Chapter 430: Rebellion on Yizhou Island (4)
Shi Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, let the big girl deal with it, and his heart was inexplicably moved, he was a small chief soldier, and he could actually be healed by Mrs. Guo of the Science Gate, and he would die in revenge!
After Shi Xiaofeng and the other big girl were treated, he didn't wait for her to ask, so he carefully told the reason before and after the battle: After the Yinxian Navy Division went out to fight, the officers and soldiers were familiar with the routes, currents, and sea breezes in this area.

After the pirate ship saw the imperial navy, it threw down the cargo ship and fled, Shi Xiaofeng ordered a close pursuit, and chased it until it reached a dock called Lugang in Yizhou, seeing that the pirates had no way to escape, Shi Xiaofeng immediately ordered the sailors to surround and annihilate them.
When Shi Xiaofeng saw that the pirate ships were not as tall as his own, he ordered the soldiers to lean up and fight in a broadside battle, intending to take advantage of the fact that the sailors had a stainless steel cuirass weapon to fight the pirates.
You must know that the sea is humid and salty, and metal weapons are more susceptible to moisture and rust, especially the pirates do not have good mines in their hands, and the quality of the weapons used is extremely poor.
Shi Xiaofeng thought, it is nothing to win a battle, Lao Tzu captured all the pirate ships back to Yinxian County, and only then did he see my ability.
However, as soon as the Yinxian sailors and the pirate ship approached, the sailors and soldiers set up the gangplank, threw out the hooks, and prepared to board the pirate ship, when suddenly the pirate ship shouted and threw over a bunch of clay pots, which exploded in the group of sailors and soldiers, and the broken pottery pieces and flames that burst and burned the soldiers were wounded and crippled on the deck.
Shi Xiaofeng's face was burned at that time, he saw a clay pot smashing towards him, and raised his knife to hit the clay pot, but he didn't expect the clay pot to explode in the air, and countless broken pottery shards cut his face without a helmet like a knife, and the fireball that burst out seriously burned Shi Xiaofeng.
Fortunately, Shi Xiaofeng was wearing a half-body cuirass, otherwise the injury would have been even heavier - the sailor needed to jump off the side and climb the rope in battle, so he couldn't wear too heavy full-body armor, and used a half-body cuirass, which was only connected by a cable belt at the back. The stainless steel armor and blades of the Yinxian Water Division are still directly taken from the workshop in Houlong Village, and the quality is much lighter and stronger than that produced by the household.
Shi Xiaofeng and all the officers and soldiers were blown up by this strange weapon, thinking that it was some magic weapon of the Fanren, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw from the dry port and retreat to the sea, but they did not expect that at this time, it was low tide, revealing the reef under the sea surface, and several sailor ships were stranded on the reef and besieged by pirates.
After arriving at the open sea, those pirate ships continued to pursue, throwing clay pots far away with something like a wooden shelf, the wooden shelf threw objects very far, Shi Xiaofeng wanted to fight back, but his bow and arrows were affected by the sea breeze and could not shoot on the pirate ship, and he couldn't fight back just by being beaten, and his morale was even lower, and finally Shi Xiaofeng stomped his feet and retreated with hatred.
Shi Xiaofeng hung his head and said: "Mrs. Guo, it's not that the last general is timid and doesn't dare to fight, it's really that the clay pot magic weapon in the hands of that Fan Pirate is too strange, although the sergeant under my command is brave, but after all, he is a mortal fetus, how can he fight against the Fan Ren magic weapon? If he fights again, he will just die in vain, so the last general would rather be punished by the imperial court than order to retreat." ”
Because Shi Xiaofeng lowered his head, he didn't see the look on the faces of the big girl and Chen Qingdai around him, the two of them had changed color in shock, and the big girl opened her mouth silently and spit out two words at Chen Qingdai: "Dynamite!"
That's right, exactly explosives!
The strange clay pot described by Shi Xiaofeng immediately made Da Niu and Chen Qingdai think of the explosive jar, especially Chen Qingdai, who used to blow up mountains and open mines in the mine, and was very familiar with explosives, she immediately said: "I'll go to the sailor's boat to take a turn and see what kind of power the clay pot is." ”
Chen Qingdai hurried away, and the eldest girl comforted Shi Xiaofeng, this victory or defeat is a common thing in the military, the court will definitely find out the reason, and will not blame General Shi for not knowing it, she also faintly hinted that the second son of Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of War is now in Northern Xinjiang, serving under the old man Guo Jin.
Shi Xiaofeng was waiting for this sentence, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "The last general, Mrs. Xie Guo, is very gracious, but there is a reluctant request, if the Science Gate conquers Yizhou Island, the last general is willing to be a pawn under the Science Gate account to avenge my tragic death of the sailor brothers!"
The big girl said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Shi is an official of the imperial court, this is a bit out of line with my scientific discipline, right? Although my father-in-law, Duke Guo Jinguo, led troops in northern Xinjiang, he was sent to northern Xinjiang to defend by the imperial court's edict, and he has a serious reputation." But here in Yin County, I am the only woman who guards Houlong Village and manages some trivial chores, how can I dispatch General Shi?"
At this moment, Chen Qingdai hurried in, holding a clay pot in her hand, the clay pot was still dripping with water, she said: "Big girl, I found a clay pot on the boat that did not explode, this clay pot happened to be thrown in a water tank used to extinguish the fire, come and take a look." ”
As she spoke, Chen Qingdai carefully unsealed the wax seal on the mouth of the clay pot, only to see that there was a fuse on the seal that was not burned and completely soaked in water.
Chen Qingdai picked up a little powder and threw it into her mouth and tasted it, and said categorically: "It's indeed black powder!" It's just that the proportion is not right, the purity is not enough, and there is no granulation, it is very susceptible to moisture. ”
Shi Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, and it took a while to wake up: "Mrs. Guo, the thing called black powder in this clay pot, is it something invented by the Science Gate?"
The big girl stared at the black powder under her feet, her little face was tight, she nodded, and said bitterly: "Yes, this black powder is a sharp weapon invented by my husband, Mr. Junhou Long, but it is not a magic weapon, even ordinary people can make it." My science sect used this thing to mine and extract stones in the mountains, but somehow, it actually spread out, and even fell into the hands of the fans!"
Shi Xiaofeng didn't know what to say, he was defeated in the first big defeat in his life, in the end, he was still defeated in the hands of the Science Gate, I really don't know whether he should cry or laugh, and he muttered after a while: "This black powder can make even mortals, this, this is a big trouble." Cultivators cast spells and spells, and their spiritual power is exhausted from time to time, but this black powder jar can be smashed endlessly, how can this, this future battle be fought. ”
Chen Qingdai sneered beside him: "Chief soldier Shi, your courage is too small, I really don't know how you became the chief soldier of this water division, don't you know that there is a saying that the soldiers come to block, and the water comes to cover the earth? Although the Fanren pirates stole our family's black powder, but this black powder was originally made in Houlong Village, how to use black powder, is there anyone in the world who is more proficient than our science gate? These Fanren pirates fight with black powder, and they are really playing with a big axe in front of Luban's gate. Don't worry, I'll go back to Houlong Village, bring black powder, and go to sea with you on a boat again, and wipe out all the pirates!"
Shi Xiaofeng was stunned and slapped his thigh heavily, but immediately pulled the wound, so painful that he screamed miserably, but he didn't care about the pain, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "Exactly, since this black powder is a sharp weapon invented by the Science Gate, it is naturally the most proficient among the cultivators of the Science Gate. I'm going to pack up the sailors' ships, bring the black powder, and have a big fight with the Fanren pirates, this time it's our turn to blow the Fanren pirates to the ground, haha, haha!"
Shi Xiaofeng couldn't wait to lead the troops to set off, but after all, his body was not made of iron, not to mention that his brothers also needed to be repaired, and the ships also had to be repaired, so Chen Qingdai decided that after the sailor repaired, she would lead a group of young soldiers and craftsmen from Houlong Village to help in the battle.
The girl specially told Li Bo that if there is any demand in the sailor camp, he will supply it with all his might, and he is not allowed to charge a penny, in the final analysis, the sailor is helping the science sect to fight.
Da Niu and Chen Qingdai returned to their home in Houlong Village, Da Niu didn't say anything all the way, I didn't know what she was thinking, as soon as she entered the room, two lines of tears flowed down, and Chen Qingdai, who was thinking about how to clean up the pirates, was startled: "Da Niu, what's wrong with you? Although the sailor has lost the battle, you don't need to cry." I know that you have a good heart, those sacrificed soldiers, let's take care of their bereaved families, let their children go to righteous school, and their families go to the workshop. ”
The big girl cried more and more, out of breath, shaking her head and choking: "I'm not crying for this, I, I'm really useless, I actually let the black powder formula flow out of my hand." ”
Chen Qingdai was stunned: "Big girl, where did you start with this?"
The big girl wiped away her tears, and said with red eyes: "The black powder was invented by Brother Guo, and he is now in the northwest, of course, this recipe cannot be lost by him." It's just me, who didn't manage Houlong Village well, so that the black powder formula was stolen by traitors, and it also fell into the hands of Fanren pirates. ”
Chen Qingdai frowned, she felt that the loss of the black powder formula was not necessarily related to the big girl, but she couldn't tell how the formula got into the hands of the Fanren pirates - the big girl and Chen Qingdai never expected that the loss of the black powder formula had nothing to do with them and Houlong Village!
After the golden cicada demonstrated the synthesis and explosion of black powder in public at the peach and lotus seed feast in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, this thing spread at a very fast speed, although many cultivators looked down on the power of black powder, and felt that this thing was not as good as even the simplest fireball technique.
However, it is better to use spiritual power without using spiritual power, and cultivators have always regarded spiritual power as their lifeblood, and when they use it, they are as calculating as a profiteer, and they can try not to use spiritual power without using spiritual power.
Therefore, the black powder spread in the cultivation world without the knowledge of Guo Dalu and Houlong Village, and the low-level disciples of the cultivation sect and the outer disciples used a large number of black powder to blast stone mining, dredge rivers, level the land, dig caves, etc.
The cultivators of the Great Li Dynasty also had contacts with the gods of the Fanren, and the formula of this black powder also spread to the gods of the Fanren, and further, it spread to the people, and the black powder in the hands of the Fanren pirates came in this way.
Speaking of which, Shi Xiaofeng's general army was really unjustly defeated in this battle, because Zhu Shangshu of the household department already has a sample of black powder in his hands, and is organizing a group of craftsmen to try to produce it, once it can be mass-produced, it will equip the army of the Great Li Dynasty - Zhu Shangshu even guessed that Duke Guo Jin Guo killed Hu Da Khan with an arrow in northern Xinjiang, and he probably used this black powder - if Shi Xiaofeng was equipped with black powder, why did he lose so badly?
Chen Qingdai didn't know how to comfort the big girl, and only persuaded after a while: "You don't have to be sad, big girl, the formula of black powder is not complicated, and the black powder of the Fan pirates has too many impurities, and the proportion is not much." I don't think it was spread from our Houlong Village, I can't say, maybe it was the pirates themselves. In this way, after Shi Xiaofeng and I defeated those pirates, we captured their leader alive and forced him to ask him about the origin of the black powder, but it will be clear. ”
The eldest girl reluctantly put away her tears and nodded, she suddenly thought of something, and said to Chen Qingdai timidly: "Sister Daiyu, about the loss of black powder, I want not to tell Brother Guo for the time being, and when I catch the pirates, I will ask what happened, and then tell Brother Guo that it is not too late." ”
Chen Qingdai knew in her heart that the big girl was like a child who was in trouble, she didn't dare to tell the adults the truth, she always wanted to drag it out and talk about it after the limelight.
She said in her heart, you are Guo Dalu's wife, and you want to hide his affairs, so why do you come to ask me? But when she saw the tears on the little girl's face, a pitiful look, her heart softened, alas, after all, the big girl is still a little girl. Don't think I don't know, if this is in your original world, with the fact that you have sex with the big girl, regardless of whether the big girl is willing or not, you can directly be arrested and sent to prison to eat the nest.
Chen Qingdai took the girl's hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to defeat the Fanren pirates, don't forget, the black powder has long been abandoned by our Houlong Village and is not used, we now have yellow explosives, smoothbore guns, and even conscience cannons - hey, as soon as these guys come out, the Fanren pirates will not be destroyed in minutes?"
--Houlong Village has long been using clocks, every household has a table clock, the concept of minutes and seconds is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Guo Dalu accidentally leaked out of the "minutes" and other words, quickly by the villagers to learn and use.
However, the big girl wiped away her tears and shook her head vigorously: "No! Sister Daiyu, we can't use yellow explosives and smoothbore guns!"
Chen Qingdai was stunned: "What?!Why?!"
The big girl sighed: "Sister Daiyu, how the black powder is spread has not yet been clarified, if we use yellow explosives, smoothbore guns and unconscionable cannons in foreign naval battles, and if we are not careful, we will lose them again, and even be learned by the enemy, then, how can that be good? If that's the case, I don't have the face to see Brother Guo!"
Chen Qingdai frowned, what the big girl said, it's not unreasonable, yellow explosives don't talk about it, the appearance of the smoothbore gun and the conscienceless cannon is very simple, if it is imitated by outsiders, it will be very bad.
Chen Qingdai said categorically: "Okay, I'll use black powder to deal with Fanren pirates, hey, I want to see if our authentic black powder is powerful, or the black powder imitated by Fanren pirates." ”
The big girl smiled: "How can Fanren pirates compare with Sister Daiyu, you are an expert in playing black powder." "It's not that the big girl is touting Chen Qingdai, Chen Qingdai used to use black powder to open mines, and she played that slippery.
In the next few days, Chen Qingdai buried herself in the workshop to make black powder - Houlong Village had already replaced black powder with yellow explosives, and the amount of black powder needed by the sailor to fight a big battle was quite a lot.
However, Shi Xiaofeng suddenly came to report that the Fanren pirates had entered Sanjiangkou!
But it turned out that after the Fanren pirates defeated the Yinxian Naval Division in the dry port of Yizhou Island, they were arrogant for a while, robbing passing merchant ships everywhere, and the merchant ships were so frightened that they all hid in the port to avoid danger, and the Fanren pirates became more and more bold, and gradually approached the port to peep, like a jackal drilling into the mouth of the sheepfold, greedily staring at the ships full of goods of the maritime merchants.
On this day, when a foreign sea ship entered the port, it was targeted by a pirate ship, chased and killed all the way, and actually had the audacity to enter the internal waters of the Sanjiang estuary.
As soon as Chen Qingdai heard the news, she jumped up suddenly: "These pirates are really brave! The old lady just repaired the soldiers and horses, and he thought that my Yinxian military ship would not dare to fight, so he actually deceived the door to see that the old lady cleaned up this pirate ship!"
Chen Qingdai ordered the young soldiers and some craftsmen of Houlong Village to take black powder and set off immediately, but saw the big girl hurrying over and said that she would go together.
Chen Qingdai shook her head again and again: "This is going to war, what are you going to do as a woman?"
Dani said stubbornly: "It's not that I haven't seen a war, before Yu Dazhong led a group of thieves to attack my Houlong Village, I also carried a knife to protect Brother Guo in retreat." Sister Daiyu, the loss of black powder is a matter of great importance, and I must find out as soon as possible, otherwise, I will not be at ease in Houlong Village. If you don't let me go, the young soldiers and craftsmen will never dare to follow you. (To be continued.) )
