Chapter 120 Four corner nails and explosive pack

Of course, the main purpose of Xu Xingxia's large-scale four-corner nails was to prevent the Tartar infantry from siegeing the city. The Tartars' leather boots were definitely unable to stop the sharp four-corner nails. Tartars who wanted to attack the city must have to dismount and walk to get close to the city wall. Moreover, with the Tartars' bravery, the impact speed would definitely be very fast. Imagine what the consequences would be if they stepped on the four-corner nails at a speed similar to Liu Xiang.

What Xu Xingxia likes even more is that these four-corner nails are basically made of various scrap iron materials, among which rusty iron materials occupy the majority. Hehe, the rusty four-corner nails pierced into the foot of the Tartars... Xu Xingxia thought about it and felt a little scary. In the era without penicillin, it was enough for the Tartars to drink a pot. Even if you pull it out, so what? Stay tightly in the wound like rust. Want to attack Weizhen Fort? Think about how much you have to pay? Just come if you are not afraid of death!

"Okay, the meeting ends!"

Xu Xingxia immediately announced.

After the meeting, Xu Xingxia specially kept Liu Guangliang and explained the method of creating four-corner nails. These rough weapons can be clearly explained in just a few words. They do not require any quality or craftsmanship. They are simply homework that can be completed by craftsmen and apprentices. The key is that they need enough quantity, and they must basically sprinkle all the areas within five meters outside the fort wall. The places close to the fort gate must be sprinkled repeatedly.

"We must hurry up on gunpowder matters." Xu Xingxia reminded him carefully.

"I will make arrangements as soon as possible." Liu Guangliang nodded and said.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Guangliang said in a little puzzled manner: "Xia Zi, the fire guns in Weizhen Fort are basically not good. Five hundred kilograms of gunpowder are enough. What do you want so much gunpowder for?"

Xu Xingxia said: "Of course there are other uses."

Liu Guangliang said tentatively: "Colorful big spider mine?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said, "No. That thing is too difficult to make and is not easy to use."

When Liu Guangliang saw that Xu Xingxia was unwilling to explain, he stopped asking and hurriedly arranged people to go. In fact, it was not very difficult to dig saltpeter and sulfur. There are ready-made saltpeter and sulfur mines in Helan Mountain, with a very rich content. The mine pits and mine caves are also ready-made, and just send people to dig. The reason why I didn't do it in the past was mainly because I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I pay attention, the problem will be solved.

What does Xu Xingxia need so much gunpowder for? Of course, it is of great use. He needs to use large quantities of explosive packs to make explosive packs. Landmines, etc., to be used to accurately step on them. It is completely useless. Imagine that the Tartars climbed up from the ladder in a swarm, but after a dynamite pack was packed down, and a loud bang would be made. It would definitely be much more powerful than bows, muskets, tiger squat cannons, and Folang cannons. The key is that the local explosive packs have no technical content, so he, an otaku, would do it.

Xu Xingxia now has only two worries. The first is whether Liu Guangliang can get enough gunpowder and whether he can make enough explosive packs. The second is that the number of Tartars is too small. If the number of Tartars is too small, the power of the explosive packs cannot be displayed. Of course, he has a third worry, that is, the superiors completely do not exchange their military achievements. No matter how many Tartars they kill, they will have no economic benefits.

"What? Are there Tartars coming?"

"What? Are there many Tartars coming?"

"What? Our Weizhen Fort has been abandoned by our superiors?"

After the pavilion meeting of the Management Council ended, various rumors spread in Weizhen Fort. The reactions of the military households were indeed all kinds of people. People with wide-ranging relationships packed up without thinking, and the whole family went to Pinglu City to take shelter first. In particular, Lei Hongguo, the general bannerman, also left Weizhen Fort, which caused a lot of commotion. The military households he took away were as many as a dozen. Those who had not had very broad relationships sent away their children. The rest of them naturally stayed in Weizhen Fort obediently.

Later statistics show that after learning about the arrival of the Tartars, there were only 33 and 4 military households, about two or three hundred. Compared with the base of the hundreds, it was basically not worth mentioning. Obviously, the news of the arrival of the Tartars brought great shock to the military households, but it was not as big as the scale of total frightening them. The one with a relatively bad influence was mainly the typical Lei Hong Kingdom.

In order to eliminate the bad influence brought by Lei Hongguo, Xu Xingxia quickly appointed Gao Zhengcheng as the general bannerman to replace Lei Hongguo. Gao Zhengcheng was Gao Meng's father and also had a relatively high prestige in Weizhen Fort. The last time the votes were slightly smaller. The main reason was that he had a bad temper and fought with others when he was drunk, which led to some negative impacts. However, he was absolutely unambiguous in killing the Tartars.

Sure enough, after Gao Zhengcheng became the general banner, the morale of the military households in Weizhen Fort was boosted. Gao Zhengcheng carried a machete every day and walked on the streets of Weizhen Fort, and was about to fight with the Tartars. Of course, the Tartars did not have it, and his machete could only chop the air. However, his actions made the military households in Weizhen Fort feel the pace of war getting closer and closer. No matter what they did, they seemed to be on a clockwork.

Xu Xingxia, the White Army, the Council of Management, 500 stones of food, repairing the city walls... These series of information have made the military households in Weizhen Fort more confidence in fighting the Tartars. Through the previous battles, Xu Xingxia has initially established an invincible myth in the minds of the military households. They believe that this time, Xu Xingxia can still lead them to overcome the difficulties safely. There are optimistic military households, and even think that they will gain some benefits from this battle.

Due to the situation in Weizhenbao, it suddenly became nervous, so Xu Xingxia naturally could not send Dongzi to Weixue. She had to delay it for the time being. Fortunately, going to school has been a matter of many years and there is no shortage of these days. Fortunately, Zhu Hengzhi's teahouse is still open as usual. Dongzi, Niu Niu, Da Nan, and Xiao Nan go to listen to stories every day, which is interesting.

It seems that no one has ever been to Zhu Hengzhi's teahouse except Xu Xingxia. Of course, Zhang Qiuqing is not counted. However, many children appear in the teahouse. They all go to the free storytelling in the morning and afternoon. At these two times every day, Old Taoist Tang Chen pretended to start storytelling, looking hypocritical.

If you hear a story, the children will naturally be happy. In the minds of the military households in Weizhenbao, Zhu Hengzhi did not open a teahouse, but a place to tell stories to children. The gentle and beautiful girl Zhu Hengzhi naturally became the incarnation of the lotus girl in front of the Empress Guanyin. As for the old Taoist Tang Chen, she looks a bit like a Tianshi, and some people call her Tang Tianshi.

Xu Xingxia's father Xu Fuqing has also appeared in various places in Weizhen Fort these days with crutches to cheer up his son. As a father in the world, he has to support his son at any time. Xu Fuqing has devoted himself to this and has been dead. He has been to more places every day than Xu Xingxia. It must be known that he cannot walk freely on his legs and must rely on two crutches!

Xu Fuqing was happy with this kind of walking and didn't feel tired at all. Although he couldn't do anything specific and walking alone was quite difficult, he could still speak, cheer up other military households and encourage other military households to do things.

When other military households see Xu Fuqing appear, they will become nervous and their enthusiasm for doing things will increase a little. Others, as disabled people, work hard like this, are you a guy with good limbs, and dare to be lazy?

On this day, Xu Xingxia came to the southwest corner of Weizhen Fort. This is the most damaged fort wall and the area where the Tartars are most likely to launch an attack. The primary task of repairing the city wall is to block this gap. The craftsmen must remove the old red bricks and rebuild new red bricks. The middle between the red bricks and the red bricks is connected with lime. After the red bricks are completely built, the middle is compacted with loess. Such a city wall is still relatively solid.

The military households organized by Lin Hainiu are working hard here. To put it in a later generation, it is that time is tight and the tasks are heavy, and even the night has to work. However, the situation here is not very satisfying. How can I say it? The military households in Weizhenbao have not yet shown their enthusiasm for hard work. Some military households still have a bit of a muddle-by-step idea and work hard.

A tall and strong man is responsible for carrying bricks. As a result, he only holds a red brick in his hand and moves back and forth, as if he is not working, but walking in the garden. This makes Xu Xingxia feel very annoyed. Damn, the Tartars are about to come, and Weizhen Fort is in danger. Some people dare to work hard, which really makes Xu Xingxia angry. Do you really think I am a Bodhisattva?

"Lin Hainiu, I'm optimistic about you!" Xu Xingxia said angrily.

To be honest, Xu Xingxia, in his previous life, had a good temper and had a certain level of cultivation. He rarely became angry. However, now, under the imminent pressure of the Tartars, his mentality did show a little irritable sign. He found that there was actually a labourer on the construction site, and he couldn't help it.
