"This thing is made according to your idea, with a steel plate on the back. There are three hundred small steel balls on the front, and a powder is sandwiched in the middle. The outermost is a wooden board to ensure that the steel balls will sputter in one direction. Good people, if you are hit by something

If you spray it, your legs will be shot into sieves. It feels sinful just thinking about it!" Mr. Yu handed Li Xiao an iron box. One side of the iron box was a steel plate, and the other side was a thin wooden board.

A thin thread is the trigger device of this thing. Li Xiao tugged on it and it turned out to be a fishing line. Changxing Island has a special fishing team to ensure food for the people on the island. This kind of fishing line is very common, and the cost is so cheap that it can be ignored

To the point of not counting.

This thing is a good thing. It used to be called an anti-infantry mine. Its power does not lie in killing the enemy, but in making the enemy's legs injured and unable to move. An injured soldier needs far more than a soldier who died in battle.

Take care. This kind of anti-infantry landmine is relatively anti-human, because it can not only cause great pain to the soldiers who are hit. It is also basically impossible to cure, which means that the injured soldiers can only be permanently disabled at best.

"A philosopher once said that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. This thing has less explosives than landmines, but more fragments than mines. The most important thing is not to kill anyone. It should be regarded as a virtue!" Li Xiao casually handed it over!

I put the things down and picked up a strange thing with a barrel one meter long and a revolver at the end.

This is the rifle that Mr. Yu and the others have tinkered with. Ever since Li Xiao tinkered with the incredible shooting ability of the revolver, the two old guys have been preparing to run to death on this road.

Li Xiao has no choice. The manufacturing accuracy of the magazine has always been a problem. In order to ensure continuous firing without jamming and other unexpected situations, this thing can fire six rounds of bullets continuously, with a barrel of one meter long.

It can also ensure that the bullet is safely sent two hundred meters away.

The only good thing is that aiming is more inconvenient.

In order to ensure the continuity of firepower, Li Xiao had to sacrifice accuracy. But fortunately, Yu Nao Inatomi provided another design. This design can only fire one bullet per load. The structure is similar to the double barrel of later generations.

A shotgun has no bolt and only a firing pin. After shooting, you need to stand the barrel up and pour out the shells.

The advantage of this design is that it is convenient for aiming. The one and a half meter long barrel can ensure amazing shooting accuracy within two hundred meters.

Today, Mr. Yu asked Li Xiao to judge which design is better.

"Both types of guns are needed. An infantry squad has six long-barreled revolvers and two single-shot rifles. This can take into account burst fire from 200 meters away and maintain a certain firepower density. In fact, at a distance of about fifty meters,

Firepower density is far more important than accuracy. Our army has a large number of mortars. Generally, mortars will create a wall of fire four hundred meters away. The enemy forces that can truly threaten the infantry are actually very limited!

Two single-barreled guns per squad can make up for the blind spot of firepower within 200 meters. As for within 100 meters, these revolvers are relied on. With three layers of fire net, even if there are a few scattered enemies

Charging up would not harm the overall situation. If that is not possible, the infantry squad leader and deputy squad leader should each be equipped with a revolver. Within ten or twenty meters, the enemy will not be afraid even if a few people charge at him.

Anyway, no matter what, this thing has a much faster rate of fire than a front-loaded rifle." Li Xiao really wanted to make the Maxim at once, but reality really doesn't allow it. In fact, even if the magazine is built now

In the future, it will be difficult to solve the problems of jamming and shell ejection caused by processing accuracy problems.

"This method is okay. Since you said it, then we will produce it according to your requirements. To produce so many firearms at once, the production of other weapons will have to stop. Especially copper tube artillery. Casting that thing is too labor-intensive.

."

Li Xiao raised his hands in agreement with Yu Lao's statement. In fact, that thing not only wastes power but also costs money.

"No matter what the gun type is, the bullet must be universal. Moreover, the maximum range of the bullet must be able to shoot to three hundred meters. The charge does not need to be too large, which can reduce the weight of the bullet. In addition, the size of the bullet can also be reduced

, allowing soldiers to carry more."

"This is no problem, not only the bullets. Except for the barrels, most of the parts of these guns are actually interchangeable. Especially the revolvers!" On this point, Mr. Yu can guarantee. He is a staunch supporter of the revolvers. On the contrary,

Yunao Inatomi really likes the single-shot design. He feels that shooting accuracy is a higher issue than firepower density.

When he came back from the old fisherman's place, he saw Xiaoyu pouting. He patted Xiaoyu's head, and Li Xiao smiled bitterly. He was going to fight again, and then he would go back to Shandong. I guess he might not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year.

Look at Xiaoyu.

Li Xiao didn't have the courage to take Xiaoyu away. After all, assassinations were rampant these days, so it would be easier for Li Xiao to handle it himself. If the other party attacked Xiaoyu, Li Xiao would feel numb just thinking about it.

It is better to stay on Changxing Island. After all, a regiment from Ao Canghai is stationed here all year round. The residential area is protected by a special agent company, and this place has a closed island environment. It is difficult for outsiders to sneak in!

No matter how reluctant Xiaoyu was, Li Xiao still left Changxing Island in the early morning.

The waves kept beating against the warship, and Li Xiao had already notified Huang Taiji. The two sides had set the battlefield at Tashan and Dahushan. Since they were going to fight, they should set up a good fight here and put on a show for the court.

Look at the big guys here, it’s not that far from Jinzhou anyway, and it’s convenient for transporting food and the like. The most important thing is that it’s close to the coastline. Li Xiao can board a ship back to Shandong at any time!

Li Xiao was the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Youjian remained calm and did not move from this official position.

The offensive force consisted of Yuan Chonghuan's 1st and 2nd regiments, and two cavalry regiments of Zu Dashou's 2nd Cavalry Division, responsible for the support on the left and right wings. They were followed by artillery regiments, and they did not bring the big-kill rocket launchers. They only brought mortars to supplement the attack.

Just to show off, Li Xiao doesn't really plan to attack Liaoyang and Shenyang anyway. A dozen attacks at Tashan and Dahushan, mortars will be enough. What's more, if the matter is really urgent, there are still ships on the sea.

Cannons can provide fire support!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Seeing the truckloads of food and supplies being shipped, Yang Sichang gritted his teeth with hatred. Li Xiao's rudeness to him in Shanhaiguan, coupled with the lion's open mouth this time, was completely a pig to the imperial court. But the emperor even approved Li Xiao

For this reason, the funding for the Ministry of War has been cut again. Everyone has to tighten their belts to live!

"Eunuch Wang, what do you mean...! Wanzai thinks too much of Li Xiao and can't just give him whatever conditions he asks for." I couldn't say this to anyone else, I could only say it to the emperor's confidant Wang Tiqian.

"Haha! Sir, why are you so confused? Look at our Ming Dynasty. There is Gao Yingxiang and his gang in Guanzhong making trouble. There are chieftains from various tribes making trouble in the southwest. What about the southeast? Pirates from all walks of life beat people to their knees, and from time to time they even Come ashore and grab a handful. The one that makes Banzai scratch his head the most is Liaodong!

It has been several years since the late Emperor's death in Liaodong. Although there were victories and defeats, the Tatars' military strength was still strong. Looking at the Ming army, except for Li Xiao's troops, all other troops were invincible. The threat of the Tatars It's so big that among these forces, only the Tatars' Bingfeng is closest to the capital.

As long as Li Xiao destroys the Tatars, Long Live can feel relieved about Liaodong. At that time, let Li Xiao go to the northwest to put down Gao Yingxiang's rebellion. Or he can go to the southwest to suppress the restless chieftains."

"Will Li Xiao be willing to go?" Yang Sichang felt that with Li Xiao's arrogance, Wang Tigan's words were more like talking in a dream.

"Haha! If he doesn't go, he will be resisting the decree. Heaven's justice is on Long Live's side. Li Xiao's popularity will be destroyed by Long Live in a short time. No matter how good Li Xiao is, it will be in vain if he loses the morale of the army and the people.

Furthermore, most of Li Xiao's soldiers were villagers from Shandong and Hebei. Li Xiao raised them with high profits, and it took several years to reach today's scale. These people were soldiers in Liaodong, but their families were still in the Ming Dynasty. 1. Although Li Xiao was the governor of Shandong, he could not lead the officials of Shandong Province to rebel. Soldiers cared about their families, and there were a few who were sincerely willing to follow Li Xiao in rebellion.

This means that when you ask, Mr. Yang, I will have a few more words with you. If someone else asks, I will pretend to be deaf and not hear. Therefore, you must not deduct the military rations and military pay, and pay them in full. Do not let Li Xiao Xiao will find any excuse to retreat, as long as he can eliminate the Tatars and wipe out the barbarians in the northeast of the empire. Even if he wants more, Banzai will pinch his nose and admit it."

Wang Tiqian was ordered by Zhu Youjian, and he was afraid that Yang Sichang would deduct Li Xiao's expenses privately, so he assigned Wang Tiqian to keep an eye on it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang really wanted to do this. If Wang Chengen hadn't rushed here, how much money might have been misappropriated layer by layer.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me!" Yang Sichang bowed his hands deeply to the king's body.

It wasn't Wang Tigan who reminded Yang Sichang, but he still didn't understand. Now he finally understands. It turns out that the emperor is playing a big game of chess. The most important thing in this move is that Li Xiao will destroy the Jurchen Tatars in Liaodong and eliminate the threat to the northeast of the capital. When Li Xiao When Xiao is victorious, he will be sent to Guanzhong.

After fighting one battle after another, Li Xiao's family fortune was emptied. For a while, even if he raised his fists and held money, no one helped him fight. Yang Sichang firmly believed that the best way is to betray relatives and separate. Li Xiao's final fate.
