Chapter 387 Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law Second Battle
The steel ball appeared, which means...
The bearings can appear!
What kind of bearings did the ancients use to make wheels?
No bearings! They just use a piece of wood to pass through the hole and grind it hard. So it is very important to choose the wood that will serve as the bearing. Generally, it is made of elm wood.
Then apply animal fat to lubricate and increase the service life of the wood.
As technology gradually developed, people later invented the "bearing" that was closest to the later version.
Why do we say it is close to future generations?
That's because it uses two pieces of circular iron sheets, the larger one is placed inside the smaller one, and there is no steel ball in the middle, and it is hard ground.
But Li Jize came from later generations and was an inventor. The bearings became amazing after they were put into production.
The power of carriages, steering gears, ships...
In the past, ships relied on either oars or wind power, but with bearings you can make propellers.
Use a curved shaft to connect the stern and then put on the propeller.
When there is wind, use the wind power. When there is no wind, use human power. Oh! That's right, use your feet to pedal hard, just like pedaling a bicycle.
Don’t underestimate this funny design. Once the epoch-making “steam engine” appears, you can just put it on and use it! This is very perverted.
Back to the topic, the power of science and technology has enabled Qingzhou to have a large number of hydraulic machinery, which can manufacture various industrial products.
For example...
A tiny spring!
Looks super simple, right?
But in fact, the appearance of limiting springs has never been a process, and it is also possible to directly make a spiral pulling hand.
In fact, the limiting factor is the material, high-carbon steel! Without this material, you can't even wind ordinary iron and steel for a few turns. They will break immediately and have no elasticity.
With springs, then come shock absorbers and... mines!
When a person steps on this thing, the mechanism will sink, triggering the spring device inside, and the moment the foot is lifted...
The spring device resets, causing friction with the flint inside to ignite, and then explode!
At last……
A large number of steel balls shot out!
It can be said that humans are the only race that has racked their brains to invent weapons to slaughter their own kind.
Li Jize is the best of this era!
This is not...
This time he gave Zhang Tashan a lot of mines and asked him to use them for experiments on the battlefield. Poor Li Jihuan was in trouble.
The second time he had a head-on confrontation with his sister-in-law Wang Yuanya, he thought that this time would be the same as the last time, and he would defeat the other party.
It was true that during the shooting battle between the two sides, although the other side relied on the tiger squat cannon to kill a large number of people, their cannons, because of their long range, were able to shoot down Wang Yuanya's tiger squat cannon.
In the end, they couldn't win, so they just ran away like before.
Li Jihuan would not give them a chance. He stared at Wang Yuanya's banner and ordered his men to chase after her! This time, they must capture the leader first.
then……
A group of people chased Wang Yuanya, and when they chased her, they found poop! It’s time to eat egg tarts again!
It turned out that the commander had been replaced long ago, and it wasn't Wang Yuanya who was in charge at all. Instead, Wang Yuanya was just a "flagship" to lure the main force, and when these people rushed to chase, they were ambushed.
Zhang Tashan ambushed his 300 guards and the 3,000 old battalion of the rebels here, and immediately started an ambush when facing the rushing enemies.
Li Jihuan's main force was caught off guard, and they scattered in search of cover, and then...
Even more tragic!
It's a fucking minefield all around! There's only one way through.
Wang Yuanya and the others must have memorized this path and waded through the minefield from here, but they didn't know it! Even if they knew, what would happen? This was the only narrow passage, so it must be the focus of guarding and care.
That's it...
Li Jihuan and his soldiers, who had chased them here, were stunned in the minefield. What the hell was going on? Why… why was the ground beneath their feet exploding? What kind of weapon had the enemy used?
What frightened Li Jihuan the most was that his men came to report in a panic that the fleeing General Babutai had been killed in a bombing!
Originally, this guy relied on his and his barbarian cavalry's skill with archery and horsemanship to catch up with Wang Yuanya. He was chasing him on horseback and was about to catch up...
The ground beneath my feet exploded, and a large number of people died.
The poor long-distance running general would not have died, but a steel ball produced by the explosion hit his horse. The horse was frightened and ran out with him, stepping on three landmines!
When his body was finally found, he had gained more than ten pounds!
Li Jihuan knew it was all over. Not only had his main force been destroyed in this battle, but he had also killed Babutai.
Even though he is a member of the Li family and Li Jize is his elder brother, the Regent will definitely want to kill him.
Thinking of this, Li Jihuan would die if he lost, and he would also die if he escaped!
Standing in the minefield, who knows where the mines are, so I just raised my hands and feet and surrendered.
The other person is my sister-in-law. She can't be so cruel as to kill me, right?
Although if he caught Wang Yuanya, he probably would show no mercy.
That's it...
Li Jihuan's first battle was a clean and efficient one, but in this second battle, Zhang Tashan was in command, and with the help of Li Jize's new weapon...
The speed of surrender is very fast!
Le Yue stood on the top of the mountain, waving the paper fan in his hand, and laughed as he watched Li Jihuan surrendering below.
Wang Yuanya was also delighted. After having this military advisor and general, he never lost a battle! This feeling was really great.
Of course, using the lord as bait is probably the first time in history.
But how can you blame them?
Le Yue and Zhang Tashan never regarded Wang Yuanya as their lord from the beginning to the end. They only had one lord... the King of Qin!
This time, he came only to obey the order of King Qin and let Wang Yuanya withstand the attack of the barbarians and attract their attention.
Wang Yuanya quickly ordered people to gather the prisoners, and then asked people to bring up the opposing commander. When the two met, they were extremely jealous of each other!
Back when he was in the Li family, Li Jihuan was not a good person. He always teamed up with his stepmother to bully "fool Li Jize". Unexpectedly, after so many years, things have changed, and they actually met on the battlefield and fought a real battle.
Wang Yuanya's face was cold as she scolded Li Jihuan directly, "You've been serving as a running dog for the barbarians. Have you ever thought about the Li family? Have you ever thought about your brother?"
Li Jihuan was very unhappy, but as a prisoner, he did not dare to lose his temper.
"I am the fish on the chopping board, and it is not up to me to make the decision."
What he meant was that I was the fish and the barbarians were the knives and chopping boards. He asked me to lead the troops to fight you, and I would die if I didn't obey.
Of course, there is another hidden meaning in this statement. My eldest brother watched our family die without helping us, otherwise why would I do this?
