"Open the door! I told you to open the door immediately! I am under the Emperor's order to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace immediately. If you delay important matters, how many heads do you have left to chop off?"
Outside the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a man dressed as a general was riding on a tall horse and roaring at the guards of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Behind him stood a group of fully armed soldiers, each of them standing as tall as a pine tree and with a face as cold as iron.
They wore heavy armor that gleamed with a cold light, as if capable of withstanding any attack. In their hands, they clutched sharp spears, their tips pointing toward the heavens, revealing an endless aura of murderous intent.
The soldiers were lined up neatly, marching in unison, moving quickly and agilely, like a precisely operated war machine.
Everyone's eyes were full of determination and courage, as if they were ready to fight and charge into battle at any time.
In a word, the people surrounding the Chinese Academy of Sciences this time are all elite soldiers, and the mere sight of them gives you a sense of oppression.
However, the guards at the Chinese Academy of Sciences were not afraid at all. Looking at the roaring general, a trace of disdain appeared on their faces and they said, "I've already said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is conducting an experiment. It's an emergency now, so he can't come out. So just wait patiently. Who are you showing off to?"
Upon hearing this, the general on horseback flew into a rage and asked, "What's your name? Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak to me like that?"
The general chose to use his power to coerce the guards and wanted to use his status to force them to surrender.
What he never expected was that the guard before him was so arrogant and out of his mind that he stiffened his neck and said, "What the hell are you yelling at me for? When I was on the city wall fighting against the Liao and Jin guards of Da Qi, where in the mountains were you guys?"
"Now that the enemy is gone, you're humming when facing your own people? Pah, what the hell! What the hell!"
Obviously, they had more people on their side and were clearly armed to the teeth, but at this moment, they were suppressed by a doorman from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in terms of momentum.
The leading general did not expect that the person guarding the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was actually a veteran who participated in that battle.
The general soon realized that he could not allow the other side to continue acting like this, otherwise the team would be in chaos.
So he drew the long sword from his waist, pointed it at the still roaring doorman and said, "Open the door immediately, or I'll lead my men in. When that happens, I'll see how many heads you have left to chop off!"
"What do you mean? You can't reason with me, so you're trying to bully me, right? Fine, I'm not afraid of you bullies! I'm putting this on hold today, just give it a try, and if you want to die, I won't stop you!"
After saying this, the doorman from the Chinese Academy of Sciences waved his hand, and soon dozens of people dressed as Jinyiwei rushed over, holding flintlock rifles in their hands.
Being pointed at by the black muzzle of a gun, the general on horseback felt a little scared.
He had heard that the Chinese Academy of Sciences had developed a lot of new weapons, including flintlock rifles.
Unlike ordinary bird guns, this thing has a faster loading speed, higher accuracy, and greater lethality.
Even fully armed heavy infantry would find it difficult to survive against this kind of flintlock rifle.
Fortunately, the enemy doesn't have many people. If we really risk our lives and rush in even if we lose dozens of people, we should be able to win!
So the leading general turned his horse around and began to retreat. He must not be among the dozens of people who died, otherwise it would be a great loss.
The Jinyiwei noticed that the leading general had retreated and immediately judged his intention. The Jinyiwei who had just angrily scolded these people immediately ordered: "Send the signal, these grandsons are going to attack!"
With a whoosh, an arrow pierced the clouds and flew into the sky.
Soon the Chinese Academy of Sciences became bustling with activity. Countless Jinyiwei came out of the building, each holding a bird gun in his hand. A conservative estimate was that there were more than a thousand of them.
There were also some people who were obviously researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wearing the white coats unique to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Compared with the Jinyiwei, this group of people were actually more excited and couldn't wait to rush forward.
In addition, many people came out from the School of Arts and the library. These people did not carry weapons, but just stood there watching from a distance with a look of curiosity on their faces.
Some people even had paper and pen in their hands, and I don’t know what they were recording at this time.
The general outside the door watched all this in amazement. He didn't expect that there were so many people who were not afraid of death in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He didn't expect that these people were so well organized and disciplined. They actually completed the assembly in such a short time. The formation was so neat!
Little did the general know that the staff of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had to conduct two drills every day.
The morning is the unified radio gymnastics time, and the afternoon is the running exercise time.
In Lu Chen's words, this can effectively prevent a series of occupational diseases such as varicose veins, periarthritis of the shoulder, and cervical spondylosis.
Moreover, at critical moments, they can protect the Chinese Academy of Sciences and prevent their research results from falling into the hands of the enemy.
At that time, everyone thought that Lu Chen was worrying too much, but now it seems that this is clearly a preventative measure.
"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone, get moving. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is our home, and it is our responsibility to protect this place."
"We are now wearing armor and carrying sharp weapons, right? If we agree, will it be considered a military achievement?"
"Damn, I can finally play with guns freely. Last time during target practice, each person could only fire one shot. That was so stingy."
"Everyone, be serious. This is war, people will die. Don't treat it as a joke!"
"Captain, there's no need to be so nervous. We made this thing. We know how powerful it is and how lethal it is. Let alone these good-for-nothings, even if the Liao and Jin invade again, I promise to make them suffer a bitter defeat!"
"Everyone, get ready!"
At the commander-in-chief's command, hundreds of guns were pointed at the troops outside the door.
The general outside the gate was also furious at this time. He raised his long sword and roared, "Brothers, get ready and charge! The first one to break in will be rewarded heavily, and those who can capture Li Xiang alive will be made a marquis and a prime minister!"
It is said that money can move people's hearts. Under the encouragement of this general, the breathing of the soldiers outside became heavier.
Unlike the leading generals, the soldiers below had just been transferred to the capital, and they had never seen how powerful the flintlock rifles of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were.
Many people thought that this thing was similar to the previous bird gun, and that they could block the attack by finding a thicker piece of wood.
Immediately, the soldiers holding shields stepped forward, formed a standard defensive archer formation, and began to advance steadily.
As long as they can advance to the range where the spearmen can attack, they will have the confidence to break through the opponent's formation in one wave, and then, there will be no more.
With a shout of "Let go", the soldiers advancing in the front row fell down in large numbers like wheat being cut!
