The guard Huo Da stood in front and stopped the two crazy people, "Young General, military advisor, subordinates go over and see first." ”

He can die, but the major general and the military division can't.

"It's all exploded, it's okay." Gongsun Lian took advantage of Huo Da to stop General Huo Shao and ran over.

Huo Da couldn't cry or laugh, this military advisor is really not afraid of death!

By the time Gongsun Lian ran to him, the smoke had already cleared, and there were ten sheep within a radius of ten meters, most of which were lying on the ground at this time.

Some of them are already dead, their eyes wide, and they don't look dead.

Some of them had their legs blown off, and they kept struggling and screaming; Others were pierced into their bodies by the iron nails and triangles inside when they exploded......

Only two of them had a few injuries on their bodies, and they were so frightened that they hid not far away and shivered......

"Major General, we succeeded." Gongsun Lian was excited, and after so many days of non-stop experiments, and wasting a lot of materials, he finally prepared gunpowder that was many times more powerful.

General Huo Shao followed Huo Da over at this time, looked carefully, and was also very excited, "Mr. Gongsun, the distance between here and the place where it was thrown is about ten zhang." ”

"Although it's not close, it's not far, in the face of the soldiers of the Pact country who are very good at cavalry and archery, in addition to sneak attacks, the front can only support the first wave of charges, so we have to take advantage of the chaos to run."

When Gongsun Lian heard this, he nodded, "I also think that the distance is a bit short, and you can bring a few self-defenses to have an unexpected effect." Mainly used to defend the city, you can use a trebuchet to project this thing out, so that you can throw it farther. ”

"But now I have a problem, in the process of throwing, because of the distance, some of the leads exploded after burning in mid-air, and some of the leads were extinguished while they were still in the air......"

"In short, it's just the initial results, and there's a lot to change, but that's it, and I think it can play a key role at a critical moment."

General Huo Shao thought it was true, he was born in a family of military generals since he was a child, and he was sensitive to the fact that this iron lump in his hand might change the way of the entire war.

"With this thing, when the Treaty Kingdom invades, I will take people out to attack the Treaty Soldiers, and I will be a little more sure."

Gongsun Lian heard this, and said with a smile: "Our craftsman inadvertently prepared a kind of gunpowder that burns quickly and vigorously. If it can be thrown at night to the place where the Covenant country is encamped, the fire will soon be in one piece. ”

"When it's dark, the people are in a panic, and it's easy to cause a roar and make them kill each other. That's where the new weapon comes in. ”

Major General Huo thought so, "What the military advisor said is true. ”

Originally, they were worried about the possible invasion of the treaty country this year or next year, but now that they have a good solution, they finally have confidence and can sleep peacefully.

Gongsun Lian explained to the people below and kept it properly.

Gongsun Lian looked at a few old craftsmen and said with a smile: "The effect is good this time, the young general said, and each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." ”

Old man Zhang has been making firecrackers for generations, and after being suddenly caught in the middle of the night, he thought it was a kidnapping, and his family had no money to ransom him, so he was doomed this time.

I didn't expect it to be not a kidnapping, but to participate in gunpowder research. In the past, he only studied the firecrackers made of gunpowder, which became louder and brighter, but deliberately avoided the danger and harm caused by gunpowder.

What is being studied now is the opposite, what is sought is danger and harm, and the bigger the better.

Old man Zhang was very experienced, but he was reluctant to do it, and after learning that the other party was General Huo Shao and Mr. Gongsun, he also explained to them that the Treaty State might invade the Great Yan State.

Now that the Great Yan State is short of troops, it is possible to break the city. Old man Zhang suddenly changed his mind, he didn't want his hometown to be trampled by the iron hooves of the Treaty State, and he didn't want his family to be brutalized by the Treaty people.

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, and thank you Major General." Old man Zhang was very happy, not only did he have a high salary here, but also a reward for silver, "We have been out for a long time, when can we go home?" ”

Gongsun Lian smiled, and then said: "It is suspected of being confidential, you can't leave now, but you can write letters to your family." In addition, there are still many problems with gunpowder, and we will continue to improve. ”

A lot of people are experienced, but they don't have many ideas that break the mold.

He wanted to thank Mrs. Li, and he felt the need to talk to Mrs. Li, maybe he could get unexpected ingenuity from Mrs. Li.

Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking of the power of gunpowder, hesitated slightly, and nodded, "Mr. Gongsun is right, such a thing really has to be kept secret, once it spreads, I'm afraid there will be a big mess." ”

"We believe that the Major General and Mr. Gongsun will not harm our families, but others may not. Maybe they will arrest our family, coerce and lure us into telling the formula, and finally kill us. ”

Old man Zhang is the oldest, and he also understands the world the most.

He immediately thought of the crux of the matter, and also thought of the consequences.

The others were originally very homesick and wanted to go home to see, but when they heard Old Man Zhang's words, they gave up one after another.

There is a young man in his twenties surnamed Tang, the third in line, and everyone calls him Tang San.

"Strategist, my parents went early, and my wife and three children were at home, I miss them, and I'm worried that they won't have a good time."

Gongsun Lian patiently explained, "Actually, I want to suggest that you move here, so that the young general's people can protect you." In this way, you can go home and have a look at it during the holidays. ”

Tang San's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's naturally best to be able to move over, but I want my son to study, is it okay?" ”

Gongsun Lian nodded, "In the village three miles away, there is a private school, and there are people in Lihua Village under the mountain who are studying there, and when the time comes, send your son over to study." ”

"In addition, we will build a house for your family, so you can live here without worrying about danger."

"Thank you!" Everyone thanked them, they were originally just craftsmen, and they didn't earn as much as they do now.

Now not only does he make a lot of money, but he also gets the respect of the major general and Mr. Gongsun, and he has a good future.

Even if they are not free in their lives, they can make a good life for their wives and children, and they can still study. If you can get famous, it will really be a glorious ancestor.

The arrangement of good wine and good food allows these craftsmen to be happier and more engaged in research in the future.

Niu Dazhuang came over with a food box and smiled, "Strategist, Mrs. Li is fine." When I got home, I made something delicious and sent it over. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Lian's stomach growled, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

"Major General, let's go to the house for dinner." Gongsun Lian stretched out his hand to invite, the young general never ate or drank, and his eyes were full of gunpowder.

Major General Huo smiled, "Okay, Mrs. Li personally sent it to you, it must taste good." ”

The meat dish was a little cold, and the cow was so strong that people put it in the steamer to steam for a while.

When the white smoke came out of the steamer, the domineering fragrance also emitted.

Niu Dazhuang stared at the steamer with big eyes and kept swallowing.

At this moment, more and more people gathered around the steamer, holding dishes and chopsticks, staring at the steamer.

Old man Zhang was among them, and he couldn't go home, so the military advisor said to prepare wine and good food for them, "Is this the military advisor and the major general rewarding us?" ”

The taste is too overbearing, too fragrant!

"This ......" Niu Dazhuang was speechless, these people study gunpowder, they are all the "baby eggs" of the major general and military advisors, he can't afford to provoke him, "It's not steamed yet, wait!" ”
