Soon someone came over to give them a few explanations, and the soldiers from Beicheng were the first to arrive at the gate of the mansion: "Your Majesty, An Xi is not an archer, they are all carrying bows and arrows." ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "What kind of trick is Hu Guozhu using?" Could it be that he ran out just to scare us? ”

Then he could not laugh, for the soldier continued, "The men took out handfuls of dry wood from behind their backs, lit them, and smoke came out. ”

Everyone knew that the troops defending the city had an innate advantage, firstly, they were able to suppress the enemy who climbed up with their heights, and secondly, the artillery and bows at the head of the city were more likely to hit the enemy than the artillery and bows below.

The archers are better to say, 200 meters of smoke is no problem, after all, you have to climb the city wall, as long as you appear in sight, you can shoot. But the artillery was helpless, and after the thick smoke was covered, the gunners were like blind men, and there was no way to aim at all.

Yang Youcai was the first to react: "They made this kind of smoke, won't they choke their own people to death?" ”

"General Qiyu, their faces are covered with wet cloths, and they don't seem to be affected much."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded, this Hu Guozhu is a smart person, he actually came up with this way to crack the artillery, the artillery can't be aimed, their army doesn't have to disperse and move slowly, and directly gather together to rush down the city, not only can improve the speed, but also the large-scale army formation is forced to the city, but there is a headache for the defenders at the head of the city.

Chen Chengan didn't care: "If there is no artillery, there will be no artillery, we will lose our sight from a distance, they will still be smoked and burned, and if we are not careful, we are afraid that they will be dizzy, although this idea is useful, but it is not clever." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded and looked at his sand table: "This hand-made thing is always the truth that no eyes can see, and there is no wind in the past two days, and I am afraid that this smoke will be exhausted for a while and a half." ”

Qu Songtin also had a fly-like expression in the city at this time, in terms of artillery, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty in the world can be ranked at the first-class level, but he didn't expect that in just one morning, Hu Guozhu discovered the advantages of the Ming Dynasty and immediately came up with a solution.

This artillery is powerful, but afraid of rainy days, two days ago just a heavy rain, recently the sky is very good, no wind and no rain, who knows that Hu Guozhu found another way, actually used people to disguise themselves as archers to the front, in the case of unpreparedness with smoke to cover the eyes of the Ming army, directly let the Ming lose the weapon of long-range strike, I have to say that it is very clever.

However, as a general of the first army, the most taboo mood is fluctuated by changes in the battlefield situation, once this situation occurs, it is easy to make a wrong decision because of being carried away, and the future of the army under his command will be ruined.

Qu Songtin took two deep breaths and gave an order: "Inform all the artillery crews in the city not to fire for the time being, and prepare to listen to the order." In addition, let the people under the city prepare water, soak the broken steps and cover their mouths and noses, the smoke will soon spread to the city, don't let people smoke the city gates, it will be a big shame. ”

Soon the people under the city sent a strip of wet cloth, and the soldiers at the head of the city covered their mouths and noses and continued to fight with the soldiers who besieged the city.

Today's World War I was a battle between the two sides of each other, Hu Guozhu found that the Ming army was not as easy to deal with as imagined, and Qu Songjin also found that Hu Guozhu was more scheming and difficult to deal with than in the intelligence, and they began to pay attention to the opponent.

Cheng Xiaolian in the house kept staring at the sand table: "Hu Guozhu used thousands of people to burn wet firewood, and made thick smoke to cover our vision, how should we deal with him?" ”

Yang Youcai took a bowl of noodles and laughed: "If you want me to say that we will learn from Zhuge Liang's method of setting up the Seven Star Terrace, as long as we borrow an east wind, we can make his trick self-defeating." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Do you have any serious ideas?" ”

"The serious idea is that Your Majesty, you should hurry up and eat, and the noodles will stick together in a while."

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "The noodles will be eaten later, I still don't believe that a thick smoke can seal our hands and feet." ”

Chen Chengan also frowned: "I looked through the military books and didn't find how to break through the smoke array, the most talked about is with the help of the wind, but this wind is not something that can be asked for." ”

Yang Youcai waved his hand: "Hey, I asked the Si Tian supervisor of the capital, and they said that there will be no wind and rain in the next ten years, that is to say, we can't borrow the east wind in the past few days, but it's not a big deal, I don't believe that without artillery, Hu Guozhu can still become a fine." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Without artillery, we will lose a sharp weapon, which will be a very big blow to our morale, but the morale of the army on the opposite side will be boosted because of this, and Hu Guozhu can take advantage of it again and again." ”

At this time, a brocade guard behind Yang Youcai spoke: "The minister has something to say." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Our Jinyi guards are equipped with telescopes, and I think that what cannot be seen with the naked eye may be able to be seen with the help of telescopes, so it is better to equip the gunners with telescopes."

Yang Youcai snorted: "Bullshit idea, this artilleryman aims by his fingers to estimate the distance, how to estimate the distance with a telescope." ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted Yang Youcai: "You know that eating noodles is not as good as your subordinates!" ”

Others don't know, but Cheng Xiaolian knows that there is a kind of rifle called a sniper rifle in later generations, which is engraved on the mirror surface, and the distance measurement is generally converted into the approximate distance by the shoulder width or height of the person on the scope, and different multiples will be different.

Cheng Xiaolian couldn't get this sniper rifle, but it was a very simple thing to add a simple scale to the lens called a telescope to identify the distance. It may not be possible to save the fire from far away now, but it will be useful one day.

"Call the people from Nanzhen Fusi who are with the army, I have a task to call them." As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Youcai: "You will promote your subordinates more in the future, you will be much smarter than you." ”

Chen Chengan also laughed: "We are also fans of the authorities, we only think about how to solve the problem of thick smoke, but we haven't thought about penetrating the smoke directly with the help of tools, and I am afraid that Hu Guozhu will be so angry that he will vomit blood." ”

Not the process of filial piety to mention this process is not easy to do, the cross line engraved on the mirror is shallow and not clear, heavy and will destroy the visual effect of the mirror, but also thanks to the army with the craftsman of Nanzhen Fusi, with the magic of the skill to complete his requirements, overnight rushed to produce three finished products.
