The sun shines in the woods, leaving behind a crisscrossing light and shadows. The gently blowing autumn wind makes many withered leaves fall in the forest, and the fallen leaves piled on the ground make a "rustling" sound when stepping on them.

More than ten women were walking in the forest, with very light movements, and several people were behind more than ten steps away, leading many horses and following closely behind.

These women were dressed in military uniforms, covered with red crotch, long boots, tied their hair buns, and wrapped them in red women to prevent distraction.

Because many people carry bows, arrows, swords, and even carry muskets, these women look like female soldiers, with a little murderous intent.

In the wilderness dozens of steps outside the forest, there were several sika deer leisurely eating wild fruits in the bushes. From time to time, they looked up, but their eyes were blocked by grass and woods. No one was approaching the woods.

The distance between the two sides gradually shortened. At about sixty steps, Chen Jae, dressed in hunting uniform, stopped and the accompanying woman quickly protected her left and right. One of them held up a loaded flintlock musket.

Chen Yu took the musket, looked at the sika deer outside the forest, leaned against a tree, compared the height, pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it on the trunk, and then used this as a support to hold the musket and hold the gun to his shoulder.

The movements were very "standard". Chen Jae, who was aiming at her prey, looked heroic.

On the side, Chen Wu, who was also dressed up, looked at her aunt preparing to hunt, and was very nervous. She looked at the sika deer outside the forest, then at the musket in her aunt's hand, and covered her ears with both hands.

The healthy women looked calm, not as good as Chen Wu.

After a while, Chen Yu pulled the trigger. First, a smog of smoke and flames rushed from the gunpowder pool in the second half of the musket. Then with a "bang", a large amount of white smoke and flames ejected from the front of the musket.

The sound of noise was quite loud. Chen Wu was so scared that his body trembled, and many birds were shocked in the nearby forest.

There was a faint whine from outside. Chen Wu looked up and saw the sika deer outside the forest running around. One of them seemed to be in a bad state. As he ran, he plunged his head to the ground. After struggling for a while, there was no movement.

The group walked out of the woods and came to the dead sika deer. Chen Yao was relieved when she saw that she finally hunted a deer: This was a task assigned by His Majesty, and if she could not complete it, she would be punished.

The originally weak Chen Jae couldn't even stand blood, but under Yuwen Wen's training, she learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and now she also learned to hunt with muskets.

The method of using a dagger to trunk to build a musket was taught by Yuwen Wen.

Seeing Chen Hua Zhan tremblingly and afraid to look at the bloody prey, she smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll get used to it if I see too much."

The healthy women skillfully tied up their prey, then put it on the backs of the horses coming, and the group rode on the horses and slowly headed towards the direction of the camp.

Chen Hua, who had just learned how to ride a horse, rode his horse and followed his aunt closely. Chen Hua, who was an aunt, also deliberately slowed down to get Chen Hua to keep up.

She looked at her young, beautiful and shy niece and remembered her then.

Just as she was extremely dependent on Concubine Zhang back then, her niece now relies on her. Chen Meng didn't expect that she would serve the same man with Concubine Zhang, and she didn't expect that she would serve the same husband with her niece.

Regarding her niece Chen Hua, Chen Hua was more moved, and for Chen Hua, her aunt was her only backbone.

Half a month ago, the queen asked her to serve the emperor, but gave up because of some problems. A few days later, she met her father - although she was just looking at him from afar with a thousand miles of mirrors.

My father's appearance is similar to that in her memory, but he has a little vicissitudes and has white hair.

And Chen Wu also has good news, that is, one of her aunts, the emperor's concubines, so she is no longer alone in the palace.

Chen Wu is now an "assistant" around the emperor, serving tea and water, sorting out books, memorials, and running errands. Until now, he has done everything, but he has not served in bed.

But this is a matter of time sooner or later.

Thinking of this, she looked at her aunt's back and saw the scene of her aunt and the emperor hugging each other and "moving" that night, and her cheeks flushed.

A sound of horse hooves came from the side, interrupting Chen Hua's memory. She looked up and saw a group of women in hunting clothes galloping towards the camp ahead, and the other party also brought prey. It seemed like they were returning home with a full load.

The distance between the two teams gradually approached. Chen Yao saw a woman in the team and found that it was the imperial concubine Yang. She couldn't help but remember the appearance of the imperial concubine and the emperor entangled one night.

As an "assistant", Chen Wu sometimes had to "suspended the night", so when the concubines served the emperor, she waited on the side, waiting for orders at any time.

In the future, she will bear the emperor's rain and dew on the couch, and other palace maids will wait aside...

As he thought about it, Chen Wu's head turned blank. When he came to his senses, he was already in the camp. The emperor was talking to the queen and his concubines, all wearing "hunting outfits", which was very majestic.

Yuwen Wen looked at the heroic "female heroes" and the bloody prey, and was very satisfied.

A beautiful woman can really kill people with a musket!

Seeing that everyone had completed the "homework" they assigned, Yuwen Wen ordered "disbandment". The little prince and the little princess who had been unable to wait for a long time rushed forward and pulled their mothers to see the prey they had hunted.

It was actually a hare caught by a hound.

Today, Yuwen Wen took his family out for a trip and was hunting for autumn, and specially asked his concubines to wear "hunting outfits" and hunt with muskets.

First, it is to feast your eyes and see the style of "uniform beauties", and second, it is to let the concubines experience the practical power of the musket.

He tried hard to personally train the concubines to use muskets, and he had to fight in practice, demonstrating his "full martial ethics".

Yuwen Wen walked around the camp, returned to the "Central Army Tent", sat on Hu's bed, holding a double-barrel musket, and looked at it carefully.

This double-barrel musket is specially used for hunting. It has a large caliber and can be used to shoot wild boars, tigers and leopards and other beasts. Even if it is a big bear with thick skin and rough flesh, it will not have much chance of winning when it encounters several hunters holding double-barrel muskets.

Unless it is a sneak attack.

Yuwen Wen put down the double-barrel musket and picked up the hunting gun used by Chen Jae. This musket is a normal single-barrel style, called "Bird Gun". Because the gun barrel is long, the shooting accuracy is good (not too far away), and it is said to be able to kill birds, so he got his name.

But the accuracy of the smoothbore flintlock musket is just that, its accurate head is not as good as the arrows shot by skilled archers, and its speed of fire is even worse. If you go to the battlefield, the musket soldiers must line up and fire to obtain a higher hit rate overall.

This kind of combat method is the familiar "queuing up and shooting".

Although the accuracy of the musket is not as accurate as that of the bow and arrow, it is a cross-age weapon. In the beginning of the Liaodong development, countless armed merchant groups and immigration groups were equipped with a large number of single-barrel, double-barrel muskets and small cannons.

what does that mean?

It means that even a weak woman or a teenager in the immigration group can kill a brave and warlike soldier with a musket after one or two months of training.

A group of women, holding bows, arrows, swords and spears, met enemies several times their own in the wild. If they could not escape, no matter how good the women were, they would end up being captured and ravaged to death.

If these women hold muskets, two or even three shots per person, there is a high probability that they will defeat the enemy.

This is the combat power brought by technological progress. The biggest advantage of muskets is that their training cycle is short and their lethality is strong. No matter what martial arts are, they are a scum in front of muskets.

Therefore, it is not a problem to have sufficient muskets, artillery and ammunition to carry several times the siege of enemies that are several times more than their own as long as they have sufficient muskets, artillery and ammunition.

"At that time, the Tsarist Russian Far Eastern colonial army, with only more than 400 people, could fight against the Qing soldiers several times their own in the isolated and helpless Jakarta stronghold. Even if the casualties were heavy, the remaining soldiers were able to evacuate safely.

The colonial army relied on muskets and cannons.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen wanted to let Zhou's immigrants in Liaodong equipped firearms on a large scale, and even if they bear the consequences of increasing domestic security pressure, they would do whatever they could.

Yuwen Wen picked up the musket, made a stand-up aiming position, then lowered the musket, looked at the surrounding scenery, and felt emotion.

He was located in Shangyuan west of Chang'an, which is Shanglin Garden during the Han Dynasty.

A hundred years ago, Emperor Wu of Han trained the "Yulin Army" here, preparing for war and attacking the Huns in the north.

The Han army soldiers who fought bloody battles left the reputation of "one Han enemy of the Five Barbarians".

Hundreds of years have passed, with the spread of iron smelting technology and the Central Plains fell into long-term civil strife, in the eyes of others, the Central Plains dynasty has become a fat sheep that anyone can cut a few pieces of meat.
