Chapter 144 Use of the Musketeer

The musket battalion was built in the afternoon, and the veterans who held official positions were also transferred and entered the musket battalion army. At present, this musket battalion is still under the jurisdiction of the First Regiment of New Soldiers, and Liu Xia did not let him be independent.

When the musket camp was built in the afternoon, the 500 brand-new muskets were transported to the musket camp. Liu Xia attaches great importance to the musket camp. So I found a training camp for the musket camp. The camp is located in a deep mountain in the south of Hulao Pass. It was originally an abandoned military academy. Although it was a little dilapidated, it was still available to clean it up, and there was no one left or right. You can carry out shooting training at will without worrying about hurting ordinary people.

After the musket was transported to the musket camp, the battalion commander fired the musket. The battalion commander is Chen Lijun, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the Humen Regiment. He is at the rank of lieutenant. Now he has been promoted to the battalion commander of the musket battalion. Liu Xia personally awarded him the rank of Yangwu School.

Chen Lifu is also a veteran. He has been a soldier for nearly 20 years and has experienced a lot of wars. In the previous army, he was a musket soldier, but fortunately, he was lucky and did not use muskets. However, looking at the brothers around him who were injured or even killed because of the musket explosion, his heart was gradually full of fear.

I thought that I would no longer touch muskets in this life, but when I saw this batch of muskets, Chen Lifu saw that these muskets were not as good as the muskets of the Ming Dynasty and were of low quality. When Liu Dazhuang returned to the army to select people, he took the initiative to sign up. He has mixed feelings for muskets.

"I have remembered that this iron bar is a musket, and you will be a musket soldier in the future. You are lucky. The general attaches great importance to muskets. You will have a great future in the future!"

"Bracks commander, how do you think this musket is used? In the morning, we also watched the performance of those from the logistics department, but it was far away and we didn't see it clearly." A soldier asked.

Chen Lijun didn't know much about this improved musket. He took the musket in his hand and looked left and right, and then said, "Bring me the ignition, and I'll fill in the gunpowder."

The soldier next to him said, "General, we don't have gunpowder!" Only these paper tubes shipped by the logistics department. I don't know what these paper tubes are for, and they all carry a lead.

Chen Lijun turned around, took a paper tube in his hand, and then tore off the layer of paper. It was filled with black gunpowder. He was surprised and said, "These paper tubes are full of gunpowder. Take it and grab it, and I will pour it into the gunpowder."

After saying that, Chen Lijun poured the gunpowder in the straight barrel into the gun. At this time, more than 20 people came from the outside. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He saw Chen Lifu early in the morning with a pair of eagle eyes. When he looked again, he saw Chen Lifu pouring gunpowder into the gun, so he hurriedly He ran forward and shouted, "Colder Chen, Camper Chen. What are you doing?

"I'm pouring gunpowder! Fire the musket. The people in your logistics department are really thoughtful. It's really convenient to pour gunpowder into the paper tube. Chen Lifu said with a smile.

The leader sighed, "Culture Chief Chen, this musket is not used like this. You don't have to tear the paper tube!"

Chen Lifu didn't believe it, because the muskets he used before were directly filled with gunpowder, so he said, "Isn't the muskets all used like this?"

The leader said, "No, that was the old musket, and now we are the new musket. Just put the paper tube into it, and then light the fire rope on the paper tube. There is no need to pour gunpowder in it.

With that, the leader picked up a musket next to him, then put it in a paper tube, and finally put in a lead bullet. As soon as the fire was lit, there was only a 'bang' sound, and the wall not far away was dented by a lead bullet.

"What a great! There's no need to install gunpowder!"

"You don't need to put gunpowder. You didn't see that the paper tube was full of gunpowder just now, but you don't have to pour gunpowder by yourself. It's really much more convenient." The soldiers shouted wildly.

Good things, good things. This paper tube is really a good thing. Do they have names?" Chen Lifu asked.

The leader said, "This paper tube becomes a fire bomb, and we just need to put it in to ignite and launch it. This idea was made by the general to make it convenient for the soldiers. We all have to thank the general!"

"Hold the general! Long live the general!"

"We are from the logistics department, and in the next few days, we will assist you in training the use of muskets. When you are ready, we can go to the training ground in Nanshan.

-----

"Governor, along the way, we didn't meet an enemy or even see the enemy's scouts. Isn't this too calm and a little weird?" A middle-aged general said to Wang Wenkui.

At this time, they were resting in the county seat of Minhang County. After arriving in this county seat yesterday, Wang Wenkui did not immediately order to move forward again, but chose to rest on the spot. Because Wang Wenkui is also greedy and afraid of death. If he is not afraid of death, he will not be willing to be a lackey and a traitor.

Wang Wenkui listened and sneered, "What can be weird? It must be that the enemy was scared to hide in the gate when they heard that we had sent 20,000 troops. Prepare to guard the Hangu Pass to prevent us from entering. The area around Minxiang is still far from the Hangu Pass. Of course, there will be no trace of them.

The general said, "As far as the last general knows, Liu Xia's men are not such people..."

"Is it such a person? How can you know if you haven't seen him? What's more, it was because they had never met tens of thousands of troops to attack. Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are under pressure, how dare they come forward? I'm afraid I've been scared for a long time.

The general wanted to say something else, but when he saw Wang Wenkui's impatient face, he closed his mouth knowingly.

Wang Wenkui is afraid of death, but he still wants to make contributions and be promoted. Now his official position has become the governor of Shaanxi. If he still wants to rise, he can only make more achievements, otherwise it is difficult to stand out.

"Okay, you don't have to think so much. Arrange the soldiers to rest for a while, and let's go. It's up to you to be the vanguard. The governor is in charge of the Chinese army. Wang Wenkui said seriously that if ordinary people see Wang Wenkui's appearance, they really think he is a handsome talent, but as an old man who has been with Wang Wenkui for so long, although the general can't see the different color on his face, he has already scolded Wang Wenkui's name in disgust.

"Yes, Governor. I'm on your orders!"

In Shanzhou City, the temporary operational command center, Chen Liuyu Mingjun and others were gathering together to discuss.

Ma Peng, the head of the lion map, shouted, "Why didn't Wang Wenkui leave when he arrived in Minhang? What an old fox."

Chen Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ma. Wang Wenkui is just timid and scared. It won't take long for Wang Wenkui to automatically enter the encirclement."

Yu Mingjun frowned and said, "It's time for me to leave. At this time, I bypass Wang Wenkui and enter the rear of Minhang, and then attack Tongguan. As for the military affairs here, there is a military division.

Chen Liu laughed and said, "What did the general say? We are all fighting for the general and the Han nation."

"For the general! For the big man!"

"The general just goes forward and doesn't have to worry about the rear. Although Chen is not talented, he is also very sure to deal with Wang Wenkui." Chen Liu habitually took out the feather fan in his hand and swayed it. Although it is autumn now, Chen Liu, who is known as Zhuge in the world, has always been like this.

"If there is a military division, I will be relieved. After a few days, I will take down Tongguan. The soldiers of my Eagle Camp want to show all the soldiers that they are the most elite. Yu Mingjun said with an arrogant face.

"It's not too late. The general can leave today and go to Hangu Pass."

Meng Yu from Luoyang City personally led a team to walk to a house that looked not too big but not small under the leadership of an ordinary farmer dressed as a man.

"Your Excellency, this is where the owner of the letter lives." The man dressed as an ordinary farmer said to Meng Yu.

Meng Yu frowned and said, "Come on, block the exits of this yard and forcibly enter. It's really impatient to betray the general and have an affair with the enemy.

With Meng Yu's order, dozens of members of the dragon group quickly dispersed around, guarding all the exits, and some people patrolled outside the courtyard wall. Prevent someone from escaping from the wall.

"Knock on the door to enter."

"DangDangDang"

There was a knock on the door, but after knocking for a few minutes, no one came out to open the door. Meng Yu said angrily, "Mouse the door to enter."

"Yes!"

"Bang! Bang!" Several people kept stepping on it, and the wooden door hit the ground heavily in an instant, splashing a pile of dust.

"What kind of person, what kind of person." Several family members with wooden sticks came out of the yard and guarded the entrance.

Meng Yu shouted angrily, "Put down your weapon and surrender quickly, or you will be killed."

Those familymen, look at me, and I look at you. You look at a loss on your face, but the wooden stick in your hand was not put down because of Meng Yu's words.

Meng Yu didn't have time to talk to them. His eyes moved, and the soldier next to him immediately understood the meaning, so several people went up and killed a householder. Blood sprayed and splashed on several people. The family immediately became dumbfounded. They quickly threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, and then knelt on the ground and dared not look at Meng Yu.

Meng Yu said, "Liu Xia guarded them, and the rest followed me in. Look around carefully and can't let go of a person.

"Yes, yes"

Dozens of dragon group members ran to the rooms in the yard one after another. At this time, the yard suddenly jumped, and many maids ran around.
