Long Chen spoke impassionedly on the general stage, and Gongsun Linglong's blood boiled with excitement.
But the female soldiers below looked at each other in disbelief, and they even thought they had heard wrongly.
"We become the most elite military?"
"Isn't the Long Family Army the most elite?"
"King Wu said there is a new type of weapon, I wonder what it is?"
"Linglong Pavilion specializes in forging magical weapons. There may be powerful weapons."
"No matter how powerful the weapons are, we can't become the most elite army."
"King Wu said that we can be made marquises by generals?"
"Just listen to it and don't take it seriously."
The appearance of the female soldier underneath made Gongsun Linglong very embarrassed.
Long Chen said it so well, but they were like this.
Gongsun Linglong looked at Long Chen.
I thought Long Chen would feel depressed, but I found that Long Chen had a natural expression.
The reaction of these female soldiers was as expected by Long Chen.
They were all selected temporarily, and some of them had never served in the military.
It is difficult to convince people that they should be trained into the most elite army.
"I know, you are doubting what I say!"
"I also know that many of you have never been soldiers or fought in a war!"
"But it doesn't matter, I will let you know why I dare to say that you will become the most elite army!"
After saying that, Long Chen turned back to Gongsun Linglong and said, "Ask the people at the testing site to bring some flintlock guns and explosives."
Gongsun Linglong immediately understood Long Chen's intention and immediately went back to find someone to move things.
Long Chen stood on the general platform, waiting for Gongsun Linglong to bring something over.
The discussion below continued, but Long Chen didn't mind.
It is normal to doubt and not believe.
They had never seen a musket or an artillery piece, let alone the power of gunpowder.
Long Chen listened to the discussion in the audience and didn't pay attention at first.
But slowly...
"King Wu is so handsome."
"You still need to say that marriage is granted by the Holy Spirit."
"Ah? When did the Holy Spirit grant marriage, and to whom?"
"Princess, Fourth Princess, you don't even know this."
"When I entered here, the Holy Spirit had not granted me the marriage yet."
"Isn't King Wu...a eunuch?"
"He has recovered and he is a man now."
"Wow, King Wu is a man?"
Long Chen secretly thought: Sure enough, gossip is a woman's nature.
Long Chen didn't care and just let them gossip about his and Di Luoxi's affairs.
After a while, Gongsun Linglong arrived with the crossbowmen from the testing range.
Also brought with me were ten flintlock muskets and two jars of gunpowder.
"Sir, the stuff has arrived."
Gongsun Linglong came over, her address at this time was very serious, without any playfulness, and Long Chen didn't talk to her in a flirtatious way.
On the school field, the general is not majestic and cannot command the troops.
Long Chen shouted to the female soldiers in the audience: "Disperse all of them, leaving an open space in the middle!"
Hu Qiaotong and the others immediately commanded the array to disperse, leaving an open space of more than thirty meters in the middle.
Long Chen directed the tester to carefully move the two jars of explosives to the middle and place them.
I found clothes and wooden figures and placed them around, just like they were shown to the empress last time.
When everything was ready, the tester ran over and said, "Everything is ready!"
Long Chen nodded and said to the female soldiers in the audience: "This is the new weapon invented by this king, Fire Thunder!"
"I will show you the power of this new weapon!"
Long Chen glanced at the test hand, who immediately trotted over, lit the incense of the explosive, and then ran back quickly.
Gongsun Linglong ordered the army to retreat another twenty meters.
Fifty meters apart, everyone looked at the thing in the middle quietly.
They were very curious about what Long Chen wanted to show them.
Time passed little by little and everyone was waiting.
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise, the incense burnt out, the jar exploded, and the armor and wooden figures around were blown up.
The female soldier was frightened by the sudden loud noise and screamed.
"What is this thing that is so loud?"
"The armor was actually broken into pieces and flew up."
"This power is more terrifying than the bed crossbow."
"The bed crossbow only has great penetrating power. This thing will blow up the armor."
"What exactly is this?"
"King Wu just said it was fire thunder."
"What is Fire Thunder?"
"how could I know."
Just when the female soldiers were talking about it, Long Chen spoke again and said: "What you saw just now is the fire thunder I mentioned!"
"General Gongsun, let them demonstrate the flintlock rifle again."
Gongsun Linglong immediately asked the shooter to set up a target, then stood side by side and took aim with the flintlock.
A short flintlock gun, like a fire stick, was pointed at the target in the distance.
The female soldier looked at the flintlock gun with interest and started talking again:
"What is this? A crossbow machine?"
"No, I didn't see the bowstring or crossbow arrows."
"What is that? It looks like a blowgun."
"It's not a blow dart. To blow a dart, you have to blow air through your mouth to blow away the arrow."
The shooter was ready and aimed at the target.
Gongsun Linglong ordered: "Shoot!"
Bang bang bang...
There was a crackle of gunfire, and a puff of smoke emitted from the flintlock gun, which looked more like a fire stick.
The sound of the gunshot covered up the sound of the iron bullet hitting the target. Everyone did not notice the change in the target, and were all attracted by the flintlock gun.
"This thing looks pretty fun."
"It's a bit like firecrackers, but what's the use?"
Firecrackers are the explosions made when bamboos burn, and they sound a bit like...
"I didn't see the crossbow arrow fired, what's going on?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it either."
Gongsun Linglong heard their discussion, pointed to the target in the distance and said: "This is called a flintlock gun. It shoots not crossbow arrows, but iron bullets. The target has been hit and penetrated."
"Hu Qiaotong, the three of you bring the target over and show it to everyone!"
Hu Qiaotong and the others immediately ran over and brought the target over.
Only then did everyone realize that the target had really been penetrated.
"It was really penetrated. I didn't see anything just now."
"This kind of weapon is too terrifying. It kills people invisible."
"Yeah, I didn't even know what happened when I was shot."
"Will this kind of thing be our weapon in the future?"
Seeing everyone's shocked and envious expressions, Long Chen stood on the general platform and said to everyone: "This is called a flintlock gun, and it will be the weapon of the Musketeers Army in the future."
"The flintlock gun also uses gunpowder. It shoots not crossbow arrows, but iron bullets, which can penetrate armor and kill people invisible!"
"Fire thunder and flintlock guns, these new and terrifying things, will be your new weapons in the future."
At this point, everyone finally believed what Long Chen said.
With this kind of weapon they have never seen before, there is no problem in becoming the strongest army.
"So this is what we came here for!"
Everyone felt suddenly enlightened. No wonder they had to be so secretive and locked up for training.
Long Chen said to everyone: "This is your first lesson, which is to know the weapons you will use!"
"Then, according to your respective teams, the coach of Linglong Pavilion will explain to you the knowledge of flintlock guns and gunpowder."
The veteran who tested the muskets in Linglong Pavilion is now the coach of the new army.
Long Chen only has one person, and it is impossible to train the entire army.
Gongsun Linglong immediately asked Hu Qiaotong and three others to divide the team into groups, and then divide the test players according to the number of people. The training of the new army officially began.
