Chapter 772: Mysterious Letter, Poisonous Warhead (2-in-1)
Xu Ding received the news and went down the mountain in person.
"The head of the Koji Yi is brought! Please check it. ”
It turned out that the war in Zhongshan Kingdom in Jizhou was also completely over.
With the soldiers and horses of Lu Yi and wisdom, he can't fight Xun You and others.
In the end, it was surrounded and annihilated.
Xu Ding picked up the box, saw the head of the koji righteous who had been pickled in lime, shook his head slightly, and then asked the person to close the lid and said: "Send it back to his hometown Qingzhou for burial, in the end, he is also a fierce general, and the treatment he deserves is still given to him." ”
"No!" At that moment, someone took the head of Luyi and ordered him to go out of the island and take a boat to his hometown in Qingzhou.
Of course, there were also people who did not leave, because Xu Dingken wanted to listen to the situation of the battle.
Xu Ding asked, "What happened to the first deceased?" ”
This is what Xu Ding is most concerned about.
Not to mention anything else, Lu Yi's ability to train the first army is still quite powerful.
Before leaving Jizhou, he also received a war report from Xun You and him to a draw.
Naturally, I am more attentive.
"Back to the lord, the Xiandeng army has been exhausted, and all of them have been killed in battle, which has brought us a lot of casualties."
It can be heard that the person who returns the favor is more respectful.
As long as he is a tough guy and has a good style, he is worthy of admiration.
Even if it is an opponent, it is worth admiring.
"It's a pity."
Although his own crossbowmen are better than Lu Yi, they are all compatriots in the end, and these people are somewhat regrettable for their losses in internal friction.
When he returned to the mountain, Xu Ding's mood was a little low.
It's obviously a victory, but it makes people feel a lot.
Xu Ding was also thinking about whether he should speed up the pace of the civil war and whether he should come up with a more powerful weapon.
Especially that thing that can destroy the world.
Three elements, Xu Ding doesn't understand, but he just knows that everything has pros and cons.
It seems to be a good thing, but if it is really thrown out, the world will completely change its taste.
The pollution is so serious and the damage is too great, like a Pandora's box, once it is released, it cannot be closed.
So Xu Ding has always been cautious and cautious.
This emotion was delayed until Cai Yan returned.
Cai Yong was finally moved, and he didn't care about Cai Zhenji's affairs.
The old man wants to devote himself to education, and the love between men and women is too brain-burning.
He couldn't take care of the young man's affairs, so he simply let them go.
Cai Yong agreed, and Huang Zhong, who was in Daijun, also wanted to come back, so Xu Ding issued an order to change the guard for Huang Zhong's department, and let Huang Zhong come back by the way.
Just when he put aside all his worries and was preparing to welcome the wedding of the two daughters, suddenly an urgent messenger of 800 miles came from Pingzhou.
The messenger ran all the way, and it took less than a day to run from Pingzhou to Huaguo Mountain, and he didn't know how many war horses he had lost.
"Report! Lord, Pingzhou Emergency ......"
The messenger fell off his horse and was carried into the mansion by the guard's brothers.
Xu Ding was also so shocked that he hurriedly put aside mundane matters to receive him, because the letter used the most urgent method.
This shows that there is really a great urgency.
Pingzhou originally belonged to the rear, there was no enemy in the north, and there was no enemy in the east.
Even if there are people in the local area who make trouble, it is difficult to leave the county and state, let alone send it to Huaguo Mountain on Weiyuan Island.
Take down the letter and Xu Ding opened it to take a look.
His brows suddenly fell together, and his face turned pale.
The crowd was also frightened.
I have never seen Xu Ding have such a look.
What big thing can happen in Pingzhou makes the lord so worried.
Fold the letter, Xu Dingdu took a few steps, and then threw the letter into the coal furnace, and the letter was burned directly.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Xu Dingdao: "Pass my order, assemble the left cavalry guard, notify Weiyuan Island, Qingzhou, and Liaodong to enter combat readiness, and be ready to fight at any time, and all armies must guard the city checkpoints, and at the same time ...... If I don't have a long-term message back, transfer the people on Huaguo Mountain to Jizhou. If something happens to me one day, please play the court, please ...... Forget it, at that time, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Mao Jue, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Fu Zhu, Ju, and others formed the Internal Affairs Yuan to maintain the overall situation......"
After saying that, Xu Ding left the hall, and then went to prepare for the trip.
Cai Yan and the others came over after hearing this, and asked with concern: "Husband, what happened, I heard that you ......?"
Xu Ding stretched out his hand and stroked the faces of the women, and comforted them one by one: "It's nothing serious, you can stay at home with peace of mind, if there is an order coming, you can do it, rest assured that your husband is invincible, nothing can stump me, wait for me to come back!" ”
The more the women listened, the more they felt, Xu Ding had never said anything like this, this was really a big day.
And it could be the one where the sky is falling apart.
"Husband......
"Take care of the children, my husband will return safely, remember to boil me porridge, boil it over a warm fire, it will ......be fragrant like that" Although there was a lot of reluctance, Xu Ding still turned around and left.
Mounted the war horse and rushed to Pingzhou with the left horse guard.
Before leaving, he went to the Instrument Department and gave him a piece of paper for Huang Chengyan to study and study.
At night, Huang Yueying came to the Instrument Department with her month-old son Xu Jiang in her arms.
"Yueying, what are you doing here?" Huang Chengyan was surprised when he saw Huang Yueying coming in a carriage late at night, still holding his infant grandson in his hand.
Huang Yueying said: "My husband left in a hurry, and he was dealing with something more urgent than the task of saving the world, he didn't reveal anyone, but he came to his father, I think he should want his father to do something for him?" ”
Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly: "Knowing the gentleman Mo Ruo's wife, knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, knowing his father Mo Ruo's daughter, knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father!" ”
"Husband knows I'll come?" Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly.
Huang Chengyan said: "He not only knows that you will come, but also knows that other ladies will also come, so let me tell you, you can't interfere in this matter, you can't do it, go back, tell everyone, believe in Bokang!" ”
Looking at Huang Chengyan with a serious face, Huang Yueying knew that Huang Chengyan could be petted no matter how much he loved him before, but this time he probably won't.
"Father, what the husband has told you is very important!" Huang Yueying is still a little unwilling, and what can be handed over to the Ordnance Bureau is the most important and complicated.
And she's sure to be able to help.
"It's very important, it can change the world, it can decide the direction of the world, and it can make the world tremble." Huang Chengyan replied.
"Then I ...... father"
"Don't ask, I don't know if I'm asking, and I won't tell you, go back, take care of Xu Jiang, it's the greatest support for him." Huang Chengyan said slowly, his eyes were also doting, but his expression was resolute and resolute.
"That'...... Hard work father! Huang Yue hugged Xu Jiang and bowed to Huang Chengyan, and then retreated and returned to Huaguo Mountain.
After Huang Yueying left, Huang Chengyan took out the paper that Xu Ding handed him over, looked at the faint sky and said, "I want to tell you, but I really don't know what this is?" ”
Xu Ding worked hard all the way, and finally entered Pingzhou, then passed through Lelang County and entered Andong County.
As soon as he entered the county, there was a net of heaven and earth and the army stationed in the place to report to him.
"Lord, those people are really powerful, they can kill people invisibly across a thousand steps, my brother is either killed in battle, or he is injured and unable to raise a knife and hold a bow, I am ashamed of the trust of the lord."
"Okay, don't be sad, the enemy will be killed, go down and rest." Xu Ding comforted the guard, and then looked at Xu Ying in the net.
Xu Ying stepped forward and reported: "My lord, after the bombing of the No. 1 mountain, the garrison rushed over, as they said, the enemy's weapons are too sharp, and they don't know what they are, and then they died in battle, according to our speculation, it is a more powerful hidden weapon than the sleeve crossbow, the range is super long, and the power is amazing."
We took it from our brothers who died in battle. ”
After speaking, one of Xu Ying's subordinates put on a small box.
After Xu Ding opened it, he saw several round bullet casings.
And look at the color, this is lead bullet.
Solid bullets.
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century things?
How is this possible.
The range of pointed copper bullets in later generations was only about 1,000 meters.
This thing can shoot so far.
Xu Ding reached out to take it, but was immediately stopped by the person holding the box.
The man took a step back and said, "My lord, you can't touch this thing with your body, otherwise you will get sick." ”
"How is it possible to get sick?" Xu Ding was stunned.
Buckshot is poisonous, but it is an internal wound that can cause infection.
How can it be poisoned by hand touch.
As long as you don't eat the esophagus, you won't be absorbed by the body, and the absorption is small, there will be nothing unusual.
Even if there is an abnormality, it is only chronic poisoning.
Afraid that Xu Ding would not believe it, Xu Ying asked someone to bring a dog, and then let the dog touch it, and the dog immediately whined a few times, then slowly crawled down, then turned over and convulsed, almost losing its combat effectiveness.
"This ......!" Xu Ding was shocked and didn't say anything for a long time.
If you want to use a phrase from later generations, it is MMP!
It's really evil.
Xu Ying said: "Many of our military doctors have been poisoned and sick because their hands have touched some objects, and they have not recovered yet, but I ordered them to isolate them." ”
This time Xu must not dare to take it lightly.
Xu Ying continued: "After the accident, our people from Tianluo Nets lurked into the mountain in three groups, and only one group came back, and the rest were injured by the enemy's hidden weapon and died in the mountain. ”
Xu Ding said: "What is the situation in the mountain? ”
Xu Ying asked the person who came back to bring him over.
The man said to Xu Ding: "My lord, I don't know how many enemies there are, they are all hiding in the shadows, and killing people a thousand steps away, even if we are extremely careful, we were also hit, and then our comrades were killed, fortunately, we took the sound of the east and the west, and lurked into a cave, and found no enemy in the cave, until we found a bronze giant door, we didn't dare to enter the door under any circumstances, and when I returned, I brought back a strange thing." ”
Xu Ying asked someone to carry over a long wooden box, and then said to Xu Ding: "Just to bring this thing back, the third group of personnel basically died in battle, and he was the only one alive to bring out this thing, I guess this is the enemy's hidden weapon." ”
Xu Ding asked people to open the box, and there was really a gun lying inside.
Or it's called a gun.
Looking at the shape and length are still only the initial products.
Like that thing in the early Ming and Qing dynasties.
Xu Dingdao: "This substance can be toxic!" ”
Xu Ying said: "Don't worry, this thing is non-toxic. ”
Saying that, Xu Ying personally took out this thing.
Xu Ding took it and reached out to touch it.
Emotional but also sad.
That's what it is.
It's this thing that hits a thousand steps away, and it hits in one hit.
This TM is unreal.
I've never heard of a gun so powerful.
Later generations of standard rifles are not so godly.
So Xu Ding's face was full of doubts.
What kind of existence is there through the gate?
Gao Wu, but there are primitive firearms.
It's incomprehensible.
Looks like it's time to get a closer look at it.
This matter can't be delayed, everyone is knocking on the door, and the ghost knows if there will be a more terrifying existence in the future.
Put the gun in, Xu Ding asked people to take pen and paper, and then wrote a few pages, and then instructed Xu Ying: "You go in person, this thing and letter must be personally delivered to Mr. Huang of the Equipment Department, remember that it can only be him, and it must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it would rather destroy the letter and things." ”
"It's the lord, even if Shadow dies, he will complete the task!" Xu Ying replied sonorously, he knew the importance of this thing.
Xu Ding asked him to escort him personally, and he could only send it to Huang Chengyan of the Instrument Department.
No one else can touch it, and you can't touch it.
Who is Huang Chengyan, he is the most authoritative mechanical talent in Donglai, except for his daughter Huang Yueying, there is no one who knows more about machine planning than him.
It can be seen that it is an important letter, and it can be seen that this task is serious and important.
Xu Ying left, with the most capable cadre.
Xu Ding said to the generals: "Withdraw the troops, just defend on the periphery, the people of the heaven and earth network secretly monitor all roads and hills, the enemy is good at long-range attacks, remember to find the enemy close to the killing." ”
After speaking, Xu Ding was about to enter the mountain.
The soldiers of the left cavalry guard said: "What about us, my lord, you can't go alone!" ”
Xu Dingdao: "You just stay outside, don't go, you can't help in this matter, the enemy's attack method is a bit special, you can't use it if you go, on the contrary, you will die in vain." ”
Firebolt, shot from a thousand steps away, mortal bodies are really difficult to deal with.
So he is the only one who can do this, and it is useless for the others to go.
Everyone was a little reluctant, it was obvious that this time the enemy was more special and more dangerous, and the guards were not there, so their left cavalry should take on the duty of protecting Xu Ding.
However, Xu Ding still insisted on not letting everyone follow, and entered the mountain alone.
Of course, before entering the mountain, he specially disguised himself, did not wear gorgeous clothes, but made a camouflage suit, and quietly lurked in.
Because I have been here, I am familiar with the geography of the mountain, and I soon touched the original cave of an endless mountain.
He didn't rush over, but kept using a telescope to scout quietly.
Sure enough, two men in strange costumes hiding on both sides of the cave were quickly dispatched.
Both of them held a torch in their hands and aimed at the intersection of the mountain.
As soon as there is movement, immediately ignite and shoot to kill.
Even so, Xu Ding did not rush to make a move, but continued to wait until it was dark, and found that only these two people were outside the cave, and there was no one else in the mountain, so he quietly touched it.
When the night was dark, a fire was brewing in the cave, and one of them was still on guard outside, and the other was roasting meat and cooking rice inside.
I guess it's just dinner.
Needless to say, Xu Ding's skills are as fast as the wind, and when he moves in the mountains, he only makes a slight rustling sound, like the wind passing by.
The person on duty outside the cave did not notice Xu Ding's movement, but only felt a strong wind blowing behind his head, and as soon as his ears moved, he was hit in the back of the head, and the whole person lost consciousness.
Xu Ding was not polite, and directly slashed his throat with a short knife.
Walking towards the cave, try to be as quiet as possible, but the people in the cave seemed to be more alert than this one, and as if they had noticed something was wrong, they started the fire and pointed towards the outside of the cave.
The mouth came out of a local dialect that was somewhat similar to that of the Jianghuai region.
"Li Laosi, is that you?"
Xu Ding didn't reply and continued to walk forward, and the people in the cave saw that the accomplice didn't reply, so they asked again, and then retreated inside.
Suddenly, he spotted a shadow reflected outside the cave, and a shot was fired in the direction of Xu Ding.
