Xiao Ruxun expected that the northern captives would run to the north, so he arranged his Zhennan Army musket team in the north, with a thousand muskets ready to fire, and a thousand gunners and a thousand shield soldiers lined up in formation.

Wang Hui watched Li Rusong fight happily with the cavalry, earning an unknown amount of first-class credit, and he was also very envious in his heart, but Xiao Ruxun gave him a very good character, and asked him to form a formation in the north of Datong, ready to intercept and kill the people who escaped from the north.

Wang Hui never doubted Xiao Ruxun's order, this was his instinct as a pro-soldier general, people from pro-soldier backgrounds have a kind of obedience similar to instinct for Xiao Ruxun, compared to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they are Xiao Ruxun's real private soldiers, Xiao Ruxun's orders are more effective for them than the emperor's holy decree.

In the Zhennan Army, Xiao Ruxun constantly promoted excellent soldiers as his own soldiers, and after a while, he put them back into the army to serve as grassroots officials.

Instill in these soldiers the idea of being loyal to themselves, and then throw them back to the grassroots level of the army, making sure that they have the whole unit in their hands from the grassroots level.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun was able to repeatedly use abnormal means to skip the command of a certain unit, and the troops have become accustomed to obeying Xiao Ruxun's orders instead of the orders of the general, which is one of Xiao Ruxun's greatest achievements to the army in the past three years.

There is no way, this is also forced, Xiao Ruxun is not Qi Jiguang, he has no power to fight back against the liquidation of those civil servants in the court, Xiao Ruxun will not be arrested like Qi Jiguang.

If the civilian officials plan to do something to him, he will definitely fight back, so this rare army must be firmly controlled in their own hands, they are the basis for their own resistance to the civilian group, they have soldiers in their hands, and they do not panic.

After receiving Xiao Ruxun's order, Wang Hui ordered the artillery to bombard the encirclement of the northern captives to open up the situation for the cavalry troops, and then directly led the troops to the back of Datong City to line up.

The firearms were lined up, and the soldiers were asked to load their ammunition, then they loaded the extra guns with ammunition, prepared the paper packets, checked whether there were no problems with their guns and ammunition, and then waited in formation.

When the spies sent to the front came back to report that the routed soldiers of the northern captives had fled here with their families, Wang Hui immediately ordered the soldiers to light the fire and be cautious.

A faint smell of fireworks and subtle smell filled the world, and Wang Hui didn't know how Xiao Ruxun knew that soaking the fire rope in urine and then drying it could increase the use time of the fire rope and make the fire rope burn a little slower.

Xiao Ruxun never explained, but it was true that he used it, so he didn't care, anyway, he was a little sassy, and he didn't have a lot of urine, right? It's all big men, who doesn't pee every day?

The fire rope was caught on the shelf by the soldiers with smoke and aimed at the mouth of Mars, and when the Beiyu appeared in front of them, and only when Wang Hui gave the order to shoot, they would use the trained three-stage attack method to the fullest.

Wang Hui was staring at his front when Xiao Ruxun's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"How, is the North captive here?"

Wang Hui was shocked when he turned around and saw Xiao Ruxun and Xu Guangqi standing behind him.

"Shiro? This...... It's going to be a battlefield right now! It's dangerous! ”

Xiao Ruxun laughed: "It's okay, Mr. Xu wants to see how our musket team fights, so I'll take him to take a look, and besides, I can also give you a little help with these three hundred flintlock guns, right?" The flintlock squad listens! Choose the right terrain and prepare to kill the leading officer of the Northern Captivity! ”

"No!"

Xiao Ruxun's three hundred guards shouted in unison, and then quickly dispersed, each choosing their favorite location and preparing for the design.

Wang Hui could only order his own soldiers to protect Xiao Ruxun and Xu Guangqi.

"Governor Xiao, is this flintlock really more powerful than a bird gun?"

Xu Guangqi asked curiously.

"You haven't tried to shoot that gun yourself for so long since I gave you that gun?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"My subordinates are preparing for the exam in Beijing, if they suddenly shoot and disturb the neighbors in all directions, and they report to the official, what should the subordinates do?"

Xu Guangqi looked at Xiao Ruxun with a complaining expression.

Xiao Ruxun was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed: "Hahahaha!" Yes, yes, it's Ben Governor who didn't think it through, hahaha! The cost of this flintlock is more than three times that of the bird's gun, and it is naturally much better to use than the bird's gun, not only because of the flint and the fire, but also because of the rifling inside. ”

Xiao Ruxun took a flintlock gun and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Xu Guangqi's eyes.

"The man sent by the Governor must have told you about this rifling, right?"

Xu Guangqi nodded: "The people sent by Governor Xiao said that this rifling wire can make lead bullets hit farther and more accurately, but bird guns can't do it." ”

"Yes, the lead bullet of the bird gun is slightly smaller than the muzzle, it can be easily stuffed in, and the barrel can be excited after being compacted with gunpowder, but the lead bullet is smaller than the muzzle, and when it comes out of the barrel, you don't know where he is flying, it is possible in the south, south, west, and west, and between thirty and fifty steps can slightly ensure accuracy, but after that, only God knows where to fly."

Xu Guangqi took the flint and nodded repeatedly.

"I see, this rifling is to keep the lead bullet flying, not flying?"

"Yes, this rifling is a little bit, and then the flintlock gun uses a slightly different buckshot, slightly larger than this muzzle."

Xu Guangqi was stunned: "Slightly bigger than the muzzle?" So how do you put buckshot in? ”

Xiao Ruxun took out a small mallet.

"Hammer it in."

"Huh?"

Xu Guangqi watched dumbfounded as Xiao Ruxun wrapped a lead bullet in a small rag, then put it on the muzzle, and then hammered the lead bullet into the barrel with a hammer, and then compacted it with a strip.

"That's it, this is the reload, because this lead bullet is soft, much softer than the barrel made of fine iron, you can use a hammer to knock it in, and the lead bullet and rifling fit, so that you can shoot, so the accuracy of the flintlock gun is high, but the shooting speed is half a pound and eight taels of arquebus, and sometimes it is even a little more difficult."

Xu Guangqi nodded.

"I see, that'...... So why not just make the buckshot look like you can put it right in, wouldn't that save a lot of time? ”

This time, before Xiao Ruxun could speak, Wang Hui spoke.

"What you can think of Governor Xiao can't think of? Fur machine people would not have imagined? Isn't it still impossible to do it without technology? And even if you can make some, it won't be able to catch up with the speed of the soldier's consumption, so it's better to hit it directly with a hammer! What's more, some of the lead bullets made may not be completely compatible with this rifling, and in the end they still have to be hammered, so why waste that money? ”

Xu Guangqi suddenly felt panicked on his face.
