Qingzhou military camp.

It was lunch time, and the Qingzhou soldiers sat neatly in the canteen to eat.

After the reform of the Qingzhou Army, the Qingzhou battalion had a special canteen, and after recruiting logistics soldiers, the logistics soldiers were responsible for the food of the Qingzhou soldiers.

"Oh, it's fried locusts again, I can't get enough of it." Lu Fei sat on the chair, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite before going to fry the locusts.

Although the conditions in Qingzhou are much better now, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army mainly eat staple foods such as steamed buns and cakes, and it is good to be able to eat two or three vegetables at ordinary times, not to mention meat, after all, 20,000 mouths are not so easy to feed.

However, after Li Kaiyuan sent the dish of fried locusts, the Qingzhou army was finally able to eat a good meal every three or five days.

"Our Highness is really talented, Lu Fei, how did you say that Your Highness knew that this locust could eat like this, hey, it was really impressive every three days." Luo Xin sighed as he ate the fried locusts.

Niu Ben shook his head, he was a little ashamed of what happened this time.

When he was in the barracks, he always ate and lived with the soldiers, and he also asked the generals to do this, he thought that he was already having fun with the people, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming to go deeper into the people than him.

This time, he actually fried locusts for the people to eat in Dongshi, and now this has become a good story in the mouths of the people.

While everyone was eating, suddenly a guard from a large battalion came to report, "Governor, Your Highness has come." ”

When Niu Ben heard this, he quickly ate a few bites, and Lu Fei and Luo Xin did the same, hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food and walked outside the camp.

"The first flintlock guns must have arrived." Lu Fei said excitedly.

Luo Xin was a little jealous, this Lu Fei was about to change to new equipment, he muttered: "No matter how powerful the flintlock gun is, it is still not as good as the cannon." ”

"Phew!" Lu Fei glanced at Luo Xin.

When the three of them arrived outside the camp, they saw Xiao Ming followed by a number of carriages, which were loaded with one box after another.

"Your Highness, has the flintlock pistol arrived?" Niu Ben was the first to ask, he was even more anxious than Lu Fei, waiting for the flintlock pistol to be loaded.

Because Xiao Ming said that this flintlock pistol is a sharp weapon to fight back against the barbarians.

"Five hundred, this is the first batch, the military workshop said that it can provide 2,000 flintlock pistols next month, and it is estimated that the Qingzhou Army will be able to replace all flintlock pistols in a year." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

"Hehe, great, Your Highness, there is no problem with the discipline of the Qingzhou Army, and there is no problem with the battle formation, the soldiers just need to learn to operate the flintlock pistol." Lu Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Niu Dudu, these five hundred flintlock pistols will be fully equipped with the pioneer battalion, and when the soldiers have eaten, let the pioneer battalion gather, and this king will demonstrate how to operate the flintlock pistol." ”

"Your Highness, the last general you taught in the military workshop last time will be all there, so you don't have to worry about Your Highness." Lu Feiyue was eager to try it and wanted to show off in front of the soldiers.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "That's not good, last time it was just a test shot, this king just loaded the ammunition in it indiscriminately, this time it is regular training, but it can't be as follows last time." ”

Niu Ben and Lu Fei glanced at each other, and suddenly their old faces turned red, they also boasted to the soldiers, it turned out that it was a non-standard order.

All five hundred brand-new flintlock muskets were unloaded, and the soldiers moved their muskets to the school grounds, where all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion were assembled.

They all learned that they were going to use a brand new weapon today, and their faces turned red with excitement.

The whole box of flintlock pistols was moved in front of the soldiers, and at this time, Xiao Ming did not rush to send the flintlock pistols down, but was ready to explain to the soldiers.

Like the last time in the military workshop, Xiao Ming gave Lu Fei and Niu Ben a flintlock pistol.

"In front of you is a flintlock pistol, in the future, the flintlock pistol will become your weapon, become your life on the battlefield, so, after you get the flintlock pistol, you must cherish the gun in your hand, because whether you can survive from the battlefield can only rely on them, now, I will explain to you the structure of the flintlock pistol, their role."

Facing the soldiers, Xiao Ming explained every structure on the flintlock pistol and introduced its function.

One by one, the soldiers were attentive, for fear of missing a word.

After the explanation, Xiao Ming turned to the side of the soldier at this time, and this time he demonstrated the formal flintlock pistol operation specifications.

First of all, Xiao Ming picked up the flintlock pistol at a 45-degree tilt and put it in a loading position, and then he said: "Pay attention to my movements, first open the lock, open the lid of the medicine pool, then take out the bullet, bite it, pour the gunpowder into the powder pool, close the lid of the powder pool, and then pour the gunpowder in the remaining paper shell bullet into the barrel, and stuff the bullet into the barrel with the paper shell, then take out the through strip from under the barrel, insert the pass strip, and insert the pass strip into the barrel to ram the ammunition back and forth. ”

After this action, Xiao Ming continued: "After loading the ammunition, stuff the strip back, raise the flintlock pistol on the upper shoulder, and wait for the order to shoot. ”

At this time, Lu Fei and Niu Ben both posed in the order that Xiao Ming said, and then Xiao Ming said: "Fire!" ”

"Bang bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, accompanied by a burst of white smoke.

The soldiers of the pioneer battalion were all stunned, and the loud sound of the musket was enough to frighten people.

"Hehe, how about it, this flintlock pistol is powerful, let me tell you, eighty meters away, a shot pierces the plate armor, and when the time comes, I am not afraid that they will wear armor when the barbarians are fighting!" Lu Fei said excitedly.

Luo Xin saw the musket, his eyes were a little red, and he said: "Your Highness, should our artillery also be equipped with flintlock muskets, otherwise who will protect us on the battlefield." ”

"Don't worry about this Captain Luo, I will send a few people to protect you when the time comes, but you listen to me, you have to fight wherever you want." Lu Fei held a flintlock pistol, a look of giving up who else he was.

Luo Xin replied to him with a disdainful look.

Xiao Ming ignored the two people arguing, but said to Niu Ben: "Niu Dudu, send this flintlock pistol down." ”

Niu Ben nodded and said to the soldiers: "Line up and take them one by one, don't move when you get the flintlock pistol, and listen to the command." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted.

The 500 men of the pioneer battalion were all equipped with flintlock pistols, and the soldiers stood straight one by one, the flintlock pistols in their hands stood on the ground, and the 500 people gathered together looked very mighty.

Looking at the Qingzhou Army that looked like a modern army, Xiao Ming suddenly had an unprecedented sense of security in his heart, and then he shouted: "Stand tight and follow my orders." ”

After saying this, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben and the others stood beside the soldiers.

Then Xiao Ming asked the soldiers to stand in a column, and after everyone was standing, he gave a series of orders, and finally shouted: "Fire!" ”
