Now that the heroes already understand the characteristics of the Thousand Machine Cannon, according to Zhuge Qian, practicing how to use it has become the first thing.

Under Xie Duyan's arrangement, the practice area was limited to the backyard of Dali Temple.

Outside the hospital, the disciples of the sword sect are heavily handled, and dozens of open and secret posts are set up to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

No one is allowed to take the thousand machine guns out of the backyard without authorization, and the violators will be deprived of the qualification to hold the thousand machine guns, and they will be severely punished with door rules.

The specific practice matters are in charge of Mr. Feilong Zhuge Qian and his partner Huang Ya.

In the first few days, Zhuge Qian's main practice subject was aiming, and everyone was required to be sure not to move when they were holding their guns.

He ordered everyone to line up, put up the thousand cannons in their hands, the barrels and arms must be level, and then took some stones and placed them on the smooth barrels of the thousand cannons at the flat ends of these people, requiring that the stones not slip within an hour.

This kind of test is difficult for ordinary people, but everyone present for the training is a martial arts master, so it is easy to pass this training.

In the eyes of difficult monks and He Weigui, it is much more difficult to learn how to make a thousand machine guns accurately hit the target.

According to Zhuge Qian's design, the firing power of the thousand machine cannon came from a small device similar to a crossbow machine.

It's just that crossbow bolts are usually short and easy to aim when shooting.

The ammunition of the 1000 cannon is made of a heavy copper shell, which is filled with a liquid state and does not extinguish the fire, which is heavier, which is not the same as that of a crossbow arrow, and the ammunition often has a parabolic trajectory when fired, and it is very difficult to aim.

Everyone practiced aiming and firing at the target every morning every day, and in the afternoon, Huang Ya gave a lecture to demonstrate and explain the principle of shooting and aiming to everyone, including the estimation of shooting distance, the determination of deviation value, and the influence of wind and humidity.

This knowledge is much more difficult than the collection of sub-commentaries taught by the gentleman in the school, and everyone scratches their ears and cheeks when they hear it, so that more than a month has passed, and only a few people have entered the door slightly.

Among them, Luo Jinhu learned the fastest, he was rough on the outside and fine on the inside, and after he learned it, he began to teach the brothers of the Golden Tiger Gang.

When it was difficult for the monks, He Weigui and others to master the shooting skills a little, the brothers of the Golden Tiger Gang led by Luo Jinhu had even created a kind of gun formation that had never been seen before.

This kind of gun formation adopts the method of taking turns to fire, which makes up for the defect that it takes time to reload after a round of fire from a thousand machine guns, making the enemy invulnerable.

When everyone saw this formation for the first time, they all didn't think so, and even Liu Yu didn't understand it too clearly, only Zhuge praised it, and the straight Luo Jinhu's gun formation will inevitably shine in the future war.

After a period of practice, everyone finally mastered the trick of foot shooting.

I saw that the monk was holding a twelve-barreled thousand machine cannon and shooting at a wooden target five hundred steps away, and ten of the twelve rounds of ammunition swept the wooden target, which made him very happy, "When the war comes to Japan, the Sprinkle family will shoot at the Fayan thief, and he will definitely beat his head to pieces, haha!"

He Weigui echoed: "After this thousand machine guns are matured, the effect is really amazing. If I had such a killer weapon in my early years, the Diancang Sword Sect would not have been bullied by Jin Yi's Lingnan Sword Sect and left my hometown. “

Zhuge said with a smile: "Foot shooting is just the beginning, if you want to gallop the world, you still need to learn the kung fu of shooting immediately." Charging on horseback, coming and going without a trace, with the great lethality of thousands of machine guns, no one in the world can beat it. ”

The monk frowned, "It is very difficult for the Sprinkle family to shoot while standing on the ground, and the bumps on the horse's back are too great, in my opinion, it is impossible to shoot accurately!"

He Weigui nodded, "This training is inevitably going too fast, don't hide it from Mr. Feilong, now the dozen or so disciples under my command, they really mastered the trick of infantry combat shooting a few days ago, and it is too difficult for them to shoot in cavalry combat." ”

Zhuge Qian saw that everyone was very unhappy, and when he didn't know how to speak, Luo Jinhu stood up, "Mr. Feilong, my Golden Tiger Gang is willing to try this horse battle shooting first!"

Zhuge was overjoyed, "It's up to you!"

After Luo Jinhu agreed, the rest of the people were not easy to object, so they had to follow Zhuge Qian's training plan.

According to Zhuge Qian's plan, the backyard of Dali Temple was too narrow to practice riding and archery, so he aimed at another place, that is, the residential area in the north of the city where Pei Yuan, the head of the household department, was responsible for building iron chains.

Since the people were emptied there, the surrounding area has been very quiet. The slightest suspicious person will be spotted immediately.

Since the current thousand cannons are not loaded with real non-extinguishing fires, the firing ammunition passes through the crossbow mechanism and does not make too much noise. As long as the perimeter of the house is guarded, people passing by outside can at most hear the sound of horses' hooves galloping inside, but the details of the thousand machine guns will not be leaked at all.

In addition to the field, another necessary condition for practicing riding and archery is the horse. Zhuge Qian had already done this well, and he entrusted this matter to the military advisor Xiao Heda.

For the resourceful Xiao Heda, this little thing is never difficult.

He first commissioned Gimod to purchase a batch of sweaty horses in the Western Regions, which were large, powerful, and explosive, and were first-class and excellent horses.

As for the matter of greeting the horses, Liu Yu was personally in charge.

He suspended the assassination plan of Tang Biao, Yu Xiaoliang and others, and ordered the Falcon Group to quietly go out of the city to welcome the return of this group of sweaty horses.

The guards of the Tongguan Righteous Army had already been bought by Xiao Heda, and Tang Biao and others were allowed all the way.

Tang Biao and others saved a lot of effort and rode all the way to Chang'an City unhindered, only to encounter sporadic resistance from the rebels under the city wall.

Both sides were reluctant to break out in a big battle in the cold weather, not to mention that in the eyes of many people in the rebel army, two hundred horses were just a small number, and they could not change the future fate of Chang'an City.

These sweaty horses were quietly taken to the empty residential area in the north of the city, and the monks, He may not be the first time they saw this kind of BMW, and they were all overjoyed, but as the riding and archery training began, they also found trouble and followed.

This mounted archery is no better than foot combat, and all kinds of special steps can no longer be used. And the pace is the essence of Shaolin Kung Fu and Diancang Swordsmanship, and it is not easy to make difficult monks, He Weigui and others give up their strengths.

For this reason alone, it is not an overnight thing for people to practice riding and archery.

While this group of Sword Sect elites were intensively practicing the Thousand Machine Cannons, another thing was also being carried out secretly and constantly, and that was the manufacture of not extinguishing fires.

From a certain point of view, the thousand machine cannon itself is just a continuous firing device, if there is no fire extinguishing, its function is no different from the crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms.

Not extinguishing the fire is the soul of a thousand machine guns, and with it, a thousand machine guns can be regarded as a real big killer.

The formula for not extinguishing the fire is very complicated, and it is the most powerful secret of the Zhangjian Gate's blockade to the outside, and even Liu Yu himself does not know the secret. On the one hand, Liu Yu is leading by example to everyone, telling them that there are things that should not be inquired about, and on the other hand, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Because Zhuge was poor and needed to be responsible for everyone's shooting training, he had no time to take care of the manufacture of thousands of machine fires, so this matter fell on Huang Ya's head, and Old Master Liu, as Liu Yu's most trusted person, was responsible for helping Huang Ya.

In a foggy workshop that no one knew about, Huang Ya and Mr. Liu were supervising the busyness of a dozen workers.

They sifted the black mineral powder and added it to a yellow liquid medicine, which boiled and emitted white steam, and the added mineral powder quickly turned green.

The green mineral powder gradually and completely dissolved into the liquid medicine, making the originally transparent liquid medicine darker and darker, and at the same time becoming viscous.

This is just one of the dozens of production steps that do not extinguish the fire, and this workshop is only one of the dozens in Chang'an City.

Huang Ya and Mr. Liu inspected these different workshops every day, and no one knew the exact location of these workshops except for them. The workers in each workshop are also absolutely isolated from each other, and no communication is allowed to be carried out, so as to prevent the leakage of recipes that do not extinguish the fire.
