Chapter 96: The Prince Is an Immortal?

Lu Chen's cannon test gave the soldiers great confidence. In their opinion, with such terrifying weapons, there was no need to fear the barbarian cavalry.

At this time, Mu Changtian and others also understood why Lu Chen planned to introduce the barbarian cavalry into the Wanning Valley from the beginning.

Only when all the barbarian cavalry are brought together can this great weapon be able to exert its greatest effect.

When the time comes, the barbarian cavalry will be unable to fight back from the mountains on both sides of the Wanning River Valley.

Lu Chen put down the artillery shells in his hands at this time, and then said to Mu Jingwu: "Captain Mu, from now on, you and Su Wei will be in charge of the artillery battalion."

Hearing that Lu Chen actually entrusted him with such an important killing weapon, Mu Jingwu was extremely excited for a moment.

He immediately said to Lu Chen: "My lord, I will live up to your expectations. I will make the soldiers of the artillery battalion familiar with how to operate this thing as soon as possible!"

Lu Chen then handed the howitzer operation manual to Mu Jingwu, "This is the howitzer operation manual. I will give you about fifty rounds of training shells. You look at the arrangement and try to let the howitzer arrive before the barbarian cavalry arrives. Every soldier in the artillery battalion understands how this thing works."

Mu Jingwu said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jingwu took the howitzer manual from Lu Chen and read it.

Lu Chen thought to himself that there must be a certain threshold for using a howitzer, but as long as the soldiers are familiar with the operation of the howitzer, even if the soldiers cannot read the firing meter...

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned to Li Feng and said: "General Li, transfer a group of archers from your military camp to the artillery camp. From now on, the main operations of the howitzers will be handed over to the archers."

Lu Chen thought about it just now. Not being able to read the shooting chart is indeed a big problem for the soldiers. However, when the archers are shooting arrows, they know how to adjust the angle and hand the howitzer to them. Even if they can't understand the shooting table, and also knows how to adjust the shooting angle.

As for the new recruits, let them do the logistics. For example, let the new recruits do the carrying and loading of artillery shells.

Li Feng said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen continued: "General Li, go and summon the archers now. I happen to be in the artillery camp today. If you have anything you don't understand about howitzers, you can ask me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Feng turned around quickly, then left the artillery camp on horseback and went to another military camp to mobilize archers.

For the next whole day, Lu Chen stayed with the soldiers in the artillery camp.

Lu Chen also discovered that it was indeed similar to what he thought. It was easier for archers to understand the shooting angle of howitzers than ordinary soldiers.

In just one afternoon, the archers brought by Li Feng basically understood how to shoot. Some archers could even understand the shooting watch in Lu Chen's hand.

This made Lu Chen feel relieved. It seemed that the ancients were not as stupid as he thought. At first, he was worried that the soldiers would not know how to use the howitzer because they could not read the firing meter. Now it seemed that he was overthinking it.

They just don't know how the howitzer works, but they can learn how to use it quickly.

In the evening, Lu Chen asked a few soldiers who learned quickly to operate the howitzer themselves, and he was very satisfied with the result.

Although the soldier did not let the artillery shell fall to the designated position, it was about a few meters away, but the killing range of his howitzer was 15 to 30 meters. Once the barbarian cavalry entered the Wanning Valley, it is no exaggeration to say that they would be stunned even with their eyes closed. If it can hit, this little error is nothing at all.

After the soldiers' test firing was over, Lu Chen returned to the palace on horseback.

At this time, Mu Changtian and others were standing on the mountain, looking at the large craters left by the test-fired howitzers in the distance, and were silent for a long time.

After a while, Mu Changcai asked: "General Li, where did the prince get this mysterious weapon? You have followed the prince since he came to Beijun, so you should know something about it, right?"

Li Feng said: "My subordinates don't know either."

Mu Changtian smiled and said at this time: "General Li, I am no longer Duke Mu. We are on the same level now. You don't have to speak to each of my subordinates."

"If the prince knew about this, I'm afraid he would think too much about it."

When Li Feng was in the Huben Army, he was indeed Mu Changtian's subordinate, but now he is no longer in the capital, and Mu Changtian is no longer Mu Guogong. Li Feng himself has been reused by Lu Chen. If he still thinks that he is Mu Chang Tian's subordinates, aren't they suspected of forming cliques?

Mu Changtian still has some political consciousness.

No king wants his subordinates to get too close. If a subordinate gets too close, the king will feel a sense of crisis.

Li Feng instantly understood what Mu Changtian meant, and he immediately changed his words and said, "I understand, General Mu."

Speaking of this, Li Feng continued: "I don't know where the prince's weapons come from, but I once saw the prince take out a mysterious weapon out of thin air. That weapon was similar to a howitzer, but it was smaller and could be held in the hand. Hold it and shoot something like a cannonball."

"The prince once directly killed a ninth-level warrior with that weapon. I heard that the grandmaster of Blood Moon Tower was also killed instantly by that weapon last time."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Mu Changtian and Mu Jingwu fell into silence.

Instantly kill ninth-level warriors and masters!

Are the mysterious weapons in King Bei's hands so terrifying?

Mu Changtian suddenly thought of something at this time, so he asked: "Wait, you just said that the King of the North took out weapons out of thin air?"

Li Feng said: "Yes."

This...

Mu Changtian and his son Mu Jingwu looked at each other.

Mu Jingwu said: "Dad, could it be that the prince is... an immortal..."

Mu Jingwu did not say the word "person" because the news was too explosive.

Mu Changtian said directly: "I don't know if it is an immortal, but I am sure that there is absolutely no such weapon in this world!"

Li Feng said at this time: "In fact, there have been rumors in the military camp that the prince is an immortal. Some people also say that the prince is blessed by the gods and is the son of destiny. Those weapons are given to the prince by the gods."

Hearing Li Feng's words, Mu Changtian frowned slightly, "This is not a good thing for the prince."

Now that Emperor Xia is still alive and young and strong, some people say that the King of the North is the son of destiny. If the King of the North is the son of destiny, then what is Emperor Xia?

But it is not wrong to say that the King of the North is the son of destiny.

If he didn't have any affinity with the immortals, he wouldn't be able to take out such a terrifying mysterious weapon.

Mu Changtian looked at Mu Jingwu and said, "Jingwu, the prince has handed such an important weapon to you. This shows that he values ​​our Mu family. You can't let the prince down!"

Mu Jingwu said, "Don't worry, I will make sure that the soldiers of the artillery battalion will fully learn to use the howitzers before the barbarians arrive."

After hearing Mu Jingwu's answer, Mu Changtian also left the artillery battalion with peace of mind.

They all tacitly agreed that Lu Chen was an immortal, or had affinity with the immortals.
