Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1184 Self-Suppression
And now, the incense stick that the strong man took out is the key.

And this thing that looks like incense sticks actually has a special name, it is Fire Tongue.

The difference between the fire tongue and the incense stick is that it has a lid. When not in use, you can close the lid and seal it.

As long as there is this cover, it is enough to ensure that the fire will not rekindle. The most important thing is that despite this, the fire is not extinguished.

It just cuts off the air and temporarily extinguishes it. Many inventions of ancient people are practical in this way.

They may not necessarily study why a fire goes out when it is covered with a lid. They do not understand these principles, but they can make objects that can achieve the same purpose through repeated attempts and summing up experience.

Firetongue is one of them.

The flame can be temporarily extinguished by closing the lid. When you want to use it, open it gently and blow on it gently, and the flame will quickly reignite. The whole process does not take more than half a minute.

This is measured in modern time. If we use the ancient time measurement method, it is roughly equivalent to a few fingertips!

Absolutely fast and absolutely practical, especially on the battlefield.

Right in front of Sima Shangzhi, the strong man calmly performed this series of operations. His movements were very skillful, and everything he did amazed Brother Shangzhi.

What are these weird things?
Why can the flame be controlled in such a small object and be ignited again at any time?

What magical method was used?

Sima Shangzhi wanted to ask questions, he wanted to understand all this, but now, he remained silent.

The strong man was obviously not so willing to demonstrate to him. If he was dissatisfied, the clues he had finally obtained might be lost.

Just bear with it!
Although temporary.

The tongue of fire has rekindled, and according to the rules on the battlefield, only a small movement is needed for the musket to be fired.

When Sima Shangzhi threw the gun to the strong man, he had already checked it. Yes, although there was no gunpowder, the projectiles were already loaded.

So, it can be said that everything is ready now.

All it takes is one action!
That's right!

Just an action!

At least you can take Sima Shangzhi's life directly!

This distance, this position, no problem, they are all within range!
The knife is still placed on the neck of his companion. Just like the strong man, he only needs a small movement and his soul can return to the loess.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as Sima Shangzhi is killed, the revenge of Jingkou will be avenged, and this shot will be worth it!

"All right!"

"Come quickly!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

Sima Shangzhi rubbed his hands with great anticipation. He seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, how does a weapon like a musket work?

In other words, how to make the musket hit the target?

There should be a goal!
Even if it is archery, there should be a target. Otherwise, where will the soldiers shoot?
However, now, many people are gathering in the courtyard. Although the place is relatively large, the places where people stand are relatively sparse.

If a shot is really fired at this place, it can be said that not everyone will be affected. However, as the commander, Sima Shangzhi, since you want the enemy soldiers to demonstrate the use of weapons, you should always designate a target.

However, it is obvious that Sima Shangzhi has no such plan. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't care at all.

As for the people of the Sima family, everyone should have made a prediction long ago.

Of course, the more chaotic the situation, the better. They don’t care about the order in Jingkou. If they want to seize Jiankang, how should they plan their next move?
Those complicated things have never been considered or entered into the mind.

"With one shot, you can live, and your brother can live too. Join our rebel army, and everything will be wiped out."

"Isn't it wonderful?"

"Tell me how to make it again, and you will be the leader. I will let you be the leader of the team!"

"How about it?"

Seeing that the strong man still didn't take action, Sima Shangzhi became a little impatient and quickly promised some conditions.

I think I'm quite generous.

But I didn't expect that the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

The strong man finally raised his gun. The plot reached the most critical moment, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Unfortunately, at this moment, no one, mainly on Sima Shangzhi's side, realized how dangerous it was to shoot a gun in this spacious courtyard!

As soon as a gunshot is fired, the number of people affected will definitely increase rapidly, and few people will be spared.

"You want me to perform for you?"

"How old are you?"

"You still want to steal the method of making muskets?"

"I tell you, I won't reveal even a word even if I die!"

"you!"

"you!"

"I have known for a long time that you would not obey your orders willingly!"

"Kill him for me!"

"kill him!"

Sima Shangzhi jumped up, and at the same time, a loud bang sounded instantly in the huge hall.

Suddenly, the dust was scattered, the smoke was steaming, and a huge sound, accompanied by yellow mist and the impact of gunpowder, swept across the entire courtyard.

In the yellow mist, the strong man raised his gun, but it was not pointed at any target, but aimed at his own head!

If you take this shot, your life will be gone!
The projectiles pushed out by the gunpowder went straight towards the strong man's head. That was real gunpowder!
Those are real solid projectiles!

Just one shot!
Just one small shot can penetrate a person's skull!
With a bang, people fell down one after another, affected by the huge sound, and covered by yellow mist. At first, people were deceived by these illusions.

I was so panicked that I didn’t know what to do except run for my life!
Even the soldier who was holding his companion put down his sword and ran away. The companion broke free from the suppression and rushed to the front.

The yellow mist gradually dissipated, and he finally saw the strong man.

He was lying on his back, still holding the musket in his hand. The musket was still emitting smoke, but this time, it was not the enemy's life that it took away!

"what!"

"what!"

What he saw in front of him was beyond the expectations of his companions. The strong man's originally heroic face was completely distorted, and the projectiles entrained with gunpowder hit his head at close range.

The entire hole was penetrated, and most of the face was collapsed.

Even the hand holding the musket was blackened and scorched by the powerful recoil!

That face was ferocious and terrifying.

The death scene was extremely tragic.

Soon after the noise, the yellow mist dissipated. The frightened soldiers gradually regained their consciousness, and some crawled out from the corners.

Some of them went and came back again, carefully running back from the outside.

General Sima Shangzhi was different. He came out from behind the screen!
Correct!
General, he can still stand!

He can still walk. Look, he is indeed a general!It’s just unusual!
It's not on the same level as us at all!

When Sima Shangzhi dared to come out, both the smoke and the loud noise were gone, and everything was clear before his eyes.

Everything can be seen clearly.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"died!"

"I am dead!"

"Give me back my life!" Sima Shangzhi didn't dare to move forward when he saw the strong man's muddle-headed face and the tragic death.

The strong man's companion was already frightened crazy.

He thought that the unrecognizable man lying on the ground was him, but at this moment Sima Xiuzhi emerged from nowhere.

Probably underground, or in some kind of dog hole, he said loudly: "Brother, this person must be killed too!"

Yes!

The strong man is dead, how can his companions still live?

Of course he should die too!
Sima Xiuzhi knew that he was back at this time!

What did he do long ago?
He must have run away just now!

What kind of hero is this?
"I would rather die than surrender!"

"He's quite a man!"

"That's it!"

"Lock him up and let him stay with Liu Laozhi!"

The strong man's suicide was not meaningless. He once again defeated Sima Shangzhi's attempt to steal the secrets of firearm making.

Soon, news of his heroic sacrifice spread throughout Jingkou.

Many soldiers who were hiding in secret knew about his heroic actions, and they all sighed for it. People respected him, and at the same time they secretly determined that what he could do, we can do the same!

Keep it a secret!

Not letting Sima Shangzhi succeed has become a common promise among the remaining forces in Jingkou that does not need to be announced.

Without the death of a strong man, such a consensus would not have been possible.

It can be said that his death weighed a thousand kilograms, which made the hearts of the frustrated Jingkou soldiers unite again.

No matter what, hold on!
Hold on!

The death of one person also changes the fate of another person.

The companion who should have rushed to Huangquan Road earlier, now escaped and was thrown into a mansion.

The door opened, and the big man with a purple-black face stood up. A man was pushed in through the crack in the door. Prisoner Liu was stunned when he saw it.

"you are still alive?"

"Why did they send you in?"

After the door opened slightly, it closed again in an instant. Liu Laozhi could only vaguely glimpse two soldiers who sent people in.

I haven't seen him usually. He has been locked up here for several days. Someone takes care of him when he eats every day, but it is impossible to get out.

The door has long been locked firmly, and the windows are sealed tightly.

With Liu Laozhi's martial arts skills, he would naturally have a way to break out of the door, but he knew that even if he opened the door, he would not be able to escape.

Because, do you think there are only these two people guarding outside?
Of course that's impossible!
The General's Mansion now looks peaceful on the surface, and once inside, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

But what?

Not only had the outside of the house been surrounded by soldiers, but even the small courtyard where Liu Laozhi was imprisoned had been filled with people.

Even if you defeat the few in front of you, what can you do?

The entire Jingkou City has been occupied by the Sima brothers, and their people are wandering everywhere. As long as they say hello, dozens or hundreds of people will rush out to take Liu Laozhi's life.

Liu Laozhi is not that stupid. Since he has failed and is unable to recover, there is no need to give up his life.

Pointless.

What's more, vaguely, he always felt that his life was still useful and could help the Beifu brothers.

However, Liu Laozhi no longer thinks so.

"Who said I'm alive?"

"I am dead!"

"I'm a dead man!"

The man who was thrown in was Liu Laozhi's guard. Since Yuan Fei was beheaded, Liu Laozhi could only promote some new people.

He was originally a brave man, but now, that man didn't seem to be injured, but his face was frightened, his eyes were dull, as if his soul had been taken away.

He kept crawling on the ground, mumbling, obviously frightened.

At this time, Liu Laozhi thought of his companions.

He suddenly grabbed the man and stared at him with tiger-like eyes: "Where is Xue Tanshou?"

"tell me!"

"You are alive, where is Xue Tanshou?"

Xue Tanshou is naturally the name of the strong man who died tragically.

Should he be lucky that his general still remembers him and has not forgotten him yet!

Can Liu Laozhi's performance make the death of a strong man meaningful and worthwhile?

Liu Laozhi pressed hard, but Xue Tanshou's companion seemed to have had his soul taken away by a monster and could not hear his questions at all.

"he died!"

"I'm dead too!"

"We are all dead!"

"died!"

"All dead!"

"Even you are dead!"

"Bang!"

"Take them all away!"

The man grabbed Liu Laozhi's shoulders and muttered these words half-madly and half-foolishly, over and over again without any intention of stopping.

Liu Laozhi felt something abnormal, something was wrong, he was crazy!
What happened in the end?

Is Xue Tanshou alive or dead?
Liu Laozhi was so impatient that he slapped the man's mouth several times with such force that the man's face swelled up as soon as the big hand left.

However, I have to say that these mouths were struck correctly. From the beginning, the man's eyes gradually became a little brighter. Liu Laozhi seemed to be able to see that he was in the man's eyes and he was looking at him!

After a while, the man seemed to wake up from the abyss. When he regained his consciousness again, Liu Laozhi's standard big purple-black face appeared in front of him without any defense.

"General Liu!"

"I am?"

The man's eyes were full of doubts. It was obvious that he had no memory of what had just happened, and he had no idea what he had done.

Liu Laozhi sighed: "You went crazy just now. Let me ask you, where is Tan Shou?"

Upon hearing Xue Tanshou's name, the man's shoulders stiffened immediately, as if all the muscles in his body were tightened.

When his eyes met Liu Laozhi again, tears burst out instantly!
"General Liu, Brother Tanshou is dead!"

"He killed himself with a musket!"

Liu Laozhi fell into hell!

In one word, he was led into that dark, cold, dangerous, and gloomy place. Xue Tanshou was dead!
He actually committed suicide!
That was Liu Laozhi's most trusted guard. He kicked Yuan Fei away and replaced him with Xue Tanshou. Only then did Liu Laozhi realize that there was such a diligent and loyal guard in the world.

And this kind of guard is what a guard should be like. He has been insisting on his own way, gathering all the little kids around him, making it difficult for gentlemen to get close to him.
