"Kill Tang Dog. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Death to the barbarians." On the grassland, there are constantly large and small conflicts, such as this time, nine Tang army light cavalry, found more than 20 grassland cavalry.

Nine people, just three squads and one squadron, the number of which was less than half of the number of the steppe cavalry, but under the leadership of the squadron leader, they brazenly attacked. On the other side, more than 20 steppe cavalry, although they faced heavy losses in the face of the Tang army in the overall situation, saw that the opponent's number was far less than their own, and they still fought back bravely.

The two sides approached, although these twenty people did not have any special training, and they were not even from the same tribe, but they were very consciously divided into two waves of men, the first wave picked up all kinds of homemade heavy weapons, and the back used the horn bow, ready to launch a wave of arrows first.

These steppe light riders are well equipped, except for their more complicated attire. The common denominator is that all Datang sells plate armor to the outside world, which is their confidence in fighting against Datang.

Although the caravans did not bring all kinds of heavy weapons, many iron utensils were sold in large quantities, and they painstakingly beat iron pots and other daily necessities into arrowheads or some heavy weapons.

It is ironic that all kinds of things sold to them by Datang have now become sharp weapons against Datang, and there are constantly caravans who ignore the ban and send them all kinds of armor, crude gunpowder, and ironware, although the price has increased more than ten times compared to before, but they are still sold out.

The two sides approached, the striker clenched his weapons, and the rear prepared a horn bow, if they could, they would like to have a rain of arrows all of them, and give Tang Dog to try their riding and archery skills, but the horses on both sides are fast, and there is no time to change weapons after shooting arrows, so they can only be divided into two waves.

The Tang army did not have the slightest concern in this way, they quickly shot first, and the roar was loud, slightly showing a sharp arrow formation of the Tang army, nine people riding and shooting, nine people firing a volley. Nine men launched a cavalry shot on their horses, and they opened fire one after another, hitting the steppe forward, and the men turned on their backs. The people behind were in a hurry, and they shot out with a horned bow, and all of them hit.

All of them hit the poor earth, and it was about to be trampled by horses, and there were people who kept falling off their horses and crushing the earth, and now there were more than a dozen arrows. The bow and arrow of the steppe cavalry missed, and the Tang army would not pay attention to any gentlemanly demeanor, saying that I would fight if you were close. Continued rain of bullets.

Eleven or two of them in front were shot dead, and the fire extended to the rear, and the range and rate of fire of the Tang army's muskets were faster than those of the steppe people's horned bows.

I saw that Tang Jun was holding a horse in one hand and a short-barreled musket in the other, and he didn't fill it with gunpowder and bullets at all, so he kept shooting. At this time, the grassland people couldn't stand it, so they turned around and galloped, constantly urging the horse, and shamefully gave the vest to the Tang Army, just hoping to escape.

In the end, none of them ran away... Because this Tang army did not act alone, the Tang army in other directions heard the gunshots, and also went here to support, just blocked the route of the escapees, before dying, these people also heroically, launched a counter-charge towards the Tang army, a round of arrow rain went, three Tang soldiers were shot, and then the remaining steppe cavalry, all lay down.

"Boss." It turned out that this was not only the squadron leader, but also the captain of the brigade, and when he saw that someone was injured, he first asked the injured brother to bandage it, and then spoke.

The wounded man did not take it seriously, pulled out the arrow, scalded the wound with the hot barrel of the gun, and bandaged it with a slight tooth. However, the captain did not ignore it so lightly, but still took out the wound medicine and carefully applied it to the wound.

The Tang army didn't pay attention to the rough arrows of the herdsmen on the grassland at all, don't look at them dressed like those grassland barbarians, in fact, they have to be more fully armed, they use light cavalry special armor, not those export goods can be compared.

The style is similar to that of the infantry armor, but their armor is slightly thicker, slightly heavier, and very curved, which is very effective against all kinds of weapons. After experiments, whether it is a sword, a gun, a sword, or a light or heavy weapon, it is very defensive. Like those herdsmen who get arrows, even if they use iron for their arrows, they can't do them any harm.

I was just injured, and I just pierced into a place that an armor couldn't defend. Even so, it was not a big deal, because everyone had the luxury of wearing a silk lining, and silk had a good defense against bows and arrows, and even if the arrow pierced, it could be easily pulled out, and the silk would wrap the arrow.

In addition, they have leg armor that protects the thighs and calves. This is unique to the Ma Army, and the infantry armor has now completely eliminated the use of leg armor.

Export goods, there is no comparison at all, not to mention a little thin, the arc is also low, and the most important thing is that the defense of the muskets of the Tang Army is not much better.

After waiting for a while, others came to rendezvous, and after the rendezvous, they began to integrate the information they had discovered, and prepared to hand over to the brothers who came behind them to report the situation, and the brothers in the rear to continue their exploration.

"So, it's the same old thing." , the captain groaned, scattered to investigate the situation, and got the news that those steppe barbarians were constantly retreating. It continues to pollute water sources. The twenty or so horses just now were to throw the carcasses of various animals into the water, polluting the water source, and trying to make the Tang army die of thirst.

"It's really uncreative, it's either a corpse or a poison." A soldier shook his head, looking disdainful, while holding up the corpse in the pond, and then at the water's edge, began to eat.

They didn't take those soaked and swollen corpses and polluted water sources seriously, the slightest ugly corpse was nothing, and they were not afraid of them when they were alive, let alone dead. The water source is too, just heat it and boil it.

In addition, in order to sterilize, a little salt is poured into it, and then hot water is put on the powder in the dry food bag, and it is lunch. This dry food bag is also very rich, and there are some dried green onions or something in it. Even the pickles are ready. Of course, there are a lot of dead horses on this side of the battlefield, and they also cut some horse meat and barbecue it, which can be regarded as adding vegetables.

After eating, some people rested and some people chatted. Some of them said as they made a big blow to the beginning, a short gun with a thin front and fat middle, which was stuffed with ammunition.

This kind of gun, the front is an ordinary barrel, which is no different from an ordinary musket, the key is the middle, compared to the ordinary musket, the middle is particularly fat, and there are major bellies. This is a revolver.

Revolvers have been installed in Datang, but at present, due to limited production capacity and safety issues, only cavalry is useful. This kind of musket appeared relatively late in Datang, because Li Chen had the impression that revolvers were all shells.

Revolvers have many benefits, and were once the standard pistols of the police of various countries. Even if automatic pistols came to the fore later, revolvers were also loved by many people. Save first because of its simple structure and easy maintenance. It is suitable for some non-professionals.

Secondly, the revolver is not afraid of jamming bullets, and will not be blinded by a single bullet, resulting in the entire pistol being unable to shoot. Ninety percent of police officers in the United States like to use revolvers, because automatic pistols have to get stuck in case they can't have time to return their bullets.

The revolver had many advantages, and when it was first invented, it was widely used because of its reliability and power, especially in Westerns, where the revolver was standard.

However, Li Chen didn't expect this all of a sudden, because in his memory, revolvers were all fixed metal cartridge bullets, which Datang couldn't help. He didn't know how to mix thunder mercury, and he didn't have the ability to make nitrated powder, and black powder couldn't make shells like this, so he didn't expect to make a revolver at all.

As a result, this revolver was produced by the Royal Academy. At that time, he was taken aback, he could make a runner, so wasn't Datang able to make a custom metal bullet? As a result, the revolver was a revolver, the same filled with black powder, and there were no metal shell bullets.

Turned to the magazine, filled with gunpowder and bullets in advance, six magazines, which can be fired six times. All you need to do is pull the hammer on the back and you're ready to fire. Very fast. Seeing this, Li Chen almost slapped himself, who stipulates that it must be a metal shell?

It is very inconvenient to get a revolver for a newborn, and this kind of revolver is under the suggestion of Li Chen, and the research institute has worked hard to get the results.

"Don't turn the barrel, set up a magazine, the barrel is fixed." , initially had to be a revolver, and it turned with a barrel, which was very heavy. Think about it, a musket with only four barrels is not a short gun, but a long gun, which weighs several times that of an ordinary musket. It is very inconvenient to use. At Li Chen's suggestion, the famous Colt M1848 cavalry revolver cartridge was born ahead of schedule.

This kind of gun, with a fast rate of fire, is very suitable for cavalry, like just now, it completely showed his terror, more than 20 cavalry cavalry, and was easily defeated by Datang.

Of course, there are drawbacks. It will be designed to turn the barrel, not the magazine, because this gun is not well sealed, and the firing will leak, and in order to ensure the power, the barrel can only be turned initially.

In the original history, more than 100 years before Colter invented the revolver, and more than 10 years before the invention of the revolver, there were already people who invented the revolver. It's just that the reason why it is not popularized is the same as the original one of Datang, which is to turn the barrel, which makes the gun too heavy and unsuitable.

Datang was able to design this revolver because of a little foundation. At least in terms of tolerances and density, there is a certain guarantee.

However, at present, it is technically difficult to maintain a completely airtight seal, so this kind of revolver, even if it is added to the butt, the range cannot be compared with the musket. So even if the rate of fire is faster, the infantry is not willing to use it. It's not just about the yield.

A cavalryman was using a strange pot to fill a revolver with gunpowder. This pot is the size of a palm, made of a metal, with a slender mouth, which was developed to fill the revolver gun with gunpowder. For this kind of revolver, the magazine could not be opened to the side like the revolver in later generations, and it was necessary to use this slender mouth pot to compress the gunpowder inside.

"Well, you say, is there really a big copper mine in this grassland?" While pouring gunpowder, he asked, "Why, you want money and want to be crazy, even if you do, it won't be your turn to find out." "Who knows, maybe I'll be the lucky one." , laughing at his fellow chatter, he retorted unconvinced.

"Come on, if it was so easy to find, it would have been discovered a long time ago." Another person interjected, "It's true that we are concentrating on fighting the war and fishing for military merits, and if we want to discover copper mines, we might as well go to the New World after retiring."

"Yes, this grassland copper mine, those barbarians have lived here for hundreds or thousands of years, and they have not been discovered, Ken is not easy to find, if you want to find a copper mine, it is better to go to the New World, or even retire those dozens of acres of land, if you are willing to go to the New World, or hope that the island can be multiplied tenfold, and you will be a big landlord once you go."

The so-called Hope Island is actually the Philippines, because it is the starting point for Datang to go to the New World, no matter where it goes back and forth, it has to be called Hope Island. Now Li Chen is vigorously developing the local area, if these retired soldiers are willing to reclaim, everyone can get the land after retirement, and then they can get ten times as much there. As for the grassland copper mines....

"None of them came back." When these cavalrymen were eating and bragging, only a few dozen miles away from here, there was a tribe that was not big or small, probably hundreds of people, and a young man reported to the leader that he had gone to the south to poison the people, but he did not come back, and they should have come back a long time ago.

"Don't send any more people, gather everyone, we're on our way, the Tang Army is not far from here." Hearing this bad news, the leader was very calm, and only told the comer to hurry up and gather the tribe and migrate away immediately.

"Those hateful dogs..." "Don't talk about this, the Han people say that the king will be defeated and defeated, it is very reasonable, our force is not as good as others, and we have to resist to the end, in addition to filling it with human lives, what else can we do?" , the head man shouted, "Go and spread the word, let the Tang army catch up, everyone don't want to live."

"They're all good boys." , When the man left indignantly, the old man sighed in a low voice, his mood at this moment was not as calm as it appeared at all, even if he had rich experience and had been in the world for a long time, he could not deal with it indifferently, the casualties were too heavy.

"Why is this the problem?" , he didn't understand, what the Tang Dynasty was thinking. This time, the Tang army moved very strangely, the reason for sending troops was strange, and even the actions were very strange. However, no matter how strange he is, he understands one thing, this time Tang Jun really moved. If they don't bow their heads and bow their heads to Datang, they can only run, and the farther they run, the better.

As for whether it has any effect, he doesn't know. This time, the wisdom passed down by their ancestors and belonging to the grassland people may not be effective.

"We'll be back." , The old man comforted himself like this, they and the Tang people are completely different life styles, even if the Tang Dynasty conquers the grassland, it will not be able to stay permanently, as long as this period of time is delayed, the Tang army itself will retreat, the Tang people will eventually retreat, the grassland, will always be their herdsmen.
