Sun Ce placed an order, and if he has money, he won't earn anything. So Liu Ye presided over the development of new shells that can burn quickly, and after hearing that Sun Ce was going to order a new bomb, Tao Ying was still a little depressed at first, why did they want this kind of bomb? I can't guess it all the time, but they're not a threat to themselves now, so let's make money quickly!

So Tao Ying stopped the agricultural encyclopedia that he was about to write, and then joined in the development of incendiary bombs. Although he is a master of military engineering and specializes in ammunition, the industrial base of this world is too weak, and many things cannot be combined. So Tao Ying could only write books and teach at the same time, and at the same time lead them to develop them little by little.

Because Sun Ce was urging in the south, but how could a bomb that could explode and burn the enemy at the same time be invented in such a weak place with such a weak industrial base for a while and a half? So Tao Ying decided to first order a batch of catapults from the cold weapon manufacturing company for Sun Ce, and then sell them the oil cans he had invented that could be ignited.

Compared to bombs, this operation is simpler and can burn other people's things in a large area. In November, the Southern Water War reached its peak, and the stone thrower originally sold to Sun Ce was equipped by Sun Ce on the banks of the Yangtze River. There are many stones in the south, when the Yuanshu battleship vainly tries to take advantage of the advantage of more people to land, the stone-throwing machine will throw stones from the shore to the Yuanshu battleship, because the Yuanshu battleship is very dense on the river, so it is smashed and worn a lot. After the wooden battleship was pierced by the huge stone carvings, it could not be blocked. One ship was blown up, and the passage of other warships was also blocked.

Sun Ce was equipped with the Taoling cannon on the shore, although the Taoling cannon was not strong in combat, it was much stronger than the bow and arrow! A round of shells fired, and the nearest battleship was seriously injured.

In this battle, Yuan Shu suffered heavy losses.

The water battle between the two sides lasted for nearly three months, and finally with the help of equipment such as stone throwers and Taoling cannons, Sun Ce still defeated Yuan Shu and held the Yangtze River, but Yuan Shu collapsed.

After defeating Yuan, the clever Zhou Yu fixed the Taoling cannon on the carriage and then pulled it to attack the city. With the help of the intimidating ability of the Taoling cannon, many soldiers lay down on the city wall when they heard the earth-shattering sound, and did not dare to move. So Sun Ce took the opportunity to attack the city, and for a while he quickly attacked the army of Huiji Wang Lang.

Zhou Yu defeated Liu Miao in the south, and the Danyang County occupied by Sun Ce temporarily settled down. After settling down, this battle brought Sun Ce back to before liberation. The grain and grass accumulated for a year were consumed, and the silver from the treasury was used to buy Taoling cannons and stone throwers, and there was not much left to waste, and it was impossible to launch another large-scale war.

In this battle, Tao Ying started his own Taoling cannon and stone thrower brand again. Seeing that Sun Ce was equipped with the Taoling cannon so powerful, and there was also a stone thrower that could throw stones into the local city wall during the battle, smash the soldiers to death, smash them as if they were, frighten the opponent, and make the other party start to be afraid from the bottom of their hearts, how could such equipment not be in demand?

So Lu Su, the president of the Xuzhou General Commercial Bank, took the opportunity to send envoys to Huiji Wang Lang and Yuzhang Liu Xiang to sell them these two kinds of equipment. After seeing the power of the Taoling cannon, Wang Lang was worried that Sun Ce would attack him again, so he had to use the gold and silver from the treasury to buy the Taoling cannon and the stone thrower at a high price.

Wang Lang and Liu Miao's purchase price was even higher than that of Sun Ce, and a Taoling cannon was sold for 1,000 taels of silver. The stone-throwing machine was also sold for eight hundred taels of silver. However, the stone thrower made by Peng Cheng is far stronger than the stone thrower that has not yet appeared in the Three Kingdoms, and the first use of the stone thrower in the Han Dynasty was invented by Liu Ye, in the Battle of Guandu.

The stone thrower was invented in 196, and after his own physical modification, Tao Ying increased the shelf of the stone thrower, and the stones thrown were twice as far as the ancient stone thrower!

Wang Lang and Liu Miao were very interested in the stone thrower, because gunpowder was too expensive for them to consume. Seeing that the stone throwing machine was so popular, Liu Ye suggested that the production and development of the stone throwing machine should be temporarily allocated to the artillery manufacturing company, so that he could improve them, and then on the one hand, the firearms manufacturing company could have income, and on the other hand, there would be enough funds to develop better firearms, and the problem of workers' salaries could be solved.

Tao agreed, so Liu Ye invented a new type of catapult bomb in the winter time. That is to make a hole in the stone, then fill it with explosives, ignite it, and throw it with a stone thrower, and the stone projectile can explode and kill more enemies.

Liu Ye worked on it all winter, but because the explosive power of gunpowder was not amazing, he experimented many times, but the gunpowder did not blow up the stone.

In the end, the stone bomb was developed to the size of a football ball, and after being filled with explosives, it still failed to blast the solid stone. If you dig a bigger hole in the stone ball, although it can blast the stone, it is also the end of the strong crossbow, and there are more explosives that are wasted, and the lethality is not amazing.

If a stone accidentally falls to the ground, it will directly smash a hole, and the stone bullet will be wasted. The increase in cost, the lack of power, and the same transportation, in the end, in this winter, Liu Ye's stone bomb plan broke down.

However, Tao Ying affirmed his idea, and the only disadvantage now is that the power of the explosives is insufficient, and the explosives must continue to be upgraded. So Tao Ying devoted himself to the development of explosives.

Time passed quickly, and in November, news came from the southern fast horse that Liu Xiang died of illness, and Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin was recommended by the people to temporarily replace Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, to lead Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses. After Tao Ying heard the news, he hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss. After Hua Xin commanded Liu Xuan's army and horses, it would not be long before Sun Ce would raise troops to attack Hua Xin, and Hua Xin would surrender to Sun Ce, who could fight well.

Everyone thought about how to be good, Zhang Zhao had seen Hua Xin, and Hua Xin was a typical loyal to the imperial court. His position of Yuzhang Taishou was also given to him by the imperial court. If you want to get Yuzhang, you must let the emperor seal his own people as Yuzhang Taishou, and then take Hua Xin's position, and then lead his soldiers and horses and then return to Tao Ying.

After Zhang Zhao finished offering advice, Tao Ying nodded. Yuzhang County is Sun Ce's big rear, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now that his old master has just died, he just took the opportunity to visit, and then won over his generals. Everyone knows that they are allies with Liu Xuan, and no one will run away to surrender to the enemy without joining the friendly army!

So at Zhang Zhao's suggestion, Tao Ying sent the envoy Sun Shao to mourn him, and asked him to win over Liu Xuan's generals. For the time being, the affairs of the Cold Weapons Manufacturing Corporation were handled by the severe.
