Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 1224 King Wu and the Musket

In the Sangak Palace, the King of Wu held a memorial with a solemn expression on his face.

He has been studying this report for several days.

The news of the capture of the first city had already been sent back, although Dajing began to attack deeply as he had imagined.

But things were not as optimistic as he was.

There is no other reason, playing too fast!

The first city should have been stalemate for at least half a month before retreating. Why did they retreat in two or three days?

He once suspected that the above message was wrong.

Moreover, Li Pan has not returned yet, which makes it even more strange.

Could it be that Li Pan voluntarily abandoned the city and surrendered, and cooperated with Dajing?

Impossible, after all, this is his son, who will inherit his throne in the future, how could such a stupid thing happen.

But apart from internal and external collusion, how could a city be brought down so quickly?

Could it be...they have some new type of weapon?

This possibility is not impossible, but what kind of thing can capture the city in two days?

King Wu frowned deeply, puzzled.

The content of the report has exceeded his comprehension.

While thinking about it, someone from the palace notified him to enter the palace.

He prostrated himself in front of the King of Wu and said, "Your Majesty, the latest report from the front line has come. Dajing's army has broken another city and is temporarily resting in the city. Dajing's scout horses have already gone to the Hongfeng Basin."

King Wu murmured, "Is this news from our people stationed in the Hongfeng Basin?"

The speed of the opponent's advance was beyond his expectation, as if he was in a hurry.

The Hongfeng Basin is the thoroughfare of all parishes, and it is perfect for a large number of troops to set up an ambush here.

Originally, he also had such a plan, but now the performance of the opposite party is abnormal, and he dare not act.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

"Is there any news from the prince?"

"No news yet."

Wu Wang flicked his sleeves to signal the palace servants to leave, picked up the memorial and continued to read it carefully.

As soon as his eyes fell on the memorial, an eunuch broke in, knelt down in panic and said: "Your Majesty... something important has happened!"

"Why are you panicking?" King Wu's eyes froze.

"Prince...His Royal Highness is back..." The eunuch broke out in cold sweat.

King Wu raised his head suddenly: "Where is the other person, let him come to see me!"

"It's just outside the hall. I don't dare to say it. Your Majesty... why don't you go and have a look?" the eunuch sobbed on the ground.

Seeing his performance, Wu Wang's heart seemed to be squeezed violently.

A sense of panic welled up in his heart, he lifted his yellow robe and ran out of the hall quickly, followed closely by the eunuch.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, he stood outside the hall with his head down, as if he had been cast with a fixing spell.

There was a dead body lying on the ground, its face was so badly decayed that only half of its face was left.

Even the clothes on his body were torn and torn.

But that half of his face was enough to make King Wu's breathing stop suddenly!

After being stunned for a long while, King Wu's face showed a look of sadness, his body swayed slightly, and he asked, "Who... who sent him back?"

The eunuch beside him replied: "The members of the Brotherhood sent His Highness here. He said that after the Dajing people entered the city, he saw His Highness's body on the street and took it away... He also picked up the Dajingren's weapon on the street. He didn't know how to use it, so he sent it to His Majesty."

Taking advantage of the chaos?

Before King Wu could think about it, the eunuch took out a flintlock gun from Li Pan's body and presented it to King Wu.

With just one glance, King Wu's gaze was captured.

Even the pain of losing a child has been reduced a bit.

This long flintlock gun has a cloth bag hanging from the end of the handle, and there is a long metal rod that can be removed under the gun barrel.

It looks sophisticated.

King Wu took the flintlock gun and sniffed it.

A familiar smell rushed into his nostrils immediately, which shocked him immediately.

Glancing at Li Pan lying on the ground, King Wu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, please settle the prince first and send him back to the bedroom."

After speaking, he walked to the backyard alone with a gun in his hand.

Now is not the time to be sad, this weapon must play a major role in Dajing's army.

Only by knowing the effect of this weapon can we plan the next strategy!

When he arrived in the backyard, King Wu was still fiddling with the flintlock gun, first he pulled the hammer and trigger twice naturally.

There was a rattling sound from the barrel of the gun.

He opened the cloth bag again, and took out a bamboo tube and a small cloth bag from it.

The bamboo tube contains gunpowder.

Inside the cloth bag are projectiles and projectile spacers.

Several things were placed in front of him, and King Wu fell into deep thinking.

This weapon, judging by the accessories, looks like a miniature cannon...but what's that rattling thing?

After thinking about it for 2 minutes, King Wu picked up the gunpowder and poured a little into the barrel, took a bullet and put it into the barrel.

The projectile fell silkily to the bottom of the barrel.

seems too loose...

Wu Wang instinctively realized that something was wrong, and poured out the bullet again, wrapped the bullet with the bullet gasket, and stuffed it tightly into the muzzle of the gun.

Seeing the wrapped projectile stuck in the muzzle of the gun, he instantly thought of the long rod under the barrel for unknown purpose.

Removed the long rod and poked the projectile hard to the bottom.

Depress the hammer, pull the trigger...

There was a bang, and a plume of blue smoke emerged from the muzzle of the gun.

King Wu suddenly realized... Sure enough, there is a scythe design in the gun, and the clicking sound is the sound of ignition.

In just 5 minutes, a person who has never seen a musket before has mastered the skills of using a flintlock!

After trying several times in a row, he has completely mastered it, and he can imagine the internal structure a little bit!

There are requirements for the charge in this weapon, neither too much nor too little.

The power is slightly inferior to bow and arrow, but it is easy to learn and requires no physical effort.

An ordinary person with this weapon can also form a reliable combat power.

This is not surprising... If Dajing's entire army is equipped with such weapons, it is equivalent to all archers, and with the God's Punishment Weapon, it is not a miracle that they can win a city in two days.

However, it is not without disadvantages, the reload is too slow, and the bow and arrow can already shoot several arrows in the same time.

"This is Dajing's confidence?" King Wu muttered while staring at the gun body, "It's indeed a clever idea, but it's not enough to turn the tide of the battle."

An army of one million, suppressed by nearly five times the force, is by no means what this weapon can make up for!

He also has a lot of archers!

"I am in a hurry to see the generals of the battalions!" King Wu shouted in a deep voice, "Immediately notify the navy, and all the fleets are dispatched to capture the holy city!"

The accompanying eunuch said in horror: "Your Majesty, is it all?"

"All! I made it very clear that all the warships in Hong Kong will be dispatched! At that time, there will be a pincer attack from inside and outside. Anyone who encounters a big scene will be killed without mercy!" King Wu was extremely angry, and the fingers holding the gun body were already turning white.

Hongfeng Basin, ambushes on their only way, besieged from all sides!Then is his best chance!

Now that you know the weapons used by Dajing, there is no need to shrink back!

Old and new grudges, one counts!
