After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

The birds were hit by the flintlock rifles and both fell to the ground.

Li Min couldn't help but concentrate as he examined the wound caused by the long pole.

"The wound was deep and the blow was fatal."

Yuehong and Moxuzhi surrounded them.

"This is a flintlock rifle. With more training, you can use this gun to kill the soldiers guarding the city wall." Mu Qing stood next to them.

Shen Moyan did not put away his gun. He fired three shots in one minute, and three more flying birds were hit by the bullets.

Mu Shengda held the bird in his hand, not caring that the wound was still bleeding:

"How much is this gun?"

Mu Shengda looked at this magical weapon. Anyone who had fought in a war or charged as a soldier would not be able to refuse such a flintlock rifle.

Mu Shengda was the same. His eyes were completely glued to the gun in Shen Moyan's hand and he couldn't move them away.

Facing Mu Shengda's inquiry, Mu Qing just smiled and said, "You will know tomorrow."

One hundred flintlock rifles were already equipped on the soldiers.

Ten were left for the soldiers defending Anping City, and another ten were assigned to each captain.

Situ Jin and Xiang Quan each had a flintlock rifle.

Mu Wu was young and was not equipped with a flintlock rifle.

The recoil of a flintlock rifle is quite large.

When shooting, Situ Jin would use his right cheek to fix the butt of the gun, and when retreating, he would also consciously move his cheek away, all due to the recoil of the flintlock.

Even in the days of flintlock rifles, soldiers firing rifles often had to turn their heads to the side.

The power of the flintlock rifle is unquestionable. Zhuge Huaian put down his fan:

"It seems that the master has concealed a lot of information from me."

Mu Qing yawned and pretended not to hear Zhuge Huaian's voice.

When Li Min saw Fei Niao being shot down, he agreed to the plan to attack Shucheng.

After several people carefully formulated the relevant plans, the army was ready to march towards Shucheng early the next morning.

Situ Jin has rich experience in leading troops.

This army of 30,000 was led by Situ Jin as the commander, and Mu Wu and Xiang Quan as deputy commanders.

The army advanced towards Shucheng in an orderly manner.

This was the first time that Mu Shengda mixed in with Anping’s silver-armored soldiers.

He was wearing a uniform custom-made battle armor, which was quite heavy. Soldiers who did not train regularly would find it difficult to run while wearing it, and they might even feel tired after walking for a while.

But these Anping soldiers have already walked a long way, and no one has taken a rest due to fatigue.

If it weren't for his good health, Mu Shengda would have been out of breath after running a few steps in this set of armor.

But this is not the only difference between Anping soldiers and other soldiers.

Mu Shengda noticed the style of his team the first time he joined the team.

Serious, meticulous and disciplined.

These were the first impressions the silver-armored soldiers gave him.

Since he joined the team, he was no longer Mu Shengda but was treated completely as a soldier.

While the soldiers around him were quickly setting up camp, boiling water and preparing food, it took Mu Shengda a while to learn how to set up camp.

In the army, even if you come across river or stream water, you cannot drink it directly.

Soldiers would boil it before drinking it. In fact, during the epidemic, not only soldiers but almost all the people in Anping knew these experiences.

Mu Shengda didn't know the principle behind it, but seeing everyone doing it, he just did it.

In addition to the food the soldiers carried with them, there were special soldiers responsible for transporting food and fodder.

Today's meals were distributed by the cooks, and several cooks took out a cloth bag from behind them.

He broke off the food in his hand and gave a piece to each of them.

When the food was handed to Mu Shengda, he looked at it in confusion.

Before he could figure out how to eat it, a soldier around Mu Shengda came over and taught him how to eat the compressed rice.

The food in Mu Shengda's hand was a substitute version of "compressed biscuits" that Mu Qing found by consulting the knowledge in his mind.

The steps for making compressed rice are not difficult.

Start by taking a stone of rice, cooking it, drying it, and then picking out the messy impurities.

After repeating this process about ten times, the rice will be almost broken into pieces.

At the same time, one stone of rice became 2 dou of rice, which is jin.

This is compressed rice.

20 kilograms of compressed rice is enough for a soldier to eat for about 50 days.

The compressed rice that Mu Shengda had just received was broken off from the compressed rice carried by the cook.

The soldiers next to Mu Shengda put their own pressed rice in the water and cooked it together with Mu Shengda's.

Mu Shengda watched as a small piece of grain was boiled into a bowl of thick porridge, and paired with the pickles and salted fish he brought with him.

Apart from anything else, compared to the hard-to-swallow dry steamed buns, this is simply divine military rations.

In fact, Anping has quite a lot of types of military rations, which are convenient for carrying.

Mu Qing not only produced compressed rice, but also compressed vermicelli.

The history of compressed vermicelli can be traced back to the Song Dynasty.

According to the Song Dynasty's "Wujing Zongyao", one stone of rice is boiled in a pot and then dried in the sun until it becomes two dou, then compressed rice strips can be made.

The main food crop at that time was corn.

Mix the corn and rice together and cook them in a pot. After they are cooked, take them out and drain them. Then use your hands to pinch them into rice strips and place them in front of the window to dry in the sun.

Finally, mash it and dry it again.

The steps are similar to those for compressing rice. After four rounds of steaming and drying, you can get compressed rice strips.

In addition to these two foods, the "compressed biscuit" series naturally also includes rice buns and round cakes.

Mu Shengda's second meal consisted of charcoal-grilled cakes placed over the fire.

The round cakes are crispy and salty after being grilled over charcoal fire.

The cake that Mu Shengda was holding was taken out of his bag. He had never studied the bag in his arms.

The bag contained not only round cakes with small holes poked in them and strung together with ropes, but also flints and various exquisite props.

Only Mu Shengda couldn't imagine that there was nothing missing from this bag.

So this is what it feels like to serve in the army in Anping.

After the surrounding soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, they took turns to keep watch. Mu Shengda was assigned to one of the night watch posts.

He looked at the soldier who helped him cook porridge today, and when he thought of the things in the bag, he blurted out a question:

"Does each of us have a knife like this in our bag?"

Mu Shengda knew that Anping had food and money, but this was too arrogant.

Mu Shengda couldn't even imagine that every soldier was equipped with a silver knife, and even had various weapons in their bags.

"Well, this is a multipurpose bag. The army also has first aid kits, but the needles, thread and alcohol in the bag are only used by military doctors. I heard that there will be a small class soon, and the first aid kits should be promoted."

"In addition to the sword, everyone must also be equipped with a thunderbolt, right?"

Mu Shengda was surprised by how well-equipped the team was (it was definitely not because the gap was too big!).

"Heavenly thunder? Is this what you are talking about?"

The soldier took out a grenade from the package on the other side of him.

Mu Shengda's expression was unpredictable at this moment.
