Chapter 707: Mission

In the palm of Zhao Chen's hand was a small thing, a cylindrical object wrapped in paper. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shangguan Xiu took it, pinched it, looked at it carefully, didn't see the reason, and asked, "Chen, what is this?"

"Paper shell bombs developed by the Bessa!"

"Paper shells?"

Zhao Chen took out the dagger, scratched the paper on the outside, and spread it out, there were only two kinds of things inside, one was gunpowder and the other was a projectile. Zhao Chen explained: "Brother Xiu, the principle of the paper shell bullet is very simple, that is, to make a cartridge out of paper skin, and put gunpowder and projectiles into the paper cartridge, but in use, it is extremely simple, eliminating the process of first filling the gunpowder to the gun, just release the paper shell bullet into the gun, and it can be fired directly, and the speed of shooting is two to three times that of our army!"

Shangguan Xiu showed a look of surprise and re-examined the paper shell bullet that had been 'dissected' by Zhao Chen. He was right, the principle of the cartridge is indeed very simple, that is, the gunpowder and projectile are configured in advance, put them into the paper tube, and when used, only need to tear off the paper skin at the end of the paper tube to expose the gunpowder, and then load the gunpowder.

Zhao Chen grabbed another handful of paper shells from his arms, handed them to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, these are all searched by the soldiers of our army from the Besa soldiers!"

It's such a simple paper shell bullet, but the invention can increase the firing speed of the soldiers' guns by two to three times, which is of great significance, as you can imagine.

A garrison of 30,000 people, using this kind of paper shell bullets, is equivalent to a two- to three-fold increase in strength, and it is understandable that the soldiers of the wind army will not be able to attack it for a long time. Tree such as the web address: heiyaпge off the mouth of the heart chapter

The paper shell bullet was indeed invented by the Besa people, it can be regarded as the most primitive bullet, and it was the alchemist of the Besa who developed the paper shell bullet.

When alchemists first appeared in Besa, they pursued a single goal, which was to seek a way to live forever (much like the alchemists in the time of the First Emperor).

Gradually, alchemists discovered that no matter what method was used, it was impossible for people to achieve immortality, and alchemists gradually set foot in other fields, making outstanding contributions to the improvement of metallurgical technology and manufacturing technology.

For many years, there are many alchemists who have been persecuted to death by the Holy See, but the results of alchemist research have been accepted and absorbed by the Holy See in large quantities.

The paper shell bullet was invented by alchemists, but the technology was soon mastered and blocked by the Holy See, who secretly produced 500,000 rounds of paper shell shells according to this principle.

This batch of paper shells was supposed to be transported to the main battlefield of Douky, and at that time, even Emperor Besa did not know about it, only Adams, who had a deep relationship with the Holy See.

When Ephrrodis asked Adams to withdraw his troops from Dooki, Adams vowed that he could end the battle of Dookie within a month, and his confidence came from the paper shell bullets secretly made by the Holy See.

The sudden use of this new type of ammunition on a battlefield of equal strength is enough to break the balance on the battlefield and catch the enemy army by surprise, so that the Besa Army can occupy an all-round initiative on the Duki battlefield and completely expel the Ningnan Army from the Duki, which is not impossible.

Unfortunately, Adams's self-confidence was interrupted by Heracgus before he could carry out the implementation, and the main force of the Besa army was withdrawn from Dooky and moved to the country.

The Besa army besieged Tang Ling and hundreds of thousands of Feng troops in the city of Sayre in the Gabul area, and the battle was smooth, and the Holy See did not transport this batch of paper shell ammunition again.

Later, when the Zhenjun army invaded the Tallinn region and directly threatened Goro, the capital of Bessa, the Holy See transported this batch of paper shell ammunition to the city of Jinsk to help the Jinsk city-state army defend against the Zhenjun army.

Under normal circumstances, the firing frequency of the firecrackers is about one projectile per minute, but with this new type of paper shell bullet, the firing frequency can be increased to two or three projectiles per minute.

It was under these circumstances that the Fourth Army of the Zhenjun Army was unable to capture the city of Jinsk, which was garrisoned by only 30,000 city-state troops. In addition, the strong defense of the city of Jinsk, and the unity of the army and people in the city, were also an important factor in the success of resisting the Zhenjun army.

After explaining the situation to Shangguan Xiu, Zhao Chen grinned and said, "But now it's okay, Your Majesty and Brother Xiu came together and captured the daughter of the Duke of Reina, and next, our army will take Jinsk City, and get twice the result with half the effort!"

Seeing Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu both looking at him, Zhao Chen continued: "It is said that Duke Reina is very fond of his daughter Hai Li and regards it as the pearl of his palm, we only need to cut off one of Hai Li's hands now and send someone to Jinsk City, Duke Reina may lose the fighting spirit to continue to resist!"

Hearing this, Tang Ling frowned, glared at Zhao Chen, and then turned his eyes to Shangguan Xiu. The latter lowered his gaze, held a paper shell bullet, and played back and forth in his hand. After a while, he said, "Now, we need to send someone to the city of Jinsk!"

An Yifu asked, "Who do you think is the right person to send?"

Shangguan Xiu didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Me!"

"My lord?" Hearing his words, including Tang Ling, they were all taken aback. Tang Ling raised his eyebrows in disbelief and asked, "Ah ...... Shangguan Aiqing, you don't want to tell me that you plan to personally send an envoy to Jinsk City, right?"

"That's exactly what Weichen meant!" Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "It is enough for me to send an envoy to Jinsk City alone to meet with the Duke of Reina. ”

Not only did he personally send an envoy to the city of Jinsk, but he also went alone, and the heads of everyone present shook like rattles. An Yifu and the others said in a loud voice: "My lord, don't do it, it's too risky to do this!"

The city-state of Kinsk was located just south of Goro and had the closest relationship with the city-state of Besa, and King Peter had an excellent relationship with the Duke of Reina, as did he and were like brothers.

Shangguan Xiu went to Jinsk City alone, it was too risky, in case he was taken hostage, then his idea of using Hailey to threaten Duke Reina would be completely useless, and he would have to be threatened by others.

Seeing everyone's worries, Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and said proudly: "Don't talk about Jinsk City, even in the entire Besa country, who can help me? Even if the negotiation collapses, I can't defeat the enemy army in one city, run, no one can stop me!"

"But ...... "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid that in case, the horse will stumble, and people will inevitably have omissions, for Shangguan Xiu's spiritual martial arts, everyone is very confident, but they still feel that it is too dangerous for him to go alone to Jinsk City."

People's eyes were focused on Tang Ling, they understood Shangguan Xiu's temperament, they said nothing, and they did what they said, and they acted resolutely, and now the only one who can dissuade him is His Majesty.

Tang Ling grabbed Shangguan Xiu's sleeve, walked a few steps to the side, came to the corner of the big tent, and whispered: "Ah Xiu, I also oppose you going on an adventure alone!"

Shangguan Xiu said meaningfully: "This is the only way to save Hailey, if you change someone else to negotiate, as long as the negotiation collapses, Hailey will definitely die." Xiang'er, do you really want to watch Hayley get killed?"

Don't look at the two of them, one is the emperor and the other is the commander in the army, but on the battlefield, there are some things that they can't help themselves. Now if the two of them want to cast Hailey, it is completely impossible, if they do this, it will only make the soldiers below all chill, the emperor of the country and the commander of the army are kind to the Bessa, and regard the Besa people as friends, so what kind of mentality do the soldiers have to go to the battlefield and fight with the Bessa? The army's heart is shaken and collapsed, what kind of battle will they fight?

Tang Ling naturally understood this truth, and she asked, "Ah Xiu, are you really confident that you can convince the Duke of Reina?"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said honestly: "At least it is more certain than sending other people to send envoys, and the sincerity is also more!"

"But if the people of the city-state of Kinsk want to do your ...... bad?"

After fighting in Besa for so long, Shangguan Xiu knows the Besa people very well. The higher the status of the Bessa, the more they will cherish their feathers, and value their own credibility and fame above all else, even their lives.

The Duke of Reina will not understand this truth if the two countries are at war, not to mention, if the other party really wants to turn his face against him, he is not afraid.

The corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "In the snowy mountains, the blizzard can't keep me, the wolves can't keep me, how can the mere Jinsk city-state keep me? Xiang'er, don't worry about my safety, just rest assured!"

Tang Ling looked at him meaningfully and said, "Now, I just need you to understand a little bit, I like Hailey very much, it's true, but in my mind, her life is far less than yours. ”

Shangguan Xiu's heart was moved, and he was going to hold Tang Ling's fragrant shoulder, but suddenly realized that all the generals in the camp were looking at them with blank eyes, his hand was raised slightly, and he immediately put it down, and said with a smile: "I know in my heart, even if it is for you, I will not take my life as a child's play." ”

"If you think so, I'm relieved. Tang Ling nodded and didn't persuade him more.

Now that he understands what he means to him, he is going to the city of Jinsk, which only shows that he is really sure that there will be no accidents in the city.

After the two of them walked back from the corner, Tang Ling Zhengse said, "Since Shangguan Aiqing is completely sure of success, then let's do it! I am waiting for you in the camp...... Good news!"

"Your Majesty Xie!" Shangguan Xiu bowed his hand and bowed.

Seeing this, all the generals present looked at each other, and no one could continue to dissuade them.

There was nothing to say that day, and the next morning, Shangguan Xiu, who had already changed into the costume of the Wind Country, went to Jinsk City alone.

When he approached the outer defense line of Jinsk City, a group of Besa troops quickly rushed from within the defense line, and the people surrounded Shangguan Xiu, who was alone, and the captain led by him asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"My name is Shangguan Xiu, and I came to Jinsk City this time to pay a special visit to Duke Reina!" Shangguan Xiu'an sat on his horse and said with a smile in Bessa unhurriedly.

No matter how lonely the Besa Army is, it is impossible not to have heard the name of the commander of the Wind Army. Hearing that he was Shangguan Xiu, the faces of the surrounding Besa soldiers also changed greatly, and they all took half a step back, and then people brushed up their guns and aimed their guns at Shangguan Xiu.
