Li Jingbu is very difficult, this is a situation that everyone knows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I decided that Xue Wancheng and Xue Wancheng each brought two thousand men and horses and gunpowder bombs to the aid of the chief manager!" Niu Jinda seemed to have made a difficult decision, looked at Zhang Yi and Tang Peng and said, "Since the remnants of Tiemuhe have gone north, Shuofang City is safe, at least for the time being!"

We now have a fortified city to defend, and there are thirty-six chain fortresses to defend together, as long as Tang Peng's side can produce a steady stream of gunpowder bullets, Shuofang City can hold on until I and the chief steward return to the city. ”

Obviously, Niu Jinda had already considered the defense of Shuofang City, but Zhang Yi and Tang Peng were too young and had no experience on the battlefield at all, so they were hesitant.

But....

If there is no urgent reinforcement now, Li Jing's army will be in danger of being wiped out, and an army that has no supplies and is alone in the grassland, it will be difficult for them to survive until the increase of the imperial court after the beginning of spring in this season of winter.

After all, Datang no longer has any ability to pull up an armed force of tens of thousands of people at this time.

Zhang Yi nodded, very much in agreement with Niu Jinda's decision, and even he felt that Niu Jinda's decision was very wise.

But when such a major event as defending the city fell on his head, this approval immediately turned into depression.

Tang Peng now needs to supervise the production of gunpowder bombs, and in the principle of secrecy of gunpowder bombs, Tang Peng can definitely only hide in the basement for acceptance, so his official position is the highest among the rest of the people, so it is natural that he needs to take on the responsibility of defending the city.

"With a few more men, we can now make three hundred gunpowder shells a day!" Tang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "But the material is a problem, the consumption of sulfur and saltpeter is too great, and we can't buy or requisition it here!" ”

first reported the maximum output that could be produced every day, so that Niu Jinda had a number in his heart, and then Tang Peng said the trouble he was facing.

After all, he is now in charge of supervising the production of gunpowder bullets, so it is impossible for him to leave the basement, so what he is most worried about now is the material problem of gunpowder bullets. As long as there are materials, he can make a steady stream of gunpowder bullets, and with gunpowder bullets, Shuofang City is like an iron plate, plus a strong city wall, even if Shuofang City is only more than 1,000 people, he is confident that he can defend it.

However, if there is no gunpowder bullet, even if the city is high and the army is strong, it is only an unrealistic hope to hold Shuofang City.

So the current situation is that he needs a lot of raw materials for the production of gunpowder shells.

"How many powder bullets can you make with the materials in your hand?" Niu Jinda's face was expressionless, he thought for a while, and asked lightly: "Also, how many gunpowder shells do we have now!" ”

"Fifteen hundred!" Tang Peng immediately reported a number and said: "When the Tiemu Hebu attacked the city, it issued a thousand pieces, but it was not used up at all, and there are still about four hundred pieces left in the ranks at all levels, and this part of the gunpowder bullets is enough to face the harassment of a small group of Turks in my opinion!" ”

"Not bad! That's pretty much the number. Zhang Yi also nodded, and affirmed: "To be exact, 438 gunpowder bombs are now all sealed in an underground warehouse newly opened up by us, and they will be personally handled by Yue 11." With these more than 400 gunpowder shells, we should be able to ensure that Shuofang City is not lost! ”

Today's logistics and material allocation keyi8 is completely in his hands, especially the management of gunpowder ammunition is his top priority.

After all, gunpowder bullets are different from knives and arrows, and even if they are not ignited, they will explode directly if there is a slightly violent collision. The defenders of Shuofang obviously did not have time to train them on how to keep and use gunpowder shells correctly, so since the defense of the city was successful and the remnants of Temuhe left the north, Zhang Yi ordered the gunpowder bullets to be taken back to the warehouse.

On the one hand, it is to keep the secret recipe of gunpowder bombs strictly secret, so as to prevent them from being secretly developed by people with intentions, after all, today's gunpowder bullets have almost no secrets at all except for the gunpowder formula, not only the structure is simple, and even the shell is only a clay pot fired in a suburban earthen kiln.

On the other hand, it is also for safety reasons, in case the curious guy in the barracks makes a mistake on his hand, or falls carelessly, it will be a lot of fun. When the enemy does not blow up, but his own people bloom, it will be a tragedy.

"I estimate that I can make about a thousand pieces of material there!" Tang Peng said: "It is estimated that it can still be done for three to four days, if the general waits for four days, we can give you a total of 2,500 gunpowder bullets!" ”

"No, we have to go now!" Niu Jinda waved his hand, now he didn't have time to wait for Tang Peng to make the remaining gunpowder bullets, and said, "The chief manager can't wait anymore." It is estimated that the Minefield Department has already made contact with him, and the remnants of Tiemuhe have been gone for three days, and if nothing else, it has formed a situation of attacking from both sides.

I only hope that the two of them have some scruples and don't start the battle immediately, in that case, as long as they hold out for two days, our reinforcements will arrive! ”

Niu Jinda didn't hesitate anymore, when he got up and looked at Xue Wancheng: "Xue Wancheng!" ”

"The last general!" Xue Wanqian immediately stepped forward with his fists clenched.

"I order you to immediately gather 2,000 people, receive 500 gunpowder shells, and bring some grain and grass to immediately bypass the remnants of Tiemuhe from the left side to reinforce the general manager!"

"The last general commands!" Xue Wanqian did not hesitate, and immediately went out of the account after receiving the order.

Niu Jinda looked at Zhang Yi again after speaking, and said: "Zhang Yi, I order you to take over the defense of Shuofang City immediately after I and Xue Wanqian leave, people are in the city, and the city is lost..."

Niu Jinda didn't continue, but Zhang Yi also understood that he wouldn't have a chance to see him if he lost the city.

At that moment, he also stepped out, saluted to Niu Jinda, and then stood aside.

"Tang Peng!" Niu Jinda finally looked at Tang Peng again.

"The last general!"

"When the materials in your hands are used up, the gunpowder bombs made will be handed over to Zhang Yi immediately, and a cadre of craftsmen and others will need to be independent and not talk to others, and once they are found, they will be killed on the spot!" Niu Jinda's face was gloomy, and he continued: "There is one more thing, that is, you need to go to Xiangcheng in person. Since Su Dingfangteng did not send reinforcements, you went to him and asked him to help gather enough materials for gunpowder bombs, and also need some grain. This slippery kid must still have a lot of stock there! ”

"The last general commands! ~”

......

For a while, the horn sounded loudly, and the drum of the gathering general also sounded.

Two armies of 2,000 people went into battle lightly, guarding a small amount of grain, and slowly left Shuofang City!
