In the case of a large army, the Ming army relied on this simple firearm to hold Kyoto and defeat the enemy, but after several experiments, Rand found that the power of the firearm was not as strong as recorded in the history books, on the contrary, the lead bullets or scattered bullets fired by the firecracker were inferior to the hard bow in terms of armor-piercing ability and attack range.

But in terms of the range of strikes, as well as the deterrent power of the enemy, the firearm is much larger than the bow and arrow.

Rand calculated that the strike range of the firebolt might be about twenty meters, and the lethality of this round bullet was not enough to be lethal, but the strong fire and resounding roar could give the enemy a psychological deterrent, which could greatly weaken their indomitable charging momentum.

Rand's plan is like this, he is ready to equip thirty people to operate the ballista, the rest of the soldiers use spears and other weapons, twenty people are equipped with firearms, if the rate of fire of the ballista is not enough to completely resist the beast tide and barbarians, outside the city gate, there will be a battle formation composed of spears, when approaching the city gate, twenty firearms are divided into two columns and fired in turn, in order to deter the beasts, no need to kill them directly, as long as the projectile is shot into their skin or body, it will cause infection or blood loss, for those beasts who have lost their minds, the deterrent power of the firearms should make them sober up。

If you can fight from a distance, the ghost is willing to carry a spear and a big knife to fight you hand-to-hand, which is safe and labor-saving.

......

The Arctic mountains, the bitter cold winds that have taken over all the forests, the dry and withered leaves, the frozen streams, and the dwindling food are all a sign of the truth.

Winter has arrived.

The miasma of the dark jungle in the deepest part of the mountain range is extremely severe, and the accumulated fallen leaves and the corpses of animals or humans are rotting here, volatile stench and poisonous miasma, and this place is like a dead field, and in the darkness that cannot be seen by the naked eye, there is an immeasurable danger.

No one can escape from the Dark Forest, not even the beasts that have broken into it in search of food, and the Dark Forest is like a demon's maw, ready to devour any living thing.

This is a forbidden land, and the beasts in the mountains no longer dare to approach it, and gradually come to a consensus that even mosquitoes cannot survive in the dark and dense forest.

A foot in leather boots suddenly stepped on the thick fallen leaves, and in the dark jungle known as the "Forbidden Land of Death", a figure dressed in black suddenly appeared without warning, and the miasma around him that was enough to suffocate ordinary people seemed to have no effect on him at all.

He walked with a relaxed foot, like a traveler returning home.

In fact, it was, the Dark Jungle was his home.

"Snow, you didn't bring that kid back. ”

The man in black took off the hat from his cloak, revealing an old face, which was made in the Empty Collar and stunned the Dark Council member of the Orc, Snow!

"Yes," Snow nodded, looking at the figure that came out of the dense forest, bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency, I am willing to accept punishment." ”

"Why?" the man known as the Councillor showed a face, a man, very young, no more than thirty years old, but with a sense of poise and confidence throughout his body, as well as the majesty of a long time in a high position.

Snow remembered the conversation Oak had with him in the dark room, and a smile appeared on his face: "That kid has been very good in Kongdu, he is very satisfied with his current situation, I have investigated, the lord there is the second son of the Capet family, and he is not as repulsive as the lords of other regions, I think ......"

"Lord Snow, I've seen too many lies from humans, they are treacherous, and if that child loses his effect on him, he will be abandoned or slaughtered immediately!" the councillor gently stroked a conspicuous scar on his forehead, "Isn't this kind of thing that we have experienced less?"

Snow struggled to straighten up, he was well aware of what had happened to the Councillor, and could understand why he didn't trust humans, the Councillor had been deceived into working for a human nobleman, but when the nobleman's purpose was achieved, he immediately ordered the soldiers to arrest the Councillor, and announced to his people that he had captured the Demon Seed, and was ready to be executed publicly.

"Even if you want to kill me, you don't forget to declare the world, and by the way, increase your prestige!" the councilor's tone was full of self-deprecation, and although his expression remained unchanged, Snow knew that the anger in his heart had never been extinguished.

"The lord of the Empty Ferry Lord, Rant Capet, is a good lord, although he has done a lot of ridiculous things before, but after my observation, he is a benevolent man, he does not oppress the commoners and exploit the weak like other nobles. Snow truthfully reported the results of his recent investigation today to the lawmakers.

"In this world, people with a benevolent heart generally don't live long," the councilor's tone lowered and sneered twice, "Have you ever heard a word?"

"If the strong can't squeeze the benefits out of the weak, they will eventually starve to death. ”

Snow was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "He just doesn't squeeze benefits from his people, and he won't be soft at all when he collects money from other families." ”

"......" Councillor waved his hand, apparently not wanting to argue with Snow about Rand as a person, but continued, "That kid, he won't join us anyway, will he?"

"Yes, he doesn't want to give up his current life and everything. Snow took two steps forward, tied with the MP.

"I was thinking, the people in the Right Court also got the news, they will definitely take the initiative to find the child, what if he joins the Right Court, what should we do?" the Councillor turned to look at Snow and expressed his concern.

The strength of the Right Court is obvious to all in the Council, those crazy criminals do things recklessly, and a large number of new people join them every year, there are a total of forty-two members of the Dark Council in the Arctic Mountains, and thirty-three of them are members of the Right Court, a single branch can see the difference in strength, not to mention in the Holy Land of the Dark Council, the power of the Right Court can almost cover the sky with one hand, even the president of the Council is from the Right Court, and the Left Court, which originally had a huge quality, is now very seriously suppressed.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Dark Council, the first president divided the internal forces into two factions, one side was the scholar who was responsible for the overall planning and leadership and command, known as the Left Court, and was in a leading position, while the other side was the warrior who was responsible for expanding the territory and charging into battle, known as the Right Court, and was in the leading position, but as time passed, the ruling power of the Left Court gradually declined, and the personnel became more and more scarce; on the contrary, the power of the Right Court was able to develop rapidly, and in just ten years, the status of the two sides was completely reversed.

"No, I assure you, even if the child dies, he won't join them. ”

"His parents died at the hands of the right court, and even the corpse may be used as a corpse slave, and they are still being driven by the people of the right court!"
