What a character Lu Xiangsheng is, the simple action of these firecrackers in front of him made him feel bright, and he couldn't help but shout: "Okay! ”

Although these sergeants in the audience only made a few simple movements, it can be seen from these simple movements that they are not simple, although this kind of neat movements is simple, but thousands of people are the same, without the long-term hard and harsh training behind them, it is absolutely impossible. And Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Wang Pu, these general soldiers were also surprised, because of the long-term guarding of the border pass, these people are a group of people who think very highly of themselves. In their opinion, in addition to the elite of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the group of Guanning iron cavalry guarding Liaodong, there are only a handful of troops that can be compared with them, but they didn't expect them to appear today, and there is an army that can compete with them on the territory of Shanxi. No...... This army is clearly more elite than the army under their command.

Just when everyone was stunned, Yue Yang shouted again: "All of them have ...... Lined up...... Advance! ”

With the sound of neat footsteps, the more than 4,000 sergeants on the playground were divided into nine phalanxes, each with 500 people. The square formation is brushing in unison, walking along the school field with neat steps. Looking down from the stage, the audience is all densely packed with firearms, and the Mitsubishi military thorns on the firecrackers are shining in the sun, and each phalanx is twenty steps apart.

I have to say that there is still a big difference between the army trained by Yue Yang and the army of the Ming Dynasty today, because most of the ancient armies used cold weapons, the military formations they conducted were more complex and cumbersome, and the exercises were more troublesome. What kind of wild goose flying array, fish scale array, round formation, etc., ordinary soldiers have not been trained for many years and cannot understand their meaning. And Yue Yang's phalanx at this time is simple and clear, it is a square battle array, although it is simple, it gives people a feeling of full power.

It is absolutely right to describe the feeling of Lu Xiangsheng and Xuanzhong at this time with a fascination, and the formation of these armies in the audience is absolutely correct. The beauty full of power greatly shocked those who usually had their eyes above the top.

At this moment, Yue Yang stretched out his right hand, brushed out the sword at his waist, pointed diagonally to the sky, took a step forward to the martial arts platform, and shouted: "I should be the ...... of the Zhou Army."

When he said this, all the sergeants in the audience shouted in unison.

"Mighty!"

"I'm Ming"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Daming Wansheng!"

The sound of thousands of people shouting in unison was not idle, and the loud sound shook the ears of the people around them. Xu Dingchen and Chen Xinjia were even more shocked.

The thousands of people on the school field walked around the school field twice before stopping, and when the sergeants all stopped, everyone was surprised to see that the formation of these phalanxes was still not chaotic at all.

"Good...... What a Yingzhou army, a good Yueyang! ”

The shock on Lu Xiangsheng's face still slowly disappeared, and was replaced by an ecstatic look, as the governor of Xuanda, he naturally understood. If he had such an elite division in his hands, once there was a war at the border pass, it would be equivalent to an extra sharp blade in his hand, if he could have known that Yue Yang still had such an elite in his hands a few months earlier, then he would not have let such an elite be placed in Yingzhou Mansion in vain, which is simply a great waste.

At this time, everyone believed that the military report reported by Yue Yang was true, and there was such an elite division in hand. It's really not impossible to cut more than 2,000.

Lu Xiangsheng retracted his gaze, nodded with satisfaction, turned to Yue Yang and said, "Yue Garrison, the soldier you trained has seen it, and it deserves the name of elite." But this officer, almost all of your troops are now firecrackers, don't you have melee weapons such as spears and knives in your army? ”

Yue Yang bowed and said: "Back to the governor's words, the last general originally equipped the army with spears, knives and other weapons, but later gradually equipped the army. The last general will gradually remove these weapons. ”

Why is that? Firearms are sharp, but they're useless when you're in close combat. Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yue Yang in surprise, he didn't understand why Yue Yang was so short-sighted, and even didn't equip the soldiers with cold weapons, you must know that firearms have been exhibited in Daming for hundreds of years, but cold weapons have always been the main force of equipment in the army, and no general has dared to say that he wants to throw away cold weapons.

Yue Yang smiled slightly: "The governor doesn't know anything. Unlike previous firearms, the last general's firearm had a longer range and greater power, and it could even shoot enemies from a distance of 200 paces. In this way, the role of spears and swords is much smaller, so except for a small number of sergeants who are also equipped, most of the generals have been withdrawn from the army. ”

"Hiss ......"

Everyone gasped in unison.

"Two hundred steps, Lord Yue, you're not mistaken!" Yang Guozhu immediately shouted. "I think the farthest Lu Mi Gong that I hit can only reach two hundred paces, and if you want to hurt someone, you have to get within a hundred steps, this has to be when the enemy is not wearing armor, Lord Yue, you won't coax me to wait?"

Yang Guozhu's words were very rude, but everyone was in no mood to pay attention to them, because they were all stunned by what Yue Yang said. With a range of 200 paces, such a luxury pit is already comparable to some small Franc machines and tiger squat cannons.

Facing everyone's doubts, Yue Yang just smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear, since Governor Lu and all the officials don't believe it, then let us speak with facts, let's go and see how the soldiers shoot now." After speaking, Yue Yang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath and said loudly: "Okay! I'm going to see what kind of firearm can hit two hundred paces away today. ”

……………………

"Putting ......"

"Bang ......"

A deafening sound of gunfire rang out over the shooting range, and a thick cloud of white smoke rose with it.

The loud noise and the white smoke and flames of the Minnie firebolt were already astonishing, and at last the crowd saw two hundred paces away, a target erected with thick planks on one side had been smashed into sawdust or torn apart.

Next to the crowd, there were three rows of sergeants with firearms, and when the first row of sergeants finished shooting, they immediately retreated, and the second row immediately followed, aiming at the target in front of them and immediately firing, followed by the third row. And after the crowd fired, the musketeer, who had been the first to finish shooting, had already taken out a piece of gunpowder and lead bullet wrapped in oiled paper from the cloth bag on his waist and put it into the chamber of the gun, sealed it with a whole strip, and then filled it with gunpowder into the powder magazine, so that the loading was complete.

"Let it go...... Put...... Put ......"

After another three volleys, the target two hundred paces away had already been smashed to pieces, and some had even been beaten to shreds, and there was no trace of them again.

After seeing the power of the firecracker, even Chen Xinjia, Xu Dingchen and others turned pale.

"What kind of fire is this, how can it be so powerful!"

Lu Xiangsheng muttered, walked up to a sergeant, took a firearm from his hand and looked at it carefully, and then exclaimed: "What a firecracker, the workmanship is so good." Yue Shoubei, why can this kind of firearm hit so far and so powerful, can you tell this official? ”

"Absolutely." Yue Yang took the barrel of the gun and explained, "Governor, please see, what is the difference between the barrels of these guns and other firearms? ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at it and said in surprise: "Huh...... Why are these lines engraved in the barrel of such a firearm? ”

"That's the secret of how far this firearm can reach." Yue Yang said: "After carving the rifle in the chamber of the gun, the range of the lead bullet can be extended several times, and the power will be greatly increased, but because this method is too difficult, no one in my Ming Dynasty craftsman can master this technique at present. The barrels of these guns were specially purchased from a Franco, and there is no stock at present. ”

These Minnie-style firecrackers were the sharpest weapons in Yue Yang's hands, and Yue Yang naturally wouldn't hand him over to others, so he took the lead in cutting off some people's thoughts.

Sure enough, as soon as Yue Yang's words fell, many people around him showed a look of disappointment in their eyes. You must know that this kind of firearm is an artifact, and the range of 200 steps plus the three-stage fire can make any enemy who attacks them desperate to death.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Yue Yang meaningfully, as if he saw the small abacus in Yue Yang's heart, but he didn't say anything.

Yue Yang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Governor, if you don't dislike it, there will be a small gift here at the end, if the governor doesn't give up, please accept it!" ”

After speaking, Yue Yang stretched out his hand behind him, and immediately a personal soldier brought a wooden box. Yue Yang took the wooden box and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng with both hands. Lu Xiangsheng took the box and opened it, only to see that the box was lined with satin, and there were two delicately made short guns quietly placed on it.

As soon as he saw these two firearms, Lu Xiangsheng immediately liked them, these two firearms were only half a foot long, the workmanship was exquisite, and the whole body was silver-gray, which was obviously a sharp weapon for killing, but it was made like a work of art. There was also a small silver kettle and more than a dozen buckshot bullets in the box.

Lu Xiangsheng took out a firearm and skillfully loaded it with gunpowder buckshot. Yue Yang hurriedly said: "Governor, this short gun has a range of up to twenty paces, and it is a weapon for self-defense. ”

Lu Xiangsheng raised the fire gun and pulled the trigger on a small tree not far away.

"Bang ......"

White smoke rose, and sawdust flew from the small tree.

"Good!" Seeing this, the generals applauded.

Lu Xiangsheng put away the firecracker, looked at it carefully, obviously he couldn't put down the short gun in his hand, and finally smiled: "Yue Shoubei, although this official never accepts gifts, but today this official will accept your 'thin gift'." ”
