Chapter 100

Killing Li Xiao would never have imagined that this master of the Ming Dynasty in Liaoyang Mansion was actually a fortune teller.

"Mao Wenlong, what are you teaching the children?" Li Xiao grabbed Mao Wenlong's neck and asked viciously.

"It's just some miscellaneous studies, what are you anxious about." Mao Wenlong saw that Li Xiao was not good, so he moved back and said.

"Miscellaneous? You fucking teach them fortune telling, and my two little ones are now fortune tellers. "Li Xiao is heartbroken! Who would have thought that Xiaoyu, who is like an angel and a cute baby, would actually pull Man Gui and say that the eyes of the boss are peach blossoms. Man Gui's excited heart trembled hands! If it weren't for Li Xiao to stop him, Man Gui would have rushed to the school, and Mao Wenlong would have beaten him up.

"Yiduo doesn't press down!"

"Holy!"

"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao! Don't do it, we have something to say. ”

Seeing that Li Xiao was really anxious, Mao Wenlong hurriedly arched his hands and begged for mercy. This is the leader of Phi Dao, and if you offend him, you will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

"In the future, you will teach, teach the three-character scripture, and the family name of a hundred families. Let the children be literate, and I will teach the rest of the arithmetic. In the future, the principal will not be yours, Lao Tzu will be the principal himself. What to teach, Lao Tzu has the final say. Hear me! Li Xiao yelled viciously.

"I know, the old man is not deaf." Mao Wenlong pretended to pluck out his ears, and his years of officialdom have sharpened his heart black, thick-skinned, and shameless. If you don't have this ability, then you're really a mess.

Besides, Li Xiao has nothing to do, he wants to take his troops out to fight a battle and rob something. When the time comes, this school will not have the final say. The most learned people on the island are just the two of them. Don't use yourself, who does he use!

There is nothing to do about this old bureaucrat Li Xiao, who is busy taking exams and becoming an official these years as a scholar. Many scholars are victims of exam-oriented education who read dead books, and let them come to the island to teach, whether they come or not. When you come, you may not be able to teach it well. It's better to let this old bastard teach him first, at least this old guy doesn't have to prick the child with needles.

Let go of the old guy, Yun Hao went to find Zhang Mazi. I have to get some teaching aids for the children, and the math class is different from the Chinese class. Teaching aids are required for this course!

As soon as he made it clear to Zhang Mazi, he was dragged away by Ao Canghai. Let him see the training results of the artillery team, and know that this guy is showing off, and he can only let him. Who doesn't have vanity, Lao Ao has been training very hard recently, so he will satisfy him a little.

Summoning this group of 500 men from Shandong, Li Xiao did not organize a new musket company. The reason was that there were not so many guns, but the artillery team formed five companies, each with a total of 100 men. Five companies are exactly five hundred!

Of course, Li Xiao did not have artillery in his hands.

However, the trebuchet Li Xiao can build it himself, and Zhao Tiezhu has lost to Yu Lao in the craft of steelmaking. Li Xiao asked him to concentrate on building a trebuchet, and for this purpose, he also got him a simple bending machine.

The training of the trebuchet is as simple as drawing a circle with lime in a hillside clearing. Then someone controls the trebuchet and throws the stone into the circle.

The stones are all modeled after gunpowder bullets, fifteen pounds each.

Ao Canghai's training method is very distinctive, how to aim - no matter what! How to master the power of the throw - no matter! How to master the angle of the throw - no matter what!

Anyway, there are ten people in an artillery crew, and let the veterans of the original artillery team be the artillery commanders. After the simplest trebuchet operation of the church, Ao Canghai didn't care about anything.

A group of people are the circle all day long, and the training cost is very low anyway. The wear and tear of the trebuchet is the biggest expense.

Ten days is an assessment cycle, and stones are thrown into the lime circle according to the regulations. There is fish and meat in the meal, and there is rice in the steamed buns.

If you don't pass the assessment, then I'm sorry. Kelp soup is pickles, and Shandong people like to eat noodles. I'm just going to give you rice to eat, and I want to eat white flour steamed buns. Well, the next assessment will be thrown into the circle and it will be given to you.

It turns out that the best teachers are not gold medal teachers. The stomach is the best teacher!

Eating in the same cafeteria, some people choose from big fish, big meat, steamed buns, and rice. After the assessment, there will be dinner and wine, and I can only eat rice and watch dry. That taste, as long as people think about it, it makes people feel cold.

In fact, many people can't eat pickles and rice in Shandong, but this thing is afraid of comparison.

In order to be able to eat big fish and meat, everyone has trained hard. The simple ranging method passed down by Li Xiao himself spread rapidly among the artillery commanders. You don't need to teach, everyone is sincere and humble.

Because of the inaccuracy of his calculations, he failed the assessment. The gunners themselves did not dare to look into the eyes of the gunners!

Today is the day of the assessment, and it is estimated that the results should not be bad. So Ao Canghai wanted to show off, not only brought Li Xiao, but also brought Man Gui.

Man Gui has not been idle recently, patrolling the island day and night. The fifth master got a hundred and ten war horses to the island, and Li Xiao allocated them all.

However, when they went out to fight, the ships of Phi Dao still could not take their horses with them. No way, trebuchets take up too much space. Li Xiao doesn't have enough ships now!

"Brother Xiao! Full brothers! Take a look! Ao Canghai boasted confidently to Li Xiao and Man Gui.

"Okay, let's watch!" Man Gui knows the power of the artillery team on the battlefield, as long as there is this thing. The musketeers didn't really do much!

"First lap, get ready! Put! "The first lap is the 150-meter lap, which is the closest lap.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......! Ten trebuchets in one slit, fired together. I saw ten fifteen-pound stones accurately falling into a circle with a diameter of two meters.

Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction, the explosive power of nitrocellulose. A war horse can be torn to shreds within two meters, let alone a man on a war horse. Armor is an ornament in front of a bomb.

"Second circle!" The second lap is a 300-meter lap, which is a bit far. The circle has also expanded to three meters in diameter! Within three meters, the explosive power of nitrocellulose is also very impressive.

This time, ten trebuchets were still firmly thrown into the circle.

"The third circle! Preparation! Put! "In the third lap, the range was doubled to 600 meters. The circle painted in white ash on the ground is four meters in diameter!

This distance is almost the limit of the effective range of the trebuchet, and it can be thrown even farther away. But there is no way to guarantee it! There are too many unpredictable factors such as the shape of the stone, the wind speed, etc.

This time, only six or seven stones landed in the circle, but the result was already very satisfying. At the very least, the army on Phi Dao now has the ability to accurately hit targets at a distance of six hundred meters.
