Chapter 31 Preparation (1)

However, the three cylindrical buildings inside the wall are still very eye-catching. They are at least three or five feet tall, and are all oval, with many holes left on them, just like beacon towers on the Great Wall, but they look very strange and ridiculous. But what Guo Fu didn't know is that this was Zhang Shun's proud work

Before Zhang Shun traveled through time, the anti-Japanese drama was popular, so the first thing he thought of was the artillery tower. In fact, the architecture of the artillery tower is very simple. Even people who do not have experience in architecture can build it. However, many people cannot imagine such a strange building. There are many people with architectural experience in Xiangfan, so when Zhang Shun came up with this idea, Lao Xu personally went to find a group of people to do the work, so the three artillery towers quickly stood here.

Zhang Shun's idea was very simple. These three artillery towers were enough to control the entire road. If they cooperated well, they could resist the attack of the opponent's large groups of troops. You should know that when facing such a building, the Eighth Route Army had no guns at that time. The only regret was that this thing was called the artillery tower, but there were no guns on it. If there was a cannon, or a heavy machine gun, as long as the bullets were enough, Zhang Shun could definitely guarantee to kill all the Tartars here.

"Then we should raise the wall a little higher first. It's too short and useless." Zhang Gui frowned.

Zhang Shun sighed, "Brother, I think too, but there is no time. We are just a few people. We don't need time if we want to do anything. Everything has to be done slowly."

"Yes, there are still too few people in our country." Zhang Gui nodded helplessly.

"Brother Third Brother, the modified three-bow crossbow fire rate is enough, but why do I think it will take time to disassemble the arrow box on it? If we don't have time to train, our brothers may still suffer." Guo Polu frowned and said seriously.

"You are right, so I plan to divide our people into three groups, one shoots the crossbow and the other two mount the arrows, and then keeps circulating to ensure that the arrow rain continues. But these are all small things. We have too many things now and don't have enough manpower, so we can only let everyone use the rest time to train and tell the kitchen to cook according to my requirements every day. This method, if the food cannot be guaranteed, then everyone will really not be able to stand it."

"Okay, everyone's mood is very high, there should be no problem to hand it over to our brothers. But..." As soon as Guo Polu said this, someone shouted outside the door, "Xiao Guo, your sister is here, right outside."

This sentence suddenly interrupted him, and a very strange expression appeared on his face, "My sister? Could it be that my second sister is back?" In his impression, it seemed that only his second sister was still caring about him, and the eldest sister would definitely not come to see him.

Zhang Shun smiled, "I'll know if you're mumbling here, go out and take a look." Zhang Shun smiled as he ran out, "I don't know if his second sister looks the same. I've never seen a twin who looks like when she grows up. It's great to have family." When she was speaking, she suddenly remembered that little Zhang Yuqi was coming, and she didn't know what Guo Fu was doing now.

"San brother, now we have crossbow arrows, and the fireworks before, it's really like a tiger's wings. I'm just waiting for the Tartars to come."

"By the way, Lao Xu, I want to tell you something. We won't make fireworks now, and we won't do any more firecrackers in the future."

"What? Why don't we do the destruction cannons? I'll throw such a good thing away?" Old Xu immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"Listen to me. Have you not understood the last battle yet? Our destruction cannons have congenital deficiencies. They will fail immediately when it rains. This is not possible. We can't tell the Tartars that they won't fight when it rains in the future."

"If you don't want such a good thing?"

"It's not bad. We need to improve it. It's best to improve the ability of explosives. It's best to make good weapons that can fight no matter what weather."

"Okay, okay, but this is difficult. I have thought about using a bamboo tube before, but I can't stand the blow-up. My eldest disciple's three fingers fell off, damn it."

Zhang Shun nodded, "So we must change it. Only after it is changed will it increase lethality. In the future, we can only use this thing to kill the enemy, and we must not let it hurt our own people. You can first see if we can use this recipe to make up new gunpowder. If it works, we will really have a big killing weapon." Zhang Shun took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lao Xu.

Lao Xu took it and looked at it for a long time before hesitatingly asked, "Is this amount a little too large? What if he is blowing up the chamber?"

"So I want to ask you if you know better blacksmiths, maybe they can have a solution. Besides, I have something to do with them."

"Blacksmith? Yes! My in-laws are the best blacksmith in Xiangfan. Who doesn't know if you ask Gao Laowu in Xiangfan?" Old Xu's answer made Zhang Shun happy, but he said next, "It's a pity that when he was fighting the war two years ago, he lost one hand. Now he can only recuperate at home. He is like a useless person, and no one says it's easy to use."

"Then does he have any apprentices or something?"

"Of course there is. He was the boss of the military in Xiangfan before. Now, the people in this field are basically his disciples." Old Xu smiled and said, "Although he can't do something directly, I'm asking. Most people can't figure out your ideas, and they have to find such masters to talk about them together, right?"

"Then can you find him?"

"Of course, he is in Fancheng. I'll go now and come back at noon."

"Okay, you'll go and get this person right away. We're too busy with time. If there's someone like this help, that's great." Unexpectedly, Lao Xu didn't move at all, but stood there and smiled. Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Of course, let me tell you the truth. My in-laws are not ordinary people. He had a weird temper at first, but now he always feels that he has become a useless man and has a more scary temper. If you want to ask him out, if you don't bring out something, he will not pay any attention to you."

"Things? What?"

Lao Xu was a little anxious when he heard this, "Why are you pretending to be confused with me? If you hadn't brought out what I wanted before, would you think I would follow you? You still want to be famous all over the world, or would you think I was idle?"

Zhang Shun then understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and pulled out a scroll from a pile of paper on the table and handed it over. "So what did you think you said this? Take it for him to show it, but be careful not to spread it out. This thing is our future leader."
