The rain was falling, and it was not small, and the artillery fire had also stopped, and Pang He and everyone were thinking about how to solve Ling Zhen's artillery fire problem. Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Isn't the gunpowder we used to blow up the bridge very good, they use artillery, it's a big deal that we throw the explosives to them, see if we are powerful, or they are powerful." ”

"The problem of gunpowder can be solved, but we need more than just gunpowder, and it's difficult to throw gunpowder that far," Pang He said. ”

Zhu Wu said: "Then can we use a trebuchet or a similar machine to throw gunpowder over!"

Lu Shisang continued: "Who made the gunpowder you made last time, if it can be made, then we can make it in large quantities." With good direction and strength, we can inflict a lot of damage on them, or even crush them!"

Pang He shook his head and said: "The configuration of gunpowder is not something that can be configured by anyone, and you must be extra careful when configuring gunpowder, otherwise it may cause a fire or even self-explosion." ”

Zhu Wu said: "Making gunpowder is a double-edged sword, the production process, there must not be a little negligence, once a large number of production, in case of an accident, it is a very big accident, the damage caused, but not a little bit." ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "I also have some research on gunpowder, and I have done some gunpowder, but the damage is not great, and it is still a little difficult to control it well and achieve the effect I want." ”

Zheng Biao said: "Well, that's right, the power of gunpowder, if made properly, is very big, and the disadvantage is that it is not easy to mix and control. ”

Lin Chong said: "If our stone-throwing can get there, it is also possible, and it can also give them a lot of damage." ”

Zhu Wudao: "But the lethality of the stone-throwing is smaller than that of gunpowder, and it is really inconvenient for our stone-throwing to be moved from the city to the city wall." ”

Pang He said: "That's right, not only is the distance of the stone throwing not that far, but it also takes a lot more energy, and it can't be compared with artillery at all, if we can, we can try to make a similar artillery and attack them." ”

"Of course, it is the best to be able to do this, but the question is, how do we make artillery, and who can make gunpowder for artillery. ”

Pang He said: "Then I'll try it, for these, I have seen it, and I have some impressions, as long as there is no mistake, I want to give me two days, it should be able to be completed, but if you want to make a large number of productions, I think there is absolutely no need to think about it now." ”

Zhu Wu said: "It's indeed a difficult problem, why didn't we think of Ling Zhen's artillery?"

Pang He said: "Because I think Ling Zhen's artillery mobility is too poor to cope with and mobilize, unless it is like now, do a good job of encirclement, and then set up the artillery, you can fire the artillery with peace of mind." ”

Lu Shisang said: "Some of their gunpowder may have been soaked in the rain, and it should take a little time to strike at us again, so we should try to cause them some trouble during this time, so that we can also get some time." ”

Shi Wengong said: "What will the weather be like in the next few days?"

Gongsun Sheng said: "I have calculated, the next few days, it will basically be sunny. If they want to use the soaked gunpowder again, the power should be greatly reduced, and it will even be muted. Our sudden rain this time caused very large losses to their artillery. We don't have to covet artillery too much, and if we can send troops, we can. ”

Pang He said: "Under normal circumstances, I would definitely choose to attack Cai Jing and them. However, after going through the evil arts, everyone has not fully recovered, and I am afraid that if we attack, it will not be effective. ”

Zhu Wu said: "I think what the Taoist chief said also has some truth, although we have not fully recovered, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it will definitely surpass them." At this time, we can give them a surprise attack, disrupt their rhythm, and also tell them that we will not stay in the city and wait for them to attack, and by the way, warn them to be prepared at any time, and they will not be unscrupulous. ”

Fang Jie said: "Yes, we should go out and give them a heavy blow to see who is powerful!"

"If we want to attack, we should attack them at their weakest point, and where is their weakest point?"

Lu Shisang said: "I see that their formation is not unified, Song Jiang and Cai Jing don't seem to have any tacit understanding, if we can, we can attack from among them." ”

Zhu Wu said: "I don't think this is appropriate, although they are two ways of people, but if we really rush in, it will inevitably form an encirclement of us, and when the time comes, the people on both sides will go together, we can't bear it." ”

Pang He said: "Zhu Wu is right, although they are two people, their goal is the same. We attack from among them, and the good thing is that they haven't trained together, which makes a lot of mess. But we also have to face these two people, and it is difficult for us to break through under their attack. ”

Lu Shisang said: "Then what do you say to do?"

"If we want to attack, we have to let them mess up so that we can surprise and do damage," Pang He said. ”

Fang Jie said: "What are you afraid of, although they have 400,000 horses, but we also have a lot of horses, compared to before, aren't we the same as fighting twice as many people and horses as me?"

Pang He said: "This time is completely different from the previous two times, what I am worried about is not how strong their combat effectiveness is, what I am worried about now is their vicious schemes." Tong Guan led the troops to fight, but he didn't do anything to the people, Gao Yu led the troops to fight, and as a result, he held the people hostage to deal with us, and now Cai Jing is here to fight, doing these things to the people, these are what I am worried about. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "I understand this, they will do whatever it takes to win, and they actually attack the people, which is compared with bandits and bandits, it is simply inferior." ”

Pang He said: "Yes, I have had these concerns since the last time I held people hostage. When it comes to war, I never worry about anything, I just worry about this unconscionable thing, which is overwhelming. We must not be able to attack rashly now, and Cai Jing's methods of damage will not end here, and we must do our best to avoid these injuries. ”
