Chapter 109: Hostage Exchange
At the beginning of July this year, the sky has been gray, and it has been raining lightly for more than a week. Fortunately, it is not a natural disaster such as a storm, otherwise, our fleet of iceberg big cat royal sister will suffer a big loss.
With the care of Wang Tianxie and Bamboo Lori, when she arrived in Ise Bay, there was naturally a group of high-level commissioners who rushed over to ask for warmth, and at the same time, they quickly reported to the Yamauchi Pavilion.
The next day, our iceberg big cat sister Li Huamei came to the Yamauchi Pavilion with the violent overage pseudo-Lori Nobuko and Princess Medusa.
It was still raining lightly, but everyone was enjoying the new invention of a book of genesis.
The four princesses of our ghost clan, Butterfly Butterfly, the Phantom Demon Butterfly, Miko Sasaki and Princess Medusa Nonghime, this ghost, a demon, and a person, work together to transform the new iron cannon.
The advantages of the new iron cannon amazed our iceberg big cat sister.
Because, our inventors, the original arquebus of the iron cannon was lengthened and filled with oil, so that the arquebus could still be lit even on a rainy day.
At the same time, this man, a ghost, and a demon even invented the gunpowder in a small bamboo tube. The small bamboo tube is divided into four sections according to the ratio of three to one.
The first section is a lead pellet that serves as a bullet, the middle two sections are filled with gunpowder, and the last section is filled with oil.
In the last section, there is a small lead that ignites the lead when the rope is burned out, causing the oil in the small bamboo tube to burn, igniting the gunpowder and generating kinetic energy, causing the lead pellet as a bullet to fly out.
In this way, it not only perfectly and effectively solves the disadvantage that the iron cannon cannot be used in the rain, but also reduces the speed of filling ammunition.
What's even more commendable is that the bullets are processed in batches. Therefore, the proportion of gunpowder was very tightly controlled, so that the chance of exploding the chamber of the iron cannon when firing bullets was greatly reduced.
In addition, the muzzle of each iron cannon was equipped with a small vertical iron block, and then in front of the wooden handle, an iron piece with a gap in the middle was added.
In this way, when shooting, as long as the small iron block erected and the gap are connected to form a horizontal line, a crosshair can be perfectly formed, which greatly improves the accuracy of iron cannon shooting.
Although the firing range of the new iron cannon has not increased, with these three supporting inventions, the power brought by it is greatly abandoned from the old iron cannon.
I have to say that our four princesses of the ghost clan, Butterfly Butterfly, Lori Sasaki Yako and Medusa Princess Nohime are indeed qualified inventors and competent long-range attack enthusiasts!
When Wang Tianxie showed off the new iron cannon invented by everyone to our iceberg big cat sister, the eyes of the iceberg big cat sister revealed a wave of disbelief and impossibility......
You must know that even the Western countries, the birthplace of iron cannons, have not solved the difficulty of not being able to use iron cannons on rainy days.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Tianxie was once again trampled hard by our iceberg big cat sister Li Huamei because of teasing the cat, and the name was "Oh, why is there a cockroach here?" I'm stepping on it! ”
When our iceberg big cat sister was with Wang Tianxi, the violent overage pseudo-Lori Nobuko, Princess Medusa, and Wang Tianling and Takenita Nachita, while tasting the nectar wine brewed by Wang Tianxie and eating the Brunei court-style snacks, we sat behind the 900 "Owari Orphan Army" and watched them brave the light rain and hit the target 200 meters away.
For the first time, our iceberg big cat sister showed a shocked look on her face.
Of course, like our violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko, the iceberg big cat sister with a violent energy in her bones can see at a glance how powerful this new iron cannon will be on her own fleet.
Therefore, after a lot of bargaining again, and after a lot of Wang Tianxie's cuteness, the two reached a new strategic surname cooperation project.
Wang Tianxie was responsible for helping our Iceberg Big Cat Imperial Sister improve the firearms of the Li family's fleet, while the Iceberg Big Cat Imperial Sister was responsible for finding a way to purchase four-pound, six-pound, twelve-pound, twenty-four-pound, and forty-eight-pound artillery for Wang Tianxie.
When the two clinked glasses to celebrate the cooperation, our iceberg big cat sister once again issued "Hmph, the cooperation is very pleasant, but the process is by no means pleasant." ".
The iceberg big cat sister said goodbye to everyone again and went to sea with the Li family's fleet. The voyage will take us to Portugal via Brunei.
Soon, in the middle of October, autumn is already halfway over, and the maple leaves all over the mountains make the mountain scenery near the Yamanuchi Museum very beautiful.
It's just that at this moment, the violent overage pseudo-Lori Xinzi, who is sitting opposite Wang Tianxie, is in a mood that is by no means beautiful.
The reason why our violent overage pseudo-Lori is in a bad mood comes from a letter sent by an envoy of the Imagawa family.
"Ansho Castle has been surrounded by our army, if you want to save Oda Nobuhiro's life, you can exchange the hostage Matsudaira Takechiyo for it."
There is only one sentence in the letter, which is very concise, but the content is very shocking.
It turned out that as early as the beginning of March, after the assassination of the father of Matsudaira Hirota, the lord of Okazaki Castle in Mikawa Province and a famous general of the generation, that is, Matsudaira Koshota's father, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the lord of Enoe Province and Suruga Province, entered Okazaki Castle.
Subsequently, he sent Taiyuan Yuisai to Okazaki Castle to prepare for the recapture of Matsudaira Koshota.
Taiyuan Yukisai is the chief patriarch of the Imagawa family and the chief military advisor of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Although he is a monk, he is a monk of wine and meat. He is not only a wine and meat monk, but also a wine and meat monk who is both wise and brave.
Under the planning of Taiyuan Xuesai, the combined forces of the Imagawa family and the Matsudaira family surrounded the castle of Anxiang in Nishimikawa in early October.
In one fell swoop, the general stationed in Anxiang City, the cousin of the violent overage pseudo-Lori, Oda Nobuhiro, had to take the cage battle and defend hard.
After besieging Anxiang Castle, Taiyuan Xuesai immediately ordered his envoys to go to Kono Castle in Owari Province and brought the letter just mentioned.
In the heart of the violent overage pseudo-Lori, she really treats Matsudaira Takechiyo as a younger brother.
Therefore, after receiving this letter, she was a little overwhelmed with shock, her mind was blank, and she hurriedly ran to the Yamauchi Pavilion and asked Wang Tianxie for advice.
Wang Tianxie had been prepared for this for a long time, and all the means had already been secretly implemented. In Matsudaira Koshota's heart, I don't know how many seeds have already been planted by Wang Tianxie.
In the end, under the continuous persuasion of Wang Tianxie, our violent overage pseudo-Lori agreed to compromise.
After all, the current Oda family is far from having the strength to fight in battle.
If the violent overage pseudo-Lori really goes out and goes to Anxiang City, then Furuno City will definitely be attacked from behind by Shibata Katsuya and others who support her younger brother Oda Nobuyuki.
In this way, our violent overage pseudo-Lori will have almost no place to live, and will be hunted down by all forces.
The hostage exchange took place outside Anxiang City.
Our violent overage pseudo-Lori needs to sit in Nakono City, so Wang Tianxie personally took the knife and took Matsudaira Komasita to the exchange place.
Because he didn't know whether the Imagawa family would be in trouble temporarily, Wang Tianxie did not take anyone else, so he was alone, and Matsudaira Komasata, Hiraiwa Nanosuke, and Abe Tokuchiyo each rode a horse, a group of four, and galloped towards Anxiang City.
However, don't underestimate Wang Tianxie who is alone.
For this one-man appearance, Wang Tianling's big Lori was early, and she worked together with our three princesses of the ghost clan to conjure up a complete version of the "Demon Knife. Oni Flash Pill", with an antique short iron cannon pinned to his waist.
This short musket is a transfiguration skill that our Princess Medusa has only recently learned.
Like Wang Tianling's big lori, Princess Medusa, who has been inherited by the four princesses of our ghost clan, Butterfly, can also conjure weapons.
It's just that our princess Medusa is not conjured up with a big sword, but a short iron cannon conjured up according to her and Dieji's common interests.
The shape of the short iron cannon is very exquisite, with two pairs of butterfly-shaped wings at the muzzle, which are held in the hand as if there is no trace of weight.
However, its recoil is so great that if you don't train, you will definitely dislocate your arms and shoulders.
This short iron cannon is different from the iron cannon used by everyone today, which uses lead pellets as bullets. This short iron cannon uses a unique ghost energy shock wave of our ghost clan's heavenly ghost lineage.
By continuously compressing its own ghostly energy, it becomes a small round ball shaped like a lead pellet, and then uses the short iron cannon as a medium to fire at the target.
Some people will ask, why not just shoot ghost energy?
This is because all outward moves, whether they use demonic power or ghost energy, or even the spiritual power of those great onmyoji or high monks of human beings, must have a process of animal power.
However, the short iron cannon conjured up by Princess Medusa and Butterfly Queen did not require any animal power, and it could be fired directly, and the speed of continuous fire was greatly increased.
That being said, that doesn't mean that this cannon-gun can't be used for animal power. Since it is the principle of the ghost clan, the short iron cannon can also be used as animal. On the body of the short iron cannon, there are five magatama.
As the time of the animal power increases, bursts of green light will emit from the magatama in turn, and the power will become more and more powerful. With enough time and ghostly energy, it is no less powerful than a giant ninety-six-pound cannon.
Of course, this recoil is not acceptable to ordinary people.
This is also the place where more than 500 years ago, the ghost clan's heavenly ghost lineage caused the most headache for the onmyoji and monks.
Because of our Medusa princess, there is not only the existence of Butterfly in the spirit world, but also the little Lori Sasaki Yako of the Phantom Demon Butterfly Clan, and the Milky Way galaxy she conjured up with her demonic power.
Therefore, the short iron cannon conjured up by Princess Medusa and Diehime is more powerful, farther, and faster than the one that Diehime conjured up for her father Tenkiro and her younger brother Jinkuro!
Moreover, with the unique doppelganger ability of the Phantom Demon Butterfly Clan, the higher the fit between Princess Medusa and Butterfly, it can exert a power and effect similar to that of Wang Tianxie's shotgun in his previous life.
However, with the current compatibility of Princess Medusa and Dieki, it is far from being able to do such a difficult technique for the time being.
