Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 173 Take some time to guide

Just when Lin Yi was in a daze, Prince Qing patted him.

"Lin Yi, now that we have enough materials and the gun is ready, it's time for you to give us a lesson, right?"

Prince Qing smiled while holding the wine glass.

Although they should be happy in front of the hot pot on this New Year's Eve, after getting tired of watching the actors singing and performing, they turned their thoughts back to their "work".

"Lin Yi, I heard that you designed this thing as a set, right?"

"Why not have a chat at this more private time?"

Seeing that there was enough raw food around the hot pot, they were actually basically full. Huangfu Qingling said as she asked the eunuchs and palace maids around to leave.

This way we can have a good chat.

“It’s indeed a set.”

Lin Yi said slowly, "If it were just a musket like this, it would be useless on the battlefield."

"A cavalry charge alone would have been enough to kill the musketeer."

After saying this, Prince Qing, Yu Jin, and even Yang Jian and Huang Chang all nodded.

"But this matchlock gun is really powerful."

Huangfu Qingling thought for a moment and said, "If it could be shot more accurately and farther, it would be a very powerful weapon."

"We have artillery to shoot farther."

Lin Yi explained, “These things are all integrated.”

Then he began to talk about his understanding.

In fact, most of them are just some popular science videos that I saw on TV and mobile phones in my previous life.

He is not a big military fan. Most of his knowledge about these things comes from watching keyboard warriors arguing with each other in the comments.

"First, the musketeers' four-line formation I mentioned."

As Lin Yi spoke, he found a wooden stick and started drawing on the ground.

After the wooden stick is burnt, the charcoal fire can actually draw marks on the ground.

The "shooting in line" gameplay is used on the matchlock gun, which has slow loading and insufficient accuracy.

This is a very ordinary thing for Lin Yi, but it is a very extraordinary thing for Prince Qing and even Huangfu Qingling.

"Forming a square formation to fire can attack the enemy over a large area at a long distance."

"But the disadvantage of the matchlock is that it can fire straight, not curved like a bow or crossbow..."

Lin Yi said as he looked at everyone's expressions.

There were expressions of novelty on their faces and their eyes were full of excitement.

"As for how to use it, it depends on the strength of your army, Prince Qing."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If there's someone with exceptionally accurate shooting skills, we could train him individually. He could hide on the flanks and attack the enemy generals in the future."

Although this way of playing does not follow the ethics of martial arts, we are using matchlock guns, so what ethics of martial arts are needed?

"Lin Yi, can this gun be used on horseback?"

"If the weight is reduced, it should be possible to use it with one hand, right?"

Yu Jin suddenly had an idea.

When he heard Lin Yi talking about the shortcomings of muskets, he also heard that cavalry could rush in.

So...is there any hope for combining cavalry and muskets?

"No problem at all."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "If there is a demand, we can make some short barrel guns."

As he spoke, a mysterious smile crossed his lips.

"You can also use wood as ammunition, put iron scraps inside, and when the wood explodes..."

Hearing this, Prince Qing swallowed his saliva.

He really couldn't imagine that after bombs and muskets, Lin Yi could come up with such a cruel thing.

Every weapon Lin Yi designed for the military can only be described as insane.

They are all aimed at inflicting large-scale casualties and destroying the enemy's morale.

Just this bomb... they have been put through actual "tests", where they can defeat 70,000 with 10,000 men, and can crush those soldiers armed with swords, spears, and bows with almost no damage!

"After the explosion, the fragments won't fly far, but they can cause massive damage at close range."

"The cavalry will use this to charge the front line, and then rush inside to disrupt the enemy!"

Yu Jin followed Lin Yi's idea and became more and more excited. "Let's call this thing a carbine."

This kind of thing... would be too terrifying if it were ever created!

But they really made it!

"I've heard you talk so much about muskets, but what about cannons?"

"Are they those trebuchets?"

Huangfu Qingling naturally knew some siege equipment, and catapults had existed before she was born.

"No, Lin Yi's is even more terrifying."

"That's what really makes the walls useless."

Prince Qing said, "I have a rough idea of ​​Lin Yi's cannon."

"Tell me?"

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly and asked Prince Qing to help explain.

"It's basically a large arquebus with a thickened barrel and a large iron ball inside!"

Hearing this, Huangfu Qingling suddenly understood.

If the caliber becomes larger, no fortified city can stop it!

"Cannons are usually placed at the rear, in the center of the army."

"Then clear a path for the artillery, with soldiers stationed on both sides for protection."

While explaining, Lin Yi told the most powerful way of playing that he knew in his previous life.

After all, in the history of the past, this kind of gameplay swept across Europe!

There were military formations on both sides in a "line-up shooting" formation, and artillery in the middle, which formed an overall long-range strike.

The enemy might lose their morale before they even rush up.

"Lin Yi, after all this talk, are you interested in leading a musketeer team?"

"We can pick anyone we want in the army."

Prince Qing and Yu Jin looked at each other and said, "Huang Chang and Yang Jian can also train together in it."

"Do not."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I don't even want to be an official, how can I possibly want to lead troops?"

"Just make money honestly!"

He said and smiled.

At this moment, Prince Qing and Yu Jin felt the same discomfort that Huangfu Qingling felt.

Such a top genius, but unwilling to do these things!

But at least, the designs he came up with are all usable by himself!

"Besides, I also have to work on the construction of the Donghai City harbor. I'm very busy!"

Lin Yi added a sentence, hoping that the two people would give up this idea.

"How about this, Lin Yi, you just give some guidance."

"After the New Year, when the assassin's case is concluded, I can give them some guidance."

Huangfu Qingling spoke in a semi-commanding tone.

"Alright, let's call this new type of musketeers the New Army."

"Separate from the old army and establish a separate sequence."

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

Huangfu Qingling has spoken, what can I do?

As they talked, everyone enjoyed themselves eating hotpot and singing in the Imperial Garden.

After the hot pot, they went back to rest.

……

The next morning, Lin Yi was woken up by Bao Bu Tong before he even opened his eyes.

"That person is awake!"

Bao Bu Tong rushed into Lin Yi's room and anxiously woke him up.

"Who's awake?"

Lin Yi was still a little confused, his head was buzzing, and he could only keep trying to calm himself down.

After getting up, he completely recovered.

He realized that it was the assassin from yesterday who had woken up!

You can interrogate now!
