Chapter 929 The Greatest Invention
Chapter 929 The Greatest Invention
Nangong Yan shouted, "Shut up! The war is coming, cheer up, don't be distracted when fighting for your country and your family. Only after winning this battle can we talk about other things."
Everyone fell silent, and the only sound was the crackling of raindrops hitting armor.
After several days of city defense battles, everyone realized how powerful the pirates were and became extremely nervous.
If the pirates were not sure of their chance, why would they launch an attack in such a dark and awful night?
It was obvious that they had a way to break the city, so they ignored everything else and attacked the city brazenly.
Nangong Yan turned his head and glanced into the distance.
"How's the situation?"
A soldier shouted back from a distance: "General, we haven't heard anything yet."
Nangong Yan prayed in his heart that the people he sent out had seen Lin Feng, and that Lin Feng was on the way.
My own parents, my own wife and children...
In short, Nangong Yan's mind was in a mess.
In the past, the capital city of Jingnan relied on the Yuquan Temple and was not harassed by any army, so it had a smooth journey.
Who knew that the current battle situation would make the 5,000 government troops clearly understand the cruelty of war and what they should do in their daily lives as soldiers.
When it comes to the time of battle, your wrists will be sore from holding the knife, and you will pull the bow hard for a long time, and after shooting two arrows, you will never be able to pull the bow to full length again.
When they saw a comrade whose neck was bitten by the pirates' teeth, a group of government soldiers vomited for a long time.
By this time, everyone was wondering how the strong became strong.
How the Zhenxi Army led by Lin Feng swept across most of the country, defeated fierce opponents one after another, and became a legend.
Just when they were so nervous that their heads were numb and their hands and feet were cold.
Someone shouted loudly.
"Hey, the pirates have retreated, the pirates have retreated..."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Really, really, look at that light, is it a torch?"
Everyone stood up, stretched their necks, and looked into the darkness.
The heavy rain had turned into a light rain at some point. In the distance below the city, there was a streak of fire winding across the wilderness.
But it is getting farther and farther away from the capital city of Jingnan.
It was obvious that the pirate group was leaving the military camp under the city.
Nangong Yan felt dizzy, as if he was still in a dream.
With his many years of military experience, the pirates only need to make a few more charges like they did yesterday.
The city of Jingnan Prefecture can be broken.
Why did they withdraw suddenly?
After a brief moment of confusion, Nangong Yan shouted loudly.
"Cavalry Battalion, leave the city to investigate the enemy situation, immediately."
It didn't take long before the cavalrymen from the cavalry camp rushed back from outside the city.
The pirate camp was empty, and more than 10,000 pirates were nowhere to be found.
There was no trace of the enemy within dozens of miles.
Nangong Yan did not relax and kept the soldiers at their posts until dawn and fog everywhere.
The pirates really withdrew, and there was cheering from both inside and outside the city.
After confirming the news, Nangong Yan insisted on not asking the guards to support him and walked down the city wall step by step by himself.
He waved his hand and asked the guard to find a carriage, and then he climbed into the carriage.
He knew he couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't make a fool of himself in front of the team.
However, after he climbed into the carriage, he barely managed to get his legs and feet into the compartment and then fell asleep.
After a long period of extreme tension, people cannot hold on for even a moment when their minds relax.
Lin Feng was also very excited and had not slept much for two nights.
He was accompanying several craftsmen, hand-polishing the parts of the revolver, ensuring that the data was rigorous and the dimensions were standard.
Lin Feng was not unconfident about the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the accuracy of parts processing, but he was experimenting with a more advanced weapons technology.
Rifled barrel.
If you want to produce a rifle with independent bullets to increase the range and accuracy, you need to score rifling inside the barrel.
This is a great invention. Fortunately, Lin Feng knew about it.
He used a piece of four-sided hard steel, quenched it, twisted it into a certain arc, and began to carve rifling into the barrel.
This method is quite crude, but it is very effective, it just takes some effort.
Three days later, in the era of Dazhong, the first rifled barrel was born.
The next step was easy, as the other parts were all available, and the first single-shot lead bullet was also produced.
The barrel is three feet long, with an effective range of two hundred steps and a most accurate strike range of one hundred steps.
Lin Feng conducted an experiment and found that at a distance of 130 steps, his lead bullet gun could break a pig's leg.
Looking at the rifle in his hand, Lin Feng licked his dry lips.
A very cruel weapon in history has been produced.
In this world, there will be no more army that can fight against the Zhenxi Army.
The problem of the army's combat effectiveness was solved first, but his personal problem, Lin Feng, had not been figured out yet.
His revolver still uses a smoothbore barrel and the bullets are still shotgun.
This is because his opponents are all masters of hermit sects who are good at moving around. They can only attack at close range, which requires shooting speed and does not require aiming. Shotgun is the best way to attack and defend.
You just need to speed up the attack and make the attack frequency more frequent. That is to say, the reel shoots six times in a row, and as long as you hit the opponent once, it will be considered a success.
Lin Feng looked at the revolver in his hand, which was glowing with a faint blue light. The barrel was only a little over half a foot long, three inches shorter than the original pistol.
The entire gun is made of steel. It feels heavy and textured when held in the hand.
The trip to Shanglin Prefecture lasted twenty-three days.
Lin Feng created the two most powerful weapons in the history of Dazhong.
He separated the manufacturing processes of several important parts, and assigned more than a dozen craftsmen to be responsible for each part. After the work was concentrated, Xi Niang selected the craftsman she trusted most to assemble the finished product.
According to previous rules, each important component would be numbered, and only one craftsman would be responsible for the production of this component, and he would be responsible for it for life from completion to use to damage.
Lin Feng understood that the main manufacturing technology of this weapon must be controlled in his own hands, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
When he came out of the workshop, Bai Jing, the general manager of the Zhenxi Army, was standing outside the door to greet him.
She is virtuous, elegant, gentle and dignified, with an aura of majesty that comes without even being angry.
Lin Feng stood on the threshold, smiling, feeling emotional.
This woman was originally of noble birth, but she followed him and rose from obscurity, suffering a lot. This kind of momentum that was integrated with many experiences was not something that ordinary people could possess.
"Brother, since you entered Shanglin City, I think you have only come out of this threshold once?"
Lin Feng walked forward and naturally put his arm around Bai Jing's waist, and the two turned and walked to the other end of the street.
"Butler Bai knows me best. He even knows exactly when I'll be leaving the house."
"You're just talking nonsense. If you go out, someone will naturally notify me. Don't you even look at where I am?"
"That makes sense. Shanglin Mansion is Chief Steward Bai's headquarters."
Bai Jing gently wiped a piece of dust off Lin Feng's cheek.
"My husband is so obsessed with it, I guess he has come up with something shocking again, right?"
