Chapter 323: Pomegranate Thunder and Watermelon Thunder
Ma Garrison wants to underwrite the horse's tail in the future, and a dragon can't be the master.
The thousand horsetails of the coalition army are trophies, and the coalition forces can call the shots. The other horses on the steppe have owners, and it is really difficult for the coalition forces to sell the tail to whom the owner of the horse wants to sell.
A dragon said in embarrassment: "Lord Garrison, let's not hide it, we killed many war horses in Manchukuo in Shimenshui, and now these thousand tails are cut off from the dead horses of Manchukuo. As for ...... future"
"What?" , Ma Shoubei opened his mouth and drooped the noodles, looking at a dragon in surprise. "You actually killed a thousand horses of Todako?"
A dragon nodded: "Yes." These thousand are the tails of strong horses, with good coat color and long coat color, which is definitely the best color. As for the future, general, you also know that a horse has a tail, and no one will kill a horse for the sake of a horse's tail. ”
Ma Shoubei turned around and yelled at the shopkeeper: "Li Xiang, drink!" ”
The custom of Datong, the shopkeeper is called "Xianggong", and the surname is "Li Xiang", "Wang Xiang", and "Zhang Xiang". In later generations, the word "buddy" in the Ming Dynasty specifically referred to partners or shareholders, which was a higher rank than the treasurer.
"Brother Long, tell me how you managed to kill so many Dongda horses?"
"It's easy to say," a dragon pulled out a black whirring object from his bosom, "It's called a pomegranate thunder, and it's shaped like a pomegranate, and untrained horses are most afraid of it." ”
Ma Shoubei took the pomegranate thunder, this thing is made of cast iron, the size of a palm, one hand is just holding it, there are patterns on the outside, and there is a bulge at the top end, which really looks like a pomegranate.
A black rope leads out of the pomegranate thunder protrusion, and a reed pipe bulges out of the center of the rope, and then a thin rope is connected. The end of the rope is held in the hands of a dragon.
Ma Shoubei asked suspiciously: "What's so powerful about this thing?" ”
A dragon replied: "This thing is full of explosives, and when it explodes, the sound is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and all the people around it are turned into minced meat." ”
"Dynamite? What is Explosives? ”
"It's a medicine that's ten times more than gunpowder. A little girl named Pomegranate accidentally found that it was used as an explosive by electrolysis salt. ”
"Electricity? You mean the electricity in the sky? ”
"Yes. But not in the sky, the head of my family can store electricity in a pool, called a battery. ”
Ma Shoubei gasped, and he didn't dare to underestimate a dragon anymore.
"Brother Long, how do you use this pomegranate thunder?"
"As soon as I pull the string, the reed pipe will ignite and ignite the fuse, and the fuse will burn the explosives in the pomegranate mine, and the pomegranate mine will explode!"
Killing Hukou is equipped with a lot of iron cannons and iron guns, and the power of gunpowder is known to the hemp garrison.
The pomegranate thunder in his hand was loaded with explosives ten times more than gunpowder, and Ma Shoubei sweated down: "Brother Long, are you laughing." ”
A dragon tied the string around his fingers, and stared at Ma Shi: "General, with this thunder, the leader of my family not only killed a thousand Manchurian soldiers, but also repelled the Manchurian army on the right and captured four Hongyi cannons. ”
Ma Shoubei was anxious: "Fang Ritu, who are you introducing to me?" ”
Fang Ritu lowered his head to eat noodles and did not look up at all: "This dragon master, everyone who runs on the Yellow River has to give some face." ”
Ma Shoubei hurriedly changed his words: "Master Long, everyone is your own person, you should quickly withdraw the rope in your hand." ”
Yilong smiled: "The general relaxes, I'm afraid that the adults will be curious when they see this thing for the first time, and if I accidentally pull the fire pipe, everyone will be dead, not to mention, and I have to trouble the store to clean it." ”
A dragon withdrew the grenade from Ma Shi's hand, and his mouth still didn't stop:
"This pomegranate thunder, no matter how high your mansion is, throw one through the wall in the middle of the night, and the family inside will be finished."
Ma Shoubei's heart was beating when he boarded, this dragon master is simply a bandit!
"Master Long, you have something to say, what do you want?"
A dragon kicked the grenade back into his arms.
This time back to Jiuyuan, a dragon brought back a boatload of new equipment. There is not only a pound of iron mines, but also a five-pound mine that can only be used as a mine, a cicada crossbow for firing, a zinc-air battery for electric detonation, in addition to binoculars, helmets and armor plates made of composite materials, electric candles, and even leggings of linen.
A dragon said to Ma Garrison easily: "Don't panic, Lord Garrison. We have already negotiated the killing of the Yi people in Hu Fort, and I am just planning to exchange the iron thunder for the Yi people who have fled to the other military forts of the right guard. ”
Ma Shoubei breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be relaxed: "Master Long, this is your fault." If you have something to say, why are you so scary! ”
A dragon secretly said in his heart: "Don't scare and scare you, can you be honest?" ", but the mouth was not accompanied by Ma Shi.
Ma Shi has been guarding for a long time, and understands that this is an excuse for the other party to show his strength. Since the other party's tone has softened, there is no need for him to entangle, so he said directly:
"Our Ma family bought a horse's tail, and after all the hard work to exchange it for silver, in the end, it was not cast into an iron cannon for the Long Live Lord to install on the side wall? Long Ye has such a sharp weapon, why should the Ma family go around in a big circle. Master Long, make a price! ”
A dragon poured a full bottle of wine for the hemp guard, "Don't worry, please ask the general to come out of the fort and find a place where there is no one, so that we can demonstrate one or two for the general." ”
It is said that a few people finished eating noodles with wine, and left to kill Fort Hu under the leadership of Ma Garrison.
When he came to a clearing, a dragon whistled, and several robed brothers flashed out of the forest.
Ma Shoubei blurted out and asked, "Master Long, how many of you came?" ”
"Not much, that's all, all of them enter the customs along the rabbit hair river."
Brother Pao, a subordinate of Yilong, took out a five-pound iron thunder, buried it in the ground in front of the hemp guard, connected the battery, and pulled out a long wire.
"General", a dragon handed over the detonation button, "This is called watermelon thunder, please press this big red button." ”
Watermelons were introduced to northern China on a large scale no later than the 10th century.
The author of "The History of the New Five Dynasties" recorded that during the Khitan period: "Then he entered Pingchuan, had many plants and trees, and began to eat watermelons. Yun Khitan broke back to this kind of plant, and planted it with cow dung covered shed, as big as Chinese winter melon and sweet. ”
Ma Shixin said that this big pomegranate thunder really looks like a watermelon, and his fingers inadvertently pressed lightly,
"Boom" with a loud bang,
The floating soil exploded three feet high,
A flock of wild birds arose in the woods,
The horse of the Ma garrison hissed, turned around and ran, and was dragged by the two members of the Ma garrison.
Ma Shoubei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Although the horse guarded by Ma is not a BMW in a million, it is also an out-and-out war horse. On weekdays, this horse is not afraid of gongs and drums at all, and it can't withstand the fright of a watermelon thunder.
Where does Ma Shoubei know that the human ear can automatically attenuate excessive sounds, and the volume of the watermelon thunder explosion is many times louder than the sound heard by humans for horses with sensitive hearing, and in later generations, the main content of repeated training of war horses is to adapt to the explosion.
Ma Shoubei asked again and again: "Is this watermelon thunder afraid of water?" Master Long, is this watermelon thunder afraid of water? ”
A dragon replied: "The iron thunder is sealed with wax, and it is estimated that it will be fine if the time is short." ”
Ma Shoubei laughed loudly.
"Master Long, you've done a great favor in killing Fort Hu!"
"The most difficult place to defend Fort Hu is along the Rabbit Mao River, with this watermelon mine, I'm still worried about what birds Manchurian soldiers!"
Yilong took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Is the general interested, everyone will partner up to do a small business, and after the matter is completed, two will add five?" ”
