We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 485: The First Appearance of the Rapid-Fire Gun
"Shut up!"
Li Che tightened the reins, and the warhorse under his crotch changed from galloping to cantering, and then slowly stopped.
He turned around and looked back, and saw that his spear had pierced Yelu Daha's abdomen, pinning him to the ground, his chest heaving violently.
Yelu Dahe was too old, so old that even though Li Che's martial arts skills were average among Fengtian Army generals, he could still defeat him easily.
Perhaps Li Che could not last more than ten rounds against the young Yelu Dahe, but time is merciless and the old Yelu Dahe could not even take two shots.
Li Che frowned and did not feel the pleasure of personally solving a powerful enemy.
He rode his horse to Yelu Daha's side, dismounted, half-crouched on the ground, and moved closer to Yelu Daha.
"Ho ho ho..."
Yelu Dahe was breathing with difficulty, and the sound coming from his throat was like pulling a bellows.
"Khan!" Khalhan's sad cry came from behind.
This famous Khitan general did not leave his Khan in the face of such a desperate situation and fought to the last moment.
However, Li Che didn't need to say much, Ying Bu and Hu Qiang had already attacked from the left and right, and besieged Khalhan together with Yang Zhongsi.
When Halehan saw that Yelu Daha fell off his horse and his life or death was unknown, he lost his composure.
Now he is facing the siege of three top generals, and even if he has great skills, it will be of no avail.
After blocking Ying Bu's quick sword, Hu Qiang smashed the horse's head into pieces with a stick.
The horse cried out and fell to the ground. Halehan felt his whole body sinking down. The moment he fell to the ground, Yang Zhongsi had already pressed the tip of the gun to his neck.
Li Che shook his head, no longer caring about Yelu Dahe who was only breathing his last breath, and stood up and walked to Yang Zhongsi.
"Uncle Yang, long time no see."
Yang Zhongsi nodded slightly, looking at Li Che with a very subtle look: "It's been a long time since we last met, it's been a year."
A year ago, he entrusted the Huan Guo army to Li Che.
Originally, he thought that Li Che was a man of loyalty and a vassal king who treated his subordinates well, and he wanted to give his old brothers a place to settle down.
However, they did not expect that the Fengtian Army would win victory after victory in the past year and become more and more famous.
The soldiers of the Huan army had only been with Li Che for a year, but the contributions they had made were greater than those they had made in half a lifetime of following him.
Li Che also had a lot of questions to ask Yang Zhongsi, such as why he appeared here and why he mixed in with the Shiwei people.
But the situation on the battlefield was urgent, so there was no time to say more: "Uncle Yang, the main force of the Shiwei Army will be here soon. You should withdraw from the valley first. The main force of the Fengtian Army will support you outside."
"it is good."
Yang Zhongsi was not polite to Li Che either. He was only a few years younger than Yelu Daha, and he was indeed a little tired after fighting for such a long time.
Li Che gave a look, and the bugler picked up the bugle and started to play it.
When the Fengtian cavalry heard the bugle call, they immediately stopped charging forward and began to retreat steadily out of the valley.
Yelu Dahe's life and death were unknown, and Khitan Khan was captured. Except for some die-hard Khitan soldiers, the remaining Khitan troops fled in all directions and were not worthy of fear.
However, the group of Shiwei soldiers were truly a group of barbaric lunatics. They launched an indiscriminate attack on the Fengtian Army and the defeated Khitan Army without any regard for the consequences.
However, his equipment was too poor. Relying on the primitive swords, spears and short bows in his hands, he could not break the armor of the Royal Guard Battalion and the armored cavalry. How could he stop the Fengtian cavalry that came and went like the wind?
Li Che personally led the personal guard battalion to cover the retreat, while the rest of the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Before leaving, he did not forget to take Yelu Daha, who was still alive, and the captured Khalkhahan with him.
All the cavalry withdrew from the mountain pass, just as Li Che was about to leave with his personal guard battalion.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves was heard, and a cavalry suddenly rushed out of the valley.
The leader was tall, wearing animal skins and a feathered bone helmet on his head, which looked a bit funny.
But the man was filled with rage, and he shouted to Li Che, "Shou Wang, don't run!"
Li Che looked at the man in confusion, then turned to look at Yang Zhongsi who had not yet evacuated.
Yang Zhongsi said in a deep voice: "This man is the leader of the Beishiwei tribe."
Li Che nodded, then looked at the group of riders without even armor beside the Shiwei leader, and asked with a puzzled look: "What is he doing here?"
A group of light cavalrymen without even armor attacked the heavy cavalrymen who were fully armored and equipped with horses. Li Che really couldn't understand the train of thought of the Shiwei people.
Yang Zhongsi also said helplessly: "This man has no potential to be a leader. He was only the son of the previous leader of Beishiwei, so the throne was passed to him."
Li Che understood, that is, he is a fool.
While the two were talking, the leader of Shiwei had already reached a hundred steps away.
Seeing Yang Zhongsi beside Li Che, he tilted his head in confusion: "Qi Yankang, why are you with the Qing people?"
Li Che and Yang Zhongsi were speechless. Even a fool could see the situation, but this guy couldn't tell it.
Until the attendant beside him said something to him, the leader of Shiwei suddenly became furious:
"Qi Yankang, last year you led your people wandering in the snow. My father took you in. How dare you betray me?!"
Yang Zhongsi, however, had a cold expression on his face. The relationship between him and Beishiwei was nothing more than mutual exploitation. They were enemies of life and death, so he had no regrets.
The leader of the Shiwei was different. When he saw that Yang Zhongsi didn't respond, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
He actually charged forward personally, leading his Shiwei warriors to swarm towards the fully armed guard camp.
Li Che looked at the other person as if he were a fool and gently raised his right hand.
The guards took out their muskets from beside the saddles and held them in front of their chests.
The musket was not much bigger than a palm, with eight barrels welded around the center, looking like a pepper shaker turned upside down on the gun body.
The name of this musket is vivid and easy to remember, it is called pepper bottle pistol.
The pepper shaker pistol first appeared in the 18th century. Thanks to its advantages of revolving cylinder and primer firing, it quickly became popular among cowboys, pirates and other groups.
This type of pistol is actually the predecessor of the revolver and is not a high-powered weapon.
Chen Gui also led the gunsmiths from the Gunpowder Department to make several improvements before making it practical, but after all, the production capacity of mercury fulminate was limited, and only 300 guns were produced before the war to equip Li Che's personal guards.
Compared with a real pistol, the pepper bottle pistol has low power, short range, and is difficult to load. In the eyes of Li Che's descendants, this thing is still too simple.
However, this gun has only one advantage that is enough to make people ignore all the above shortcomings.
That is, it can fire continuously!
Three hundred guards were equipped with pepper pot pistols, which they loaded with gunpowder and bullets at the muzzle and installed percussion caps at the rear.
Then he raised his pistol and aimed forward, holding his breath and aiming calmly.
When the enemy came into range, the guard gently pulled the trigger.
bang bang bang-
Gunshots rang out and smoke filled the air.
In the night, lead bullets shot out one gray line after another, forming a three-dimensional network structure, covering the Shiwei leader and his warriors.
At the pull of the trigger, the barrel rotates and the hammer is aimed at the next unfired barrel.
bang bang bang-
Another burst of intensive gunfire rang out.
