The sea breeze is gusting and the waves are surging.

The craftsmen who had been making parts in the dockyard had followed, and they all wanted to see the power of the trebuchet.

Chen Zheng asked Xusheng to drive the sea boat, dragging a small raft, and drifting to the sea, and at this time there were more and more onlookers.

Xusheng warned all the ships around the raft, and suddenly all around the raft was empty.

"What is this going to do?" A fisherman who didn't understand asked.

"Yes, why did you pay off the sea?"

"I don't know."

A shipwright in the dockyard heard it and explained to them, "Master Chen has made a trebuchet and wants to test its power. ”

When the fishermen heard this, they lost interest, and when the Dongyang County patrol ship was established before, it had conducted exercises in the Jiuquwan harbor.

Those cruisers were not equipped with more than one trebuchet, they had seen it a long time ago, so they were not surprised.

"Who are those curious faces? I've never seen it before. Someone asked

"Those are craftsmen transferred from the Ministry of Industry, all of them are highly skilled." The boatman continued.

Someone listened and said disdainfully: "Superb craftsmanship? Is Master Chen's craftsmanship superb? ”

The boatman shook his head and said, "No, Master Chen's craftsmanship is the most brilliant." However, those craftsmen are much more powerful than the carpenters in the county. ”

"That's not a good thing, look at the way they haven't seen the world." There are still people who are still disdainful.

"Come on, the first time you watched trebuchet act, you were so scared that you sat on the ground." Someone next to him debunked.

The man's face turned red and said, "Why don't I remember, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”

The people next to him immediately laughed, and the cheerful atmosphere was in stark contrast to those craftsmen.

At this moment, Xiao Zan and Li Shuang rushed over.

"Brother Chen, I heard that you made a trebuchet?" Xiao Zan asked directly.

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes, these two goods, they must have slipped away together while they were busy, the last time was to watch the sea together by boat, this time the ghost knows what they were doing.

Pointing to the trebuchet in front of him, Chen Zheng said, "Hey, isn't this it?" ”

Xiao Zan stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted the trebuchet, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it's very sturdy, and it's bigger than the one on the cruiser." ”

Chen Zheng nodded, this size enlargement was deliberately done by Chen Zheng, after all, these trebuchets were to be placed on the hills, and if they wanted to throw them farther and stronger, they needed to be built bigger.

Moreover, the trebuchet squatting on the ground can be used boldly without considering the problem of inertia.

If a trebuchet of this size is used on a ship, I am afraid that the huge inertia generated at the moment of throwing the stone may make the hull unstable.

And on the ground, there are no worries about this layer.

Xiao Zan seemed to like this trebuchet very much, stroking the trebuchet's throwing rod like stroking the thigh of the Chunfanglou girl.

"Is this a test throw?" Xiao Zan asked.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "I made this one, to show the craftsmen and masters, what kind of work they are about to complete." ”

"Brother Chen is really fast, I and Brother Li hang out, and you're done. That's amazing! Xiao Zan said with a thumbs up.

Chen Zheng was full of black lines, I don't know if Xiao Zan really praised him, or if he had a heart to hurt him.

And when the two were talking, Li Shuang also ran over.

Li Shuang's physical strength is obviously not as good as Xiao Zan's, the two must be somewhere in the distance, seeing a large number of people gathered here, they guessed that something must have happened, so they ran over.

As a result, Xiao Zan had been there for a while, and Li Shuang had arrived late.

Li Shuang ran very embarrassed, his clothes were a little messy, he was generally panting heavily, and he looked weird while sorting out his clothes.

Xiao Zan glanced at Li Shuang and said, "Brother Li, you are young, your body is not very good, you have to strengthen your exercise." ”

"Brother Xiao is still in good health, but he can't shoot it down!" Li Shuang sighed.

Chen Zheng was a little impatient with the two of them, and urged: "We're going to try to cast now, don't waste time." ”

Xiao Zan hurriedly grabbed in front of Chen Zheng and said, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”

Chen Zheng was a little helpless, so he had to give up his position, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please Brother Xiao try to vote!" ”

Chen Zheng didn't agree without grinding, but the craftsmen behind him were not happy, they didn't know the identity of Prince Xiao Zan.

"Why are you here?"

"That's right, I don't know where the gentleman came from, I've seen a lot of this kind of person in Kyoto."

"Be quiet, don't let him hear it, it's not good."

"Afraid of what? We are also from Kyoto, who doesn't know a few officials? ”

"That makes sense."

The voices of several people were not small, and after hearing this, Liu Bin, the leader of the craftsman, was so frightened that his head was full of cold sweat, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shut up for me, or cancel the reward and drive back to Kyoto!" ”

Now the craftsmen are honest, and they are watching Xiao Zan prepare to test.

Xiao Zan went to hold the stone cannonball, but Li Shuang was quite eye-catching, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, let me do this kind of rough work!" ”

Xiao Zan glanced at Li Shuang and said disdainfully: "Just you? Do you still have the strength to move? ”

Li Shuang was stunned for a moment and stopped, he was indeed a little sore now, and he couldn't use his strength.

Just when Li Shuang hesitated, Xiao Zan had already completed the loading of the stone cannonball.

Next, it's time to adjust the angle.

This is different from the previous attack on the Fuso bandits at sea, which had three sea ships and belonged to a small-scale attack; And now there is only one small raft on the sea, which belongs to precision strikes.

This time is much more difficult than the last one, and the only advantage is that you have enough time to adjust slowly.

Xiao Zan had long learned how to adjust the angle, and he seemed to have a talent for fiddling with these things.

"Look, this boy is going to hit that little raft with one shot!" Xiao Zan said confidently.

Then, Xiao Zan came to the position of the machine expansion, held his hands tightly, and broke down hard, only to hear a click, and the throwing rod of the trebuchet bounced up instantly.

The stone cannonball on top of it, with a whoosh, flew out.

The craftsmen craned their necks, their eyes moving quickly into the distance following the stone cannonball.

Bang!

After a loud bang, there was a huge splash on the sea, which frightened the craftsmen.

When the sea calmed down, everyone suddenly realized that the little raft from before was gone!

"Where's the little raft? Why is it gone? ”

"Did you miss and be swept away by the splash?"

Xiao Zan turned around, snorted coldly, and said, "A group of guys with no eyesight, Ben Gongzi told you that the little raft was sunk by Ben Gongzi!" ”
