Iron Dynasty

PS: There is one more chapter, and it will arrive around eleven o'clock.

Qingzhou Barracks.

It was lunch time, and the Qingzhou soldiers were sitting neatly in the cafeteria eating.

Since the reform of the Qingzhou Army, the Qingzhou Camp has a special canteen. After recruiting logistics soldiers, the Qingzhou soldiers will be responsible for their meals.

Oh, it's fried locusts again, I can't get enough of it no matter what. Lu Fei sat down on the chair, took a bite of the steamed bun, and went to pick up the fried locusts.

Although the conditions in Qingzhou are much better now, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army mainly eat steamed buns, cakes and other staple foods. Usually, it is not bad to have two or three vegetables to eat, not to mention meat. After all, 20,000 mouths are not enough. So easy to feed.

However, after Li Kaiyuan brought the fried locust dish, the Qingzhou Army finally could have a good meal every now and then.

Our Highness is really talented, Lu Fei, how did Your Highness know that this locust can eat like this? Hey, it's really impressive to see you every three days. Luo Xin sighed while eating the fried locust.

Niu Ben shook his head, this time he felt a little ashamed.

When he was in the barracks, he always ate and lived with the soldiers, and this was also a requirement for the generals. He thought he was already enjoying himself with the people, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming to go deeper into the people than him.

This time, I personally fried locusts in Dongshi for the people to eat. Now this has become a good story in the mouths of the people.

While everyone was eating, suddenly a guard from the main camp came to report, Commander, Your Highness is here.

Hearing this, Niu Ben quickly took a few bites, as did Lu Fei and Luo Xin, hurriedly grabbed a few bites of rice and walked outside the camp.

It must be the first batch of flintlock guns. Lu Fei said excitedly.

Luo Xin was a little jealous. This Lu Fei was about to get new equipment. He muttered, No matter how powerful the flintlock gun is, it's still not as good as the gun.

Bah! Lu Fei gave Luo Xin a blank look.

When the three arrived outside the camp, they saw a number of carriages followed by Xiao Ming, and the carriages were loaded with boxes one after another.

His Royal Highness, has the flintlock gun arrived? Niu Ben asked first, he was even more anxious than Lu Fei, waiting for the flintlock gun to be installed.

Because Xiao Ming said that this flintlock gun is a weapon against the barbarians.

Five hundred, this is the first batch. The military workshop said that it can provide 2,000 flintlock guns next month. It is estimated that the Qingzhou army will be able to replace them with flintlock guns in a year. Xiao Ming said with a smile. .

Hey, great, Your Highness, there is no problem with the discipline of the Qingzhou Army, and there is no problem with the battle formation. The soldiers only need to learn to operate the flintlock gun. Lu Fei laughed.

Xiao Ming nodded, Captain Niu, these five hundred flintlock guns should be equipped with the vanguard battalion. After the soldiers have eaten, let the vanguard battalion gather. This king will demonstrate how to operate the flintlock guns.

His Royal Highness, the last general you taught in the military workshop will be in the city, so don't bother Your Highness. Lu Fei was eager to try, and wanted to show off in front of the soldiers.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: That's not good. Last time it was just a test shot. This king just randomly put ammunition in it. This time it is a regular training, so I can't follow the last time.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei looked at each other, and their faces turned red. They even boasted to the soldiers, and it turned out that it was a non-standard order.

The five hundred brand-new flintlock guns were all unloaded, and the soldiers moved the muskets to the school grounds. At this time, all the soldiers of the vanguard battalion gathered at the school grounds.

They all learned that they were going to use a brand new weapon today, and their faces flushed with excitement.

The whole box of flintlock guns was moved in front of the soldiers. At this time, Xiao Ming was not in a hurry to send the flintlock guns, but prepared to explain to the soldiers.

Just like in the military workshop last time, Xiao Ming gave Lu Fei and Niu Ben a flintlock gun.

In front of you is the flintlock gun. In the future, the flintlock gun will become your weapon and your life on the battlefield. Therefore, after you get the flintlock gun, you must cherish the gun in your hands, because you can If you can't survive on the battlefield, you can only rely on them, and now, I will explain to you the structure of the flintlock gun and their function.

Facing the soldiers, Xiao Ming explained every structure on the flintlock gun and introduced its function.

The soldiers were attentive one by one, for fear of missing a word.

After the explanation, Xiao Ming turned his side to the soldier. This time, he demonstrated the normal operation of flintlock guns.

First, Xiao Ming picked up the flintlock gun and tilted it at a forty-five-degree angle to reload it. Then he said, Pay attention to my actions, first pull the lock, open the lid of the medicine pool, then take out the bullet, bite it open, and pour the gunpowder into it. The gunpowder pool, close the lid of the powder pool, then pour the gunpowder in the remaining paper shell into the barrel, and insert the bullet into the barrel with the paper shell. The bar is inserted into the barrel to ram the ammunition back and forth.

After this action was over, Xiao Ming continued: After loading the ammunition, put the slats back, raise the flintlock pistol over your shoulder, and wait for the order to shoot.

At this time, Lu Fei and Niu Ben both posed in the order that Xiao Ming said. At this time, Xiao Ming said: Fire!

Boom!

Two shots were fired, accompanied by a burst of white smoke.

The soldiers of the vanguard battalion were all stunned, and the loud sound of the musket was enough to intimidate people.

Hey, how's it going, this flintlock gun is powerful, let me tell you, 80 meters away, a shot pierced through plate armor, and then the barbarians won't be afraid of them wearing armor! Lu Fei said excitedly.

When Luo Xin saw the musket, he was a little jealous and said, Your Highness, should our artillery also be equipped with flintlock guns, or who will protect us on the battlefield?

Don't worry about this Captain Luo, I will send a few people to protect you, but you listen to me, you have to fight wherever you want. Lu Fei held a flintlock gun, a kind of I don't care who I am.

Luo Xin answered him with a disdainful look.

Xiao Ming ignored the bickering between the two, but said to Niu Ben, Captain Niu, send this flintlock gun down.

Niu Ben nodded and said to the soldiers, Come in line and lead them one by one, don't move around when you get the flintlock gun, and all obey the command.

Yes! the soldiers shouted.

The 500 people of the pioneer battalion were all equipped with flintlock guns. The soldiers stood upright one by one with their flintlock guns standing on the ground. The 500 people gathered together and looked very mighty.

Looking at the Qingzhou Army who looked like a modern army, Xiao Ming suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security in his heart, and then he shouted: Stand tighter and follow my orders.

After saying this, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben and the others stood beside the soldiers.

Then Xiao Ming asked the soldiers to stand in a column. After everyone stood up, he made a series of orders and finally shouted: Fire!
