Volume 1: Wild Beasts, Changes Begin Chapter 39: Swords, Guns, Fists, and Kicks
"Azhuo!!"
The guard named Zhuo had a big hole in his stomach and it was obvious that he was going to die. The dozen or so guards on the street shouted and rushed forward with their swords drawn.
Many of the guards at the Changluo Marquis Mansion were originally retired soldiers who were specially transferred here. As long as their number is more than ten and each of them has a knife in his hand, they would dare to rush forward even if there is a leopard in front of them, let alone a slightly larger vicious dog.
There were two or three guards among them who were relatively alert. They quickly pulled Fang Pingbo and Ma Youfu back to hide.
"My lord, it's dangerous here, you should retreat first." A guard helped Fang Pingbo onto the horse , turned the horse's head, and drew his sword to hit the horse's buttocks.
Fang Pingbo remained relatively calm even as his horse galloped wildly. He lifted up his outer robe, untied a cowhide bag hanging around his waist, and pulled out a well-maintained short-handled musket.
This short-handled musket is very different from the muskets that people generally know. There is a revolving magazine near the handle , which can be loaded with six special bullets in advance. After the trigger is pulled once, the magazine will automatically rotate so that the trigger device is aimed at the next bullet.
In other words, there is no need to reload gunpowder and bullets, as long as you aim well, you can fire six times in a row.
This is a weapon developed by the Shenji Bailianying in the capital city half a year ago. It is the ultimate masterpiece among portable muskets.
Because the requirements for materials and production technology are too high, many steps need to be completed by master craftsmen personally. So far, the number of such short-handled muskets that can fire six rounds in a row is less than 100.
Moreover, the projectiles consumed by this short-handled musket are also specially made, with high labor costs. Behind each bullet, there is a cartridge case filled with gunpowder and a primer for easy ignition, which together make up a complete bullet.
If Chang Luohou had not made outstanding contributions to the improvement of the musket, he would never have been able to obtain such a treasure and hundreds of special bullets.
After taking out the rifle and opening the bolt-like safety, Fang Pingbo turned his upper body on the horse, wanting to see if there was a chance to shoot the beast.
When he turned around, he saw a scene that horrified him.
In just a few breaths, the big black dog broke through the encirclement of more than a dozen guards. Those strong men were either knocked down by it or slapped away by its claws.
Those who were hit were sent flying three or four meters away on the spot, and those who were hit by the dog's paws were like being hit by a tiger. They vomited blood from the mouth and fell to the ground.
One of them was the most miserable. The dog bit his hand and shook its head violently.
An ordinary big dog can shake its head so fast that it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly, let alone this murderous dog.
The dog's head swung and the person's hand was immediately torn off. The person with a broken arm was also thrown out and his head hit the wall next to him. He died without even having time to make a sound.
Some of the guards slashed the dogs with their steel knives when they were pushed away.
Large pieces of dog hair were cut off and flew everywhere, but after the hair fell, the exposed skin looked like a dog's face, covered with hard wrinkles.
It was like the bark of a thousand-year-old iron tree, wrapping the dog completely, and a steel knife could not leave any scratch on it.
"damn thing!"
When Fang Pingbo saw the guard who had followed him for so many years die tragically, he was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out, and he pulled the trigger repeatedly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After six shots were fired in succession, holes of varying sizes appeared on the door panels, walls, windows and the ground, and smoke was coming out. The power was truly astonishing.
Unfortunately, Fang Pingbo was too careful with this short-handled musket and had never trained properly with it. He fired six bullets in a row, but not only did his wrist ache, he also missed the target.
Not only did he miss the target, but the horse Fang Pingbo was riding was frightened by a noise it had never heard before, so it ran wildly and actually threw Fang Pingbo off its back.
Fang Pingbo was an excellent horseman. He was well prepared the moment he landed and rolled twice. Although his legs hurt a little, at least he was not seriously injured.
But at this time, the big black dog, which was frightened by the six shots, also came to its senses.
“Woof!”
The vicious dog let out a strange roar that didn't sound like a dog's, and its voice was full of anger.
It didn't even care about Ma Youfu and the other guards who were closer to it. It stared at Fang Pingbo and ran towards him.
When the dog started running wildly, Ma Youfu and his men could only see a black shadow flying along the street, and there was no time to stop it.
Seeing the ugly dog face covered in human blood getting closer and closer to him, Fang Pingbo's legs ached and he couldn't get up. He had no choice but to throw away the short-handled musket with six rounds exhausted and made a final struggle.
At this moment, he had no time to regret that he had not practiced his shooting skills well in the past, nor did he have time to be angry. He just felt a deep sense of absurdity in his heart.
In all the years since the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, he is probably the first marquis to be bitten to death by a stray dog on the roadside.
Wouldn’t Yunhan have a father who was bitten to death by a dog in the future?
Seeing that the dog's four pointed teeth were about to touch Fang Pingbo's face, the stench from the bloody red dog's mouth sprayed all over his face.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout like a bolt from the blue.
"roll!!"
On the other side of the street, Fang Yunhan came riding a horse, clapped his hands on his horse, and soared into the air.
In order to achieve speed, he struck very hard, and a galloping horse was knocked to its knees on the ground, tumbling several times, and was dying.
At the cost of this fine horse, Fang Yunhan's flying speed could probably be compared to the sharp arrow shot from a three-stone strong bow.
Fang Pingbo, who was slumped on the ground, saw nothing but a flash of light before his eyes, and then he stepped down with one leg , and the dog disappeared.
Ma Youfu and the guards were stunned.
They were farther away, so they saw more of the scene than Fang Pingbo.
But they only saw the small figure in the distance suddenly grow bigger and almost appear in front of them.
With one kick, the vicious dog, whose skin could not be cut by the steel knife just now, had its head crushed, its four legs broken, and its belly hit the stone bricks on the street, making a dull sound.
A viscous liquid, mainly red, exploded like a flower under Fang Yunhan's feet.
Fang Pingbo was stunned for a while. When he was helped up by his son, he was still a little dazed. There was a buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't hear clearly what Fang Yunhan was saying.
He thought that the immortal who gave his child guidance was a magic method that could cure all diseases.
But it turns out that this magical method of the immortals also has the function of strengthening the body?
No, this dog is not a normal dog. It's probably a dog monster.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the magic being able to subdue demons.
