Back in the courtyard, she opened the wooden box Qiu Xu had given her, took out two flintlock pistols, went out of the house, walked to the stream, and gave them to Ling Qi and Ling Ba respectively.
These two are top-notch generals in the army, and their archery skills are beyond question, so Qiu Yan believes that they will definitely become very accurate.
“Come with me.”
The two paused slightly.
Ling Ba: "Xiao Yan, what is this?"
Qiu Yan: "A musket."
Ling Qi: "What can it do?"
Regarding firearms, they had only heard the sound of gunfire that day, but had never seen them or knew how to use them.
"Weapons, what do you think they can do?"
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she walked towards the mountains and forests.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba paused slightly and followed Qiu Yan towards the mountains.
Upon reaching the mountains and forests, Qiu Yan, wielding a musket, aimed at the birds flying in the sky.
Thud... The bird landed.
The two men watched Qiu Yan's movements, their blood boiling with excitement.
They held muskets in their hands, their faces filled with disbelief.
Ling Qi exclaimed, "This weapon is excellent."
Ling Ba nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's small and exquisite, and easier to use than a bow and arrow."
"You haven't seen any better weapons than this." Qiu Yan really wanted to create guns from the modern world, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough raw materials.
She believed that with enough raw materials, she would be able to create amazing weapons.
Of course, this is also thanks to her fondness for disassembling and assembling guns in the real world.
This musket is inconvenient to reload, has a slow rate of fire, and is prone to inaccuracies.
However, this is good enough for the soldiers.
At the very least, it's better than some cold weapons.
For this reason, Ah Xu and Gao Chong put in a lot of effort.
If they win this battle, she must make sure Gu Qian properly thanks Ah Xu and Gao Chong.
In the following period, she began to teach Ling Qi and Ling Ba how to use a musket.
Just as she had expected, the two understood each other immediately.
Watching their almost practiced movements, Qiu Yan said:
"Just practice a bit, then we'll hit the road."
"Set off?" they both asked in unison, puzzled.
Qiu Yan: "You guys go, go to the military camp to assist Gu Qian and help him kill enemies and defeat generals."
She knew that war was approaching, and these two were Gu Qian's right-hand men; it would be a waste of their talents for them to follow her.
Ling Qi said in a deep voice, "The general ordered the two of us to protect you."
Ling Ba nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Ling Qi, you should go. I can manage Xiao Yan here on my own."
Ling Qi remained silent after hearing this.
He certainly wanted to leave, but he was also afraid that if something happened to Qiu Yan, the general would punish him.
However, Qiu Yan said:
"Not a single one can be left behind. Gu Qian needs you all more." Qiu Yan's words were firm, while Ling Qi and Ling Ba looked conflicted.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Qiu Yan continued:
“When the imperial court conscripts soldiers, the common people are duty-bound to do so. You, as Gu Qian’s deputy generals, are even more obligated to serve the country. Are you really willing to stay here in this Baiyang Mountain Village with only me as your wife?”
If it weren't for these three children, she would really want to fight alongside Gu Qian.
She was genuinely worried about his safety.
The two were also conflicted.
Ling Qi: "Xiao Yan, the general said that even if the sky falls, we are not allowed to leave."
Ling Ba: "General, I fear that the people of Western Qin might try to use you to deal with them."
After all, this kind of thing only happened recently, and there's no guarantee it won't happen again.
This is also the biggest reason why Gu Qian did not keep Bai Lu.
"You just go ahead, I won't let this happen." Since we chose Gu Qian, we should face everything.
Qiu Yan always thought about the overall situation.
If you can't beat them, just hide; as long as you survive, that's enough.
