Volume 1 Young and frivolous and more sword fights Chapter 63 Blowing up the secret passage
He Shi Fuxing pulled the Hongyi cannon out of the camp this time, called training, but in fact, the firearms sold to the Jurchens have been transported, and now he is ready to blow up the secret passage used for transportation, he doesn't want to delay the time to fight with Zhang Zhiji, seeing that Zhang Zhiji still wants to entangle, Shi Fuxing is also a little annoyed and said: "I don't know what else Captain Zhang has to say?" ”
Zhang Zhiji kindly took Shi Fuxing's arm and said: "In the past, those veterans didn't understand the situation when they said nonsense, don't take it to heart, in fact, it's just that the people under Shi Jiang are all newcomers, and it's normal to fight inaccurately, and Shi Jiang's general skills are obvious to everyone." So I also sincerely want to ask Mr. Ishisho for advice. ”
Shi Fuxing said suspiciously: "Do you really want to learn?" ”
"Of course it's true, more real than real money."
Shi Fuxing thought, since Zhang Zhiji wanted to try, he could just borrow his hand to destroy the secret passage, even if someone found out, it would not be able to rely on him, although Zhang Zhiji may not be able to hit accurately, but if he is adjusted, it may not be able to blow it up.
So Shi Fuxing said to Zhang Zhiji: "In this case, Captain Zhang will go with us, and I will also teach you the key to shooting Hongyi cannons, by the way, is Captain Zhang going to order a piece first?" ”
"No need, I took leave with the adjutant general, and I don't need to pay attention these days."
Shi Fuxing laughed and said, "Then walk?" ”
Zhang Zhiji followed Shi Fuxing and a team of people to pull a Hongyi cannon to the outside of the camp, but after walking for a long time, Shi Fuxing did not see any signs of stopping, Zhang Zhiji asked suspiciously: "Mr. Shi, many places along the way are suitable for target training, why do you go so far?" ”
Shi Fuxing didn't know how to answer, but said perfunctorily: "Captain Zhang doesn't understand, you need to be physically and mentally suitable to operate the cannon, otherwise it will always affect your performance." ”
Zhang Zhiji nodded as if he didn't understand, thinking, what kind of truth is this? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to fight at the shooting range? But if he asks for others, he doesn't care too much.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, the group finally stopped, and Shi Fuxing said, "Let's go here." ”
Although Zhang Zhiji has never eaten pork, he has finally seen a pig run, although this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, and it is suitable for body and mind, but it doesn't look like a suitable place to practice cannonballs, not to mention that the place is small, and there is not even a decent goal.
Shi Fuxing first ordered a few soldiers to set up a gun mount, and then said to a soldier: "You first demonstrate a cannon to Captain Zhang." ”
"Yes." The soldier responded, and then began to load ammunition, no wonder Shi Fuxing's men couldn't fight well, they didn't even ask the target, they didn't do adjustment, they filled up the ammunition and began to ignite, and the first shot didn't need to ask to know that it was flying.
Zhang Zhiji regretted it in his heart, there are only a few days left to learn how to operate the gun, and the master who is not picked today is a little unreliable.
Unexpectedly, Shi Fuxing slapped the back of the soldier's head with a palm, and said angrily: "You don't even adjust the muzzle of the cannon, what kind of cannon are you shooting?" ”
After listening to Shi Fuxing's words, Zhang Zhiji finally felt better, at least this stone handle was not too distracted.
After a shell was fired, several soldiers wiped the barrel with a wooden stick with a thick arm wrapped around a few strips of cloth on it, and then continued to load ammunition, and after the second shell was loaded, Shi Fuxing personally adjusted the base and muzzle, and then said to Zhang Zhiji: "Captain Zhang, why don't you try this second gun?" ”
Zhang Zhiji was not humble, reached out and took the torch in the hand of a soldier, and then asked Shi Fuxing: "Where is the target of Mr. Shi this time?" ”
Shi Fu walked to Zhang Zhiji's side, stretched out his hand and pointed to a slightly raised dirt bag in the distance and said, "Do you see that dirt bag with many stones on it?" It's just hitting there. ”
Zhang Zhiji nodded, and then lit the lead of the cannon with a torch, and after a while, only a boom was heard, and the cannon went out, but it did not hit the dirt bag, but slightly missed.
Shi Fuxing looked at the intact few big stones, felt a little regretful in his heart, and said to Zhang Zhiji: "It doesn't matter, it's good that Captain Zhang can fight like this for the first time." ”
Zhang Zhiji looked at the cannon crater in the distance and was a little distracted, but did not answer.
Shi Fuxing looked at Zhang Zhiji's line of sight, and sighed in his heart, this cannon not only did not blow up the secret passage, but blew up a big hole in the secret passage next to it, if you don't understand, you think it is a cannon crater blown up by a cannonball, but Zhang Zhiji is different, he is a common Shenji battalion training cannon, and the normal Hongyi cannon is not so powerful at all.
Shi Fuxing hurriedly ordered the soldiers to continue to clean the barrel and load ammunition.
Zhang Zhiji turned back to Shi Fuxing and said, "Mr. Shi, do you think there is something abnormal there?" It looks like some kind of pothole has been blown up. Why don't we go over and have a look? ”
Shi Fuxing hurriedly said: "Captain Zhang is too worried, this is just a little more ammunition from the last shot, how can there be any potholes outside this Beijing camp to blow him up." ”
Zhang Zhiji looked at the artillery pit and said firmly: "No, even if the ordinary Hongyi cannon has more ammunition, it won't have such a great power, I'd better go over and take a look." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Shi Fuxing to stop him, and went directly to the direction of the gun pit.
Shi Fuxing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Zhiji and said: "Captain Zhang doesn't have to be so nervous, even if there are any potholes, they are just potholes for some beasts to fight for the winter, I haven't told Captain Zhang in detail how to adjust the muzzle, Captain Zhang still don't waste time, let's practice quickly, if you are worried about what potholes there are, it's not too late to check after we finish practicing, not to mention that the guns have no eyes, in case Captain Zhang passes, it's not good if we get injured when we practice." ”
Zhang Zhiji saw that what Shi Fuxing said was true, so he didn't insist anymore, turned around and followed Shi Fuxing back to the gun position.
Shi Fuxing finally pulled Zhang Zhiji back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if Zhang Zhiji insisted on going, he would have to force a few more shots to blow up the secret passage that day at the risk of hurting him.
This time, Shi Fuxing did not hide his selfishness, and told Zhang Zhiji in detail how to adjust the gun mount, how to adjust the gun port, and then Zhang Zhiji adjusted it himself, but the target changed direction to avoid any more accidents.
Shi Fuxing did not participate in the adjustment of the second gun, all of which were personally adjusted by Zhang Zhiji under his guidance, and this cannon was still about ten steps away from the set goal.
Then Shi Fuxing's team and Zhang Zhiji took turns to go up to practice the target, and as a result, a team plus Zhang Zhiji and twenty people, only two of them hit the target, and they really lived up to the name of ten bad, but the two guns that Shi Fuxing personally adjusted behind did hit the target steadily.
After a round of artillery fire, Shi Fuxing turned the muzzle of the cannon again, aiming the muzzle at the place where a pothole had been blown up before, Zhang Zhiji wanted to adjust the cannon himself, but Shi Fuxing stopped him.
"I'll adjust this shell, Captain Zhang will look at it first, according to your previous adjustment method, the muzzle is always lower, or I'll do it again first, Captain Zhang will try again after learning."
Zhang Zhiji also had the psychology of learning, and he knew that his level was still very poor, and he did not insist on adjusting the gun by himself.
When Shi Fuxing's muzzle was adjusted and the ammunition was loaded, the fuse was ignited and then a boom was fired, and it actually fell on the edge of the raised mound of earth and boulders, although the gravel and earth filled half of the hole that had blown him up before, but there was an extra five-foot square pit where the shell fell.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiji ignored Shi Fuxing's obstruction, and insisted on going to the crater to check, Shi Fuxing was very remorseful in his heart, it was better not to bring Zhang Zhiji over, and just blow it up casually with a few cannons, it was really impossible to blow him up with a bunch of gunpowder in the secret passage, but at this time, he couldn't use gunpowder to blow up the secret passage in front of Zhang Zhiji.
The gun pit was only six or seven hundred steps away from the artillery, Shi Fuxing saw that he couldn't stop Zhang Zhiji, so he simply gritted his teeth and ordered someone to quickly load the shells, and then carefully adjusted the position and muzzle of the gun mount, and then quickly ignited the fuse.
The more nervous Shi Fuxing was, the more likely he was to make mistakes, and although the cannon didn't blow up a new pothole, the mound didn't hit either.
Zhang Zhiji heard the sound of the cannon, glanced back, and felt more and more that there was a problem here, and regardless of Shi Fuxing's artillery, he even quickened his pace and walked over there.
Shi Fuxing fired two more shots, but they didn't hit.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiji was only more than a hundred steps away from the mound, Shi Fuxing gritted his teeth and personally wiped the barrel to load the shell, because the shell was too fast, and the barrel was already showing signs of overheating, how could Shi Fuxing take care of so much, if he couldn't hit in the end, even if Zhang Zhiji was blown up, he couldn't let the secret passage be discovered.
Although Zhang Zhiji was the little grandfather of the British Mansion, he was killed by mistake, at most one life was worth one life, but the collusion with the Jurchens was discovered, and that was the great crime of the Nine Clans.
Quickly loaded the ammunition, Shi Fuxing adjusted the muzzle of the cannon again, this time did not disappoint him, when Zhang Zhiji was still seventy or eighty steps away from the pothole, the shell landed steadily on the mound, and the gravel and earth turned up, burying the whole hole that was blown out.
Zhang Zhiji thought that Shi Fuxing would not dare to shoot at him if he dared to fight again, after that shot, Shi Fuxing really stopped the artillery fire, and when Zhang Zhiji walked to the previous pothole, he saw that the pit had already been filled, except for the scorched earth and gravel above, there was no trace of the pit below.
At this time, Shi Fuxing was also in a cold sweat, if he blew up Zhang Zhiji in front of a righteous person, then he would definitely die, and at this time he could be regarded as an escape from death.
Zhang Zhiji didn't think much about it after seeing that he didn't find anything, and turned around and walked towards the place he came from before.
When Zhang Zhiji walked back to the place where the cannon was manipulated, he saw Shi Fuxing say with an angry face: "Did Captain Zhang deliberately make trouble with us today?" It's about to be a martial arts evaluation, one of our team members is practicing the artillery, you actually go to the target as a target, you really want me Shi someone is a bloodless man who doesn't dare to bomb you, right? ”
