When the craftsman heard Li Yao say this, he felt a little interesting, and immediately said, "Go find a few chickens!" ”

The guards hurriedly ran to the back kitchen and asked the cook for a few live chickens, Li Yao said to the craftsman king: "If we fight a defensive war, the power of a single projectile is not the greatest, let's use large particles of iron sand as a projectile, you will know how powerful it is!" ”

Large particles of iron sand firearms are the most scarce, and used scraps are full of iron sand!

Li Yao asked the guards to grab a handful of iron sand, and the live chickens and iron sand were taken to the test site!

Li Yao loaded both gunpowder and iron sand, stuffed the oiled paper into the barrel of the gun to prevent the iron sand from leaking out, and then aimed at the fast big rooster running at the test site!

'Bang' a shot, then the muzzle of the gun sparked, the big rooster in the rush was directly beaten into a sieve, Li Yao asked the guards to take the rooster, said: "Grandpa, you can touch, the bones on the rooster are all broken, if in the siege battle, someone sets up a ladder to go up the city wall, only need to fire the gun to break the ladder!" This power is not a lot of hits! ”

King Craftsman nodded and said: "Looking at it this way, the power is definitely more than a little bit bigger, it seems that when you are usually equipped with ammunition, you should equip the soldiers with a few more iron sand bombs, so that the effect will be the greatest when they cooperate with each other!" ”

Li Yao handed the gun to the guard, then picked up the dead chicken, looked at it, shook his head and said, "This chicken is full of iron sand, I can't eat it, feed the dog!" ”

Li Yao and King Craftsman left the test site, Li Yao said: "King Craftsman, I need a lot of grenades, lightning canisters, explosive packs, and rockets for a while, you are currently specializing in manufacturing these things, I need to fight them in an ambush!" ”

The craftsman nodded and said, "That's no problem, these are usually consumables, so we have a lot of reserves, I don't know how much you need?" ”

Li Yao said lightly: "You need to equip the amount of four divisions!" ”

When the craftsman king heard Li Yao's words, he smiled and said, "Yao'er, as far as I know, your firearms unit is only 8,000 people, where did the 40,000 firearms troops come from?" ”

Li Yao looked at the King of Craftsmen and said, "I want to use these 40,000 troops to attack the upcoming army of the Liang Dynasty!" ”

When the craftsman heard Li Yao's words, he was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "I immediately asked the staff of the Firearms Bureau to work overtime to make firearms!" ”

Li Yao nodded lightly, sighed, and said, "Thank you grandpa!" ”

The craftsman asked, "Are you sure?" We have so many troops, why do we only use 40,000 troops to fight against the Liang Dynasty's army? ”

Li Yao said: "The 40,000 army is harassing the army of the Liang Dynasty, and whether our firearms are good or not is directly related to the success or failure of this war!" ”

King Craftsman nodded and said: "Yao'er, don't worry, I can guarantee that the firearms improved by the Firearms Bureau this time will be moisture-proof to a large extent, by the way, I suggest that the three county towns leading to Yaxian County be attacked, because our saltpeter is transported from Yaxian, if this transportation line is blocked by others, we will have no raw materials to make gunpowder at all!" ”

Li Yao said: "Grandpa, don't worry, now there are 150,000 troops in Daxian County, and tens of thousands of people will be scattered to defeat those county seats, and when spring begins, I will knock down a few county seats!" ”

The craftsman said: "That's good, so you don't have to worry about saltpeter!" ”

"That's right!" Li Yao asked, "King Craftsman, what about those craftsmen who make weapons and armor?" ”

The craftsman king said: "The craftsman has also been transferred to Firearms City, there is no iron mine in Yi County, and it is not good for the craftsman to stay there!" ”

Li Yao said: "King Craftsman, the health of the soldiers is a big priority now, so I want those craftsmen to start making kettles and let the soldiers wear boiling water with them!" ”

The craftsman nodded and said: "This is no problem, I can arrange it immediately, this time, the repair and manufacturing of the weapon has been basically completed, and I can free up my hands to make kettles!" ”

Then I'll give you the drawings of the kettle when I go back!

The craftsman king smiled: "Yao'er, do you still need drawings to make a kettle?" You and my 5,000 craftsmen are fools! ”

When Li Yao heard this, he smiled and said: "Haha, it's me who thinks too much, they are experts in making small objects, and I am actually a layman commanding an insider!" ”

Li Yao didn't have anything to do in Firearms City, so he said: "Grandpa, then let's go back first, Daxian still has a lot of things to deal with!" ”

The craftsman nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll send you!" ”

The King of Craftsmen sent Li Yao to the gate of the Firearms City and said, "I will supervise the manufacture of firearms in the Firearms City, and I will absolutely guarantee that the 40,000 troops can successfully get qualified firearms!" ”

Li Yao arched his hand and said, "Thank you grandpa!" ”

After Li Yao returned to Daxian, the dog head and Li Feng quickly caught up, and Li Yao asked, "During my absence, how happened to Yiguo?" ”

The dog head said: "Everything is going well, especially Yidu, the seventh prince Chen Fang is already on the verge of collapse with Yangyun, as long as Yangyun dares to lead the army out of Yidu, we can capture Yidu in an instant!" ”

Li Yao said: "It's useless for us to benefit now, leave it to Yang Yun first, my father-in-law once told me in the national capital, let me unite the great prince of Yiguo, let the great prince of Yiguo contain Yang Yun, we can resist the army of the Liang Dynasty wholeheartedly, otherwise we may not have enough military strength in a two-front battle!" ”

The dog head thought for a moment and said: "What the prime minister said makes sense, we may really not be able to fight on two fronts, if we can unite with the prince of Yiguo, this is not a bad plan, but how to get the prince of Yiguo to send troops, this is a bit difficult!" ”

Li Yao said: "My father-in-law said that let the prince of Yiguo cooperate with us, and the land that will be beaten down will be divided equally with us at that time!" ”

The dog head thought for a while and said, "I'm just afraid that the prince of Yiguo won't be willing!" ”

Li Yao said: "There is no reason for him to be unwilling, if I am kicked out of Yiguo, Yiguo will definitely be occupied by the Liang Dynasty, and then the eldest prince will not be able to take back the occupied land!" ”

The dog head said: "In that case, then I will go to the prince of Yiguo!" ”

Li Yao shook his head and said, "This can't be done, now that the 100,000 army has just arrived, you are needed to do the political education work, and I still need to go!" ”

Li Feng hurriedly said: "Master Hou, no, you are our backbone, if something happens to you, then our military spirit will be scattered, why don't I go!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "The several counties leading to Yaxian County still need you to fight, you can make a plan and give me a report when you go back!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were still very worried, Li Yao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I believe that the eldest prince is not a fool, cooperating with us will only get benefits, and they will definitely not hurt me at this time!" ”

Seeing that Li Yao was so confident, the dog head said: "Then I'll tell the blind man and ask him to tell you all the scout locations in the territory of the Great Prince of Yiguo, and if something happens, let them secretly answer you!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Well, I'll tell the blind man about this matter, you all get busy first!" ”
