Chapter 136 Sister-in-law is as powerful as five armies

Historically, the fundamental reason why firearms could develop rapidly in the future was the significant increase in the power of gunpowder.

With the granulation technology provided by Cao Jie, the perfect ratio provided by Gongsun Sheng, and the firearms technology provided by Liu Hui Niang, the second generation of "Flying Divine Thunder" was born.

When the cannon was fired this time, all the leaders on Liangshan Mountain rushed to watch.

The last time the mountain was blown up, only Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Shi Qian were there to witness it, while the others only heard a thunderclap on dry land. Although they all went to see the deep pit of the explosion later, they did not see it with their own eyes after all, and could not imagine the art of explosion with their poor brains.

This opportunity was rare, so I naturally put down what I was doing and came to watch.

The explosive pack, which was not very big, was launched three to five hundred steps away by a catapult, and the thunder and fire instantly covered an area of ​​ten feet.

The loud rumbling sound was truly shocking.

Suddenly, all the heroes looked at Liu Hui Niang differently.

For example, Pan Jinlian and Yan Poxi in Yuncheng only used their beauty to seduce men and could not be considered sisters-in-law. But Liu Sanniang was different!

Looking at the scene of flames rising to the sky, even Chao Gai clasped his fists and called her "sister-in-law" in conviction.

Infantry officers Song Wan and Du Qian were even more frightened.

With their level of spiritual refinement, wearing heavy armor, they are not afraid of ordinary weapons at all.

But if a solid iron man were to be exploded by the Flying Divine Thunder, even pits and holes would be left on him, let alone a flesh and blood body.

It might be possible to dodge one, but if a hundred or so flying divine thunders fell from the sky at the same time, spreading out like a carpet, with no escape possible, even the most accomplished master would die.

"I originally thought that my brother took Liu Sanniang as his concubine because he was greedy for beauty, but it turns out that my sister-in-law has such great ability."

'Liu Guang really gave birth to a good daughter!'

"Brother, you have a good eye! Bole has recognized a good horse!"

"Sister Liu is so capable, but I don't have any ability to help brother..." Hua Baoyan looked lost. She has become a little withdrawn since Cao Jie took a concubine.

I was frightened by the "Flying Thunder" today and felt even more lost.

After personally checking the results of the explosion, Liu Hui Niang sighed: "The power has increased greatly, but compared with the thunder and fire that day, it is still far inferior!"

After saying this, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes: I was so tired last night that my tongue was almost tied, and I couldn't even empty your lungs.

Cao Jie said that he had no choice!
As a worker with very unsatisfactory high school grades, how could I, a worker like me, have ever studied the industrial preparation of nitroglycerin?

I really didn't hide it from you just for the sake of three links!

'I don't believe I can't empty your pocket!'

Liu Hui Niang comes from a scientific research background, so naturally she becomes more courageous when faced with setbacks and never gets discouraged.

As the saying goes, if you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle. She didn't believe that she couldn't empty the kidneys and brains of this pervert by any means possible.

She was determined to get the gunpowder formula and was willing to pay any price.

"It is indeed not as good as the thunder and fire that my brother set up that day."

Wu Yong didn't know the principle behind it, but he could tell whether it was powerful or not, so he comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be depressed. I don't think it's much weaker. If you throw it into the enemy's formation, no matter whether they are wing soldiers or regular soldiers, I guarantee they will collapse in one shot."

"It's different, it's different." Liu Hui Niang shook her head. She was getting more and more resentful because she couldn't get what she wanted. The little girl got angry and said, "The amount of gunpowder today is more than three times that day, and the power is much less. I think your brother didn't tell me the real gunpowder formula. He still treats me as an outsider! I've already become his concubine."

Wu Yong didn't dare to get involved. He smiled awkwardly and quickly retreated among his brothers.

As a wise man, he knew clearly that he could not reason with a woman, especially an angry woman.

Gongsun Sheng stood aside, pinching his beard, smiling but saying nothing. They were two completely different things.

But can I tell you? Of course not!

But I was also curious about what it was, so I had to find a way.

Everyone was talking about it, and they became even more excited when they heard that gunpowder could be mass-produced.

"I think my sister-in-law's abilities are at least enough to match five battalions!"

"Five battalions? What are you talking about, Lao Du? At least five armies."

The military structure of the Song Dynasty was composed from bottom to top as follows: squad, squad, large squad, captain, command, battalion, and army.

The highest permanent organizational unit is the army.

For example, the standard organization of the infantry is 105 people in one city, five cities form a command with a total of 550 people (including directly affiliated institutions), five commands form a battalion with a total of about people, and ten battalions form a wing.

In historical documents of the Song Dynasty, the terms "left wing" and "right wing" often appear.

"Xiang" is equivalent to the organization of a modern reinforced division or ordinary army, after all, it has 25,000 people.

Two compartments form an army (large army), and each army has its own number.

Among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the four most elite armies were the Pengri Army, the Tianwu Army, the Longwei Army and the Shenwei Army.

These four armies can be called the ace main force. According to the organization of the Song Dynasty army, each army has 4 people, and the four armies have a total of 4 officers and soldiers.

This is how the 800,000 imperial guards came about.

As for how many people were drawing a salary without doing anything, I think even the Grand Marshal Gao Qiu would not be able to figure it out.

After walking around in the smoke, Song Wan sighed again and again. He had worked diligently for two years to train the nearly 3,000 garrison-based infantry on Liangshan Mountain. Almost all of them were trained by him and Du Qian.

Seeing the sudden emergence of firearms today, I can't help but feel completely hopeless and feel that life has lost its meaning.

"Alas! With this divine weapon, what use are these sword and shield soldiers and spearmen?"

Suddenly, most of the leaders present looked lost.

I just feel that times have changed!

"Brother Song Wan, this is wrong!"

Seeing the old brothers fall from excitement to the bottom of the valley of loss, Cao Jie immediately said: "Don't underestimate the power of this firearm. In fact, it has a huge weakness and can only be used as an auxiliary means. If the enemy attacks, we still need the brothers and soldiers to contribute."

"Weakness?" Everyone pricked up their ears: "Brother, tell me about it."

"Firearms, firearms. Since they are fire, they are afraid of water. Black powder is useless in the rain."

At this time, Gongsun Sheng nodded and said, "Brother is right. It is true. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism, they all have the ability to call the wind and rain. Although firearms are powerful, as long as the enemy is prepared, they can be easily broken."

Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head and said, "Mr. Gongsun can also call the wind and rain. He can break the enemy's spells. If we use firearms to attack them, who can be our opponent? I think it will be effortless for us to break into Tokyo."

"Xiao Qi, as the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. Mr. Gongsun is only one person, but the court has countless practitioners who are pregnant with gods!" Wu Yong waved his goose feather fan and pointed at the gunpowder smoke and said, "Firearms are a surprise weapon and will surely achieve surprise. But Sun Tzu said: In any battle, the right way to win is to use the right way. Brothers, you still have to work hard and practice hard!"

"Oh!"

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and the disappointment they had just felt was swept away. Chao Gai immediately said, "Today's firearm experiment was successful. It's a great day, and we should hold a banquet to celebrate!"
