From eunuch to emperor

valley.

The recruits lined up, poured gunpowder from their waists into the barrels, and stuffed the pellets into them.

After compaction, raise the flintlock and shoot at the target.

One row of shooting, one row of preparation, and one row of loading, shortening the shooting interval in the form of three rows.

The movements of the recruits became more and more proficient, and the effect of the training began to appear.

Soldiers began to get used to this new weapon, knowing the range and lethality after firing.

Compared with crossbows, flintlock guns have a much longer firing interval.

Skilled crossbowmen shoot quickly, much faster than gunners.

The most powerful part of the new army lies in the artillery. After he is proficient with the flintlock, Long Chen will start training artillery shooting.

Hu Qiaotong and Yue Sisi were leading the musketeers to shoot in formation. There were continuous crackling sounds, and bursts of smoke spewed out from the muzzles of the guns.

"Long Chengen!"

Just when Long Chen was about to call Mei Yu over to train the artillery alone, Gongsun Linglong strode over angrily from behind.

"Master Gongsun, are you okay? Are you not sick?"

Long Chen joked with a smile.

In the room just now, Gongsun Linglong was holding on to the window, Long Chen was standing behind, and happened to bump into Huang Ying.

Huang Ying saw that Gongsun Linglong looked sick, and was even questioned.

Gongsun Linglong said angrily: "I said earlier that I would be found standing by the window, if you still want to do that, next time I will castrate you!"

Long Chen smiled and said: "It's none of my business, what Huang Ying saw was you, but she didn't see me."

"Besides, don't blame me just now, you asked for it yourself, I just obeyed Master Gongsun's request to do things."

Just now in the room, Long Chen didn't plan to do anything.

Gongsun Linglong herself fell in love with that feeling, and asked Long Chen to do something.

As a kind and considerate man, Long Chen would of course follow suit.

As a result, Huang Ying passed by the window.

"I asked for it, but I didn't say it was by the window. It was you who said that looking at the snow scene made me feel better."

Gongsun Linglong was still angry and clenched her fists tightly.

Long Chen smiled and said: "It's all an accident, if there is a mistake, it's Huang Ying who shouldn't have passed by."

"Originally, it was nice to see the snow scene when you were in front of me, and you were twice as happy. It was embarrassing when Huang Ying came over."

Gongsun Linglong was so angry that her face turned red, Long Chen coaxed her nicely: "Okay, I won't play like this next time, it's very cold, the bed is quite warm."

Gongsun Linglong said angrily, "I won't agree to your weird requests from now on."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Alright, I promise I won't ask you to do weird things in the future."

Only then did Gongsun Linglong calm down her anger.

After more than two months of training, the musketeers walked forward and back in an orderly manner, poured gunpowder, filled the projectiles, and then shot.

The connection between the teams has been very skilled.

"They are very proficient in their movements now. At the beginning, the gunpowder was always poured out, and the projectiles were not accurate."

Gongsun Linglong taught them how to use muskets, how to aim at three points and one line, and watched them grow up with their own eyes.

"We still need to continue shooting, and we need to give enough gunpowder and projectiles. A good shooter needs to be fed with bullets."

"How much gunpowder is poured in and how hard it is when compacted, all these will affect the shooting effect."

"And all of these require continuous shooting to accumulate experience."

Long Chen doesn't expect these people to be smart, he believes that practice makes perfect.

Gongsun Linglong agreed with Long Chen's statement: "If you do it a few times, you will become proficient. Soldiers are trained like this."

Long Chen suddenly reached out and patted his buttocks, and said meaningfully: "It's all done through practice, and you are very proficient now."

Gongsun Linglong didn't know it before, the two of them didn't cooperate well, and sometimes they felt uncomfortable.

Later, the first time was raw and the second time was familiar, and the third time and fourth time asked actively.

The two now cooperate tacitly and are very satisfied with each other.

Gongsun Linglong raised her chin, showing her bright teeth, made a fierce look, and said angrily: "If you keep doing this, I will really bite you off! Molesting me all day long!"

Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, stop making trouble, call Mei Yu over, we are going to start artillery training."

Gongsun Linglong's eyes were wide open, she gritted her teeth and stared at Long Chen for a long while before turning to look for Meiyu.

Looking at Gongsun Linglong's back, those long legs, those hips...

"You can't make her anxious. The rabbit will bite when it is anxious. If you really cripple me, then you will really become an eunuch."

Long Chen shook his head and smiled, thinking that he should not be too flirtatious in the future.

Gongsun Linglong's personality is more masculine, plus she is the granddaughter of Lao Zhuguo, a real queen, a lady of every family, and her personality is different from others.

Zhang Qian and the others can flirt with each other anytime, anywhere, and do whatever they want.

Gongsun Linglong is different, she just flirts casually when she enters the room.

When she went outside, she didn't like Long Chen like this.

Not long after, Mei Yu, Lieutenant of the Artillery Academy, followed Gongsun Linglong.

"Meet King Wu."

Mei Yu hands over to see.

Long Chen asked: "Two months of training, how do you feel?"

Mei Yu replied: "Very good, the general is already proficient in handling muskets and can shoot accurately."

"The difference between muskets and crossbows is really big. The deviation of projectiles is smaller than that of crossbows, so you can aim wherever you aim."

Feathered arrows are heavy and are greatly affected by wind and gravity. When shooting an arrow, it is actually an arc, and the landing point is difficult to control.

The ammunition of muskets is much easier to control than that of crossbows.

"Very well, starting today, you will no longer practice musketry."

Mei Yu was stunned, and asked, "We don't practice musketry? Then what do we practice?"

Long Chen said: "Hu Qiaotong and Yue Sisi are Musketeers, they practice musket shooting."

"You are different. You are an artillery soldier. Of course you have to practice artillery."

Since entering Linglong Pavilion, Mei Yu has practiced musket shooting with others, but she has never seen a cannon, and she doesn't even know that it exists.

Long Chen arranged this way to let them know the basic knowledge of gunpowder first, and have a process of slowly accepting it.

Now that the musket is learned and the power of gunpowder is known, it is time to start practicing artillery.

"artillery?"

Mei Yu looked at Gongsun Linglong suspiciously.

Gongsun Linglong thought for a while, but she didn't know how to explain it. She gestured with both hands and said, "It's...a big musket. It's big, and the projectile is also big."

Mei Yu felt strange, and said, "Is it an oversized musket?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't listen to her nonsense, call people over, let's go to the special artillery training ground."

Mei Yu was very curious about what this oversized musket looked like.

"The last general takes orders!"

Mei Yu immediately summoned a thousand artillery troops, and followed Long Chen and Gongsun Linglong to the artillery practice field.

Twenty cannons were fixed on the car, lined up, facing the distant stone wall.

Each cannon is about 3 meters long and has a caliber of 120mm. The cannon is very heavy and is fixed on a specially reinforced vehicle.

When they saw the artillery, Mei Yu and her soldiers were shocked.

"This... what is this?"

"Is this a musket too?"

"This musket is too big, it needs at least two horses to pull it."

"If this is a musket, can you hold it up and shoot?"

The soldiers talked a lot and were shocked by the size of the cannon.

Mei Yu asked Gongsun Linglong: "Commander, is this the cannon that King Wu talked about?"
