Chapter 358 Fiery Hope
In Shenji Camp, the generals looked at the strange stick in Su Cheng's hand curiously. What is this for?
"As soon as the cannon was released, it was praised by His Majesty and the world. The cannon is indeed extremely powerful, but it is too bulky, so what I value most is not the cannon. This is the one I value most, musket!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Musket? This is the musket that the general has always been talking about, and they looked at it curiously.
"General, there is no gun head!"
They thought that the musket was just a spear with flames burning at the tip of the gun? But would it work without the gun?
Just like a fire stick, can you stab someone with a stick when you go to the battlefield?
"This is a firearm! It is a reduced version of the cannon! It is similar to a bow and arrow, but it is farther than the range of the bow and arrow, with more than a hundred steps, and is much more powerful than the bow and arrow." Su Cheng explained with some amusement.
The reduced version of the cannon? The range is more than 100 steps?
After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but take a breath, more than a hundred steps?
The range of bows and arrows varies from person to person, mainly depends on the strength of the arm. It is possible for the sharpshooter in the army to take a hundred or even two hundred steps.
But most archers have only seventy or eighty steps in range.
The range of the musket can reach more than one hundred steps?
"You mean that our Shenji Camp is just hiding behind and firing a few shots and then we'll finish it? Then we can never make any great contributions on the battlefield! Muskets are our Shenji Camp's killer weapon!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
After hearing this, the generals and officials nodded. With muskets that were farther than the range of bows and arrows, and with the cannons, their strength of the Divine Machinery Camp has been enhanced by more than one level!
Originally, they had doubts about the general's determination to build the world's most powerful soldier, but now they no longer doubt it.
With a powerful cannon and a musket with a range of farther than a bow and arrow, if you don’t want to become the world’s most powerful soldier, you’d be too ambitious!
"Did you think it's not very useful to train the queue before? So you are very complaining." Su Cheng asked with a smile.
The generals were shocked when they heard this, but they calmed down a little when they saw that the general seemed to be angry.
Captain Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It was indeed a little puzzled at the beginning, but as the last generals trained the troops, they also discovered that although the general's training methods were strict, they could strengthen the obedience of the soldiers and enhance cohesion. The general's far-sighted vision was beyond our reach!"
The generals and officials nodded together. At first, they did have some doubts, but they had to train carefully due to the general's majesty.
But then they all felt the changes under their command, which was really a transformation. So they were full of admiration for the general.
"You are right. The most important thing is that the queue and musket are the best match. You will understand how powerful it is to equip your queue with muskets!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"The firearms supervisor has limited musket manufacturing capabilities, and next month it is estimated that only 200 muskets can be made. I will give priority to the team that is the best in this assessment!"
Priority for assembly of muskets?
Everyone was drooling when they heard this. Although they were soldiers of the Shenji Camp, they had never even touched the firearm so far!
Who believes it if you say it!
But it is true that the fifty cannons were in the camp. They couldn't help but drool when they didn't see them again, but they could only train the queue.
I was worried before, only a few dozen cannons, but there were 5,000 soldiers in the Shenji Camp, and there were too many monks and few meat!
But now, there are still muskets!
The news of the musket quickly spread throughout the army, and all the soldiers were excited. After so long, there was hope for such a long time of hard training.
The weather has become hotter, but the Shenji Camp on this day is even more intense. Not long after the sun rises, dozens of cavalry galloping towards us.
The gate of the camp was opened, and the soldiers at the camp gate quickly came up.
"Where is your general? We are invited to watch the ceremony." Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Please, please, my husband, we general are waiting inside!" the soldier said with a smile.
Everyone entered the camp curiously, but the camp was empty and they didn't even see a figure.
"This is not different from other camps." Cheng Chumo poked his head and looked around and wondered.
"How big a difference can the camp be! It depends mainly on how the military training is." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"There is still a difference. Don't you think the camp of Shenji Camp is very clean and clean?" Li Zhen said with a smile.
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Su Cheng invited His Majesty to come and watch the ceremony. How could the soldiers of Shenji Camp not clean the camp?"
The soldiers in charge of the leadership couldn't help but interrupt and said, "My grandpa, our Shenji Camp is like this usually. We did not clean it up because His Majesty came in person."
Everyone smiled and nodded after hearing this, but they didn't think so in their hearts. It would be strange if they didn't clean it up specifically!
When he entered the Central Army's tent, he saw Su Cheng, Cheng Chumo and others shouted: "Su Cheng, where is the person? Why didn't he even see a figure?"
They were very curious about Su Cheng's training, but they entered the camp but didn't even see the soldiers.
"They are all preparing, what are you anxious about?"
The soldiers rushed to the scene: "Report to the general, the emperor's emperor's command has arrived."
"Let's go and welcome the sage!" Su Chengdang went to the camp gate first, and Cheng Chumo and the others also put away their hippie smiles. They were full of awe of the emperor, and they dared not be as casual as Su Cheng.
By the time Su Cheng arrived at the camp gate, the emperor had already entered the camp, followed by a vast group of people.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King of Wei Li Tai, King of Jin Li Zhi, Li Jing, Li Jicheng Yaojin Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling Wei Zheng...
It was almost half of the court, and this was not beyond Su Cheng's expectations. He had long known the loud voices of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
What surprised him was that Li Shimin and the ministers came so early, and they were all over fifty-year-old big shots, and they were still so anxious.
"This is the first time I have seen such a clean and clean camp!" Li Tai looked around and couldn't help but exclaim.
On the one hand, Li Tai really sighed, and on the other hand, he wanted to say a few more good things for Su Cheng and get closer to Su Cheng.
Cheng Yaojin and others looked at each other with a smile on their faces, but did not praise them, because there was nothing to praise.
The emperor came in person, and the fool knew to clean it up!
After hearing this, Li Shimin just nodded and said, "It's not bad."
This is entirely said for Su Cheng's sake.
"I welcome Your Majesty. Should Your Majesty enter the tent first to rest, or..."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Why do you need to rest? Let's see how your soldiers in Shenji Camp are practicing!"
