Shangguan Xiu settled the situation on the side of Yuzhen, and then returned to Zhenjun with Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, and Zhao Chen.

Outside the pass of Zhenjun, the battle between the Guangfang Division and the Shah Army has begun.

The Shah army is a coalition army composed of six Shah tribes, with less than 200,000 troops, but there are more than 100,000, while Guangfang's side, the strength is only 20,000, and the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, but Guangfang is not afraid of the opponent's strength, because he has the most advanced weapon in his hand, the firecracker.

At present, there are 2,000 firecrackers equipped with the Wind Army, all of which come from the forge, and Guangfang has high hopes for the two battalions equipped with firecrackers. Caidang and Ziyin, who followed Shangguan Xiu from Yongsheng Pass to Zhenjun, also came to the gate and temporarily joined Guangfang.

Yongshengguan is adjacent to Tia, and both Ying Dang and Ziyin know more about Tia's advanced technology, and the two of them have followed Shangguan Xiu to Wendurt, and during their time in Wendurt, they have also learned the application of firearms in the infantry phalanx.

It was suggested to Guangfang that the firecrackers should not be directly equipped with two battalions, in this case, the firecracker battalion would not be fully protected on the battlefield, and it would easily become the target of the enemy's priority attack. Only when the firearms and melee infantry are mixed in formation can they be both offensive and defensive, and play the greatest role on the battlefield. The most // fast // more // new // on // in

Guangfang felt that the suggestion of Dang and Ziyin was very reasonable, and immediately assigned the two of them to take charge of their own firearms.

Caidang and Ziyin completely reorganized the fire battalion of the Wind Army in accordance with the military concept of the Tiya Army. One battalion was 1,000 men, and the two of them divided a battalion into two, divided into the left and right battalions, and the left and right battalions were equal in strength, all of them were 490 men, standing in a phalanx, 70 men in a horizontal row, 70 men in a vertical row, 40 men in the center of the horizontal row, spearmen, and 15 men on each side of the battalion, which were firecrackers. When engaging the enemy, the musketeers on both sides open fire on the enemy, and after the soldiers in the first row shoot the projectiles, they immediately retreat to the last row and reload the gunpowder and projectiles, and the soldiers in the second row move forward to fill their positions and continue to shoot, and then retreat to the last row, and then cycle in turn, forming a continuous continuous firepower to kill and injure the enemy.

If the enemy rushes closer, fifteen rows of musketeers on each side of the phalanx immediately retreat behind the forty rows of spearmen in the center, and then the spearmen and the enemy are engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

There are 490 people in each of the left and right battalions, a total of 980 people, and the remaining 20 people, of which 10 are sharp soldiers, can be used as stragglers on the battlefield, cooperate with the main phalanx, wait for the opportunity to move, and fight on their own, and the remaining 10 people are the heralds of the battalion commanders.

This is the reconstruction of the fire gun camp by Cai Dang and Ziyin, so that the left and right camps of each fire gun camp need 210 fire guns, a total of 420 guns, and the more than 2,000 fire guns of the wind army can be equipped with five fire gun battalions.

After watching the drill of the fire gun battalion, Guangfang was very satisfied, and only three days after the formation of the fire gun battalion, Guangfang could not bear it anymore and launched an attack on the main attack of the Shah coalition army.

However, the first battle did not go well, and the Wind Army's fire soldiers had almost zero results. It's not that there is something wrong with the arrangement of troops in Dangdang and Ziyin, but that there is a problem with the gunpowder of the wind army.

After going to the battlefield, the gunpowder of the wind army was either dumb or completely powerless, and the projectiles in the fire gun were less than ten meters away, let alone any lethality.

The all-round mute fire of the Fire Gun Battalion disrupted Guangfang's offensive deployment, and the officers and soldiers of the Wind Army, who had high hopes for the Fire Gun, were also dazed, not understanding what was going on.

Without waiting for the Shah army to rush forward, Guangfang took the initiative to lead the army to retreat, and retreated until Xibu Mountain, seeing that the Shah coalition army did not catch up, this made the whole army suspend the retreat.

After that, the angry Guangfang immediately gave Xijing the legend of flying pigeon, scolding the forge for fooling him with inferior gunpowder, and treating the lives of the soldiers in front of him as child's play.

After receiving Guangfang's message, Jin Wan'er was also scolded by him, how could there be a problem with his own gunpowder, it was completely proportioned according to the formula of gunpowder.

She deliberately asked the people in the forge to test the gunpowder made by herself, and there was no problem at all, a small bag of gunpowder buried in the ground could blow up a large pit, and the gunpowder was loaded into the gun, and the projectile inside could shoot two hundred meters away.

Jin Wan'er couldn't figure it out at this time, gunpowder was easy to use in Xijing, but how could it not be used when it was transported to Xibu Mountain? For such a big matter as the two armies' conquest, it was impossible for Guangfang to lie or fabricate a battle report, so what was the problem?

In this regard, Jin Wan'er was puzzled, and later Qingyuan overheard about it, he deliberately rushed back to Xijing from the iron mine, and as soon as he checked the gunpowder made in the forge, he immediately understood what was going on.

Qingyuan found Jin Wan'er and deliberately hit most of the gunpowder with a glass bottle.

Jin Wan'er doesn't like Shangguan Qingyuan, although he uses the traditional name of the Wind Country, but he is a thorough Tia person, for her, he is a different race from Fanbang, and as soon as he came to Zhenjun, he was entrusted by Shangguan Xiu with a heavy responsibility to set up the second forging workshop, Jin Wan'er obviously felt that her status was threatened.

Meimu glanced at the uninvited Qingyuan, Jin Wan'er had no intention of getting up to greet her, sat down on the chair, and her eyes fell back to the information on the table.

The information records the topography and climate of Xibu Mountain, and in her opinion, the original good gunpowder was not good after it was transported to Xibu Mountain, and the problem must lie in the local environment of Xibu Mountain.

"Miss Wan'er is still ...... about Xibu Mountain" Before Qingyuan's words were finished, Jin Wan'er had already interrupted coldly: "I am already married, you should call me Mrs. Jin." ”

didn't take her disgust and rejection in his eyes, Qingyuan said with a smile: "But Miss Wan'er's husband is dead, so ......"

Jin Wan'er slapped the table hard and looked at him angrily. Qingyuan looked at her inexplicably, he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, her husband was indeed dead, and now call her Miss, is there no problem?

Seeing the innocent look on his face, Jin Wan'er was even more angry, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Why did Lord Shangguan come to my forge today." ”

"Everyone is a colleague, just call me Qingyuan. ”

"What is the matter with Lord Shangguan? If it's okay, I won't send it far!" After speaking, Jin Wan'er didn't look at him again.

Qingyuan shrugged, walked up to Jin Wan'er, and said, "I'm here to help Miss Wan'er solve her doubts." ”

"Mrs. Jin!" Jin Wan'er corrected again, "What confusion does Lord Shangguan want to help me solve?"

"Qingyuan. Qingyuan also corrected again. He put the glass in his hand in front of Jin Wan'er and said, "This is the black powder made by Miss Wan'er." ”

Jin Wan'er tilted her head and stared at him, as if to say: And then?

"Miss Wan'er should know that gunpowder is made of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, right?"

"Nonsense. ”

However, Miss Wan'er may not know that the quality of saltpeter and sulphur charcoal is different. ”

"Quality?"

"That's it...... Same volume, different weight. Seeing Jin Wan'er looking at herself blankly, Qingyuan smiled, shook the gunpowder in the glass, and said: "From Xijing to Shahe, thousands of miles away, the gunpowder is bumpy all the way in the process of transportation, what will happen?"

"What's the situation?"

"The big ones will sink, and the light ones will float. The gunpowder was transported from Xijing to Xibushan, and the gunpowder was still the same gunpowder, and the composition did not change at all, but in the bumps along the way, the ratio of gunpowder had changed greatly. That's why gunpowder is easy to use in Xijing, but it's not good to use in Xibu Mountain. ”

Jin Wan'er looked at him dumbfounded, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, she really hadn't thought about this problem.

Qingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, this phenomenon often occurs in the transportation of powdered gunpowder, which is not an uncommon thing, and it is precisely because of this that granular gunpowder is produced." ”

"Granular gunpowder?"

"It is to add a binder to the powdered gunpowder to make the gunpowder into granules. As he spoke, Qingyuan untied a small cloth bag from his waist, opened it, and poured out some fine black granular gunpowder from it. He explained: "Granular gunpowder is more stable than powdered gunpowder and is very powerful. We all know that the combustion of gunpowder needs air, there are many gaps between granular gunpowder, which are filled with air, and can be used to get the fullest combustion when burning, and exert 100% power, while powdered gunpowder can not be fully burned, not to mention the sharp reduction of power, but also will produce a large amount of residues, clog the barrel, cause explosion, and use powdered gunpowder on the gun or musket, it is also a very dangerous thing, and it is extremely irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers. ”

Jin Wan'er looked at him dumbfounded, and after a long time, her jade face turned red, she hung her head, and said hesitantly: "I...... I never knew ......."

"That's science. Qingyuan touched his stomach with a smile and said, "In order to help Miss Wan'er solve her doubts, I didn't eat at lunch, I wonder if Miss Wan'er can appreciate her face and have lunch with me?"

Jin Wan'er's admiration for him disappeared in an instant, and she glanced at him angrily, and said, "Tell me, how to make powdered gunpowder into granular gunpowder?"

"Just add a little glutinous rice soup. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Or else?"

She stood up and said, "I must make granular gunpowder at once and send it to Mount Xibu, and the battle ahead cannot be delayed." ”

"There is a drying process for granular gunpowder, so how can it be made immediately? Even if you can make it at once, can you still send it to Xibu Mountain at once? There is no need to rush this matter, let's go to dinner first. As for the side of Xibu Mountain, you can ask the soldiers to stir each box of gunpowder evenly, and it can be used normally. However, you should also remind the soldiers that they should use as little as possible, and it is indeed easy to blow up the chamber with powdered gunpowder. Qingyuan grabbed Jin Wan'er's wrist and pulled her out, while saying with a smile: "I haven't had a good look around since I came to Xijing, if there is anything delicious here, you have to help me introduce it." ”
