Chapter 29

Vientiane Mountain.

This is a mountain that is much lower than Bilian Mountain, and it doesn't even have any mountains.

Songjiang Mansion is close to the sea and at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is a flat plain with few mountains.

Vientiane Mountain is only 400 meters above sea level, not so towering, but it has a large area, and the scenery is not bad. There are many animals in the mountains and forests, and it can be regarded as a small paradise.

However, early this morning, three thousand Jinyiwei captains mobilized from around the Songjiang Mansion broke the tranquility of Wanxiang Mountain.

Six hundred heavy armored soldiers, six hundred cavalry, and [-] captains with guns were surrounding the foot of the mountain and waiting for orders.

Not long after the three thousand Jinyiwei arrived, the Diancang faction on the mountain spotted them and made a mess.

"Master, thousands of troops have appeared at the foot of the mountain, all of them armed with firearms. There are also several hundred soldiers who are nearly two meters high, covered in metal armor, carrying a large boiler on their backs, and steaming iron cans all over their bodies!"

"This is the imperial court going to attack us!"

"I said it earlier, we should abandon the mountain gate, break it up into parts, and hide in it, and plan to come back when the situation changes!"

A few middle-aged men with long beards surrounded the head of the Diancang sect in brocade clothes, with a heartbroken and remorseful expression.

"Even if we give up the mountain gate and disperse, so what, we will still be defeated one by one by Jin Yiwei!"

"Make a fist with ten fingers, and it hurts when you punch it!"

The head of the Diancang Sect roared angrily: "My Diancang Sect has ten innate masters, thirty first-class masters, and countless second- and third-rate masters. It may not be without strength!"

"This is the end of the matter, there is only one battle!"

"Even if he wants to eat my pie, he will have to break a few teeth!"

"Call all the disciples of this sect and prepare for a bloody battle!"

Several elders of the Diancang Sect waved their long sleeves in grief and anger, then turned around and went to gather the disciples.

It's over, and there's nothing left to do.

Under Pen Ke's step by step crushing, they are really just a group of poor people who can only wait for the butcher's knife to fall, without any way out.

Just when the head of the Diancang Sect summoned all his disciples to prepare for the final fight.

At the foot of Vientiane Mountain, the captain of Sanqian Jinyiwei also ushered in today's protagonist.

Peng Ke arrived at Vientiane Mountain with Yan Jian, who had just arrived from Bilian Mountain.

Just met and chatted with Peng Ke for a few words, and then followed him to Yanjian here, looking at the army of the company at the foot of the mountain without saying a word, a small heart kept trembling.

The flintlock guns are fine, this thing is not a rare thing in Daming now, basically in all major mansions, you can see soldiers carrying flintlock guns on patrol.

However, the flintlock guns carried by the school captains of Jinyiwei in front of them are obviously much more advanced than those of the government army. Not only are they longer, but their appearance is also slightly different.

That's okay, at least it should still look similar to a flintlock.

But the other equipment brought by Jin Yiwei made Yan Jian a little dumbfounded.

He looked at the captains of Jinyiwei, carefully took out a bunch of round iron balls the size of a palm from wooden boxes, and each iron ball had a fuze on it.

"What kind of weapon is Mr. Peng's black iron ball? Why do the soldiers look so cautious?" Yan Jian couldn't help asking curiously to Peng Ke next to him.

After Peng Ke glanced lightly, he introduced to Yan Jian very "enthusiastically": "This is a weapon of war newly developed by our Daming Mo Academy, called Zimu Lei."

"The operation of this mine is very simple, you only need to ignite the fuse, and then throw it hard."

"It will explode within five seconds after being thrown, and nearly a hundred pieces of fragments in the iron ball will immediately splash out. The killing range can reach 30 meters, and the power is quite strong!"

"Although it may not be fatal in one blow, a first-class warrior will be riddled with holes and lose his resistance under the splash of a hundred fragments."

"This is a great weapon for the melee of the army. Hundreds of son and mother thunders are thrown at the enemy's phalanx, which can blow up the enemy's army with a radius of hundreds of meters."

"Whether it is used to attack or break out after being surrounded, it is very easy to use!"

Yan Jian's hands hidden under the long sleeves trembled slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and with a dry smile pointed to the school captains on the other side who were fiddling with weapons and asked, "What is that?"

Peng Ke looked along Yan Jian's fingertips, and saw a few captains of the Jinyiwei, who were wiping an oilcloth. One was installed on a disc, with more than a dozen barrels, a long wooden handle in the center, and a firearm on the perch. The "casing" of the device.

In addition, next to the "receiver", there is also a special small ax and a round card with a radius of 1 foot 6 inches.

"Oh, this one."

Peng Ke clapped his hands and smiled, and said proudly: "This is the Thunderbolt!"

"There are [-] gun barrels installed on the body of the gun. After each shot, you can fire another tube by turning the angle. It can shoot continuously. After all [-] tubes are fired, the front of the gun body can fire balls to burn the enemy soldiers. The power is still the same. Not bad."

"This is our army's heavy firepower weapon. It is a sharp weapon used to suppress the charge of the northern barbarian cavalry. As long as you arrange three, three, five thunderbolts, it can withstand the charge of the northern barbarian hundred cavalry!"

"Moreover, the barrel is equipped with a round plate as a shield, and the ax that supports the body of the gun during shooting can also be used for defense after shooting."

"Soldiers in our army who wield Thunderbolts usually cover and kill a wave of enemies first, and then wait for eighteen rounds of bullets to be fired before they wield an ax for close combat."

"The effect is very good!"

"Bei Man has suffered a lot from Thunderbolt!"

Yan Jian's eyes widened, and he pointed at the Thunderbolt in the distance in disbelief and said, "This thing can fire eighteen shots at a time?"

"Can you still shoot fireballs?!"

The only disadvantage of the flintlock gun is that it is relatively slow to load bullets. After all, it is front-loaded ammunition, and every time the gunpowder and bullets are loaded into the chamber, an iron bar needs to be stretched in and compacted before it can be fired.

A skilled musketeer can only do three rounds per minute at most.

So if a martial arts master is one-on-one with a musketeer, as long as he can avoid the first bullet, he can easily deal with the soldiers who need to be loaded with bullets.

It's just that the reason why the army is an army is because they don't fight alone at all, they are dispatched in an organized way, so it makes people so desperate.

But this multi-barreled gun called Thunderbolt can fire eighteen rounds in one go!
With this kind of weapon in Ming's army, it means that the firepower of individual soldiers has also been strengthened to an epic level.

Pinch mom!

One bullet is easy to dodge, how to dodge eighteen rounds!
Yan Jian looked up at the sky, his heart was broken.

It's not that I didn't work hard, but the Ming army is so powerful!

"Oh, by the way, Master Yan, there is one thing you may not know." Peng Ke looked at Yan Jian with a smile, and made another stab at his heart.

"Recently, the army of the imperial court is gradually changing their firearms. The front-loading flintlock guns are about to be completely eliminated."

"The new rifle of the 25th year of the Ming Dynasty is fired from the rear, and it uses a new firing process. Now it can achieve a firing rate of three seconds at the fastest."

"Actually, the Thunderbolt will be eliminated soon."

"The Mo Academy has already established a project called a machine gun. It has very strong firepower, and one can hold five or six thunderbolts!"

　The easter egg chapter has a photo of Thunderbolt, very handsome!
