"Wu Ri Daning didn't tell the truth when he died, it must be that the fire has not yet arrived, he can wait for another three days before returning to Yuan Dadu, why should the prince be anxious for him, just wait patiently." Wei October didn't have a good way, but Wu Rida's performance had already made him suspicious, what was the illegitimate daughter of an emperor doing when she went deep into the rear of the enemy country?

"It's okay, just wait for a few days, there are too many trivial matters recently, and the business business has been delayed. Mr. Wei will explain this matter to you, just adapt to keep this line of Yuanren, you can use the human and financial resources as you like, I will go to the inner mansion to accompany the old lady to recuperate for a few days. ”

"The ...... of Meng's Fishing Village"

Jiang Gongzi raised his eyebrows, looked out of the window with sharp eyes, and said, "They think that giving Chen Guang a credit can keep them safe for the rest of their lives?" It's really a joke, even Master Pu didn't let me suffer this loss, and then I arranged it freely, and Black Tiger Banner didn't make a big case for a long time, so I don't believe that his surname is Xiao!

There is another thing, Han Liu's set of defeats explained throughout, but there is nothing abnormal in the whole army, Mr. must inquire about the specific details, and it is best to find someone who witnessed the scene and bring it over for questioning. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, everything is on me!" Wei Yue sent Jiang Gongzi back to the mansion, and left in a hurry with a few of his men without stopping.

Zhao Tianyou sat on the embankment of the pier, soaking in the sea with his bare feet, teasing some small whitebait fish around his feet back and forth, and having fun. Mencius was strictly opposed to moving out, and some people in the fishing village privately discussed the matter, forming two opposing opinions, and the older people were reluctant to leave, and some young soldiers who were familiar with Zhao Tianyou supported moving out.

The two small leaders, Meng Qiang and Meng Hao, realized very well in the last battle, and the soldiers under them also obeyed the order. Zhao Tianyou reorganized the entire team and divided it into two brigades, which were led by Meng Qiang and Meng Hao respectively, and the longbowmen and throwers were unified under Meng Shuirou.

More than 200 soldiers are now loyal fans of Zhao Tianyou, as long as what Zhao Jiaotou said must be reasonable and right, they are all fully supported. Under such circumstances, Zhao Tianyou decided to give it a go and prepared to occupy Dongshan Island first, as for the pirates of Xishan Island and the main island, it would be said later.

The most important weapon to kill the enemy, the thunder, is stepping up production, Zhou Yuan and Liu Jinli's men have increased their manpower, and there is sufficient financial support, and the output and quality have been greatly improved. In order to cope with the possible water battle with pirates, the use of gunpowder arrows for archers has been experimented, and in the case of long distances, throwing thunderbolts by hand is not effective, if you can increase the ignition effect on the bow and arrows, it can form a fatal blow to the enemy's sails.

In the era when there were no machinery, the power of the ship was only two things, manpower and wind power, especially when leaving the sail on the sea, it was like a horse with a broken leg, and it could not escape after being beaten. In the previous military battles of the Song Dynasty, gunpowder arrows were also an important member, mainly used in siege battles to ignite the houses and trees in the city.

However, due to the factor of gunpowder formula, the efficiency of this gunpowder arrow is very low, so a large number of shots are needed at the target to cover up the lack of gunpowder performance. In the battle of the Liao State of the Jin State, gunpowder arrows were used in large quantities and achieved great results, but against the Mongol cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, the effect was much worse.

"God bless Big Brother, God bless Big Brother!" Meng Shuirou rode a tall horse and rushed over from the fishing village, shouting loudly from afar.

"The sample is loaded, Brother Godbless, Master Liu, they invite you to try the arrow!"

"It's fast, let's go quickly!" Zhao Tianyou answered, got up and put on his shoes and was about to go to the village.

Meng Shuirou puffed up her breath and said with a red face: "Brother Tianyou, come on the horse, it's faster!" After finishing speaking, Meng Shuirou's face turned red, her heart was pounding, she leaned forward, gave up a position, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Tianyou.

"Well, I haven't ridden a horse in a long time." Zhao Tianyou flew on the horse, held Meng Shuirou's thin waist with both hands, and gently buckled it.

"Drive!" Meng Shuirou swallowed the stirrups on both legs, shook the reins and ran out.

The villagers, young and old, who passed by on the road, all stopped to watch, and there was a burst of laughter from the training of the villagers, and Meng Shuirou's face was on fire when he heard it, and his head was about to be lowered to the back of the horse.

"Sister Shui Rou! You're so good at riding a horse, you don't have to look at the road to get there! ”

In the blink of an eye, like a gallop of lightning, Meng Shuirou hit his horse to the training ground, where a team of archers was waiting. Zhou Yuan and other people in the gunpowder workshop carried a bundle of arrows with gunpowder installed, and put them on the wooden table one by one, and the arrow target fifty paces away had been replaced by a canvas-wrapped plank.

Zhao Tianyou jumped off the horse lightly, Meng Shuirou pulled the horse and left, and everyone stared at it curiously.

"Sister Shui Rou's face looks like a boiled shrimp, why is it so red!"

"I'm tired of riding, the horse can be bumped on the back, and I will be thrown off when I go up, but I can't try again."

"What are you looking at, didn't you see that Zhao Jiaotou also came on a horse!"

"Huh! It seems to be yelling, is it ......?"

Zhao Tianyou coughed vigorously twice, suppressed the sound of gossiping and gossiping, walked to the table and picked up a gunpowder arrow. Taking advantage of the hollow bamboo, a bamboo tube was fixed three inches below the arrowhead, which was filled with gunpowder.

"Lao Zhou, the color of the bamboo is wrong, it's not dry?"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Hui Yushi, Zhao Jiaotou, this bamboo pipe is soaked in clear oil, once the gunpowder is ignited, it can immediately burn the open flame, you shoot it once to try the effect!" ”

Zhao Tianyou nodded and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder.

After lighting the fuse, Zhao Tianyou pulled his bow and released the arrow in the center of the target, and the arrow shot into the canvas and stayed for a moment, and then there was a fire with a "boom". A puff of white smoke came out of the burning of the gunpowder, followed by an open flame from the soaked bamboo, and a puff of fire began to burn.

As the bamboo pipe burned, a black hole burned in the thick sails, but not all of them ignited. Zhao Tianyou then fired two arrows in a row, all of which successfully burned with open flames, and finally ignited the sails on the entire arrow target, and the raging flames rose into the air, and the onlookers cheered.

"Zhou Yuan, I didn't participate in the design of this gunpowder arrow, and I didn't teach you any skills, but what you did = very good, I want to credit you for a great achievement!"

Zhou Yuan bowed his head and said, "Master, don't praise me, it's just that since I met you, I have learned more than I have in the previous thirty years, and I have only done some small things." ”

"Zhou Yuan, I believe in you, I think you will become the first craftsman of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will make even more powerful killing weapons! It can even affect the imperial court and the fate of the entire Great Song Dynasty. ”
