The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Ye Tianlong tried to swing the eyebrow-point knife at a small tree as thick as an arm, and it was easily cut off with a swish, and the cut was extremely smooth. This wood is much stronger than a human arm, and it can be cut so easily. Cutting off a tree trunk would prove that this knife can easily cut off a person's arm or even body.

Finally, Ye Tianlong took out the flintlock rifle and found that the damage of this thing was as high as [-] points, and it also had additional attributes that increased the shield.

It was a pity that the gunpowder prepared by Murong Jie was not good enough. Ye Tianlong fired a shot and found that the noise and smoke emitted by the thing was not small, but the power was not good. The lead bullet stuffed into the barrel only fired It landed more than ten meters away.

So Ye Tianlong had to prepare some ammunition for the flintlock rifle by himself. Unlike cold weapons, the Xinghan Empire had relatively strict controls on various thermal weapons, so in order to keep it secret, Ye Tianlong did not let Jiang You help him this time. Purchase supplies for making ammunition.

After Ye Tianlong went out, he thought about it on the way and decided to get some black powder to try first. After all, the flintlock gun was a prop made by Murong Jie. If modern explosives were used, it would be too powerful and might explode.

As for black powder, its raw materials can be easily purchased, but you can't buy too much. A few years ago, he heard that a military enthusiast was invited to the Yamen for tea because he bought too many raw materials for making gunpowder. .

For safety reasons, Ye Tianlong only purchased dozens of kilograms of raw materials for black powder. Then he bought an electronic scale, several large packages of steel balls, and some cardboard cases.

While Ye Tianlong was shopping outside, Zhang Dana was applying medicine to himself with the help of security captain Zhuang Shitou.

Compared with the triumph not long ago, the big boss now can be said to be in a very depressed state, because the county magistrate Kong Xianfu kept his promise and not only took away all the money in his account, but also his car and house They were all taken away and entered into the auction process. The factory was also sealed and will be transferred to other factory owners.

Under this series of changes, Zhang Dana's wife Xu Xiaoli also ran away with all the cash left in the family.

So Zhang Dana can only temporarily live in a very dilapidated small hotel to recuperate with the support of the loyal security captain Zhuang Shitou.

However, in Zhuang Shitou's view, although his boss is still alive, his heart seems to be half dead. His whole person looks lifeless. Except for moving with him a few times every day when changing dressings, he is usually like a corpse. Usually lying in bed motionless.

In order to cheer him up, Zhuang Shitou found a way to contact his boss's father, Zhang Quanna.

As Zhang Dana's father, Zhang Quanna was even more domineering and vicious. Back then, he even formed a black gang with hundreds of people, bullying men, dominating women, and committing all kinds of extortion.

But it happened that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was very good at fighting. Therefore, during the years when the public security in the Xinghan Empire was the most chaotic, he was able to get along like a duck in water. It was not until later that the senior officials of the Xinghan Empire could not stand the chaos at the bottom and began to crack down hard. Zhang Quan Na just started to stop and clear his name. Now he has moved to the next county and opened a martial arts gym, transforming himself into a highly respected martial arts senior.

Today, after Zhuang Shitou gave Zhang Dana the medicine, Zhang Quanna also arrived here. Although he is nearly sixty years old, because he has been practicing martial arts since childhood, Zhang Quanna's blood is still very strong. The muscles all over his body are bulging, coupled with his height of about [-] meters and a full beard, he looks like a ferocious lion king. Most people don't even dare to look at him.

After Zhang Quanna entered the door, he was very angry when he saw his son's dead dog look.

"I've told you a long time ago that those dog officials are not trustworthy. If they can be bribed by you with money today, they will naturally be bribed by others with money tomorrow. You must have suffered a lot this time!" Zhang Quan said with hatred. Tie Bu Gang taught his son a lesson, while lifting up the other person's clothes and looking at the other person's back full of scars, a look of heartache appeared in his eyes.

"That dog officer Kong Xianfu actually dealt such a harsh blow to you. I will take people to kill him tonight!"

Hearing that his father said that he was going to kill the county magistrate, Zhang Dana finally had some movement. He struggled to get up, grabbed his father's arm, and persuaded him: "Dad, things are no longer what they used to be. If I kill him, Officer, our whole family must die!"

Zhang Quanna also knew that what his son said was true, otherwise he wouldn't have had to work hard to clear his name and open a martial arts school, but his son was beaten like this, and he had to feel the bad breath in his heart.

So after a moment of silence, the old lion replied: "Okay! The life of that bitch Kong Xianfu will be spared first, but that boy Ye Tianlong must die! Otherwise, everyone else will think that our Zhang family Now you are a soft persimmon who can be bullied by anyone!"

Hearing that his father changed his mind and said that he was going to kill Ye Tianlong, Zhang Dana finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Tianlong was an orphan with no power and no relatives. If he was killed, no one would care, but it was okay. To vent his anger on his father. In addition, this can be regarded as revenge for him. After all, it can be said that this incident was all caused by Ye Tianlong.

On the other side, after Ye Tianlong bought back a lot of things, he began to prepare black gunpowder. The best ratio of this stuff can be found by searching online, and Ye Tianlong mixed it according to this ratio.

After preparing the black powder, Ye Tianlong began to cut the cardboard shells into cylindrical shapes. This is a method of custom-loading paper shells that Ye Tianlong had seen on the Internet before. You can prepare the ammunition and powder in advance. Crash into this paper tube, so that during the battle, the soldiers will not have to carefully pour the gunpowder every time they reload, and the power of the bullets will not fluctuate continuously due to the different amounts of gunpowder each time. It can greatly speed up the reloading speed of musketeers.

Since he didn't know how much gunpowder was most suitable for the flintlock musket made by Murong Jie, Ye Tianlong made several custom-loaded paper shells with different powder charges. In addition to gunpowder, these paper shells also contain several steel balls.

Because he knew that the accuracy of the flintlock rifle was not very good, Ye Tianlong's method of choice was to load a single-head bullet and five or six smaller shotguns into the paper shell bullets. The single-head bullet was a steel ball with a diameter of about fifteen millimeters, while the shotguns were small steel balls with a diameter of only about four millimeters.

After making seven paper shell fixed-loading bullets, Ye Tianlong came to the world of riding and slashing games and loaded the seven bullets one by one into the flintlock gun for test firing.

Some of them are too weak, and some are too powerful. The recoil made Ye Tianlong's palms feel a little numb. However, this seamless steel pipe made with modern technology is indeed strong, even if it is the one with the largest amount of explosives. The case-loaded ammunition also failed to cause any damage to its barrel. In the end, Ye Tianlong finally found a more suitable charge amount after trying several times.

With this charge, the effective range of this flintlock rifle is about a hundred meters. Beyond a hundred meters, the power will drop sharply, and it can only hit unarmored targets at most.

Within a hundred meters, it can penetrate defenses such as leather armor and cloth armor. Within fifty meters, even the chain armor captured from pirates can be penetrated.

In addition, the wooden shields such as the Germanic shields used by the pirates can be easily penetrated within fifty meters, but their accuracy is really worrying, if Ye Tianlong hadn't loaded some more shotguns into them to improve the hit rate. , Ye Tianlong felt that even if he fired ten shots, he might not be able to hit even one.

After making thirty rounds of flintlock ammunition and carrying them with him, Ye Tianlong took the goods he had selected and slowly approached the town of Odasan, fully armed.

Just when Ye Tianlong was approaching less than ten meters away from the city gate, a soldier wearing leather armor, equipped with a one-handed ax and a log shield stepped forward and shouted at the obviously unfamiliar young man: "Who is this person?" ?Where did it come from?”

Facing the defender's shouts, Ye Tianlong, who was well prepared, replied calmly: "I am a merchant from the Seris Empire. I have long heard that the commerce in Calradia is prosperous, so I brought a group of merchants with me. The goods have traveled across the ocean, and I want to try my luck here.”

While speaking, Ye Tianlong had quietly put a few silver coins into the soldier's hands.

The soldier lowered his head and took a look and found that although the style of these silver coins was very different from those on the Calradia continent, they were exquisitely made. Both the front and back sides were engraved with extremely exquisite patterns. They looked as beautiful as works of art. So the soldier immediately stuffed it into his pocket with joy, and then reminded Ye Tianlong: "Serys Empire? I haven't heard of it! But as soon as I saw you, you are a good person. We are even foreigners here. You can also do business, but most of the people in this town are poor, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to sell much of your goods!”

"The Seris Empire is located on another continent thousands of miles away. It's normal that this eldest brother has never heard of it. As for how much of this product can be sold, it all depends on luck. If it doesn't work, I can only Let’s go check out other places!”

After chatting with the soldier for a few words, Ye Tianlong finally entered the town smoothly, and then he smelled a very strange odor, which made Ye Tianlong so sick that he almost vomited out his breakfast. .

Ye Tianlong looked carefully and found that human and animal excrement could be seen everywhere on the ground in this town. Under the constant trampling of pedestrians, these excrement mixed with the soil to form black mud, exuding The strong stench attracted a large number of flies and other flying insects to hover above.

The people in this small town seem to have long been accustomed to this smell, and everyone in it has a normal expression, without any discomfort.
