Chapter 911: Insight into Identity
The long sword in her hand drew a series of sword shadows, and the sword qi swept around, and every bullet that attacked was intercepted under her sword shadow.
Her fierce swordsmanship actually intercepted all the musket bullets without causing any effect on her!
Seeing this scene, Bai Lang's eyes were full of shock. I never thought that the musket team that I was proud of would not have any effect on the two people in front of me at this moment!
If the man did the same, wouldn't he say that his musket team was useless?
But at the beginning, he relied on this ten-person musket squad to kill a first-class master of the rivers and lakes, three second-rate martial artists of the rivers and lakes, and when he ordered the musket squad to shoot at the first-class master, the first-class master did not even block a face, but now the woman in front of him is a long sword that has stopped all the bullets! The attack of the musket squad is ineffective against them!
"Where's the artillery, hurry up and push the cannon out for me, and you guys will also go over and help, hurry!"
Bai Lang screamed in horror, the sweat on his forehead rained down, and he was startled by Zhu'er's dripping sword defense.
But Zhu'er's face was blue at the moment, although she didn't pay attention to these musket bullets that were shot, but the approach of the musket team made her feel cold!
Fire gun, the treasure of the imperial court. The huge Zhao State is only equipped with four guards. One guard post has 5,600 people, that is to say, the regular firearms establishment army of the entire Zhao State does not exceed 30,000 people.
It is difficult to cast this thing, and the requirements for the material are very high, if you use a lower material to cast the firegun, even if the musket is cast, it is easy to explode and hurt your own people.
As far as the material is concerned, it has become an obstacle to look at the casting firecracker. Otherwise, the entire army of Zhao State would probably have been equipped with this firearm a long time ago, and it would be enough to form a deterrent to the warriors of the rivers and lakes.
Emperor Qing really wanted to promote the musket to the whole army, if it could be promoted by the whole army, the territory of Zhao would continue to expand, and the prestige of the imperial court would inevitably rise, enough to form a deterrent to the rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, the conditions for casting muskets were too harsh for them to equip the whole army.
Rao is so, there are also some important places equipped with musket squads, the number of people in the squad is not large, but the muskets are definitely passable. This is used to deal with emergencies, and the guard post equipped with muskets is the biggest hole card of the imperial court!
However, now these firecrackers, which belong to the sharp weapons of the imperial court, are aimed at Zhu'er at this time, which makes the anger in Zhu'er's heart seem to be able to burn the entire thousand households.
"Your muskets are used against gangsters, not against the people! Your guards first forcibly collected tolls, then shot us with archers, and now they are using muskets.
She yelled at the white waves as she attacked. If it weren't for Shangguan Xiaoyao being by her side, she would even want to destroy this thousand households.
Although Shangguan Xiaoyao had agreed to let her go on a killing spree here, they were the regular army of the imperial court after all, and if they were all killed, it would be a loss for the imperial court. What's more, if the news of the destruction of a thousand households spreads, it will have a great impact on Shangguan Xiaoyao's reputation.
Originally, there were people outside spreading rumors that Shangguan was free, and if this thousand households were destroyed this time, it would undoubtedly be an important example to prove to the world that the prince was cruel!
Bai Lang, who was far away, heard these words, but his face was ruthless, and he said: "What about my thousand households, it's not your turn to say, in this General Mountain, I am the absolute king here, even if the emperor comes, you have to stand aside for me!"
When these words fell, many of the sergeants behind him changed color, and no one thought that Bai Lang would say such a thing at this moment.
"Lord Qianhu, be cautious!" a centurion reminded Bai Lang with a solemn expression.
"My lord, we are soldiers of the imperial court and the defenders of the Zhao State, we are not rebellious!" another centurion reminded.
"Lord Qianhu, let's be the king of the soil here, and it doesn't matter if we say these things in front of our own people, but if this word spreads, our entire Qianhu Institute will be finished!"
Hearing the reminders of several centurions under him, Bai Lang said: "Let's collect tolls in this General Mountain, pretend to be bandits in this General Mountain, these things have been known by the imperial court, and in the near future, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to destroy us, in this case, why don't we come out independently, occupy the favorable terrain of this General Mountain, and fight with the imperial court to the end?"
Bai Lang's words made the sergeants behind him commotion. If his previous words may have been unintentionally offensive, then his current words are outright counterwords.
And this time he said that what they had done in this General Mountain had already been known to the imperial court, how could the imperial court know what they were doing here?
What they are doing here is very secretive, some of the bandits in the General's Mountain have not been exterminated, and the matter has been subdued, and they are acting according to the orders of their thousand households.
This level of relationship is impossible for outsiders to know, so how can the imperial court know?
Seeing the look of panic on everyone's faces, Bai Lang continued: "Everyone, we don't have a choice. The Imperial Court already knows what we are doing in General Mountain, so instead of waiting for the Imperial Army to come and destroy us, it is better to set yourself up as the king!"
At this moment, he directly despised the emperor, the imperial power, and the entire Zhao State. He even uttered the words 'self-established king', which terrified the hearts of many sergeants.
But Bai Lang didn't care about this, because he had already guessed the identities of Shangguan Xiaoyao and Zhu'er in front of him! A woman who kept questioning her 'duties' was enough to prove that the other party was a member of the imperial court!
"Lord Qianhu, we are all sergeants of the imperial court, how can we go out independently? We are guarding this general mountain, although it goes against the original intention of guarding here, but we are always the sergeants of the imperial court!"
"Hmph, when the court threw us here that day, it gave up on us. In addition to paying us military salaries, what else did the imperial court do to us?"
"Yes, the court has abandoned us a long time ago. We are guarding this General Mountain, and the imperial court promised us that we can rotate with other guards every two years, but in the past ten years, can we rotate our posts?"
"But after all, we are the soldiers of the Zhao State, if we set ourselves up as kings, wouldn't we betray the entire Zhao Kingdom?"
"Betrayal? Since the imperial court has abandoned us a long time ago, then why should we guard this general mountain for this imperial court? If we say that we are betraying the imperial court by establishing ourselves as kings, then what about betrayal!"
“......”
Voices kept coming out of the crowd, and because of Bai Lang's words, the soldiers of the Thousand Households were all in a discussion.
Bai Lang listened to the majority of the crowd agreeing with the conditions for himself to be the king, with a smile on his face, and said, "Everyone, in fact, we have no way out. We have offended the prince, no matter what choice we make, the outcome is doomed, so the only way to survive may be to stand up as a king and work hard!"
As soon as Bai Lang's words were finished, a puzzled voice came out of the crowd again: "Prince?
"Where did the prince come from? Lord Qianhu, how can the matter of our guard's independence have anything to do with the prince?"
"Wait, those two...... Could it be that the man in front of us is the prince?"
"Hiss......"
The crowd was completely boiling, and no one expected that the prince would appear in front of them, and he was blackmailed by his own people!
Bai Lang heard the discussion in the crowd, waved his hand, and said, "You guessed well, this man is the current prince, Zhao Rui." And the woman next to him is a maid with first-class strength, what is the state of the military discipline of our guard, everyone knows better than me, not to mention that we have offended the prince, even if we have not offended the prince, will His Royal Highness the prince stand by and watch when he sees the scattered military discipline of our guard?"
When they heard this, they fell silent.
Bai Lang pointed out Shangguan Xiaoyao's identity, and they offended Shangguan Xiaoyao, just this point, it is destined not to be good at this time!
Finding that everyone was silent, and the people of the musket team did not continue to attack Shangguan Xiaoyao and the others, Bai Lang continued: "The prince is brutal and murderous, he will definitely not let us go like this, anyway, we will die horizontally and vertically, why don't we fight!"
"Give it a go!"
"Let's set ourselves up as kings, occupy this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack General Mountain, and fight for our lives!"
“......”
Hearing that most people agreed with his practice of becoming a king, Bai Lang said loudly again: "Everyone, since we want to establish ourselves as kings, then these two people can't be let go today, everyone is ready, you must play a twelve-point spirit, and you must leave these two people for me!"
"Yes!"
In the crowd, except for a few who did not respond, everyone else claimed yes.
And what Bai Langhe said to the sergeant of the Thousand Households made the killing intent in Zhu'er's heart boil, and he respectfully said to Shangguan Xiaoyao: "Childe, I didn't want to destroy this Thousand Households, but now I can't destroy them." They no longer belong to the imperial court, they are not loyal to the country, such a guard, it is only a scourge to keep it!"
Shangguan's carefree expression was unwavering, even if he heard Bai Lang's remarks, he didn't take it seriously.
Zhu'er is going to destroy these thousand households now, and he will not stop him, so he immediately nodded and said: "The firearms team of this thousand households is a bit powerful, you have to deal with them, but you have to be careful." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, there must be things in this world that can hurt me, but it definitely doesn't include these ten-person firearms team!"
