please make me king

Chapter 178

After Zhang Shun's troops and Chuangying defeated the officers and soldiers, they each finished handling the battlefield and continued to attack Lingchuan County, trapping Wang Zhaosheng in Lingchuan County.

This time, Na Chuangying also got a lot of artillery, although they were all small Francophones and some Western cannons, which made Huang Laier and others ecstatic.They had seen the power of Zhang Shun's artillery before, and they were beaten all over their heads by Zhang Daojun. They finally realized the role of artillery, and they followed Zhang Shun's example this time.

Zhang Shun didn't know that he changed Chuangying's view on firearms because of his messing around.Whether this is good or bad is unknown.

However, Zhang Shun didn't care about the changes in the camp.This guy also got a lot of Francophones and a few Western cannons this time, and he liked them so much that he handed them over to Li Shi'an and ordered him to lead a team to bombard Lingchuan County.

As a result, extreme joy turned sorrowful, but for some unknown reason, two cannons suddenly exploded, injuring more than a dozen people and killing several gunners.

The cannon doesn't matter, anyway, it's made of stubborn iron.If it doesn't work, just find a chance to cast more than a dozen doors.It's just that gunners are hard to come by. At this time, gunners who light the fire are easy to find, but gunners who shoot accurately are hard to find.

In this day and age, there were very few literate people, and they couldn't understand what Zhang Shun told them about ballistics, parabolas, and air resistance.What's more, Zhang Shun hasn't used this knowledge for many years, at most there is only one concept left, and there is no formula to use at all, so it is even more confusing.

It's just like the legendary "to make yourself faint, to make others clear", you don't understand it yourself, but you still want to teach others?
Zhang Shun had no choice but to resort to stupid methods to cultivate more than a dozen talents, who were still treated as treasures by him, for fear of being wooed away by others.Good guy, this time, a quarter of the talents are missing.

What's even more tragic is that because of the explosion of the cannon, Zhang Shun's rebel army also had doubts about the reliability of the cannon, and they were not as active in firing and firing the cannon as before.

Zhang Shun really wants to tell them that it's okay, it's normal to blow up the chamber in this day and age, and it's weird not to blow up the chamber.However, Zhang Shun held back at least, he was afraid that once he said this, none of his gunners would run away.

Zhang Shun knew very well that the cannons must have been released too much, and the cannons must have accumulated a lot of problems, which were invisible on the surface, and would blow up after a long time.

However, in order to appease the gunners under his command, Zhang Shun had no choice but to go over and inspect it himself.Holding the blackened cast iron fragments in his hand, he carefully looked at them for a long time, and then said seriously: "These two cannons have caused too much damage, and they have committed evil spirits. We need to find a Taoist priest to do some rituals before we can use them." Keep everyone safe!"

As a result, the gunners under Zhang Shun's command moved away from the artillery after hearing this.Zhang Shun said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this evil spirit only makes trouble when the cannons are fired. So these are empty cannons, they can't hurt anyone."

Seeing the false alarm, those gunners felt at ease, and hurriedly asked where can I find a Taoist priest?

Zhang Shun saw that this method was possible, and sure enough, he had a large number of feudal superstitious elements under his command.Then he laughed and said: "I heard that there is a Daoist of retreat under the command of the Second Master, can you please come and help me if it is just right."

When the Taoist practitioner was invited by Zhang Shun's subordinates, he couldn't believe his ears that he actually asked himself to do something for their artillery.

Taoist Wuxu had nothing to say, and secretly complained in his heart: Damn it, I'm not here for a few months, how come everyone has learned how to lie?For a long time, I, an old Taoist priest, was about to lose my job.

Zhang Shun looked at the former "Ma Daoist" who was wearing iron armor and was old and strong, but now a Taoist monk, he was also powerless to complain.This cow-nosed old man is quite old, but he can still fight in person?

Zhang Shun brushed aside the sticky red and white dust whisk in the old man's hand, and said with a smile, "Master Practitioner, don't blame me for disturbing you. It's just that you are going to the battlefield at your age? How come the whisk is dyed red!"

The old Taoist shook the whisk proudly, throwing out some blood stains, and said with a smile: "Old Taoist, my magic is boundless, and I can use the light whisk like a hammer. I have a method here, first practice ten times with heavy objects. The eight-pound hammer is practiced until it is as easy as swinging a feather, which is called lifting weights as lightly as possible; and then practiced lightly, until it is swung like a thousand weights, which is called lifting as lightly as heavy. After practicing here, picking flowers and flying leaves , can hurt people!"

The soldiers under Zhang Shun's command couldn't help being fascinated after hearing this, and praised one after another: "The Taoist master is good at immortality, hurry up and do some magic with me!" Some people shouted in doubt: "The Taoist priest Hu Blow up the air, if you have the ability and perform with us, you will be trusted!"

The Taoist Wuxu was determined to be true, he just smiled and said: "Knocking off another head will only pollute my baby, and I will show you to knock on a branch to see!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Taoist practitioner swung the whisk in his hand vigorously, only to hear a "click", and broke a branch as thick as two fingers with the soft hairs on the whisk.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun's subordinates couldn't help being shocked, and all praised Taoist Wuxu for his great immortal skills.Only that Zhang Shun was quite puzzled, why didn't the Ma Taoist himself know how much he weighed, and what tricks he was playing here?
The Taoist Wuxu knew that Zhang Shun knew his details, so he took advantage of people not paying attention and explained in a low voice: "I have an iron gall hidden in this whisk, like a goose egg, designed to smash people's heads!"

After hearing this, Zhang Shun almost said a word: Are you the Heavy Armored Priest?
It turned out that the Ma Daochang was walking alone in the rivers and lakes, fearing that he would encounter danger, he made a pair of iron whisks, except for the decorative horsetail, there was an iron gall hanging inside the horsetail, what kind of whisk is this?This is clearly a flail made of refined iron!

This game is really insidious, you watched the old Taoist come over with a light whisk.And when he wants to dust you off or drive away mosquitoes and flies, who would have expected that your bones would be broken or your brain would be blown out.

How many pitiful heroes have lost their lives at the hands of this old Taoist priest.When the city of Zezhou was in chaos, the two cronies that Han Tingxian sent to supervise the old Taoist priest died accidentally in this way at the hands of the old Taoist priest.

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but secretly cursed: How insidious!
Not to mention the tribute incense candles that Zhang Shun and others were preparing to do, but they heard that "Zijin Liang" had returned.

I saw that the second leader "Zijin Liang" was full of spirits and said happily: "The big thing is over! That Zhang Daojun has been persuaded by me and agreed to tell the emperor about our loyalty to the court. I will get rid of my identity as a thief and enjoy my life in peace." The high-ranking official and rich salary have gone!"

"Is this true?" Zhang Shun wondered, he came from later generations, although he didn't know much about history, he should have heard about it, and he didn't know what the result was in history.

"It's guaranteed to be fake!" "Zijin Liang" laughed.

"Then is Lingchuan County still under attack?" Someone asked.

"What are you fighting for?" "Zijin Liang" interjected, "We're all colleagues after all, let's save some face for each other!"
