Chapter 1090 Times
It was a musket, and a flintlock musket!
Lying lazily on a knight apprentice.
Its whole body is made of metal. Obviously, the knight apprentice has not considered its weight. Even if it is considered, it is still considering whether it can be used as a stick with good power after firing a bullet. It can also be seen that it is well-crafted, with many exquisite patterns that are inconsistent with its simple and simple technology. Anyang reminded of the golden hunting rifle that the Queen of Great Britain gave to Emperor Qianlong in the Palace Museum.
Of course, simple technology is just for Anyang. Perhaps for people in this world, it means the latest and highest technology, the strongest weapon of mortals, and the worry-free thing for these mercenaries to travel in business and deal with thieves.
It successfully aroused Anyang's interest.
So he began to look at the flintlock gun with interest and think about the hidden meaning behind it.
This is obviously a bore-bearing gun. Anyang does not think that this world can have a breech gun so soon. In fact, due to the suppression of the knight class, royal power and mysterious class, as well as its own ideological and cultural shackles, the world can skip the development process of the medley gun in just ten years and go directly to the era of flintlock guns.
But if you think about it carefully, you seem to take it for granted.
When he first arrived in this world, students in the capital college of the Mesoalan Federation had already touched the principle of the steam engine. The technical content of the steam engine was much higher than that of the flintlock musket.
According to the historical course of the earth, humans invented this gun in the fifteenth century and even invented rifle, and the steam engine was not released until the nineteenth century.
In this world, people's technology has long been able to make muskets. It is just that due to the lag of the historical environment, these technologies and craftsmanship levels have been serving the original ruling class. Few people turn their attention to these things that can change the world, and few people realize that these things can change the world. Just like China, which was leading in the early days, had gunpowder and compass technology, but became a toy, leading to the rise of Western civilization.
This is the feudal and backwardness of consciousness, not technology.
So when people realized that gunpowder, which was originally only used to create luxury for the nobles, could shine such a brilliant light on the battlefield, muskets came out.
Not only that, the original technology and craftsmanship of the world provided excellent soil for its rapid development. The combs may have appeared, but they were soon banned, and they may not have appeared at all. The inventor of the musket realized that it could use flint to ignite gunpowder!
At this time, someone had noticed him, especially those long-standing guards. After all, the behavior of staring at other people's weapons was indeed abnormal, so a guard rode his horse and gradually slowed down and was waiting for the cart he was on to catch up.
"What do you want to do? I'm thirsty?" the guard said in a heavy tone, and then threw him a kettle.
Anyang picked up the kettle, chuckled, and threw it back: "I'm not thirsty, I just want to ask, what is the origin of the other tubular weapon on the waist of the knight?"
"Not thirsty? Then don't act rashly. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked. I'll put you down when I arrive at Lingsha City!" The guard took the kettle and said coldly, rode his horse back to his original position, then greeted his companions and continued to walk with the team. At the same time, he accidentally glanced at the other muskets on the waist of the mercenary, snorted, revealing a disdain, and whispered in a low voice, "Take a wild path of evil ways!"
Anyang felt more and more that there should be noble families sitting in those carriages, otherwise where would these excellent knights come from?
Shaking his head, he didn't care much.
Since the musket has been invented and these keen mercenaries were first worn by them, it means that the status of the traditional knight class has been challenged in the first round. The reserved knight will definitely be difficult to resist a shot from a close distance, and when ordinary knight apprentices have the capital to challenge the reserved knight, it means that the system of strict knight hierarchy has begun to collapse.
And what after?
The advent of rifle?
The range and accuracy of muskets with rifled will be greatly increased, and they will no longer shoot randomly. After a little training, ordinary people will also have the force to challenge the reserve knights and even the official knights, and the knight's military status will eventually be shaken.
Of course, the knight will not disappear, it will exist forever, and will be the peak force for a long time in the future, but it can no longer dominate the situation on the battlefield with its physical combat power alone.
The knight fell from the altar, and what about the mysterious one behind him?
A smile hung on the surface under Anyang's cloak. He seemed to have seen an especially wonderful era and saw some extremely dazzling sparks blooming. In the process of rapid changes in the times, madness in ambitions were born. The situation in the mortal world will inevitably be greatly affected. It depends on whether the mysterious organization can suppress the situation!
Then Anyang discovered that there were two strange people.
One person sat in the front of the convoy, and he could only be seen when the convoy turned around, and the other person sat in the middle. The two people looked the most luxurious, but there was no curtain to pull the curtain and the side curtain was also opened, allowing people to see two thin and hunched mysterious people sitting inside at a glance.
It seems to be two old men.
They all wore gorgeous robes with inexplicable patterns embroidered on them. The style was a bit like the wizard robes in some areas. They were very loose. At the same time, they held a stick about two meters long in their hands, with shiny crystals embedded in the sticks.
Occasionally, some skin on the neckline or arms are exposed, and strange tattoos can be seen on their skin.
Some are complex geometric figures, some are patterns of poisonous insects and beasts, and some are messy. Anyang cannot tell what it is. Others respect them very much and give them drinking water and snacks from time to time, including the captain of the guard and the official knight, who often nodded and saluted them.
It looks like...it actually...it's like a mysterious person?
It's really mysterious.
But these two people are just two ordinary people.
At this moment, a little dull sound came from afar, and soon the dull sound became clear, and there were a series of horse hooves.
At the same time, the caravan's guards immediately became alert, and each expanded their formation, gathered to the point where the sound came, staring at the dune under the sun. Many people had drawn out their broad swords and lifted up the knight's spear. The mercenaries who were originally lazy like gangsters also looked calm, and their smiles instantly left, and each picked up their weapons, with fierce eyes.
The mercenary who had a waist musket also pulled out the musket and began to stuff gunpowder and lead bullets into the barrel. Then he tried to glance at the sky and then lifted it in his hand.
This is how you encounter thieves in the desert. No one will want to let you go. Even if you let you go, it will be difficult for you to get out of this desert alone. Once you fight, you either die or I die.
“Be ready for battle!”
"Protect Madam and Miss!"
"Maybe it's a thief, I'll draw my sword. If there is a conflict, I'll show my skills!"
"Don't panic, everyone, the noise is so big. Maybe it's a marching procession. Even if you encounter a thief, you don't need to panic. We and the caravan guards will definitely protect everyone's safety!"
The knights and mercenary guards are all stabilizing the situation.
Anyang glanced at the distance and narrowed his eyes.
The processing progress of the bioassist chip is close to three-quarters, and there are still ten minutes left, which makes him a little impatient.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is getting more and more harsh.
You can vaguely hear the rough sound of riding a horse, the arrogant laughter and the strange roar, which makes people even more creepy...
It doesn't seem like an army marching.
Some people in the caravan began to panic and looked for places to hide. After all, no matter how strong the guard power was, the knights were, the results of the battle were never predictable, and the danger was even more unpredictable. Even if they could win, maybe an arrow that missed the shot would kill someone.
Finally, the first thief riding a horse appeared on the sand dune. He was a strong man with a beard on his face, riding a pony, and a fierce sword hanging next to him. His fierce temperament was the most surprising thing. He was surrounded by a few muskets, which were also flintlock muskets on the front, but they were wooden handles and iron pipes. He was not very good-looking, but he thought that the performance of the gorgeous musket in the hand of a mercenary was almost the same.
Then the second thief, the third thief...
A group of thieves appeared on the sand dunes, each of whom stopped and stared at the caravan. They were facing their backs to the sun. The light was not good for the caravan, and they looked fierce and evil, like demons standing in the sky.
Anyang narrowed his eyes.
Each of these thieves had muskets hanging on them, with four or five hangings hanging on them, and the few were two hanging on them. Their muskets were slightly different from those of the mercenary. The specific performance would have to be discovered after the fire was opened.
"Have the times developed so quickly, or are their demand for new weapons so strong that it became popular so quickly?" An Yang murmured to himself, and looked at the knight in the escort caravan.
The formal knight looked solemn, then he showed a little anger, and said in a deep voice: "With a bunch of fire sticks made of despicable craftsmen, I look at the challenge of the knight's status? It's really ignorant! Children, prepare for battle. It's time for you to defend the glory of the knight and prove your strength!"
A preparatory knight next to him took two steps with a huge single-edged sword in his hand and said with a grim smile: "Sir Xiao, don't worry, just a group of bandits. When I was fighting in the Nasse province a few years ago, I had to kill dozens of them every day! These miscellaneous pieces looked vicious, but after fighting, you will find that they were as weak as little chickens!"
"Don't be careless. It's not a few years ago. Some things make these mortals even more vicious. You have to be careful of their plots, and it's best to let the archers shoot."
"I understand, their shooting range is not long, and they can't even penetrate light armor from a long distance!" The reserve knight whispered, then waved his hand to the archers beside him, "Photo shoot a few people first, let's talk about this group of miscellaneous people, arrogant and arrogant!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the archer finished speaking, he heard a sound from afar.
"Bang!"
He turned his head keenly and saw a bandit holding a musket, and a smoke rose from his hands.
At the same time, a muffled groan sounded from the side.
