Li Laoer's mountain castle, which took more than 100 people and took six years to build, is a large castle. Unfortunately, the population in the village is too small. In addition to the twelve cavalry that came out to rob the Fan family caravan this time, there are six blacksmiths, fifty insurgent thieves and fifty refugees who escaped from the frontier who were taken in by Li Laoer.

In addition to Li Laoer himself, there were only 118 people in the parody. This time the attack on the Fan family caravan also lost one brother, leaving only 117 people.

To guard such a castle, at least one hundred and fifty people are required, and a large number of firearms are needed, especially firearms. Only with firearms can the shooting holes of the hollow castle work.

Li Laoer started to build this copycat six years ago, but Li Laoer didn't spend much money. The raw materials were either wood cut by his brothers or bricks made by himself. Moreover, Li Laoer did not buy glutinous rice, but just bought lime, gypsum and coal powder to make it into a special material. After drying, it was much harder than glutinous rice mud.

Back in the village, six blacksmiths were striking irons in the blacksmith shop in the village, creating cold weapons such as machetes and gunheads.

Li Lao Er knows how to build firearms himself. By chance, he would go to the blacksmith shop to build a bird gun or a three-eyed gun, but unfortunately there is no raw material like pig iron. In the current copycat, in addition to the one rifled convex gun used by Li Lao Er himself, there are two bird guns, three-eyed guns and a turtledove-footed gun.

"If Jiannu attacked him, the igniter on hand would be the only one who could not resist Jiannu. We have to find a way to get the igniter." Li Laoer pointed to the blacksmith shop and said.

If the raw materials are enough, Li Laoer wished he could cast all the cannons.

Minnie rifle? Don’t even think about it. Before Li Lao Er came to this era, he had read many time travel novels. Many protagonists built Minnie rifles as soon as they came up. This is simply impossible. Minnie rifles have extremely high requirements for accuracy. First of all, they need to ensure that the caliber error of each rifle will not be too large. Secondly, the mold for casting bullets. The real high technology is in the mold for casting bullets. Even if all this is solved, there is also the problem of bullets hanging lead. The bullets of Minnie rifles can only be made of soft metal, such as lead, and the friction between lead and rifle is used, and it is easy to hang lead. To solve this problem, the materials of the gun barrel and bullets need to be improved, or the copper-covered bullets are directly made. With that technology, you can directly make breech guns. Why build Minnie rifles?

The only fuse rifle rifled rifle on hand is a fine product made in small quantities and cannot be produced in large quantities. Moreover, this rifle rifle is not a Minnie gun, but an ordinary rifle rifle with extremely slow loading speed and can only perform sniper missions and cannot be equipped in large quantities.

When Li Hong returned to the village, he brought back the rifle rifle and Li Laoer's horse spear.

"It would be great when will it be possible to use this musket to take Yue Tuo's head?" Li Laoer stroked the musket and said in his heart.

"Yue Tuo? If you have this opportunity, it is better to take Huang Taiji's head directly!" Li Hong said with a smile.

"Huang Taiji?" Li Laoer could not imagine that the effective range of this fuse rifle rifled rifle was only about 200 steps. The question was whether it could be close to Huang Taiji within 200 steps? If there was a chance, of course, killing Huang Taiji with one shot was the best choice. Huang Taiji's five invasions secretly helped the bandits, giving the almost wiped bandits a chance to breathe. He also plundered a large number of people to go out of seclusion, strengthening the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty, and eventually dragging down the Ming Dynasty.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have the chance to shoot Huang Taiji at all, and Li Laoer would not have this unrealistic dream.

"Eat dinner first. We will go to Da'ankou tomorrow morning to take a look and warn the officers and soldiers to pay attention to the attack of Jiannu." Li Laoer greeted Li Hong.

A wild sheep was lit in the village, and a wild sheep was roasted on the fire. Li Lao Er personally turned the wooden pole of the wild sheep and kept turning. The air was filled with the fragrance of roasted lamb. The wild sheep was roasted golden and charred. Li Lao Er carefully sprinkled a little salt on the sheep and applied oil with a brush. After a while, a roasted lamb with a burnt outside and tender inside was finished.

This wild sheep was hunted by a brother in the village. There were many wild sheep on the grassland at that time, and you could hunt any one of them.

Li Laoer picked up the wine gourd and drank it with his brothers. These wines were the best Fenjiu and were also the spoils obtained from robbing the Fan family caravan. Most of the wine was taken away by the Mongols, and Li Laoer left a little.

"It's a pity that there are no chili peppers. If there is chili powder, sprinkle them on and the mutton will be even more delicious." Li Laoer said in his heart. The era of chili peppers should have been introduced to the East, but large-scale planting has not yet begun. In Li Laoer's impression, the peppers in this era are still an ornamental plant, and are planted by rich people as flowers.

Li Hong untied the tobacco pipe, took out the tobacco, put it into the dry tobacco pipe, and took a sip.

"Brother, give me a mouthful." Li Laoer said.

Li Hong handed the pipe and Li Lao Er took a deep breath. A familiar smell in his previous life spread out. However, the tobacco leaves from that year were all made from drying, and the taste was obviously much worse than that.

If you want to make money, there are actually many ways to make money. Making flue-cured tobacco, cigarettes, and soaps are all ways to make money. However, Li Laoer is currently a horse thief outside the border. If you want to make these things, you can't even get the raw materials. Even if you make them, you will not have any sales.

First of all, the government must invite itself to have the opportunity to make achievements and make money.

However, to be recruited, more Jiannu heads must be exchanged for recruitment opportunities.

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the castle, Li Laoer woke up from his sleep.

"Let's go, let's go to Da'ankou together." Li Laoer asked Li Hong to go to Da'ankou with him to report the enemy situation.

Li Laoer was wearing white armor, rode his white Hequ horse, and slowly rode his horse with a horse spear. Li Hong rode a maroon war horse, wearing red armor, carrying a bow and arrow, carrying a tiger-toothed knife, and carrying a cavalry in his hand. They walked forward and backward to Da'ankou, which was only twenty miles away.

Along the way, Li Laoer was thinking about something: How did the Tartars break into Da'ankou? Before, Li Laoer had passed by Da'ankou many times. It was a steep pass, not a dilapidated and simple garrison. Why could Jiannu easily break into Da'ankou?

Li Laoer, who was an engineer in later generations, was best at building fortifications and blasting fortifications and digging various tunnels. With his experience, you can see at a glance that it should be difficult to conquer the passes like Da'ankou, which are not siege weapons, to attack with the Later Jin Jurchen army without siege weapons.
