Mao's arsenal was built not far from the saltpeter mine. We arrived in the carriage in the evening. The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on this ground, and it is beautiful, beautiful.

I love the sunset, the light sunlight is not dazzling. Gentle and warm. You will feel that the whole world is beautiful.

The old fox and I got out of the carriage, but the king did not come out to pick us up.

The factory was as shabby as we imagined, thatched wooden houses. I'm really afraid of Ah Mao, who is not afraid of death. He stored all kinds of saltpeter, sulfur, wood chips made of earth explosives, and all kinds of black powder here.

These sparks can ignite the thatched hut once it catches fire. It will become a fireworks mecca.

When we went in, we found that Ah Mao didn't come out to greet us because the thing was doing experiments.

Mao is still working on his firecracker, which is theoretically simple to make. There are no bullets, only black powder and sand, similar to modern shotguns. The black powder is guided in with a stick, and then the sand is placed to guide it and ignite the fuse.

Actually, you don't have to aim, because the sand is scattered. It's more powerful at close range, and you can't dodge it at all. You'll be covered in sand that, if close enough, can blow your entire skull with a single shot.

"Mao!" The old fox barked.

Ah Mao turned around excitedly: "You are here!" Let's see if I get a gun, how about it? ”

Ah Mao showed off, this product is worth showing off. The fire gun in his hand looked like that.

I nodded, "No, Mao." Can the progress be faster? ”

Ah Mao threw away the firecracker, he clapped his hands, and patted away the smoke and dust in his hands: "It's difficult, everything is missing." There is nothing, and it is not easy to make these firecrackers. If I were given more than two years, I would be able to build a machine gun. ”

The old fox nodded rarely: "I believe this, but I don't have that much time for you." Ah Mao, after all, the power of the fire gun is limited. The artillery is not suitable for mobile combat. And the number of these firearms you have made is far from enough, if there are five thousand. No, two thousand firecrackers. We will be able to take Soochow with the fewest casualties of our own. ”

"I know." Mao continued, "But we can't make that much anyway. There is a lot of monkey steel, which can be used to make firecrackers, and our technology is not yet mature. Mass production is not available. ”

"That's why we came to you to talk to you." The old fox slapped Ah Mao.

The old fox continued: "We must work on lighter and more practical weapons."

Ah Mao was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what the old fox meant: "This fire gun is already the limit I can think of in this era,"

The old fox smiled, and the smile was ambiguous and mysterious.

"Your uncle, what are you laughing at." I said it in a shameless way.

The old fox didn't get angry because of this, but pouted: "You don't know how to study some grenades or something?"

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Ah Mao instantly understood: "Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of it." The structure of the grenade is not complicated, as long as the gunpowder properties are changed. The structure is very simple, there are only two parts of the projectile body and the fuze, and the projectile body can be made of cast iron or thin steel sheet, iron sheet or plastic, and the cost is low. Much simpler than the structure of guns and bullets. ”

The old fox pointed at Ah Mao: "Look at your weapon research base, all of it has been changed by Lao Tzu." It's all thatched huts, and it's dangerous. One Mars will allow you to fly into the sky. ”

Our plan to leave the river was forced to be postponed indefinitely. In the past two months, Sun Quan didn't know why he got into trouble with Cao Cao, and the two sides had another big fight.

As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you can't die, and Sun Quan's troops have never dared to provoke us since they were bombarded by us. Later, the spies came to report that it was rumored in Sun Quan's army that we would do witchcraft.

But there are also naturally bold people, Sun Quan didn't dare to come. Cao Cao's soldiers came to attack once, but they were still routed and fled by our front-line soldiers with artillery. Where have they ever seen such a powerful weapon, and since then, no one in our Han army has dared to provoke it.

Half a year later, Xianxian and I finally led 5,000 men and horses out of Sichuan. Deadly, each of us had a musket in our hands, shields on our backs, and a few grenades of all kinds hanging from our waists.

This weird dress is nondescript. In this era of the Three Kingdoms, which eats tea. We took modern weapons against the armies of the ancients.

We are full of confidence, and the important thing is that I and Xianxian are full of confidence. If you can't win with such equipment, what are you still alive for.

The 5,000 Hot Weapon Soldiers have all been trained countless times by me and Slender Fiber. It was followed by two thousand army gunners, our artillery.

The old fox pressed these cannons on the wheel, and we had a big moving one, two hundred cannons in red.

Guiyang, we are at the junction with Soochow. I am the generalissimo of this expedition, and Xian Xian is the deputy marshal. For the first time in the history of the husband and wife group. Well, Xian Xian and I are not husband and wife, we are not married.

Zhao Yun, my most important general. He is a pioneer, no matter what time it is, Zhao Yun's big sword is on his body, except at this moment.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was riding a big horse, without his battle knife. Instead, there were firecrackers on their backs and rows of grenades around their waists.

I want to laugh, I feel like it's too spoofed. Zhao Yun was actually dressed up like this by us.

Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, although we have high-tech weapons. But we must not take it lightly, the old fox said, never underestimate the ancients, our ancestors were much smarter than we think.

I believe in the words of the old fox, our 5,000-year-old civilization has created countless splendor and splendor, which are all created by their wisdom.

Gan Ning, the general of Guiyang Dongwu, gathered to defend us, and we came to the city.

Our soldiers stood under the city with earthen loudspeakers and shouted: "Soldiers of Soochow, open the city gate and surrender quickly." We will not die around you, otherwise our thunder will fall from the sky in a while, and you will be wiped out! ”

Soochow called our cannon the Heavenly Thunder. Because this thing came and went without a trace. It's like a giant thunder falling from the sky, but the power is greater than the giant thunder, and the soldiers of Soochow are terrified.

However, this General Gan Ning was extremely tough: "Put your mother's stinky shit!" Lao Tzu will never surrender! ”

Gan Ning is not afraid, because he has not seen our power yet.

Rows of infantry with musket grenades in front. A few hundred meters behind is our red-coated cannon. Eight people with one cannon.

Behind the artillery was a platoon of infantry, and the task of this infantry was to act as a reserve. The second is to protect our artillery from a sneak attack by the enemy.
