A modern man travels through the Tang Dynasty, which invention is the fastest and simplest?

Glass? Toilet water? Or steel?

No, none of these are true.

For example, Guo Ye had no clue about making glass, and finally had to rely on Deng Yangren. What about toilet water? If there is no Wu Meiniang, then all the efforts will be wasted. Great steelmaking, okay...... He didn't know anything, and the little knowledge of steelmaking had been returned to the teacher.

In fact, the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was gunpowder. Even if he hadn't encountered the Wind Thunder Hall, he could have invented gunpowder himself.

Isn't it one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal? One pound of nitrate, two taels of sulfur, three taels of charcoal, these three things were mixed, and the most primitive gunpowder was born. Of course, due to the purity of the material, it is not possible to copy this ratio exactly.

But in general, it must not be far from this ratio, and it will come out after a few more attempts.

The invention of gunpowder is not counted, it is even further, it is granular gunpowder. The original invention of granular gunpowder was an accident - soldiers accidentally discovered that the soaked gunpowder was much better than the original gunpowder when dried.

Therefore, as long as the steps are slightly refined, the power of the original gunpowder can be greatly increased.

Now that Miji has mastered the method of making thunderbolts, and then made the granular gunpowder, he thinks that the sharp weapon used to storm the city in Goguryeo will reappear in the country of Fuyu.

Of course, due to the urgency of time, thunderbolts filled with granulated gunpowder must not be produced in large quantities, and it is completely impossible to expect this thing to turn the tide of the war.

However, there is no difference between having and not being.

Defeat before you expect to win. To be honest, Guo Ye is really not optimistic about the outcome of this battle.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare, and many of the tricks and tricks of land warfare cannot be used at all. The general law of water warfare is that a big ship is better than a small ship, a more ship is better than a small ship, and a fast ship is better than a slow ship.

Although it is said that the soldiers are fierce and mighty, no one dares to say that they will win. But it is clear that naval warfare is far less unexpected than land warfare.

In case something really goes wrong, the rest of the country will be defeated. Guo Ye will not honestly keep his promises, and organizing the people of the rest of the country to retreat to Datang has become the first choice.

When the time comes, equipping the broken fleet with these thunderbolts will definitely surprise the Fuso people.

"Granular gunpowder? What is that? Miggie asked.

"This is a militaristic weapon, and to put it mildly, it can greatly increase the power of thunderbolts. To Dali, it is related to the national fortune of my Datang. ”

Guo Ye wrote down the production method of granular gunpowder and handed it over to Miji. Zhengse said: "This recipe is not allowed to be leaked by anyone except you and your brothers." ”

"Yes!"

After sending Miji away, Guo Ye began to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle. Thunderbolts of granular gunpowder can only be used as a guarantee, and if you want to turn the tide of the war, you have to work hard in other aspects.

Guo Ye immediately picked up the pen, brushed a little bit, and wrote a few letters in a row.

Looking at the paper where the ink had not dried, he blew it with his mouth and muttered: "Whether it is land or naval warfare, in the final analysis, it is the hearts and minds of the people that are fought. The key to winning this battle lies in these letters. ”

……

……

The sun is scorching and the sea breeze is blowing.

The Fuso Navy, with more than 1,500 ships, took up a position.

More than 200,000 warships of the 20,000 navy of the Fuyu Kingdom have also been prepared.

A five-story ship is the flagship of the Fuyu Kingdom. Guo Ye and the bearded guest climbed to the top floor, and the entire battlefield could be seen at a glance.

The bearded man sighed and said, "The first battle was unfavorable, and the upper hand was robbed by Fuso's navy. When it comes to the art of manipulating ships, the Wa Kingdom is still superior. It seems that today's battle is still really difficult to fight. ”

Guo Ye didn't understand the main points of these water battles, and said: "Do you think the number of people in the Fusang Navy is fake?" Is it about 50,000 people? ”

"It's really strange to say, the Fuso people didn't cheat this time. I estimate that this time the soldiers of the Fuso Navy Company and the sailors are about 50,000 people. ”

"Then this battle still has to be fought. Our ship is much taller than theirs. Let's just talk about this flagship, our Fuyu country is a five-story ship, and there is a trebuchet on it. And the Wa Kingdom, however, did not have a single ship. ”

"Uh...... That's not what you say. The bearded man smiled bitterly: "In naval warfare, of course, it is the big ships that take advantage. But the building boat ......"

"How?"

"It's not that the Japanese can't make it, it's really not very useful."

"What do you mean by that?"

"So that Qin Guogong can know that the general naval battle is nothing more than three means of attack, shooting with arrows at a distance, ramming with a boat when close, and then jumping ship for broadside combat. Among them, the collision plays the smallest role, in fact, it is mainly archery and broadside combat. ”

Guo Yedao: "Then I don't understand, whether it is archery or broadside battle, it is mainly a competition of numbers." Isn't it a great advantage that there are the most people on this floor? ”

"Yes, the advantages are not small, but the disadvantages are even greater."

"You mean to say that the steering of the ship is not flexible?"

"That's just a very small drawback, the most serious thing is that the boat is very resistant to wind and waves. Even if no one fights, a strong wind may overturn. That is, the sky is open today, and there is no wind, so the old man dares to drive this boat out. ”

Guo Yedao: "I see, no wonder there is only such a building ship in our army, and there is no one in the Japanese navy." So, is this ship flashy? ”

"I can't say that. If the wind is not too strong, it is still very useful. At least with this ship as the flagship, the boss is very safe. But you can't pin your hopes on this boat. ”

"What is the key to victory?"

"Three aspects, the bow and crossbow on the ship, the size and speed of the other ships, and most importantly, the bravery of the strong man."

……

……

At the same time, the Fuso Navy, on its part, also talked about this issue.

In this decisive battle, the commander of the Fuso Navy was the crown prince of Kusakabe. His subordinates included the general of the water division, Mu Muchen Hachiro, Masao Kobayashi, Hiruo Inoue, and the right minister Soga Renko.

Although Su I Lianzi called himself a Fusang general to Guo Ye, he was actually a civil official. And his status in Fusang is very high, and the right minister is basically equivalent to the right servant of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is trying to kidnap Yu Nuannuan, or proposing marriage to Yu Nuannuan, it is all from this person's plan.

Although neither of these things succeeded, in the end, it was necessary to rely on the decisive battle by force. But the person's negative damage can be seen.

Of course, as the Japanese have always urinated, he went back to mention the fact that 400 of his men were killed by 40 people from Fuyu Country. It's just that they encountered a counterattack by the enemy's superior forces, and they fell short.

At this moment, Su Ilianzi also frowned, and said: "The competition in naval battle is nothing more than the bravery of bows, crossbows, ships and sergeants. Although we have a large number of people, there is still a big gap between these three aspects compared with those of Fuyu Country. Today's battle is not easy to fight. ”

"Su and I, you can rest the ambition of others and destroy our own prestige." Mu Muchen Hachiro snorted coldly and said: "In the past few years, the rest of the country has been rich, and the ships and bows and crossbows are more powerful than us. But if you want to talk about bravery, how can the Han people compare to my Fusang Erlang? ”

"General Mu Mu should not underestimate the enemy too much, the heroes and heroes among the Han people are probably not under my Fusang warriors."

"Hmph, you lost the battle last time and were scared, right? Let me tell you, they are just bullying and bullying civil officials like you, and if you really meet me, Mu Muchen Hachiro will be like a chicken and a dog. ”

Before Su and I could speak, Prince Caobi shouted "Okay" and said, "Then the first battle this time will be handed over to General Mu Mu, and you can try the quality of the army of the rest of the country!" ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that if I rush into battle, the whole army of Fuyu will collapse. The feint attack turned into a real merit, and other colleagues had no chance to make meritorious contributions even if they wanted to. ”

Caobi said: "If that's the case, the wealthy women in the rest of the country can be taken by the king!" ”

"Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Muchen Hachiro quickly stepped off the flagship and ordered fifty ships and three thousand soldiers. With a whistle, he rushed towards the big array of Fuyu Country!

While rushing, he also shouted, "Listen to the truth of the wrecks of the Fuyu Kingdom, I am Mu Muchen Hachilang, the general of Fusang." Today, 3,000 to 20,000, which of you dares to fight? Who would dare to fight? ”

The bearded guest's face sank like water, glanced around, and said, "In the first formation, who wants to break the enemy for this king?" ”

A white-robed general came out of the crowd and said, "A certain family is willing to go!" ”
