Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 31: Equipped with firearms

   The 1,500-man Shenji battalion cannot use two thousand guns. Yang Song said to Zhuang Wei: "Send 1,500 guns to the military camp outside the city, and another gun from the artillery brigade."

   "Yes, Lord, ministers take orders!" Zhuang Wei is in charge of the equipment bureau. No matter what Yang Song plans, he only needs to complete Yang Song's orders accurately and in time.

After everything was ready, Yang Song took Li Jing, deputy director of the Military Department, Zhuang Wei of the Equipment Bureau, Yang Ren of the Post Insurance Bureau, Yang Xin of the Military Bureau, and Liu Ji, the military bureau, and came to the outside of the Apocalypse City, which is next to the Martyrs Garden. In the exclusive barracks of the battalion.

   "Chen, see you! The 1,500 people of Shenji Camp have assembled." A 30-year-old officer stood at the forefront of the array in the school field and saluted Yang Song on the general stage.

   "Exemption." Yang Song nodded to the officer, and then said: "Yan Ren, how are the soldiers?"

   This officer was suddenly the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the original infantry brigade, who used to be the commander of the squadron guarding the battalion.

  Because he has commanding experience for the strong crossbow, bow and arrow, continuous crossbow, artillery, cavalry and other arms, Yan Ren will be the commander of the newly built Shenji Battalion.

   Although it was transferred from the main army to a newly-built battalion, this battalion is directly under the monarch, and the immediate boss is the monarch Yang Song. This represents Yang Song’s trust in him, and it can be regarded as a close minister to the monarch, and the future is unlimited.

   "Enlighten you! All the soldiers of the Shenji Camp are ready to meet the challenge at any time." Excitement and doubts coexist in Yan Ren's heart, but since Yang Song has asked all questions, he had to answer seriously.

   Yan Ren led his battalion well in Shanhaiguan, and suddenly received an emperor’s order, not a general order, but a emperor’s order directly from the emperor.

   The content of the emperor's order turned out to be to transfer him back to Apocalypse City to serve as the leader of a new direct battalion newly built by the monarch. When he heard Jin Yiwei's reading, he was stunned on the spot, and did not respond for a long time.

   Yan Ren, who reacted, became very excited even with his indifferent mentality. This was a great surprise!

Until now, Yan Ren still remembers what the Lieutenant Jin Yiwei who read the Jun Order said to him: "Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Yan, we will all be working directly under Jun Shang in the future, and I will ask Lieutenant Colonel Yan to take care of him in the future. "

   After the excitement, Yan Ren saluted Lu Su, who was with him to witness, and then went directly to the main account of the infantry brigade to meet Di Qing and bid him farewell.

   But when he first took three days to ride to Linhai Town on horseback, and then took three days to reach Apocalypse City from the sea, he was quite surprised after meeting Yang Song.

   He only knew that Yang Songxin had formed a battalion called "Shenji Camp", but he didn't know what kind of army it was.

   When he came to the exclusive barracks of the Shenji Camp that had not been built for a long time, what he didn't see was a group of soldiers without any weapons, even he himself was no exception.

  Even if these fighters don't have any weapons and equipment, and only wear a black tabard, he knew from a glance that these fighters are all elite men who have experienced many battles.

   Finally, under the leadership of five captain officers, he became familiar with the composition of the soldiers in the camp, three hundred light cavalry, 900 crossbowmen, and another three hundred various fighters.

   After understanding the situation of the barracks, even if he has no weapons and equipment, Yan Ren wants to practice first in order to initially establish his prestige.

   Until now, Yang Song brought a large group of people and a large number of supplies to the barracks. Yan Ren did not know his specific mission, although he had repeatedly speculated during this period.

   "Very good." Yang Song was very satisfied that Yan Ren did not slack during this period of time, and passed his preliminary test-Yang Song's intelligence system is ubiquitous!

   "Zhuang Wei, send the weapons and equipment." Yang Song turned his head and tapped on Zhuang Wei behind him, and ordered.

   Taking advantage of the time of distributing weapons and equipment, Li Jing stepped forward and stood behind Yang Song, and said, "Your Majesty, are these muskets really that powerful?"

During this period of time, Li Jing, the deputy director of the Military Department, also knew that Yang Song ordered the Equipment Bureau to make a batch of muskets. It was said that they were a very powerful weapon, but because Yang Song issued a confidentiality order, let him do this. The deputy director also missed the specific power of this weapon.

   "Pharmacist, don't worry, you will find out in a while." Yang Song smiled mysteriously at Li Jing's question, and motioned to Li Jing not to be irritable.

  Waiting for the soldiers to receive the newly issued "new weapon", although they were all wondering what this weapon with an iron pipe and a curved wooden support was, on the surface, they all stood still seriously.

   Yang Song saw that everyone received the muskets, and said to the Jin Yiwei leader Wang Wei behind him: "Wang Wei, you go and demonstrate the use of muskets."

   "Yes, the minister obeyed!" Wang Wei, as the leader of Jinyiwei responsible for guarding the safety of the monarch, was the first to receive the musket. He has been training for several months and has been able to use this front-mounted smooth-bore flintlock musket very skillfully.

  Wang Wei carried a musket, wearing armor, and after taking the order, he walked directly to the shooting range on the side.

He came to the shooting range and stood 100 meters in front of the shooting range. He put the musket on his back on the ground with the muzzle facing up, holding the muzzle with his left hand, and pulling out a finger-long, thick thumb from the leather armor of the back with his right hand. Paper tube, tear open the red end of the paper tube with your mouth, take out a round lead ball, then pour all the maroon and black powder in the paper tube into the barrel, and then squeeze the paper tube into a ball after pouring. Tuck it into the muzzle, and then put the lead shot into the muzzle, then remove the long iron strip under the gun, stab the lead shot together with the paper ball underneath it to the end, and put the delivery stick back into the insert below the gun. Finally, Wang Wei flattened the gun, took a sharp-angled vessel from his waist, poured a little gunpowder from it into the fire door of the flintlock machine, removed the flintlock machine hammer, held the front gun body with his left hand and held it with his right hand. The handle of the gun, press the **** tightly on the right shoulder, aiming forward.

   It takes half a minute to complete a whole set of actions. This is already relatively fast. If you are a novice, the process will be longer.

Wang Wei squeezed the trigger heavily, and the hammer of the UU Reading Book www.uukanshu.com flintlock hit the iron plate above the fire door heavily, and a spark came out. The spark ignited the gunpowder inside the fire door, and the gunpowder passed along. The fire hole burns into the gun chamber inside the barrel. The gunpowder in the gun chamber burns instantly, producing a large amount of gas, which pushes the tightly sealed projectiles out along the barrel and directly towards the target of the gun. go with.

   "Bang~!" With a loud bang, a large piece of gunpowder smoke emerged from the front of the gun, and the lead shot invisible to the naked eye hit the target, leaving a small black hole in the target.

   Immediately afterwards, Wang Wei shot two more shots. The interval between each shot was about half a minute. After shooting, he closed his shot and returned to Yang Song's side, holding his fist and saying, "Go, Mr. Qi! The shooting demonstration is complete!"

"Very good." Yang Song praised Wang Wei with a smile, and then shouted to the soldiers in the audience: "This is your new weapon. The full name is the front-loaded smooth-bore flintlock. You can also call it directly. It is a musket. You have seen its power. It is a very powerful weapon."
