The unconscionable cannon is a projectile weapon between the mortar cannon and the mortar, the breech is fired, the firing range is short, the power is large, and in the early days of the liberation war, it was used as a gasoline barrel.

Because the bore pressure of the gasoline barrel is not high, it is necessary to tie the iron hoop, and when it is used, it is semi-buried in the ground to ram the soil tightly and increase the bore pressure, so the safety of the gasoline barrel type is not high.

The copper cylinder made by the eldest grandson is cast, which should be imitated by the circular bronze tripod system, the wall thickness is at least one inch or more, the chamber pressure is much higher, and it is safer to use, and it can be fired directly on the ground without being buried in the soil, which can not help but remind people of the tiger squat cannon in the Ming Dynasty, which is roughly the same shape.

However, the power of black powder is very limited after all, and both the range and lethality are not satisfactory, so they can only increase the amount of charge to obtain lethality.

Rain is also a big trouble, the caliber of the Overlord cannon is really too large, and the rain will be drenched with gunpowder when fired at a large elevation angle, and the counteroffensive in February is caused by the rain.

It has been more than 16 years since the appearance of artillery in the Central Plains, and it is not surprising that all countries have not been able to realize the internal charge of the projectile.

The conscienceless cannon perfectly realizes the two functions of projectile charge and long-range firing, and what is even worse is that the current cannon casting technology may not work, but the casting tripod is quite experienced.

A larger tripod is only six or seven hundred catties, and the smaller one is two or three hundred catties, and if the wall thickness is made thinner, a copper tripod of several hundred catties can realize the power of overturning more than a dozen people and dozens of people with one shot, and its effect is far more cost-effective than that of artillery that can only fire solid projectiles.

Zhou Kong proposed to equip him with such weapons, and Bai Liyan fully agreed.

There is no doubt about the power of the conscienceless cannon, and there is no reason why the enemy does not need it. Taking a step back, anyone can build this kind of weapon, which has almost no technical threshold, as long as it can be cast, and once it spreads, the unprepared side is bound to suffer a big loss.

With Yongxing City's technical background, it is more than enough to manufacture a conscienceless cannon with better performance, so there is no reason not to produce equipment.

After making up his mind, he immediately returned to the study and began to draw drawings, and within two quarters of an hour, the Overlord cannon was freshly baked.

"This picture is the Overlord Cannon?" Zhou Kong looked at the fine drawings in confusion, and he didn't believe that it would be a murderous and bloodthirsty weapon.

"Madame has never seen a lot of weapons, this picture needs to be magnified ten times, and after it is made, it looks like a large vat, and spherical explosives are packed into it, and then it can be fired like a cannon, and the power is very amazing.

If our new explosives were used, they would be five or six times more powerful than black powder, and their range would be much longer. If the crowd gathers, hundreds of casualties will be easily carried out. Let's go, go to Yongxing City with my husband, and soon implement this matter, so that we can make samples for inspection as soon as possible. ”

……

At this time, the palace Bailing Garden, King Xian was discussing with Ji Feng Pinming, the two were like old friends and talking to each other, in fact, Ji Feng had only come to Xianguo twice in his life, the first time was last year, the second time was at the beginning of this year, only August and September, and each time it made King Xian scratch his heart.

"Is Boyuanjun satisfied with this trip?"

"Huh...... Satisfied, of course, satisfied, Yongxing Hou Xiongcai is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable in the world, he is really the first genius in the world, and he is very admired. ”

Ji Feng was full of flattery, but in fact, he had no sincerity in his heart, so he changed the conversation and said:

"This time, this monarch came to discuss the purchase of the machine with the king of Xian on the order of the Son of Heaven, although it has been finalized, but the price is really higher, if the king of Xian can benefit my son of heaven, and form this good fate, the Son of Heaven will have a generous reward in the future."

"Oh, not today."

King Xian was tepid, but his words were very sarcastic.

Now everyone knows that when today's son is dying, Ji Feng opened his mouth and thanked the Son of Heaven, who knows which Son of Heaven it is. Your Bo Yuanjun's mouth is turned on both sides of a piece of paper, and if you don't admit it in the future, where will you go to reason.

Ji Feng was quite embarrassed, but he still cheekily squeezed out that fat smile, patted his chest and took it all over:

"King Xian can rest assured, my Liang Kingdom will never forget the deep friendship of Xianguo, if there is a need in the future, Liang Guo will do his best to help Xianguo."

"Bo Yuanjun gave such a big face, it seems that the widow doesn't want to give in." King Xian's attitude was faintly loose, but the next moment he changed his words: "But this matter has long been entrusted to the Marquis of Yongxing, why doesn't Boyuanjun discuss with the Marquis of Yongxing, as long as Gongzi Yan negotiates, the widow has no objection." ”

Ji Feng's cheeks couldn't help twitching, if he could convince Bailiyan to reduce the price, why would he go to great lengths to come here and talk more.

"The Marquis of Yongxing is your courtier of the King of Xian, and the King of Xian only needs one word, and the Marquis of Yongxing can not obey."

King Xian did not respond positively, and picked up the tea cup to taste the rich spring tea, very calm.

"I heard that Bo Yuanjun wants to tell the daughters of the Marquis of Yongxing, but there is such a thing."

Ji Feng's face turned red, his eyes rolled, he never thought that King Xian would mention this, so he hid the surprise on his face, and said with a smile:

"Huh...... The daughter of Yongxing is handsome, and she is really the beauty of the hibiscus among the flowers, if she can marry a famous family, wouldn't it be beautiful. ”

Seeing that Ji Feng did not deny it, King Xian pushed the boat down the water and said:

"Bo Yuanjun is so kind and charitable, how about making a matchmaker for the widow."

"Uh... This ......" Ji Feng's heart thumped, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that the two sons of Prince Xian were already adults, so didn't they speak for Xihuan's two sons? Thinking of this, Ji Feng said carefully: "I don't know which noble person King Xian wants to be a matchmaker for?" ”

"Naturally, it's my three sons who don't learn and don't know how to do it, what does Bo Yuanjun want."

"This ......"

Ji Feng was speechless, and he was at a loss for a while, and King Xian asked:

"What, what's the difficulty of Boyuanjun?"

"Ah, no, no, no......" Ji Feng was busy denying it, and then said: "This matter came abruptly, and this monarch has not been prepared for a while, if it is not for the next time he goes to your country, how about this monarch giving a satisfactory answer to King Xian." ”

"Okay, the widow is not in a hurry, Bo Yuanjun can carefully find a beautiful woman for the widow's sons, and he must be the right person."

"Yes, yes, it must be the right door, it must be the right ......"

Ji Feng responded again and again, and couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. He wanted Bailiyan to marry Yongxing City as a daughter in order to seek the greatest benefits. Now that King Xian wants him to be a matchmaker, he also has to be the right person, and the specifications of the prince of Xianwang cannot be lower than that of the daughter of Baili Yan.

The next day, the prince's mansion

"Is the news true?" Xihuan asked Ji Jinsheng Dao.

"Back to Your Highness, it's basically true. In December last year, Changsun's army thwarted the offensive of the guards in a battle, killing and wounding more than 100,000 guards, and 100,000 casualties in one day. ”

"It's so powerful, no wonder Chai Xiang was so calm at the beginning, it turns out that the eldest grandson army is not what it used to be, and he doesn't take the guards in his eyes at all."

"I'm afraid Your Highness has misunderstood, this battle is not due to the fierce combat strength of the Changsun Army, but to a kind of 'Overlord Cannon' that has never been seen before. It is said that the eldest grandson is armed with more than 300 such cannons, which is very powerful. A single shot can kill and injure more than a dozen people, or even dozens of people. As long as the projectile falls into the dense battle array, the power is very huge. The guards were caught off guard and killed by the eldest grandson's army.

This time, the guards counterattacked in February, it was the heavy rain, the overlord cannon was useless, and the original form of the weakness of the eldest grandson was revealed, and it was defeated by the guards with one blow, which shows that the strength of the eldest grandson's infantry army is still not as fierce as the guards. ”

"So, the eldest grandson army will have to be defeated again in the future?"

"I'm afraid so. It is true that the eldest grandson Bujun is weak, but its excessive reliance on new weapons is its drawback. Since ancient times, no soldier can become an army without sharpness, no matter how sophisticated the armor is, the army can not be defeated without the will to fight. ”
