Chapter 6 - musket team, Fire

The rain of arrows, the crackling of the muskets, the shouts of battle that filled the mountains, and the flickering torches that illuminated the hideous faces. Xiao Letian finally understood how cruel war was in the era of cold weapons. Watching the steel blade decapitate a human head was an experience that no three-dimensional game could provide.

More than a hundred arrows were shot at the same time, causing the caravan to be unable to lift their heads up and their morale to be pushed to the lowest point. At this time, the camp was completely in chaos, and all the commanders had lost their effectiveness. No matter how loud the Qing San Ye shouted, at this time, no one would listen to him.

Looking at Manager Fan, this old man was really bold, he stood on the shaking incense table and loudly encouraged everyone. The reward from winning had already increased to 60,000 silver, but who would care about money at this time? His motivation was only from spending money in the water mirror.

Right now, the ones who resisted the most were Louis and Sai Men. These two cowboys didn't look like merciful missionaries anymore, they looked like they were calling out names while killing gods had their bodies, but their martial prowess simply couldn't change the situation. A hundred over bandit vanguards were already mixed up with the caravan, the Mountain Temple's front was already crowded with adults.

The most frightening thing was that the bandits actually had guns in their hands. Although it was just a few scattered muffled sounds, but when the gunshots rang out, everyone at the scene understood that this was not a bandit at all, and it was definitely a small army that was besieging them.

"What the f * ck is this war... "You bunch of trash, listen to my commands …" Xiao Letian took out a horse whip from nowhere, and used it towards the shop assistant beside him, who was trembling as she poured iron sand seed s into her mouth of the bird gun. He couldn't care about anything else. In his heart, there was only the thought of survival.

"All the Musketeers s gather towards me, damn it, this daddy will teach you how to play with guns … Fuck, you didn't even load the gunpowder and you're already stuffing the iron sand seed? "I'll beat you to death …"

Xiao Letian madly sprinted inside the Mountain Temple, dragging every single Musketeers he saw into a group. In the end, even Louis and Sai Men ran to his left and right side.

There were only ten guns in the caravan, and they were the oldest ones that fought the iron sand seed. However, in the current chaotic situation, shotgun s were actually more useful.

"Listen to my orders, load the ammunition …" Xiao Letian had never thought that he would actually be so violent. In the chaos of disorder, people would always subconsciously listen to the commands of the strong. Xiao Letian's aura was the strongest in the caravan, with his left hand and whip, yet he actually hit everyone so hard that no one dared to resist.

"Aim at the locust tree on the left …" "Put …" Wuchang roared, he felt as though his vocal cords were about to be torn apart, the ten shop assistants subconsciously shot, the ten bird spears opened fire at the same time, and the iron sand seed s pounced over like a black cloud.

On the far left side of the temple door, there were ten bandits. Never would they have thought that what welcomed them was a large group of high speed iron sand seed, and at that time, they had already been beaten into pockmarked faces. However, Xiao Letian did not have the time to appreciate the result of his battle.

"Bullet reloading, all of you reload for your father …" He hopped back and forth between the ten shop assistants, beating them if he was a little slower. Under Xiao Letian's pressure, the ten shop assistants finished packing once again with the fastest speed they could muster.

"Listen to my orders... In the direction of the right-most white stone... "Fire …"

"Listen to my orders... "Everyone reloaded …"

"Listen to my orders... "Fire right in the middle..."

"All the shop assistants and soldiers, get down, get down …"

Xiao Letian was like a madman. He used a whip and a handgun to force this temporary little musket team, to come out and shoot in a standard formation deep within the mountain range that Tongzhi had lived in for three years. In his previous life, his military buddies had said that this shooting method had a nickname, which was called lined up shooting.

Xiao Letian knew, this type of shooting method did not require a person's martial arts, nor did it require a person's shooting accuracy. The only thing it required was discipline, a uniform firing method, and the formation of a dense barrage of bullets in a small region. No martial arts expert would be able to penetrate such a barrage of bullets.

Four years ago, British and French combined forces had used this kind of fire spear formation to defeat Seng Gelinqin's Mongolian cavalry army. It was obvious that even high-speed horses would have a hard time passing through this barrage of bullets, let alone these bandits who relied on their legs.

Xiao Letian was now a living madman. His entire being was already hysterical, the only thing in front of his eyes was a white mist of gunpowder and the darkness behind him. In any case, the slope that he could reach was only ten metres wide.

"Shoot, shoot …" Everyone in front of me, if you accidentally hurt me, I wouldn't care … Fire left, load... Fire Right... " Just as he was about to shout, suddenly, two strong men from the left and one from the back pushed Xiao Letian down to the ground.

"Wake up, you're crazy with blood …" "Wake up, the enemy is retreating …" Immediately after, a bowl of cold water splashed onto Xiao Letian's face, this fellow finally regained his senses after a slight shock.

When Xiao Letian opened his eyes, he discovered that he was leaning on the doorpost of the Mountain Temple, there were a lot of heads in front of him, all of them had a grateful look in their eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for saving us from danger, please accept my respect …" When Manager Fan said this, he was about to pull back his robes and kneel down. The servants behind him were already kneeling on the ground. How could Xiao Letian make an old man who was almost seventy kneel?

"My lifespan has been shortened, are you trying to take away my lifespan …?" We are in the same boat, how can we thank you so much? "Not big …" Xiao Letian had finally woken up.

At this time, Qing San Ye walked over with an awkward expression, "Fine, you're a man enough. You actually solved this death-trap of yours. "Although I understood the method you used later on, when you thought about it at that time, I didn't expect you to be more powerful than me …" Aiya, this Baji is not bad, being able to lower her head in arrogance is really rare.

"Shaw, you're very good. I believe you've traveled in the West, and you know a lot about the army. "In such a chaotic situation, I didn't even think about forming a fire gun formation. Not only did you think about it, but you also thought of using it flexibly. You're amazing …" Louis and Sai Men shouted at him.

laughed bitterly, "Don't be so happy too early, let me see the situation now." Borrowing the light from the torch, Xiao Letian laid against the short wall, choking on the smell of blood and sneezing the moment he appeared. Good heavens! The Asura Hell was probably like this.

The open space in front of the temple was also at the edge of the gentle slope, and more than sixty corpses lay scattered around. Among them, forty of them were bandits, and the rest of the twenty or so were merchants. The blood had gathered into a small stream and was dripping down in the dark night.

Sixty people! In his previous life, that was half a company's strength and they were gone just like that. This showed just how intense the battle had been. If not for Xiao Letian temporarily organizing such a musket team, the outcome would truly be unimaginable.

"Is there anyone in old shopkeeper who has such a loud voice that is specializing in negotiation? For him to shout and talk like this, is it really alright to keep beating him up like this? " Xiao Letian had now become the military leader of the caravan, and no one dared to disobey his orders, so in a short while, he sent a black word to crawl to the side of the Pagoda tree.

"The Great Master at the foot of the mountain …" "We are a caravan of Shanxi Fan family, passing by the precious land without paying our respects is our disrespect, please forgive us …" Before he could even finish shouting, two balls of fire lit up in the darkness, followed by countless iron sand seed s hitting the leaves.

Xiao Letian felt his heart go cold when he saw this, "How can this be? You don't even want to bother negotiating? You want us to die just like that? " After saying that, he stared at old shopkeeper and Qing San Ye.

After thinking for a long time, no one could have imagined that he would be as powerful as that enemy. Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Xiao Letian could only sigh and say, "Let's stay here tonight, and see if there are any changes tomorrow …"

Xiao Letian turned his head around from the short wall, and realized that none of the people in the caravan was resting. They were all gathered in the courtyard staring at him, as if they were staring at their savior. At the broken window of the Mountain Temple, there were two little girls who were staring at him, causing Xiao Letian to feel embarrassed.

The first among the group was led by the ten Musketeers s who had contributed greatly to the competition. At this time, they had also awakened from their initial state of shock, and with their chests puffed up, they accepted Xiao Letian's inspection. Xiao Letian looked at the cut on their cotton-padded jackets and the scar on their faces.

"You all … Are you guys okay? The reason why I was a little ruthless was also to save everyone. Don't hate me … "

"I don't hate you …" Lord, you lashed our whips to help us improve. These whips are nothing at all. When we were learning craftsmanship, Master's blows were even more ruthless than this … "Adults are uncomfortable and self-conscious …"

Aiyo, Xiao Letian was blushing. Look at him, even after getting beaten up, he still took the initiative to find an excuse for me, what a good fellow, maybe after I teach them a little, they will treat me as their master. In the ancient times, people paid attention to the master of the world, but the master was no different from their own father.

"Do your job well. You must protect this gentle slope tonight. Remember the method I taught you. It was a large locust tree on the left, with a gentle slope in the middle and a white stone on the right. "You don't have to aim at people. You just aim at the reference …" After saying a few words, Wuchang patted their shoulders to show his encouragement.

The night was getting darker, the people of the caravan started to rest, Xiao Letian also slept at the back of the Mountain Temple. At the foot of the mountain, the bandits were not in the mood to rest. They had already held a meeting for more than two hours.

"Your Highness, let me give it another shot. Brothers, you can't just die in vain …" Kneeling beside the fire was a 40 year old man with a grey beard. Beside him was a three feet long steel blade.

In front of gray beard sat a thirty-three-year-old middle-aged man. He had a square face, sharp eyebrows, and an extremely tall and sturdy build. He was the one who was called "Prince" by the gray beard.

The Prince didn't say anything, he was just playing with the bronze monocle in his hand. The King raised his hand, allowing gray beard to sit at the side. "Evening, I saw that our information is not accurate, a strange young man suddenly appeared …"

"Who cares if he's weird or not, charge up and chop him in half. We want all the silver, Manchu, and foreign devils, not a single one of them can escape …" The hatred in gray beard's eyes was real, it was not the gaze of a bandit who wanted to make a fortune.

Seeing the Prince in front of him fall into silence, the impatient gray beard once again kneeled down in front of him. "Your Highness King Yi, don't hesitate, let me charge again.

With a "pa" sound, five finger marks on gray beard's face swelled up, "How many times have I told you this? My past self is already dead, dead …" "If you dare to use even a little bit of your past title, I will personally chop off your head …"
