Xuanyi, Song Aoxing ran over to report to Lin Xi: "The Master, the Master, it's all done, along the side of the ship every one zhang wide have made a pick wood, three feet on the waterline, all of which are supported by triangles, and the length of the pick is also one zhang long, a total of twenty-six, two more on the side of the ship is twenty-eight, the brazier is made of iron buckets, put one or two liters of fire oil, the others are sawdust and wood blocks and salt, kitchen miscellaneous, and some are garbage in our ship, drowning, broken sails or something, thanks to our civil engineering masters, especially many." , otherwise it wouldn't be good. ”

One after another, these smoke barrels have begun to ignite and smoke, they are actually decent, there is some thick smoke billowing together, some stinky and stinking, and some are glowing, Lin Xi came up with a word in his heart "bizarre", there is a word that is about to come out, and he was pinched by Lin Xisheng - "ingenious work", that word struggled a few times, Lin Xi said in his heart - disrespectful, this is a disrespectful word, it can't be used here, and finally the word retreated unwillingly.

Lin Xi shook his head, feeling a little funny and a little worried in his heart...... Forget it, now you should be worried about escape.

Lin Xi came back to his senses, but when he saw Song Aoxing's face full of longing, he suddenly felt a little unclear about the situation, he retraced the question just now, however, it was obvious that the time for this process to speak had exceeded Song Aoxing's professional dignity, Song Aoxing said embarrassedly: "Then, Master, I'll check it again." With that, he left.

Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders and secretly explained to himself: Well, the preparation work can never be done, and then he took a long breath, thinking to himself, there must be a while, and he can't breathe in the pure sea breeze.

Taking a breath, Lin Xi's head was raised upward, and as a result, when he saw the lookout wrapped in brass skin, it was so bright and conspicuous, and he thought to himself, I didn't give Song Aoxing a good face just now, right, isn't this the best bait.

Song Qing ran over and was about to show his merit to Lin Xi, but when he saw Lin Xi's gaze, he was looking at the golden lookout, his face immediately turned dark, he slapped his face, and only said, "Venerable Master, I'll find someone to get a piece of cloth and wrap it." ”

It didn't take long for the entire Xuanyi to be shrouded in a gloomy mist, because Song Qing not only wrapped the lookout with cloth, but also smeared a lot of gray and black things, looking at it from a distance, it seemed that it should have experienced heavy losses in the flames of war, shrouded in the embers of fireworks.

Tu Xicai and Song Aoxing are still continuing to direct the battle, knocking out the nearest threat to them.

Lin Xi climbed to the lookout again, and said to Lin Xi: "Master, after the smoke was lit, at first some of the small boats were quite positive, but they were burned by the fire night fork and burned more than a dozen small boats, there was a fire around us, smoke and dust, I couldn't see it clearly, but the enthusiasm of the big ships was small, especially within two miles, now our killing accuracy is very good, their eight-bull crossbows can only shoot our boats, but there is no accuracy, and they can't burn, their trebuchets, the accuracy is too poor, I just saw at least two or three small boats, overturned by their own trebuchets. ”

Lin Xi asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

"Now the situation is a little delicate, I see that there are some big ships, which do not seem to be in a hurry, and others, which seem to turn around and go a little south, but it is not easy to judge at this time. ”

"I saw three loach boats, which seem to have sent messenger rockets, and their targets may be us, and the others, the current attack may show signs of weakening." ”

Lin Xi asked: "Tell me, if we say that we were hit, will they attack or not?" In other words, under what circumstances are we most likely to escape the attack? ”

He said, "Venerable Master, after all, we are just lookout posts, and there are rules for joining the army, and we cannot learn the art of war, and no one teaches us, that is, if we can hear something in a blind chat, we will think about it, but we dare not spoil the Venerable Master's great affairs." ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and patted the shoulders of the head and the head: "In our world, there was once a great man, he didn't learn the art of war, he almost no one taught, but he created a miracle in the history of world wars, and even a miracle in the history of mankind, his name is Mao Zedong, he is respected as ***, he is determined to create a country where the people are the masters of the country, a prosperous and powerful country, he is relying on mobilizing the peasants, arming the peasants, educating the peasants, and overthrowing the decadent ruling class, Fighting the attacks of the combined armies of the eight most powerful countries in the world, he led the people on the path to independence. You are at least literate, rest assured, I used to teach the little babies who did not know how to speak, there is some experience, few people are born stupid, you can be a soldier to eat food, the head is enough, the next thing, is to work hard to learn, master the basic knowledge, find your own specialty, as long as there are a few things, success, you or have real confidence growth, that sense of success is your best teacher. ”

Tin Ding and Tsuntou looked at each other, but did not speak, as if a little shocked.

Lin Xi thought about it, forget it, at this time, it is best to talk about something practical, the war is raging, and it is not appropriate to talk about this kind of homely thing, so he said: "We have time to talk about learning in detail." Now, let's talk about your personal opinions, it's always helpful, at least some information you know, and I don't know."

Ziding looked at the pinnacle, and the pinnacle winked at the pin, and the ziding groaned slightly, and then said: "Then I'll try to talk about it, if we are about to sink and have no combat effectiveness, the pseudo-yuan ship, no matter whether it is a big ship or a small boat, will want to bully us, after all, the head is a war achievement." Therefore, if there is no combat effectiveness, it will be eaten and even beaten. ”

The head nodded affirmatively: "Venerable Master, our combat strength is fierce, it looks like we will not live long, whoever comes, who catches it, will be beaten to death and pulled on a cushion." ”

Lin Xi was amused when he heard it: "I like this statement, we can't do anything else, it's just that beating people is better than them now." Well, but I have a question, if we are too good at beating people, won't the pseudo-yuan think that we are too harmful, and come together to encircle and suppress them? ”

He said, "That's right just now, but now, it's just two words." ”

Lin Xi was surprised: "Why? ”

He pointed to the sea: "Master, please see, there are no yachts or boats around us anymore, this is because our 100 steps to burn the sky and the fire yaksha are too fierce, within 200 steps, as long as there are three or four fire yakshas, or one hundred steps to burn the sky, that boat will become an oil lamp." They can't stop us, only boats above the small loach boat can pose a threat to us. Look at the three new loach ships in the southwest, they are our threat, and within two miles, their eight-bull crossbows are harmful to our deck operations.

Two miles away, the lethality is there, but the accuracy is too poor.

But, you see, now the big ships, ignoring us, are heading directly to the east.

In the entire outer sea of the Song Army's front line, only we have protruded for nearly two miles, and we are actually in the middle of the puppet Yuan fleet, because there are fewer puppet yuan ships than us, so their gap is so big.

If you think about it, the pseudo-Yuan ship looks like two fists, and it is attacking the ship formation of the Great Song Dynasty, but the direction of the attack is the direction we have been here before. ”

Lin Xi's heart was touched by the words of the tip, as if something antelope was hanging horns, Lin Xi tried to think about it, but he hadn't grasped the point yet, so he asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"I think our deception tactics may be successful, and of course, there are still a few loach boats to deal with," he said. ”

Lin Xi said: "No, what did you say in the last sentence?" ”

The tip hesitated for a moment: "The last sentence, the words?" ”

Lin Xi said: "That's right."

The top looked at the top of the head, the head shook his head, and the head said embarrassedly: "Last sentence, the ship of the pseudo-yuan is bigger than ours......

Lin Xi said: "No, you just said that they are like two fists or something?" ”

The tip asked hesitantly: "They opened their bows left and right with their fists, and flanked the Great Song army formation?" ”

Lin Xi said: "It's almost, but what are the characteristics, what comes from what......"

"Well, well, yes, like from the direction where we just left, I'm joking......"

Lin Xi looked behind him, and slowly, a "possibility" came to mind, a huge sense of happiness, and impacted Lin Xi: "Desperate to live, possible, desperate to live!" ”

Seeing Lin Xi gritting his teeth, his spirit was abnormal, and he moved his steps suspiciously.

Lin Xi saw the movement of the tip, and he didn't care, he happily looked around again, then climbed down the mast, and asked Huiniang to call Tu Xicai, Song Aoxing, Xiaosi and Song Qing over, and before they could sit down, Lin Xi spoke: "What do you think of the current situation." ”

Song Qing said happily: "Venerable Master, Venerable Master, we have destroyed at least sixty boats, the combination of the Fire Yaksha and the Hundred Miles Burning Heaven is very powerful, within a hundred steps, we can kill a yacht with two Fire Yakshas, within two hundred steps we can kill one with almost three or four Fire Yakshas, we have made a total of 600 pieces, and now we have used more than 200 pieces, if this is still in the Great Song Army, our small craftsmen can make at least three thousand households......

Lin Xi raised his hand to stop Song Qing's excitement: "Okay, I know, there are still three hundred to four hundred Fire Yaksha left, which can attack a hundred small boats, very good." ”

Saying that, he looked at Song Aoxing, Song Aoxing said: "We have almost destroyed two vehicles and ships, and there are six large loach ships that have been confirmed so far, and almost a hundred have been used, of which three miles of fire consumption is more, and more than forty rounds have been used, and then mainly use two miles of fireworks and a hundred miles to burn the sky, and two miles of fireworks Each ship should use an average of five pieces to cover and shade, and then if they continue to get closer, they will use a hundred miles to burn the sky and come with another five, which can basically be completely covered." ”

Lin Xi looked at Tu Xicai again, Tu Xicai was satisfied, and said directly: "The strength of the oarsmen can not last too long, we can continue for about ten miles according to the current speed, we must change people or stop the boat, if we want to accelerate, then it is not easy to say anything, our water is enough, now the chef is transporting people around, the soldiers are in high spirits, now the battle is not very fierce, everyone is already more familiar with the use of rocket vehicles, in addition, whether it is a rocket car or a fire yaksha, the guide rail of the launch frame is very long, and I began to feel very inconvenient." , only now I found out that the accuracy is relatively high, and it is easy to aim. ”

Song Aoxing also said: "That is, our loach boat is a little small, if it is a car ship or a ship, it will be great." ”

Lin Xi originally wanted to say - if it was a car or a ship, who would be a fool and let us wander around here, he would have besieged it at any cost, and was about to speak, when a lazy voice came out of his heart - saying this kind of thing, have you thought about how the other party feels?

Lin Xi himself was choked, so he said: "This is the best, there will be cars, ships, and ships, and there will be them." ”

Song Aoxing felt that he was taken seriously, and was anxious to show his merits, and then said: "Venerable Master, we don't have too many collision fuzes, we have already made a hundred whole ones, and now we have to average two to accurately hit one, and more than forty have been used. ”

Lin Xi said: "That thing is mainly to destroy the enemy's morale in the first place, disrupt their offensive rhythm, and create opportunities for our follow-up launches, saving some use, and the cost is not low." ”

Lin Xi clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Okay, I have a situation to tell you, did you just find that the attacks we faced have decreased?" ”

Xiao Si said: "The flanks are all small boats, after a car and ship in the distance is hit, there will be no vehicles or ships to attack us, I see as if they have a signal, the fleet goes to the east, it seems that we don't care." ”

Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Si and thought to himself, this is a person with a bit of eye, he doesn't talk much, and he is also insightful when he speaks, so he asked, "So what do you think about our breakthrough?" ”

Xiao Si smiled embarrassedly: "Master, what can I think, what's the matter." ”

Lin Xi didn't say much, after all, now is not the time to take the school examination, so he immediately said the current situation: "At the lookout just now, I saw that the pseudo-yuan seemed to have turned us into outcasts, and they are now hurrying to the Song army camp, as if there is something important, it is likely to be the direction of our escape, and now there are three loach boats to attack us, probably to sweep the tail." We have now penetrated half the width of the Yuan army. ”

Tu Xicai raised his eyes in surprise: "Venerable Master, is this true?" ”

Lin Xi said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can say for sure, but there is this situation." ”

Tu Xicai said: "Venerable Master, I have an idea, just now our plan was to work hard, now if both sides see us as dispensable, then we can give it a try, concentrate our firepower to extinguish the three loach boats, and then pretend to lose control and break through their defensive line." ”

Lin Xi said: "Then let's do it, pay attention, get closer, give them a desperate posture that we can't do, and deter others who want to take advantage." ”

About half an hour later, the three loach boats were billowing smoke, and the Xuanyi broke into the middle of the three loach boats and stopped.

Tu Xicai ran over in the thick smoke: "Master, the three loach boats, all lost power, the nearest distance is less than a hundred steps away from us, the brothers have injured more than a dozen of them, fortunately they are not dead, if there is no Erli fireworks, their bed crossbow will cause us a lot of damage." Now what? ”

Lin Xi said: "Let the brothers rest quickly, take shifts, let's hide in the smoke for a while, and order the little craftsman to work, as long as a small boat comes in, kill him for me, and never allow him to run away." ”

Song Qing ran over: "Venerable Master, we still have five shadowless boats, and I will let the brothers launch three boats, each boat with five people, and one oarsman will launch the fire yaksha, and the second oarsman will light the fire, so that there will be two oarsmen who can move, faster than ordinary boats." ”

Lin Xi said: "Very good, I can use my brains, let's go, let the Fire Yaksha group follow on the ship, and if there is a striker, there must be a guard." ”

Song Qing said happily: "Thank you." Then he ran away.

Lin Xi asked Zhen Niang to call Guo Yi over: "Guo Jiaotou, with your experience, how long can we hide in the boat?" ”

Guo Yi glanced at the situation and said to Lin Xi: "Venerable Master, I have a plan, maybe I can solve your problem." ”

Lin Xi almost laughed, thinking about the people of this era...... Forget it, there is a bad mentality again, Lin Xi asked sincerely: "Regardless of the white cat or black cat, the one who can catch the mouse is a good cat, and you can say it, try it if it is reasonable." ”

Guo Yi was overjoyed, got up and bowed, and then said: "Did the Venerable Master see it, these three loach boats may have come specifically to encircle and suppress us, and now the nearest one is only one hundred steps, and the farthest is no more than three hundred steps, if we let these three ships surround our outer circle, for example, only fifty steps, then, from anywhere outside, you may feel that there are three ships that have been destroyed, and before the main battlefield is cleaned, unless there is a special rescue team, they will not pay attention to us." ”

Lin Xi thought about it, this guy is really bold and whimsy.

After a while, still putting down a shadowless boat, several water ghosts with ropes towards the farthest loach boat, only a moment, with a target nail to nail the loach boat, and then the crew on the boat allocated a few more people to slowly pull the boat over.

In less than twenty minutes inside and outside, the three loach ships basically formed an equilateral triangle with the Xuanyi, and the Xuanyi was almost in the center inside.

Then, Lin Xi asked the whole ship to be repaired quickly, it was time to eat, it was time to drink, it was time to come out to breathe, it was time to tidy up, and the energy consumption was amazing after a morning of fighting.

Lin Xi called Song Aoxing and asked, "To what extent did you make a hot air balloon?" ”

Song Aoxing said: "Hot air balloons, there are some problems now, we can't grasp them well, so it is not very smooth. ”

Lin Xi asked him to talk about it specifically, it turned out that Song Aoxing didn't have much confidence in the hot air balloon itself, so they were very lazy in production, Lin Xi's face was very gloomy, and Song Aoxing smiled awkwardly.

Lin Xi's heart suddenly moved, so he asked Huiniang to send Song Aoxing out, and then asked Song Qing to come over.

Lin Xi asked Song Qing: "Commander Song, have you seen the blueprint of the hot air balloon I gave your father?" ”

Song Qing said: "I've seen it, my father still chattered with me, but I didn't want to think about it, saying that I hadn't heard of it, and it was disrespectful to God or something." ”

Lin Xi asked, "Do you think you can do it?" ”

Song Qing furrowed his brows and said hesitantly, "I remember that you have a lot of drawings." ”

Lin Xi said: "There are not a lot of them, mainly balloon balloons, balloon rings, hanging baskets, fierce fire oil heaters, blowers, and hanging basket nets. ”

Song Qing said:

"Actually, my dad gave us the job at that time, but he didn't ask for it, so we didn't do it with our hearts.

Let's talk about the simplicity first, the hanging basket is an ordinary thing, we can find someone to make it up, bamboo or wicker can be, we have bamboo on the boat, there are not many wicker, this is not difficult.

Then the blower, we have the bellows, you said that the circle mouth of this airbag has more than four feet, I think, you can only re-do the bellows, push and pull the bellows to do two, so that there are more people who work, two can be pumped and pulled, let the air go in, in fact, there is a way, that is, directly use wood to make a ring mouth cover, cover the balloon ring mouth, so that the air supply with the bellows is very secure, and then open a round mouth on it, if you want to heat it with fierce oil, put the hot air from this opening.

Also, we have a boiler on the ship, and we can directly use the ring mouth cover to blow the hot gas of the boiler into it, and the bellows are not as good as it. ”

Lin Xi once again felt that the Song Dynasty was open-minded and technologically advanced, a young man in his twenties, who had not yet graduated from college, although there were wonderful and gorgeous, but most of them were still messing around, falling in love, and eating their parents. So Lin Xi blurted out: "Good idea." ”

Song Qing was encouraged, extremely happy, and even more energetic, pointing to the drawings and saying:

"The flamethrower of the fierce fire oil, we originally had a fierce fire oil tank, but it was squeezing out the fierce fire oil, and our airbag couldn't do this, so it would all burn.

We discussed this matter yesterday, and we felt that the size you gave was a little bit, the fire should be big, the strength should be fierce, but the flame should be short, so we felt that we couldn't spray the oil out, we had to use a bellows to heat and spray the fire out. Then there must be a big fire plate, and the coppersmith is not good at it, but the rabbit cub of Liu Bajia is very good at it, and he can do it better than his father. He did make a thing, we tried it, and the fire was quite big, but it was too oil-intensive, and his father scolded him for being a loser and beat him up. ”

Lin Xi heard the "rabbit cub" at first thought it was scolding, but looking at Song Qing's appearance, it didn't look like he was scolding, and then he reacted, this should be a nickname, and then, he heard that a sample had been made, what a talent, just with some rough drawings and purpose requirements, he could draw inferences and create his own things...... Then, just waiting for Song Qing to say the following, the result is gone, what kind of rhythm is this? Beat up, that's the result?

Lin Xi looked at Song Qing, Song Qing also looked at Lin Xi, after two or three breaths, Song Qing couldn't help it a little, and stammered and asked, "That, Venerable Master, I also think it's too much to eat...... It's really quite oil-intensive...... The fire was also quite high, and at that time, it ruffled the hair of three or four people, and there was a burning smell...... Why don't you beat him up? ”
