At this time, Zhu Youcheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Oops, when Wugenne attacked the island, I sent someone to burn the granary, I don't know what is going on now, so I quickly told him to stop." We can defend Juehua Island, and we don't have to burn the grain. ”

The guard hurried out to call the man back.

The granary did not burn because the man was tied up in the warehouse by the defenders of Kyaw Hwa Island and held for a day. This is all to blame on the people of Zhu Youcheng's faction, it is not Jinyiwei, but the personal soldiers left by Yuan Chonghuan. Since Zhu Youcheng broke Yuan Chonghuan's conspiracy, Juehua Island has commanded Wang Xiaxe to think of it, and how to think that the four hundred soldiers are suspicious. Today, I saw him come to burn the granary with a fire fold, and I suspected that he had received a secret order from Yuan Chonghuan to sabotage it, and he resolutely refused to allow it. No matter how the soldiers explained, they didn't believe it, and finally tied him up. Originally, Wang Xiaxe wanted to escort his own soldiers to confront him, but when he heard the sound of popping beans by the wall, he knew that Jiannu was invading, so he didn't dare to come and disturb him, so he locked his soldiers in the warehouse.

It wasn't until Zhu Youcheng's guards came to him that the pro-soldier was released.

The soldier said to Wang Xiaxe: "I said earlier, since we knew that Yuan Chonghuan's dog thief wanted to bury us on Juehua Island, we were at odds with him, how could we still help him." I didn't burn it to the granary today, I don't know how Lord Zhu will punish me. ”

Wang Xiaxe was also full of apologies, and Zhu Youcheng's guard said: "It's okay, Lord Zhu said that there is a way to hold Juehua Island, and the granary does not need to be burned." ”

Knowing that the granary was safe and sound, Zhu Youcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He then said to the six thousand households: "Annihilate 5,000 Jiannu today, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Jiannu will definitely come in a big way." Our 5,000 men and their 50,000 or 60,000 people seem to be defeated, but in fact, we have a great chance to defend Juehua Island. Jiannu came to invade Juehua Island, and there was only one way. It's the road in front of the wall. Jiannu does not have a naval army, and it is impossible to detour back to our back. With the wall and our advanced weapons, it will be difficult to completely annihilate these Jiannu, but there is absolutely no problem in defending the island. ”

Chen Guoqi said loudly: "Adults don't need to cheer us up, we know it in our hearts." Five thousand people are five thousand guns, and ten guns for one person can annihilate the invading Jiannu. ”

The six thousand households knew that the five thousand people were not all equipped with firearms, but they didn't care, and they just needed to put a few more guns. Sun Yuan Huaming's rear-loading rifled firebolt was loaded quickly, and if it weren't for Lord Zhu's three-stage shooting in order to protect the firecracker, the Jiannu cavalry would have died faster.

Zhu Youcheng said: "Not bad. And good news for you. Tomorrow defend the island, the artillery will also enter the battle, the enemy at 35o paces away will be dealt with by the artillery, the enemy at 5o steps away will be dealt with by the musketeers, and the enemy within 5o steps will be dealt with by the bombardiers. But now there are just over a thousand grenades left, so you have to use them leisurely. It can't be as extravagant as it is today. him a big watermelon, I knew I would stay in Dengzhou for so long. So he sent someone to the Huangzhuang to bring more grenades. There was a rain of bombs on Jiannutou, which is pleasant to think about. ”

Whenever Zhu Youcheng wants to swear, he will use fruit instead, which is a habit he developed in his previous life, and he doesn't want to change it in this life.

Six thousand households remembered today's bomb rain, and imagined that Jiannu would be blown up in the future. I can't help but waver and yearn deeply.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say about tomorrow's defense?"

Xu Ning said: "My lord, your order today is well adjusted and timely. When we were defending the cavalry charge, we began to shoot people. As a result, many cavalry were killed, but they did not slow down their charge, and later switched to shooting horses, which greatly enhanced the effect. Tomorrow, we will respond to the infantry charge and shoot people directly; And in the face of the cavalry charge, shoot the horse first. The ancients said well, 'Shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before a king'. By the way, we can also let the god gunners with high archery skills shoot directly at the generals they lead the troops. Without a commander, even the best army is just a rabble. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded.

Feng Dingbang said: "My lord, I will cancel the three-stage shooting tomorrow. ”

There was an uproar, the three-stage shooting was proposed by Zhu Youcheng, the purpose was to prevent the gun tube from overheating and exploding, how could he think of overturning this practice.

Feng Dingbang said: "My lord, there are two reasons, one is that it is now the winter when water drips into ice, and after putting a gun, the gun pipe will cool down quickly, and the risk of bursting is greatly reduced. The second and most important reason is that Jiannu will attack the island tomorrow with 50,000 or 60,000 people, and it will not concentrate on one point, but will definitely attack at multiple points at the same time, and if we still take a three-stage shooting, we will not be able to hold the defense line for 15 miles at all. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded, his biggest trouble now is that there are too few people and too few guns. At present, Jinyi Wei only has 3ooo more firearms, scattered to the defense line of 15 miles, and there is only one firecracker six or seven feet apart. If it's a three-stage shot, it's even more divided.

"Yes, the three-stage shooting will be canceled for the time being tomorrow," he said. However, let the soldiers reduce the degree of shooting, when loading ammunition, touch the gun first, if it is still hot, then wait a while before shooting, remember that you must not use ice to cool the fire gun, the heat expands and contracts, and the gun tube will definitely burst. ”

The six thousand households nodded together, they had known about this for a long time. Jinyiwei generally trains in the morning and learns in the afternoon, so they still know the simple scientific principles. They saw with their own eyes that Zhu Youcheng roasted a hard stone on a fire and threw it into cold water, causing the stone to "click" and crack in half.

Jin Guan suddenly came out and said, "Lord Zhu, please allow the last general to participate in the battle." ”

"Didn't you go to war today?"

"No, today we don't understand Jinyiwei's combat style, we only brought melee weapons, and tomorrow we will carry long-range weapons and defend the island with you."

"Okay, multiple toads have more than two forces, you can participate if you want to." Zhu Youcheng doesn't look down on those so-called firecrackers, and he is a little lacking in interest.

"My lord, all of my 400 personal soldiers can open fire, and there are 9 tiger squat cannons and plenty of gunpowder and cannonballs on Juehua Island. I want to lead these pro-soldiers to hit the enemy with shells. In addition, some time ago, I checked the strong crossbows on Juehua Island, and now many of them are crossbows, that is, crossbows wound with feet, with a range of 2oo steps, although it is far less than the fire guns of adults, but at least it is much stronger than Jiannu's horn bow. ”

Zhu Youcheng was overjoyed, stepped forward and patted the golden crown on the shoulder, and said: "As long as those personal soldiers of yours do not retreat a step when they fight, I will reward you all after the war." And within my purview, as long as you don't make excessive requests, I will agree to them all! (To be continued!)
