I'm a big dick

Chapter 288 Apply what you have learned, Fan Jian Wencheng

"This——" Zhang Yitai blinked, and said with some disbelief: "It's the same principle as that water cup covered with paper?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded of course, and said, "Yes, the principle is the same. Somebody wants to build a water spray truck, which can spray the water in the water tank - ten steps away, to fight fires."

The originator of Chinese fire trucks should have appeared in the Qing Dynasty. It also used the principle of pumping and pressurizing water to spray water more than ten meters by manpower to put out fires.

Zhu Youxiao didn't just think about putting out the fire, he also wanted to burn Jiannu with fire oil!
This is the flamethrower of the Daming brand, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, fire dragons sweep over, turning Jiannu into fire figures jumping around, screaming, and emitting the smell of barbecue, isn't it? Very visually stunning?
Wang Jizhong walked around the thing several times, looked left and right but couldn't figure out the reason.

Don't care whether it looks simple or not, and don't care how useful it can be, it's the ability to make it.To put it bluntly, this thing is indeed useful, better than throwing a bucket into a well to fetch water.

"Admiration, admiration." Wang Jizhong bowed his hands to Zhu Youxiao, "Brother Shen is far better than us if he can apply what he has learned."

"Small gadgets, maybe useful, but I dare not accept Brother Wang's false praise." Zhu Youxiao was humble, and turned to Chen Zilong and said: "Brother Chen, stop and rest!"

Although Chen Zilong was a scholar, he had the strength of his shoulders. After so many pressures, the bucket was almost full, and he was neither panting nor sweating.

With a hearty laugh, Chen Zilong stopped exercising, and said with a smile: "This thing is very interesting. Only Brother Shen is so smart, he can study and understand the principle. And until now, I haven't figured it out yet!"

Of course you can't figure it out, Magdeburg hasn't thought of the hemispheric experiment yet, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I didn't figure it out by myself. If you are interested, you can study in Xinxue with peace of mind, and you can also get in touch with more advanced science."

Xia Yunyi looked at Zhu Youxiao, and asked with some surprise: "Science? How does Brother Shen define those principles?"

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Youxiao nodded vigorously, and said, "I believe that science promotes social development and is also an important condition for a strong country."

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to ask, "It's cold outside, let's talk inside!"

Chen Zilong and others nodded in agreement, and re-entered the hall.

Now their understanding of Zhu Youxiao has gone a step further. Although there are various speculations about his identity, every time there are refreshing remarks, they become more and more attractive to them.

Boom, boom, boom... The continuous explosions kicked up dust, snow, mud, and messy things that rose into the air amidst the black smoke.

After two days, Jiannu launched an attack on Ningyuan City again.

If you dare to attack again, you must rely on something.Xiong Tingbi stood on the city, watching the enemy with binoculars, observing their new tricks and tactics.

Baoyi pushed the cart in front, which has not changed.Then came the archers, which seems to be the same.Except for changing the direction of attack to the south of the city, nothing seems to have changed.

The cart was pushed to the front of the trench, but the coat was not filled.After a long while, a canopy of rockets flew into the sky, like a group of fire crows in the air, and rushed towards the pile formation.

Oh? !Xiong Tingbi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up.This can be regarded as a new tactic after learning the lesson, using fire to burn the pile array.

The rockets fell into the piles, some plunged into the snow and died out quickly; some hit the piles and burned slowly.As the rockets continued to be launched, the fire in the pile array became more and more intense.

Not bad, although it was a bit slower, it reduced the casualties of being shot by muskets and bombarded by thunder in front of the piles.

Xiong Tingbi put down the binoculars, thought for a while, but did not issue any orders.If the soldiers in the trench are ordered to put out the fire, they will inevitably be killed by bows and arrows, which is what Jiannu hopes.

So what if the pile array burned down?Just for that purpose, with rebuilt carts, cart wraps, and archers in the back?

Except for the burning piles, the rest of the scene seems to be a repeat of the previous attack.

The bombardment vehicles and artillery of the Ming army were bombarding, destroying the vehicles and killing the enemies behind them.But Xiong Tingbi thinks that Jiannu should have another move.

Xiong Tingbi thought for a while, then turned his head and told the messenger: "Tell Jin Guofeng to prepare to retreat to the two wings; then send an order to Zu Dashou and Huang Degong, and they must be ready to respond when the southern defenders retreat."

Watching the messengers fly away, Xiong Tingbi sent another order to send troops to the city to strengthen the defense of the city.After making these preparations, Xiong Tingbi felt relieved.

The defense facilities of Ningyuan City are so complete, even if Jiannu were put under the city, how could they break through the city? It was obviously impossible.

Of course, Jiannu who approached the city could shoot with bows and arrows.But what advantage can they take when they shoot against the condescending musketeers in the city?
Four or five miles away from the frontline battlefield, Nurhachi listened to Tan Ma's constant round-trip reports, with no expression on his face.

Fan Wencheng next to him was a little nervous, listening to the battle ahead with his ears up.He came up with the idea, and whether it succeeds or fails, of course it has a great influence on him.

When it comes to Fan Wencheng, it will completely collapse the lineage theory of "I am a hero and my son is a hero".Because, he turned out to be the seventeenth grandson of Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Just like Qin Hui's grandson, Qin Ju, fought bravely against the gold in Qizhou, and after the city was broken, his family went to the national calamity together.Grandpa and grandson are not the same people, and it is not uncommon for the descendants of more than ten generations to be quite different from their ancestors.

Fan Wencheng, on the other hand, was neither forced nor surrendered, but after Jiannu captured Fushun, he and his elder brother Fan Wencai took the initiative to seek refuge. He can be called a hardcore traitor through and through.

Although the old slave once knew that Fan Wencheng was a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, he once said to Zhu Baylor: "This is a famous minister, and I will meet him kindly." But this is also to buy people's hearts and show his love and generosity.

From voluntarily seeking refuge to going out with the old slaves during the Battle of Guangning, Fan Wencheng was not only not reused, but was discriminated against and humiliated by the senior officials of the Houjin Dynasty.

Guangning was defeated, Fan Wencheng faced Jiancheng, and Houjin's weapons and equipment were backward, and there was no good way.

But he began to study the art of siege, and even though they were all old things in historical documents, he still got a lot of inspiration.After the failure of attacking Ningyuan for the first time, he offered advice and suggestions, hoping to be reused and promoted.

Listening to Tanqi's continuous reports, the tactic of burning the wooden pile array was successful for the first time, but the Ming army did not forcefully stop it, and Fan Wencheng quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Nurhachi lowered his eyes, and the cold wind blew the red tassels on his helmet, which seemed to express his uneasy mood.
