And now, the incense stick that the strong man took out is the key.

This thing looks like incense, but it actually has a special name: Fire Tongue.

The difference between the fire tongue and the incense stick is that it has a lid. When not in use, you can close the lid and seal it.

As long as there is this cover, it is enough to ensure that the fire will not rekindle. The most important thing is that, despite this, the fire is not extinguished.

It just cuts off the air and temporarily extinguishes it. Many inventions of ancient people are practical in this way.

They don't necessarily study why the fire goes out when the lid is placed on it. They don't understand these principles, but they can make objects that can achieve the same purpose through repeated trials and summing up experience.

Fire Tongue is one of them.

The flame can be temporarily extinguished by closing the lid. When you want to use it, open it gently and blow on it gently, and the flame will quickly reignite. The whole process does not take more than half a minute.

This is measured using modern time. If we use the ancient time measurement method, it is roughly equivalent to a few fingertips!

Absolutely fast and absolutely practical, especially on the battlefield.

Right in front of Sima Shangzhi, the strong man calmly performed this series of operations. His movements were very skillful, and everything he did amazed Brother Shangzhi.

What are these weird things?

Why can the flame be controlled in such a small object and be ignited again at any time?

What magical method was used?

Sima Shangzhi wanted to ask questions, he wanted to understand all this, but now, he remained silent.

The strong man was obviously not so willing to demonstrate to him. If he was dissatisfied, the clues he had finally obtained might be lost.

Just bear with it!

Although it's temporary.

The flames have rekindled, and according to the rules on the battlefield, only a small movement is needed for the musket to be fired.

When Sima Shangzhi threw the gun to the strong man, he had already checked it. Yes, although there was no gunpowder, the projectiles were already loaded.

So, it can be said that everything is ready now.

All it takes is one action!

That’s right!

Just an action!

At least you can take Sima Shangzhi's life directly!

This distance, this position, no problem, they are all within range!

The knife is still placed on the neck of his companion. Just like the strong man, he only needs a small movement and his soul can return to the loess.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as Sima Shangzhi is killed, the revenge of Jingkou will be avenged, and this shot will be worth it!

"All right!"

"Come on now!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

Sima Shangzhi rubbed his hands with great anticipation. He seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, how does a weapon like a musket work?

In other words, how to make the musket hit the target?

There should be a goal!

Even for archery, there should be a target. Otherwise, where would the soldiers shoot?

However, now, many people are gathering in the courtyard. Although the place is relatively large, the places where people stand are relatively sparse.

If a shot is really fired at this place, it can be said that not everyone will be affected. However, as the commander, Sima Shangzhi, since you want the enemy soldiers to demonstrate the use of weapons, you should designate a target.

However, it is obvious that Sima Shangzhi has no such plan. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't care at all.

As for the virtues of the Sima family, everyone should have already made a prediction.

Of course, the more chaotic the situation, the better. They don’t care about the order in Jingkou. If they want to seize Jiankang, how should they plan their next move!

Those complicated things have never been considered or entered into my mind.

"With one shot, you can live, and your brother can live too. Join our rebel army, and everything will be wiped out."

"Isn't that wonderful?"

"Tell me how to make it again. You are the leader. I will let you be the leader of the team!"

"How about it?"

Seeing that the strong man still didn't take action, Sima Shangzhi became a little impatient and quickly promised some conditions.

I think I am quite generous.

But I didn't expect that the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

The strong man finally raised his gun, and the plot reached the most critical moment, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Unfortunately, at this moment, no one, mainly on Sima Shangzhi's side, realized how dangerous it was to shoot a gun in this spacious courtyard!

As soon as a gunshot is fired, the number of people affected will definitely increase rapidly, and few people will be spared.

"You want me to perform for you?"

"Who are you?"

"Still want to steal the method of making muskets?"

"I'm telling you, even if I die, I won't reveal a word!"

"you!"

"you!"

"I have known for a long time that you would not obey your orders willingly!"

"Kill him for me!"

"kill him!"

Sima Shangzhi jumped up, and at the same time, a loud bang sounded instantly in the huge hall.

Suddenly, dust was scattered, smoke was steaming, and a huge sound, accompanied by yellow mist and the impact of gunpowder, swept across the entire courtyard.

In the yellow mist, the strong man raised his gun, but it was not pointed at any target, but aimed at his own head!

If you take this shot, your life will be gone!

The projectiles pushed out by the gunpowder went straight towards the strong man's head. That was real gunpowder!

Those are real solid projectiles!

Just one shot!

Just a small shot can penetrate a person's skull!

With a bang, people fell down one after another, affected by the huge sound, and covered by yellow mist. At first, people were deceived by these illusions.

I was so panicked that I didn’t know what to do except run for my life!

Even the soldier who was holding his companion put down his sword and ran away. The companion broke free from the suppression and rushed to the front.

The yellow mist gradually dissipated, and he finally saw the strong man.

He was lying on his back, still holding the musket in his hand. The musket was still emitting smoke, but this time, it was not the enemy's life that it took away!

"ah!"

"ah!"

What he saw in front of him was beyond the expectations of his companions. The strong man's originally heroic face was completely distorted, and the projectiles entrained with gunpowder hit his head at close range.

The entire hole was penetrated, and most of the face was collapsed.

Even the hand holding the musket was blackened and scorched by the powerful recoil!

That face was ferocious and terrifying.

The death scene was extremely tragic.

Soon after the sound, the yellow mist dissipated. The frightened soldiers gradually regained their consciousness, and some crawled out from the corners.

Some of them went back and forth, carefully running back from the outside.

General Sima Shangzhi was different, he came out from behind the screen!

right!

General, he can still stand!

He can still walk. You see, he is indeed a general! He is just extraordinary!

It's not on the same level as us at all!

When Sima Shangzhi dared to come out, both the smoke and the loud noise were gone, and his eyes were clear.

Everything can be seen clearly.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"died!"
