Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 185 Chongzhen ascends the throne
Seeing Wang Zhi retracting his gun, Shen Lian and Pei Lun trotted to the tree, carefully inspected the eight bullet holes neatly arranged on the tree, and looked at the eight yellow-orange bullets deeply embedded in the tree, they couldn't help falling down. Take a breath.

The two looked at each other, seeing shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Pei Lun lowered his head and thought:
With such a magical weapon, even in the face of tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, he can be sure of defeating it!

Shen Lian stared blankly at the bullet hole, thinking:
If the army is equipped with such weapons, what do we need warriors for?Is there still room for us warriors?
Seeing the appearance of the two, Wang Zhi stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the two, and said:
"This kind of weapon is only equipped by a thousand people. It is obvious that the infantry must use this weapon! Then the question arises, what happens when the infantry defeats the opponent with the rifle? Shen Lian?"

Hearing Wang Zhi's question, Shen Lian immediately reacted, thinking:
yes!The defeated Tartar cavalry must not be able to catch up with the infantry, and this is the time for the cavalry to attack!Then the cavalry I lead will be useful!
Thinking of this, Shen Lian raised his head and said with firm eyes:
"Daozhang, when will the new army be formed, I can't wait!"

Having said this, he came to his senses again, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said embarrassingly:
"Look at my memory, I have said that it will not be established until that person ascends the throne! Sorry! Daoist, I am impatient!"

Wang Zhi chuckled, and took out a set of full-body knight armor from the space. This full-body armor was made of aluminum alloy. The whole weight was only about [-] kilograms, and its defense ability was four times that of a heavy-armored knight.

After asking Zhuo Yifan to help Shen Lian put it on, he put down the visor. Shen Lian tried to do chopping, bending and other movements, and found that the flexibility of the armor was quite good.

Wang Zhi said to Pei Lun relaxedly:

"Pei Lun, hack the armor with a knife and try its defensive ability!"

Hearing this, Pei Lun pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, raised his hands above his head, looked at Shen Lian, and signaled me to cut it with his eyes!

At this time, Shen Lian trusted Wang Zhi quite a lot. Since Wang Zhi called Pei Lun to chop, the armor on his body would definitely be able to block the sword's slashing.

So he nodded to Pei Lun, turned around, and prepared to use his back to meet Pei Lun's slash.

Seeing that Shen Lian was ready, Pei Lun shouted loudly, and the Xiuchun knife slashed at Shen Lian's back.

"Dang Bang" sounded, and the Xiuchun knife collided with the armor, and the blade of Pei Lun's Xiuchun knife was bounced, and everyone looked at it again.

The Xiuchun knife blade has been slightly curled, leaving only a light white mark on the armor.

Pei Lun stepped forward, wiped the marks on the armor, and wiped away the marks, as if he hadn't been cut by a knife before.

Pei Lun not only clicked his tongue twice, but also praised:

"It's really good armor. Even in the palace, you can't find such a pair of armor! If the cavalry wears this armor, it will be a cavalry team of tens of thousands. Even a thousand people can dare to charge and win the battle." Of!"

Wang Zhi shook his head and said:
"You only see its advantages, but you don't know its disadvantages!"

Shen Lian lifted off the visor, took off the helmet and put it on his left arm, and asked suspiciously:

"Master Dao, does such a magical weapon have any shortcomings?"

Wang Zhi smiled and said:

"Its only shortcoming is that it is afraid of being hit by blunt objects! Heavy weapons such as giant axes, hammers, and maces can all cause damage to the armor, especially people inside the armor, who will suffer internal injuries from the shock!"

Pei Lun said disapprovingly:
"Oh, what kind of shortcomings do I think! This is inevitable on the battlefield. Besides, there are only a few people who use heavy weapons, so don't worry about it!"

Wang Zhi nodded and said:
"Now you have all seen the equipment of the new army in the future! How about it, are you confident that you will lead such two armies in the future and kill all the Tartars?"

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Shen Lian and Pei Lun looked at each other, and Qi Qi shouted excitedly:

"Yes! Of course we have. With such equipment, if we still can't beat the Tartars, we'll be called soldiers!"

Hearing the two people's reply, Wang Zhi patted the two people's shoulders with a smile, and said:

"Okay, you guys go back! Just calm down for a few days, Pei Lun, your force is not enough, you are the same as Shen Lian, come to me to train!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhuo Yifan beside him:

"Fanzi, I will leave Pei Lun to you! You teach him how to use a rifle, how to fight and stab, um, teach him Bajiquan as well!"

Zhuo Yifan was bored a long time ago, when he heard that Wang Zhi had arranged things for him, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll drill him well!"

Hearing Wang Zhi's arrangement, Pei Lun knew that the younger man in front of him was his master, so he immediately bowed to Zhuo Yifan and said:
"Please Taoist priest teach me!"

Zhuo Yifan waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, I will teach you without reservation! Say yes first, but it's very hard!"

Pei Lun said indifferently:
"The training in the army is not as overwhelming as Pei!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Lun and Shen Lian also knew that they couldn't stay here for a long time, and when Shen Lian took off his armor, they left.

After that, the two went to the Taoist temple to receive training from the monk and Zhuo Yifan every day.

On this day, on Jiachen, August [-], the seventh year of Tianqi, Xi Zong collapsed on the bed, and on the twenty-fourth of the same month, Ding Si and Xin Wang Zhu Youjian ascended the throne as emperor.

Zhu Youjian, who ascended the throne, weakened the rights of Wei Zhongxian's family with the help of hundreds of officials, but in order to demote Wei Zhongxian, the group of ministers persuaded him for a long time, Zhu Youjian no longer had any excuses, and continued to let Wei Zhongxian take charge of the East Factory .

At this point, Wei Zhongxian's power is no longer the same as it was before, and Wei Zhongxian's family in the Central Plains of Jinyiwei was taken down by Zhu Youjian, and Lu Wenzhao was ordered to control Jinyiwei.

In September, Zhu Youjian appointed Sun Chengzong to take charge of the soldiers and horses in the capital, Zuo Yuliang as the general of Xuanfu Town, Sun Chuanting as the general of Jizhou Town, Cao Wenzhao as the general of Liaodong Town, and Lu Xiang promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War.

At the end of September, Zhu Youjian mobilized 100 people to form a new army, Wang Zhi was appointed as the governor, Shen Lian was transferred as the commander of the cavalry battalion, Pei Lun was the commander of the firearms battalion, and Zhuo Yifan led 25 people to form the artillery battalion. There are 100 mortars, and the other [-] are Wang Zhi's soldiers, led by monks and Gangzi.

In October, Wang Zhi chose a site outside the capital to build a barracks. At the end of November, the barracks were completed. From this day on, the new army started training.

On this day, Wang Zhi and the others stood on the commanding platform in aluminum alloy full-body armor, and waved out a large pile of weapons and equipment from the space, which immediately shocked all the soldiers in the field.

The soldiers in the audience were discussing that this Shangguan has such supernatural powers, and there is no reason not to win the battle with such a Shangguan!

Wang Zhi did this on purpose, to impress the soldiers with supernatural powers.
