Han Zizheng was protected by the six Han soldiers of the Yuan army, and he hugged him before and after, Shi Shiran, and left.

When Zhang Quan saw it, he couldn't help but whisper to Zhang Shijie: "Dad, just let it go?!" ”

Zhang Shijie smiled, watched Han Zizheng and his party go out of the gate, turned around and said, "What, I can't help it?" ”

Zhang Quan said: "Dad, I, I don't understand. ”

Zhang Shijie continued to be inexplicable: "Even I clapped my hands just now and said-I know, I don't understand." ”

Zhang Quan said: "Yes......"

Zhang Shijie said: "You sort out your defense, quickly change your defense, I'll go and say goodbye." ”

Zhang Quan said: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

......

Hongguanya, on the Xuanyi:

Lin Xi said: "Okay, Xiuniang, Queen Mother, time is pressing, today's lesson is here, you'd better write down your experience."

Now, let's take a look at our messengers, so that we have the courage to be brave and diligent, and also have the ability to create wisdom, so that we can create a world of great harmony. ”

Lin Xi walked into the night, Guo Yijiao, the general Song Aoxing, the general supervisor, and Niu Chuanhuo, the messenger soldier, came together, and when they saw Lin Xi, Guo Yijiao's head first saluted: "Venerable Master, the situation has changed somewhat, and I am here to report." ”

Lin Xi said: "Go into the cabin and say." ”

Entering the cabin, Guo Jiaotou continued: "Master, it is not difficult for us to modify the signal transmission fire bomb in the form of a trumpet, but the height is almost fixed, and we have a new idea, let the cow pass the fire." ”

Lin Xi looked at Niu Chuanhuo, who had already brought the signal transmission fire bomb fired by the trumpet gun, which was basically an enlarged version of the second kick, about three inches thick: "Master, the general trumpet cannon is mainly to fill gunpowder and listen to the sound; The trumpet you said, we speculated, about this thing, you see. ”

Niu Chuan torch enlarged version of the second kick to Lin Xi, and then said:

"This kind of messenger fire bomb, placed on flat ground, ignited a fire twist, will rise into the air, up to a height of about fifty or sixty steps, and then explode, releasing fireworks;

But this kind of thing is generally done well, and it is made on the spot, and the reliability is very poor;

If you put it into the cannon, the cannon is generally not placed in the sky, there is an angle, use the mortar cannon to put it, according to your circumference 360 scale, it is the highest 60 scale, put it in, because the gunpowder is stuffed in it, maybe it will be slightly higher, but with the inclination angle, how high it can be hit, it is difficult to say.

Therefore, if we think about it again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal of achieving the clear view of the Guan Chong Chong Pass and the Guan Chong Cliff you said.

In order to achieve this goal, we have another method, which is to modify the fire yaksha, remove the fierce fire oil part, mix the explosives in the explosive part, and reload it with the color powder. In this way, part of the weight and space of the explosive fire oil can also be added with some propellant, and the propellant can be changed from one foot five inches long to two feet five inches.

In a hurry, there may be some problems with their uniformity, but if they rise, it may reach more than two hundred and fifty steps, or even more, because there is no time to verify, so it is not certain.

Also, this launch is also easier to handle, the launcher can be close to vertical upwards, such as 80 or 85 scales, as long as the 100-step sky-burning bazooka can stand.

We've made nine of them now, that is, three green fireworks, three red fireworks, and three white fireworks.

We have not completed the transmission of the cannon according to your wishes, and I ask the Master to punish him. ”

Lin Xi laughed when he heard this: "Niu Chuanhuo, Guo Jiaotou, your guilt is false, and your performance is true." ”

Niu Chuanhuo smiled, and Guo Yijiao, the head of the sect, said: "The military order is like a mountain, since the Venerable Master has orders, we must overcome all difficulties to complete it." We can't disturb the Venerable Master when you talk to the Queen Mother, but it is indeed difficult to achieve the core goal in the way you are talking, so during the preparation period, we will first find a solution and then ask for instructions, so that the core goal will not be lost. Now there are two solutions, the Messenger Fire Bomb and the Messenger Bazooka, at least we have a solution, and this is how I understand the Master's command. ”

Lin Xi patted Guo Yijiao's shoulder: "You are doing a good job, I am not omnipotent, you have a lot of things in this world, I don't understand, you can remind me and explain to me at any time, and I will say the same to everyone in the future, in addition, thank you, I will pay more attention in the future." In any case, we can't let guesswork in the way of our communication and actual work. ”

Lin Xi picked up the Baibu Burning Sky Transmission Rocket, saw that only one bamboo knot root was retained at the top, and then made a simple small round shape with a little clay to improve the aerodynamic characteristics, and suddenly a question arose: "Will the top explode?" ”

Niu Chuanhuo said: "It should be, we make messenger fire bombs, and the paper shells we use are about the same thick." ”

Lin Xi said: "Is bamboo much stronger than paper shells? Will it not explode, it will not be able to release the message, or the message will not be obvious. ”

Song Aoxing, who will be the supervisor, said: "Venerable Master, I will answer this question, the top of the 100-step burning sky transmission rocket we made this time is the color of gunpowder, therefore, the clay on the top is the real mud seal, the top of the bamboo and the back two sections of the bamboo, between a gunpowder twist hole, so, once the fire twist is passed, it will blow up the mud seal, the color gunpowder will be sprayed forward, so whether the bamboo will be blown apart or not, the impact is not very great. ”

Lin Xi imagined it for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "In this way, the firelight can still shoot upwards?" ”

Niu Chuanhuo said, "Venerable Master, I will mix the glowing particles with some gunpowder and wine and rub them into soybean-sized particles, so that they will not only spew out, but will also glow and burn for a while, just like fireworks, and they will definitely meet your requirements, especially since it is nighttime." ”

Lin Xi said, "It's good, it's great...... When can I cast it? ”

Guo Yijiaotou said: "If you agree, we can put it in one word (note: 5 minutes), but there are only nine at present, and if you want to finish making 27 and then put it, I'm afraid it will delay things." ”

Lin Xi said: "Our core goal is to send a message to Taifu and them, and if we take 10,000 steps back, even if Taifu and the soldiers know that they are safe, they can put down their worries in their hearts, and they can also block the puppet army for us." You're right, put it on first, see if it works, and continue to revise it. ”

Song Aoxing, the general supervisor, said: "Well, the Venerable Master, if we do not have new supplies, we can only process the remaining materials, and if we finish twenty-seven, we will have to spend at least twenty-seven Yakshas, and the Yaksha is currently our main land defense force. ”

Guo Yijiaotou continued: "Even if our ship is a very high-end configuration warship, there are ten groups of Hundred Birds Chaofeng, and a group of Hundred Birds Chaofeng has a hundred small rockets, which can be launched at least one hundred and fifty steps away, but the attack power is actually very poor, and it can only be used for surface killing, which is acceptable to deal with cavalry group charges and infantry group charges." Generally, we need to be equipped with sword and shield soldiers or spearmen, but we have almost no sword and shield soldiers or spearmen, let alone cavalry, we only have firearms, and the defense force is really worrying. ”

Lin Xi said: "I know, what you said is done like this, Tang Hanlin come here, you write it down-

The first pile, first give me a group of nine consecutive rings to rise, slightly towards the direction of Guan Chong Chongkou;

The second pile, if this group of nine consecutive rings has a good effect, immediately catch up with the remaining eight groups, drive out one group, and put one group on it.

The third pile, let Qingxu Zhenren leave the intelligence infiltration alone, quickly contact Tu Xicai, and work with Zhenniang and the Queen Mother to find supplies, find a place for supplies, defend on the spot, find some vehicles, transport iron plates and copper plates, and make armored vehicles, which is the upgraded version of the partial van you said. Move one of the boiling sea cauldrons, move the hot air balloon too, and take it off to fight when necessary.

Fourth, send a few clever scouts to move in the direction of the camp to reconnoiter and ensure their own safety, if there are Song Army scouts who infiltrate and pass on the news, immediately bring them to the ship, ask or interrogate them first, and those who come will not be able to go back for the time being.

Fifth, let's see if there is a way for Jiangchen County to contact the surrounding Song people and pass some labor:

Men and women were allowed to give some money to help build the camp;

About ten steps before the camp, dig a trap, put a drawbridge, and put more thistles in front of the pit.

In addition, buy more grains, vegetables, fruits, pulps, and charcoal, so that our fireheads can watch, make more combat dry food, and dry bacon.

The sixth pile, the lookout platform, you still have to continue to build, don't be sloppy, find more people to help.

Use the pulleys you have used up and down, let the blacksmith open the furnace, and make it immediately, the rollers are larger, one foot is fine, and the outer roller circle can be two feet to two and a half feet, this kind of thing can be hung on it, and you can pull the rope from the ground to lift the materials up and speed up the construction.

Seventh, the Queen Mother has two boats coming, a loach boat and a small fishing boat, you take someone to take over these two boats, immediately carry out patrol operations, arrest smuggling, capture the enemy ships of the Yuan army, the distance between the two ships is not allowed to exceed one mile, send the fire yaksha team to the full, the loach boat raises my flag, goes up to a group of launchers, and leaves five rounds and three miles of fire.

The captured Yuan army was immediately brought back, brought the brass horn with him, and told them to lay down their arms and surrender at once, and as soon as we found any signs of attack, you were ordered by the people of Lin to burn the whole ship immediately, leaving nothing alive.

All other ships were to be disarmed first, detained and returned to port, requisitioned in advance, and materials recorded.

All personnel are not allowed to leave the port for a mile, otherwise they will be wiped out immediately.

Pile 8: I want to make a few important things, such as thousands of miles of sound, such as barbed wire, such as telescopes, such as armored vehicles, such as steam cannons,

Let me be the prisoners and the young generals, and send me a group of men, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, joiners, firemen, and painters, all of whom are good hands.

Now the Enemy Intelligence Committee will discuss for yourselves what to do, and if there is any difficulty in deciding, come and report to me at any time.

Also, any hostility and prisoners should be reported immediately without delay.

Tang Hanlin, these orders can only be in the hostile intelligence committee, and must not be disseminated. Each individual assigned a herald to follow. ”

Tang Hanlin walked the pen and snake, finished writing in an instant, blew the rice paper, and read the information again, Lin Xi didn't know cursive, but many people in the enemy intelligence committee could understand it directly, Lin Xi said, so be it.

Tang Hanlin pasted the rice paper on the bulkhead, spread out another piece of paper, and copied it with Song Huizong's thin gold characters, this time, Lin Xi could understand it, and suddenly Lin Xi realized that this was a traditional Chinese character, fortunately, although Lin Xi rarely wrote traditional characters, but there was no problem with reading, seeing Tang Hanlin's copying, he also understood Tang Hanlin's fineness and ability, and couldn't help nodding in approval: "Tang Hanlin is really thoughtful and well-documented, you first put these records, pass on orders, file and sort out, and catch up with all kinds of things in the personnel screening table, It will be used for you in the future. ”

Tang Hanlin's humble and gentlemanly demeanor, he flicked his sleeves and clasped his hands: "Thank you for mentioning something." ”

After doing these things, Lin Xi said to the Queen Mother: "Xiuniang, if you have a good memory, I suggest that you have time to be on the side of Tang Hanlin in the future, and we need many, many people to do things, and now everyone has to do more things." ”

Xiuniang said, "It's all up to the Venerable Master's orders. ”

Lin Xi smiled and said: "There is indeed some chaos at present, and you can also find things that you are good at and like to do in the future." ”

......

Niu Chuanhuo took the young general as nine team members, erected the launch frame of the fire yaksha on the foredeck, the two-zhang long launch frame is about more than 80 scales, towards the Yashan Zhongjun, or the position of the Guan Chong mouth, Niu Chuanhuo has completed the overall arrangement, and asked Guo Yijiaotou to check it, and then Niu Chuanhuo said to Guo Yijiaotou: "Guo Jiaotou, then, if there is no problem, you can ask the Shangren for instructions to launch." ”

Guo Yijiao patted the cow and passed the fire: "Pass the fire, you, go directly to the Shangren for instructions, this is what you deserve." ”

Niu Chuanhuo wanted to salute Guo Jiaotou, but Guo Yi stopped him: "Chuan Huo, we are all working for the Venerable Master, for the Holy Chinese State, and we are loyal, you and I are ministers in the same hall, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Niu Chuanhuo snorted, wiped his eyes that were a little moist, ran to Lin Xi and said, "Report to the Venerable Master, three green fireworks in the nine chains, three red fireworks, three white fireworks, and a hundred steps to burn the sky messenger rocket, have been prepared, request to launch." ”

Lin Xi said: "After one is finished, then put down the other, so that they have time to watch." ”

Niu Chuanhuo replied: "Order." ”

Running back to the launch position, Niu Chuanhuo said loudly to the fire yaksha team made by the young general: "I have been ordered, now cast the 100-step Burning Sky Messenger Rocket, one is finished, and then another one is released, and now I announce the order of casting-

The first one, the green fireworks 100-step burning sky messenger rocket, ignition ......"

......

Guan Chongya, Zhang Shijie's temporary camp, Zhang Shijie walked out of the thatched house tiredly and returned to the tent, Zhang Quan asked: "Daddy, you have a good relationship with the child." ”

Zhang Shijie said tiredly: "You ask people first, go get some hot water and soak my feet, everyone is about to get rancid." ”

Zhang Quan responded and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

Fortunately, Zhang Shijie also has a boiled Poseidon kettle here, in fact, if there is no such thing on the mountain, there is no water to drink now, Zhang Quan arranged for his soldiers to make a bucket of hot water and a bucket of warm water, and carried the water into the tent, but saw Zhang Shijie lying crookedly on the seat.

Zhang Quan looked at his father and felt very distressed, so he asked his soldiers to quietly support his father, and approved a big piece for his father, and then tried the water temperature, and felt that it was just right, so he loosened his father's trousers, gently lifted one foot, slowly put it into the warm water, and then gently massaged it for a while, and then lifted the other foot, and slowly put it into the warm water, and massaged gently.

Zhang Shijie let out a slight snoring.

Zhang Quan's tears fell into the foot soaking bucket drippingly.

After soaking for a while, Zhang Quan carefully mixed the water in the hot water bucket into it slowly and slowly along the wall of the bucket to maintain the water temperature.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the tent: "There are messenger rockets, I have never seen such a big messenger rocket, the green one." I don't know which unit it is. ”

Zhang Quan ran outside the tent: "What are you yelling about?" ”

Outside the tent, a lookout said: "Young boy, Taifu is a strict request, important news must be reported immediately." ”

Zhang Quan said: "Forget it, Taifu is too tired, let him rest for a while." ”

The lookout soldier said: "I don't dare not listen to the words of the young man, but the master ......."

Zhang Quan said: "What's the matter, I'll take care of it, let Taifu rest for a while, and the pseudo-yuan side doesn't know what to do next?" ”

At this time, another messenger shouted: "Three greens, this may be nine rings, there must be something big." ”

The lookout soldier also saw it, and immediately said to Zhang Quan: "Young Master Zhang, if it is a nine-ring, please be sure to tell Taifu immediately, the key is that we have never seen such a tall and large messenger rocket......

Zhang Quan said: "Taifu has been tired for so long, so he took a break for a while, listen to me, don't shout!" ”

The lookout soldier snorted, thought about it and thought about it, and said: "Young Master Zhang, then, if Taifu blames it......"

Zhang Quan said: "I will take care of everything, you should be quiet." ”

Of course, the pro-soldiers all listened to Zhang Quan, although Zhang Quan was not an official general or attaché, but when he appeared, he also represented Taifu's relatives.

Zhang Quan turned around and returned to the tent, and just raised the curtain, only to hear a commotion on the ground outside, and only to hear a red ......

Zhang Quan shook his head, put down the curtain, and continued to rub Zhang Shijie's legs.

But it seems that the more Zhang Quan wants to be quiet, the less quiet it is outside, and after a while, it will be said that the second is red, the second is red, and the second one is the six rings......

Zhang Quan's anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed, Zhang Shijie's snoring was interrupted for a while, and then it rose again, and Zhang Quan's hanging heart was put down.

But as soon as he put it down, the noise outside suddenly increased by several points, and there was a shouting of boos.

Zhang Quan pulled his hand out of the bucket, slowly walked out of the tent, closed the curtain of the tent, turned around with a blue face, and lowered his voice viciously: "My words don't work, right!! ”

The lookout turned around and said innocently, "Young boy, we didn't speak. ”

Zhang Quan said: "You didn't speak, why are you so loud?" ”

The lookout said, "It's outside, tens of thousands of people are shouting." ”

Suddenly, there was another messenger rocket, rowing a beautiful white light tail, gently and skillfully rising from the sea level, rising, reaching a height of at least three hundred steps, even on the Guanchong Cliff, you can see hundreds of steps higher, and then, the light tail went out, and then more than twenty steps later in the sky, like a huge trumpet flower, the bright red trumpet flower bloomed in the night sky, the mouth of the trumpet flower is getting bigger and bigger, it should be far away, but it can still be seen clearly, at this time, No sound can suppress a cacophony of voices: six rings, six rings......

The lookout spread his hands innocently: "Young boy, there must be something important, but I didn't shout...... Well, we don't have this six-link or nine-link secret language...... I personally remind the young man that this kind of thing should be told to the Taifu. ”

Zhang Quan said hatefully: "It's all some...... Rare and weird......"

Zhang Quan felt that his luck was terrible, in fact, if it was in normal times, of course it didn't matter if he reported it, but now he was doing his filial piety to his father, but he encountered this kind of thing: "No, I said no, just no." ”

Turning around, before he could take a step, another white trumpet flower erupted, and there was a roar all around: seven rings, seven rings, it must be nine rings, the three colors are green, red, and white......

Zhang Quan reflexively continued to walk towards the tent, walked into the tent, tucked the curtain well, walked back to his father, and before he squatted down, he heard again: Eight Links, Eight Links......

Zhang Shijie vaguely opened his eyes: "Zhang Quan, what sound?" ”

Zhang Quan said: "Dad, you rest for a while, soak your feet more, and leave them alone." ”

Zhang Shijie listened for a while, and tried to open his eyes: "What chain?" ”

Zhang Quan said: "Some people set off fireworks, I told them to be quiet. What a mess. ”

Zhang Shijie's eyes were red, and he tried to open them, and for a moment, as if he remembered something, he stood up and rushed out of the tent.

Zhang Quan shouted: "Dad, don't get cold, I just soaked my feet." Seeing that his father even threw the big horn on the ground, he hurriedly picked up the big hat and chased it out of the tent, only to find that Zhang Shijie was standing next to the lookout, and a white light trumpet flower was just hidden.

A voice was coming from all around: Nine Rings, Nine Rings, really Nine Rings, green, red, white.......

Zhang Shijie asked the lookout: "Where is the exact direction?" ”

The lookout said, "That, the young man didn't let me say it just now." ”

Zhang Shijie said: "Now let's talk about it. ”

The lookout said, "It should be roughly south."

Zhang Shijie asked: "More accurate?" ”

The lookout took half a step back in fear: "The young boy has never let us speak, let us report, and not let us, so he has never looked at it carefully...... Fine directions, really, I don't know ....."

Zhang Shijie roared out: "Didn't I say that you must pay attention to the transmission of messages, and report to me immediately if you find something?" Zhang Shijie shook the lookout.

The lookout stammered and said, "Young boy, it's the young boy who said that it is rare and strange, and he won't let us say it, and we haven't received the order of this secret word, so I don't know who sent the message...... It was the young man who said that he would take care of everything and wouldn't let us. ”

Zhang Quan ran over, and Zhang Shijie grabbed Zhang Quan: "What he said is true?" ”

Zhang Quan was frightened: "Yes, yes, it's the children who don't let them disturb their father......"

Zhang Shijie snorted, then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then pointed at Zhang Quan: "You, you, the erector is not enough and conspiracy!" It hurts me! ”

Then another mouthful of blood spurted out, and the man fell to the ground.
