Guo Yi saw Zhou Dun's shooting, his eyes were a little dull, and after listening to Zhou Dun's words, he said, "Ah, well, show me." ”

A soldier ran over to remove the wooden shell from the target and brought it to Guo Yi. Guo Yi looked at the ten blackened bullet holes that were still smoking, and the shock in his heart was difficult to hide, and he couldn't speak.

Liu Neng stepped forward, thinking that Guo Yi didn't understand why the bullet hole was still smoking, so he said: "General Guo, the lead bullet used in this bird gun is often very hot, and it is easy to ignite the target when shot into the target." ”

Guo Yi knew that Liu Neng would be mistaken, pulled Xu An behind him, looked at Liu Neng, and said, "If you train with all your strength, how long will it take to train him to be the commander of the Zhou battalion?" ”

Zhou Dun had just ten bullets, which only took a little longer than a stick of incense, and each bullet hit the target accurately. Although there is still a certain gap between this speed and power compared to a marksman like Shuhu Zhuo, if an ordinary soldier is allowed to have such a long-range attack ability, he can completely destroy the cavalry that the Jin Army is proud of.

Liu Neng looked at Zhou Dun with a serious face, thought for a while, and said, "If it is General Xu, it may only take three years, but I don't dare to pack the ticket." Using a musket, like practicing martial arts, requires talent. But if you only pursue half of the ten bullets, you can be out of the division in a month. ”

The number of one month really surprised Guo Yi, a skilled archer, without several years of training, is often difficult to play on the battlefield.

"If dozens of people shoot at the same time, can we make up for the problem of too large firing intervals?" Guo Yi saw at a glance the problem with the musket. Even a musket veteran like Zhou Dun has a rate of fire that is less than half that of a master of archery.

Guo Yi's point-to-point question made Liu Neng's eyes light up, and he replied excitedly: "This is what we have been trying to improve all these years." He waved his hand, beckoned Zhou Dun to his side, and said, "You go and pull the two teams up." ”

Zhou Dun turned around and went.

Liu Neng said to Guo Yi again: "General Guo, wait a minute, I'll take two squads out to show you the effect of group battles." ”

Guo Yi nodded, Guo Yi was not in a hurry to wait for a while.

Xu An leaned on Shuhuzhuo's shoulder and said, "Who do you think will survive the confrontation between you and the surnamed Zhou." ”

"Of course it's me."

"Then why are you so excited?"

"There can be a lot of musketeers and even sharpshooters in the Quad. But archery can be like me, that's the only one. "Shuhu Zhuo spoke like a fanatic. But Xu An knew that this Shu Hu Zhuo was indeed a habit of speaking, and his seemingly exaggerated tone was often the truth. For example, now, what he said made Xu An unable to continue.

Soon, Zhou Dun came back with people, and the people who came lined up in three columns, with fifteen people in each column. After meeting Guo Yi and Liu Neng, Zhou Dun took these forty-five people to enter to prepare.

Zhou Dun stood on the side of the team and said loudly: "Line up!" ”

Fourth, the pollution quickly spread out and became a phalanx of five columns of nine people each.

"Fill the medicine!"

Forty-five people began to reload ammunition at the same time, and the speed was almost identical.

"Number one, put!"

"Bang" ten gunshots burst out almost at the same time, like a huge thunderclap.

"Number two, let's go!"

I saw that the first platoon, after releasing the musket in his hand, quickly crouched down and began to clear the chamber and load the ammunition, while the second platoon began to release the gun above the head of the first platoon.

Ten more gunshots merged into one.

"Number three, put!"

As the soldiers of the second row crouched down, ten more combined gunshots rang out.

"Number four, put."

"Bang-"

"Number Five, let's go!"

"Bang-"

"Number one, put!"

"Bang-"

……

It wasn't until each platoon had fired three bullets that Zhou Dun's command stopped. If Zhou Dun's shooting alone only gave Guo Yi hope, the demonstration of this squad undoubtedly pointed out the direction for Guo Yi.

"Mr. Guo, how is it?" Liu Neng came up and asked.

"If the musket team breaks 10,000, I'm afraid of the main city of Yan, and I'll sit on it."

As soon as Guo Yi's words came out, Liu Neng immediately glanced at the team and Zhou Dun who had not yet left, and saw that they did not have any strange reactions, looked at Guo Yi, and said, "General Guo, don't say these words." ”

Guo Yi looked at Liu Neng's demeanor, understood what Liu Neng meant, and said: "Only forty-five people can have such power, if thousands of people shoot together, how can it be spectacular." ”

"Mr. Guo, your time is too short." Liu Neng smiled, but the smile was somewhat dissatisfied.

Guo Yi saw the emotion in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, it will change." ”

Liu Neng smiled, waved his hand and ordered Zhou Dun to take people down.

"Can we make this musket ourselves?" Guo Yi looked at the muskets on the backs of the group of soldiers and asked.

"If you want good quality, of course, you still have to buy it from those caravans from the West, but the price is not cheap. You can also build it yourself, but the ones you make are often easy to blow up and hurt people, and there is a big gap in range and power. ”

"The entire four bathrooms, how much is the annual expenditure."

"The only thing I can get is more than 100,000 taels of silver."

"Not enough?"

"Not enough."

"How much worse?"

"It's a lot worse."

"How's the five guards?"

"It's even worse." Liu Neng smiled awkwardly.

And Guo Yi remembered the document he saw on the table in the tent at noon, and probably calculated in his heart, and exchanged it for the tax of the entire Datong City, which was too high for Datong City to afford.

"Except for the four guards and the five guards, is this the case for the other guards?"

"Probably not, they can still have a surplus every year to pay the soldiers."

Guo Yi pondered in her heart, it turned out that the two brothers Liu Neng and Chai Yun were mixed into Liu Pu's boat, and they were actually forced to be poor.

"I will find a way, in the future, this musket and artillery will only increase, not decrease." Guo Yi gave his first promise to come to the Quartet Army.

Hearing this, Liu Neng shrugged his spirits, fell to the ground, and said: "Liu Neng is willing to follow the general army before and after the saddle." ”

Guo Yi helped him up and said, "You don't have to be like this, you and I are just here to protect the people." ”

Xu An and Shu Huzhuo were a little dazed when they listened to the conversation between Liu Neng and Guo Yi at this moment. After all, Xu An was born in Tianjing, and he was the nephew of Xu De, the king of Qin, and he never worried about money, but when he heard that 100,000 taels was not enough for the operation of a fourth guard, and it was even much worse, he was startled by the terrifying wear and tear of the musket. And Shu Huzhuo has never thought about what the concept of my two taels of silver is in his life, and he is still calculating in his heart at the moment, how many hundred taels of silver is 100,000 taels.

A soldier came running from outside, saluted Guo Yi and Liu Neng, and said, "Chief Guo Bing, Liu Jingjun, please move, the artillery has been arranged." ”

Liu Neng once again ran in front to lead the way, and walked back with Guo Yi and the others.
