Chapter 729 It’s not certain who will be the emperor!
Because of Ran Qingxuan's interference, the bullet just passed by Zhuo Yong's ear.
Wei Yiping's face turned pale when he thought about the disaster that almost happened just after he got the gun.
“I forgot to tell you about my problem.
You all saw what happened just now. What I want to say is that no matter what, the muzzle of the gun should always be pointed downwards. Except at the enemy, never point it at your own people! ”
Several people nodded in fear, and Wei Yiping, who got the rifle again, followed Ran Qingxuan's instructions and tucked the gun under his armpit to check it.
This time he was very careful in his movements, and fortunately the gun was set to single-shot. If it was automatic, she wouldn't even dare to imagine the consequences!
Zheng Borui and his colleagues also heard the gunshots. They stopped to ask and felt relieved only after they learned that it was an accidental discharge.
For ten minutes, Ran Qingxuan once again explained seriously to several people until Shan Qi and others could operate it proficiently.
"When we get back to Hulu Pass later, I will take you to find General Chang, and you will lead a team of 100 people!"
Shan Qi and the others' eyes lit up, but soon Xiong Jiang said with some uncertainty.
"Madam, with the advent of such a powerful weapon, the country that can be protected will fall into the hands of Qi Jing and Qi Ren. I feel unwilling just thinking about it..."
"that is..."
Gu Yanchen was concentrating on driving, but his mind was actually elsewhere.
"Just think of it as doing it for those innocent people, and it's not certain who will be the emperor..."
"ah..."
"Um??"
"Sixth Master, what did you say?"
Several people looked at Gu Yanchen, but Gu Yanchen did not respond to them.
Ran Qingxuan: "You should get more familiar with the guns in your hands. If you don't understand something, ask immediately. When the time comes, you will have to teach those soldiers when you return!"
More than ten minutes later, Shan Qi and his companions only saw a flash of white light before their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they had found themselves and their car on the wasteland outside Hulu Pass.
The spring breeze blew the dust from outside the pass across my cheeks, and the military flags on the city wall in the distance fluttered. It seemed like a world away from that magical space just now.
“You’re coming here right now?”
Thinking it was a dream, Fang Zhixing touched the hard object on his waist. The weapon called a "pistol" was there. The cold touch reminded him that what he had just seen was true.
The night wind outside the car window was blinding. Ran Qingxuan raised his hand to tuck the scattered hair behind his ears: "Let's go, we have to find General Chang first!"
Gu Yanchen reached out from the car window and knocked on the jeep door, and the metal made a dull sound.
"Zheng Borui, slow down and let me pass first, so as to avoid accidental injuries to the soldiers defending the city."
"good!"
This lump of iron brought out from space was particularly eye-catching on the loess road, and the wheels made a creaking sound when rolling over the gravel.
"Sixth Master, this iron horse really doesn't need to be fed with fodder?" Xiong Jiang still didn't quite believe it at this point.
Gu Yanchen chuckled: "It drinks a liquid that is stronger than wine."
Kang Zishuang was already a little numb. He no longer cared about how his younger brother knew such a divine man. The young man who had originally questioned Ran Qingxuan now had piety in his eyes.
The wheels kicked up dust and smoke. The defenders at the pass saw this steel monster from afar and were so frightened that they almost sounded the gong to warn the enemy.
Only after he saw clearly who was sticking his head out of the car window did he hurriedly push open the heavy city gate. The iron gate made a harsh creaking sound as it rose, startling a group of gray pigeons on the city wall.
In front of the main tent, Chang Hu was discussing with his deputy general why Ran Qingxuan wanted to send someone. When he heard the report, the command flag in his hand fell onto the sand table with a "bang", and the small wooden flags for defense were knocked down.
"What did you say? The sixth son of the Gu family came in with a horseless iron carriage?"
Before he finished speaking, the roar of an engine was heard outside the tent. Chang Hu strode out and saw the dark green jeep parked in front of the gate.
In the firelight, the front bumper of the car reflected a dazzling light, and several bodyguards were pointing their spears at the tires fearfully.
"Second uncle!" Gu Yanchen opened the car door and got out, his black robe stained with a little dust.
Behind him, Ran Qingxuan was helped out of the car and waved at him with a smile.
Chang Hu's thick eyebrows almost flew into his temples: "Sister-in-law, this...is not..."
He was curious. Wasn't Ran Qingxuan still in the tent an hour ago? How come he was with Gu Yanchen...
There was no chance to ask because his attention was already drawn to the jeep.
"Where did you get this...this armored beast?" He pressed his rough palm on the hood and shrank back due to the residual heat.
"We will discuss this in detail later."
Ran Qingxuan invited the people aside and whispered, "Brother Chang, have you prepared a hundred elite soldiers?"
"Of course, everyone has been gathered. I said I would go find my sister-in-law after we finish discussing the matters at hand."
"Take us to the one hundred elite soldiers first!"
One hundred men were arranged on a training ground facing north of the camp. When they saw Chang Hu coming, everyone stood up from the fire and lined up.
Shan Qi and his men came up with a box full of guns. Ran Qingxuan lifted the oilcloth on the box without hesitation, revealing a brand new Barrett sniper rifle.
The soldiers' first reaction made Chang Hu realize that the thing in front of him was definitely not an ordinary item, and the hundreds of elite soldiers all looked at Ran Qingxuan with curiosity as he picked up the sniper rifle.
Gu Yanchen was afraid that she would get stretched, so he carefully protected her.
Knowing what she was going to do, Gu Yanchen took out a brass bullet and handed it to her.
While she was reloading, Gu Yanchen said in a deep voice: "The battle of Hulu Pass is imminent, but the number of enemy troops may exceed 50,000..."
Everyone knew Gu Yanchen, and they all knew that the Gu family had encountered misfortune.
Now he appeared in this place regardless of danger, which moved everyone deeply.
When they heard that they would have to use only 3,000 men to resist 50,000, the first reaction of all the soldiers was not fear, but the determination to defend to the death!
Ran Qingxuan adjusted his posture and spoke loudly in the silent night.
"This thing is called a 'sniper rifle', and it will be our last chance of survival!"
Ran Qingxuan stroked the black barrel of the gun with his slender fingers and spoke unbelievable words in the calmest tone.
"Just pull the trigger and you can take the enemy's head from 300 steps away."
Deputy General Zhao Tiezhu chuckled: "Madam, please don't joke. Even the most elite archers..."
"Bang..."
A thunderous sound came, stopping his words abruptly.
Ran Qingxuan didn't waste any time, raised his arm and pulled the trigger.
The target fifty steps away from the training ground exploded with a bang, and amidst the flying wood chips, the flagpole behind the target snapped into two pieces.
"Do you think that flesh and blood is harder than this bullet?"
The whole tent was in dead silence. Chang Hu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
On the parade ground, hundreds of elite soldiers stood in line. They were the sharpest warriors carefully selected from the 30,000 defenders, but at this moment they were as restless as new recruits.
"Watch out!" Wei Yiping raised his automatic rifle and pulled the trigger at the straw man a hundred steps away.
With a deafening explosion, thirty straw men were torn into pieces in an instant.
In the gap between the smoke, a young soldier knelt down on the ground and covered his chest with his hands.
"There is salvation. The people are saved."
