When the Xiliang Water Army was fighting bloodily, the poor Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not have time to rest, and the Han Taishi Dong Boss didn't know what was crazy, so he gathered the whole army in the middle of the night and transferred Pang De to lead 20,000 people to cut down a large number of timber and collect thatch, straw and charcoal; Wu Ban led 10,000 people to dig cellars and stoves, and also dug hundreds of large pits that could store water; The other 30,000 people were the most miserable, and they were actually sent to collect the old soil of the thatched latrines near Xiangyang, and they asked for those things that had been soaked in the reincarnation of grains for many years - dirty and smelly old soil! Only the 20,000 iron cavalry led by Lu Bu had a better life, and they were left to defend the camp and prevent the water army from happening on the other side!

After Kang Peng's order was issued, Dong Zhuojun was stunned and stunned for a long time, before Wei Yancai cautiously asked Kang Peng: "Dare to ask Taishi, what do you want us to collect these for?" "You know, the unlucky general who was transferred to collect the toilet soil is Wei Yan again.

"This is a military order, and the military order is only implemented, and there is no why!" Lu Bu, who was standing beside Kang Peng, reprimanded him seriously, and then nodded to Kang Peng and whispered: "It's still my father-in-law who is the best for me, and I didn't let the child do the unfortunate thing." ”

Kang Peng also knew that this thing seemed ridiculous, but Kang Peng didn't have time to explain now, and said directly: "Feng Xian is right, this is a military order, it will be executed immediately, and violators will be dealt with according to military regulations!" "Boss Dong's prestige in the Xiliang Army is well known, and after Kang Peng took over, he also grasped the military regulations very strictly, and Dong Zhuojun, who was full of complaints, did not dare to disobey and went separately.

"Fengxian, go to the riverside with your father to see how Zijing and Xingba are doing?" The army dispersed, and Kang Peng was always relieved that the army was fighting fiercely on the water, so he started the idea of watching the battle with Lu Bu. Lu Bu was overjoyed, agreed repeatedly, and was about to turn around to mobilize the people to protect Kang Peng, but Kang Peng stopped him again, "Wait, forget it, the Chinese army can't be left alone, don't go, be careful." He became more and more mature and understood in his heart that as the commander of the first army, he could not be limited to the victory or defeat of a local battlefield, but should coordinate the overall situation.

……

At the same time, the battle on the water also entered the white heat, less than an hour, Dong Zhuojun participated in the first water battle more than 200 small boats have lost more than 40 boats, and more than half of the injured boats, fortunately, Dong Zhuojun sailors are each equipped with six life gourds, as long as they are not washed next to the enemy warship after falling into the water, they can still save their lives. But in comparison, the losses of the Jingzhou army are even more heavy, Dong Zhuojun's only five-tooth class battleship 'Lian Po' terrifying power, far beyond the imagination of everyone including the maker Lu Su, six hanging 1,500 pounds of boulders back and forth, it will not take a few strokes to completely destroy a Jingzhou army ship, if the boat dodge is not in a hurry, then there will only be the end of the ship's destruction and death, and the denser the enemy ship, the more the power of the 'Lian Po' can be exerted, in less than an hour,' The Lian Po has sunk and damaged 19 Jingzhou military ships, and the number of small boats has reached more than 50.

Cai Mao, the chief general of the Jingzhou Army and Navy, was also shocked by the power of the 'Lian Po' at first, but after a long time, Cai Mao gradually saw the weakness of the Wuya battleship and ordered: "The big ship is scattered, don't get close to the warship, the small boat shuttles closer, shoot the sailors who master the boulder with a bow and arrow!" "The biggest weakness of the five-tooth battleship now is that the unfinished upper defense is too weak, and the sailors who master the boulder are completely exposed to the bow and arrows, and it is easy for the sailors to be hurt by the enemy.

The torches that passed the order on the Jingzhou warship waved and waved the flag, and the well-trained Jingzhou army's large and small warships scattered in turn, out of the attack range of the Wuya battleship, and the river surface that was still as dense as rice porridge just now quickly vacated an open water, and the pressure of the 'Lian Po' was sharply reduced, but Lu Su understood in his heart that the enemy had discovered the weakness of the 'Lian Po', and immediately ordered: "Erect a long shield to protect the sailors with the palm rod." ”

The torch flags flashed again, the war drums were beating, and dozens of Jingzhou army boats walked the 'zigzag' route close to the 'Lian Po', the boulder was heavy and difficult to turn, and the boat could not be accurate, so that the Jingzhou army boat quickly included the 'Lian Po' into the range of bows and arrows, and the Jingzhou army sailors who were on the water could accurately release arrows even on the swaying boat, while Dong Zhuojun's shield hand covering the sailors in charge of the pole did not have this ability, and often lost their balance and stood unsteadily, and the sailors in charge of the pole fell down one after another.

The small boat fleet led by Gan Ning saw that the 'Lian Po' was in danger, and immediately shuttled up and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Jingzhou army's boat, the sailors on both sides jumped into my boat, I rushed to your boat, slashing and stabbing guns, blood flew sideways, the boat you touched me, the sound of wood breaking and roaring screams resounded in the sky, the stumps and broken arms on the water surface rolled with the waves, and the clear river water was dyed pale red in a moment, which was particularly eye-catching under the light of the moonlight and fire.

In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the north wind became more and more violent, the temperature dropped sharply, and the battle on the river was still in full swing, with the cover of small boats, the 'Lian Po' was temporarily adjusted, but Dong Zhuo's navy was too weak after all, and the number was at an absolute disadvantage, each small boat had to face the siege of two or three, or even more enemy boats, and the unfamiliar Dong Zhuo's navy suffered heavy casualties. And Cai Mao didn't give Dong Zhuojun any chance to breathe, and sent a large number of small boats to reinforce it, and Dong Zhuo's navy was even more at a disadvantage.

Dong Zhuojun's naval commander Lu Su saw the embarrassment of his own army, although he panicked, but he remained silent, without the slightest panic, even if the ship shook and stood as steady as Mount Tai, greatly stabilized the army's heart, as the boat lost more and more, Lu Su finally found an opportunity, Cai Mao's handsome ship in order to facilitate command, has moved to the lower right of the bow of the 'Lianpo', and the north wind on the river is more violent, Jingzhou Navy in order to maintain the balance of the ship, almost all lower the sails, all rely on the force of the water to move on the river.

The only chance to win must not be missed, Lu Su decisively ordered: "Turn the rudder to the right, Zhang Quanfan, crash over!" ”

The 'Lian Po', whose hull was wrapped in five-inch thick iron armor, turned its bow clumsily, and the sails were wide open, taking advantage of the strong north wind, risking the risk of being blown over by the strong north wind, and rushed towards Cai Mao's boat, and the small boat that stopped at the bow of the 'Lian Po' capsized at the slightest touch—including the small boat of Dong Zhuo's navy that supported the 'Lian Po', rushed out of the small boat encirclement in a moment, pointing at the flagship of the Jingzhou Army. And Gan Ning also understood the meaning of Lu Su's move, and shouted in a signature manner: "Brothers, follow our Metropolitan Governor gorgeously and send the enemy to an ugly hell!" "Dong Zhuojun's surviving more than 100 small boats also ventured to sail and followed the 'Lian Po' to Cai Mao's flagship.

"Kill yourself!" Cai Mao saw Dong Zhuojun's crazy move on the flagship of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and sneered: "It's not so easy to think that my flagship will die again!" The big ship catches up and sinks it! ”

With Cai Mao's order, more than a dozen big ships quickly lined up, and stopped in front of the 'Lian Po' waterway, more big ships lurked left and right, and when the 'Lian Po' came, they went up to stop the waist and collide, and the 'Lian Po' did not have the slightest sense of fear, the sails as high as dozens of zhang were full of wind, and they were still flying on the river, and they were getting closer and closer to the Jingzhou army warships that were blocked......

……

One zhang long, five feet wide, three feet high, the top is pressed smooth like a mirror by the big stone, and the lower part is ventilated, this is the first batch of stoves built by Dong Zhuojun, there are many people with great strength, there have been a batch of toilet Chen Tu sent, which was quickly tiled on the stove, and the fire was immediately ignited under the stove, and in a moment, the damp old soil was steaming hot, and the smell was stinking, and the Han Taishi did not hate the dirtiness of these things at all, and laughed in the disgusting stench of the Chinese people. Of course, Dong Taishi also paid a heavy price for this - after that night, Wen Lu did not let Dong Taishi go to bed for at least seven days.

The puddles with two deep zhang and three zhang in length and width were also dug out a lot, and were filled with buckets of water until they were half full, and not far away, the black charcoal had just escaped from the flame hell of the fire cellar, and was sent to the grinding hell by the evil Dong Taishi, and was hammered alive into black powder, and there was no chance to return to its previous intact appearance.

Farther away, large quantities of sulphur were packed into thick leather-lined wooden boxes, crushed by smooth wooden sticks, and carefully ground into the final form, and if anyone dared to enter the work area with tinder, the Dong Zhuojun soldiers, who were guarding here with knives and guns, promised that he would not go out on all fours.

……

"Puffy!" With a loud bang, the 'Lian Po' collided with the nearest Jingzhou warship, and the people on both ships were almost unstable, and the iron-clad iron-clad ship loaded below the waterline of the 'Lian Po' immediately smashed the unlucky warship, and the turbulent river immediately poured into the Jingzhou warship, and the sailors on board were not in a hurry to save it, so they had to jump into the water to escape. The Lian Po continued to fly unharmed, and crashed into another Jingzhou warship, incomparably sinisterly knocking out a huge hole in the hull of another Jingzhou warship below the waterline, and after a while, the warship had only one way to sink. And Dong Zhuojun's sailors, who fought for their lives, braved the rain of arrows and struggled to shake the thousands of pounds of boulder on the pole, smashing the third Jingzhou warship building to pieces.

"Bang!" "Bang!" There were two loud bangs, and the two Jingzhou warships that came to pick up the cheap crashed into both sides of the side of the 'Lian Po', but the heroic Jingzhou Navy only discovered at this time that the 'Lian Po' wrapped iron plate side was not afraid of their own collision at all, and the power of the collision between the two ships only made the iron plate on the side of the 'Lian Po' bend a little, and Dong Zhuojun's sailors on the 'Lian Po' hit two stumbles. At the same time, the sailors of the Jingzhou Army who bravely attacked both sides of the 'Lian Po' suddenly discovered a major problem - the despicable and shameless Dong Zhuojun also installed iron-clad ramming horns below the waterline on both sides of the 'Lian Po', and the Jingzhou warship also broke the bottom of its own ship while hitting the 'Lian Po', which was as insidious as possible, and I really don't know if Dong Zhuojun had the cheek to see the famous general Lian Po after his death.

"Can't bump!" The sailors of the Jingzhou army shouted one after another, "The enemy ship has horns on the bottom, and it can't be hit!" "No one is not afraid of death, the Jingzhou sailors hesitated slightly, and when the officers went to urge, the 'Lian Po' had already rammed into two more Jingzhou army warships, rushed through their encirclement, and pounced directly on Cai Mao's flagship.

"Chase! Can't let him get close to our flagship! "The generals of every warship of the Jingzhou Army are shouting hoarsely, but the 'Lian Po' is risking to spread the full sail, and the manpower paddling can catch up, and when the Jingzhou Army warship also ventures to raise the full sail, the 'Lian Po' has already gone far.

"Hurry up and get out of the way!" Seeing that the 'Lian Po' was rushing towards his ship, Cai Mao also panicked, desperately urging the soldier Zhang Fan to flee and dodge, while the 'Lian Po' was in hot pursuit. On the narrow water surface of the Xiangjiang River, Cai Mao's flagship was desperately dodging and escaping, the 'Lian Po' was clutching its stern, and after the 'Lian Po', thousands of Jingzhou warships were chasing, so many that the Xiangjiang River was almost blocked.

After chasing out for several miles one after another, the 'Lian Po' continuously collided with several Jingzhou military warships covering Cai Mao's flagship, and the collision angle was broken and lost, and even the hull wrapped with iron plates began to break because of the continuous impact, and the hull was scarred, but the 'Lian Po' still clung to Cai Mao's flagship, but the distance was also widened a lot.

"Lower the sides of the slap rod!" Lu Su understood that the fighter plane was fleeting, and decisively ordered to throw down the four-pole pole on both sides, and when designing, Lu Su took into account the maneuverability of the Wuya battleship, and specially designed the pole to be quickly disassembled - of course, if it could not be disassembled at the same time, it would risk losing its balance.

At this moment, the unfamiliar Dong Zhuojun sailors burst out with amazing coordination, and the four-rod slap rod was almost unloaded and fell into the water, while the speed of the 'Lian Po' suddenly accelerated a lot, and it caught up with the flagship of the Jingzhou Army in an instant.

"Bump!" Lu Su drank. When the front side of the 'Lian Po' ship was about to collide with the flagship of the Jingzhou Army, the sailors of the Jingzhou Army cunningly turned the rudder to the side of the 'Lian Po', and the stern of the ship immediately shook to avoid the impact of the 'Lian Po'.

"Bump again!" Dong Zhuojun's sailors clumsily but bravely braved the rain of arrows to move the rudder with all their might, and the bow of the 'Lian Po' quickly turned and crashed into the back of the flagship ship of the Jingzhou Army.

"Bump again!" The helmsman of the 'Lian Po' had already fallen from several arrows, but the new sailor immediately pounced on the rudder, once, twice, and three ......times, and when it hit the seventh time, the flagship of the Jingzhou army, which was as hard as a turtle shell, was finally broken, and the river water rushed into the ship like lightning, and the Jingzhou flagship lost its balance, and Cai Mao had to order to cut the sail rope so as not to be blown over by the wind.

"Kill!" Dong Zhuojun's sailors jumped onto the flagship of the Jingzhou Army with blood-red eyes, and the target was Cai Mao in the shipbuilding, and the sailors of the Jingzhou Army did not give in, relying on their water skills, and the original flying bear army on the deck with hand-to-hand combat experience far superior to theirs was far superior to theirs, and the sounds of fighting, shouting, and screaming filled the sky.

The 'Lian Po' can carry 800 troops, while the Jingzhou flagship can only carry 600 troops, Dong Zhuojun has the upper hand in numbers, and the balance of victory on the warship gradually turns to Dong Zhuojun, Cai Mao saw that the situation was not good, and took a dozen personal soldiers to quietly sneak to the side of the ship, and quietly slipped into the boat to escape, regardless of the life or death of the sailors on the ship, and Dong Zhuojun was fighting fiercely with the Jingzhou army, and no one found out.

Not long after Cai Mao's boat was launched, he heard the loud sound of a large number of wooden planks breaking in the rear, and Cai Mao didn't need to look back to understand that his seriously unbalanced flagship had begun to sink, and the flagship was finished, which not only suffered a big demoralization for the navy, but also completely lost the command of the fleet, which meant that the Jingzhou army lost the battle.

Losing to Dong Zhuo's naval army, which had just been formed, Cai Mao of course felt ashamed in his heart, but now was not the time to be angry, Cai Mao immediately ordered the boat to pull to the east shore and prepare to escape by land. When the boat was only more than ten zhang away from the east coast, a small boat rushed in front of him, the sky was hazy at this moment, Cai Mao saw that it was Dong Zhuojun's boat, and was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, fortunately, the boat ignored Cai Mao, and passed by Cai Mao's boat, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "Land, land." ”

Before the words were finished, the Dong Zhuojun boat suddenly turned around extremely skillfully, and flew close to Cai Mao's boat, accompanied by a copper bell, a member of Dong Zhuojun's general jumped on Cai Mao's boat, and the general held a big knife and said with a frivolous smile: "Aha, ugly Cai Dadudu, do you still recognize the gorgeous Jinfan Ganning Ganxingba?" ”

……

The first batch of dried latrine soil was poured into a pit filled with clean water, and then poured into the plant ash, which weighed one-eighth of the old soil, and countless wooden sticks kept stirring in the pit until the old soil and plant ash were completely mixed.

"Master, what should I do then?" Jia Xu asked Kang Peng inexplicably, and Pang Tong also stared at Kang Peng, who was smiling, and didn't know what Kang Peng was doing.

"Soak for half a day." Kang Peng said with a smile: "Stir well, wait for the water to be clear, and then take the water and boil it dry, and the rest of the things after the appearance is boiled dry." ”

"What's left after boiling?" Jia Xu and Pang asked in unison.

Kang Peng smiled but did not answer, but a story told by his beautiful chemistry teacher flashed in his mind, in 1871, the Paris Commune was founded, the Versailles government besieged Paris, the army of the Paris Commune lacked explosives, soaked in the porch and toilet soil mixed with plant ash, and evaporated and refined the solution to make potassium nitrate crystals with a purity of more than 95%! Ideal raw material for explosives!
