[17] Tear down your nest

Everyone shouted slogans and ran to the armory station in a hurry, as soon as they heard that there were so many guys to be led, Zuo Anming was dumbfounded, a drop of sweat flowed from his sideburns, and his hands trembled and opened the warehouse of the armory.

"My mother~~ What kind of smell is this~" Xu Erduo was the first to step into the warehouse, a smell mixed with mold and rust came to his face, and after a closer look, Xu Erduo was dumbfounded, only to see that the weapons stacked in the warehouse had long been rotten. The waist knife rusted from the tip to the hilt, the brittle wooden shaft of the spear could be broken by a child, the bowstring of the crossbow broke when it was pulled, and the armor fell like rain as soon as the armor was lifted

Song Youliang's face was pale, and Zuo Anming's face was pale, "Gong~~Child~~This~~~"

Song Youliang grabbed Zuo Anming's collar and shouted angrily: "What's going on? ”

"This~ This was all purchased in the early years, before the brothers were busy making ends meet, and there were no ~~no ~~~" Zuo Anming stammered and replied

"Bastard~~" Song Youliang raised his hand and pushed Zuo Anming aside, "Gather all the craftsmen and rush to build it overnight~~"

"Zun~obey~~" Zuo Anming crawled out to call someone

Song Youliang turned to everyone again: "Tell everyone to see the jokes, I think it's better for everyone to take these weapons out, use them if they can be used, repair them if they can be repaired, and throw them aside if they can't be repaired." Pick dozens of brothers with great strength and help the brothers of the Ordnance Bureau work together~~"*** rolled up his sleeves, revealing his developed biceps, "Although I can't cast knives, I have strength~~" Saying that, he and Fan Shunbao led more than 60 people to help.

Haiyang has gathered 800 Ding Zhuang, it is impossible to create 800 standard waist knives in a short time, and the time is urgent, so Zuo Anming is simple because of his ugliness, and said to the craftsmen: "It's too late to make waist knives, let's play with both hands~~" Both hands are Pu knives, when used, hold the handle of the knife with both hands, like using a big knife, using the weight of the blade and the knife itself to kill the enemy. In terms of its length, it is not a long weapon, but a short weapon. The total length of the knife is about 60-150 cm, and the length of the blade is between 45-70 cm. In terms of appearance, it is no different from a broadsword, but compared with a broadsword, the proportion of the blade (that is, the blade part) is relatively large, which is the most obvious difference between the simple knife and the broadsword. Because it is used with two hands, it is also known as "two-handed belt".

When Xu Erduo heard that he was going to fight Pu Dao, he crooked his mouth and said, "With both hands? Xiangma Caokou used that thing~~"

Zuo Anming actually had no choice, and said with a mocking smile: "My General Liu, I'll refine the Green Dragon Glaive for you another day?" ”

Xu Erduo also heard the taste of ridicule, but he is now Song Youliang's personal entourage, and his natural value is not ordinary, so he sneered at each other: "Zuo Zongqi, hurry up and fight the knife, however, you have made Ding Zhuang of Haiyang Institute into the style of a horse thief and bandit, be careful of the son's blame~"

As a result, the soldiers of Haiyang were divided into three routes, one side of the men and horses were on guard day and night, and all the way were building weapons day and night. Wearing armor pieces, everyone in the castle thought of killing horse thieves and protecting their homeland. Even children make slingshots and pinch mud balls. The third group was led by Song Youliang's mother, Song Li, and mobilized the women of the whole fort to help harvest wheat day and night

In ten days, Hai Duong fired 480 swords, 10 muskets, 69 sets of armor, and 300 bows. Song Youliang also knew that the craftsmen made a flying thunder cannon, which is a kind of self-made weapon created by the People's Liberation Army, also known as the explosive projectile, which was originally called "flying explosives", which is a powerful earthen explosive package. The main body of this weapon, also known as the explosive projectile, is an empty gasoline barrel, which is filled with propellant, and the explosive package bundled into a disc shape is placed in it, and then the propellant is ignited, and the 20-kilogram explosive package can be projected to a distance of 150-200 meters. The caliber of this weapon is absolutely amazing - the caliber is as thick as the barrel, and the powerful blast impact produced by the huge explosive package has a strong lethality against unprotected group soldiers, and some of the more simple fortifications can also be destroyed, but it should not have enough striking power against armored targets. As long as it is within a radius of 5 meters, it is difficult for any living form or fortification to escape. After all, this explosive projectile has some similarities with heavy mortars, used at large elevation angles, with a shorter range, but surprisingly powerful. Song Youliang also marked the distance outside the fort, and marked it with small stones at 300 paces, 200 steps, 100 steps, and 50 steps away from the barrier. After careful preparations, the whole of Haiyang was united, and waited for half a day to come to the clouds to die.

On the eleventh day, sixty percent of the wheat had been harvested, and just when everyone was speculating whether the clouds would come in the middle of the day, a thick black smoke rose into the sky in the thirteen tuns east of Haiyang. The 13th Tun is a tun house, because this tun house is the thirteenth tun house, hence the name, and most of the other tun houses in Hai Duong are also named after this rule.

Bell bell bell ~~ bell ~~~

The alarm bells in Haiyang and the tun houses were sounded together, and Ding Zhuang rushed to the barrier with weapons in his hands and waited for them. In August, Ding Zhuang was sweating profusely, and he didn't know if it was because of nervousness or hot weather. Soon, a small red flag was erected on the enemy tower of the thirteen tuns, and the small red flag was planted on a straw bale. The small red flag indicates that there are 1,000 enemy troops, and the straw bales indicate that the enemy troops are all cavalry. In this era when there was no telegraph and telephone, Song Youliang had to teach some flag language as a means of communication

There was a rumble of horses' hooves, and a black line appeared on the horizon. The loess raised by the horse's hooves flew high and fluttered all over the sky

The three horses broke away from the line and came to a small dirt slope, and the first one rode a high-headed horse of maroon, about forty years of age, with big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very rough appearance, wearing a thick and dirty leather jacket, and a waist knife pinned to his waist. This person is the head of the horse thief

"The second master~~" The man raised his horsewhip and pointed to Haiyang and the surrounding tunhouses, "You see, these fortresses are built in a very orderly manner, and the small fort guards the big fort. In terms of condition, these small forts are newly built, so they are stronger and taller than those of Hai Duong. You don't go straight to the Yellow Dragon, but attack these small forts one by one, no wonder you will lose your troops and lose your troops but you will be empty-handed~"

"What the big boss said is ~" The answer was the northwest wind of the second leader of this horse thief

The third man was a bald man, and he said with a smile: "Big brother and second brother, there are only more than 1,000 men, women and children in this kind of military household tunbao combined, let me fly to Shali and chop up the cripple surnamed Xia~"

Bantianyun took out his waist knife, raised it high, and roared: "Brothers, in front is Haiyang, where the grain is piled up in the warehouse. As long as we win Haiyang, we won't have to work hard for a year~~"

"Roar~~Kill in~" The horse thieves shouted excitedly

Bantianyun roared again: "Listen~~ Our target is Haiyang, don't worry about the small wall docks around, brothers, attack with all your might, the first person to climb the barrier can be the first to pick a woman~~"

"Roar~~" The horse thief became more and more excited

"Kill~~" Half a day of cloud steel knife slashing, behind him suddenly thousands of horses galloped, and horse thieves rushed to Haiyang like a tide
