Although the starting point of the Datang musket is high, as soon as it is developed, it has directly reached the stage of impacting flintlock pistol, but Xia Hongsheng can also see that its process is not mature. If you want to enter the assembly line operation for large-scale standardized mass production, there is still a distance away.

Therefore, in the short term, the musket cannot really form a large-scale combat effectiveness. It can only exist in the form of a special army similar to the Modao Army.

If you want to use muskets, it means that not only the weapons have changed, but also the army that uses muskets must make corresponding changes from strategy, tactics, to troop arrangement, formation, and even clothing, to match the muskets, so that the muskets can exert their maximum power.

But one thing is for sure, the era of cold weapons is about to begin to be replaced by hot weapons. Even though the process will be long, it still begins!

During this time, Xia Hongsheng ran to the military aircraft workshop all day long, while rehearsing the soldiers who had just started to use muskets, so that they could give full play to the maximum power of muskets. On the other hand, it also proposed new ideas for the craftsmen of the firearms workshop to improve the muskets.

For example, by adding a bayonet to the tip of a musket, the musketeer could be transformed into a pikeman in an instant. Because the musket is powerful, it is not as long as a crossbow arrow, and it is slower to reload than a crossbow arrow, so it is easier to get close than an archer. With the addition of a bayonet, if you are close to you, you can put on a bayonet in the blink of an eye, and you will not be afraid to turn into a pikeman.

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed. The fifty people drawn out by Xia Hongsheng from the guards of the military aircraft workshop can't say how well they use the musket, but it is enough to demonstrate the power of the musket.

And Chang'an City has also arrived at the right time for spring to bloom.

The perfume workshop has also officially started.

Now these business things no longer need Xia Hongsheng to do it himself. Xia Hongsheng is also dedicated to the musket, doing his best, helping as much as he can, and trying to make the musket perfect under the current conditions.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, on the twenty-third day of March, the flowers bloomed on Mo.

It was supposed to be a time when the warmth was getting stronger and the breeze was warmer.

The sound of eager horses' hooves disrupted the peaceful spring.

Accompanied by the messy and hurried sound of horses' hooves, there was a loud shout: "Give way!" Way! Tubo urgently, give way quickly! Tianzhu didn't listen to the advice, killed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and sent 300,000 troops to the Tang Dynasty! - Get out of the way! Tubo urgent! ”

When the passers-by heard the shouting, they were all startled, and they all hurriedly followed the sound, but when they saw a horse and a man in sergeant attire was whipping the horsewhip vigorously, his eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and he seemed to be a madman, and he did not look at the road, but only beat the horse and rushed forward, and his mouth kept shouting. If you look closely, the sergeant is covered in blood, and his hair is also stuck together with bloodstains, and it is knotted together as the blood stains dry up! The horse under him, although he still has the demeanor of a divine horse, is tired at the moment.

Passers-by hurriedly gave way, but saw a person suddenly standing up in the tea shop on the street, with a solemn face, and said: "This must be an emergency military situation, and the military report is a secret, how can you shout it out loudly?!" This person must have been holding back the idea of sending a message, and rushed all the way back from Tubo, obviously delirious, so he lost his mouth and shouted out the military report! Left and right, go and stop him, don't let him shout out the military report again! ”

"Order!" Dozens of strong men quickly stood up on the left and right, although they were in civilian clothes, but as soon as they stood up, they became a fierce force of their own.

I saw that the dozens of strong men quickly covered up, and stayed on the side of the road, and one of them took a step forward, and actually grabbed the reins with one hand from under the galloping horses' hooves, and pulled hard, and the horse was pulled to the side.

This person has a lot of energy!

Everyone was not amazed, but they saw that the sergeant on the horseback had already flown out with the stumbling horse, and was about to land, but suddenly they saw two more people holding their own left and right, raising their hands together to stop them, but they saved the sergeant.

The sergeant seemed to be unaware of all this that was happening, and still shouted in his mouth: "Tianzhu didn't listen to the advice, killed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and sent 300,000 troops to the Tang Dynasty!" - Get out of the way! Tubo urgent! ……”

While shouting, he struggled to touch the horse, but still wanted to get on the horse and continue to run.

"So faithful! What a strong man! The man who had ordered the previous order had arrived at this time, and when he saw that the sergeant was delirious, he lost his hooves and the horse flipped over, and fell down, and he didn't know that he was rescued, and he still had to struggle to get to the horse, obviously thinking about continuing to get on the horse and run to deliver the newspaper, and couldn't help but say loudly: "I am Li Xiaogong, the king of the Tang River, who is the general in the army, and I can pass the army to Your Majesty on your behalf!" ”

The man was still unconscious, and his mouth was shouting.

I saw Li Xiaogong take a step forward, raised his hand at the moment, made a knife with his side palm, and slashed at the back of the sergeant's head, and the sergeant immediately fainted, and finally stopped making a sound.

"Lead the horse! This king immediately entered the palace to face the saint and sent a message to His Majesty on behalf of this soldier! Li Xiaogong shouted to the left and right: "Tianzhu did not listen to the advice, insisted on sending troops, the war is about to start, you should go and inform the generals in the army of this letter as soon as possible, and inform the eldest grandson and Fang Gong, and let them go to the palace." Your Majesty, as soon as he learns of this letter, will summon them. ”

Several people came out of his own soldiers, and they took orders one after another, and mounted their horses.

Li Xiaogong looked left and right, and saw that many people had gathered around, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted to the surrounding people: "Don't panic, everyone, this king is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and the soldiers are delirious, and they shouted out the secret information in the army, and Ling Er and others know about it." But don't worry, Tianzhu soldiers are just chickens and dogs. Compared to the Goguryeo soldiers, it is still far beyond it, let alone my Tang Dynasty soldiers? 300,000 people have heard a lot, but in the eyes of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, it is no different from 3,000 people. Don't worry, do what you need to do. ”

With that, Li Xiaogong turned over and got on his horse and ran towards the palace.

However, it was said that Xia Hongsheng threw the fifty soldiers in the military aircraft workshop to use muskets, and was practicing to the pace of the line, but suddenly saw Yan Lide hurriedly coming, and when he arrived, he didn't wait for Xia Hongsheng to speak, so he pulled him over and was about to go outside.

"This, what is the Yan Gong Department doing?" Xia Hongsheng was taken away by Yan Lidra, inexplicably, and couldn't help asking.

"Something is wrong!" Yan Lide let go of Xia Hongsheng at this time, but his footsteps still did not stop, and he replied as he walked: "The envoy sent by His Majesty to Tianzhu was killed, and only a small team of escorted soldiers was able to escape, but they could not reach Nibora, so they had to mix in the merchant ship back to the Tang Dynasty and arrive in Guangzhou, and ran all the way, only one was left alive, and his mind was no longer clear, and he was all hanging in one breath, fortunately, he met the king of Hejian on the official road outside Chang'an and was rescued by the king of Hejian County." Your Majesty summoned the ministers, I expected that you were here, and the palace guards couldn't find you, so I came to you in person and entered the palace together! ”
