During the conversation between the two, Zhou Yan had a deeper understanding of the history of Xia Kingdom. A tribe with less than 100 people has developed into a powerful country with a population of millions and an area of ​​countless areas in more than ten years.

He was so excited that he heard such miracles. He listened to the wars that the captain told him that he realized that the world was so wonderful.

And Yancheng at this time!

The rainy season has passed, and with the arrival of the dry season, the fields have been planted with drought-tolerant potatoes. At this time, the potatoes have broken through the ground. The vast farmland is extremely green. The children of the farmhouse are grazing in the canal beside the fields. A few children with bare butts jump into the canal to avoid the hot sun. Occasionally, they can catch some fish and shrimps from the water, and the children enjoy the peaceful time comfortably.

However, the calm was broken with a rumbling footsteps. A piece of dust rose from the official road not far from the farmland, and teams of soldiers quickly passed by the farmland.

Looking at the soldiers in military uniforms and armor, the children were extremely excited and climbed onto the big tree and stared at the army passing by.

This army does not hold spears or hangs a knife. Every soldier carries a strange-shaped stick on his shoulder. The children here have never seen this strange army, and they all guess what the stick is for.

In front of the team, the forest bark, nearly forty years old, was riding on the Julu. As a superior, he looked like a powerful aura without anger.

Although he was not much older than Wang Lang, the hard life in his early years made him look much older than his actual age. His original black hair was half white, but his body was quite strong.

The new army behind him was the first musket force of Xia Kingdom. With the hard work of the Ministry of Works, the musket battalion has been equipped with a thousand Taichu Type 1 rifles.

This new army was separated from the Imperial Guard, and can be said to be under the jurisdiction of Linshu Bark.

Today is the day to test the training results of this new army. In the western suburbs of Yancheng, Wang Lang and civil and military officials will also go there to prepare to inspect this new-style unit with all firearms.

This is the first time that the musketeers have appeared in front of the world. Lin Shupi knew that this review must not be missed. This army has devoted a lot of effort from Wang Lang. If the inspection results are not satisfactory, it will not only be a slight face for Wang Lang, but he, the general who supports Wang Lang, will not look very good.

After looking at the sky, Lin Shuba urged: "Order the team to speed up, and you must arrive at the school ground within an hour."

The general of the Musket Battalion turned his mount and shouted to the team: "The whole army runs forward!"

The soldiers complained secretly in their hearts. It felt very uncomfortable to wear heavy armor, carry muskets, and run forward in such hot weather.

But the military orders were like a mountain. Although he cursed in his heart, he began to trot under his feet.

The long team quickly passed through the farmland and looked at the army leaving, but these children had not yet come to their senses.

"The army is so powerful!" a child said excitedly.

"I must be a general when I grow up!"

"I just want to be a general!"

"Li Er, you are still a general, you are so embarrassed!"

The children climbed down from the trees and revolved around the topic of who was the general. After playing, no one was interested in this topic.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Shupi led more than a thousand musketeers to the western suburbs on time.

In the huge schoolyard, with the arrival of the musket team, the civil and military officials on the platform looked at this new army curiously.

Lin Jianya looked at Lin Shu bark below and snorted coldly: "This army did not see anything special. The formation was quite neat and could barely be used."

"Didn't the Baron be so jealous of the Imperial Guards before? Why don't you look down on them now?" Lin Huo looked at Lin Jianya with a smile.

Lin Jianya was so direct and said it, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and he snorted: "If this army is left to me to train, the military power will only be better."

Lin Huo shook his head and smiled.

This was a rapid sound of hoof sounds outside the school grounds and quickly came toward this side.

"Your Majesty is here!" the knight shouted loudly.

Civil and military officials stood up and looked at the direction of the official road from afar.

Under the escort of hundreds of guards, Wang Lang slowly came towards the school ground in a vehicle.

Walking into the schoolyard, Wang Lang got off the deer cart, looked at the neatly arranged army on the schoolyard, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I welcome your Majesty!"

Under the leadership of Lin Huo, civil and military officials saluted Wang Lang one after another.

"You all have a flat body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang slowly walked up to the platform, holding the railing, looking at the army on the school ground with their heads raised and their mouths raised.

"Okay, okay! This is the style of my Daxia army!" Wang Lang said excitedly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the officials shouted.

Lin Huo looked at the pendulum bell that was placed aside and bowed, "Your Majesty, please take your seat. Now there are still fifteen minutes left before the inspection. The weather is hot, and Your Majesty is drinking a cold drink to relieve the heat."

Wang Lang nodded and said, "You guys sit down too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the officials sat down, they wiped the sweat from their necks with their sleeves. In such hot weather, wearing court uniforms that were covered tightly is definitely an extremely torment.

Wang Lang drank a glass of juice with ice and felt much cooler.

Time passed slowly during conversations with civil and military officials. At 10:30 in the morning, the review officially began.

All the civil and military officials stood up, and Wang Lang walked forward and looked at the neat army below.

Lin Shuba took off his helmet, stopped his waist and walked out of the team, saluted Wang Lang, and said loudly: "The Imperial Army Musket Battalion should reach 1,500 people, but in fact, 1,500 people. Please review your Majesty."

Wang Lang took a deep breath and said, "Murder Battalion, start the inspection!"

Lin Shupi turned around in place and shouted: "The Musket Team obeys the order, and the review begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the musket team scattered rapidly like waves, and divided into small squares of three hundred people.

Each small square array is commanded by an officer, and the demonstration is prepared according to the training mode.

After using the musket for so long, the officers were very confident in the inspection.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

With a steady drum sound, the first group of 300 people came out in neat steps.

The sound of armor echoed on the school ground like the sound of a tide. This sound was more wonderful than any music to Wang Lang. This was the sound of the army, and this was the sharpest sharp knife in Xia State.

After the square formation walked out of a hundred meters, the officer shouted: "Stand up!"

"Wow!"

After a collision of armor leaves, the musketeers stood firm on the spot as if they were being used to perform the art of immobilizing.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jianya's eyelids twitched. The layman may not be able to see anything. He can only feel that this set of smooth movements is very beautiful. However, as Lin Jianya, who is leading the army in the scene, this is an extraordinary thing.

Although it is only a hundred meters short, it is not an easy thing for so many people to do it like one person. Even among the troops under his jurisdiction, the most elite army is inferior to these soldiers, and their faces look very ugly.

"Become a battle formation! Spread!" the officer shouted loudly.

The original fifteen by twenty square formation skillfully transformed into three vertical and three horizontal and one hundred people line formations. It took less than two minutes for the 300 team to change the formation. This efficiency made Wang Lang nod repeatedly.

"My dear friends, look at the Musket Team!" Wang Lang said with a smile.

Lin Huo nodded and said, "This musket team is worthy of being an army built by His Majesty himself. Regarding the marching changes in the formation, it is difficult to find one that matches it in the Xia Kingdom's army."

The ministers also nodded in agreement with Lin Huo's views.

"This is all obtained by the soldiers' hard training. In the future, our Xia Kingdom's army must follow them. Only in this way can we be a lone wolf soldier and defend our country!" Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

"I will remember your Majesty's teachings!"

The ministers said in unison.

At this time, the musketeer who had completed the line array was quietly looking ahead.

Under the command of the officer, load, compact, ignite, and fix everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Take a step forward in the first row, place the musket on the stand, and aim ahead.

The officer's command knife waved downwards obliquely and shouted: "Let it go!"

"Bang bang!"

One hundred muskets were fired at the same time, and the sound was as thunderous as a thunder.

The target wall erected in front has been riddled with holes.

The officer did not care about the results of this shooting. After the first row was shot, he quickly retreated. At the same time, the second row stepped forward and after igniting the fire, he quickly carried out a new round of shooting.

After a long period of rigorous training, the real effect was seen at this time. Such a complex rotation shooting did not show any panic. Although this was just an exercise and there was no sense of fear on the battlefield, Wang Lang was already very satisfied with this level.

White smoke curled up on the school ground, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder. The civil and military officials were now so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and watched the musket team shoot round after round.

Listening to the sound of the projectile hitting the earthen wall, the officials could imagine what would happen if the enemy was the opposite side. Faced with such a fierce attack, it was difficult for them to believe that there was an army in this world that could not collapse under such an attack.

After six rounds of shooting, the first group of musketeers quickly adjusted their formation, lined up and retreated aside, and handed over the inspection yard to the friendly forces below.

The banging gunshots resounded through the world in the western suburbs, shocking everyone's hearts. Although everyone had seen the power of cannons, compared with cannons, this individual weapon shocked them even more intensely.

The emergence of muskets made them clearly realize that the pattern of war had changed, and in the face of this killing machine, personal courage was almost useless.

In front of rows of musketeers, you can be as strong as a bull and extremely brave. With a bullet, no matter how brave the warrior is, it will not play any role.

Lin Huo swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, with this army, our Xia Kingdom will be the most powerful country in the world."

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "It's not possible now. Do you know how much the equipment of these 1,500 people cost!"

"I don't know this!" Lin Huo said awkwardly.
