Li Yao followed Shao Xiangming to the city wall of Yi County, there are not many soldiers on the city wall, and there are only a hundred people stationed on the basic city wall, although there are few people, but one by one they stand like sculptures, the military posture and military appearance are very good, Li Yao is very satisfied, and said: "General Shao, how often do these posts change?" ”

Shao Xiangming said: "There are a total of 5,000 guards in Yixian County, and 400 people are changed each time, and the guard is changed once an hour!" ”

Li Yao nodded, and then asked, "Where is the point where the flying thunder canister is erected?" Take me over! ”

Shao Xiangming led Li Yao up the city wall, the city wall of Yixian County has been transformed, much wider than the general city wall, Shao Xiangming pointed to the small pit on the ground, and said: "Each small pit here is the point where the flying thunder cylinder is erected, and the city wall battlements in front of each pit have been removed, which is also to expand the angle of the flying thunder canister shooting, so as to hit the enemy more flexibly!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "These designs are not bad, you bothered!" ”

Shao Xiangming hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this city wall was designed by the King of Craftsmen, and I didn't make any efforts!" ”

Li Yao asked, "Then apart from these firearms, where are your cold weapons?" ”

Shao Xiangming said: "Master Hou, the cold weapon we still use is the original, basically there are only two kinds of crossbows and catapults, but the king of craftsmen has slightly modified these two weapons, and the power of these two weapons has been greatly increased!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Don't rely too much on firearms, because firearms are very restrictive, of course, don't disbelieve in firearms, now our firearms bureau is researching new gunpowder, I believe that in the near future, we will have more powerful firearms!" ”

Shao Xiangming nodded, and said: "Firearms, a new weapon, are indeed a bit restrictive, it turns out that when I took my soldiers to see the grenade demonstration, a total of ten grenades were thrown, and five of them were squibs, which is indeed not particularly stable!" ”

Li Yao was taken aback and said, "What? Ten grenades, five dumb? ”

Shao Xiangming nodded and said: "That's true, later I asked the Firearms Bureau the reason, and they said that it was because the grenade was damp, so we usually attach great importance to the moisture-proof of firearms!" ”

"Let's go, take me to see where you store your firearms!" Li Yao said.

Shao Xiangming took Li Yao to the warehouse on the city wall, this warehouse is a small warehouse, and there are not many firearms stored in it, which is just enough for emergency use!

The person who manages the firearms warehouse is specially trained, and when the warehouse manager saw Li Yao and Shao Xiangming coming at the same time, he bowed down and said, "See Hou Ye, see General Shao!" ”

Li Yao said: "Open the warehouse, I want to take a look!" ”

The warehouse manager immediately opened the warehouse, and there were a lot of hay, grenades, rockets and other firearms neatly stacked on the hay in the warehouse, Li Yao asked: "How are the moisture-proof measures in this warehouse?" ”

The warehouse manager said: "Master Hou, please rest assured, our warehouse managers have been specially trained by the Firearms Bureau, and they understand the storage methods of gunpowder, which will definitely keep these firearms effective to the greatest extent!" ”

Li Yao picked up a grenade and looked at it, there was no problem, and then said to Shao Xiangming: "General Shao, take ten grenades and go out and try it!" ”

Shao Xiangming asked his subordinates to take ten grenades casually, and was about to go out, when the treasury manager took out the account book and said, "General Shao, please stay in trouble, you need to sign and confirm before leaving!" ”

Shao Xiangming looked at the warehouse management helplessly, and had to reflexively walk back to the warehouse management and sign his name before leaving!

Li Yao looked at all this, didn't say anything, and left the firearms warehouse, Shao Xiangmingcai said: "Master Hou, let you see the smile, take a firearm and sign it!" ”

Li Yao said: "Isn't it normal to sign with a firearm? Firearms are no better than cold weapons, and if you lose this, the consequences can be quite serious! ”

Shao Xiangming nodded hurriedly and said, "What Master Hou said is right!" ”

Several people came to the school field and found an empty place, Li Yao said: "Light the grenade, throw it out, and I'll see the effect!" ”

The guard lit the grenade and threw it out, booming, but only eight out of ten grenades exploded!

The soldiers stationed in the school yard heard the sound of firearms exploding, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed out, until they saw Li Yao and Shao Xiangming, they stopped, the soldiers quickly sorted out the queue, and people above the company commander level ran to Li Yao and asked, "Master Hou, what happened?" How can there be a sound of a firearm exploding? ”

Li Yao watched the soldiers come out and assemble so quickly, and said to Shao Xiangming: "Yes, the soldiers' reaction ability is still okay!" ”

Then he said to the group of officers below: "I just want to see how your rapid reaction ability is, I am very satisfied with your performance, inform me to go down, add dinner tonight, eat meat, and disband now!" ”

After hearing Li Yao's words, the officers returned to their troops one after another, and then asked the non-commissioned officers to disband!

Li Yao said to Shao Xiangming: "Let's go, let's go and see why those two grenades didn't explode!" ”

Shao Xiangming said: "Master Hou, I'll let the guards take a look, after all, it's a firearm, it's not safe!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "It's been so long, there will definitely be no problems, let's go, let's go and see for ourselves!" ”

But Shao Xiangming was still not at ease, and said to the guards: "Run and pick up those two grenades!" As soon as Shao Xiangming's words fell, the two guards rushed out and went to pick up the two grenades!

The guards repeatedly checked the safety of the grenade to make sure that there was no abnormality, and then handed the grenade to Li Yao, Li Yao took the grenade and looked at it, the fuses of the two grenades were not burned, and the roots were wet, Li Yao said: "I watched you take these ten grenades, and they were all dry when they were taken out, but I didn't expect that after such a little time, two grenades were damaged, and this consumption rate is too great!" ”

Then he said: "Take the grenade apart, let's see if the gunpowder is damp!" ”

The guard hurriedly took out the dagger, carefully cut the grenade, took out the iron ball, and then found a white cloth to pour out the gunpowder in the grenade!

Looking at the gunpowder that was partially wet, Li Yao sighed: "This grenade must be improved, otherwise this is asking for the lives of our soldiers!" ”

Li Yao looked at the style of the grenade and said: "This kind of grenade is still a year ago, and it should be a new grenade by now, even if it can't be permanently moisture-proof, at least it must be temporarily moisture-proof, otherwise there will be a grenade damp in such a short time, so how can the soldiers use firearms when they attack long-distance in the future!" ”

Shao Xiangming explained: "Because it's almost spring and the weather is relatively humid, the grenade will get damp so quickly, and in winter or summer, the grenade will not get damp so quickly!" ”

Li Yao said: "Having said that, you can't use grenades because of the spring and autumn seasons, it seems that innovation is imminent!" ”
