Chapter 4: Snooping
When night fell, the moonlight covered the wilderness like a hazy silver veil. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cheng Zhantang's figure was like a gecko with rapid movements, the whole person was clinging to the ground, his clothes were in tatters, his face was covered with dust, and he couldn't hide his tired look.
Absconding from a tiger and wolf lair like the New Dynasty with his junior brother has almost exhausted all his mental strength. He barely closed his eyes in the past few days. Despite his physical strength, he can't resist such consumption.
Cheng Zhantang didn't dare to get too close, he hid behind a bush two miles away from the patrol point, squinted his eyes and observed carefully.
After a while, after roughly determining the number of people, Cheng Zhantang quickly retreated like a nimble big civet cat.
Returning to the back of a mountain col and seeing Cheng Zhantang returning, another young man looked nervous and asked hopefully:
"Senior brother, how is it?"
Cheng Zhantang shook his head, sighed, and said solemnly:
"Like everywhere else, it's locked down. ”
Bai Mingxuan sat down on the ground, his face was pale like a dead man, and he seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, and after a while, he choked up and said:
"My father died, my uncle also died, they all died, I explored martial arts all my life, and even opened the first divine treasure of the human body, but I was shot to death by an ordinary group of soldiers with a divine roar cannon...... Now, we're going to die too......"
Cheng Zhantang's expression was extremely stern, and he shouted in a low voice: "Mingxuan, Master, Uncle, their lifelong wish is to regain the supreme inheritance of the Star Lie Sect! For it, the elders are willing even to pay the price of their lives!"
Bai Mingxuan raised his head, his eyes were extremely desperate: "What about the Supreme Inheritance? If you can dodge all kinds of firearms of the Heavenly Artifact Bureau, can you still beat even the smallest Divine Roar Cannon......?
Cheng Zhantang slapped Bai Mingxuan hard:
"Stupid! If firearms are so indestructible, can our Northern Wilderness Martial Arts Realm survive until now!?"
Then he grabbed Bai Mingxuan's shoulders tightly, stared into his eyes and said:
"Our lives are no longer our own! The fate of our vein is all pressed on you and me! Now we are only one step away from success! As long as we break through this blockade line, we will return to the deep mountains and the dragon to the sea!"
"You and I are carrying the last hope of the Xingchen Liesu Sect!"
Bai Mingxuan was silent, then reined in his depressed mood, cheered up and whispered:
"I'm sorry brother, I lost my temper. ”
Cheng Zhantang put his mind at ease, and his rough face was full of fortitude: "Master entrusted you to me, even if I die, I will let you return to the Northern Wilderness intact!"
He looked in the direction of the blockade and said categorically:
"Take a break for an hour to recharge your energy and maintain your strength. Break through when they are the most lax and tired in the third watch!"
"Mingxuan, remember! When the time comes, I will rush forward to attract their forces and firepower, and you wait for the opportunity to break through from the other direction! No matter what you hear, don't stop!"
"Five miles! From here, as long as we cross the distance of five miles, they will no longer be able to help us! With our physical strength, as long as we are less than 100 breaths! After this 100 breaths, it will be victory!"
Bai Mingxuan nodded fiercely: "Senior brother, but you ......"
"Don't worry!"
Cheng Zhantang looked in the direction of the sentry point and said with a sneer:
"Of course, there is no chance of winning a frontal assault in broad daylight, and in the case of such a night raid, I will tell these soldiers of the new dynasty that the firearms in their hands are just a pile of broken copper and iron!
......
Li Tie's expression was excited and nervous, clenching the fire hammer, his eyes were like eagles, and he scanned the surrounding situation intently.
Yue Pingsheng still had countless questions circling in his mind at this time. This body seems to have a good relationship with the soldier, and perhaps some information can be extracted from this person.
While thinking like this, Li Tie suddenly turned his head to Yue Pingsheng and asked, "Ah Ping, what's wrong with you, I don't seem to have heard you speak since the gathering?"
Yue Pingsheng's heart suddenly mentioned, but he said: "It's okay, I'm just a little nervous." ”
Li Tie laughed:
"What's the tension! The light firearms in our hands are equipped with breaking bullets, and the longest range is a mile! The effective range is also 100 zhang! Unless those two bandits can stealthily touch under our noses, as long as they show their tracks, they will not be far from our meritorious service!"
The effective firing range is 100 kilometers, that is, 330 meters, and the longest firing range is 500 meters? This is almost equal to the effective range of modern rifles. But as he fumbled with the firearm in his hand, he couldn't see how such a crude firearm could reach such a long range.
This is a completely different firearm from the magic version of the Earth's firearms?
Yue Pingsheng's heart moved, and then asked, "How powerful do you say these two Northern Wilderness martial artists can be?"
Li Tie pouted: "Ah Ping, how do I know that we enlisted in the army at the same time." ”
"However, I've heard from other veterans," Li Tie changed his words and said mysteriously: "It is said that if you want to cultivate martial arts, you must first become a medicine jar, and people from ordinary families can't practice anything famous at all, how can they afford to spend this money? ”
"Oh?" Yue Pingsheng asked with an interested look, "What about the people who can practice fame, can they stop the fire in our hands?"
Li Tie said disdainfully:
"How is this possible? If they can resist it, they will not be driven to the Northern Wilderness by the New Dynasty. ”
"That veteran said that among the martial artists in the Northern Wilderness, he has seen a person with very strong force, capable of a hundred enemies, ordinary light firearms can't pose a big threat to him, and there is no way to take him without mobilizing a few divine roaring cannons. ”
Li Tie then smiled and said:
"But I think he's drunk and bragging, what kind of scene is it to fire hundreds of firearms at the same time? Even an iron man will be beaten into a sieve, let alone human flesh and blood?"
The power of firearms in this world is comparable to that of the earth's firearms, or even surpasses?
Yue Pingsheng thought secretly in his heart, Li Tie yawned and continued: "And even if such a martial artist really exists, what is the use? They have cultivated for I don't know how many years and how much money they have spent, but in the new dynasty, it only takes a few ordinary people like you and me to train for a few months to pick up firearms and kill them!"
Li Tie still maintained his vigilance while speaking, his eyes scanned back and forth, and he said: "I don't know where these two people will choose to cross the border from, there are thousands of sentinels on the border, I don't know if it will be our turn to be lucky." ”
Thousands of sentinel posts? If the patrol range of one sentinel is seven miles, isn't the border between the new dynasty and the so-called Northern Wilderness seven thousand miles? How big should the territory of the new dynasty and the Northern Wilderness be?
Yue Pingsheng continued to analyze and think in his heart, and now, he finally has a general understanding of this world.
The moonlight, which is brighter than the earth, gently caresses the wilderness, and the breeze is gentle, and the time has passed three times unconsciously.
