Chapter 224 Zhuge Chongguang Arrives

When Lu Chen arrived at the Council Hall, except for the people responsible for patrolling, almost all the important military figures were present.

After seeing Lu Chen's arrival, everyone saluted and said, "Greetings to your lord, may your lord live a thousand years!"

After the salute, Mu Jingwu immediately said: "Your Majesty, the artillery battalion has been assembled."

Lu Chen nodded and his eyes fell on Mu Changtian. Mu Changtian said, "My lord, the thousand recruits you want are ready. They are all trained according to the training methods you gave."

Lu Chen said: "Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Then, under the leadership of the Jin Yiwei soldiers, everyone went to the military area near the military factory.

Mu Changtian and the others had never been to this place before. They only knew that this place was very mysterious. Only the black cavalry were stationed here. Ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter this place, not even Mu Changtian himself.

After the artillery battalion and the new army arrived at the designated location, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said to Mu Changtian and the others: "You should also know that I brought you here today mainly because the army wants to install new weapons."

"These new weapons are similar to howitzers. Although they are not as powerful as howitzers, they have more shells than howitzers. Moreover, these are weapons that Northland has been able to mass-produce."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian and others were startled.

Can it be manufactured in batches?

Doesn't that mean that the military strength of the Northern Kingdom will soon surpass other dynasties?

The last time the howitzer had left a deep impression on everyone, at that time they were thinking that if this kind of weapon could be mass-produced, it would not be difficult for Lu Chen to ascend to the supreme position in the future.

But at that time, people thought they were using immortal weapons, so there wouldn't be too many of them, and they would be gone once they were used up.

The soldiers in the artillery battalion had not touched a howitzer for a long time. Mu Jingwu even doubted whether the artillery battalion was about to be disbanded. He did not expect that the North Country would be able to produce similar weapons so quickly. In the future, the artillery battalion would play a crucial role on the battlefield. important role.

Lu Chen said to Mo Xing at this time: "Let the Jinyi Guard soldiers pull out their weapons."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the help of the black cavalry, three hundred cannons and thousands of mortars were soon delivered to the soldiers.

Seeing so many weapons, Mu Changtian and others were stunned for a moment. Lu Chen said to Mu Jingwu at this time: "Captain Mu, starting from today, the training of the artillery battalion will be conducted with live ammunition. I need you to be there." Become thoroughly familiar with these new cannons within two months.”

Mu Jingwu immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers in the artillery battalion have long wanted to touch the real thing. Ever since the howitzer shells were fired, they have basically been learning theoretical knowledge. No matter how thorough the theoretical knowledge is, they can't learn it as fast as they do it themselves.

At this moment, Li Feng noticed the stick-like weapons placed on the wooden boards, and the scene where Lu Chen used Barrett to kill the high-level warrior suddenly appeared in his mind.

Li Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that these stick-like weapons were the kind of killer weapons that Lu Chen had used?

Thinking of this, Li Feng immediately asked: "Your Majesty, is this stick-like weapon also a cannon?"

Before Lu Chen could answer, Mo Xing replied from the side: "General Li, this is not a cannon, this is a musket."

Lu Chen said: "In the future, the new army will gradually abandon bows and arrows and use muskets. Mo Xing, please show them how to use muskets first."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xing picked up a musket and skillfully loaded it with a primer and a steel ball bullet.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed the gun at a tree in the distance and pulled the trigger. As a gunshot was heard, the steel ball in the gun flew out and hit the tree instantly.

Seeing this scene, Li Feng and others were startled. This weapon was indeed very similar to the mysterious black weapon used by their prince before.

But it seems that Lu Chen's mysterious weapon is very powerful.

After Mo Xing demonstrated how to use the musket, he told everyone: "The bullets and primers of the musket are smaller and more convenient to carry than bows and arrows."

"If it goes to the battlefield, a soldier can carry at least hundreds of bullets."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that an ordinary person can also use this musket, and the bullets of the musket can easily penetrate armor."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned again.

If a bow and arrow is used, an untrained soldier may not even be able to draw the bow. Even if he can draw the bow, the arrow will not be powerful enough, let alone penetrate the enemy's armor.

But once equipped with muskets, it means that any ordinary person can join the army of the North Kingdom in the future, as long as they learn to use muskets.

An ordinary person who has learned how to use a musket has strength comparable to that of a second-grade warrior.

Mu Changtian sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, the era of warriors is coming to an end.

After Mo Xing finished speaking, Lu Chen reminded from the side: "This batch is a training gun. The bullet and primer are separated, which is not convenient enough to carry. I have asked the craftsmen to improve the gun and produce bullets that combine the primer and bullet." ”

"Such a musket would be more powerful, and even a ninth-grade warrior would not be able to withstand its bullets."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen looked at Mu Changtian.

"The new army must learn how to use muskets as soon as possible."

Mu Changtian came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Lu Chen continued, "In addition, I will say one more thing. After entering the era of firearms, some warriors may think that they are no different from ordinary people, but I still want to remind you that no matter how powerful firearms are, there are people who cannot be killed by firearms.

Speaking of this, Lu Chen immediately picked up a Moxing musket, loaded it with bullets, and pointed it at his head.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, and their faces changed drastically.

"Your Highness!!!"

"Your Highness, no!!! ”

…

Before everyone could stop Lu Chen, Lu Chen shot himself.

As a result, when the steel ball bullet was about to touch Lu Chen's head, a strong pressure was released from Lu Chen's body, and the next moment, the steel ball bullet turned into powder.

This…

Everyone was stunned again.

The pressure released from Lu Chen made everyone present breathless, even Mu Changtian and others, who were masters, felt like a mountain was pressing on them.

Lu Chen never told them that he was already a grandmaster, but the pressure released from Lu Chen at this time was obviously the power that only a grandmaster possessed.

The generals summoned by Lu Chen naturally knew that Lu Chen was a grandmaster, but Mu Changtian and others did not know, and ordinary soldiers did not know either.

Lu Chen showed this move, not only the importance of martial arts, but also his strength as a grandmaster.

The soldiers and others were a little bit unbelievable .

Grandmaster?

Their prince is a grandmaster?

A grandmaster at the age of seventeen?

As expected, their prince is the son of destiny who is favored by the immortals!

If their prince was not favored by the immortals, how could he take out such a terrifying weapon, and how could he break through to the grandmaster level in such a short time!

According to their prince's growth rate, I am afraid that before the age of thirty, their prince will be able to become a strong man in the realm of heaven and man.

It is rumored that the strong man in the realm of heaven and man has the strength close to that of immortals and can call the wind and rain!

When the soldiers thought of this, they were boiling.

At this time, Lu Chen continued: "You have also seen that as long as you have absolute strength, even a musket cannot hurt your body, so you don't have to be depressed. Martial arts are still very important, and practicing can make people live longer. Don't give up the road of martial arts because of the birth of firearms. "

Lu Chen had already seen that since the howitzers had been so powerful on the battlefield, the warriors in the army had been a little confused. Some soldiers even thought that martial arts were no longer useful. Even Mu Changtian had such thoughts.

The birth of firearms would indeed hit the warriors. The warriors would definitely think that an ordinary person could easily kill a ninth-grade warrior, so what was the point of their hard work in practicing martial arts for decades?

Although Lu Chen knew that firearms were very powerful, he would not say that martial arts were useless.

On the contrary, after the birth of firearms, martial arts would most likely become more important than before.

Because only when the realm is raised to the Grandmaster realm can bullets be easily blocked. In order to avoid the threat of firearms, people will inevitably work hard to improve their realm so that they will not be shot by an ordinary person with a musket.

Lu Chen glanced at the soldiers, and then said: "Okay, each of you take your own soldiers to take these weapons away. Daxia will be in chaos, and we must also be prepared. "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and others felt a little nervous.

Daxia will be in chaos?

Why would the King of the North say that? Could it be that...

The King of the North intends to start a war directly?

...

Just when Mu Changtian and others were thinking about it, Lu Chen had already gone to the arsenal for inspection. Since he was here, he would take a look at the development progress of the new gun.

The development of the new gun was relatively smooth. The bullet and the primer had been combined. It was no longer a steel ball bullet, and the front of the bullet had also become a sharp cone.

The reason why Mo Xing and others were able to get the bullets so quickly was mainly because Lu Chen gave Mo Xing and others the bullets of the Desert Eagle and Barrett for reference.

However, there was a big problem with their bullets. In this era when the industrial foundation was very weak, the bullets they made were too rough and easy to explode.

In order to prevent the explosion from causing trouble to the user, Mo Xing thickened the gun body. Even if the bullet exploded, the bullet would not blow up the gun or harm the user.

But this way, there was a big problem. The thickened gun body was also heavy. It has been improved.

An ordinary rifle has already caught up with Lu Chen's Barrett in weight.

However, this gun is indeed heavier for ordinary people, but for the warriors in this world, this weight is not a problem.

Lu Chen found that what he said before was right. Warriors are still very important in the North.

For example, the new muskets they produced must be used easily by warriors of at least the third rank. In the future, this type of new firearms can be used in advance by warriors of the third rank or above.

Of course, this is temporary. The current industrial foundation is poor and the materials are not good, so they can only use this method of thickening the gun body. When the North has a certain industrial foundation in the future, the firearms they manufacture will not be so easy to explode. At that time, even ordinary people can easily use new muskets.

After inspecting the arsenal for about half an hour, Lu Chen returned to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei rushed to Lu Chen and said, "My lord, something bad has happened!"

Seeing the panic of the Jinyiwei, Lu Chen immediately asked, "What happened?"

The Jinyiwei replied, "A great master came to the south gate of Yancheng. Now the caravans coming and going from Yancheng are all watching outside. It is said that the great master is the literary saint of the Dagan Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

Did he arrive in Yancheng so soon? He thought Zhuge Chongguang would stay in the Dayue Dynasty for a while and then come to Yancheng quietly to avoid being discovered.

The Jinyiwei continued, "The great master was recognized by people as soon as he arrived at the gate of Yancheng. Now the south gate of Yancheng has been completely blocked. People all want to see the great master."

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned.

Did Zhuge Chongguang make too much noise?

But think about it, Zhuge Chongguang is called the literary saint after all. He is the most likely person to break through the heavenly realm in recent decades. It is normal for him to be so popular.

Lu Chen said, "Take me to see it."

Then Lu Chen rode his horse and went directly to the South City.

Zhuge Chongguang was a literary saint and a grandmaster. Even the emperors of the major dynasties had to give him some face. There was nothing wrong with him, the prince, personally going to greet him.

Not long after, Lu Chen arrived at the South Gate.

At this time, the city gate was crowded with people inside and outside. People wanted to see the legendary literary saint and grandmaster.

At this time, the guards of the palace shouted loudly: "The prince is here!!!"

Hearing this, the crazy people reluctantly made a way out.

Seeing that the North King came in person, the people were much more obedient.

After a while, Lu Chen rode his horse to a carriage pulled by four horses.

The next moment, under the witness of everyone, a white-haired old man slowly got off the carriage.

Today, Yancheng is already a commercial center. Caravans from major dynasties will come to Yancheng to purchase goods, especially the goods of the North King's Palace, which are their most important trading goods.

These merchants have a wide range of knowledge, and many of them have seen Zhuge Chongguang, especially the merchants of the Dagan Dynasty.

"Look! He is really a literary saint!"

"How could a literary saint appear in the North Country?"

"What is he doing in Yancheng? Didn't he go to the Dayue Dynasty and plan to move the Huanyu Academy to Dayue?"

"Is there anything in the North Country that attracts him?"

"Dayue and the North Country are right next to each other, maybe he just came to the North Country to take a look."

...

Just as people were talking about it, Zhuge Chongguang walked towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen also got off his horse at this time.

At this time, Zhuge Chongguang bowed and said: "Zhuge Chongguang, the dean of Huanyu Academy, greets the prince!"

I have a cold and my head hurts. I will update it today
