It is not easy for the fire tongue to produce sparks. Even ancient people who were familiar with its use often had to hit it seven or eight times before they could successfully ignite the item.

He Mai held a gun in one hand and struck the tongue of fire with the other. This was of course not an easy thing to do. If the tongue of fire wanted to ignite, both hands must work together.

This made He Mai anxious.

Perhaps, weapons such as firecrackers could not appear in dynasties earlier than the Tang Dynasty, not only because of the age of the invention of gunpowder, but also because at this time, convenient ignition equipment that could free one hand had not yet appeared.

reason.

what to do?

This is how to do!

Very impatient!

He Mai, who had failed several attempts, had no choice but to wave his hand and call the unfriendly He Wuji to his side.

"Come and help me light the fire!"

"I'll shoot!"

He Wuji swayed forward, but did not rush to take He Mai's tongue.

"I'll light the fire, and you'll shoot?"

"What you think is quite beautiful!"

"That doesn't mean you get all the benefits!"

At this time, there is probably no other brother who is still fussing over everything in Jiankang City. The He brothers are the first of their kind.

"What do you want?"

He Mai was ready to compromise. He couldn't light the pistol on his own anyway, so there had to be someone to help him.

He Wuji has always been a person who cannot afford to suffer losses. If you ask him for help, you must be prepared to transfer your profits.

He Wuji grabbed the pistol and said happily: "No need to ask, of course you will light it, I will shoot it!"

The primary fire gun made by Wang Mi can be regarded as the simplest structure among the fire guns. It does not have complicated components such as triggers. When the gunpowder in the medicine chamber is ignited, a huge explosion will occur in a small space.

The explosive driving force relies on this driving force to push the lead in the front chamber out.

This kind of handgun without a brake trigger must have a limited range, which is only a few hundred steps at best.

From this point of view, although He Mai did not know the advantages and disadvantages of handguns, the target he chose was relatively accurate.

As long as he can perform normally, it shouldn't be difficult to hit the willow tree.

Of course, He Mai is smart. He did not choose this willow tree casually. He made his choice based on the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

He Mai is not a martial arts master. It has been proved on the Xiangyang battlefield that his martial arts skills are inferior to those of Beifu soldiers.

Therefore, He Mai, who was unable to pull the mighty bow, would certainly not expect to be able to hit something a hundred steps away.

"That's it!" He Mai gritted his teeth and gave He Wuji a great opportunity to shine. Even He Wuji was shocked.

So happy?

It’s simply not like the Amai before.

Although there was something wrong with the incident, He Wuji couldn't help but be ready to take action in the face of the huge temptation.

What does it look like when a pistol is fired?

In the general's workshop, this is the only opportunity to stand out. From now on, even if there are second and third shots, they will lose their freshness.

What's more, if you miss such a good opportunity, you will basically miss this village and there will be no such store!

He Mai exchanged with He Wuji, and now He Wuji was standing in the pit, and with a helper, He Mai would no longer be troubled by such trivial matters as starting a fire.

After a few squirts, the sparks popped out.

Very good!

He Mai brought the flame closer to the pistol's medicine room again, wanting to do it again, but this time, He Mai helped, and the fire door of the medicine room was already open.

Electric light and flint!

The intimate contact between gunpowder and Mars is at this moment!

"Wait!"

"Danger!"

A loud roar came from the other side of the Yamen. Following the sound, rushing toward the crowd, was the slightly disheveled Wang Shilang and Wang Mi himself.

"Can't light the fire!"

boom!

jump!

"ah!"

It’s broken, it’s broken!

Wang Mi came out of the toilet and ran straight to the Yamen. When he saw He Mai and He Wuji's dangerous moves, he immediately panicked and rushed over to him before he had even raised his pants!

It's a pity that he panicked for a moment and shouted the wrong point.

Just when he shouted about danger, He Mai didn't know where the so-called danger came from. Sparks burst out from the tongue of fire in his hand. He Mai had already opened the door of the medicine room, and the medicine stored in it was

, either sulfur or saltpeter, and a large portion of the mixture of saltpeter and sulfur, a serious super flammable substance.

Before the two sides made formal contact, the gunpowder exploded!

Accompanied by two loud noises, although the overall sound was not particularly loud, for the unprepared He brothers and the craftsmen who were watching, the sound was terrifying enough!

What was more terrifying than the sound was the situation of the two He brothers.

Although gunpowder is powerful enough, the amount of gunpowder that can be loaded into a pistol is also very limited.

Therefore, although there were a large crowd of onlookers, the shot was not fired, and it really did not hurt these idlers.

The only ones injured were the He brothers. Wang Mi rushed over and helped He Wuji up. According to his judgment, judging from the current situation, he was the one holding the gun who was more seriously injured.

He Wuji was shocked and confused by the sudden attack. It could be seen that his eyes were still open and he was breathing. Wang Mi didn't have time to wake him up first, so he quickly checked the wound.

On He Wuji's body, the white robe he liked to wear had no traces of blood except for a few dark traces of smoke and dirt.

Wang Mi felt relieved. It seemed that the damage caused by the pistol was not that huge. The only doubt now was He Wuji's hands!

Wang Mi was a little far away just now, and it could only be seen that the two of them were preparing to shoot, but it was not clear whether they were fully prepared.

Whether this sudden explosion can be regarded as a chamber explosion cannot yet be judged.

But it exploded, and one of He Wuji's hands was completely blackened.

Wang Mi was about to take off his hand and examine it carefully, but He Mai on the other side woke up first.

"How is this going?"

"Where am I?"

"Am I still alive?"

Unlike He Wuji, who was still slightly injured, He Mai finally stood up with Pu Chao's help, shook his arm, stepped on it a few more times, and found that his body was intact.

He immediately regained his energy and shouted to the sky: "I'm still alive!"

"I'm actually still alive!"

"He Xiaolang, congratulations, you are indeed fine." Pu Chao also congratulated him, although he still didn't know what the situation was on He Wuji's side.

"Zhiyuan, how is Wuji?"

He Mai had finished jumping around, and finally remembered that there was a cousin living far away, and He Wuji was still lying here, with his life and death uncertain!

Wang Mi sighed, and while clasping He Wuji's fingers, he comforted He Mai: "What's going on with you?"

"I just went to the toilet once, and you all can't wait?"

There is no need to carefully analyze the real situation at that time. Several people must have gotten together and started making noises, which made the He brothers crazy.

"We are not..."

"Do you want to be in the limelight?" He Mai scratched the back of his head, but this time he was very honest.

He Wuji's fingers were finally broken open. What Wang Mi was most concerned about was the area around his tiger's mouth. Generally speaking, this was the place where the gunpowder that exploded the barrel would be injured.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry!"

Hearing Wang Mi say this, He Mai was really relieved. He Wuji could finally feel relieved this time. He was also a relative after all, with broken bones and tendons.

"Wuji!"

"Wuji!"

"Wake up quickly!"

"You're okay!"

"Not hurt!"
