Chapter 235: The Gate of the North City

Wei Shi'an looked at Qi Liang in surprise, and he really felt inexplicable. Qi Liang is worried that there is no excuse to find Hu Guozhu, but now he has it! stepped out of the door and beckoned to Wei Shi'an: "Go see General Hu!" ”

Inside, Qi Xiyin heard Qi Liang's joy, and ran out quickly, and she didn't know why Qi Liang was happy, but as long as Qi Liang was happy, she was happy.

Wei Shi'an beckoned a few guards such as the left and right sword brothers to follow, and when they were discharged from the hospital, those guards were still standing straight, ignoring the departure of Qi Liang and the others.

Hu Guozhu and Qi Liang live in the same mansion, which is actually the Xuzhou Mansion, but Ma Bao does not live here. Through a long corridor, turning a few corners to another courtyard, Hu Guozhu was working in the hall, and was very surprised to see Qi Liang's sudden arrival, and hurriedly greeted him: "I don't know if the prince of the world is coming, and he is not welcome!" ”

Qi Liangyang smiled: "General Hu is very polite!" ”

"The prince of the world, please!" Hu Guozhu stepped aside.

Qi Liang was not polite, stepped forward, and said as he walked: "I heard that there are a few cannons!" ”

Hu Guozhu did not hide it: "It is the artillery that was transported from Kunming, there are fifteen pieces, and this is thanks to the prince, those cannons are all from Tianshuo Mansion." He admired the fact that the prince would be able to produce artillery when he returned to Kunming.

Qi Liang said: "It's all to fight against the thieves, what else do you and me do?" ”

Hu Guozhu sat down with Qi Liang, and after the people served fragrant tea, Qi Liang took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you tried those artillery?" Questions? ”

Hu Guozhu shook his head: "I haven't tried it yet!" ”

Qi Liang reminded: "You must try, only after trying will you know if you can use it, so that there will be no problems in wartime." ”

Hu Guozhu disagreed, and coped: "What the prince said is true! ”

Qi Liang glanced at it and said: "General Hu doesn't know, although the artillery is fired with spherical projectiles loaded into the muzzle, the artillery of Tianshuo Mansion is very different from the artillery of the Qing court!" ”

"Oh!" Hu Guozhu expressed surprise.

Qi Liang said: "General Hu doesn't see the long barrel of the Qing court's artillery, which is large in size and thick in the wall?" ”

Hu Guozhu asked with interest: "Which artillery is better?" ”

Qi Liang said with a smile: "Each has its own strengths, and the Qing court's Hongyi cannon is heavy, but it has a long range!" The Tianshuo Mansion artillery is small and light, and the power is small! ”

Hu Guozhu couldn't help but be disappointed: "It's not as good as the thief artillery!" ”

Qi Liang said: "It can't be said that although the Hongyi artillery has a long range, its weight is inconvenient to move, while the Tianshuo Fu artillery has a short range, but it is light and easy to move!" ”

Hu Guozhu, who has experienced a hundred battles, of course knows the importance of moving in the field, Qi Liang continued: "In fact, this is caused by the different strategic objectives of the enemy and us, the Qing court has a strong strength and currently has an advantage, and they focus on attacking the city, so they need long-range and powerful artillery; And our army is weak, at a disadvantage, focused on field warfare, so it needs light and easy to transport and carry artillery. ”

Hu Guozhu nodded, Qi Liang glanced at Hu Guozhu, who could listen attentively, pursed his lips and asked with a smile: "Does General Hu know how to fire artillery?" ”

Hu Guozhu said as a matter of course: "Isn't it just to put the projectile into the barrel and then ignite it?" ”

Qi Liang smiled and shook his head: "General Hu! Firing artillery is very technical, and it is necessary to adjust the firing angle, range, and accuracy, otherwise it will not hit the target. ”

Hu Guozhu had heard of it, but he had not operated it specifically, so he asked interestingly: "I see that the prince is very good, but he knows how to operate?" ”

Qi Liang had studied artillery in particular when he was in Kunming, and said calmly: "To adjust the firing angle, you only need to move the cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body; Adjusting the range only requires controlling the amount of gunpowder; The accuracy of the adjustment must be calculated, the artillery is equipped with a crosshair and a light door, according to the parabola can calculate the trajectory, hit the target. ”

Hu Guozhu was surprised that Qi Liang was so good, in which Qi Liang said some technical terms in later generations, which he couldn't understand at all, such as parabola.

Qi Liang sighed softly: "Launching a cannon is a very dangerous thing, if you don't operate according to the rules, or the artillery technology is not mature, and the quality of the ammunition is not up to par, it may cause an accident." Hundreds of years ago, in the far west, a king died when a cannon exploded! Qi Liang was referring to King John II of Scotland in 1460 AD.

Hu Guozhu had no time to explore why the prince knew about the far west, but he was shocked by the danger of artillery, and asked in horror: "So artillery is very dangerous?" ”

Qi Liang nodded solemnly: "So the artillery should be tested before use!" ”

Hu Guozhu nodded frequently, and Qi Liang suggested: "Those fifteen artillery pieces were transported from Kunming, and they were bumpy and tossed all the way, and I don't know if there was anything wrong, General Hu should pull them all out of the city to try!" ”

Hu Guozhu said decisively: "Tomorrow, I will pull it outside the city to test the cannon!" Qi Liang said very casually: "I'll accompany General Hu!" ”

Hu Guozhu bowed: "Thank you, Shizi!" Qi Liang was secretly happy.

After returning, Qi Liang instructed all the guards: "Everyone get ready, we will leave Xuzhou City tomorrow!" ”

Qi Xiyin listened to it and said excitedly: "I'll go and pack up my things!" ”

Qi Liang scolded with a smile: "It's still early tomorrow!" What are you anxious about? Then solemnly reminded: "Don't pack up anything, just bring weapons, and keep everything as it is, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others!" "Now the guards already know that everyone is under house arrest.

On the morning of the second day, Hu Guozhu led more than 1,000 people to drag 15 artillery pieces to prepare to leave the city, Qi Liang rode with him, followed by Qi Xiyin, Wei Shi'an and others, who had nothing but equipment.

It was also the north gate, and it was also the young flag commander who boldly stepped forward and asked: "Shizi!" Checkmate! Where are you going? ”

Hu Guozhu asked: "Where is General Ben going, can you ask your little flag order?" ”

Qi Liang never despised ordinary people, which was related to his ordinary background, and said gently: "We are going out of the city to test the cannon, and we also ask the flag order to open the city gate to make way!" ”

Qi Ling asked calmly: "Is there a general order?" ”

Hu Guozhu shouted violently: "Bold! What general order does this want to go out of the city? "He is a general himself, and this Xuzhou City is still his station, he is the master.

Qi Ling just said without humility: "Without the general's order, no one is allowed to go out of the city!" ”

Hu Guozhu was furious and waved his hand: "Get out of the city!" Yang Lin, the captain of the personal guard, led people to rush up and forced the city defense troops such as Qiling to the corner of the city wall.

Qi Liang admired that banner commander very much, he was neither arrogant nor humble, and he was loyal to his duties.

After the army left the city, the banner commander breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered: "Go and inform the general quickly!" ”
