On the day of the inspection and delivery, Euris did not show up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

One of the ministers of the castle was in charge of inspecting the goods of the Heyan family and Maier, and after confirming that there was no problem with the goods, he took Maier and the others to the school yard and asked them to inspect the goods.

The structure of the Dugu musket is so precise that it is difficult for a layman to distinguish between good and bad guns. Therefore, the minister can only inspect the goods by means of test firing, and of course, in order to prevent these laymen from "banging and banging", the ammunition required for the inspection must be paid by the buyer.

Maier picked three muskets at random, then randomly selected three sets of ammunition, walked to the shooting range with the gun, loaded the ammunition according to the minister's instructions, and prepared for a test shot. At this moment, the bird's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"The hosts! Leave this job to me! ”

"Wow!"

Maier's hand trembled and almost went off, and he secretly said that it was dangerous, and turned his head away with a straight face, and looked at the bird with displeasure.

"Who told you to come along?"

In fact, the minister only brought Maier and Heyan Zhiheng to the school to inspect the goods, but did not say that they were not allowed to bring their entourage. Sensing the loophole in the minister's words, the bird quietly followed after Mel, and the schoolyard did not treat her well. Mel was talking to the Chancellor about the musket and didn't notice the little tail behind him. He Yan Zhiheng noticed it, but he had always been afraid of the bird and didn't dare to expose her, so the bird followed Meier to the shooting range and startled him.

Seeing that the minister's face was quite sad, Xiao Tori explained with a smile: "This lord didn't say that he was not allowed to bring his entourage." ”

So the minister's mouth was blocked by the bird, and it was difficult to say anything more. This time the bird did not do anything wrong, and Mel could not blame her in front of outsiders, so he could only send her back. But the bird refused to go, and tugged at the hem of Meier's coat.

"Master~~~, just let me shoot it~~Just a shot~~~"

The little bird's coquettish appearance was very cute, and he saw that Yan Zhiheng's heart fluttered, and he quickly turned his gaze elsewhere. Mel's heart relented, and he handed her the loaded musket.

"Thank you hosts! You are the best host in the world! ”

The little bird happily took the musket and slapped the sycophants while pretending to be cute. He never hesitated to praise Meier, and was one of the most frequent patters at home - mainly because the other two maids did not know how to pat at all.

Birdie is a big fan of this ranged weapon that doesn't require distraction when aiming. She had long coveted Kiki's light crossbow, but due to the deterioration of their relationship, Little Bird couldn't cheekily ask Kiki to borrow it. Crossbows and arrows were quite expensive, and the bird didn't usually do very well, so he was too embarrassed to beg Maier to give her a light crossbow.

Now that he finally has a chance to play with firearms, of course the little bird will not let it go. When the minister and Maier were talking about firearms just now, she listened very attentively, and memorized everything after listening to it only once. She followed the way the minister had taught Myer, leveling the musket and closing one eye so that the target was just covered by the crosshair on the barrel.

Well...... It seems to be windy.

The bird licked his lips and shifted the crosshair a little. She was aiming at the round target at 20 meters, and if it was a longbow, she would have to lift the arrow up a little at that distance, because the feathered arrows would fall. In fact, the projectile also falls, but the projectile is discharged very quickly, so the fall is not as obvious as that of the feather arrow - this is the minister's original words.

Lift it up a little bit...... Just a little bit......

The bird moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, took a deep breath, and then pulled the trigger. The projectile hit the target with precision, hitting the top right of a fist-sized heart.

"Huh? Off! ”

The bird aimed at the very center of the target, but the projectile landed about half an inch away from the target. Although the Dugu musket is the most accurate musket, it is a smoothbore gun after all, and even if the accuracy is high, the trajectory is not very stable. Birdie didn't know this, so she wasn't happy with the results of the shot.

But the people behind her were surprised. The 20-meter target doesn't seem far away, but it's not close, and from the shooter's point of view, the bullseye is a small red dot, and a considerable number of people who hold a gun for the first time will find it difficult to even aim at it. But the little bird hit the heart with the first touch of the gun, which naturally shocked everyone.

It must have been just luck, right?

The crowd spoke in unison, and then they all turned their eyes to Myer, as if urging him to hurry up and hand the next gun to the birdie for another shot. Mel froze for a moment, then quickly handed the next gun and a set of ammunition to the bird. The little bird smiled when he saw Maier hand over the next gun and ammunition.

"Huh? Master, can I shoot one more shot? ”

"Hmm."

As soon as Mel nodded, the bird returned the musket to Mel, took the new musket and ammunition, and began to reload awkwardly. After she finished loading, she re-aimed at the target at 20 meters with a vengeance.

This time it must be hit!

The bird took a deep breath and pulled the trigger firmly before slowly exhaling the air in his lungs. This time she hit the heart accurately, and the score was exactly right.

"Yay!!! Hit! I hit the !! ”

The bird raised his musket in the air and screamed happily. This made the musketeers in the school field very uncomfortable, and a considerable number of them could not accurately hit the bull's-eye, but in their opinion, as long as the bullet entered the red circle, it was considered a hit, and it was unrealistic to ask for more.

Now that the novice birdie has only fired two shots, he has accurately hit the bull's-eye, and it is not blindfolded, so where does this leave the face of the musketeers? But it is not good for them to show their inner thoughts in front of the minister, because the minister's face is now very bad.

"Mr. Byrons, your subordinates—oh no, it's not the first time your maid has touched a gun, is it?"

Mel is here to buy a gun, not to slap people in the face and offend people. It's a good thing to find out that the bird has a shooting talent on the school grounds, but it's really not worth offending people because of this incident. Mayer could have lied and said that it was indeed not the first time that the bird had touched a gun, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere of the scene.

But he doesn't want to hurt the birdie, and he doesn't want to discourage her, so Mel decides to tell the truth.

"Uh...... It's a shame to say that she is indeed touching a gun for the first time. Maier smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect her to hit so accurately." ”

"Hehe, it's all the master's training!"

At this time, the bird did not forget to put a high hat on Mel. The musketeers secretly said in their hearts, if you hit accurately because your master is well-trained, then we will let your master train it, won't you be invincible in the world?

Birdie, regardless of what the others thought, returned the musket she had shot to Mel, and looked at her master expectantly. Maier, who had never played with a musket, was afraid that he would not be able to hit it and be embarrassed to appear behind the birdie, so he handed the bird a third musket and a set of ammunition.

Let's switch to the 40-meter target this time!

The birdie was confident after hitting the target with precision, and crossed the 30-metre target to aim directly at the 40-metre target. When the musketeers saw the direction she was aiming, they couldn't help but feel a little weak.

The 40-meter target shouldn't be so accurate, right?

I didn't want the bird to be discharged, and the bullet flew straight towards the red circle of the bull's-eye, hitting the bull's-eye a little to the right. The 50-meter target was not easy to confirm with the naked eye, so the minister sent a musketeer to check the target. Before the musketeer could reach the target, he saw the hole near the bull's-eye, turned around and shouted.

"Hearts!"

Now the mentality of the musketeers exploded. I practiced day after day, year after year, and in the end, my archery skills were not as good as a yellow-haired girl who had just touched a gun, and ordinary people really couldn't stand this blow. The minister's face was also pale, and when he saw that the three muskets had been test-fired, he said to Maier with a long face.

"Are you satisfied, Mr. Barrons?"

Mel didn't know what kind of satisfaction he was talking about, so he smiled wryly and nodded, and then told the bird to call the men outside, loaded the muskets and ammunition into the carriages of each family, and hurried out of the castle.

As he was catching the car, Maier couldn't help but glance back at the carriage behind him. Bird seemed to be bragging to Leaf about his experience at the range, which made him laugh and cry.

Well, of the two maids I picked up, one has a talent for magic and the other has a talent for marksman, and my luck is really good.

"Master, what's wrong?" Kiki, who was driving, asked, "Did the birds get you in trouble again?" ”

"It's not a nuisance." Maier shook his head slightly, "I was just surprised. ”

"Accident?"

"Do you know, when I was testing the gun just now, the bird shot a total of three shots, two shots were 20-meter targets, and one shot was a 40-meter target, and all three shots hit the bull's-eye."

"Huh? Birdie must have been in contact with a musket for the first time, right? ”

Everyone had seen how bad the bird's bow skills were when they were in the canopy before, so Kiki couldn't connect the words bird and archery at all. In fact, Mel is similar, at first he wanted to let the bird shoot and have fun, and then he changed himself to test the gun, but he didn't want this difference to change the bird's impression in his heart.

"yes, that's why I was surprised. I really didn't expect that Birdie still has the potential to become a sniper. ”

"Sniper...... Hit...... Hand? ”

Kiki repeated the strange word, and probably guessed the meaning of the word.

"It's someone who shoots very accurately, but the bird seems to be just a shot with a musket."

"Hmm......"

Kiki let out a lost sound. In fact, when Maier found out that Xiao Ye had a talent for magic, she was already a little unwilling. She was the first to come to Myer, but she was of little use other than housework. Now that the bird has also been discovered to have a talent for archery, she is even more unwilling.

Maier noticed Kiki's change in mood and touched her head lovingly.

"Kiki is also very powerful, she takes care of me, I can't leave you now."

"Hey......

Kiki showed an expression of enjoyment, smiled happily, and immediately felt much better. Despite this, she was determined to be more accurate in her marksmanship, at least no worse than birdie.

Now that the caravan of the Heyan family and Maier had achieved their goal, they collected a batch of grain at a fair price in Ergusburg according to the predetermined plan, and then set off in the direction of Shangjin County.

Before leaving, Yu Changnian approached Maier, hoping that he would come to Yu's house as a guest after completing this mission, and let him treat him for a few days. Maier estimated that he should be fine after this business, so he agreed to his request.

When Maier and his entourage walked along the main road towards Kamijin County, the situation in Kamijin County had changed.

The two armies have begun to send small units to test each other, and each side has its own victory or defeat. After a few days of probing, the commanders of the two armies had a general understanding of the strength of their opponents and began to prepare for the battle.

On May 26, 133 of the new calendar, the Ira coalition army, with Wei Xu as the main commander, left more than 3,000 people to defend the county seat of Shangjin, and led the main force of about 25,000 people to the north, intending to start a decisive battle with the Bujin people. After receiving the news, General North stood still and kept a close eye on the movements of the Iraa coalition forces.

On 1 June, the Ira coalition stopped their march when they were about fifteen kilometers away from the Bujinda camp and camped by water. On the 2nd of the same month, Wei Xu sent a letter of war to the Bujin, and the two armies agreed to meet on June 5 to start a battle on the plain between the two armies.
