After all, Li Wangyou is just a "pseudo-military fan". How could he really know how to fight?
As for Gao Shilian and the captain of the government soldiers, they also had no choice.
In the current situation, unless you make up your mind and take your life to fill it, you will not be able to attack this flying battalion anyway.
The two sides came to a stalemate like this, the army that crusaded against the Liaoren was besieged at the foot of Zhang Feiying's camp, but there was nothing they could do about the Liaoren on the top of the mountain.
After being trapped here for several days, the government soldiers tried various offensive methods such as night attack, fire attack, bow and arrow shooting, etc., but failed, and lost some manpower instead. He called together a group of soldiers again and began to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops.
It is impossible for their 2000-plus government soldiers to stay at the foot of the mountain all the time. Only the devil knows how long it will take to besiege the Liao people on the mountain.
In this regard, although Li Wangyou was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
He didn't bother to stay in Gao Shilian's big tent any longer, so he simply greeted Gao Shilian while listening to the discussion of the matter, and led Niu Wu out of the tent to get some air.
Looking up at the steep cliff of Zhang Feiying in front of him, Li Wangyou could only sigh.
Li Wangyou was very upset that he could not attack Zhang Fei's camp, capture the five leaders of the Liaoren tribe alive, and ask who was behind the scenes.What's more, these rebellious Liao people are hiding here. For Jiulong County, it is really a thorn in the throat. I don't know when it will be another disaster.
There is only one thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to be a thief.
If these bureaucrats cannot be dealt with, the future life of Jiulong County will be sad.
If Gao Shilian wanted to come, he could only send some more government soldiers to station in Jiulong County to prevent the Liao people from rebelling again.
Niu Wu was also very unwilling: "Lang Jun, why don't you let me take someone to touch it at night, wait until it's close, and then throw a thunderbolt to kill those bastards."
"No, the government soldiers have already tried the night attack, but it didn't work. Those Liao people were also prepared for it. When the night fell on the top of the mountain, they lit a bonfire for lighting. There are no trees on the mountain road to hide their whereabouts. How to touch it?" Gotta go up."
"Could it be just like this? Don't you think it's cheap for those bastards?" Niu Wu angrily pulled out the barrier knife, and chopped off the twig beside him to vent his anger.
Li Wangyou shrugged his shoulders, comforted Niu Wu, and continued to wander around the camp aimlessly, thinking about how to break the situation.
Unknowingly, he walked to the camp kitchen.
Next to the tent in the kitchen, the gang leader was busy preparing to eat, when he saw Li Wangyou, the nobleman, the leader of the gang quickly called everyone to greet him.
Li Wangyou waved his hand, indicating that he was just looking around casually, and told them not to worry about him, just do his own thing.
After the cooks pleaded guilty, they were busy with their own affairs.
When Li Wangyou was about to turn around and leave, he saw two cooks putting something into a big wooden bucket, so he couldn't help being a little curious, so he leaned over to take a look.
But he saw that the wooden barrel was covered with a layer of pebbles, and the cook at the side was constantly digging out the hot pebbles from the fire and throwing them into the wooden barrel.
Seeing Li Wangyou's eyes, the cook quickly explained with a smile that he was preparing to cook meat. This method of cooking meat with roasted cobblestones is very famous in Sichuan.
After the bottom of the barrel is covered with hot cobblestones, the side dishes and meat are poured on the stones, and then a barrel of bone broth is poured into the barrel, making a sound of "chi, chi", and the aroma immediately flows from the barrel. Out of it.
Li Wangyou nodded in satisfaction, it seems that today's lunch is really good.
He has also seen this method of cooking meat with cobblestones in later generations, and the taste is very distinctive.
After a few words of praise to the cooks, Li Wangyou turned and left, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the steaming big wooden barrel...
Immediately, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash across Li Wangyou's mind, making his thoughts suddenly clear.
"Wahhahaha, wonderful, really wonderful! Niu Wu, reward these brothers!" Li Wangyou raised his head and laughed, even Cheng Yaojin's laughter came out.
Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers looked at each other, not understanding what their husband meant.
The cooks were even more surprised, wondering why the nobles would give them rewards for no reason?
Li Wangyou ignored them, and strode directly towards Gao Shilian's big tent, leaving an inexplicable sentence in his mouth.
"Second Battalion Commander, where's your fucking Italian cannon? Pull it up for me!"
906 Heartless Cannon
During the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army had few artillery pieces at that time, and its weapons and equipment were at a disadvantage.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient firepower, the officers and soldiers invented a "crazy" weapon, the heartless cannon!
The launcher that uses gasoline barrels as barrels to fire explosives should be officially called the Flying Thunder Cannon.
In later movies, Li Wangyou has seen this extremely crude weapon appear many times.
Its structure and principle are also quite simple. It is an empty gasoline barrel, the bottom is filled with propellant, and then the explosive package bundled into a circle is stuffed in. After the propellant is ignited, the explosive package weighing ten kilograms can be thrown out. A distance of 200 meters.
No matter how thick the gasoline barrel is, the caliber of the unconscionable cannon will be as large.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the artillery with the largest caliber... Although its firing distance is not very far, the explosive power of a ten kilogram explosive package cannot be underestimated.
Wherever they pass, bunkers, people and horses will be blown away.
Many of the enemies who were killed by the explosion often couldn't find any wounds on their bodies, but they would bleed to death from seven holes, because they were shocked to death by the shock wave of the explosive package.
It is precisely because of this that this kind of "artillery" that can't be more earthy is called a heartless cannon.
This kind of homemade cannon played a huge role in the Huaihai Campaign and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Li Wangyou was in the cook's camp just now, when he saw the big wooden barrel and the steam constantly rising from the wooden barrel, the words "unconscionable cannon" popped out of his mind unconsciously.
This naturally made him suddenly enlightened, that's why he was so excited, and asked Niu Wu to reward those cooks.
The principle of unconscionable cannon is too simple, and now that he has black powder and explosives in his hands, he can also fiddle with it.
You don't even need anything resembling a petrol can to fire a dynamite pack.
The earliest flying thunder cannon was to dig a circular hole directly in the ground, stuff the explosive package and propellant into the hole, and launch it.
Just doing this is too inefficient, and the excavated soil cylinder can only be used once.
After that, it was continued to be improved by the officers and soldiers, using discarded gasoline barrels as the "barrel".
But Li Wangyou didn't need to think about these at all, he just had to throw the explosive package to the top of the mountain a hundred meters away, even if he asked the soldiers to dig the soil barrel, it would be fine.
When Gao Shilian heard that Li Wangyou had a way to break through Zhang Feiying, he was naturally overjoyed.But he was also worried that Li Wangyou was just talking big, so he simply spoke out.
"Ziyou, there is no joke in the army! Don't talk nonsense, otherwise, even if His Majesty is here, I will punish you for lying about military information."
Li Wangyou couldn't see what the old man was thinking, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes silently: "Gao Gong, is it worth my joking with you about this kind of thing? Since I said yes, I'm sure. Don't rush to withdraw the army, Gao Gong. And give me a day, after I test it, I will demonstrate it to Gao Gong and he will know."
Gao Shilian naturally agreed to this, and agreed not to mention the issue of withdrawing troops for the time being.
After Gao Shilian was slowed down, Li Wangyou led Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers, and took a few explosive packs, secretly ran to a secluded place outside the camp, preparing to conduct the firing test of the soil-tube heartless cannon.
Now there are only more than 20 explosive packs, and Li Wangyou felt that it was too much time to go back to Jiulong County to transport gunpowder here.
