The next day, dark clouds and heavy rain were heavy.

The spring rain that had not appeared for a long time finally turned into a torrential rain, washing away the dust of the previous days. Washed away by this storm, the previous smell of smoke and gunpowder seems to have disappeared without a trace.

Of course, thanks to the torrential rain, the enemy's offensive finally stopped.

After all, in this torrential rain, the gunpowder was easily damp, and the ground was muddy, which was not convenient for infantry fighting, but it finally relieved the many rebels in the city, and prepared to take advantage of this time to take a good rest.

But Duan Ling did not continue to stay in the house, but ran to the place where the armory was.

"I'll tell you what you've developed, are you ready?"

Looking at Juan deadly, Duan Ling was a little nervous.

He also knew that it was absolutely impossible to destroy the fort if he only relied on the soldiers under his command, so he asked Juan early and asked him to rely on the rudimentary equipment here to make a weapon that was enough to destroy the fort.

Juan said: "It's been built, but I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve the performance you need!"

"Can't help it?" Duan Ling asked.

Juan was puzzled: "That's right. After all, I am short of materials here, and because the city is blocked, there is a shortage of many things, and I really can't get you what you want in a short time. ”

"No matter. Take me to see it first. Duan Ling commanded.

Juan immediately took Duan Ling and walked towards the cave next to him, where all the gunpowder and guns they had made were placed here to prevent the enemy from prying eyes.

In order to prevent moisture, a drainage ditch was dug in front of the cave, and there was also a water collection well next to it, and thatched mats were hung at the entrance of the cave, which completely removed moisture from the air and ensured that the gunpowder inside remained dry.

Stepping into it, Duan Ling immediately noticed three carriages in the distance.

Of course, this is not an ordinary carriage, because on top of the carriage, a wooden box is placed. The wooden box was about eight feet long, one foot thick and two feet wide, and the front and rear lids had all been opened, so that twelve bamboo tubes could be seen inside, and the front part of the bamboo tube was sealed, and only a line of fire was exposed from the back.

In this way, it is clearly the rocket artillery of later generations.

"This thing is too simple!"

Seeing this real thing, Duan Ling was a little disappointed.

As a member of the Red Phoenix Army, Duan Ling naturally knew a lot about the artillery currently equipped by the Red Phoenix Army.

The power of the Broken Cannon is amazing, and it is specially used to destroy the head of the city, but there is no lathe or forging machine for making the Broken Cannon here, so there is no need to think about it; the accuracy of the Broken God Crossbow is extraordinary, and the power is also quite good, but there are special requirements for materials and users, and it is naturally impossible to take it into account, and the only thing that can be used and pose a threat to the fort is the Tiger Squat Cannon.

But the technology here is still too backward, can only use the most old-fashioned soil casting method, not only the production speed is backward, even the quality is too different, even the power is not enough, even the weight is greatly overweight, want to carry a person to go, it is completely delusional.

Under persecution, Duan Ling had no choice but to use his brains to see if he could come up with other things, so he got such a simple rocket launcher.

Juan said helplessly: "No way, we have too few materials here, and if we can get these three things, we have already hollowed out the entire Handan City." ”

"Okay. After all, I still managed to get this thing, otherwise I wouldn't have attacked the battery. ”

Duan Ling also knew the current situation, so he had to comfort himself.

You must know that in his blueprint, the bamboo tube should be forged from pig iron, so that it can withstand the high temperature of gunpowder burning, and the wooden box should also be made of iron, so as to ensure that it will not be destroyed by enemy attacks during the march.

Wood and bamboo tubes are not valuable, and there are many abandoned houses in the city, so they can be demolished and used.

But this thing consumes a lot of gunpowder, so in order to be able to make these three rocket cars, Juan used more than half of the gunpowder in stock.

Thinking of this, Duan Ling asked again: "By the way, what is the range and accuracy of this thing?"

"Range? I'm sorry, I haven't had time to experiment with this yet. Moreover, there are only three of them that have just been built now, and it would be a pity if they were consumed like this?" Juan looked embarrassed.

The manufacture of this thing is an extremely confidential matter, and Juan knows about it except for Duan Ling.

And in order to avoid exposure, Juan only experiments in this cave, so he doesn't know how useful this thing can be.

"Don't know?"

Although Duan Ling was annoyed, he thought that this was also forced by the situation, so he had to give up the investigation: "If this is the case, then I have to try it on the battlefield." Thinking about the battle that followed, he began to get nervous again, and prayed silently: "I hope this thing can be useful when the time comes." ”

Juan was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it okay? In that case, do you want me to continue to improve?"

"Nope. Although it is raining now, the enemy may attack at any time and anywhere, and no matter how much improvement can it make, how much effect can it make? You first fetch straw mats, wrap these three carts tightly for me, and wait until there is no one in the middle of the night, and then send these things to my barracks, you know?" Duan Ling was worried about the battlefield, so he ordered Juan to send this thing to the barracks.

"In the middle of the night, doesn't the general want to be known?" Juan was slightly surprised.

From the beginning, Duan Ling had always asked him to keep it a secret, so Juan did it, but now that it was time for life and death, was it still necessary to do so?

Duan Ling said: "It's not that people don't know, it's just that I don't want to be known by some people!"

"Someone? Could it be General Zhou?" Juan was slightly surprised, but remembered the rumors that had spread in the city.

Duan Ling reproached, "Do you think it's Zhou Yu? Who said that?"

"This, in fact, no one else needs to say, everyone can see it. Juan was frightened and hurriedly whispered back, "But don't worry." I've always been very strict about this matter, and I will never let anyone know about it. ”

Regarding Duan Ling and Zhou Yu, everyone sees it, and there are naturally those like Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng who are worried and afraid to make up for it, but there are also those like Juan who sit back and ignore them, and of course, those who fan the flames.

As for what they were thinking, who knows?

"That's good. Remember, you must not say anything about this, you know?" Duan Ling's words were threatening, and he shouted directly.

Juan didn't dare to say more, and quickly shut his mouth.

According to Duan Ling's instructions, he wrapped all the three rocket cars tightly in thatch, so that no one else could see the slightest trace.

Duan Ling was relieved and returned to his residence again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the camp, he saw Zheng Qiao waiting at the door of his room.

"Zheng Qiao, what are you looking for me?"

With a mouth, Duan Ling looked at Zheng Qiao with some suspicion.

Zheng Qiao sensed the other party's rejection, and touched his nose with some embarrassment: "Of course." After all, I'll be with you in the future. After all, you alone are afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the defenders and destroy the opponent's batteries. ”

"That's just as well. ”

Duan Ling thought for a moment, and then asked jokingly: "But I don't think you came here today just for this matter! After all, you are not the kind of person who will visit others late at night!"

"Indeed, if I were a normal person, I might only come to you when I was training during the day. After all, at that time, you were also busy with military affairs, and it didn't give people a sense of abruptness. Zheng Qiao laughed a few times, and then expressed his worries: "But you also know that there are some things that cannot be said in public. ”

Knowing that the other party has a bad temper, he still directly pushed the other party's gun head, which is too worried.

"Is it about Zhou Yu again?" Duan Ling became irritable.

Today, one by one, they all began to talk to him about Zhou Yu, saying that he should not continue to make contradictions, which made him feel that his ears were calloused.

Although Zheng Qiao was stunned, he didn't expect Duan Ling to lose such a big temper, so he had to lower his voice and complain: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little worried." After all, it's not good for you to continue to make trouble like this. It's for you, it's for him!"

"I know!"

Duan Ling turned his head, looking like he didn't want to listen to Zheng Qiao's explanation.

Zheng Qiao became more and more worried, and said, "So I hope you can reconcile with him, at least you don't have to be as tense as before, okay?"

"Listen to what you say, it's like I'm doing everything wrong. Duan Ling's eyes erupted with fire, and he shouted directly.

Zheng Qiao felt a little frightened, and hurriedly reassured: "This, I didn't say that it was your fault. It's just that I think it's not very good for Zhou Yu's temper, and every time you go straight back, is this a thing? After all, the other party is now your top boss, if he really investigates it, I'm afraid you won't be happy. ”

"How dare he?"

Duan Ling's eyes widened, staring at Zheng Qiao.

Zheng Qiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Look, even if you are like this with me, can you bear it if you change to someone else?" Even if you are right, but with this attitude, can others be convinced?"

"After all, is it my fault that you still want to say anything?" Duan Ling refused: "If that's the case, you might as well save it." ”

Zheng Qiao saw that the other party was resolute, and he realized that he was just trying in vain, so he had to say goodbye: "If you really think so, then even if I say anything, I'm afraid you won't accept it." In that case, I'd better take my leave. With that, he bowed and left the place.

When Duan Ling saw the other party leaving, he didn't send him off, but instead looked proud: "Hmph! When the time comes, when I succeed, I will definitely impress you." When the time comes, will you continue to recognize that guy?"

He has always been arrogant, but he is not in the habit of being inferior to others.

Being made like this, Duan Ling's drowsiness disappeared, and seeing that the bright moon was already hanging on the branches, he calculated that the time was also when Juan transported the rocket car here, so he took a step forward and prepared to take a look at the situation.

Following his memory, Duan Ling came to the front of the barracks.

Although it was the middle of the night, the barracks was still brightly lit, and between the various military tents, there were soldiers patrolling to prevent anything from happening.

Now that the rain has subsided, the air still smells of fresh earth.

Smelling this smell, Duan Ling felt a little more relaxed, but then he thought about it: "As the so-called sunny after the rain, now that the rain has stopped, then it will be sunny in the next few days." When the time comes, it's time to go on the offensive in earnest. I just don't know if those rocket cars can play a role!"

For the sake of that thing, he also took a lot of effort to get it out, and naturally no one was allowed to destroy it.

With expectations, Duan Ling walked towards the gate of the barracks, wanting to greet his rocket car.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the camp, he heard a quarrel from the entrance of the camp.

"What are you in here? Can you take it apart and show me?"

"Tell General Zhang, this thing was personally requested by General Duan to be sent. Unless he came in person, we would never have been able to dismantle it. ”

"Hmph, you wrapped this thing so tightly, didn't you try to send explosives into the barracks under the guise of General Duan?"

“......”

"Is it Zhang Wu? That kid, haven't slept yet?" Duan Ling felt strange, and immediately walked up, and stopped Zhang Wuzheng with a team of men and horses at the entrance of the camp.

Juan looked anxious, but he still couldn't stop Zhang Wu from stepping forward and preparing to disassemble the straw mat wrapped in the rocket car.

Duan Ling suddenly became nervous and shouted, "What are you doing?"

The group was shocked, and when they saw that it was Duan Ling standing here, they all stood up straight, and even Zhang Wu was so frightened that he quickly put down his work and looked at Duan Ling with a frightened face.

"How did you come here when you weren't sleeping in the barracks late at night? And you're still noisy here, what do you look like?"

Duan Ling glanced at Zhang Wu with reproach, and directly started scolding.

Zhang Wu was naturally frightened, and hurriedly replied: "This, aren't I worried about the safety of the barracks? That's why I patrol late at night, in order to prevent someone from sneaking up." ”

"Did you catch someone?" Duan Ling asked.

Zhang Wu lowered his head in shame and replied, "This, not yet!"

"Since you don't have one, what are you doing here? Duan Ling scolded directly: "Don't let me go back yet, so as not to be embarrassed here." ”

Zhang Wu couldn't help but cry out, but he pointed directly at Juan and shouted, "But what about him? Although for tomorrow's attack, you need to prepare enough weapons." But he came late at night, and I was afraid that it was for another purpose. That's why I stepped forward and tried to stop them. ”

"I know, you better get back into the tent for me, don't keep looking for trouble. And when am I going to leave the patrol to you? When do you have time to train your own soldiers, don't give me all this stuff. Duan Ling felt even more irritable.

If Zhou Yu, Zheng Qiao and others are his classmates for many years after all, they can naturally accuse him of not, but Zhang Wu is just a partial general, but he also spoke against him, which made Duan Ling a little unacceptable.

"I see!"

Zhang Wu was helpless, so he had to lower his head and leave here with grievances.

Duan Ling was not interested in appeasing, so he directly asked Juan to push these three rocket carts into the barracks, and tomorrow, he planned to rely on this thing to show his might, which completely amazed Zhang Jue.
