I have to say that although Liu Fu's method is very stupid, it is still very effective in this weather, that is, let all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion tie the other end of the original stick in their hands with some thin wire, and then tie some cotton, one of which is used to stab the bullet, and the other end is used to rub the barrel, so that the flintlock gun can keep the barrel dry when fighting.

In fact, as long as the first shot is fired, the barrel will always be warm in the future. So as long as this method solves the first shot, the follow-up will not be used at all.

However, there is also an inconvenience in this method, that is, there is no guarantee when there will be a war, so if the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion want to be able to shoot randomly, they must ensure that the barrel is warm when it is warm, and they must keep rubbing the barrel, which makes the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion very annoyed.

But now there is no need for them to rub constantly, as long as the barrel of the gun is warmed at the beginning of the war, although this delay for a while, but it is much better than not being able to shoot.

As the main person who solved the problem, Liu Fu was praised a lot, Liu Sheng said that he would take a concubine after he went back, and said that the candidates had been decided, Zhang Fu listened to it, laughed and patted the shoulder of this goods, and carefully calculated, this Liu Fu was the first of them to accept a concubine.

But looking at Liu Fu's painful appearance, he knew that he was not happy at all with the so-called reward of his father.

Think about it, this thing likes to go shopping in the Qinglou on weekdays, and it's already very annoyed to have a wife in charge, and now there is a concubine, and it is also designated by his father himself, it must not be a good role, it must be used to restrain himself, thinking of this, can Liu Fu be happy?

But now it's on the battlefield. Liu Fu didn't care too much about this matter, but went to supervise the preparation of the Shenji Battalion, and now that the problem of the barrel has been solved, the Shenji Battalion has combat effectiveness, and it is time to show its might in front of the enemy.

And this heavy snow does not seem to have the intention of stopping, but it is getting heavier and heavier, covering up a large number of traps that Zhang Yu has planted a mile outside Hami City, if Harry's people call at this time, it is absolutely impossible to find those traps.

"General, we can't wait any longer. The follow-up 200,000 troops have not arrived, but the grain and grass cannot be transported, we are just relying on the grain and grass brought before, it has been ten days, and the current grain and grass can only support another ten days at most. Zhu Neng was a little unconvinced, he had been delayed in this Hami City for ten days, if he took the initiative to attack, he might have been able to return to the dynasty now.

"We can't bring our grain and grass, and neither can theirs. And we still have Hami City to rely on, all they have is the vast desert and endless snow, you have to believe it. Their days are harder than ours. Zhang Yu said casually.

"The surname is Zhang! When did you become so timid and scared? ”

Zhu Neng couldn't bear it anymore, and he admitted that he was not Zhang Yu's opponent in terms of marching and fighting, but in terms of courage. He thinks that Zhang Yu is not worthy of being this general!

Hu Ye hurriedly went up and pulled Zhu Neng's clothes, this goods must be suffocated, but he can't be angry at the coach. If it weren't for Zhang Yu's face in the face of his old friend, I am afraid that this product would have been pulled out to fight with a military stick.

"General, I have recently observed that King Zhongshun, who is not only actively preparing for war, but also respectful to us, not like..."Zhang Fu was stopped by Zhang Yu before he finished speaking.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing, we have to wait and see what happens." Zhang Yu muttered.

"Report! Discover the enemy! Discover the enemy! ”

At that moment, a soldier rushed in, covered in snowflakes.

As soon as he heard that there was an enemy, Zhu Neng was the most excited, since he had discovered the enemy, now Zhang Yu had no excuse to prevent him from fighting, right?

"Speak!" Zhang Yu's face also changed, don't look at him sitting firmly in Diaoyutai these days, in fact, he has a lot of things in his heart, Zhu Di specially looked for him before leaving, and asked him to fight this time well, it doesn't matter how many people die, the key is to wipe out the enemy.

It has been nearly two months since they set off from Nanjing, and I don't know what Nanjing has become now. And in the past few days, Hami City has almost become a lonely city, and he keeps sending heralds out, and I don't know if they have crossed the vast snowy region, anyway, he has not received a military report from the rear for a long time.

"Report to the general, according to the report, five miles west of Hami City, a large number of enemies have been found." The soldier said loudly.

"Massive? How much exactly? Zhang Yu frowned, what he needed was not an approximation, 10,000 was a lot, and 200,000 was also a lot, but the countermeasure had completely changed.

"The exact number is unknown, but it is not less than 20,000, presumably the vanguard of the enemy." The soldier replied.

"Alright, you can go down." Zhang Yu waved his hand, and the soldier went down to rest.

"General! The last general asks for battle, and he must send the head of Sultan Harry to the general! ”

Zhu Neng immediately stood up, at this time he didn't have the habit of letting go, he had been holding back for so long, and if he didn't go out to kill two people, he would be about to get sick.

"Wait."

Zhang Yu roared, now that it is snowing heavily, the scout's report will definitely be biased, and there are traps outside Hami City, even if those 20,000 horses come to attack, it will be moths to the fire, he doesn't want to make senseless sacrifices.

"Wait a fart!"

Zhu Neng was completely angry, slapped on the table, and then rushed out.

"Cheng Guogong!"

Qiu Fu wanted to hold Zhu Neng, but he was not Zhu Neng's opponent, so he was thrown away.

"Forget it, let him go."

Zhang Yu waved his hand, he understood Zhu Neng's temper, and didn't let him go out to vent, but he was afraid that something big would happen.

"General! Oh no! Cheng Guogong went out of the city with 5,000 soldiers! ”

A moment later, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhu Neng led 5,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the battle.

"Boy, can a hot air balloon take off in this weather?"

Zhang Yu obviously knew about this result, but he was not very worried, but asked Hu Ye directly.

"The reconnaissance balloon will definitely not be able to take off, but the combat hot air balloon can still take off, but the combat effect will definitely be greatly reduced." Hu Ye replied without thinking, although there is no strong wind now, the snow is very strong, and the lift of the reconnaissance balloon is not strong, so I am afraid that it will be dropped quickly.

Even a combat hot air balloon with a strong lift cannot be fully loaded in this weather.

"You go and prepare ten combat hot air balloons, bring gunpowder, and if Cheng Guogong is defeated, help him break the back." Zhang Yu muttered.

"Yes, the last general will go."

Hu Ye nodded, then turned around and walked out, he knew that Zhang Yu would not let Zhu Neng take such a risk, ten combat hot air balloons, this combat power is already very strong, and the enemy has no way to deal with hot air balloons.

"Qiu Fu, you go and lead 10,000 people to prepare, if there is any situation, you will weaken the army out of the city and destroy the enemy." Zhang Yu ordered again.

"Yes! This is what I will do! Qiu Fu took the order and went down.

"General, what about Xiao Wang?"

Anke Temur came up, he also wanted a task, and he would bargain with Zhu Di in the future.

"King Zhongshun, you are the local parent official, or don't get involved, just appease the people." After Zhang Yu thought about it, he said casually, obviously still not believing this Mongolian.

Anke Temur's face changed and changed, and in the end he didn't say anything, and retreated quietly.

"General, do you want me to send someone to keep an eye on him?" Liu Sheng came up, looked at the back of Anke Temur, and whispered.

"No, he can't make any waves now, Ji Shan and Zhou An are already in his palace, I will know if he has any changes." Zhang Yu smiled.

"General, now that the Shenji Battalion has recovered its combat effectiveness, the last general has also asked to fight!" Liu Fu suddenly stood up and said.

"It's not time to use the Divine Machine Camp yet."

Zhang Yu directly rejected Liu Fu's request, the Shenji Battalion is used to attack fortified positions, and now that the enemy's large army has not yet arrived, it is natural to hide the Shenji Battalion well.

At this time, Zhu Neng had already led the people all the way west, passing through the trap belt arranged by Zhang Yu, naturally they knew where it was safe, so they rushed out intact.

At this time, the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility is already less than ten zhang, and if you see the enemy, then you can only engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"General, you listen to the front."

Suddenly, a soldier said to Zhu Neng, and then pointed ahead.

Zhu Neng stopped his horse and listened carefully, in addition to the sound of the wind, he could also hear bursts of shouts, and there was a gradual vibration on the ground.

"Array! Get ready to meet the enemy! Zhu Neng roared, and then all the soldiers lined up and made a defensive formation.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Zhu Neng shook his head, after all, these people were not the soldiers he brought out, they were only temporarily transferred from various guards, and it was rare to do this.

The vibrations were getting louder and louder, completely overpowering the other sounds.

Ten zhang away, Zhu Neng saw a figure, it was a large group of enemies!

When Zhu Neng saw the enemy clearly, he was a little surprised, because he found that the enemy's equipment seemed to be much better than theirs, at least the enemy's warmth measures were much better than theirs, and he now had some understanding of why these people were able to pass through the vast snow and rush thousands of miles to attack Hami City.

"Archers! Put! ”

Zhu Neng roared, and then he heard a whooshing sound, and one arrow after another cut through the sky, crossed the snow curtain, and landed above the enemy.

But what disappointed Zhu Neng was that no one was killed in this round of attacks, because he saw that the enemy's shield was big and thick, and their bows and arrows couldn't shoot through at all! (To be continued......)
