After touching the body of the gun for a while, Yingchang began to circle back and forth around the perimeter of the artillery, carefully watching the whole body structure of the artillery, and after observation, Yingchang came to a conclusion that the appearance and structure of the ugly cow artillery are not much different from the howitzers of the previous life, and the caliber of the ugly cow artillery reached 260 mm!

This caliber coupled with a huge gun body makes it definitely a super heavy howitzer!

"Fang Aiqing, what is this artillery used for?" Ying often turns on the mode of blind understanding and ignorance, knowing that artillery is a cannonball, but still pretending not to know anything, this is to avoid others from suspicion.

"Zheng Yue!" Fang Zi snorted lightly!

Seeing this, Zheng Yue immediately understood what Fang Zi meant, and then ran to the side with two armorers, and together moved a large wooden box, after the big wooden box was moved, Zheng Yue used a dagger to pry open the wooden cover, revealing the true face of the big wooden box.

All the ministers gathered around curiously, only to see that the wooden box contained a black oval iron egg, and when he saw the cannonball in the wooden box, Yingchang was shocked again, my good boy, this is actually a metal shell cannonball!

Ying often thought that the current technology could only make relatively primitive shells, but he didn't expect to create a metal-shelled oval shell, which is too awesome!

"Your Majesty, this is a cannonball, as long as the cannonball is loaded into the barrel, the cannonball can be ejected, and it will explode when it hits the target, and the explosion power is endless!" Fang Zi who stood aside explained.

The second monk who listened to the ministers couldn't touch it, and couldn't understand the meaning at all, such as how did this cannonball shoot out, and the cannonball was loaded with a bowstring? And how can a shell explode? Why did it explode?

"How did the shells get out? And how did the shells explode? Yingchang turned into a curious baby and asked two questions in one breath, which were also questions that the ministers wanted to ask.

Fang Zi scratched his head a little embarrassed, if he talked about professional knowledge, His Majesty and the adults would probably become more confused the more they listened, and they would not be able to finish talking for three days and three nights, in order to achieve the purpose of being simple and easy to understand, Fang Zi directly explained the principle of fireworks.

"Your Majesty, do you know about the fireworks? Artillery shells and explosions are the same as fireworks and explosions, except that the former is born for war, and the latter is born for liveliness! ”

"Oh, I see!"

"I see!"

Fang Zi used fireworks as a metaphor for artillery, and the ministers finally understood a little, and they could be regarded as having some understanding of this artillery.

"Fang Aiqing, try it with a shot, I want to see it!" Ying Chang said.

"Yes!" Fang Zi replied with a solemn expression, and then said to the surrounding ministers: "Your Excellency and Your Majesty, take twenty steps back for the time being!" ”

The voice fell, Ying Chang took the lead and took twenty steps back, and the rest of the ministers also retreated, and after the people around the artillery were emptied, Fang Zi beckoned to the rest of the armory, and soon, the armorymen reloaded, checked.

In order to achieve the amazing effect of one shot, Fang Zi directly prepared a four-finger shelling!

And Yingchang saw the armorer reloading, and was shocked again, I go, this is actually a rear-entry reloading, and it is also using a thick rope to control the artillery to fire, doesn't this mean that the firing pin device has been invented?

When did my Great Qin become so advanced?

Ying Chang suddenly felt that it was a little dreamy now, too sudden, too inexplicable, as if he had woken up, and this era had entered the era of thermal weapons.

Ying often has this feeling, to put it bluntly, he doesn't understand his own industrial technology, if he spends a day understanding Daqin's current industrial technology, he may not have this feeling, all this seems to be sudden, but in fact it comes naturally.

"Fang Ling! The shells are loaded! ”

"Fang Ling! The barrel is stretched by four fingers! ”

After receiving the report from the armorers, Fang Zi's expression became solemn, and everyone on the field took it seriously, and their eyes never took an inch off the Ugly Bull Artillery, all wanting to see how powerful the Ugly Bull Cannon was.

Fang Zi waved his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”

The words fell, and the armorer who acted as the gunner pulled the thick rope hard!

"Boom!"

There was a bang, the artillery tiger body shook, the whole surrounding layer of dust, and at the same time the muzzle of the cannon spewed out a flame, thirty pounds of shells burst out from the muzzle, shot into the night sky, because the speed of the cannonball was too fast, except for Yingchang and Bai Qi, the two people could see the trajectory of the cannonball, and the rest of the people could not see where the cannonball was.

When the cannonball was fired in the night sky for a while, it lost its momentum and fell from the night sky, eventually landing 1,900 paces away.

Ying often saw the shells fall to the ground, thinking that there would be an earth-shattering explosion, but the result was ..... As a result, the shell simply stuck in the soil, exposing the tail of the cannon.

Didn't explode!

"Where's the shell?"

"Where's the cannonball?"

"Didn't you say it would explode? Why hasn't it exploded yet? ”

"What are you panicking about, it'll explode in a while!"

The shell did not explode, causing the ministers to talk a lot, and there was a little doubt on their faces.

What about the explosion that was said to be good? Why didn't it explode! The ministers thought secretly.

Not only did these ministers think about this problem, but Fang Zi and the other twenty armorers were also confused, yes, why didn't it explode, I had never encountered this situation in the previous test, how could it not explode?

Yang Ze, the secretary of the military department, turned slightly pale, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with the placket of his clothes.

If the shell didn't explode, it means that there is a problem with the artillery, and the weapon in question also shouts a surprise to His Majesty.

Strictly speaking, this is already a bully!

Ying Chang frowned, and asked in a rather low tone, "What's going on?"

In fact, he had already guessed the reason why the shell did not explode, it was nothing more than a dud, Fang Zi's luck was really good, he actually used a dud at the critical moment, and the dud shell is unavoidable, even if it was a developed country in the previous life, the cannonball made also had a dud, this is a matter of probability, out of a hundred cannonballs, there is always a cannonball that is a dud.

However, although he knew that there was no cause of the explosion, he couldn't say it, not only could he not say it, but he had to pretend to be angry.

Fang Zi's face turned pale, the confident color on his face completely disappeared, and turned into a look of panic, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked three steps in front of Ying Chang, bent his knees in fear, and pressed his forehead to the ground and said: "The minister is dead, please forgive your majesty!" ”

"We're going to die!"

The rest of the armorers also knelt on the ground in fear, and there was no joy in their hearts, only endless fear!
