don't you come with me, there is a remote hill in the southwest, usually unguarded, I'll send you down the mountain." ”

"Yes, but on the orders of the child. ”

......

At this time, someone had quietly slipped down the mountain, and was quietly approaching this side.

"Childe, what do you see over there?"

"Huh, who's going to be ...... at this time," the boy looked in the direction of her finger.

Suddenly, he felt a hand covering his nose and mouth, and then a heart-rending pain came from his heart.

"Shh......h Don't be quiet, be quiet......" a male voice said quietly.

The boy fell to the ground, and the man wiped the blood stained on his sword, only to see that the white rainbow sword flashed with a trace of demonic light under the reflection of the moonlight.

"Why are you here?" Wang Xuanqing looked at the man, a little displeased.

"Isn't that worrying about you...... I don't want my woman to stay in someone else's camp for long. The man said sullenly.

"So, your mission is complete?"

"Naturally, now, there are only ten of them left here, and the highest is only the second ground lock, with the skills of the two of us, it is not difficult to clear himself before the old guy with the fourth ground lock returns. The man said seductively.

"Are you trying to stimulate my potential?" Wang Xuanqing looked at the man a little helplessly.

"The more critical the situation, the stronger the courage and faith that people can burst out, and the same is true for the dragon, if there is no stimulation from a strong enemy, I am afraid that the dragon will ascend to heaven in the distant future. ”

"I'll believe you, so, who are you responsible for?"

"Five here are mine, and five over there are yours. ”

"It's okay, save the two of us from robbing. ”

"Let's see who solves it first. ”

"Okay, do you want to raise?"

"If I solve it first, you have to follow me tonight, you have to go wherever I go, and if I am slower than you, then I will do whatever you want. ”

"Huh...... In the end, it's not like you're going to take advantage of ......."

"Don't say that, anyway, we are also the husband and wife that Ming Media is marrying. ”

"By the way, do you have the thing you prepared earlier? Why don't you give me one?"

"I've got five hidden, and if you want to, you'll have to be faster than me. ”

"Well, if I'm faster than you, you'll have to give me two guns. ”

"No problem. ”

The next moment, the two of them rushed out back to back.

The bet between the two people before was actually a weapon that should not have appeared in this era at all, the flintlock pistol.

The flintlock pistol, invented by Mahan, a Frenchman born in 1547 (mid-16th century) in a family of gunsmiths, locksmiths and watchmakers, was improved on the basis of the revolving musket, the clockwork wheel was removed, a piece of flint was clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and an anvil was provided on the side of the fire hole.

The firing process is greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy are improved, it is easy to use, and the cost is low, which facilitates mass production. In the middle of the 17th century, many European armies were generally equipped with flintlock pistols until 1848, which was more than 200 years old.

Born in the mid-16th century into a family of gunsmiths, locksmiths and watchmakers, Mahan was determined to change the evils of the revolver. In his eyes, the revolver musket was complex, expensive to build, and could not reliably fire when the drum was contaminated.

Mahan's delicate hands finally removed the clock-bearing steel wheel and instead clamped a flint between the jaws of the hammer. He also had an anvil on the side of the fire hole, and if he needed to shoot, he pulled the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the flint hit the side of the fire door heavily, and sparks appeared, igniting the gunpowder.

This firing mechanism is called a percussive flintlock machine, and a firearm equipped with an impingement flintlock mechanism is called a percussive flintlock pistol.

The advantages of the percussive flintlock pistol are self-evident, it greatly simplifies the firing process, improves the rate of fire and accuracy of shooting, is easy to use, and has a lower cost, which facilitates mass production. Just after Mahan made his first flintlock pistol, his fame quickly spread across the continent.

Mahan's invention won the French a reputation in Europe, and King Henry IV of France couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In 1598, Henry IV summoned Mahan to this purpose, and he was surprised to find that the inventor of the flintlock pistol was not only an invention of firearms, but also a rare genius in the field of painting and engraving. Henry IV then appointed Mahan as his "court's valet".

Mahan's fate was thus rewritten, but the fate of the flintlock pistol was not so smooth.

On May 14, 1610, Henry IV was stabbed with a knife on his way to visit his minister Sully in a carriage. With the death of Henry IV, the process of equipping the troops with flintlock pistols stalled. Many French generals objected to the arming of flintlock pistols on the grounds that "the sparks from the flint were not enough to ignite black powder." ”

But the torrent of history is unstoppable. In the middle of the 17th century, many European armies began to be armed with flintlock pistols. What is shocking is that after the flintlock pistol was equipped with the army, it was out of control and was used until 1848, when the equipment was ended.

The development of flintlock pistols is divided into revolt muskets to flintlock pistols. The revolver musket was created on the basis of overcoming the inconvenience of the arquebus, but there is no accurate account of its birth. Some people believe that the German watchmaker Johann Kiefers invented this gun, others say that it was an Italian scientist who invented the wheel ignition device, and some people vividly say that the inventor of this gun is an Italian chicken thief, and make up such a seemingly credible story: this chicken thief often goes to be a gentleman at night, and the main tool he uses when stealing chickens is the arquebus, but the arquebus is easy to expose the target, so he used his brains to invent this more concealed revolver lighter.

The story of the invention of the revolver by the German watchmaker Johann Kiefers is generally considered to be more credible. According to the story, Kiefers, who was born in the early 16th century, was famous in the world of watches, not only for his ability to make all kinds of beautiful watches, but also for all kinds of firearms, and to make many beautiful arquebuses himself.

One day, a guest came to Kievers's house, and when the guests smoked and lit the fire, they used the ancient flint friction method to light the fire instead of the popular matches, and the shining sparks of flint instantly aroused Kiefers's inspiration, and he combined the serrated rotating steel wheel on the clock with the flint capable of producing sparks, and with his experience and wisdom, he succeeded in developing the world's first revolving rifle in 1515.

Kiefus's invention of the revolver attracted the attention of the German military, and soon the gun began to be equipped with German cavalry and infantry, and in 1544, when Germany went to war with France, the German cavalry was armed with a revolver and the French army was still armed with arquebuses.

In the course of the battle, the French army armed with arquebuses barely fired a single shot, while the German cavalry, which used the revolver musket as the main weapon, became more and more brave and defeated the French soldiers. Soon, the defeated king of France also hired a considerable number of cavalry of the same kind, which were also armed with revolver muskets. In this way, the revolver musket slowly became the main weapon of the cavalry.

However, the revolver is not perfect, it is not only complex in structure, expensive to build, troublesome to use, and can not reliably fire when there is contamination on the steel wheel, so people began to develop a new "ignition" method.

Soon, the Spaniards living in the Iberian Peninsula invented the flintlock pistol, they removed the clock-bearing steel wheel, but clamped a flint on the jaws of the hammer, there was an anvil on the side of the fire transmission hole, if it was necessary to shoot, the trigger was pulled, and under the action of the spring, the flint was hit heavily on the side of the fire door, sparks appeared, and the ignition powder was ignited, this firing mechanism was called a percussive flintlock machine, and the firearm equipped with an impingement tunnel firing mechanism was called a percussive flintlock pistol. The impact flintlock pistol greatly simplifies the firing process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and has a low cost and facilitates mass production. By the 80s of the 16th century, the armies of many countries were armed with such ramming flintlock pistols.

Born in the mid-16th century into a family of gunsmiths, locksmiths and watchmakers, Mahan made significant improvements to the flintlock pistol, and he succeeded in developing a reliable and perfect firing mechanism and insurance mechanism, which made it the best performing gun of its time, earning France honor.

King Henry IV of France summoned him to the palace as a personal attendant to make firearms for the court, and by the mid-17th century, the flintlock pistol was widely equipped with the French army, and later, it was copied and adopted by countries around the world until the mid-19th century.

The basic structure of a flintlock pistol is similar to that of a flintlock, that is, it uses the flint on the hammer to strike to produce sparks and ignite gunpowder.

The average caliber of the flintlock pistol is about 13.7 mm, because the reloading musket has not yet been invented, so this has made high requirements for the ammunition loading technology at that time, according to the previous loading method, when loading the projectile, the projectile needs to be put into the muzzle, and the cartridge is sent with a wooden hammer, and the gun is pushed into the chamber, which is very time-consuming, and on the battlefield, it means a waste of life.

Later, gunsmiths in Pennsylvania, USA, created a method of speeding up reloading, using a sheet of linen or deerskin soaked in grease to wrap the projectile and load it into the muzzle, which reduced friction, not only accelerated the reload, but also played a breath-holding role, which increased accuracy and range.

The history of the United States was almost rewritten by the flintlock pistol. During the 200 years of tunneling, many political and military events were closely related to the flintlock guns, especially the history of the American Revolution, which was almost rewritten by the tunnels.

During the American Revolution, a militia organized by the American People's Volunteers fired the first shots at the British colonialists.

Both Britain and the United States used flintlock pistols to fight from April 19, 1775, until September 1783, when the British government was forced to agree to American independence.

One day in October 1777, the third year of the Revolutionary War, the British and American armies faced off on positions 100~300 yards apart, and Major Forcayson, a sharpshooter of the British colonial army, received an order to kill an important American figure, Washington, the commander-in-chief elected by the people of the thirteen North American states.

One day, a casually dressed officer appeared on the American position, not even a single guard, and there was only a person who looked like an adjutant standing beside him, and when Forchemsen was holding a tunnel gun and scolding the formation, this careless American kept staring at the British position, and did not look like he wanted to flee at all, and Forkaisen thought that he could not be a big officer, and was not worthy of his life as a sharpshooter, so he did not shoot.

Later, Forkesen learned that this person was not only a high-ranking official, but also a well-known Washington. Imagine that when Forcaison fired a gun and Washington might lose his life, then the history of the United States could really be different.

In 1635, the eighth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Bi Maokang, a firearms researcher in the Ming Dynasty, also made a flintlock pistol.

Its construction and performance are not much different from the previous birds, mainly with an improved ignition device. The emergence of the self-generated fire gun has improved the arquebus ignition method used in China for more than 200 years to flint fire. This is a major innovation in the history of firearms in China.

Because the use of the fire rope ignition, there are many disadvantages, in the case of stormy weather, the gunpowder in the fire door is either blown away by the wind or wet by the rain, so that it cannot be fired, and sometimes it is misfired prematurely before it is aimed.

Bi Maokang recorded a percussive flintlock pistol, in which the tap of the buckle machine was pressed down, and it was angry due to the action of the spring rubbing against the flint.

In this way, not only did they overcome the difficulties caused by wind and rain in shooting, but they also did not need to press the faucet with their hands, so that the aiming was more accurate and they could be fired at any time.

The flintlock pistol is equipped with a flint automatic lighter device, which is not afraid of wind and rain and does not need to be ignited by the fire rope in advance, and the firing speed and accuracy are greatly improved. It is a significant change in the history of firearms in China.

It's a pity that after all, Shenzhou failed to usher in a new era of comprehensive reform of weapons and equipment, but could only make people sigh "The times have changed", and then they caught up, so that there was a stable and beautiful new life in later generations......

As the big killer weapon that he had been pressing at the bottom of the box since he crossed over, Ling Hao didn't intend to entangle with these people too much, that would only expose the fact that he was now hiding a big killing weapon, and what would inevitably follow would be endless trouble.

However, it's not a big problem to play with your wife, as long as she doesn't put it on her head.
