But now, Ah-cho can even hit a running deer [-] meters away.

After praising A-cho's marksmanship, Ogata pulled out the push rod inserted under the barrel of Ume-ran, and began to reload Ume-ran.

In this era of front-loading guns where firearms are still "need to insert bullets along the barrel", there will be several small holes lined up along the barrel at the bottom of the barrel.

The push rod specially used to push the projectile into the barrel can be installed under the barrel along these small holes, which makes it very convenient to carry.

Ogata skillfully took out new projectiles and put them into the barrel, poured gunpowder, and then compacted the projectiles and gunpowder with the push rod.

Looking at Ogata's skilled movements, A-Machi said to Ogata in a complimenting tone:

"Your reloading action is also very proficient now."

Ogata has been practicing the use of Meiran frequently these days, so the reloading proficiency of Meiran is also increasing rapidly.

At this time, A-Machi also pulled out the push rod hanging under the barrel of the Kentucky long rifle, and began to load the gun in his hand.

It is a good habit that Ogata and A-Machi have always maintained to keep the guns on their bodies ready to fire at all times.

While loading their respective guns, Ah-machi casually said to Ogata:

"Now the firearms are really developing more and more powerful. Now there are even such powerful firearms on Europa."

A-Ming looked at the Kentucky long rifle in his hand with complicated eyes.

"In a few years, I don't know what new firearms will be produced by the firearms craftsmen of Europa."

"When more powerful firearms come out, I don't think there will be any need for samurai swords on the battlefield in the future."

"It's hard to imagine what it will be like when our country no longer needs samurai swords."

Atachi, who is used to the scenes of samurai with swords at their waists, can hardly imagine what it would be like for samurai to stop wearing swords one day.

"That day will probably come soon." Ogata said, "Maybe in our lifetime, we can see the day when the samurai sword is no longer needed and the samurai sword will become history."

Although Ogata didn't know much about Japanese history in his previous life, he still knew about some major events in Japanese history.

If Ogata remembers correctly, in about 6 or 70 years, in the middle of the 19th century, Commodore Perry of the United States will lead a naval fleet to blast open the gates of Japan, and then Japanese reformers will launch the "Falling War" to overthrow the The Tokugawa family overthrew the Edo shogunate, and the "Meiji Restoration" began.

Not long after the "Meiji Restoration" began, the new Meiji government promulgated the "Abolition of Swords Order", which abolished the right of the samurai to wear a sword and deprived the samurai of the saber at their waists.

If Ogata and A-machi live long enough, maybe they will be able to see the scene of the samurai being scrapped.

But by the time we can see it, Ogata, A-Machi and the others will be in their 90s or nearly a hundred years old.

"If such a day really happened, it's really hard to imagine the scene where the samurai no longer wear swords," A-cho said.

After chatting briefly for a while, the two put away their weapons that had already been filled with bullets, and walked towards the deer that was killed by A-cho just now.

The deer had been shot in the stomach, and was dead when Ogata and Machi approached it.

"Machi, help me." Ogata said, "Let's move the deer to the carrot."

"okay."

During this period of time, the animals that Ah Ding killed for marksmanship practice would be moved back to Qina Village and given to the villagers of Qina Village.

No matter how much meat is given to them, they will always find a way to digest it.

Either eaten directly, or made into jerky.

At the beginning, when Ogata offered the prey they killed to the villagers of Qina Village, they refused to accept it because they were flattered.

It wasn't until Ogata's lips were worn out that the villagers of Qina Village finally accepted the prey that Ogata and the others sent.

Ogata and A-Machi first bled the deer, and after draining the blood from its body, Ogata grabbed the deer's four hooves and carried the deer to his radish.

This time he accompanied Ah Ding into the forest to practice marksmanship, and Ogata brought over his new horse carrot.

The purpose is to bring back the prey that was shot down conveniently.

Although the radish is a mare, it has very beautiful and powerful muscles, and carrying a deer is nothing to it.

Ogata tied the deer to Carrot's horse.

"Where are you going next?" Ogata asked.

"Let's go to the east." Ah-Ming said, "I seem to have seen a deer walking to the east just now. Let's look for that deer."

"Okay, let's go." Ogata nodded, then untied the horse tied to the tree trunk, led the radish, and followed A-Ming to the east.

"There are so many deer in Ezo." Ogata casually chatted to A-Machi.

"Yeah." A-cho spoke up, "I understand why the Ainu people still live a life of fishing and hunting until now. There are so many prey on the mountain, and there is no need to worry about food."

While chatting, the two of them finally found the deer that Machi had just mentioned.

It was a young-looking deer, with its back facing Ogata and the others, lowering its head to eat the grass on the ground.

After spotting the deer, Ogata and A-Machi immediately bent down, lowered their center of gravity, and moved closer to the deer bit by bit.

Both of them used the "Shiranui Sneak Technique", and moved towards the deer bit by bit with a footwork that was not easy to make a sound.

A-Ming even said that she also used the "Shiranui-ryu breath-holding technique" to lower her aura.

While approaching the deer, A-machi whispered to Ogata:

"Leave this deer to you to deal with."

Ogata, who was also trying to learn how to use a new gun recently, nodded lightly without refusing.

After getting close to the deer with a distance of about 20 meters, the two stopped because they thought that if they kept getting closer, the deer might find them.

The two of them crouched in a dense bush.

Ogata took out Meiran.

"It's actually wrong to aim the muzzle straight at the target." A-Machi reminded Ogata softly, "A bullet will not fly straight all the time. After flying to a certain distance, it will draw an arc." The thread falls. So learn to judge when the bullet will fall."

"I don't think I need to practice marksmanship to the point where I can judge when the bullet will fall." After groaning with a wry smile, Ogata aimed Meiran's gun at the Toru deer.

With a distance of 20 meters, Ogata can't guarantee that he can hit every shot.

At this moment, the deer suddenly turned around.

From the original back to Ogata and the others, it became sideways to Ogata and Atachi.

Fortunately, it still didn't notice the two hunters who were targeting it. Instead, because it was facing Ogata and the others, it was easier for Ogata to aim, and the deer's flanks could be seen at a glance.

The body function has been raised to a very high value, so that the weight of Meiran is nothing to Ogata, and there will be no hand shaking when holding the gun for a long time.

Aiming at the deer, he took a deep breath.

Then pull the trigger.

boom!

"woohoo"

The moment the gunshot rang out, the deer screamed in a low voice, ran forward a few steps unsteadily, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You hit it, you hit its neck." A-Machi, with amazing eyesight, reported to Ogata, "Umeran, you've used it very well now."

"The problem is that I aimed at its stomach." Ogata said silently, "It seems that it is too reluctant to hit a target 20 meters away with Meiran. For a target that is more than 10 meters away, it depends on luck. "

Ogata and A-Machi were about to dig out of the bushes to check on the prey they had just shot, when a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from a distance.

At the same time as the series of footsteps appeared, a familiar voice also sounded.

"Mashima! Machi! Mashima! Machi"

"Aiyaka?" Ogata Xunsheng turned his head away.

The owner of this voice is undoubtedly Aiyaka.

The day after the "Cossack attack" incident, Aiyaka returned to their village of Kuma on a dog sled.

In the evening, he brought back the doctor from their Kuma village.

Since returning to Qina Village, he has been living in Qina Village during this incident.

After all, he was the one who brought the doctor from their village here, and he couldn't just leave the doctor from his village in Kina Village and go back to the village by sleigh.

Although the doctor from their village brought by Aiyaka did not play any role.

Those in charge of treatment were mainly the doctors under Skulucci's command.

Since Skulucci promised to send his doctors to help the injured villagers in China Village, whether it was the doctors in China Village or the doctors from other villages who came to help, they all became mere helpers.

After hearing Aiyaka's voice, Ogata and A-Machi immediately went out of the bushes and greeted the place where the voice came from.

Soon, they saw Aiyaka.

"Mashima, Machi. We finally found you!"

"Aiyaka." Ogata said, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

"Of course I'm here to look for you." Aiyaka said, "Come back to China Village with me. Chief Chepke and the others are back."

"Chief Chepke seems to have something urgent to tell you, and he is looking for you everywhere."

Chapter 497 Ogata: Soaking in a hot spring with A-cho?Not interested! (Put away the map) [Burst Update 1W1]

Many readers above pointed out that the way to load the flintlock gun should be to pour the gunpowder first, and then load the projectile.

I checked, and it seems to be the case.

my pot, my pot

The author is here to make a errata. In the previous chapter, the loading method of Ogata and Atachi is a textbook error.The flintlock gun should be filled with gunpowder first and then loaded with bullets.

"Is something wrong?" Ogata asked back.

"Well, seeing that Village Chief Chepke is looking for you in such a hurry, I don't think it's a trivial matter. So I came here specially to ask you to go back to the village right away."

Knowing that Chepke was still looking for them in a hurry, Ogata's doubts and interests were all aroused at once.

"I see." Ogata nodded, "We'll go back right away. Aiyaka, come and help us. We just hunted a deer. You're better at bloodletting or something."

As an "old hunter", Aiyaka has long been familiar with how to bleed deer and bears.

After quickly bleeding the deer that Ogata had just hunted, and then tied it to Carrot's horse, the three of Ogata hurried back to China Village.

Because they don't want to encounter troublesome animals like bears and wolves, Ogata and the others only practice horses and guns in the surrounding areas near the village of Kina.

So after only a while, they returned to Qina Village.

After so many days, the remnants of the war that were attacked by the Cossacks have finally been cleaned up in sevens and eighties.

The damaged houses and roads have been tidied up.

The treatment of the wounded has also been successfully completed with the help of doctors under Scruucci's command.

It is now the end of the 18th century, even the steam engine and the first industrial revolution have begun, and the medical skills in Europe have also made great progress.

The medicine in Europe and the United States has left the ignorant period when they would bled the patient whenever they were sick, or beat the patient with a stick, so that the disease would be frightened and then leave on its own.

The reason why Europeans loved bleeding at every turn was related to a famous doctor named Hippocrates in ancient Greece.

The doctor named Hippocrates put forward the famous "humor theory", which believed that there are four kinds of humors in the human body: blood, mucus, black bile, and yellow bile.

The reason why people get sick is because of the ghosts of these four kinds of body fluids.

Too much or too little of any of these 4 body fluids can cause different types of diseases in the human body.

For example: too much black bile, it is easy to get cancer.

According to the description of "humor theory", many diseases appear because there is too much blood in the human body.

That's why European doctors in the past were so fond of bleeding people.Give some blood to people, so that the blood in the body will be less, so that the disease will be cured.

It is now the end of the 18th century, and the Middle Ages have ended for two centuries. Although some doctors still believe that the theory of humors is true, many doctors have realized that this "theory of humors" is completely false.

The Western medical field, which has left the savage period, has developed far beyond the Eastern level in the field of surgery.

As early as the 13th century AD, some towns in Europe had developed medical universities due to medical needs. By the 15th century, surgery had become an independent medical specialty, and surgery began to flourish.

Surgery in Europe has now escaped the ignorance of using rusty scissors for surgery.

The four doctors under Skulucci's command are all doctors who are good at surgical operations. With the help of these four doctors, many villagers have been treated.

However, while many villagers were saved, more villagers died because there was no cure.

Skulucci had reminded Chepke before that although their current medical skills have made great progress, they are still very weak in the face of gunshot wounds caused by muskets.

In the past, muskets only made a small hole in the human body.

But now the musket hits the human body, but directly makes a small hole.
