Chapter 212 Longchong Army

But before there was time to celebrate, the first time the musket was produced was taken away by the moat led by Allen himself and sent to the temporary musket team in the army.

This musket team was drawn from the 1,200 moat team. The elite talents who are good at using muskets are all good guys between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.

The Musketeers currently have only 30 people, and the captain is the veteran who had previously tested the Eugenic muskets in the castle, and is also responsible for guiding them on how to use the Eugenic muskets.

The musket as an experimental product was also handed over to them. During this week, their only training task was to be familiar with this new musket. Everyone also carried out several live ammunition shootings to feel the power and usage of this musket.

With the basis of using flintlock muskets, these soldiers were familiar with new weapons very quickly and did not feel unfamiliar when they were used to shoot.

Indeed, the new Eugen musket and the old flintlock have many similarities, and the feeling of shooting is similar. The biggest difference is the loading and loading of bullets. This part is relatively simple in its structure and is naturally very quick to learn.

A week later, everyone's shooting results with new muskets were very good, and they could maintain a very high hit rate between 200 and 300 meters.

Moreover, the shooting frequency reaches an astonishing average of ten shots per minute, which is quite terrible. In one minute, heavy armored infantry can only advance at most fifty meters. The cavalry should be faster, but can only advance about a hundred meters. During the period of advancing by the enemy, musketeers using new muskets can effectively attack.

The effective range of the new musket is 600 meters, and it takes five minutes for the fastest cavalry to rush to the muskets. When thirty soldiers use muskets to shoot at the same time, a total of 1,500 bullets can be fired in these five minutes.

What kind of cavalry can escape such barrage?

The answer is, no!

Once muskets were released, cavalry began to gradually withdraw from the stage of history. Now, Eugen's new muskets were manufactured and mass-produced, which completely put an end to the cavalry.

Eugen could already imagine how shocking his new muskets would have caused to the nobles. The sound of the muskets was like a thunderbolt that would wake up those nobles who were immersed in the dreams of the old era.

When Allen transported the new muskets to the troops, Eugen was giving speeches to the soldiers here. This was his first formal army, and Eugen was also quite excited.

"You will be the nightmare of all cavalry, infantry, archers. You will completely end their era. This is your stage! This is your era! Use new muskets to penetrate the enemy's defenses, smash the enemy's bodies, and make the enemy frightened by your name. From today on, you will only belong to an invincible army that will resound throughout the earth. The name of this army is----Longxiang Army!"

Eugen stood in front of the thirty young men and roared like a roar. The soldiers seemed to have been lit in their hearts as if a fire was lit in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shout warmly.

"Longxiang Army!Longxiang Army!Longxiang Army!"

The team's momentum reached its peak for a while. After feeling the power of the new musket, the soldiers' hearts surged with infinite confidence.

That terrible weapon is far more than any previous musket, and even more than a cold weapon like a sword. The thickest round shield, stacked together, can be directly pierced through a huge gap.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Eugen took advantage of the situation and announced: "From now on, Hero Simon will be appointed as the commander of the Longxiang Army. We will be directly responsible for me and command all the soldiers of the Longxiang Army."

The order was issued, and a mature and steady figure walked out of the Dragon Horse Army, half-kneeled in front of Eugen, and accepted Eugen's appointment with a knight's salute.

His Excellency Simon, the veteran, also had many conversations with Eugen when he taught the Dragon Horse Army soldiers to use muskets.

These conversations mainly involved issues such as how guns were used. At the same time, Simon also put forward many suggestions for improvement to Eugen from the use of guns.

Through these conversations, Eugen also discovered that this veteran had extraordinary insights, had a very in-depth view of the problem, and his personality was very mature and steady, with a strong and general style.

At the same time, Eugen remembered that most of his command team were young people. Although they were full of vitality, they also lacked some sense of sophistication and stability.

Later Eugen learned about some of Simon's situation. It turned out that he was the former lord of the Lebir region and a concubine's son of the Duke of Ljubljana family. The Duke of Ljubljana left here, but he stayed here and became a soldier in the city moat of Lebir.

From this point of view, Simon is enough to serve as a general in terms of identity, qualifications, and personality. Eugen immediately decided to give him a position and let him join the command team.

After thinking about it, the most suitable position is the commander of the Longxiang Army. The Longxiang Army has just been established and it is really time for a reliable leader to stabilize the morale of the army.

Although the "League" led by Commander Simon's Legion is smaller now, it has a very broad future. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this legion is quite good. It can be imagined that the name of Longxiong will spread to every corner of the continent in the future.

After the appointment of the Legion Commander, Captain Allen brought the new guns to the front of the Dragon Horse Army. The guns were displayed in boxes of two meters in length, with red velvet pads underneath.

The black gun body and the red pads complement each other, with a different beauty. The soldiers of the Longxiong Army looked at these guns eagerly, just like looking at their own bride.

If weapons are a lifelong companion for soldiers, these new muskets are of Marilyn Monroe's level.

Of course, for Eugen's No. 1 Steel Plant, this is just the beginning.

The new muskets were sent to each soldier in turn, and Alan also transported two large boxes of bullets, with a total of 900 rounds, each with thirty rounds.

"Are you ready? Soldiers, your new weapons are hungry, longing for the blood of the enemy!" Simon shouted loudly at the Longxiong soldiers.

"Prepare it! Sir!" The soldiers in front of them responded loudly. The momentum of the thirty soldiers was even more spectacular than that of the thirty soldiers.

"Okay, next is our first battle of the Dragon Xiang Army. I hope you can show the momentum of the Dragon Xiang Army!" After shouting this, Simon turned around and looked at Eugen and said, "The Dragon Xiang Army can set off at any time, Lord Eugen!"
