Chapter XVI Pre-War Parliament

The mouth of the clay pot was sealed, and a thin rope stretched out of the mouth, Guo Rengui said: "This is it"

Everyone was puzzled, Guo Rengui said: "I call this 'crockpot falling into the dung pit, booming' haha"

Everyone frowned after hearing this, Guo Rengui raised his eyebrows disapprenorovingly, and then said: "This is fire oil, sulfur and saltpeter."

Saying that, he used a fire breaker to ignite the string at the mouth of the crockpot, and the rope burned for a while, Guo Rengui threw the crockpot out and fell to the ground, only to hear a boom, deafening, a puff of green smoke rose, and a big pit was blown out on the ground, and there were sporadic fire spots on the edge of the pit.

Li Xiao saw that this crockpot was amazingly powerful, so he took another crockpot, weighed it in his hand, and said: "This thing is really powerful, but it is too heavy, ordinary soldiers can't throw it at all."

Guo Rengui said: "Who said that the soldiers threw it, this is not thrown, look at this" said and took out an object from the treasure bag, which was composed of an iron plate and a wooden cylinder, supported by a shelf at the junction, and a mechanism at the bottom of the barrel, which was connected to the shelf by a string.

Guo Rengui pointed to the distance and said to Li Xiao: "Do you see that dirt bag from fifty zhang?" Li Xiao nodded and said, "See, what's wrong?" Guo Rengui said: "The dirt bag will be gone after a while."

Guo Rengui fiddled with the wooden barrel, lit a clay pot, stuffed it into the barrel, and then touched the mechanism under the barrel, and with a "bell", the clay pot in the wooden barrel was shot out, and went straight to the earthen bag, and with a "boom", the earthen bag was razed to the ground.

When everyone saw it, they all applauded, and they all said that this thing was good, both offensive and defensive, Li Xiao was very happy and said: "A few treasures of someone Brother Gui, the attack on Shu County is just around the corner, such as Poshu County, I will definitely invite you to drink" Guo Rengui laughed: "Do you only drink, don't you find me two chicks to play, hahaha How about brothers, these may block 100,000 troops?" After hearing this, everyone pouted and frowned.

Late at night, except for the people on duty, everyone had already slept, only Li Xiao couldn't sleep at night, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, Li Xiao was thinking about how to combine the several heavy weapons brought by Guo Rengui with actual combat, and he was a little excited in his heart, held the lamp, opened the map of Shu County, and made some marks.

I thought to myself, "The crossbow, although the range is long, but it shoots on the city wall, it doesn't play any role, the fire snake comes out of the hole, and the siege can't play a role, although the crockpot cannon can blow up the city wall, if the whole army attacks it, although it can break the city, but the casualties must be heavy, how to be good" Li Xiao tossed and turned, thinking to himself, "It would be good if I could fly in, throw Brother Rengui's 'crockpot into the dung pit' more, and blow him up" Li Xiao thought of this, a golden light flashed in front of him, and he shouted excitedly: "Fly in, fly in"

Li Xiao slapped the table and shouted: "Come on, come on" At this time, a soldier on night duty came in, Li Xiao said to the soldier: "You go quickly and invite Guo Rengui to come, say I invite him to drink, go quickly" The soldier took the order and led the door.

"Brother is so interested, it's so late, you still have to drink, okay, I'll have a few drinks with you" As soon as the words fell, Guo Rengui pushed the door in, and saw Li Xiao sitting on the bench alone, but the table was empty, where was there wine and food.

Guo Rengui said: "Li Xiao, you are making fun of me, I am dreaming of Xiaocui of the gentle country, my clothes are all off, your soldiers called me up, saying that you want to drink, what about your wine?"

Li Xiao smiled after hearing this: "I'm afraid that you won't come, so I let the soldiers say this, come on, I'll look for you to have something serious" Guo Rengui said angrily: "What kind of business can't be said tomorrow, it's the middle of the night."

Li Xiao looked at Guo Rengui and said, "Brother Rengui, do you still want to keep it for me?"

When Guo Rengui heard it, he said: "Ah, what are you keeping? What are you talking about, I don't understand?"

Li Xiao sneered: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, I touched it in your treasure bag today, hand it over"

Guo Rengui was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, I don't understand, since there is no wine to drink, I will go back to sleep and continue to dream" After speaking, he turned his head and left, Li Xiao saw this, jumped in front of Guo Rengui, blocked the door and said with a smile: "Brother Rengui, stop pretending, didn't I touch the 'Jingchuang Kite' in your treasure bag today?"

Guo Rengui saw Li Xiao Daopo, so he said: "What can I do if I touch it, the 'Jingchuang Kite' has not been completed yet, and I am still researching"

Li Xiao smiled again: "If it's not done, will you take it with you?" If it's not done, you'll be like a baby, and you won't even be allowed to look at it" Guo Rengui laughed and said: "I can't hide anything from you Li Xiao, what is the use of you wanting to 'create a kite'" Li Xiao said: "Maybe fly?" Guo Rengui replied: "Yes" Li Xiao said again: "How many?" Guo Rengui said: "Eight" Li Xiao smiled: "Can you make a few?" Guo Rengui said: "It's not possible now," Jingchuang Kite 'can fly needs a precious metal, Dongning doesn't have it, I made these eight almost bankrupt" Li Xiao said: "Brother Rengui, money is like dung, don't be too sad, eight is eight, you go back to sleep" After speaking, Li Xiao turned around, slippers went to bed, Guo Rengui stood at the door, looked at Li Xiao a little crying and laughing, and whispered: "Inexplicably, I didn't drink the wine, and I also leaked all the old bottom" After speaking, he patted his mouth and left.

"Lu Yongsheng, invite all my four senior brothers, Runfeng, Wan Fang, Boss Ke, and Guo Rengui" Li Xiao sat in the conference hall, and after a while, eight people arrived one after another, Li Xiao smiled and said to Runfeng: "Runfeng, how many horses do we have now?" Runfeng replied neatly: "About 30,000" Li Xiao nodded and asked Po Jun: "Senior brother, if you are equipped with all the 'Fierce Shooting Repeater', 'Fire Snake Out of the Hole' and 'Clay Pot Cannon' brought by Brother Rengui, how many people can hold Dongning?" Po Jun stroked his beard and said: "Three thousand people are enough" Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "What if it's five thousand?" Po Jun laughed and said: "If it's five thousand, Dongning will be foolproof" Li Xiao nodded and said: "Lu Yongsheng, how about letting you supervise the weapons built overnight?" Lu Yongsheng said: "General, I gathered all the people who can help, and after one night of building, there are more than 100 crossbows, more than 20 fire snakes and clay pot cannons" Li Xiao nodded and said: "Increase the speed, equip all the troops before dark, go and do it" Lu Yongsheng took the order to retreat, and Li Xiao said to Boss Ke and Wan Fang: " Two big brothers, are the people you brought willing to participate in the war?" Boss Ke hurriedly said: "Brother, what are you talking about, looking down on us?" Wan Fang also said: "General, don't worry too much, I wait for the horses, all under the command of the general, and none of them will escape from the battle" Li Xiao smiled and said: "Great, I believe you" Changzhi had guessed Li Xiao's intention and asked: "Xiao'er, do you want to fight Shu County?"
