Chapter 540

Qingzhou camp.

After the military workshop left, Xiao Ming went directly to Qingzhou camp with his rifles.

Compared with the busy training scenes in the past, the Qingzhou camp at this time was a little lonely. After some of the Qingzhou troops were stationed in Ryukyu and some of the Qingzhou troops went to Yunzhou, only 5000 soldiers were stationed in today's Qingzhou camp to defend the safety of Qingzhou.

However, in addition to the current 5000 Qingzhou soldiers, there are also residual soldiers who fled from Chang'an in the current Qingzhou camp. A total of 3000 of these soldiers have been placed in the school yard on the west side of Qingzhou.

When he arrived at the Qingzhou camp, the soldiers of the Qingzhou army were carrying out the packing training in the past. Luo Hong and other generals from Chang'an were admiring the Qingzhou soldiers who were dressed in neat uniforms and carrying bayonets and flint guns.

Compared with the soldiers of Qingzhou army, the firearm battalion from Chang'an was out of place.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Ming's arrival soon alerted the generals who were watching the training. Luo Hong saluted Xiao Ming with the generals of the firecracker camp.

"No gift." Xiao Ming helps Luo Hong up.

That day, Luo Quan refused him, and then Fiji told him the reason, which made Xiao Ming deeply aware of Luo Quan's profound righteousness. No wonder Luo Quan's position in the court has been very stable with ups and downs over the years.

Niu Zhen then came with Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Qi Guangyi and other generals. After saluting, Niu Zhen said, "Your Highness, we are showing them the array of muskets."

When he came in, Xiao Ming saw what they were doing. He said to Luo Hong, "what do you think of our Qingzhou army?"

"The training of the Qingzhou army is only afraid that the firearm battalion can't catch up with it. Moreover, the firearm equipped by the Qingzhou army seems to be different from that of the firearm battalion." Luo Hong shook his head.

Talking about the suifa gun, Niu Zhen and Xiao Ming are embarrassed. At that time, he sold the firerope gun to the imperial court and other vassal kings. The secret of the suifa gun has been kept secret. Now Luo Hong is stationed in Qingzhou camp, and finally finds out the trick.

However, what he mentioned was also very tactful, but he must have had some consideration in his heart. He knew that Xiao Ming had a hand in that year.

"In fact, there is not a big gap between the flint gun and the fire rope gun, but one is the flint gun, and the other is the fire rope ignition. There is little difference in the range and accuracy. The only difference is the firing stability. Another difference is the bayonet on it."

Up to now, he didn't have to hide the suifa gun any more, so he told the whole story.

As he said this, he asked Niu Zhen to bring a flint gun, and then a fire rope gun from the firearm camp to show Luo Hong their firing and bayonet parts.

With a flint gun in one hand and a flint gun in the other hand, Luo Hong called two soldiers to experiment with the flint gun and the flint gun respectively. He found that the speed of the flint gun was a little faster than that of the flint gun except that it was loaded to complete the shooting.

In this way, he doesn't think that Xiao Ming cheated Xiao Wenxuan, because it doesn't make much difference to him. After all, whether it's a fire rope gun or a flint gun, as long as the enemy rushes in front of him with a bullet, he has to fight hand to hand.

Relatively speaking, he thinks bayonet is very important.

But even so, he is also looking at the flint gun, meaning self-evident, even if the gap is small, but who doesn't want a little better?

"Your Highness, the general will lead all the soldiers of the firearm battalion to be loyal to your highness."

Compared with Luo Xin's glib words, Luo Hong is more calm and quiet. However, no matter how honest people are, Luo Hong makes a statement to Xiao Ming directly in front of the general of Qingzhou army.

"Cough." Xiao Ming looked at Luo Hong and a group of generals of the firearm camp who knelt down on one knee and said, "please stand up. Since you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you differently. I hope you can help me in the future."

Luo Hong didn't get up. Instead, he said, "I heard that your highness is going to punish Pengzhou for the rebellion of the Wei king. If your highness believes in our firearm camp, we are willing to go for your highness."

"This..." Xiao Ming's heart is full of waves.

Luo Quan still worried that Xiao Ming would not trust these generals, so he wanted to prove his loyalty with his military exploits.

But for Xiao Ming, he is really a little moved.

Cangzhou, Laizhou and Yizhou have no more than 15000 troops, and now the firearm battalion has 20000, which reduces the gap between them and Pengzhou garrison.

After all, Pengzhou was the northern gateway of Wei, and the king of Wei had more than four times as many troops as he had. Besides, it did not include the private soldiers of the local rich families, and it was impossible to fight until the end of the war.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Ming said, "in this case, I will not shirk. After all, since you are my army, you should be treated equally. Now that I am using my army, I will count you in the battle of Pengzhou."

"Thank you, your highness." Luo Hong was overjoyed at the news, and the other generals of the firearm camp were also overjoyed. Xiao Ming accepted them.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming asks Luo Hong and others to get up. Since Luo Hong mentions the expedition against Pengzhou, Xiao Ming asks: "governor Niu, have the three state armies been informed?""Your Highness, the general has already issued a military order to dispatch Cangzhou army and Pengzhou army to join Yizhou. With this grain and grass, it will take about 12 hours to prepare the supplies for Pengzhou, but this equipment?" Niu Zhen said nothing about it.

Xiao Ming knew that Niu Zhen would mention it. He said, "I just came back from the military workshop. Song Changping will give priority to providing weapons to the soldiers in the three states. At least half of the soldiers can be satisfied in one month. Besides, can't we fight without muskets? How did we fight the barbarians in Cangzhou? "

Niu Zhen was stunned for a moment. At this time, he realized that the whole army had some blind worship for guns, and he forgot his original skills. He immediately realized, "I understand. I will transport the plate armour and sword to Yizhou later."

Xiao Ming nodded his head slightly. In the era of rifles, it's very dangerous to forget the ability to fight with cold weapons. In fact, the mainstream of the world is still rifles, but on the battlefield, it's often a series of volleys followed by a bayonet attack.

For example, the most famous British red shirt in modern times, the way of fighting is still a volley of nearly 50 meters and then a charge.

Because of this, Xiao Ming is not so arrogant that he thinks that he can fight against the state of Chongqing with a flint gun. After all, strictly speaking, he is still at the stage of alternating cold and hot weapons. He needs to be careful in every war, not a bit careless.
