Qingzhou Daying.

After leaving the military workshop, Xiao Ming took the rifled rifle directly to the Qingzhou camp.

Compared with the lively training scenes in the past, the Qingzhou camp was a little deserted at this time. After some Qingzhou troops stationed in Ryukyu and the other part of Qingzhou troops heading to Yunzhou, only 5,000 soldiers stationed in the Qingzhou camp are responsible for protecting the security of Qingzhou.

However, in addition to the 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers, there are still remaining soldiers who escaped from Chang'an in the Qingzhou camp. There are a total of 3,000 of these soldiers, and they are placed in the west schoolyard of Qingzhou.

When he arrived at the Qingzhou camp, the Qingzhou soldiers were undergoing the past filling training. Luo Hong and other generals from Chang'an were envious of the Qingzhou soldiers wearing neat military uniforms and carrying bayonet flintlock rifles.

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

"Your Highness."

Xiao Ming's arrival soon alarmed the generals who were watching the training. Luo Hong brought the generals of the firearm battalion to Xiao Ming.

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

That day Luo Quan refused him, and then Fiji told him the reason, which made Xiao Ming deeply feel that Luo Quan is a person who is very wise. No wonder Luo Quan's position in the court has been very stable over the years.

Niu Ben came over with Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Qi Guangyi and other generals. After saluting, Niu Ben said, "Your Highness, we are demonstrating the musket array to them."

When Xiao Ming came in, he could see what they were doing. He said to Luo Hong: "What do you think about our Qingzhou army?"

"I am afraid that the training of the Qingzhou Army will be beyond the reach of the firearm battalion. Moreover, the muskets equipped by the Qingzhou Army seem to be different from the firearm battalion." Luo Hong shook his head.

When talking about this flintlock rifle, Niu Ben and Xiao Ming were immediately embarrassed. At that time, he sold the flintlock rifle to the court and other vassal kings. The secret of the flintlock rifle has been secretly announced. Now Luo Hong is stationed in the Qingzhou camp and finally sees the mage.

However, what he mentioned was very tactful, but he must have had some conspiracy in his heart, and knew that Xiao Ming had kept a hand back then.

"In fact, the gap between flintlock and flintlock is not very big. However, one is flintlock and the other is flintlock. There is almost no difference in range and accuracy. The only difference is the stability of firing, and another difference is the bayonet on it."

At this point, he no longer had to hide the flintlock rifle, so he told the story of the flintlock rifle.

While talking, Niu Ben asked him to bring a flintlock rifle, and then he brought a flintlock rifle from the firearm battalion, showing the firing and bayonet parts of the two to Luo Hong.

Holding a flintlock rifle in one hand and a coblin gun in the other. Luo Hong called two soldiers to test it with a coblin gun and a flintlock rifle, and found that the flintlock rifle was slightly faster than the coblin gun, which was really not much different than the flintlock rifle except that it was loaded to complete the shooting.

After such an experiment, he did not think that Xiao Ming had deceived Xiao Wenxuan because it didn't seem much different in his opinion. After all, whether it was a comb or a flintlock rifle, as long as the enemy rushed to the front with bullets, he had to fight in hand and hand.

Relatively speaking, he thinks bayonets are very important.

But even so, he looked at the flintlock rifle with his eyes, and the meaning was self-evident. Even if the gap was small, who didn't want a slightly better one?

"Your Highness, the last general leads all the soldiers of the firearm battalion to be loyal to His Highness."

Compared to Luo Xin's smooth-mouthed voice, Luo Hong was calmer and duller, but even the honest man was still scheming. Luo Hong directly expressed his opinion to Xiao Ming in front of the Qingzhou general.

"Ahem." Xiao Ming looked at Luo Hong and a group of firearm battalion generals who were kneeling on one knee and said, "Please get up. Since you are willing to follow me, I will naturally not treat you differently. I hope you can help me in the future."

Luo Hong did not stand up, but said, "I heard that Your Highness is going to conquer Pengzhou to punish the King of Wei for rebellion and rebellion. If Your Highness believes in our firearm camp, we are willing to go for Your Highness."

"This..." Xiao Ming's heart was slightly turbulent.

Luo Quan said this and was still worried that Xiao Ming was worried about them, so he wanted to use his military achievements to prove his loyalty.

And for Xiao Ming, he was really a little moved.

The troops of Cangzhou, Laizhou and Yizhou are only more than 15,000. Now the firearm battalion has joined, which reduces the gap with the Pengzhou defenders in the number of people.

After all, Pengzhou is the northern gateway of Wei, and the King of Wei has many people and is more than four times the number of troops in his hands. Moreover, this does not include the private soldiers of local wealthy families. Moreover, once it enters a state of war, it is impossible not to fight until death.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming said, "Since that's the case, I won't refuse. After all, since your army should be treated equally as well. Now that I am using troops, I will be counted as one of you in this battle in Pengzhou."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and the other generals of the Firearms Camp also showed joy. Xiao Ming's words were equivalent to accepting them.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming asked Luo Hong and others to get up. Since Luo Hong mentioned the conquest of Pengzhou, Xiao Ming asked with the opportunity: "Governor Niu, have the troops of the three states notified?"

"Return to Your Highness, the last general has issued an order to dispatch the Cangzhou army and Pengzhou army to Yizhou to join the army. With this food and grass, the preparation of supplies will take about twelve hours to set off to Pengzhou, but this equipment?" Niu Ben stopped talking when he said this.

Xiao Ming knew that Niu Ben would mention this matter. He said: "I just returned from the military workshop. Song Changping would give priority to the soldiers of the three states. In a month, at least half of the soldiers can be satisfied. Besides, without muskets, can't fight? How did we fight bloody battles with the barbarians in the Battle of Cangzhou?"

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment. At this time, he realized that the whole army was blindly admiring the muskets and forgot his original ability. He immediately understood, "The general understands it. In the later period, the general will transport the plate armor and sword to Yizhou."

Xiao Ming nodded gently. It is very dangerous to forget the ability to fight cold weapons in an era when muskets are rampant. In fact, although the mainstream of the world is still muskets, on the battlefield, there are often several rounds of volleys that take bayonets and charge for hand-to-hand combat.

For example, the most famous British Redshirts in contemporary times still fought a volley close to fifty meters, and then launched a charge.
