Coaxed one and trained another, Zhao Yu asked people to send some food and some silver money to the front army to settle those people who came to look for relatives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He walked to the east gate, stepped on the drawbridge and retracted, thinking that he should not let the old man worry about it any longer, and turned back to the boat. However, in order to avoid trouble, the ship still moved to the west bank, and he looked thoughtfully at the enemy camp on the east bank where the enemy artillery was hidden. After a hundred battles, he knew that the enemy's naval army was strong and was not suitable for forcible crossing, but he was still actively preparing to cross the river, thinking that it was with those few artillery!

"A few stinky boys, let you steal one back, but why did you make such a move!" Just after the ugly hour, there was a battle in the west of the city, to be exact, the place of the battle was released in the Yuan army camp on the west bank of the Jinjiang River, and woke up Zhao Hao, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, he put on his clothes and looked out of the window, so it was a fire, and the explosion sounded again and again.

"Ni Liang, how many people did Zheng Yong take out?" Ni Liang also got up immediately when he heard the movement, and came to escort him with a few guards, Zhao Hao turned his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Yong has brought a small team of water ghosts!" Ni Liang replied.

"How could a small group of people make such a big deal, it can't be an accident, right?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this.

"No, Zheng Yong can pierce two feet deep with a fierce son, and he doesn't need to breathe if he can swim from one end of the river to this end, even if he is found drilling into the river, the Tartar can't catch him!" Ni Liang shook his head and said.

"You send someone to pick it up, don't let anything happen!" Zhao Yu still said with some worry, after all, the matter started because of his curiosity, and it would not be cost-effective to take a few elites for this reason.

The time to wait for the news was the hardest, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so Zhao Hao sat down a few days ago and picked up the iron bullet that pierced the gunwale from the dare, and played with it in his hand. After he returned to the camp today, he personally inspected the impact point on the Daring. Strictly speaking, the gunwales were not completely penetrated, and after the iron bullet penetrated the three layers of gunwales, the remaining force could not penetrate the last layer of gunwales, but only smashed it, and the iron bullet with a diameter of an inch and a half fell through the gap, so it did not hurt anyone. But it still scared everyone, because since the dragon ship participated in the actual battle, there has never been a situation where the gunwack has been broken down, let alone a new ship that has been in service for less than a year.

Zhao Yu checked the weight of the iron bullet at about seven or eight taels, although it is not big, the power is really not small, if it is an ordinary warship, it will definitely be easily penetrated. But looking at the diameter of the iron bullet, he felt that it was not like it was fired by artillery, but like it was fired by a gun, so he was a little curious about what the Yuan army was equipped with, which made him even more anxious to wait. After staying up for another half an hour, Zheng Yong and the others finally came back, all of them had all beards and tails, and they were all sent up with a heavy guy in their arms.

Zhao Hao counted the whole five, daring to love them, this is to pack other people's things and bring them back, no wonder there was such a big commotion. However, he still suppressed his curiosity to take a look at it immediately, and first asked about the process of 'stealing' the artillery, after all, people desperately got it for you, and if you didn't even care about it, it would be too impersonal.

It turned out that Zheng Yong led a team of people to take advantage of the darkness to take a small boat to the center of the river, then went into the water and swam to the opposite bank, and quietly entered the camp of the Yuan army according to the direction determined by His Majesty, and really found the metal pipe described by His Majesty. Zheng Yong pondered that this thing must be an extremely important thing, otherwise he would not have used the 'Water Ghost Team' to do this, so he kept trying to get all five cannons back.

But this cannon is not a firewood stick, it can be brought back with a clip in the armpit, and of course it was discovered by the patrolling reinforcements as soon as it moved. Not only did they kill a team of patrolling enemy soldiers, but also set a fire to light the raft that the Yuan army was preparing to build a bridge, and the fire ignited the gunpowder hoarded nearby, which made the matter bigger, but a few of them took advantage of the chaos to drag the cannon and ran back to the boat that received it!

Zhao Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard what happened, he just wanted to see what this thing was like, and it was enough to get one back. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yong wrapped everything up and took such a big risk, but the matter couldn't be broken so as not to hurt everyone's hearts, so he praised them a lot, and warned them not to take risks rashly in the future, they couldn't lose their elites, which were baby bumps that couldn't be exchanged for hundreds of cannons.

With spiritual encouragement, Zhao Yu certainly did not forget the material rewards. For the guard battalion belonging to the inner circle, he did not hesitate to reward, but this time he did not give gold and silver, but gave each of them a short knife, this knife is not made of ordinary materials, but the scrap and scraps of the trial spring are made, although it is a waste utilization, it is not as good as the legendary artifact, but the hardness, toughness and strength are better than the so-called hundred steel.

The knife was designed by Zhao Yu himself, made by the Imperial Supervisor, the appearance is fantastic, and supplemented by whale bone as the handle, wrapped with gold wire, and with shark skin as the sheath, embedded with gemstones, the knife surface is engraved with the word 'dragon teeth'. Not only a self-defense weapon, but also an extremely beautiful work of art, coupled with the limited materials, only eighteen were made, which was even more precious, and he claimed to reward it to the warriors of the army. Zheng Yong and the others set a precedent, of course, they were overjoyed, this is more precious than gold and silver, the problem is that you can't buy it if you have money!

After sending a few people away, Zhao Yu asked people to move the 'artillery' to his studio for research. After cleaning the mud and sand on it, the gun body is tinged with copper, indicating that the gun body should be made of copper, but the manufacture is relatively rough, and there are pores and unpolished edges and corners on it under closer inspection, which should be cast. It has a stout shape and consists of a muzzle, a chamber, an chamber and a tail. The muzzle of the gun is bowl-shaped, the mouth of the gun is in the shape of a large bowl, the breech is thick and long, and the medicine chamber is bulging in an oval shape, and there is a small hole in it, which communicates with the medicine chamber and is used to fill the fuse. The tail end is flush and the margin is convex.

After reading it, Zhao Hao thought that this was similar to the earliest artillery recorded in the history books, the middle and front arc barrel was filled with projectiles, and the rear straight chamber was filled with gunpowder, and the projectiles were fired out by the impact generated by the gunpowder burning, so as to shoot the enemy and destroy the target. He also measured it with a ruler, the length of the cannon body was two feet and six minutes, the bore diameter of the cannon was two inches, but the diameter of the bowl was more than five inches......
