Chapter 147 Bailuzhai

"Where are the eyes?" The female soldier asked, and her voice was still so stable.

Zhou Charter said: "In ancient times, the array was often a weak point of the array, or the command center, in short, one point. As the saying goes, if you attack it, the whole thing will collapse. In this sense, this battle array seems to have no weakness, that is, no eye. However, in my opinion, the whole battle is an eye!"

"What do you mean?" The female soldier asked.

"There is something wrong with the material of the short wall!" Zhou Charter said: "The shale, which is common in Alishan area, is used. There is no problem with this kind of shale to fight against the old-fashioned musket, but this kind of stone is brittle. The current rifle, whether it is the Type 88 rifle of the Qing Dynasty or the Murata rifle of the Japanese, uses copper-skinned-lead nuclear bullets, which has a long range. The bullet is penetrating and powerful. Within a distance of 200 meters, it can break through the shale and splash gravel. The splashed gravel is still lethal. It can hurt the person hiding behind the short wall. As long as the attacker concentrates on shooting at the short wall, the person behind will be injured. It won't be long before you lose your resistance!"

After Zhou Charter finished speaking, the female soldier was silent.

At the end of the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty has just entered the modern era of firearms. Many people, including Qing officers and soldiers, have just begun to know about Western rifles. Their knowledge of firearms is still in the old-fashioned sleeve stage, and they are not very good at ballistics and ammunition. Not to mention the Zou people in Alishan area. They come into contact with fewer guns and completely can't understand the relationship between the penetration of bullets and the firing point. Moreover, the guns used by the rich used by the Kana people are all old-fashioned musket guns bought from the Qing Dynasty. Now the Murata rifle in his hand was only obtained a few days ago, and they don't know the performance of the new rifle at all. Therefore, although the short-wall fortifications laid by Merri Creek seem to be impeccable, it is a tofu dregs project in front of modern rifles.

However, for unknown people, these short walls can still play a role - who will waste bullets on the wall. Especially the Japanese, they especially cherish bullets and will never empty their guns at obstacles.

Dan Cai, who was walking in front of him, heard Zhou Charter's high opinion and shouted harshly, "Nonsense! Why do you say that bullets can penetrate the short wall!"

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Dancai Warrior, you have a Murata-style rifle in your hand. If you shoot at the short wall, you will naturally understand!"

Dan Cai took a look at the female soldier beside Zhou Charter, who bowed her head and was silent.

Dan Cai picked up his rifle and fired a shot at a short wall 100 meters away.

A flash of fire flashed on the short wall, and a stream of dust came out behind, mixed with the sound of gravel scattering - bullets penetrated the short wall and burst out gravel.

Dan Cai stared at Zhou Charter, and now she knew how powerful the Murata rifle in her hand was.

These short walls are the proud pen of the great chief Merixi. Merixi has liked to study military tactics since he was a child. He learned some arrays from ancient books and combined with modern firearms to create this battle array. She gave this battle array a nice name, called fish scale array. The short walls are like layers of fish scales, overlapping each other and forming A defense as a whole. With the fish scale array, Kanafu no longer has to worry about foreign invasion.

The group walked forward for more than a miles, passed through the rice fields, and came to the front of the village gate. There was a plaque hanging on the village door and wrote "Bailu Village". The white deer is a mythical beast in the eyes of the Zou people. It is said that a white deer brought the ancestors of the Zou people to the foot of the Jade Mountain. Since then, the Zou people have flourished here.

Name the village after the white deer, indicating that this is the territory of the chief of the Zou people!

There were Kanafu warriors guarding at the gate of the village. Seeing Dan Cai, he hurriedly made way. A group of people entered the stockade. There was a road in the stockade. There were low houses beside the road. Women, children and old and children gathered at their door to watch Zhou Charter. A group of children followed the line, playing and making faces at Zhou Charter. Zhou Charter also made faces at the children. The children were teased and bold, and they came to Zhou Charter to pull the skirts of Zhou Charter.

The Zhou Charter is the commander of the army. Even if the rank of military commander is not recognized by the imperial court, he is also an admiral according to the official title of the Qing Dynasty. He is a second-class member of the imperial court. At the beginning, when Liu Mingchuan was the governor of Taiwan, he was only a third grade. There is no such high-level official, not to mention Alishan, even the whole Taiwan. The highest administrator of the Qing Dynasty in the Alishan area is a seven-grade sesame official, and he rarely comes to the stockade.

Nowadays, Zhou Charter, a second-grade man, has entered the stockade, and the chief does not come out to pick him up. Instead, a group of children surround Zhou Charter with a hippie smile, which is really unruly. Guo Er pole was angry and shouted, "The Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty and Admiral Huguang are here. Why didn't your chief come out to greet him!"

Dan Cai looked disdainful: "The chief is busy and has no time! Even if you are free, why do you come out to greet me! What does the Qing Dynasty have to do with us? Didn't you want us for a long time?"

Dan Cai's words choked Guo Erba so much that he couldn't speak. What they said is right. The Qing Dynasty lost Taiwan to the Japanese, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty are in Taiwan, what a bad airs!

Zhou Charter was not annoyed. He gave the children small objects, bullet shells, letter paper, dry food, buttons and so on. When the children saw that Zhou Charter was kind, they became bolder and bolder and simply reached out to Zhou Charter**. Zhou Charter was itchy, embarrassed and embarrassed.

The female soldier with moles on the corners of her mouth laughed.

Guo Erbar shouted, "What are you laughing about! My eldest brother is kind-hearted and doesn't have the same knowledge as these children. Otherwise, even a dozen hardcover men can't get close to him!"

The female soldier pulled the hat and bowed her head without saying a word.

After a while, the group of children searched Zhou Charter from head to toe. Finally, a child actually put his hand into Zhou Charter's chest pocket and touched out his pocket watch.

The pocket watch was given to Zhou Charter by the Empress Zhenfei, which is very valuable. When he was in Shanghai, this pocket watch almost killed Guo Erbar, exposing Zhou Charter's whereabouts. Later, Zhenfei handed over her pocket watch to Zhang Peilun through Zhirui. Zhang Peilun took the pocket watch to Shanghai and returned it to Zhou Charter.

Guo Erbar shouted in a hurry, "I don't know what's good or not!" That's the thing of Empress Zhen, and you dare to grab it!"
