"Anguo, this is a good word, Anguo is prosperous, and he has great ambitions."

Lin Zhong listened to his newly taken words and couldn't help but admire.

Lin Xingzhu said: "General Su has such lofty ambitions, and Liang admires it, but Liang has a question and wants to ask General Su for advice." ”

"Please." Su Yan replied.

"I have always been unsatisfactory with firearms, the projectile cannot penetrate even the cotton armor of the man, and the explosion of the chamber before the battle has occurred from time to time, and the general's corporal and soldiers are all equipped with firearms, and it seems that they are not worried about such accidents?"

Su Yan smiled slightly and said: "The firearms of our army are smoothbore guns imported from the Taixi countries, with a range of two hundred steps, which is not comparable to the shoddy manufacturing of domestic craftsmen.

I don't mean to look down on domestic craftsmen, it's just that the imperial court system is corrupt, and the craftsmen have no intention of studying, and the things they create are naturally clumsy. ”

Lin Xingzhu's eyes lit up when he heard that he could fight two hundred steps away, but he still retained some doubts and said, "General Su, can you demonstrate it for me?" ”

"Nature." Su Yan bowed his head, and then ordered a platoon of line infantry acting as a guard of honor to reload the rifles, and set up a few more conspicuous targets in the distance, allowing the line infantry to fire a volley.

After a round of salvos, there were several small holes on the target in the distance, and Lin Xingzhu personally rode his horse to inspect it, stroking the holes left by the projectile above, and couldn't help but exclaim.

When he came back, he clenched his fists and said, "This firearm is sharp, and Liang admires it." ”

Su Yan saw that he looked at the smoothbore gun from time to time, and his face showed a little affection, so he said generously: "And Liang likes it so much, then I will give you a gift of adult beauty, and I hope that Liang can use the smoothbore gun to kill a few more Qinggou in the next battle." ”

Lin Xingzhu listened to it and said happily: "General Su is generous, and Liang has thanked General for his kindness!" ”

Several people laughed and talked, and Su Yan then invited them into the city, and the more than 800 Lin family soldiers who followed were arranged outside the city to enjoy the food that had been cooked.

In the county office, several people first enjoyed a hearty lunch, and then discussed how to deal with the invading Qing army.

Su Yan said his opinion first, he was going to take down the other two key passes from Yongchun to Dehua before Ma Degong pulled out, and then took the initiative to attack from the key passes of Tianma Mountain, and after fighting with Ma Degong, he pretended to be defeated and lured the Qing army into the ambush circle, and the army set up an ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, and after the Qing army pursued into the ambush circle, they were killed together to defeat the Qing army.

As soon as Lin Zhong heard this, he shook his head at Su Yan's still immature strategy, he recalled his understanding of Ma Degong, and said:

"Ma Degong has entered the Dehua battle many times, and he knows the local terrain quite well, and every time he goes out, he will first send scouts to explore the road in front of the army, to ensure that there is no ambush in front of the army before continuing to march, and the method of routing the army to lure the enemy deep may not work."

Su Yan was not annoyed when he saw that his thoughts were refuted, and asked patiently: "What is the best plan for the third brother?" ”

"It's not a good idea, it's just a few more strokes to your plan." Lin Zhong said, "Ma Degong only thinks about his own interests and unscrupulous means, we can just take advantage of this to set up a bureau, where you or I lead a small number of military horses to meet the enemy head-on, and after the battle, pretend to be invincible and flee, and retreat to the outer house." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the side of a large lake on the map, which was on the south side of the key pass of Tianma Mountain, almost beyond the mountains, with dense mountains and forests on the north side, and flat land on the south side, but it was blocked by a large lake, which was completely in line with a battlefield that fought against the water.

"Our main force is ambushed in the mountains and forests on the side of the outer house in advance, Ma Degong in order to kill our bandit leaders and win the first merit, will not send soldiers and horses to investigate the ambush, and when the Qing army pours here, all the ambush soldiers will be killed, and the Qing army will be annihilated here!"

After Lin Zhong finished speaking, he seemed to be able to see the dawn of victory, and his face was filled with joy.

Su Yan shook his head and said, "If the Qing army realizes that it is under siege and is still fighting, our sergeants are not the opponent of the Qing army, how can we achieve the goal of annihilating the Qing army?" ”

He is very sober, there is a certain gap between himself and the Qing army in terms of individual combat effectiveness, and when the Qing army finds itself surrounded, with the blessing of the buff of the trapped beast, I am afraid that it will not be directly forced out by the Qing army.

However, he thought about it, this plan is not impossible to implement, the Qing army of more than 2,000 people crowded into this narrow flat land, not only can not be set up in formation, I am afraid that even the sword can not be wielded, if he can create explosives such as thunder in advance and throw them to the dense places of the Qing army, the casualties are secondary, and the blow to morale is extremely heavy.

Thinking of this, before Lin Zhong could speak, he said again: "However, I do have a sharp weapon that can help our army win this war. ”

"What?"

Lin Zhong and Lin Xingzhu were both curious by him, and hurriedly asked.

"Boom!"

……

Although the thunder is not a product of the system, it can also be easily manufactured, the principle of the thunder is nothing more than to put gunpowder and iron nails and other sharp objects in a container, and after the gunpowder is ignited and exploded, the sharp objects will kill the surrounding soldiers with the assistance of impact force.

The best container for gunpowder and sharp objects is ceramics, and Dehua happens to be a well-known porcelain capital, not much else, that is, more ceramics, Su Yan's subordinates quickly found a lot of ceramics that meet Su Yan's requirements, and under his guidance, poured gunpowder and iron nails into the ceramics.

When it was full, the soldiers sealed the porcelain completely, leaving only a small hole into which the lead could be inserted, and when it was done, they began experimenting with it, inserting the lead into the small hole and igniting it.

When the fuse was almost burned, he threw it with all his might, and the ceramic, the size of an adult's fist, tumbled in mid-air, and exploded as it hit the ground, and the iron nails inside flew in all directions with the porcelain shards, clanging against the armor worn by the scarecrow on the test ground.

When the soldiers took the armor off the scarecrow and brought it to Su Yan and the others, Lin Zhong and Lin Xingzhu couldn't help but take a breath as they looked at the several potholes on the armor.

Lin Zhong stroked the pothole above with his own hands, and said: "If this explodes in the crowd, the damage caused should not be underestimated, and if the neck, face, and other vital points exposed outside the armor are hit, they will lose their combat effectiveness on the spot." ”

"Not only that, the terrible shouts and miserable conditions of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield will always shake the morale of the Qing troops around them, General Su, I can already expect the grand occasion of the Qing soldiers crying wolves under the thunder on the battlefield."

After Lin Xingzhu finished speaking, he and Su Yan glanced at each other and laughed.
