Chapter 221: Capture Daozi County
"I also think so, but we don't have innate masters. The barrel of this red-coated cannon is stronger after being refined by internal qi, and it can better withstand the impact force when the cannon is launched. Tang Chun said.
"If this kind of red-clothed cannon can be refined by the master of the Qigang Realm, it is estimated that even the innate master can be killed. If the cannonball is large enough, it can pose a threat to the Qi Gang Realm master even if he is unprepared. Bao Yi said.
"This is easier said than done, this is not something that a Qi Gang Realm master can make. For the time being, we don't have to think about it, as for the innate master to use internal qi to help make cannons, I'll figure out a way. Tang Chun thought of the two old guys, Compass and Liangdouzi.
"Brother Chun, leave this task of making the red-coated cannon to me. I'm a big fan of tinkering tricks. I've learned a lot about this. "The fat man was actually interested in this, and automatically asked for battle.
"That's it, this red-clothed cannon will be handed over to you to be responsible. One thing you must note is that this drawing must be kept secret. In addition, the parts were specially made by people, so that even if a group of workers were caught by foreign masters, they would not be able to make red-coated cannons. This is the biggest secret that belongs to my Tang family. Tang Chun said with a cautious expression.
"Don't worry, even if my fat man dies, he won't leak it. Because, my fat brother is also a member of the Tang family's army, and he is also a general. The fat brother patted his chest and said.
"The general is a fart, and a foreign commissioner is just a general. Bao Yi sneered.
"Lao Tzu is the boss, you are not a centurion now, a bull's ass. The fat man sneered.
"Fatty. No need to blow. After a while I'll rise faster than you. Bao Yi gambled.
"No way. The fat man shook his head.
"Because, my skills are higher than yours. As far as you are a little sixth-dan, you will not be able to be promoted when you climb to the position of general. Bao Yi smiled strickenly, "Moreover, I have now cleared up my previous exploits." No one dares to say that I, Bao Yi, am a bandit. This was recognized by the court. ”
"We'll see, this red-clad cannon might be made with great power. When the time comes, the court will see that I am a fat man. At that time, the promotion will be great. The fat guy snorted.
"Ugh. That's right. The fat man still has some point. If this red-coated cannon can be successfully crafted and powerful, it may attract the attention of the court. At that time, let's just set up a red-coated cannon factory. Maybe you'll make a lot of money. Li Bei said.
"Well, it's a way to make money. Tang Chun nodded.
The fat man began his work with 200 of his men, dividing the land and buying stoves at the blacksmith's shop......
I didn't expect the fat man to have some experience in this business. Everything was ready in two days. It's just that the stove can't be found in a small place like Taigu County. I can only make up for it.
"It's better to apply for a few large furnaces from the Imperial Court Ware Mansion. How about a batch of gunpowder and a batch of fuel? Also, a batch of good steel is needed. The fat man said when he accompanied Tang Chun to inspect the cannon workshop.
"It's difficult, they're going to say what are you going to do? Li Bei said.
"It seems. I can only be self-reliant. The fat man muttered.
"Don't worry, fatty, when this red-clothed cannon is successful, I Tang Chun will ask them to come over and beg us. Look, when the time comes, you fat man will be proud. Now I announce that you have been appointed as the head of the Knife County Garrison Workshop. Tang Chun reached out and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"The head of the ware workshop, hehe, it is also successful. The fat man smiled disapprovingly. Zhilu said that this identity was too low and embarrassing, and Tang Chun didn't talk about it anymore.
"Two, do you feel like you've recovered a little now?" Tang Chun turned around and returned to Taigu County, entered the inn, and said to the two of them.
"It's better, but the meridians are not smooth, so I can't make it work. The compass said weakly.
"Can you emit innate qi?" Tang Chun was most concerned about this.
"It's a fart, it's not that the meridians are not smooth. Compass said angrily.
"I didn't ask you to fight, I just sent some innate qi to help me refine a few steel cylinders. Tang Chun said.
"What are you refining that thing for, if it's a good weapon, we can't do anything about it. Liang Douzi asked. Tang Chun took out the diagram of the red-clothed cannon and explained it to the two old guys in detail.
"Yes, this iron lump can still be done like this. Where did you come from?" the compass was actually interested.
"An ancient tomb. Tang Chun said casually.
"If this thing can be successfully refined, if it is very powerful, it seems that it is not bad to put it in an empty bag and use it to launch at any time. If you encounter someone stronger than us, you have to scare the other party if it doesn't work. Compass looked interested.
"Hehe, did the seniors agree to help?" Tang Chun asked.
"Help a fart, there's no innate qi. Luo Panzi rolled his eyes, "Of course, if you can get the 'Life-Extending Nine Ring Cream' of the Health Sect, you can do it." I will immediately return to the Innate Great Perfection realm, and when the time comes, what kind of cannon will not be able to be built?"
"Plate, let's try it together. It's just a few steel cylinders, isn't it? We can force out a little innate qi with all our strength. "Good beans don't want to go.
"If I want to get you, I can't help it. The compass snorted goodbye, not happy.
"Alas, I can't do this alone. Liang Douzi looked embarrassed.
"If you don't do it, you can do it, next time you want me to help you. Ma contempt, compass, Lao Tzu risked his life to save you alive, and you don't remember any kindness. It's better to let you slap the west and the east in the first place. Donald was angry, and he forced him over.
"Well, you seem to be a little innate and angry, what's going on?"
"That's the master's business, and it has something to do with your fart. Tang Chun snorted, angry.
"Whoever asked you to save me, I don't accept this love in the compass. Do you think you're a good thing? It's not like you're trying to save us and die for you. Compass scoffed.
"In that case, you can get out of here now, and when the life-sustaining nine-ring paste is brought back, I will use it exclusively for Liangdouzi's seniors. It's none of your business. You're good to go. Tang Chun snorted sharply.
"You dare to tell me to get out!" Compass's pupils widened suddenly, and the momentum emitted, and the air waves rattled the wooden planks.
"Why don't you fuck off? Tang Chun didn't back down at all. The air waves collided in the air.
"Can you really add the Nine Rings of Life Renewal Cream?" asked Luopanzi, staring at Tang Chun.
"Why are you asking this, it has anything to do with your. "Tang Chun is high-spirited.
"I'll help you. The compass made up his mind.
With the help of the two old guys, they really used internal qi to refine the largest part of the red-coated cannon. Five days later, the first redcoat cannon was pushed into a remote valley.
"Fatty, you come and light the first shell. Tang Chun said.
"Order!" the fat man, like a general, shoved a volleyball-sized cannonball into it. As soon as it was ignited, soon the shells whistled away. There was a loud bang. The ground shook and the mountains shook, and everyone ran over to take a look, and it was not bad, and a huge crater with a range of fifty or sixty meters was blown up. The pit is up to ten meters deep.
"It's a success!" cried the fat big. Li Bei, Bao Yi and others are also happy.
"Let's go down there to build a second gate. The more powerful ones, the longer the firing range, and the larger barrels. Tang Chun said.
During this time, Bao Yi and the masters of the Jiang family began to harass and attack with the team. Harassed more than a dozen times. Dozens of soldiers were lost, but the effect gradually came out.
Because, the garrison of Huolan Country in Daozi County is a little boring. As soon as they receive harassment, they will send soldiers to pursue. However, after such a toss, few people could not be found, and thousands of soldiers were sent in one pursuit, but only a few weak ones were killed.
Naturally, there was some resentment in my heart. Tang Chun ordered Bao Yi to lead people to continue harassing, and if he wanted to harass them, he could do it when he didn't do anything wrong.
In February, ten of the Red Cannons were also made. Tang Chun decided to carry out a big operation and hit the garrison of Huolan Country hard. So, Bao Yi led his troops to attack, and seven squads harassed the Huolan army respectively.
Finally, Jiang Dongfei came to report, saying that he had found a team of five hundred people chasing them. Tang Chun ordered Jiang Dong to successfully introduce the five hundred people into the ambush circle, and suddenly, the cannons rang out in unison. It only took half an hour to annihilate 500 soldiers and horses.
This incident shocked the Huolan Kingdom. He was also angry with Shuai Gongman, the highest general stationed in Daozi County. The old guy actually personally attacked with the main force of 5,000 men.
"According to the information from the Bao Centurion on the front line, the main force led by Gongman has attacked along the border of Taigu County. The fat man came in and said.
"Okay, tell Centurion Bao that he is willing to sacrifice his soldiers and ask him to retreat to the military camp where Song Sheng is stationed. This time, we must let Gongman and Song Sheng have a good wrist wrestle. Tang Chun slapped the table and stood up.
"Why don't we work hard to sneak attack, there are tens of thousands of soldiers from Song Sheng in Taigu County here, and the problem shouldn't be very big. Li Bei looked at the simulated mountain model and said. Of course, this is a new product made by Tang Chun.
"I don't know if there are any innate masters in Song Sheng's military camp, otherwise, it is estimated that it will be miserable. Tang Chun said.
"There should be, the innate master is the Yamen of Taigu County, and there will be a town guard. You didn't find it in the Evil Mountain Barracks before, but it was because the general was called by the people and didn't show it. It is impossible for a military camp of such a size to be without innate masters. Otherwise, wouldn't a few innate masters wipe out all the senior generals in the entire military camp. Li Bei said.
"Yes, there should be. Let's gather the remaining military strength and quickly rush to Daozi County, and first take Gongman's lair. Tang Chun snorted coldly, "Explain to Bao Yi, mainly to lure the snake out of the hole." There is no need to fight back, as long as it is led to Song Sheng's garrison, he will withdraw. The main focus is to ensure the safety of personnel. ”
"Well, we have twenty cannons, and we will carry ten to attack them. However, it can only be dealt with temporarily, and it is pointless to want to seize the knife county at once. At that time, the army of Huolan Kingdom will counterattack, and our strength is not enough to collide with them. Li Bei said.
"You said, this Taigu County is Song Sheng's territory, if something happens to Taigu County, wouldn't he be very responsible?" Tang Chun snorted coldly, a line of gloom flashed on his face.
"You mean to teach Song Sheng a good lesson?" Li Bei was stunned.
"Come on. Tang Chun smashed his fist. (To be continued......)
