Chapter 416 - 232 Brother Qian_2
He said he bought this Three-Eyed Fire Musket from a hunter named Jiao Fa six months ago. Jiao Fa’s older brother could manufacture fire muskets, and upon seeing it, he became extremely interested. Not only did he learn how to make fire muskets, but he also improved them.
Prince Ning excitedly stood up, took the Three-Eyed Fire Musket, and walked outside. As he walked, he said, "Come, let’s see if it’s really as magical as they say."
They arrived at an open space, where Prince Ning handed the Three-Eyed Fire Musket to Liang Jinzhao, pointing to an artificial hillock eighty meters away and said, "Hit that willow tree."
Liang Jinzhao ignited the gunpowder to fire the lead bullets and with three loud bangs, a branch of the willow tree snapped off completely. It was indeed far more powerful and had a longer range than a regular fire musket.
Liang Jinzhao added, "It’s best used by cavalry. When the enemy is far away, it can be used to shoot them. When they are close, it serves as a ’Wolf Fang Club’ for melee combat. Moreover, I have also thought of a three-stage firing formation, combining infantry and cavalry tactics..."
Prince Ning, more and more pleased as he listened, said to Liang Zechong and Liang Yiqian, "The tiger’s whelp of a general’s family, the tiger’s whelp indeed."
Liang Yiqian modestly smiled and said, "My son has been learning from Master Beikong since he was young. His different way of thinking is also largely thanks to the master’s teachings."
Prince Ning nodded and said, "Great students often come from great teachers, indeed."
Suddenly, Liang Jinzhao lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying to Prince Ning, "Your Highness, I have another matter to report, and I ask for your permission to speak."
Seeing his solemnity, Prince Ning paused, then said, "Please speak, Junior General Liang."
