When flame gun formed a formation, the two wings of samurai supported each other. This era where the online chamber gun did not appear would always be the mainstream of war. Right now, Luo Huo's flame gun Formation was the backbone of the firepower output, and the two flanks of the Taibai Top's bandit and the others were the strong shield of the flame gun Formation. Anyone who dared to slip through the net and sneak attack them would be mercilessly killed.
This tactic was not something that Xiao Letian could blindly think of, it was the quintessence of all the battle formations in the history of the Western musket. The square matrix of the Spain used pike soldiers as its flank, while epoch Na Polun used Artillery s as his super ranged attacks and Dragon Cavalry as his guards.
Even in the war between the USA and the North, Musketeers still needed the cavalry and the Dispersion as cover. However, Chinese goblin was Chinese goblin, and they were not as extravagant as Xiao Letian. Ten Musketeers were actually matched with more than a hundred green wood elites as guards, how could this combat power not be high?
The Heavenly Kingdom Army of the Taibai Top was mainly made up of the North Guard s, and the North Guard was an elite amongst the elites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to send over twenty thousand troops all the way to Tianjin. And Soldiers, who made up this unit, had the background of a lot of Green Forest people in the south.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Letian, this Military Advisor, led a luxurious Army that was completely composed of Green Forest people. These people were not Xiang Shaolong's match in a one on one fight, but a group of Green Forest Heroes had learned how to coordinate with the Army, so even ten of Xiang Shaolong wouldn't be his match.
"Luo Huo, did you find Mr. Xiao?" Xiao Hexin asked nervously.
"No, but the back door of the thatched cottage is open …" Luo Huo looked into the valleys with a torch in hand.
"Chase after him! As long as you get close to mister, mister will definitely signal you!" With that, Xiao Hexin was the first to jump down from the valleys. Soon, the entire valleys was lit up by torches, over a hundred people started to search around the valleys like a long dragon.
"Wang Huaiyuan, arrest those injured Enemy and treat them …" These are our hostages! " From the valleys came Xiao Hexin's roar.
At this time, Xiao Letian had already seen the light behind him. After listening carefully for a long time to the familiar sound of the bird gun being shot at him, he subconsciously wanted to take out the xanthophosphorus's flame, but then he thought about it, who knows how many Enemy's flames were hidden in the surrounding darkness.
Thinking about this, he said to tiger chick in a low voice, "Don't bother with them. Let's continue walking down the mountain. Don't make any noise." After walking for who knows how long, the two of them suddenly noticed that there were sounds of plants swaying behind them. Xiao Letian quickly pulled tiger chick and hid her in the bushes at the side.
But before they could hide properly, suddenly, a cold and hard thing was pressed against Xiao Letian's waist. "Mr. Xiao, we meet again. This is your handgun, you know its power better than I do." The one who spoke was Xiang Shaolong.
Damn it, Xiao Letian cursed in his heart. I didn't expect this guy's legs to be so fast. Dragon Lord, what is it that we can't discuss? What deep hatred and hatred do you and I have for chasing each other like this? Who exactly hired you? No matter how much it costs, I'll pay you a double, right? "
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly, "Don't play with me anymore, you want to buy time for underhand to save you?" "Keep dreaming, retreat with me right now, hurry up …"
Under the threat of the handgun, Xiao Letian and tiger chick slowly retreated. Borrowing the weak starlight, the two of them were surprised to find a cave behind the bush. When the three of them entered the cave, Wu Tie used the weeds to block the cave entrance. The black muzzle of the gun threatened Xiao Letian, so the three of them didn't dare to make a sound.
Not long after, the crackling sound of flame gun could be heard from afar along with the sounds of weapons clashing. "Capture him alive, capture him …" It was Sima Yun, who was leading Brothers to surround the Xiang Jia Village's Sun Steel Soldiers.
Xiao Letian clearly felt that Xiang Shaolong was trembling. Perhaps this Northern Jianghu tycoon had never experienced such humiliation in his life before.
Not long after, the light from the torch started to flicker at the entrance of the cave. The three of them saw with their own eyes that the two Xiang Jia Village's Disciple were tied up like pigs and carried away on a wooden stick. Sima Yun looked around left and right, but did not see any openings at all. He brought his men and rushed towards the depths of valleys.
After a full half an hour, the outside of the cave finally quietened down. At this time, Xiao Letian asked in a low voice, "Dragon Lord …" "As you can see, those are your apprentices and grandchildren. The children of the martial arts world, Disciple, are all your businesses. It's not easy to amass so much money, so why do you have to go through so much trouble …"
"As I expected, the person who saved me has already started to head towards the Xiang Jia Village. To tell you the truth, in exchange for my life, they will definitely use your kinsman as an exchange …"
"Shut up! You, two evil spirits who wrote the Evil Scripture, I killed you on behalf of the heavens! " Dragon Lord's forehead was already sweating, but he was still stubborn. At that time, Xiao Letian was extremely angry, thinking that this Daqing Country was really beyond saving. Everyone from top to bottom had already been brainwashed by the feudal idea, how could they not understand?
Hehe, Xiao Letian sneered and said, "That is to say, Dragon Lord has also seen my clumsy work?" It seems you think he's some sort of strange book like Journey to the West and the Divine Seal Decree? "He's really hopeless, using lies as logic, and he's even able to reason with me. Pah …"
All of you do not believe that the earth is round, and all of you do not understand what is going on with the Western Technology. All of you do not understand how the ships of the foreign nationals could sail thousands of miles deep into the Daqing to defend against all kinds of injuries, and all of you do not understand why the flame gun s of the foreign nationals are so powerful, to be able to kill people without them noticing …
"While you guys were under the threat of Force, you had no choice but to admit that the Speargun was powerful, but when you turned around, you refused to acknowledge the Westerners' knowledge of the natural sciences. "You bunch of Idiot who covered your ears, you bunch of contradicting idiots, and you are even a bunch of cowards who do not dare to admit to reality …"
"Shut up!" Dragon Lord's arm, which was not injured, shot out like lightning and fiercely pinched Xiao Letian's throat. He had already been driven mad by Xiao Letian's words.
"You dare to call me a coward? Laozi left home at the age of six to take on a master as his disciple. Until now, he has killed countless evildoers, and he has even killed the thief officials. Do you dare to call me a coward? "
Xiao Letian's face turned red. "You …" If you don't allow others to speak, then … "He's just a coward. You might not be able to win against me …" Wu Tie was so angry that his hand loosened up. "Speak, I'll let you speak. Let me see what kind of logic you can come up with."
Cough cough cough, Xiao Letian violently coughed for a while, then gasped for breath, "Only by practicing, you know, you've read my book before. westerner Magellan has proven with his own practice that the earth is a sphere, why did he come back to the starting point all the way west?" "This is already clear evidence …"
"I know what you're going to say. Didn't you want to say that I was lying? Then when I told you that the foreigners that attacked the Northern Capital City four years ago, some of them circled the Earth, do you believe me? "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the foreigners. I can even take you to a ship myself."
It was like Xiao Letian was telling a story to a scholar who had just awakened. He kept explaining the simple knowledge of natural sciences. He didn't dare to explain it too deeply, because it was already hard for the ancients to understand it just by talking about the earth circle.
In fact, in the process of gradually learning in the West, China's Popular required a certain amount of time to accept new things. Humans were creatures who loved old times and refused to change, many older people, no matter what you said, would never accept new things. For example, Wang Shizheng and those corrupt people, once they accepted the new knowledge, would prove themselves wrong.
And admitting fault is always painful, even if they are self-deceiving, anyway they are unwilling to go through the process of self-denial, because it is too painful.
Fortunately, Xiang Shaolong was not an old, pedantic person. He was thirty years old and had the courage to accept some new things, such as The Journey to the West . The order issued by Liu Shuang who hired him was to kill Xiao Letian immediately and turn this case into a miracle case. However, it was because Xiang Shaolong had read the Journey to the West book that he became interested in its contents and did not want to kill them.
And this year, when he heard Xiao Letian personally explain to him the knowledge of natural sciences, his heart felt like it was being broken.
That's right, what two evil spirits said made sense. If this world's Sage was all right, then why would the foreigners produce such powerful cannons that even Sage had never seen before? Sage was so powerful, why was Chinese unable to beat Westerners again and again?
Therefore, the core of thinking is to admit that Sage is not omnipotent. Heavens, it was as if Dragon Lord's entire spiritual world collapsed at that moment. Making the epoch admit that Sage wasn't omnipotent was worse than killing him.
In the end, Xiao Letian took out his last trump card and ruthlessly smashed it onto Xiang Shaolong, "Four years ago, when the English and French burned the Yuan Ming Yuan to death, do you know how many silver that the Daqing spent before finally succeeding? "It's a total of eight million …"
"You know, the Russians in the north, also known as the Rakshasi, just dispatched their Cossack cavalry to slightly threaten the Daqing Dynasty and the Coalition forces. It was over a million square kilometers! "My good Dragon Lord, do you know how big that place is?"
At that time, Xiang Shaolong seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his eyes were unfocused, "You, you, you …" two evil spirits, you came here to lie again, did you think that the Daqing is lacking five direct spirits? How come we don't know? "
Fuck, what era was that? Why would Government Qing tell people about such a shameful thing? You don't even have time to hide your ass. As for the Han people, book reader was even more uninterested, they thought that it was the territory of the Manchu that sold them, and it had nothing to do with the Han people.
This was the period when the concept of the late Qing had yet to even take shape. However, without the Country concept, it did not mean that Popular was unpatriotic. Yue Fei's story was sung from generation to generation, and all Chinese knew that losing his country was wrong. This was Chinese's most honest value.
Xiang Shaolong grabbed Xiao Letian's arm, "Are you lying to me? Are you lying to me? "
Wu Tie's face sank. "I swear on my ancestors that these things are all true, and I came back to the Home Country to tell us Chinese, how did the foreigners get stronger, and how should we chase after them. If we don't work hard now, in the future, we will cut off our territory and compensate for it. The foreign Army s will never stop usurping our Beijing … "
Xiang Shaolong didn't say anything as he returned the revolver back to Xiao Letian's arms and said, "You two go, I'll let you go." But let me tell you, if you are lying to me today, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go! "
At that moment, Xiao Letian was moved. He even thought about whether he should print a big newspaper or not. I think we should just write down the details of the Treaty of Beijing, the Treaty of Encounter between China and Russia in vernacular and then stick them all over the countryside.
Yeah, let's just forget about it for now. If he continued like this, the whole world would fall into chaos. If things got chaotic at this time, the one who would be at a disadvantage would always be the China.
