The musket battalion had been set up in the afternoon, and the veterans of the official positions had been drawn into the musket battalion army. At present, this musket battalion is still under the jurisdiction of the first regiment of recruits, and Liu Xia did not let him become independent.

When the musket battalion was set up in the afternoon, the five hundred brand-new muskets were brought to the camp of the musket battalion. Liu Xia attaches great importance to the musket battalion. So I found a training camp for the musket battalion, the camp is located in a deep mountain in the south of the Tiger Prison Pass, which was originally a deserted military academy, although it is a little dilapidated, but it is still usable, and there is no one on the left and right, you can conduct shooting training at will, and you don't have to worry about hurting ordinary people.

When the musket arrived at the musket battalion, the battalion commander fired the musket. The battalion commander is the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the Huben Regiment, named Chen Lijun, with the rank of Fenwei Lieutenant, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the musket battalion, and Liu Xia personally awarded him the rank of Yangwu Academy.

Chen Lifu is also a veteran, who has been a soldier for more than 20 years and has experienced a lot of wars. In the previous army, he was a musketeer, but fortunately he was lucky, and he did not use a musket with an exploding breech, but watching the brothers around him being injured or even killed one by one because of the musket explosion, his heart was gradually filled with fear.

I thought that I would never touch muskets again in this life, but seeing this batch of muskets that were transported, Chen Lifu could see that these musketeers were not the same as the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, and the quality was low. When Liu Dazhuang returned to the army to select people, he took the initiative to sign up. He had mixed feelings about muskets.

"Remember to Lao Tzu, this iron rod is a musket, and you will be a musketeer in the future. You are lucky, the general attaches great importance to muskets, and you will have a great future in the future! ”

"Battalion commander, what do you say about this musket, we also watched the performance of those people from the logistics department in the morning, but it was far away, so I didn't see it clearly." A soldier asked.

Chen Lijun didn't understand this improved musket too much, so he took the musket in his hand and looked left and right, and then said, "Get me some **, I'll fill in **." ”

The soldier next to him said: "General, we don't have a **!" Only these paper tubes were shipped by the Logistics Division. I don't know what these paper tubes are for, and they all carry a lead. ”

Chen Lijun turned around, took a paper tube in his hand, and then tore off the layer of paper, only to see that it was filled with black **, and said in surprise: "These paper tubes are filled with **, you take it and grab it, I will pour these ** into the chamber of the gun." ”

After that, Chen Lijun poured the ** in the straight barrel into the chamber, and then more than 20 people came from outside, and the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, he saw Chen Lifu early in the morning with a pair of eagle eyes, and then saw Chen Lifu pour ** into the chamber of the gun, so he hurriedly ran forward and shouted: "Battalion Commander Chen, Battalion Commander Chen." What are you doing? ”

"I'm pouring **! Launching the musket, the people in your logistics department are really thoughtful, and it is really convenient to pour ** into the paper tube. Chen Lifu said with a smile.

The leader sighed and said, "Battalion Commander Chen, this musket is not used like this. You don't have to tear the paper tube! ”

Chen Lifu was a little unconvinced, because the muskets he used before were all directly loaded, so he said: "Aren't muskets used like this?" ”

The leader said, "No, it's the old musket, and now we're a new musket." Just put the paper tube into it, and then light the fire rope on the top of the paper tube, no need to pour it in**.

As he spoke, the leader picked up a musket next to him, then loaded it into a paper tube, and finally put in a buckshot. As soon as the tongue of fire was lit, I heard a 'bang', and the wall not far away was dented by lead bullet. ”

"That's amazing! You don't even have to pretend to be **! ”

"What don't you need to pretend**, you didn't see the paper tube just now, it's all **, but you don't have to pour it yourself**, it's so much more convenient." The soldiers shouted and shouted.

"Good stuff, good stuff. This paper tube is really good stuff. Do they have names? Chen Lifu asked.

The leader said: "We have become a fire bomb for this paper tube, and we only need to put it in it to ignite and launch." This idea is still from the general, so that it can be used by the soldiers, and we all have to thank the general! ”

"Long live the General! Long live the general! ”

"We are members of the Logistics Division, and in the coming days, we will be assisting you in training in the use of muskets. When you're ready, we can head to the training ground in Nanshan. ”

----------

"Governor, we have not encountered a single enemy along the way, not even seen an enemy scout. Isn't that too calm, a little weird? A middle-aged general said to Wang Wenkui.

At this time, they were resting in the county seat of Minxiang County, and after arriving in the county seat yesterday, Wang Wenkui did not immediately order to advance again, but chose to rest on the spot. Because Wang Wenkui is also greedy for life and afraid of death. If he wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't be willing to be a lackey of the Manchurians and a traitor.

After hearing this, Wang Wenkui sneered and said, "What can be weird? It must have been the enemy who heard that we had sent 20,000 troops, and they were frightened and hid in the pass. Prepare to guard the Hangu Pass to prevent us from entering. The area around Min Township is still far from Nahan Valley Pass, and of course there will be no trace of them. ”

The general said: "As far as the last general knows, Liu Xia's subordinates are not such people......"

"Is it such a person, you have never seen it, how can you know? What's more, it was because they had never encountered tens of thousands of troops coming to attack before, and now that hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing the border, where do they dare to come out? I'm afraid I've been scared for a long time. ”

The general wanted to say something, but seeing Wang Wenkui's impatient look, he closed his mouth in amusement.

Wang Wenkui is afraid of death, but he still wants to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, and now his official position has been achieved as the governor of Shaanxi, if he still wants to rise further, he can only make more military achievements, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead.

"Okay, you don't have to think about it so much, arrange for the soldiers to rest for a while, and then we'll set off. It's up to you to be the vanguard. The Governor is in charge of the Chinese Army. Wang Wenkui said with a straight face, if ordinary people saw Wang Wenkui's appearance, they really thought that he was a handsome talent, but as an old man who had been by Wang Wenkui's side for so long, although this general could not see a different color on his face, he had already scolded Wang Wenkui's name with disgust in his heart.

"Yes, Governor. Subordinates obey! ”

Shaanzhou City, the temporary combat command center, at this time, Chen Liu, Mingjun and others were gathering together to discuss.

I only heard Ma Peng, the head of the Lion Diagram, shouting: "Wang Wenkui, this old thing, why didn't he leave when he arrived in Minxiang?" What an old fox. ”

Chen Liu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Captain Ma, Wang Wenkui is just timid and afraid, and it won't be long before Wang Wenkui will automatically enter the encirclement." ”

Yu Mingjun frowned and said, "It's time for me to leave, take advantage of this time to bypass Wang Wenkui and enter the rear of Min Township, and then attack Tongguan." As for the military affairs here, there is Lao Chen's military division. ”

Chen Liu smiled and said: "What the general said, we are all fighting for the general and the Han nation." ”

"For the general! For the sake of the big man! ”

"The general just goes, don't worry about the rear, although Chen is not talented, but he is also very sure of dealing with this Wang Wenkui." Chen Liu habitually took out the feather fan in his hand and swayed it, although it was autumn now, but Chen Liu, who was self-proclaimed Zhuge in the world, was always like this.

"If there is a military advisor, then I will put my mind at ease, and I will take Tongguan in a few days. The soldiers of my Eagle Yang Battalion want to show all the soldiers that they are the most elite elite. Yu Mingjun said proudly.

"Without further ado, the general can leave today and go to Hangu Pass."

Meng Yu of Luoyang City personally led the team to walk towards a house that didn't look too big, but it wasn't too big.

"My lord, this is where the owner of the letter lives." The man dressed as an ordinary peasant said to Meng Yu.

Meng Yu frowned and said, "Come on, block the exits of this courtyard and forcibly enter." Dare to betray the general and have an affair with the enemy, it's really impatient. ”

With Meng Yu's order, dozens of dragon group members quickly dispersed left and right, guarding all the exits, and some people patrolled outside the courtyard wall. Prevent someone from escaping the wall.

"Knock on the door and enter."

"Bell Bell Bell"

There was a knock on the door, but no one came out to open the door after a few minutes of knocking. Meng Yu said angrily: "Push the door and enter." ”

"Yes!"

"Bang! Boom! Several people kept stepping on it, and the wooden door slammed into the ground in an instant, splashing a pile of dust.

"Someone, someone." Out of the courtyard came several housekeepers with wooden sticks, guarding the entrance.

Meng Yu shouted angrily: "Quickly put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be killed." ”

Those family members, you look at me, I look at you, with a look of bewilderment on his face, but the wooden stick in his hand was not put down because of Meng Yu's words.

Where did Meng Yu have time to give them verbosity, his eyes moved, and the soldiers next to him immediately understood the meaning, so several people went up and slashed and killed a family member, blood sprayed, splashing on several people. Those family members were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, and then knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look at Meng Yu.

Meng Yu said: "Liu Xia and the two of them are guarding them, and the rest of the people follow the official in." They all looked around carefully, and they couldn't let go of a person. ”

"Yes, yes"

Dozens of dragon group members ran to the various rooms in the courtyard one after another, and at this time, chickens and dogs jumped in the courtyard, and many maids and maids ran around.
