Chapter 105: Preparing for War
Su Xiaocai took the map, looked at it for a while, and felt that the current map with no contour line, no altitude marking, and no detailed scale is actually an approximation, and for people who are not familiar with the terrain here, everything can only be guessed.
He looked at it for a while, but couldn't start marking, so he asked Di Wen to take himself to the top of the place, and then pointed to every important place as far as his eye could see, and began to mark.
Many places, even under the mountain, and far away from the mountain, have been marked with thunder marks by Su Xiaocai!
"I heard that in recent years, a firearm has become popular in the forbidden army, called Earthquake Thunder, do you want to use this thing to fight, or are you worried that Zhang Xiaochun's border army will bring this thing?"
"Hey...... What the hell we're doing! Books like "Wujing General Essentials" are the basis for the Great Song Dynasty to make weapons, I have seen their gunpowder formula, what kind of messy things have been added more than a dozen, can that thing make a firearm?
However, a while ago, I got into trouble in the capital, and in order to settle this matter, I gave Gao Yu a prescription......
If they really follow this recipe to build firearms, maybe they can also create powerful earth-shattering thunder......
Of course, the efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty is not so fast, this matter has only passed for more than a month, and it is estimated that Gao Yu, the commander of the palace, has not even equipped the forbidden army he has mastered!
Gao Yu doesn't know how to fight, he relies on shouting and fighting for credit! This time there is such a real hammer in his hand, it will definitely be enough to do the trick in front of Zhao Ji......
So the probability of this thing appearing in the hands of the border army is almost none!"
"You mean we can have it here?"
"Of course, this thing is very easy to make while making and the materials are ready......
"How powerful is it?"
"It's not that big, just break an arm or leg or something......"
"That's good, if you break your arms and legs, you can't fight anymore! Moreover, it will not be killed at one time, causing a large number of wounded soldiers, which will cause a great drag on the enemy......"
"That's good...... There is a treasure, worth five battalions, before the officers and soldiers come, hurry up and get it to the mountains!
With this thing, we can resist for at least ten days......
Think about what we're going to do with it......"
"What ......?"
"It's amazing, you can ......"
Su Xiaocai said it to Di Wen again, and Di Wen was shocked: "There is such a powerful thing, make tens of thousands, where are our enemies in this world?" ”
"Hehe, to be honest, no one in this world can make this thing, including me......"
Su Xiaocai and Di Wen were busy for a day, had dinner, reorganized the team again, determined the candidates for each battalion to lead the battle, and divided the camp area according to the establishment......
The war was imminent, and all those who had families were not allowed to go home, but lived in camps and prepared to be killed......
Sure enough, as Di Wen said, the people brought by Uncle Lu Hanfang, when they were farming at the foot of the mountain, were trained during the slack season, and they were originally very well arranged......
Therefore, the matter of reorganizing the army was quickly resolved. Lu Hanfang expressed his attitude on the spot, if anyone who dared to disobey the unified order, he would break his legs with his own hands and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves......
So after some purge, morale is still available.
The carpenters, blacksmiths, and masons brought by the wood were newly organized into a battalion by Su Xiaocai, called the ordnance construction battalion, and some strong women were selected, filling the team, reaching more than 300 people!
Otherwise, these women were led by Di Xiaoniang, working together during the day, and Di Xiaoniang personally brought them back to the women's camp at night.
First, we should grasp the command and report of the enemy's situation, and leave it to me for the time being
Su Xiaocai instructed the blacksmiths and masons to start casting the required objects and firing some clay pots according to the size and requirements he said.
They were also called masons and carpenters, and when they arrived at a deserted charcoal barn yard, they began to build heating and distillation facilities overnight according to their own requirements.
Su Xiaocai took advantage of the gap built by everyone, went back to sleep, and the next morning, he got up early and came to the renovated charcoal warehouse.
Explosive concoction with pig iron casting, empty stomach, put medicine pestle, into a small bamboo tube, through the fire line inside, with a long line outside through the fire trough, choose the only way, dozens of buried in the pit, the medicine trough through the steel wheel, soil cover, so that the thief does not know, step on the engine, when the enemy steps on the motive cable, the steel wheel rotates and the flint is sharply rubbed and ignited, detonated and shaken, the iron is like flying, and the flames are soaring to the sky.
This is Su Xiaocai's purpose...... Of course, the simple wheel axle labor-saving winding giant crossbow can also be made by carpenters!
The wood sent the purchase list out, but the purchased things could not come without three or four days, so during this period of time, Su Xiaocai concentrated on designing the giant crossbow......
The carpenters of the Five Elements Gate are indeed very powerful, and they actually made the drawings drawn by Su Xiaocai......
I made a kind of big crossbow that looked very rough, directly made of a tree trunk the thickness of an adult's arm, and the crossbow bow was one foot and five feet long, and it was fixed directly on the gate of the wall.
There are not many bows and crossbows in the cottage, and most of the ox tendons used have aged and are too useful to use, and they are all relatively small male crossbows, and the strings are too short......
Only Uncle Lu Hanfang consciously acquired and preserved some beef tendons this year, and they were well preserved, because they were primitive and not truncated, so they could be used on giant crossbows......
Su Xiaocai and the craftsmen loaded the bowstring together, and the two strong men worked hard to stir the turntable, wound it, and shot it out directly to the spear!
But everyone watched, and this spear shot out hundreds of steps! The crowd cheered......
At this time, according to the location marked by Su Xiaocai on the map, Di Wen, Mu, Niu Da, and Zheng Bufei led a team of people to find the machine gun and ten boxes of bullets that they had hidden in the cave......
These things were carried up the mountain, and everyone looked at them with a blank eye, not knowing what this thing was......
"Look at the structure of things, the most important thing is the structure of this projectile, this should be the same musket as the revolver!" Zheng Bufei said. Su Xiaocai told him that the thing given to them was called a revolver, so he knew the concept.
"When you first talked about the power of this thing, I was a little skeptical! I don't doubt it at all...... A bullet larger than the middle finger must be much more powerful than a pistol...... Di Wen lightly tapped the machine gun with the knife in his hand, and said: "No wonder you said that no one in the world can make this thing, if nothing else, just say that this steel is probably not a thing in this world......
Of course, Su Xiaocai didn't want to talk about whether this thing was a problem in this world, and said with a smile: "I know how powerful it is, just hit a shuttle and you'll know......"
