In the Tianzheng earthquake in the 13th year of history (1586), Guiyun mountain was affected by the earthquake and landslides occurred in the West.
Guiyun city collapsed, and more than 400 people of neidao clan, including the family leader neidao clan, died in the landslide.
This is also the only famous Yi nationality in the history of the Warring States period.
However, before the earthquake, Guiyun City, as the home of neidao, was built by neidao Weishi, the owner of neidao family in kuanzheng years. It has been a strong city with a hundred years of construction, and there has never been a record of being conquered.
It is said that in history, in the seventh year of Yonglu, the great general of Wutian family, Changjing of Shanxian County, came out to fly and planned to subdue the neidao family.
But at that time, after receiving the messengers of the Takeda family, neidao said, "if you can attack, attack and see!"
Then he ordered Wu Tian family envoys, accompanied by neidao family officials, to circle the city as a reference for the siege.
As a result, after seeing the terrain of Guiyun City, the Wutian family envoy withdrew bitterly.
In the fourth year of Tianzheng, Shangshan Qianxin also sent salt house Qiuzhen to persuade neidao family to surrender, but neidao Li did the same thing as before.
Yanwu Qiuzhen, accompanied by family officials on the inner Island, finally went away with shame after watching Guiyun city.
After Takeda Shangshan retreated, the neidao family returned to Yuncheng and boasted that it was the two strong powers of the Warring States period, and Takeda Shangshan dared not attack the city.
From this, we can imagine how difficult it is to attack Guiyun city.
Now, Li Xiao and BENDUO Zhengxin have a full understanding of this flying city.
Otherwise, bendo Zhengxin would not say that Li Xiao could not capture the city even if he pressed all the army.
Among the three rich families in Feixiang country, the elder sister Xiaodao family started with the power of the elder sister Xiaodao lianglai. They plotted and did everything they needed. Finally, they stole the famous deeds of the elder sister Xiaodao and ordered the whole Feixiang as the Secretary of Feixiang country.
Among the top three, the elder sister Xiaodao family is the most powerful and has the great righteousness of fame.
Although the jiangma family is not as powerful as the sister Xiaolu family, it has always been supported by Shengang Yinshan and abundant financial resources. Therefore, it has always been in equal strength with the sister Xiaolu family and has been competing so far.
Although neidao family was inferior to jiangma family and sister Xiaolu family, they relied on the convenience of Jiancheng to resist for a hundred years.
Therefore, in the troubled times of the Warring States period and the law of the jungle, these three giants have their own capital to stand up to now.
If Li Xiao wants to unify the flying birds, he must first cut one of the three big families.
Sister Xiaolu's family is the most powerful. Sister Xiaolu Liang Lai and his son are all heroes for a while. With Li Xiao's current strength, they are not sure of killing them at one stroke.
The jiangma family is the weight to balance the forces of the flying geese. If Li Xiao rashly attacks the jiangma family, he is likely to be attacked by the hostile sister Xiaodao family and neidao family. The three big families work together, and Li Xiao is far from being able to resist.
Finally, Li Xiao can only choose neidao home.
"The neidao family is not only a hard city to attack, but also an alliance of the sister Xiaodao family. If our army attacks the neidao family, the sister Xiaodao family will never sit idly by."
Li Xiao thought and said, "I understand that sending troops to the neidao family is likely to cause the interference of sister Xiaodao family, so we must also be prepared to repel sister Xiaodao family in the field."
Hearing this, Dao shengmeng said, "Lord, it's not easy to attack neidao family. Please be careful."
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Sheng Meng, if it's easy, I don't care about it. I've long wanted to destroy the inner Island family. He often colluded with his sister Xiaodao's family against me. Now there is an excuse to send troops. It's just like returning to Yunjian City. It's as difficult for outsiders as climbing the sky, but it's as easy in my Li Xiao's eyes."
Listening to Li Xiao's statement, Dao shengmeng and BENDUO Zhengxin were both shocked. Guiyun city is a strong city where one man can't open. Li Xiao said it so easily.
"Lord, inside the island, there is a need for it?"
"Lord, have you contacted Shengxing temple in Vietnam? They are willing to send troops to help us capture neidao family?"
Li Xiaojun shook his head and said, "in short, you'll see."
After that, Li Xiao walked away.
There are only two people left, Dao shengmeng and BENDUO Zhengxin, who admire Li Xiao's plot and judgment.
But they can't believe Li Xiao's words at the moment.
BENDUO Zhengxin said to Daosheng fiercely, "if we return to Cloud City, we won't even win by 10%. Is your Lord too careless?"
The next day, Li Xiao left Shengang city and led more than 20 horses to Chengsheng city.
After entering Chengsheng City, Li Xiao first went to Chengxia town to see how the Yuezhong branch of Mingguo Ramen restaurant opened by Xiaofan Youzhen.
As soon as he entered the Vietnamese Chinese Ramen restaurant, there were not many people in the restaurant because it was not time for meals. Li Xiaoxian saw a bearded Southern man in a cloth robe, holding a girl on each side, sitting in the Ramen restaurant, talking and laughing while eating ramen.
Seeing this man, Li Xiao immediately frowned and asked, "Rui Costa, why do you have this leisure and come here to eat Ramen?"
Seeing that it was Li Xiao, the southern barbarian quickly took out his arms from the breasts of the two women, jumped out of his seat, came to Li Xiao in a panic, performed a samurai's etiquette to see the Lord, and said loudly: "see your Lord, I don't know if your Lord is coming, and your subjects are far away."
When Li Xiao saw Rui costaton, he couldn't cry or laugh. This is the worship etiquette of which country. However, he waved his hand and didn't care. He asked, "you are addicted to women all day. If I want you to do this time, if you screw it up for me again, I'll order someone to whip you a hundred whips."
Rui Costa listened to Li Xiao's words and was immediately afraid. He said, "Lord, we Flanders don't like to eat whips."
"What do you Frankies like?"
"Beauty," Rui Costa said without hesitation.
There was a loud noise in the room. Xiaofan Youzhen hurried out of the kitchen with a spoon in her hand. When she saw Li Xiao, a warm smile appeared on her face. Then she remembered something and hurried back to the kitchen.
Li Xiao saw Xiaofan Youzhen's back and smiled. Then he took another look and knelt on the ground. Rui Costa, in great panic, couldn't help laughing.
Li Xiao kicked Rui Costa's ass and said, "unexpectedly, there are people like you among the southern barbarians. Get up."
Rui Costa stood up with a bitter smile on his face.
Then Li Xiao went with Rui Costa to a factory on the outskirts of Chengsheng city.
The factory is set up in the mountains, only a small path runs through, the location is very hidden, and there is a light foot guard with a long gun outside the door.
After arriving at the destination.
Rui Costa walked beside Li Xiao, pointed to the row of factories and said, "with the blessing of God, oh, no, under the wise guidance of the Lord, I Rui Costa in order to complete the Lord..."
"That's enough. How's your gun casting? If you blow me up a month ago, you'll never save a hundred lashes."
"Yes." Rui Costa's riding boots were heavy on his heels, and then led Li Xiao to a warehouse built of wood.
There are two foot guards at the door of the warehouse, which are tied with three big wooden strips.
When Li Xiao and Rui Costa arrived, the two footballers gently lifted the bolt and pushed open the door.
After entering, the warehouse was empty, but a thing in the center was wrapped with cloth and slightly puffed up.
Rui Costa hurried to the object covered with cloth and said, "my Lord, this is the cannon rebuilt by my subjects. Please have a look."
Li Xiao nodded and walked solemnly to the front of the object. He bent down and stretched out his hand to slowly uncover the cloth. He saw a round copper pipe wrapped with iron hoops, lying quietly on the ground.
Rui Costa repeated and said, "my Lord, I learned the lesson from the last time. Are you satisfied with this gun?"
Li Xiaoning looked at it for a while and asked, "why is it shorter than the last time? Although I don't understand the casting gun, I remember that the shorter the gun body is, the shorter the range is. It's estimated that you can only hit your own feet."
Rui Costa made a hasty gesture and said, "Lord, you misunderstood. This is the legendary siege gun. The siege gun is different from the cannon, so it's normal to have a shorter body. Moreover, a shorter body has another advantage, saving materials."
When Rui Costa said this, Li Xiao was speechless.
However, Li Xiao squatted down, reached into the gun chamber and touched it. Compared with the last time, the gun chamber was polished smooth enough.
Li Xiao nodded, stood up and took a look at Rui Costa. Rui Costa, the king of boasting, boasted loudly last time. As a result, he actually got a blasting event. The specific result of this time can be seen only after a try.
So Li Xiao said to Rui Costa, "show me."
Rui Costa also knew that the results of the casting gun test in the past month would be tested today, so he was also worried. Then two foot soldiers took the gun out of the warehouse.
More than a dozen craftsmen were crowded on the playground. Most of them were fine bare upper body, dark complexion and dry face after long-term smoke and fire.
Because they learned that Li Xiao was coming to test the gun today, they all stood aside in an uneasy mood and wanted to see their hard work.
"See your excellency."
When these craftsmen saw Li Xiao coming in, they hurriedly bowed down together.
Li Xiao ordered them to stand up without being polite and said, "everyone has worked hard."
After Li Xiao finished, he saw that after the target was determined on the playground, three or four light football players began to pile up sandbags under the command of Rui Costa.
Li Xiao also saw from European oil paintings in the 15th and 6th centuries that, unlike field guns, when Europeans attacked the city, they basically supported the gun barrel on a sandbag as a gun rack.
In the history of cannons, cannons were still used as siege tools rather than in field operations.
In history, the two emperors created the era of using cannons.
One is Mohammed II, the Ottoman sultan, and the second is Gustav II, king of Sweden.
The former captured Constantinople with cannons in 1453, while the latter created the era of field artillery.
Rui Costa patiently commanded the foot light, increased or decreased the elevation of the gun barrel, and straightened his thumb from time to time, looking very professional.
After the elevation of the barrel is determined, the solid projectile and a certain proportion of gunpowder will be carefully filled into the barrel.
After the equipment was completed, Rui Costa personally stood next to the gun body with a torch, crossed the sky, and lit the torch on the fire rope on the gun body.
As soon as Rui Costa lit the fire rope, several foot lighters hurried to one side and retreated away in fear.
The last time the same scene happened, the cannon exploded. As a result, the foot light standing on the side directly disappeared with people and guns.
This time, the fire rope rang out, and Rui Costa was the only one standing by the gun body, motionless.
Seeing the end of the fire rope, Rui Costa suddenly threw the torch in his hand, pointed to the front with his other hand and shouted, "Amen!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang.
When the gun rang, almost everyone squatted down by their ears.
Li Xiao was shocked. The power of the gun was much stronger than the so-called rope gun. The power of one shot was so fast. No wonder it was called the king of land warfare.
Li Xiao turned his attention to the field. The first thing he confirmed was Rui Costa, and his guns were all good.
"Hit! Hit!"
Rui Costa threw the torch and immediately ran around the playground like a madman. He took off his clothes while running. He made all kinds of expressions on his face and stuck out a long tongue, just like an old dog that was too hot in summer.
Compared with Rui Costa's madness, the dozen craftsmen were much more reserved. Tears filled their eyes one by one. The whole person fell on the ground and hammered with both hands.
"Finally succeeded!"
Li Xiao looked at the destroyed target and nodded with satisfaction.
Li Xiao walked to the cannon. At the moment, the cannon body was still hot.
This is made by Rui Costa, which is called mortar in China.
Different from field artillery, field artillery kills infantry. Because of its low elevation, it mostly adopts the method of jump shot firing. Serial ejection is one column in a dozen.
The principle of mortar is similar to mortar. It is a gun with high elevation, short body and large caliber.
This was mainly because the metal casting process was not exquisite at that time, it was difficult to cast long barrel guns.
Therefore, short barrel mortars are easier to manufacture than long barrel field guns, such as cannons, and are more suitable for Li Xiao to study as a starting point.
It seems that the decision to choose Rui Costa is not wrong for Li Xiao.
"Rui Costa!"
Li Xiao gave a big drink.
Rui Costa heard Li Xiao's call and immediately stopped his crazy behavior. The whole person almost ran to Li Xiao naked.
"Lord, I hit, I hit."
"Well, I see," Li Xiao immediately asked, "how many months will it take you to build a gun?"
Rui Costa thought for a moment and said, "in two months, you can build two doors at the same time, but it's lucky to be able to pass one of the two doors."
"Well, even if you have one gun every two months, plus this gun, you must build ten more siege guns for me within a year."
"Yes, I'll finish it to the death," said Rui Costa excitedly.
Li Xiao looked at Rui Costa's expression, but he couldn't help thinking about what expression the inner Island family had when his siege gun appeared under Guiyun city.
Artillery, well, people here call it big barrel. This magic weapon will be on the stage of the Warring States period for the first time in Li Xiao's hands. (to be continued.

Please be careful."Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Sheng Meng, if it's easy, I don't care about it. I've long wanted to destroy the inner Island family. He often colluded with his sister Xiaodao's family against me. Now there is an excuse to send troops. It's just like returning to Yunjian City. It's as difficult for outsiders as climbing the sky, but it's as easy in my Li Xiao's eyes."Listening to Li Xiao's statement, Dao shengmeng and BENDUO Zhengxin were both shocked. Guiyun city is a strong city where one man can't open. Li Xiao said it so easily."Lord, inside the island, there is a need for it?""Lord, have you contacted Shengxing temple in Vietnam? They are willing to send troops to help us capture neidao family?"Li Xiaojun shook his head and said, "in short, you'll see."After that, Li Xiao walked away.There are only two people left, Dao shengmeng and BENDUO Zhengxin, who admire Li Xiao's plot and judgment.But they can't believe Li Xiao's words at the moment.BENDUO Zhengxin said to Daosheng fiercely, "if we return to Cloud City, we won't even win by 10%. Is your Lord too careless?"The next day, Li Xiao left Shengang city and led more than 20 horses to Chengsheng city.After entering Chengsheng City, Li Xiao first went to Chengxia town to see how the Yuezhong branch of Mingguo Ramen restaurant opened by Xiaofan Youzhen.As soon as he entered the Vietnamese Chinese Ramen restaurant, there were not many people in the restaurant because it was not time for meals. Li Xiaoxian saw a bearded Southern man in a cloth robe, holding a girl on each side, sitting in the Ramen restaurant, talking and laughing while eating ramen.Seeing this man, Li Xiao immediately frowned and asked, "Rui Costa, why do you have this leisure and come here to eat Ramen?"Seeing that it was Li Xiao, the southern barbarian quickly took out his arms from the breasts of the two women, jumped out of his seat, came to Li Xiao in a panic, performed a samurai's etiquette to see the Lord, and said loudly: "see your Lord, I don't know if your Lord is coming, and your subjects are far away."When Li Xiao saw Rui costaton, he couldn't cry or laugh. This is the worship etiquette of which country. However, he waved his hand and didn't care. He asked, "you are addicted to women all day. If I want you to do this time, if you screw it up for me again, I'll order someone to whip you a hundred whips."Rui Costa listened to Li Xiao's words and was immediately afraid. He said, "Lord, we Flanders don't like to eat whips.""What do you Frankies like?""Beauty," Rui Costa said without hesitation.There was a loud noise in the room. Xiaofan Youzhen hurried out of the kitchen with a spoon in her hand. When she saw Li Xiao, a warm smile appeared on her face. Then she remembered something and hurried back to the kitchen.Li Xiao saw Xiaofan Youzhen's back and smiled. Then he took another look and knelt on the ground. Rui Costa, in great panic, couldn't help laughing.Li Xiao kicked Rui Costa's ass and said, "unexpectedly, there are people like you among the southern barbarians. Get up."Rui Costa stood up with a bitter smile on his face.Then Li Xiao went with Rui Costa to a factory on the outskirts of Chengsheng city.The factory is set up in the mountains, only a small path runs through, the location is very hidden, and there is a light foot guard with a long gun outside the door.After arriving at the destination.Rui Costa walked beside Li Xiao, pointed to the row of factories and said, "with the blessing of God, oh, no, under the wise guidance of the Lord, I Rui Costa in order to complete the Lord...""That's enough. How's your gun casting? If you blow me up a month ago, you'll never save a hundred lashes.""Yes." Rui Costa's riding boots were heavy on his heels, and then led Li Xiao to a warehouse built of wood.There are two foot guards at the door of the warehouse, which are tied with three big wooden strips.When Li Xiao and Rui Costa arrived, the two footballers gently lifted the bolt and pushed open the door.After entering, the warehouse was empty, but a thing in the center was wrapped with cloth and slightly puffed up.Rui Costa hurried to the object covered with cloth and said, "my Lord, this is the cannon rebuilt by my subjects. Please have a look."Li Xiao nodded and walked solemnly to the front of the object. He bent down and stretched out his hand to slowly uncover the cloth. He saw a round copper pipe wrapped with iron hoops, lying quietly on the ground.Rui Costa repeated and said, "my Lord, I learned the lesson from the last time. Are you satisfied with this gun?"Li Xiaoning looked at it for a while and asked, "why is it shorter than the last time? Although I don't understand the casting gun, I remember that the shorter the gun body is, the shorter the range is. It's estimated that you can only hit your own feet."Rui Costa made a hasty gesture and said, "Lord, you misunderstood. This is the legendary siege gun. The siege gun is different from the cannon, so it's normal to have a shorter body. Moreover, a shorter body has another advantage, saving materials."When Rui Costa said this, Li Xiao was speechless.However, Li Xiao squatted down, reached into the gun chamber and touched it. Compared with the last time, the gun chamber was polished smooth enough.Li Xiao nodded, stood up and took a look at Rui Costa. Rui Costa, the king of boasting, boasted loudly last time. As a result, he actually got a blasting event. The specific result of this time can be seen only after a try.So Li Xiao said to Rui Costa, "show me."Rui Costa also knew that the results of the casting gun test in the past month would be tested today, so he was also worried. Then two foot soldiers took the gun out of the warehouse.More than a dozen craftsmen were crowded on the playground. Most of them were fine bare upper body, dark complexion and dry face after long-term smoke and fire.Because they learned that Li Xiao was coming to test the gun today, they all stood aside in an uneasy mood and wanted to see their hard work."See your excellency."When these craftsmen saw Li Xiao coming in, they hurriedly bowed down together.Li Xiao ordered them to stand up without being polite and said, "everyone has worked hard."After Li Xiao finished, he saw that after the target was determined on the playground, three or four light football players began to pile up sandbags under the command of Rui Costa.Li Xiao also saw from European oil paintings in the 15th and 6th centuries that, unlike field guns, when Europeans attacked the city, they basically supported the gun barrel on a sandbag as a gun rack.In the history of cannons, cannons were still used as siege tools rather than in field operations.In history, the two emperors created the era of using cannons.One is Mohammed II, the Ottoman sultan, and the second is Gustav II, king of Sweden.The former captured Constantinople with cannons in 1453, while the latter created the era of field artillery.Rui Costa patiently commanded the foot light, increased or decreased the elevation of the gun barrel, and straightened his thumb from time to time, looking very professional.After the elevation of the barrel is determined, the solid projectile and a certain proportion of gunpowder will be carefully filled into the barrel.After the equipment was completed, Rui Costa personally stood next to the gun body with a torch, crossed the sky, and lit the torch on the fire rope on the gun body.As soon as Rui Costa lit the fire rope, several foot lighters hurried to one side and retreated away in fear.The last time the same scene happened, the cannon exploded. As a result, the foot light standing on the side directly disappeared with people and guns.This time, the fire rope rang out, and Rui Costa was the only one standing by the gun body, motionless.Seeing the end of the fire rope, Rui Costa suddenly threw the torch in his hand, pointed to the front with his other hand and shouted, "Amen!"As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang.When the gun rang, almost everyone squatted down by their ears.Li Xiao was shocked. The power of the gun was much stronger than the so-called rope gun. The power of one shot was so fast. No wonder it was called the king of land warfare.Li Xiao turned his attention to the field. The first thing he confirmed was Rui Costa, and his guns were all good."Hit! Hit!"Rui Costa threw the torch and immediately ran around the playground like a madman. He took off his clothes while running. He made all kinds of expressions on his face and stuck out a long tongue, just like an old dog that was too hot in summer.Compared with Rui Costa's madness, the dozen craftsmen were much more reserved. Tears filled their eyes one by one. The whole person fell on the ground and hammered with both hands."Finally succeeded!"Li Xiao looked at the destroyed target and nodded with satisfaction.Li Xiao walked to the cannon. At the moment, the cannon body was still hot.This is made by Rui Costa, which is called mortar in China.Different from field artillery, field artillery kills infantry. Because of its low elevation, it mostly adopts the method of jump shot firing. Serial ejection is one column in a dozen.The principle of mortar is similar to mortar. It is a gun with high elevation, short body and large caliber.This was mainly because the metal casting process was not exquisite at that time, it was difficult to cast long barrel guns.Therefore, short barrel mortars are easier to manufacture than long barrel field guns, such as cannons, and are more suitable for Li Xiao to study as a starting point.It seems that the decision to choose Rui Costa is not wrong for Li Xiao."Rui Costa!"Li Xiao gave a big drink.Rui Costa heard Li Xiao's call and immediately stopped his crazy behavior. The whole person almost ran to Li Xiao naked."Lord, I hit, I hit.""Well, I see," Li Xiao immediately asked, "how many months will it take you to build a gun?"Rui Costa thought for a moment and said, "in two months, you can build two doors at the same time, but it's lucky to be able to pass one of the two doors.""Well, even if you have one gun every two months, plus this gun, you must build ten more siege guns for me within a year.""Yes, I'll finish it to the death," said Rui Costa excitedly.Li Xiao looked at Rui Costa's expression, but he couldn't help thinking about what expression the inner Island family had when his siege gun appeared under Guiyun city.Artillery, well, people here call it big barrel. This magic weapon will be on the stage of the Warring States period for the first time in Li Xiao's hands. to be continued.
