There are two keys to making a flintlock pistol. One in the spring. This is the key to generating great momentum at the moment of firing. The ability of flint to strike to produce sparks, which in turn ignite, is a crucial point. And the other point, it is still the barrel. The barrel is a big puzzle. Handmade flintlock pistol barrels are produced in low quantities and quality is not guaranteed, of course. If they are given enough iron, they can still guarantee that they will first make iron sheets, then put in iron rods, and then roll them up little by little, and then make them into barrels, which takes a long time. Production was also very limited, that is, flintlock pistol production. It was still handmade, and it was very difficult to complete the construction work on a large scale.

That's why it's explained. Shangwu should be encouraged on a large scale, and the reward conditions given are very generous, because many things must be given enough attention to order for great advancement, and with such advancement, other problems will be solved.

In Huang Fu Song's Chinese military camp tent, Huang Fu Song had a headache. The headache is a little terrible.

"Let's see." Huangfu Song is not angry anymore. Because he felt that he couldn't command the new army in the West Garden.

"Is it a big deal?" Zhu Jun looked at Huangfu Song's situation and knew that the situation was a little bad, if Jian Shuo reduced the speed, things would be fine, but I was afraid that it would have no effect, in that case, things would become bad.

"Slowdown? Hum. Huang Fu Song seemed to be very angry, because he felt very annoyed in such a situation. Because Jian Shuo didn't stop at all, his speed accelerated a lot, and he marched thirty miles a day, which was already fast enough. But the other party suddenly raised to fifty miles a day, and it seemed that if he gave another order, the other party would definitely speed up, and in that case, the matter would really become irreparable.

"This. How's that good? Zhu Jun said worriedly after reading the military situation in the report.

"It's better to give repeated orders and let it slow down." Zhu Jun immediately realized that the situation was critical. Because the new army of Xiyuan plunged headlong into the encirclement of the Red Turban Army. And the speed seems to be fast, and the new army of the West Park will soon become a lone army.

"Nope." Huangfu Song shook his head and said.

"Gongwei. You don't know this person. If I gave the order, he would move faster and faster, and I could do nothing about it. Huangfu Song said clearly.

"But that doesn't make this any more difficult to deal with?" Zhu Jun said.

"It's better to do this, I'll repair a book and send it to Jian Shuo." Zhu Jun doesn't seem to have a good way. If the boss gives the order. But his subordinates did not listen, and he had no good way. However, if he can solve such a problem in other ways, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better.

"That's it, that's the way it can be." Huangfu Song didn't have a good way. After all, nominally, he is only the commander, but the actual leader is His Majesty the Emperor, Zhu Jun is only the nominal commander, and after arriving in the north, the command is handed over to Huangfu Song, and the Xiyuan New Army is actually an alternative. Letting such an army fight is really a great challenge to Huangfu Song's commanding authority.

3rd Infantry Brigade. The whole brigade has 6,000 people, three infantry regiments, plus more than 1,000 artillery directly under the brigade and the command. Entered the huge exercise grounds. In fact, it is the wilderness of the people's homes. Some of the bear kids were able to run to the edge to watch the drills. Several interceptions by the militia were ineffective.

"Look, look. That's a musket. "I don't know whose bear child actually climbed up the tree all at once. Because it's high enough to be seen, they're eight hundred paces away, it's a forbidden area, and the militia will patrol here in a moment, so the kids have to hurry up and see.

"Cannon, I see cannon. My eldest cousin said it. And he listened to the sound of the cannons. Just like thunder in the sky, he said that the Red Turban Army invited the thunder lord in the sky to come down. One child said.

"Rush. Come on. The bear child shouted loudly, as if they had suddenly become warriors on the battlefield, and they could exert greater power.

"It's really amazing, you see. That's artillery, glittering. It looks amazing. I saw Lei Gong. Lei Gong came down. A bear child shouted loudly. They saw the cannon, and the cannon slowly withdrew.

"Boom." A bang. The cannon made a loud noise. It's like thunder. Some of the children's legs trembled. Fortunately, they knew that this was a drill, and their curiosity outweighed their fears, and in their opinion, watching the Red Turban Army exercise was a big deal.

"Oh. Shots. Cannons too. The bear children shouted excitedly, and if it were the official army, they would be surprised.

"Rush. Brothers, rush. "The soldiers of the new 21st Regiment played the role of cavalry of the official army. They were in groups of four, with a man on top of them, brandishing spears and charging, because there were no cavalry, and they had to attack in this way. The new 21st Regiment was a new infantry regiment formed with the militia as the backbone, and they had not experienced bloody battles, so they were always ridiculed by other units of the 3rd Infantry Brigade as children's regiments. Because they have not fought, they only shout and shout and kill.

The 3rd Brigade has been expanded into a large brigade of three infantry regiments, which in fact is equivalent to the size of a division. This is Shang Wu's intention, because Shang Wu has planned it. After the battlefield battle, they had to be reorganized, and the brigade was upgraded to a division. It's an inevitable process. He wanted Ma Heng to exercise to see if he had the ability to bring out the strength of an infantry division.

"Bang bang bang. Bang. "Just as the soldiers of the 21st Regiment charged, the musketeers of the 11th Regiment on the opposite side began to exert their might. The 11th Regiment is the old backbone regiment. There are many veterans, rich combat experience, and fierce combat. When the fight started, the officers and soldiers were afraid. In terms of equipment, the regiment consisted of nearly 2,000 men and was armed with more than 900 muskets. The first regiment has never been so arrogant, this is the confidence of the eleventh regiment. The harder the fight, the better the equipment replenished, so the 11th regiment is proud.

"Go down, go down, you've been beaten with muskets." The military police were in charge of the exercise, and they transferred a company of troops to control the rhythm of the exercise, but the problem was that there was no plan at all before the exercise, and the plan was not reported twice. This is a big problem for the gendarmes. Because they have never seen such desperate soldiers in the exercise, it is too wild.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not down, Lao Tzu wants to break the military formation of his mother's eleventh regiment. Brethren, go up. "A corporal rushed up with the first of his squad, originally cavalry, and four of them could not fight, and all of a sudden, it became a group fight. Because the 21st Regiment was very annoyed, the number of muskets equipped in their regiment was only 100, and the whole regiment was more than 1,200 people, but the 11th Regiment kept bullying them. Their regiment commanders are very hot, and they can restrain each other in normal times, but during the exercise, both sides can't control it at once. Anyway, it's a drill.

"Come on." The twenty-first regiment rushed over. The Eleventh Regiment uses a Circular Formation. They were divided into battalions, a battalion of about six or seven hundred people, each battalion had more than three hundred muskets, the power was still very great, there were shields in front, pikemen in the middle, musketeers in the back, if they could, they would have an infantry cannon to help them. There are also some grenadiers who will throw**. With such a formation, as long as the opposing cavalry rushed in, they could not charge, and then began to spread out around the formation. The distance between the two circles was exactly one hundred and fifty paces, which was the best position for the musket to fire. Therefore, as long as the cavalry keeps charging inside, they will suffer heavy losses. This is the best way to deal with cavalry, as well as heavy cavalry. What Ma Heng has to do is to test whether such a formation can withstand the cavalry, because the next time they fight, they may have to face the heavy cavalry impact of the official army, and the intelligence has already supported such a point.

"Damn, you've all been beaten to death. How to come back up. The soldiers of the 11th Regiment shouted loudly. They think the other person has committed a foul.

"Whoosh. Whoosh. "The whistle kept blowing. But the officers and men of the 21st Regiment didn't care about these at all, and they directly rushed over. Then they scuffled with the soldiers of the 11th Regiment. One corner was breached, and the soldiers behind rushed up in a swarm. All of a sudden, the situation got out of control. Everyone realized that something big was going to happen.

"Oh no, it's messed up." Zhang Li put down the binoculars and said anxiously.

"Quick, fast, spaced, spaced, the gendarmerie enters, the exercises are all stopped, all stopped." As soon as Zhang Li looked at the situation, he knew that it must have been a private soldier brawl that triggered a larger-scale group fight. This kind of thing often happens when training because teams compete with each other. Competition is beneficial, and combat effectiveness has increased. But there is also a downside, that is, it is difficult for soldiers to control. Many of the soldiers became extremely agitated, and many of them did, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Many of the soldiers simply couldn't control it.

Soon, the strength of two battalions was involved, and immediately after the twenty-first regiment went crazy, the whole regiment took part in the battle. The 11th regiment is not good-tempered, it started to fight at once, this is just a drill, not a war, the temper of both regiments is not good, and a little spark will be lit.

"There was a fight. Fights began. The bear child shouted excitedly.
