Li Yi was greatly impressed, and hurriedly thanked: "Mr. Lin is really thoughtful, the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and they really need to replenish their physical strength." It's just that thousands of catties of cooked beef were prepared in just one afternoon, and this speed must have made Mr. Lin very busy, and it was too much trouble for Mr. Lin to handle so much. ”

Hearing Li Yi say this, Lin Qingliang smiled faintly and said, "What is the big handsome saying!" There is no home without a country! With the soldiers who were born and died to defend the territory, we ordinary people can have a happy and peaceful life, and we businessmen can do business with peace of mind without worries. ”

"In the final analysis, not only the soldiers on the front line should do this, but every one of us should have the heart to serve the country, and if there is a force, we will make a contribution, so that it can be like a country."

Li Yi nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Lin said is very good, whether it is a country or a place, only with sufficient cohesion can it be invincible. All of this is based on mutual trust, and if the government loves the people all the time, the people will sincerely support you. Through this crisis, it has been shown that the support of the people is our greatest reliance. ”

Lin Qingliang also nodded and sighed, and then said: "The enemy soldiers are coming to the city, and they will destroy the lives of our Yunnan, although we have a strong city, it is not a way to hold on like this." Since Da Shuai taught Lin the art of making gunpowder, after many production tests, Lin also drummed up some things that could not be used to kill and deter the enemy, but it was somewhat useful, I don't know if Da Shuai thinks it is feasible? ”

Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, although he had taught Lin Qingliang some methods of making gunpowder, he was not proficient in it, and he didn't expect him to achieve anything at all. I didn't expect this Lin Qingliang to be able to tirelessly explore, and finally got results.

Hehe! Lin Qingliang's things often attract people's attention, since he said that he can kill and deter the enemy, there must be something outstanding, but I don't know what it is.

Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly asked in surprise: "Oh! Mr. Lin has any magic weapon to win, just say it quickly! Hehe! At the moment of the great enemy, as long as it helps to repel the enemy, Mr. Lin will not sell it. ”

Lin Qingliang beckoned people to move a heavy bamboo box more than one meter long, and said with a slight smile: "I think that back then, Lin often tinkered with some firecrackers and other things, so I thought about whether I could make a firearm that could be launched into a distance to kill and injure the enemy, so I devoted myself to developing it for several years, but nothing came of it." Hey! Unexpectedly, a few days ago, after the guidance of the handsome, I suddenly opened it and created this thing in just a few months. ”

As he spoke, Lin Qingliang opened the bamboo box and took out a few black balls from it, with leads inserted into them, and there were many huge firecrackers wrapped in cylindrical thick paper in the box, and long poles were tied to the firecrackers.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately understood Lin Qingliang's intentions. Hehe! This is to use the incendiary bombardment of large firecrackers to kill and deter the enemy! It's just that such a huge firecracker can't be thrown far away, and the threat to the enemy is not great, so it really doesn't have much effect.

Lin Qingliang saw that Li Yi was surprised at first, and then showed a somewhat frustrated expression, he had already guessed his thoughts, and said with an indifferent smile: "Dashuai doesn't know, my 'thunder' and 'rockets', there are many iron nails and iron pieces placed in them, as long as they are placed in the appropriate bamboo tube and ignited, they can be launched a hundred steps away, and after they explode again, the iron nails and iron pieces will fly in all directions to kill and injure the surrounding enemies." ”

"Moreover, the 'rocket' is filled with a lot of incendiary materials, which is very useful for attacking the enemy's food and grass materials by fire attack. I've tried these two things many times, and I didn't miss them within 100 steps, and the results are still very good. ”

Hehe! Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but suddenly realize, isn't this the so-called 'fire' in later generations? In the fixed bamboo tube, through the thrust generated by the primer burning, the firecrackers or gunpowder balls are launched into the enemy's pile, and through the impact force generated by combustion and explosion, the iron nails and iron pieces are scattered in all directions to kill and injure the enemy, or ignite the enemy's tents, grain and grass and other items.

Although Li Yi knew that the power of these two firearms was definitely not great, but in this era of cold weapons, it was enough to deter the enemy.

Li Yi first asked Wei Jing to arrange for someone to distribute the beef to every soldier in Pingyang Pass, and then arrange for someone to transport the rest of the beef to Zhulonggou. Although the quantity of beef is limited, it may not be able to meet the standard of one pound per person, but it is necessary for everyone to have a share.

At this time, the enemy launched another wave of offensive during the night, and hundreds of enemy soldiers set up ladders to try to climb the city.

According to Lin Qingliang's instructions, Li Yi and Wei Jing immediately arranged manpower to erect the huge bamboo with a length of about two meters provided by Lin Qingliang on the head of the city.

After the loud noise, the enemy's terrible screams resounded in the wilderness, although the real effect could not be seen in the dark night, but the enemy's attack formation, which was still neat and orderly just now, had already been seriously chaotic, and the sudden blow of firearms, the crowd was also chaotic.

Lin Qingliang acted in accordance with the law, and launched more than a dozen 'thunderbolts' one after another, and the enemy troops under the city were already on their backs. The offensive also naturally disintegrated, and the enemy all ran towards their camp one after another, and in the firelight, the enemy could vaguely see that more than a dozen corpses had been dropped, and most of the others were injured by iron nails and iron sheets, groaning and wailing and staggering back.

Seeing that the effect was so wonderful, everyone applauded. But Li Yi knew in his heart that the so-called 'thunder in the sky' was mainly a deterrent effect, and because the power of gunpowder was limited, the killing effect was not obvious. I am not familiar with gunpowder, but since I taught Lin Qingliang, this kind of power has far exceeded that of ordinary firecrackers, as long as it is improved, the power will definitely be even more amazing.

In the next step, we really have to put more effort into the research and development of firearms, and with these powerful weapons, wouldn't we be invincible on the battlefield in this era of cold weapons?

After disintegrating the enemy's attack, Li Yi ordered all the defenders to guard in shifts, especially Wei Jing and others have been in a state of tension and busyness for a long time, and they need to get the necessary rest, so let Wei Jing and others hurry up and make up for sleep, and Yin Quan will take over the defense work in an all-round way.
