Chapter 54 Bringing the United States to Watch the Target

As mentioned last time, Liu Hou personally demonstrated the benefits of rattan armor, Zhou Xue did not break the rattan armor with a trick, and finally became angry and slashed at Liu Hou's body, but it couldn't cause any harm to Liu Hou, and even if she deliberately picked these parts of the neck to cut it was useless, these places also had rattan armor covers, which could not hurt Liu Hou in the slightest.

It's only because she has too little strength, if she changes to top generals like Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, it is not difficult to break the armor with one sword.

Just as Zhou Xue wanted to move on Liu Hou's only exposed part - his eyes, Liu Hou shouted: "Okay, okay, stop, you've tried enough, I didn't lie to you, my rattan armor is really invulnerable." ”

Zhou Xue didn't want to stop, but the soldiers who hadn't moved just now poured up from the left and right, and someone snatched the saber from her hand, so she had to stop her plan to continue to assassinate Liu Hou, and stood there panting.

Liu Hou also stood up with the support of the two pro-soldiers and began to take off his rattan armor. While taking it off, he said, "How is it?" With this set of invulnerable rattan armor, will my soldiers be able to concentrate on slashing the enemy without worrying about their own safety? Do they still need to practice defensive moves in this way? ”

He didn't realize that Zhou Xue really wanted to kill himself just now, and he still vigorously explained the benefits of the rattan armor to Zhou Xue.

"Humph! Of course, this set of rattan armor is a rare treasure armor, but how many such armors can there be? Maybe you only have one, but there are ten of them, and what effect can such a small number play in a war of tens of thousands of people? Zhou Xue said very unhappily.

"Hehe......" Liu Houdao, who finally took off his cuirass, "I'm sorry, I have 30,000 pieces of such rattan armor, which is enough to arm 30,000 people." ”

"Three, 30,000 pieces of ......" Zhou Xue was stunned, if there were 30,000 such invulnerable vine armor army, how could the battle of Dongwu be fought? There are 30,000 invulnerable monsters, enough for this prince to sweep the world, there is absolutely no army in the world that can resist such an invulnerable army, no wonder Master Bu is so jealous of this prince.

Zhou Xue wasn't worried that Liu Hou was lying, since he said that there were 30,000, there must be 30,000. Because such a lie is easy to be exposed, as long as he asks him to take out the 30,000 vine armor army to see, if he has it, he will definitely not disagree, so it is impossible for him to lie.

However, she thinks that there are 30,000 rattan armies that can be invincible in the world, obviously thinking too simply, in this era, there are so many heroes in the world, and the resourceful people are like carp crossing the river, as long as Liu Hou's rattan armies show up a few more times, there must be smart people who can come up with a way to crack it.

Liu Hou can grasp the weaknesses of the original vine armor army and capture them all alive, and others may not be able to find their weaknesses, otherwise there will be no allusion to "burning the vine armor army" in history.

Before Zhou Xue could recover from the shock, Liu Hou pulled her over the training ground and towards the back of the mountain. Zhou Xue was immersed in shock and worry about the future of Soochow, and she didn't even notice that Liu Hou was holding her hand and was taken advantage of by Liu Hou.

Liu Hou pulled Zhou Xue's white and slippery little hand, his heart was full of joy, and he was in his heart all the way. Until he heard the "bang" gunfire in the back mountain, Zhou Xue woke up. Zhou Xue, who came to her senses, saw Liu Hou holding her hand, hurriedly pulled her hand back, and scolded "Hooligans!" ”

Liu Hou laughed twice, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he said flatteringly: "I'll take you to see the most powerful weapon and the most powerful unit of our Shu army." ”

When Zhou Xue heard this, she threw Liu Hou out of the clouds when she took advantage of the chaos to hold her little hand, thinking that she would be able to spy on the core secrets of the Shu Army immediately, and her heart thumped.

Turning to the back mountain, the gunfire became deafening, and Zhou Xue subconsciously covered her ears with her hands. Liu Hou took out two corks the thickness of his little finger, stuffed them into his ears, took out two more, handed them to Zhou Xue, and motioned for her to plug them too.

This kind of cork is made of the bark of some kind of big tree, which is elastic, and Liu Hou asked the craftsman to make it suitable for the size of the ear hole, polish it smooth, and use it to plug the ear to prevent noise, and the effect is not bad.

Zhou Xue did the same, and according to Liu Hou's practice, she stuffed the cork into her ears, and suddenly felt that the world was much quieter. The thumping sound could still be heard, but it no longer had the power to shake the heart.

The back hill is a shooting range, and three rows of soldiers are lining up for target shooting exercises. Zhou Xue thought it was strange that only one row of these three rows of soldiers stood at any given moment, and the other two rows were squatting. The standing platoon raised an iron pipe to the shoulder, with one eye closed and the other open, tilted its head against the iron pipe, and then listened only to the "bang", and the iron pipe emitted fire and black smoke.

After doing this, the platoon of soldiers squatted down, stabbed an iron bar into the iron pipe, smashed it a few times, and then poured something into the iron pipe.

At the same time, another platoon of soldiers stood up and repeated the movements of the same platoon of soldiers. The three platoons of soldiers kept doing these actions in turn, causing smoke to billowing from the scene. Zhou Xue twitched her beautiful nose, and her nose also smelled a very uncomfortable smell, which made her feel a little unhappy.

"See, this is my musket team, they are my best killer at the moment. Behold the muskets in their hands, and when they hit a man, he who was in the middle of them died. Liu Hou said as he pointed to a row of targets with concentric circles about 100 meters in front of the musketeers.

At this time, Zhou Xue found those targets, only to see that every time this side was shot, the target fell, and soon, a new target was erected again for another musketeer to shoot. Zhou Xue felt very strange, this qiē was something she had never seen or heard of, and many things were beyond her comprehension.

"There was a pit under those targets, and there were people hiding in the pits, and after the shots were fired, these people took the targets down and counted the results. They usually use charcoal to circle the place where the shot was shot, indicating that the bullet holes here have been counted, and then put the gun target back up for the soldiers behind to continue shooting. Unless the target paper is broken, they will replace it with a new one. ”

Regarding Liu Hou's explanation, Zhou Xue didn't understand anything. She knew that they also used grass targets in archery in the Eastern Wu Army, which was a circular target woven from grass, and she didn't understand what target paper was, so she directly listened to it as a target.

"What the hell is this? Why is it so loud? Because the scene was very loud and they plugged their ears again, Zhou Xue had to put her mouth close to Liu Hou's ear and speak loudly, which made Liu Hou feel a tingling sensation all over his body.

Liu Hou's words were also close to her ears, looking at her small white ears and side face, the adolescent hormones in Liu Hou's body rose sharply.

He liked this form of communication very much, and wished that he could talk like this for a longer time, so he explained it in detail.

"These are muskets, and you can think of them as a very powerful hidden weapon, or a crossbow arrow. They make loud noises because of the violent explosion of gunpowder inside, which is the explosion. The thrust generated by the explosion shoots the projectile out, and because of this force, it can hit a long distance, and if it hits a person, it will make a hole. ”

"Is this thing more powerful than a bow and arrow?" Zhou Xue finally figured out that this was a long-range attack weapon, and it was the same thing as a bow and arrow. When she spoke, she put her red and beautiful little mouth to Liu Hou's ear, and a faint body fragrance couldn't even hide the smell of gunsmoke at the scene, and it got into Liu Hou's nose, making him even more confused.

"Yes, it has a slightly longer range than a bow and arrow, and its strength is stronger than that of a bow and arrow, and it can penetrate ordinary armor, and ordinary shields cannot stop it. Recently, you Soochow seem to have made some thickened shields that can block them on a certain distance.

However, this kind of shield is clumsy, costly, and few in number, so if our two countries fight again, your Soochow army will still lose. Liu Hou leaned over to Zhou Xue's ear and took the opportunity to explain while admiring her beauty.

"Then, if, let the shield soldiers cover in front and the archers get closer and shoot arrows, wouldn't it be the same to deal with you?" Zhou Xue was unconvinced.

"Hehe, if that's the case, we can also use shield soldiers, and have you forgotten that we still have vine armor soldiers? They are not afraid of bows and arrows, let them rush over, and in an instant they will scatter your shieldmen. Liu Houdao.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, musketeers also have the advantage that they can fire many guns in a row without getting tired, unlike archers, who will be so tired that they can't pull the bowstring after pulling the bow and shooting arrows a few times." After a pause, Liu Hou added. In fact, if you shoot too much, the barrel of the musket will also heat up, of course, this kind of thing that exposes weaknesses, Liu Hou will naturally not say it.

Zhou Xue imagined the terrifying scene of the first-class defensive rattan armor soldiers and this terrifying musketeer fighting together, and couldn't help but feel chills all over her body.

If when she saw the vine armor army just now, she still had doubts about whether this vine armor army could sweep the world, then now that she looks at this musketeer, she no longer has any doubts about this prince being able to unify the world. The army of Eastern Wu, in front of this prince's army, is an ant, a scumbag, and it is not even qualified to fight against it.

By this time, the musketeers had completed their shooting training, and when a whistle sounded, the targets were all put away, and three score cards were held up at the position of each target, representing each person's score. Of course, each person's results will be recorded by the recorder in the pit under the target, and they will be sent to the officers when the time comes.

Then the musketeers marched out of the range and were replaced by another group of soldiers. Due to limited resources, the Shu army can only practice live ammunition once every ten days. In peacetime, most of them are training queues, loading, firearm maintenance, bayonet fighting, long-distance weight-bearing training, ideological and political training, military discipline and other subjects.

Looking at the soldiers who had just entered the field and restarted their shooting training, Zhou Xue fell into an inextricable shock again. He didn't even know that Liu Hou took her hand and walked out of the shooting range.

Not long after walking out of the shooting range, just as Liu Hou wanted to take Zhou Xue to inspect other places, a scout came to report: "I found that the Dongwu Brigade had left the city, with about 10,000 people, and went straight to the upper reaches of the Yuejiang River." ”
