Musket formations, warriors support each other. This era when the online rifle did not appear is always the mainstream of war. Now Luo Huo's musket formation is the backbone of firepower output, and the Taibai-headed bandits who surged up on both wings are the solid shields of the musket formation. Any fish that escaped the net dared to attack would be ruthlessly killed.

This tactic was not something Xiao Letian thought of in vain. It was almost the essence of all battle formations in the history of Western smoothbore rifles. The Spanish phalanx used spearmen as flanks, while in the Napoleon era, ultra-long-range shooting of artillery and dragoons were used for flanking guards.

Even in the just-concluded American Civil War, the musketeers needed cavalry and scattered soldiers to cover it. However, foreign devils were foreign devils, and they were not as luxurious as Xiao Letian. Ten musketeers were actually equipped with more than 100 Green Forest heroes as guards. How could this combat effectiveness be low?

The sky of Taibaiding is mainly dominated by the Northern Expedition Army, and the Northern Expedition Army was the elite among the elites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to fight to Tianjin with more than 20,000 troops. Many of the soldiers who formed this unit were updated as soon as possible and had the background of people from the Southern Green Forest.

To be honest, Xiao Letian, the military advisor, led a luxurious army composed entirely of Green Forest people. These people are not the opponent of Xiang Shaolong when fighting alone, but a group of Green Forest heroes have learned the cooperation of the army's battle formation, so ten Xiang Shaolongs are no longer the opponent.

"Luo Huo, have you discovered Mr. Xiao?" Xiao Hexin asked nervously.

"No, but the back door of the hut is open..." Luo Huo held up his torch and leaned into the valley to look.

"Catch up, as long as you get close to sir, sir will definitely send a signal!" After saying that, Xiao Hexin was the first to jump down the valley. In a short while, the entire valley was filled with the light of torches, and more than a hundred people searched in the valley like long dragons. Please come for more and faster chapters.

"Wang Huaiyuan, arrest those injured enemies and treat them briefly first... These are our hostages!" Xiao Hexin's roar came from the valley.

At this time, Xiao Letian had already seen the firelight rising behind him. After listening carefully for a long time, when the familiar sound of the sound of the bird gun volley came, he subconsciously wanted to take out the yellow phosphorus fireworks, but then he thought, there might be many enemies hiding in the darkness around him. If the enemy arrived first, it would be broken.

Thinking of this, he whispered to Hu Niu, "Don't worry about them, let's continue walking down the mountain, don't make a sound." He didn't know how long he had walked, but the two suddenly noticed the sound of shaking grass and trees coming from behind. Xiao Letian quickly grabbed Hu Niu and hid in the grass on one side.

But before they could hide their figures, a cold and hard thing suddenly pressed against Xiao Letian's waist. "Mr. Xiao, we're meeting again. This is your pistol, and the power is clearer than me. You are updated as soon as possible." The person who spoke was Xiang Shaolong.

Damn, Xiao Letian cursed in his heart, but he didn't expect this guy to be so fast. "Master Long, can't we discuss anything well? What kind of hatred do you and me have? As for the pursuit of this kind? Who hired you, no matter how much money he paid, can't I give you double payment?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly, "Don't play tricks with me, I want to delay time and wait for your hands to come and save you? Dream, follow me back immediately, hurry up..."

Under the threat of the pistol, Xiao Letian and Hu Niu slowly retreated. With the faint starlight, they were surprised to find that there was a cave behind the grass. When the three of them drilled into the cave, Xiang Shaolong blocked the entrance of the cave with weeds. The black muzzle threatened Xiao Letian. None of the three of them dared to speak out. Please come more and faster chapters.

After a while, there were crackling muskets coming from a distance, and the sound of weapons intersecting, "Catch live, catch hostages..." It was Sima Yun, who was taking his brothers to surround the disciples of Xiangjiazhuang.

Xiao Letian obviously felt Xiang Shaolong trembling. Perhaps this great hero from the north has never suffered such a shame in his life.

After a while, the light of the torch began to flash at the entrance of the cave. As the figure flashed, the three of them saw with their own eyes that two disciples from Xiangjiazhuang were tied up and tied to a wooden stick like a pig tied up. Sima Yun looked around and did not find the entrance of the cave. Then he rushed to the depths of the valley with his people.

After more than half an hour, the outside of the cave became quiet. At this time, Xiao Letian asked in a low voice, "Master Long... You have also seen that those are your disciples and disciples. The children and disciples in the world are your family business. It is not easy to save so much, so why bother to beat them..."

"As I expected, the person who saved me has started to go to Xiangjiazhuang. Let me tell you the truth. In order to exchange my life, they will definitely exchange your relatives for it..."

"Shut up! You two ghosts who wrote evil scriptures, I'm killing you to do the way for heaven!" Master Long was sweating in his forehead but he was still stubborn. More and faster chapters were invited. Xiao Letian was so angry at that time, thinking that this Qing Dynasty was really impossible to save. Everyone from top to bottom had been completely brainwashed by feudal ideas. Why didn't it make sense?

Haha, Xiao Letian sneered and said, "So, Mr. Long has read my clumsy work? It seems that you also regard him as a book like Journey to the West and the Gods' List? It's really hopeless. He uses lies as a reason and is even more striking. I'm a pity..."

"I have heard all the things you said. You don't believe that the earth is round, you don't understand what Western technology is like. You don't understand why foreign warships can sail thousands of miles and explode the Qinghai Sea. You don't understand why foreign muskets are so powerful that they can kill people invisibly..."

"While under the threat of foreigners' force, you have to admit that foreign guns and cannons are powerful, but when you turn around, you refuse to admit the foreigners' natural science knowledge. You group of fools who cover up your ears and steal bells, you contradictory fools, and you are also a group of cowards who dare not admit reality..."

"Stop!" Master Long's uninjured arm popped out like lightning, pinching Xiao Letian's throat hard. He was already angry at Xiao Letian's words.

"Dare you to say I am a coward? I left home at the age of six and learned from my master. I have killed countless evil people so far, and even killed me. I have even killed the stolen officials. How dare you say I am a coward?"

Xiao Letian's face turned red, "You...you don't let others talk, you're just...a coward, you're afraid you can't tell me..." Master Long relaxed his hand angrily, "Say, I'll tell you, I'll see what truth you can say?"

Cough cough, Xiao Letian coughed violently for a while and said gasping, "Only practice can bring true knowledge, you have read my book. Westerner Magellan has proved with his own practice that the earth is a sphere. Why did he return to the starting point in the end? This is a clear proof..."

"I know what you are going to say. Don't you just want to say I'm lying? Then I tell you that the foreigners who attacked Beijing four years ago have circled around the earth. Do you believe it or not? If you don't believe it, I will take you to ask the foreigners, and you can even send you to take a sea boat in person."

Xiao Letian was like telling a story to a newly enlightened student, constantly explaining simple natural science knowledge. He didn't dare to talk too deeply, because it was difficult for the ancients to understand just a single story at this time.

In fact, during the process of Western learning and Eastward spreading, it takes a certain amount of time for ordinary Chinese people to accept emerging things. People are very nostalgic creatures that refuse to change. Many older people will not accept new things no matter what you say. For example, those corrupt scholars of Wang Shizheng, because once they accept new knowledge, they will prove that they were wrong before.

It is always painful to admit mistakes. Even if they deceive themselves, they are unwilling to go through the process of self-denial because it is too painful. Please come to more and faster chapters.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaolong is not an old and pedantic person. His age at the age of thirty gave him the courage to accept some new things, such as "The Story of the West". The big man who hired him gave the order to kill Xiao Letian immediately and make this case a strange case. However, because Xiang Shaolong had read the Story of the West before and became interested in some of the contents in it, he was not willing to kill him.

And this year, when he heard Xiao Letian explain these natural science knowledge to him in person, he felt like he was shattering something in his heart.

Yes, what the two Japanese said makes sense. If all the saints in this world are right, then why can foreigners produce strong ships and powerful cannons that saints have never seen before? The saints are so powerful, why can Chinese people not beat Westerners again and again?

So, the core of thinking about all problems is to admit that the saint is not omnipotent. More and faster chapters are invited. Oh my God, Master Long seemed to collapse at that moment. Letting people of that era admit that the saint is not omnipotent is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Until the end, Xiao Letian took out his last killer move and smashed Xiang Shaolong hard. "After the British and French coalition forces burned the Old Summer Palace four years ago, do you know how much silver the Qing Dynasty spent to seek the sum to succeed? It's a full eight million taels..."

"You know, the Russians in the north, commonly known as Rakshasa, just dispatched Cossack cavalry to threaten the Qing Dynasty and the British and French coalition forces slightly, and do they get much benefit? More than one million square kilometers! My good Lord Long, do you know how big it is, five Zhili are as big as... "

Xiang Shaolong seemed to have been hit by lightning at that time, and his eyes were distracted. "You, you... you, the second Japanese, are here to deceive people again. The Qing Dynasty has lost five places as big as Zhili? Why don't we know?"

Damn, what era was it? How could he tell the people about such embarrassing things in the Qing government? It was too late to hide his butt. As for Han scholars, they were even more uninterested. They thought that it was the territory where the Qing Dynasty sold itself and had nothing to do with the Han people.

This was a period when the late Qing Dynasty was not formed. However, without the concept of the country, it does not mean that the people are not patriotic. Yue Fei's story has been sung from generation to generation. All Chinese people know that losing land is wrong, and this is the most simple value in the hearts of Chinese people.

Xiang Shaolong grabbed Xiao Letian's arm, "Are you lying to me? Tell me if you are lying to me?"

Xiao Letian's face was as deep as water. "I used my ancestors to swear that these things are all true. When I returned to my motherland, I wanted to tell us Chinese, how foreigners became stronger and how we should catch up. If we don't work hard now and cede land and pay compensation in the future, the foreign team's capture of Beijing will never stop..."

Xiang Shaolong said nothing, turned his revolver back and stuffed it back into Xiao Letian's arms, "You two go, I'll let you go. But I tell you, if you are lying to me today, I will not let you go even if I chase you to the ends of the world!"

At that moment, Xiao Letian was moved. He even wondered whether he needed to print a big-character poster? I thought I could just write the details of the "Beijing Treaty" and the "China-Russia Aihui Treaty" in vernacular and paste them all over the countryside.
