Chapter 9 Test Gun
Luo Hengrao is nerves are strong, willpower is tenacious, and he has also heard of magicians, but he saw with his own eyes that the soldier was more than twenty meters away from the mage, and he was directly exploded by the mage's magic.
Luo Heng felt like he was being pointed at by the enemy at gunpoint, and he would be killed at any time, so much so that when the trebuchet let out a huge tiger roar, Luo Heng found that the tower of the orcs below was close to the range of the trebuchet.
The range of the trebuchet exceeded a kilometer, which was different from what Luo Heng imagined, in the area where the trebuchet was launched. There was a burst of shouting, apparently preparing for a relaunch.
"Dodge, dodge. A knight ran past behind him again and shouted loudly, this is the herald of the battle.
All the soldiers hid behind the battlements, and looked down from the lookout to see a group of giants behind the orcs, with rock-like skin and an earthy glow.
"Damn rock giant mongrel. Satin cursed loudly.
Boom!
Luo Heng heard a bang, and saw that the area where the trebuchet was located on the street on his own floor was hit by a stone ball with an earthy yellow light, and then the stone ball exploded all at once, and the entire area where the trebuchet was located was blown up, and the wood chips flew over.
"Quick, repair the trebuchet. An officer in plate armor on this section of the wall shouted loudly.
A group of people rushed out of the cave, there were carpenters, there were other people, dead people, and broken trebuchets, and they were thrown directly into the street, and in the cave behind the street, they saw something falling on the street, and quickly went over to clean it up.
Within a minute, the street was cleared, and only some blood remained on the ground.
Knock, the sound of continuous knocking, Luo Heng found that the stone balls thrown by these rock giants actually had a range of two thousand meters, and the stone balls would explode.
The towers below were hit by the trebuchets above the fortress, some of them were crumbling, and some of them collapsed in an instant, overwhelming a large ~ piece of orcs below.
The stones thrown by the trebuchet are actually irregular, and the irregular stones fall on the ground and will not roll, but if they are round, they will roll and be more lethal.
However, Luo Heng also found that irregular stones were much better for dealing with towers, although they were covered with animal skins, but sharp stone piles were the most damaging to towers.
The trebuchet continues to wield, the towers below are decreasing, and the trebuchets on the human side are constantly being broken and repaired.
The stone balls were extremely accurate, but the giants below threw them three times each and then retreated.
"Ulla!" Finally, the two towers leaned directly against the fortress, and the upper half of the towers opened up like a ladder, and several orcs jumped up the high walls with a single jump.
Puff puff!
However, a burst of arrows fired, and the orcs were shot to the ground in an instant.
Countless human soldiers with spears poured like a tide~ towards the place where the tower was, and Satin shook his head: "This is just a tentative attack, it seems that the orcs of Zhexi are fierce." ”
Luo Heng looked at the dense army of orcs in the distance, stretching for I don't know how many kilometers, and his heart sank.
Luo Heng was a little worried about the power of the artillery, but Luo Heng looked at the narrow streets, and regained confidence in his heart, he didn't have to face those remote guys, such a street, or a cave, as long as there are a few small cannons, whatever you want, even fine iron, will also be smashed for you.
Luo Heng has no interest in watching, if there is enough advantage, Luo Heng doesn't mind continuing to watch, but no matter how you look at it, the strength of those orcs is much greater.
The Dwarven Gate is back, and not only the forging equipment, but also the metal fittings on the trebuchet will also have to be rebuilt.
Luo Heng's * base medicine made with wood molds is to use starch and the like to make the granulated * into a loose cylindrical shape, which is similar to the subtube.
Then there is the scattered bomb, the scattered bullet is relatively simple, that is, the use of stainless iron steel balls, the production of steel balls is very complicated, but Luo Heng does not ask too much, as long as there is no sharp bulge, the main thing is that the sharp bulge will hurt the inner ~ wall of the subtube.
In the end, Luo Heng decided to use cast steel balls, casting steel balls using wood molds, mainly because the steel balls are too small and not easy to forge, Luo Heng uses steel balls the size of pea grains, so that the scattered bomb has greater power.
Luo Heng found Sardin and prepared to test, but Luo Heng didn't have a bottom in his heart.
The wooden target is actually a palm-thick plank, which is also the thickness of the orc shield, those guys have great strength, and it is also a hardwood shield.
A forged solid shell, then a shotshot.
"Let's get started. Inside a larger cave, Satin spoke.
"Teacher, it's a bit loud. Luo Heng looked at the almost closed cave and was a little worried.
"Haha, loud voice?" There were other dwarves watching the excitement behind, for these dwarves, the blower that Luo Heng made was admirable, so when they heard Luo Heng make a large musket, these dwarves all came to take a look, and many of them were a little dissatisfied.
"It can be as loud as we forge. ”
"It's like, muskets, it's not like we haven't played with them. ”
These dwarves simply ignored Luo Heng's warning, and they didn't care.
Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll start." ”
Seeing that these dwarves were only two or three meters away from the sub-mother cannon, Luo Heng was afraid that he would blow up, but the charge of * was relatively light, because it was something that was ready to fight street battles, so it was not prepared to have a high range, but safety was the most important, and scattered bullets could not use high range.
The sub-cannon is fixed, the sub-barrel is also installed, Luo Heng stuffed the sub-barrel into the wooden cylinder, the second half of the sub-cannon on the earth is open, Luo Heng does not, Luo Heng uses the rear loading type, but leave a square space on the wooden cylinder, there is a bulge behind the sub-barrel, put it on just the main card, this square bulge has a small ~ hole on it, it is the place where it is poured.
Luo Heng stuffed the subtube into the mother tube, then closed the back, and poured some * into the fire hole.
Rumble!
As soon as Luo Heng closed his eyes, he inserted a red-hot iron drill into the hole where the fire was ignited, and sparks appeared instantly, and then there was a bang!
Luo Heng felt that he had lost his sense of hearing in an instant, and when he looked at Sardin and the others, he was also confused and frightened.
There was only a buzzing sound in his ears, and suddenly there was a sound outside, and the dwarves, who had not come to see the excitement, heard a loud explosion and hurried over.
"Go seal the hole, it's our dwarven secret weapon. Satin clearly saw a hole in the palm-thick wooden target on the opposite side, and jumped to his feet and shouted.
Several dwarves hurried to the entrance of the cave, just in time to stop the guards inside the fortress.
Sardin and the other dwarves came to the wooden target thirty meters away, and after taking the wooden target away, everyone gasped.
There was a deep bang on the stone wall, and there were many gaps around the stone wall.
Whoa!
As soon as a dwarf struck with a hammer in his hand, the stone wall collapsed in part, and then he saw a piece of fine iron embedded in the stone wall, deep enough to penetrate the entire stone wall as deep as a fist.
"And shotshots. Luo Heng felt a lot relieved when he saw the appearance of Sardin and the others.
"Go get a set of plate armor. Satin heard what Luo Heng said, the usefulness of scattered bullets, and immediately shouted.
"No, this is a large musket, when did the musket become so powerful? It looks like it shoots at least two or three hundred yards?"
"Just, shouldn't it be?"
"Is it *?"
"No way, could it be that Cheney is better than those alchemists?"
Many dwarves were talking, and a set of fine iron plate armor was soon brought and fixed to the wooden target.
Luo Heng carefully inspected the artillery and found that there was not much of a problem, the reason why the mother barrel was not designed to be open at the rear was to reduce the probability of exploding.
This time the dwarves covered their ears, and it was still thirty meters away, and one meter was about equal to what the dwarves said was one yard.
"Teacher, I think it's best to use a few targets. Luo Heng thought for a moment and said.
"Go, get five more sets of plate armor. "Satin didn't want to think about it, he only had the iron ball that was shot ~ out just now in his mind, and with that kind of power, even if the Beamon giant beast was hit, it would also be seriously injured, and this Cheney also said that this was only for street fighting, so wouldn't it be for field fighting?
Six sets of plate armor were fastened to wooden pillars with a diameter of one meter, and then formed an attack formation.
Rumble!
Another loud bang.
Sardin and the others rushed to the target impatiently, when Sardin saw the round small ~ hole on the plate armor, he was completely stunned, and then took the plate armor down, and he could see that it was like a sieve, and everyone's faces changed.
"Teacher, look, on the top of the neck. "In the gap between the plates, you can see a round hole in the wood.
"Okay, okay, keep today's events secret to me, if anyone goes out and talks nonsense, the God of Forging will not let him go. Satin saw the damage taken by the five sets of plate armor and immediately spoke.
Then Sardin pulled Luo Heng down into the cave where he lived.
"Cheney, how about today's experiment?" Satin took the initiative to ask, Satin can't help if he is not excited, you must know that there is also a bounty for killing orcs.
"The students felt that the cannon was too small, and if the cannon was twice as big, it could hold at least 500 projectiles, and at a distance of 30 meters, it could block the entire street. Luo Heng felt that there was something wrong with his thinking, this sub-mother cannon in a hundred catties was more suitable for the people of the earth.
But for the humans of this world, it is these dwarves that are only suitable for three or five hundred catties.
"Is there a field one, then, with a long range?" asked Satin as he continued.
"Yes, but that cannon needs at least two or three thousand catties of fine iron, and the ball that shoots ~ will explode. Luo Heng nodded and replied.
"Good, good. You redesign, I'm personally responsible. When Sardin heard this, he agreed without a mouth, a fortress, two or three thousand into fine iron is nothing, as long as you get it out, Sardin thinks about his reputation, it is called a cool profit, it is best to be able to hit directly into the tents of those sacrifices, and the small bodies of those sacrifices are hit by that kind of cannonball, and they must die and cannot die again.
"Yes, teacher. "Luo Heng finally relented, with Satin's support, the orcs would not have a better life.
"But teacher, let's train first. Luo Heng said in a low voice.
"Okay, get ten more dwarves, and those humans over there. "Satin is right when he hears it, pull it up without training, don't embarrass yourself.
PS: During the new book period, there will be a change every day, please forgive me.
