Hearing all the bandits shouting, "The leader of the village is mighty," Wang Da hurried to the gate of the village, said something to a few bandits, and then came back happily, with a look of great satisfaction on his face.
Zhang Yangquan listened carefully and found that the shouts of killing had disappeared, and the bandits had also come down from the wall of the village, and asked hurriedly: "Have the officers and soldiers retreated?"
Wang Da grinned and said: "Miao Daheng's deputy was shot to death by an arrow from our village leader. These turtles were so frightened that they all rolled down the mountain in piss!"
Zhang Yangquan asked again: "How many officers and soldiers came?"
"Seven to eight hundred, but with the leader of the village here, it's useless no matter how many people come!" Wang Da replied proudly.
Zhang Yangquan glanced into the distance, and saw the leader of the village with a solemn face instructing the bandits to treat the wounded and collect arrows. He knew that the situation was not as optimistic as Wang Da thought.
Although the terrain here is steep, if there are only these 100 people in the village, they will be killed by the officers and soldiers sooner or later!
The bandits can't make arrows, so they won't have much inventory. Fire blunderbuss are fine. If they use stone bullets, there should be a lot of them on the mountain...I don't know if there is enough gunpowder.
The biggest problem is food!
The little girl wanted to eat herself before, and I'm afraid there isn't much food left in the village. If the officers and soldiers guard the road down the mountain, they can starve the bandits to death!
Zhang Yangquan sighed.
My current situation is like a shrimp about to be swallowed by a small fish. Behind the small fish, there is a big fish with its bloody mouth open.
When he was thinking about how to protect himself, there was a "squeak" sound, the village door was opened, and the second village master led a group of people out.
After a while, the bandits dragged back a pile of corpses. They were all wearing green clothes and round helmets with hats on their heads. They were expected to be Yuan soldiers.
Zhang Yangquan's face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that the bandits had the intention of dragging back the body. Even if they didn't kill him later, they would have to eat human flesh like them...
Thinking of this, I felt sick in my stomach.
"Little sister, why did you drag these corpses of Yuan soldiers back?"
The voice of the Dazhai Master suddenly sounded. Zhang Yangquan looked up and saw the Dazhai Master standing in front of the Second Village Master, with a stern look on his face, implying a rebuke.
"Sister, we don't have much food in the village anymore, so..."
"So you just want everyone to eat human flesh?" the leader of the village scolded.
Zhang Yangquan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, this domineering and decisive leader of the village was opposed to cannibalism!
"What does it matter? People in Qingyi Village still eat human flesh!" The second village leader lowered his head and defended.
"Compared with Zhang Mingjian, a pig like a dog? Have you forgotten the teachings of our father and Uncle Chen? When you die, I will see how shameless you are to see your father!"
The second village leader's eyes were red after being scolded, and he said unconvinced: "Are you just going to watch everyone starve to death?"
Seeing her expression, the leader of Dazhai softened his heart and said softly: "Little sister, everyone is destined to die. Instead of cannibalizing people and surviving, it is better to fight to the death with the enemy!"
"Well said, the leader of Dazhai is worthy of being a hero among women!" Zhang Yangquan flattered him from a distance.
The leader of the second village turned to glare at him, and Xuan'er sternly said to his men: "If you don't throw all the corpses down the mountain, don't forget to take off all your clothes!"
At this time, because of Zhang Yangquan's voice, the leader of the village remembered his existence and slowly walked over.
"I'll give you a chance to say three sentences. If you can't prove your identity, go and accompany the corpses of those Yuan thieves!" She said coldly.
Zhang Yangquan did not panic at all, and said leisurely: "I have no way to prove my identity, but! If the leader of the village wants to know how to make the fire cannon shoot more accurately, I can try my best!"
The leader of the village raised his eyebrows: "Can you make the fire cannon shoot more accurately?"
"Not bad!"
The leader of the village did not say anything more and untied Zhang Yangquan's rope.
After Zhang Yangquan regained his freedom, he immediately hugged the backpack at his feet tightly. The leader of Dazhai saw it and took another look at the backpack. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
She led Zhang Yangquan up to the wall of the village, stood beside a fire gun, folded her arms and said, "Shoot one shot and let me see!"
The leader of the second village also followed him, looked at him sideways, and threatened: "If you don't shoot accurately, you should know what will happen!"
Zhang Yangquan was a little speechless. The two girls obviously misunderstood his words and regarded him as an artillery master. They hurriedly explained: "What I mean is that the firecrackers can be improved so that everyone can shoot more accurately!"
The leader of Dazhai frowned: "The Yuan thieves may attack at any time, how can I have time to improve you?"
"The improvement method I have proposed is very simple and it won't take long!" Zhang Yangquan looked at Huo Gun's smooth body and said confidently.
Each of these two fire guns is placed on a concave wooden frame. They look like enlarged flashlights. The barrels of the guns are less than three feet away. The medicine chamber bulges outward like a lantern, and there is a trumpet-shaped tail at the back. p>
The most critical point is that there is no rear sight or front sight!
The leader of the big village stared at him suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it. The leader of the second village rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sister, let him try it. If he dares to deceive us, we will chop off his limbs and kill him."
Put it into a gun barrel and shoot it out for fun!"
Zhang Yangquan's scalp felt numb for a while. The leader of the first village looked fierce, but he still had some principles. The leader of the second village smiled sweetly, but she was a little witch!
The leader of the village finally nodded: "Little sister, you cooperate with him to improve the fire gun, and I will take people down to investigate the Yuan thief's movements!"
The village gate was opened again, and the village leader left with a dozen people.
The red sun is setting in the west, and it is approaching dusk. Standing on the wall of the village and looking far into the distance, the view is broad and refreshing.
"Hey, why are you dazed? Hurry up and get to work!" The second village leader scolded from the side.
"My name is Zhang Yangquan, not Hey!"
After Zhang Yangquan got away from the knife edge, he felt much calmer and asked casually: "You have glue here, ah, no, is there any paste? Go get me some... By the way, get another board and an awl!"
”
Seeing his very professional appearance, the leader of the second village said with a smile: "Yes, Master Zhang! The slave family will get it for you right now. Don't let the slave family down!"
……
Half an hour later, the second village leader watched Zhang Yangquan tinkering with the fire gun, his eyes slowly widening like an owl!
"Hey! Zhang Yangquan, is this the improvement you are talking about?" The little girl put her hands on her hips and looked extremely unkind.
All the bandits also stared at the "improved" fire gun, and their eyes widened... I saw a wooden stick standing on the tail of the fire gun, about one finger long and the width of a fingernail.
The top of the wooden bar was rounded and a small round hole was dug.
The muzzle is even simpler, just a wooden stick erected, also one finger long, with a sharpened top.
"Second Village Master, I think this guy is a liar, kill him!" Wang Da said viciously.
Zhang Yangquan said: "If you don't believe it, how about letting me shoot a blunderbuss?"
"Wang Da, fill it with stone bombs and gunpowder, let him try it!" The second village leader said through gritted silver teeth.
The so-called stone bullet is just an irregular stone, simply rounded, and it is not airtight at all. Coupled with the power of gunpowder in this era, it cannot shoot very far.
However, the cottage is located at a high altitude, and there is a gravity bonus when shooting. Coupled with the steep terrain, it can indeed play a good role.
After Wang Da loaded the stone bullets and gunpowder, Zhang Yangquan took aim with the rear sight and front sight, and asked the second village leader: "Aren't you going to set up a target?"
The leader of the second village smiled, held on to the wooden railing and said, "Oh, do you think this is bow and arrow shooting? Do you still want to shoot a target?"
The other bandits all laughed, but King Shu laughed the most happily.
"Then how can you prove that I can shoot accurately?" Zhang Yangquan asked unmoved.
The leader of the second village said with a smile: "As long as you can shoot on the mountain road, then you're good!"
I bet they had shot directly into the valleys and cliffs before... Zhang Yangquan rolled his eyes, I really don't know how they managed to hold on just now.
Aim at the center of the mountain road and light the fuse yourself.
With a "boom", the stone bullet flew away! It landed accurately on the narrow mountain road, leaving a small crater on the ground, and then rolled forward for a while before rolling off the cliff!
Including the second village leader, all the bandits were stunned, with their mouths wide open!
What's going on? Even Ah Liu, the former top gunslinger, rarely shoots so accurately, okay?!
