The Golden Horde began to knock on the gates and plunder for food, which Xiao Song had anticipated a few months ago, and with his character, as long as it was foreseen, he would definitely prepare in advance.

Fourteen short- and medium-range smoothbore guns were erected by the caravan on the head of the city of Taiyuan, which was a prototype of the workshop, and there was still a long distance from the products of the Eight Classics, but the majesty of the muzzle of the black hole was to give people a sense of majesty.

"That's it...... Cannon? ”

Buddha Baonu stood in front of a smoothbore cannon that weighed hundreds of pounds with just one barrel, looking at this strange-shaped weapon, the expression on his face was full of doubt.

"Back to the eldest prince, it's the cannon." The caravan's Taipan is also a person from the workshop, and he is generally responsible for managing the after-sales and maintenance of products, and this time is also the first batch of advanced weapons orders in the workshop.

"This thing...... Like a trebuchet? ”

Taipan shook his head with a smile and said, "Far from that, the eldest prince will be able to see its power later." ”

Buddha Baonu's face was full of curiosity, and the Taipan continued: "But our master said, pay off to friendship, buy and sell to buy, this cannon can be given to the prince, but a cannonball of 3,500 yuan will not be bargained. ”

"Cannonballs?"

Buddha Bonu was a little caught off guard by this new series of words, but before he could speak, Taipan ordered someone to bring a cannonball, which seemed to be made of cast iron, like a stoneware pot, short and fat, with a section of his head painted with color, which looked funny and cute.

"This is the cannonball." Taipan patted the dozens of pounds of cannonballs: "After this thing is launched, it will be like thunder rolling in the sky, and there will be no grass within a radius of ten battles." ”

"Is it really that amazing?"

Seeing that the Buddha Baonu didn't believe it, Taipan said with a smile: "Three thousand five hundred pieces, the eldest prince casually tried to fire, this time we only brought a hundred cannonballs, the lord said that this thing alone can relieve the urgent need of the eldest prince." ”

Buddha Baonu twitched in his heart, wanting to see the power but reluctant to ...... the three thousand five hundred That's a lot of money.

"By the way, you keep saying that the master of the family, who is your master?"

"Did the eldest prince really forget?" The Taipan smiled and said, "Great Song Dynasty, Song Beiyun." ”

Buddha Baonu's originally smiling face collapsed in an instant, and she said with a dark face, "He asked you to come?" ”

"It's the master's family, he said that even the Great Song Dynasty has not equipped this thing, and it was given to the eldest prince to defend against foreign enemies." Taipan smiled and nodded, "The master also said......"

"Enough!" Buddha Baonu waved his hand: "Take it, this hall disdains to use his things!" ”

The Taipan was not arrogant or impatient, but just took out an account book: "By the way, the master also instructed that if the eldest prince refuses to use it, he will try to shoot one for you to see, and this one will be counted in his account." ”

Buddha Baonu tried to stop it, but in the end he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and made way for the Taipan, and then saw the caravan people start to fiddle with one of the cannons, this cannon is not of a large caliber, but they are very careful in handling it, first cleaning the barrel with a stick tied with cotton cloth, then throwing a paper bag into it, and then inserting a lead in the position of the cannon's butt.

Then they adjusted the position of the muzzle, and finally slipped the shell through the front.

"Please cover your ears and open your mouth slightly."

Buddha Baonu wanted to be strong, but seeing that the people in the caravan were operating like this, she didn't dare to be strong, so she hurriedly did it. The Taipan picked up the fire fold and blew it twice, igniting the wire, and as the wire slowly entered the barrel, a loud bang followed.

Buddha Baonu was instantly frightened, and sat on the city wall without standing firmly. After she realized her ugly state, she hurriedly got up, but as soon as she got up, she saw a burst of fireworks suddenly soaring into the air two hundred zhang outside the city gate, and after taking a breath, there was a roar like thunder.

"This ......" Buddha Baonu stared into the distance with wide eyes and disbelief, the place was still smoky, and the snow around it seemed to have been blown away a lot.

Unbelievable, really unbelievable...... Buddha Baonu only felt shocked and even trembled in her heart, and she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if such a terrible blow fell on her head.

"This is the ability of the Great Song?"

"It's the power of the Lord's house." Taipan laughed: "The master said, who made him like Litong and betray the country." ”

Buddha Baonu was stunned for a while, and then felt that her face was a little unbearable, she turned her head sideways: "What else do you have to bring?" ”

"Yes. The master instructed that when you see the eldest prince, let the little one say hello to you first, and then say hello to you, if there is still a chance, I hope that the eldest prince will not go over the wall. ”

Buddha Baonu sneered, but he didn't say anything more, just turned his head sideways and snorted coldly: "There are only a hundred of these things?" ”

"This is already exhausted, and the entire Great Song Dynasty can't find the one hundred and one."

"So how do you fiddle with that?"

Taipan said seriously: "The villain is responsible for after-sales and will assist the eldest prince throughout the process." ”

"Then I ask you, do you know how this thing is structured?"

"This ......" the big pan looked embarrassed: "The villain knows, but the master said that if the eldest prince asks, you will tell him that this thing seems simple, but there are several sets of numbers in it for Anu to know." ”

"Don't call Anu!" Buddha Baonu angrily rebuked: "That bastard...... Just say it. ”

"One word, six coordination, 100 days of sleeplessness, 1,000 processes, 10,000 craftsmen, hundreds of millions of money." Taipan smiled: "The eldest prince, is it okay?" ”

Buddha Baonu was stunned, he wanted to be stubborn but couldn't open his mouth, because although the Liaoguo Workshop was being built, the six departments were blaming each other, and now two months have passed, and what was the vacant land before and now, there has been no change at all. Either the money is not in place, or the people are not in place, or even simply saying that it can't be done.

The originally ambitious Buddha Baonu was disheartened by those courtiers, and there have been mistakes in the north these days, so her mind is no longer on the workshop, and now the Great Song Dynasty ...... No, what Song Gou took out made her eyes red and her heart feverish.

"You come to Liaoguo, I will make you a character like your master."

Buddha Baonu is a repeater of the old trick, but this Taipan hugged his fists and thanked him and said with a smile: "Xie Da Prince's good intentions, the difference between the villain and the main family is more than heaven and earth, and he still has a lot of knowledge that the villain wants to learn. ”

The more the Taipan said, the more aggrieved and angry Buddha Baonu became, she slapped the wall angrily, and simply said: "If this cannon can only lie here, what should the Prairie Ranger do?" ”

This is a typical fault finding in order to reduce the price. But Xiao Song obviously expected this hand, so the Taipan seemed confident, and he only stretched out his hand, and several sturdy men came up and lowered a cannon on a rope, and then they unloaded the carriage of a carriage and fastened the small steel cannon to the top with an iron bolt.

After this is installed, the pony will run forward as soon as he pulls the cannon, and when it reaches the predetermined place, he only needs to use a strange-looking tripod to prop up the carriage, and as soon as the horse is removed and the wheels are removed, it becomes a small cannon with a turret.

Buddha Bonu was amazed by this, but when he thought about it, it was the man who made it out of it.

But the more this is the case, the more angry Buddha Baonu is in her heart, if that person can be in Da Liao, she probably won't have to work so hard.

In fact, she didn't know that these small cannons were completely semi-finished products, because the welding strength of the steel could not keep up, so the design caliber was greatly reduced, Song Beigou's original design concept was a 57 mm caliber 73 times the diameter of the smoothbore gun, but now because of the limited materials and technology, it can only be made into a 20 caliber 50 times the diameter of the classic smoothbore gun, and because the armor-piercing process has not been completed, Xiao Song can only sacrifice the service life of the barrel and increase the thickness of the barrel.

This kind of 20-mm waste artillery shell, which can only hit seven or eight hundred meters away and has an explosion killing range of only about 20 meters, is concentrated on the middle isolation part because the front warhead cannot directly contact the rear end.

The result of this is that the butt is large and heavy, but the head is light and fluttering, so it will somersault in mid-air, although it will still detonate due to the impact when it lands, but the target is really ......

It's unsightly.

And this kind of cannon is not so safe and reliable, it has the risk of exploding, why these people to operate is actually because only they can understand the precise charge after repeated training, if the charge is too much, it may directly detonate the warhead, and then it will be stimulated.

To sum up, this thing is used to test the battlefield and cheat Liaoguo money, after all, the research and development costs are too expensive, and it is really unbearable not to find someone to share a little, and the household department Shangshu has cried three times with Zhao Xing, and even Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is sad about this.

This export weapon seems to be Xiao Song's new method of flirting with his sister, but in fact, it is the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War who are leading this matter, because there is no approval from the Ministry of War, this thing can't even be counted on in Jinling City.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Although the cannon is free, a cannonball is worth 3,500 yuan, which is tantamount to a sky-high price, but if there is only a cannon and no cannonballs, then it is better to burn a stick.

So even if Buddha Baonu felt that this was a pit, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, after all, the top priority was to drive the Tartars back from the grassland, and it was fundamental to lift the siege of the border pass.

"Does this really work?"

She asked again uneasily, after all, it was a new thing that she had never seen before, and Anu really had no confidence in her heart.

"Rest assured, the master said that it only takes one volley for the Tartars to retreat without a fight, and no longer dare to knock easily."

"I hope so."
