Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 188 Martial Arts ([-])

Seeing that His Majesty praised the Rifle Battalion so much, Shen Lian felt a little unconvinced, and immediately stood in front of the stage and ordered:

"Cavalry battalion, divided into two teams, with new weapons on the left and old weapons on the right, attack each other!"

Hearing the order, the cavalry immediately divided into two groups, opened the distance, the two sides began to sprint, the horses gradually accelerated, the two sides quickly approached, and the fight began.

One face-to-face, just one face-to-face, the alloy sword in the left hand of the cavalry chopped off the steel knife in the right hand.

When Chongzhen and all the ministers reacted and looked again, the steel knife in the hand of the right cavalry had been broken from the middle, and the men and horses on both sides were clearly on one side.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Shen Lian ordered again:
"The two sides exchanged old weapons and hacked each other's armor!"

Qianqi Qiqi agreed "Yes!", pulled out the spare steel knife from the saddle, and charged at each other again.

The two sides approached each other, slashing at each other's armor, and heard a "clinking" sound, passing each other staggered.

When everyone looked again, the armor on the cavalry was not damaged at all. Chongzhen immediately understood the power of the armor, and asked Shen Lian to take the steel knife in the soldier's hand to check.

But being stopped by the ministers, Chongzhen had no choice but to let the ministers go down to check in person.

It didn't matter, the civil servants were just amazed by the protective ability of the armor, but the generals reached out and knocked on the armor of the soldiers, judging that the armor was light and thin, at least eighty catties lighter than the heavy armor, and its defensive ability was even higher than that of the heavy armor.

When I looked at the steel knives again, I found that most of the steel knives had curled their blades, and I was even more amazed that this armor was no different from a magic weapon on the battlefield.

Thinking in his heart, let His Majesty build some armor like this sometime.

After everyone returned to the stage and reported the situation to Chongzhen, Chongzhen felt even more grateful to his master. The new army was established, but the master didn't ask him to pay for the equipment, but he had to pay the new army's salary. Now that the new army has been formed, let He saw the hope of revitalizing Daming.

At this time, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion looked anxiously at the two commanders on the stage, hoping that the two would continue to give orders and let his 25 mortars demonstrate the power, so as to show his face in front of His Majesty.

Shen Lian and Pei Lun also saw the eager eyes of their colleagues, nodded in understanding, and Pei Lun stepped forward and said to Chongzhen:
"Your Majesty, the martial arts performance is not over yet, and there is still no martial arts performance in the artillery battalion. Please allow it!"

Hearing Pei Lun's words, Chongzhen was curious. Since he left it to the end, he must be very powerful, so he said with great interest:
"allow!"

Pei Lun replied:

"Yes!"

Turning around and walking to the front of the stage, he ordered loudly:

"The artillery battalion is out, and the target is a hillside 800 meters away from the barracks. One test shot and five rapid shots!"

Zheng Shan, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion, agreed excitedly, and immediately led his [-]-man team out and ran to the shooting range.

The ministers looked strangely at the centurion, and saw some soldiers resisting more than 20 iron pipes, some soldiers were holding an iron plate, and some soldiers were resisting wooden boxes. They didn't know what kind of troops they were.

Among the hundreds of people, a soldier has already put the iron plate on the ground, and the soldier who is resisting the iron pipe has already opened the upper bracket, and installed the iron pipe on the iron plate. The soldier who is resisting the box, opened the box, and took out a yellow-orange orange , Things that no one has ever seen.

I heard the deputy commander who led the team stand aside and shout loudly:
"The hillside 800 meters in front of the target, adjust the shooting angle, Zhu Yuan, and prepare for the test firing of the No. [-] gun position!"

The soldier on the left quickly raised his hand to measure the hillside with his thumb, then lowered his head and twisted on the iron pipe for a while, took the shell and placed it at the muzzle, and shouted:
"The adjustment is complete, you can test fire!"

The vicious leader waved his hand down and shouted:

"put!"

Then, everyone heard a "chirp", followed by a violent explosion from the hillside.

When I looked again, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the hillside, mixed with branches, gravel, and soil, splashing around.

Then the commander continued to shout:

"The target position is accurate, all artillery covers fire, and each artillery fires five rounds rapidly!"

Then all the gun positions fired shells quickly, and suddenly, there were explosions on the hillside one after another, and there were patches of gunpowder smoke on the entire hillside.

Although everyone on the stage was far away, their ears were buzzing from the sound of the explosion.

On the other hand, the people and horses on the school grounds did not panic at all, only the horses habitually shook their heads and other movements.

After a while, the sound of the explosion stopped. When everyone looked at the hillside again, they could only see a piece of trees fell down on the hillside from a distance, exposing the scorched black soil and pits on the ground.

Chongzhen looked at the hillside, and at the soldiers putting away the artillery, he was both shocked and relieved.

What was shocking was that the artillery was so powerful, with 25 artillery lined up, even tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry could defeat them!What is gratifying is that such a sharp weapon is in the hands of the master, and I am not afraid that someone will rebel with this sharp weapon.

A group of ministers looked at the more than 2000 people in the school ground with fear, and said in their hearts:
Just relying on the more than 2000 people in front of you, you can be invincible in the world. This kind of power cannot be controlled by others. You have to find a way to control it in your own hands!
So everyone praised the new army's strength one after another, and said insinuatingly how the new army obeyed the orders of the superior.

The implication is that these new troops only obey the orders of Wang Zhi alone. With such a sharp weapon in hand, if they rebel, there will be no one to stop them. Emperor, you must take precautions early and control the new army in the hands of reliable people.

Chongzhen listened to the words of the ministers, and laughed in his heart:

I don't know what your plans are yet!If you want to control this army, you are dreaming!It is not reliable to hand it over to the master!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen knew that the purpose of coming today was achieved, and let these ministers know that I have such a force in their hands, so they would not dare to make mistakes!Chongzhen said to Shen Lian and Pei Lun beside him:

"Notify Governor Wang, let's set off for the border tomorrow! I look forward to your good news!"

After finishing speaking, he got off the general platform and got on the imperial driver's seat, followed by the chief eunuch Wang Cheng'en and shouted in a high-pitched voice:

"Your Majesty returns to the palace, stand up~~~~~~!"

Looking at the leaving Chongzhen carriage, looking at the civil servants who were talking quietly all the way, and the military generals who were curious and reluctant, what Shen Lian and Pei Lun thought in their hearts was:

Fortunately, His Majesty's master is in control of the new army, otherwise, the new army will not be led by two of them!From now on, we must obey Governor Wang's orders and give him a name immediately!
After the two of them respectfully sent Chongzhen and all the ministers away, they ordered their soldiers to go back to the camp, and walked towards Wang Zhi's residence in a hurry.

In the residence, Zhuo Yifan was bragging to the monk and Gangzi about the convenience and benefits of modern society.

Seeing Shen Lian and Pei Lun push the door and walk in, Wang Zhi, who was drinking tea, looked up at them and asked casually:

"all gone?"

The two bowed and clasped fists together and said:

"Yes, His Majesty asked us to set off for the border tomorrow!"

　Ask for recommendations, collections, monthly tickets, and rewards for new books!
