"The guns of the Holy Alliance are indeed good, but we have better guns here, I don't know if the old man has a look." Zhang Ruoming said with a smile, Zhao Zhujian's words are obviously something in his words, saying that this gun is good, and he is naturally saying that the strength of the Holy Alliance is strong, and Black Iron City came to visit at this time in the dark, and it was to bypass the sentry post of the Holy Alliance, which was obviously a hostile existence to the Holy Alliance, and the old man's words were undoubtedly asking Zhang Ruoming whether he had the ability to confront the Holy Alliance.

Zhang Ruoming naturally understood the meaning behind Zhao Zhujian, so he asked another Skywalker to take out a gun and handed it to Zhao Zhujian, this is a very beautiful musket, very new, it looks like it has just been made, and it is obviously different from the gun designed by the Holy Alliance, there is a fire hydrant at the rear, and there is a scope at the front end of the musket, and there is also a bayonet, compared with the ordinary musket, the length is longer, reaching 1.3 meters, about 20 centimeters longer than the musket of the Holy Alliance.

Zhao Zhujian is obviously a person who understands guns, the first time he saw this gun, there was a trace of light in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Ruoming, and said with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Is there a bullet?" Zhang Ruoming said with a smile: "Of course there is, but this bullet is different from ordinary bullets, I think I need to explain." ”

Saying that, Zhang Ruoming took out a new bullet from his pocket, compared to the original projectile, this bullet is conical, but it is different from the modern projectile and ammunition in a unified structure, after all, the kind of bullet that can be fired only by stuffing the bullet into the magazine, with the ability of the Black Iron City today, it is still impossible to produce normally, and at the same time, the consumption of brass and precious metals is too large, and the Black Iron City does not have so much steel now, so this matter cannot be done for the time being, but compared to the original bullet, The firing speed and shooting accuracy of the projectile are very poor, because it is circular, so in the force area, it is naturally much larger than the conical one, and the conical bullet can run well in the barrel, and the rifling can also be simpler, not as difficult as the projectile.

In fact, the people of Black Iron City also thought about replacing projectile bullets with conical bullets, but because of the limited manufacturing skills, the manufacturing price of a conical bullet is often about three or four times more expensive than the projectile, which is no longer affordable for ordinary people, and after the new technical transformation, it can be manufactured with a new mold, and the price is already the same as the price of the projectile, so Peng Sanhe decided that all bullets are fired in a conical shape, and this design method is at the same time, It is also guaranteed that the manufacture of the barrel will be simpler.

Because the force area of the projectile is relatively more, but also more complex, in the face of such a complex plane, it is necessary to plan more rifling to assist the bullet to carry out the correct trajectory, on average there will be seven or eight rifling in a gun, which is very troublesome, and now the use of this conical bullet, can be reduced to about three, the average reduction is about double, which is beneficial to the accelerated production of the barrel, so the conical bullet has completely replaced the projectile, and has become the main battle bullet of the Black Iron City.

Now the gun in Zhang Ruoming's hand is also made by Black Iron City, in order to make the people of Yangcheng believe that his side has the ability to fight against the Holy Alliance in this exploration, Zhang Ruoming deliberately asked Peng Sanhe to work overtime to take the lead in making three guns, so that he could stay on his body, and at this time he took out one of them, and the old man listened to Zhao Zhujian's explanation.

Immediately picked up the gun, after loading the bullet, there was a shot, the willow tree a hundred meters away squirted, obviously it was hit, and several other people were amazed, under the dark night wind, it was able to hit a target a hundred meters away, this is not only Zhao Zhujian's own ability, but also the power of this gun, which has indeed surpassed the guns of the Holy Alliance.

This is inevitable, after all, these three guns were built by Zhang Ruoming and Peng Sanhe to mobilize all his strength, compared to other guns, they are more meticulous and the quality is quite good, and it is still very difficult for other guns to reach this level.

After all, there are no CNC machine tools in this era, every part needs to be produced manually, even if it is a skilled worker, there is no difference between the size of the parts with the naked eye, but in fact there are still differences, these differences are about the millimeter level, the naked eye can not be seen, but dozens of parts rely on each other, this little bit of the gap, and finally it will become a huge gap.

This is like a ship in the great voyage, deviating from a degree, but as long as it sails about 30,000 or 40,000 kilometers, this little deviation will eventually become a huge gap, the difference is thousands of miles, the words of the ancestors are undoubtedly reasonable, so under manual conditions, the quality of the parts determines the quality of a weapon, and now the gun in Zhao Zhujian's hand, but Peng Sanhe gathered all the masters to make the firearms, which can be regarded as a work of art, and every part is produced in accordance with the most standard proceduresIt took dozens of masters five days to make it, it can be said that it is a really good gun, and it can achieve such an effect, if it is replaced with other guns, the effect may be a little better than that of the Holy Alliance, but it is not so good.

"Good gun." Zhao Zhujian said sincerely, looking at Zhang Ruoming and the others, his eyes also changed, with such a gun as the bottom, Zhao Zhujian also had an idea in his heart, after everyone entered the house, Zhao Zhujian was not polite, told Zhang Ruoming what he knew, and said that the lonely village was willing to support them.

Through Zhao Zhujian, Zhang Ruoming and others also learned about the situation in Yangcheng, it turned out that since they learned that the Holy Alliance was going to attack Yangcheng, Yangcheng did not plan to fight with the Holy Alliance in the wild, but directly retreated in the city, and took away all the young and middle-aged people in each village, there was enough food to eat for a year in the city, and there would be no problem in the short term.

At the same time, there are more than thirty Skywalkers in Yangcheng, and how many are left now, Zhao Zhujian doesn't know, after all, the Holy Alliance is very close, although they can move outside, but more important places are heavily guarded, even if they are, it is difficult to get close.

The number of people in the city is about 60,000 people, and it can still be supported, as for the Holy Alliance, the nearest stronghold from here is a city called Qingzhou, which is said to be named after the ancient city, and it is a city-state that has returned to the Holy Alliance in recent years, and this time the grain and grass that is mainly responsible for the crusade against Yangcheng is provided by this city called Qingzhou. balance

These news are undoubtedly extremely important to Zhang Ruoming and others who don't know anything, everyone has written down these news, and at the same time asked if there is any other way to enter Yangcheng from the periphery, Zhao Zhujian obviously does not know, and Zhao Liangsan is the same, which makes Zhang Ruoming and others very disappointed, they originally wanted to enter Yangcheng to listen to further news, but obviously, they can't know.

After getting useful information, Zhang Ruoming also said that there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and these three guns are gifts to the lonely village, along with the thirty guns of the Holy Alliance, and Zhao Zhujian also unceremoniously accepted these guns, both sides are obviously very sincere, for the lonely village, the crisis is imminent, and they and Yangcheng are also in a cold relationship, if Yangcheng falls, relying on the lonely village alone, there is no power to resist the behemoth of the Holy Alliance.

It's just that Zhao Zhujian looked at Zhang Ruoming and the others who were about to leave, and couldn't help but have a new decision in his heart, he looked at Zhang Ruoming and said: "Come and don't be rude, Zhao Ersan, go and take out Tian Qi in our village, half of it, and let Zhang Ruoming and them take it back." ”

"What!" Two surprised voices came from the mouths of two people, one was naturally Zhao Liangsan, he looked at the elder with a look of disbelief, his mind was already empty, and the other person was Liu Yangkai in Zhang Ruoming's team, he rushed directly to the front, looked at Zhao Zhujian and said, "You have Tian Qi?" Is this true or not! ”

"You also know Tian Qi?" Zhao Zhujian looked at Liu Yangkai with a smile and asked, Liu Yangkai said without hesitation: "This is natural, who in the medical community does not know Tian Qi, this is a kind of medicine that can stop bleeding and eliminate stasis, and also has the effect of invigorating blood and fixing pain, it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, a necessary medicinal material of Yunnan Baiyao, which has a strong recovery ability for external injuries, this medicinal material is very precious, and there are almost not many around our Black Iron City." “

"The latter sentence he said to Zhang Ruoming and the others, obviously he didn't want Zhao Zhujian and the others to hear it, but his eyes were already full of excitement, the medicine for treating external injuries is undoubtedly comparable to gold for Heitiecheng, for this troubled world, with their existence, it is enough to give most soldiers one more life."

Zhang Ruoming looked at Liu Yangkai's excited face, obviously realizing that this was indeed a good thing, so he said: "This thing is very precious, the old man can keep it for himself, or we can pay for it, it's not impossible, don't say give it away." Zhao Zhujian waved his hand and said: "Hey, you sent us so many arms, so that our lonely village has the power to protect itself, we didn't give a penny, now give you our medicinal materials, naturally we don't need money, we are friends, we don't need to talk so much, Zhao Liangsan, go and get it!" “

Seeing Zhao Zhujian say that, Zhao Liangsan didn't dare to refute anything, so he could only nod and take it, the others obviously didn't understand what Zhao Zhujian was going to do, but Zhao Zhujian knew very well what he was going to do, Yangcheng was finished, no matter whether this battle went smoothly or not, after this war, Yangcheng still existed, and Yangcheng, which was sandwiched between the Holy Alliance and the Black Iron City, was bound to weaken its strength, and if the lonely village continued to follow Yangcheng, then it could only become a vassal of the Holy Alliance or a vassal of the Black Iron City.

Zhao Zhujian obviously doesn't want to live in his hometown all his life and be pressed on top of it by other people, in this case, now that he has such an opportunity, why not directly pull the more powerful force of Black Iron City? When Zhang Ruoming and the others left the ancestral hall, the other old people asked him, why is it Black Iron City? The Holy Alliance is even more powerful, why not them.

Zhao Zhujian laughed and said: "The Holy Alliance is strong, there are thousands of good generals under its command, tens of thousands of soldiers, we have such a few people to take refuge, how can the other party look at it, and they will not get the opportunity to treat each other differently, I am afraid that it will be reduced to a new conquered land, if there is no other choice, then it can only surrender to him, but now, the strength shown by the Black Iron City is no less than that of the Holy Alliance, especially in the field of firearms, it is even better, so why not cooperate with them."

As you saw just now, these people in Black Iron City are polite, at least they are willing to negotiate with us, and look at those people in the Holy Alliance, they are arrogant and even now, they haven't even launched an attack on us, they don't take us seriously at all, in addition, the strength of Black Iron City is not too strong, otherwise they can send troops directly, and they don't need to negotiate with us at all.

This means that the other side has a request for us, and as long as there is a request, then we can exchange interests, and as long as the Black Iron City wins, we will be able to get more benefits, right? It's totally worth the gamble. Zhao Zhujian's analysis made everyone agree with him, compared to the Holy Alliance, Black Iron City is indeed a more reliable ally, at least he is not arrogant, and at the same time, he also has to ask for a lonely village, which is enough.

On the other side, after Zhang Ruoming and everyone left, he was taken to the village warehouse by Zhao Liangsan, took the seal signed by Zhao Zhujian, and took out three baskets of Tian Qi, these Tian Qi looks like taro that has not grown up, but these Tian Qi are hard, and smell very fragrant, very good, Liu Yangkai picked up a few and looked at them, you can be sure that these are indeed Tian Qi, I was excited in my heart, three baskets, and I can completely save the lives of thousands of wounded people in the future.

Under the gift of Zhao Ersan, everyone left the lonely village through another road without danger, Liu Yangkai said very excitedly: "I really didn't expect that such a small village would have such good things, in the future, as long as we purchase these Tianqi with them, it will be enough for our soldiers to have one more guarantee." “

Zhang Ruoming and the others were also very happy, although they did not enter Yangcheng this time, but at least they learned about the situation in Yangcheng, and Yangcheng can still hold on, this is good news for them, the more time Yangcheng insists, the more time Black Iron City will prepare, and if the whole army can be equipped with these powerful muskets, then what is so terrible about the Holy Alliance, everyone is very excited.
