Chapter 021: Simple Grenade
Hundreds of thousands of people besieged the small Hongdu, and one by one the ants attached to it, even Ma Du could imagine the dense appearance of the head with his toes. He didn't think that Deng Yu's firearm with full rate of fire and low power could play much of a role, and it was definitely not as lethal as throwing explosive packets under the city.
Considering that the gunpowder pack was not light enough and too wasteful, Mado designed this simple grenade in the shape of a firecracker. Use a bamboo tube to make a shell, fill it with black powder and a twist, seal it tightly with an oiled paper plug, and seal it with gypsum.
Gluing iron beads and stones to the outside of the bamboo tube, and finally wrapping it in linen, it is definitely a simple and lethal weapon.
I heard that the predecessors of the crossing liked to use pottery as bullet shells, which made Ma Du laugh, if the grenade made of pottery could explode in the air, it would be fine, but if it fell to the ground with a bang, was it going to set off fireworks for the enemy to see?
The bamboo tube is not afraid of falling, the key is that it can be seen everywhere in the Jiangnan area, and the cost is also very low. The only bad thing is that the size of the bamboo is different. But it doesn't matter, the larger ones can be used to defend the city, the smaller ones can be carried by the soldiers, or the two bamboo tubes can be opened as one, and it will not be wasted.
Deng Yu commanded, and in less than half an hour, a craftsman sent ten simple grenades made of bamboo tubes. Zhu Wenying touched the plaster that had not yet dried and said, "I won't let the gunpowder get wet, I don't know if I can make it." ”
Ma Du replied: "Probably not, there is oil paper separating it, you can try it." As soon as Madu's words fell, he saw this guy pick up a simple grenade, put it on the torch, and wrapped a lot of gunpowder in the twist, which burned very smoothly, spitting sparks and making a snorting sound......
I rub! Zhu Wenying, this guy really thinks it's a firecracker. Madu shouted in horror, and his feet couldn't help but retreat, "Throw it away, throw it away!" ”
"What are you afraid of! I've got a lot of firecrackers! Zhu Wenying expressed disdain for Ma Du's cowardly behavior, and did not throw it out until the medicine twist burned more than halfway.
"Get down!" Ma Du hugged his head and immediately fell to the ground, Deng Yu grabbed Zhu Wenying's neck and learned Ma Du to lie on the ground. Who knew that after the bamboo tube fell to the ground and jumped twice, there was no movement.
"Didn't ring? Broken! Zhu Wenying looked up and was just about to get up, when he heard a loud bang, and then saw smoke and dust, and there was a dense crackling sound all around, like rain hitting plantains.
Mado has participated in military exercises for battlefield ambulance, and has also experienced the scene of explosion and dirt flying around the explosion point. This can only be regarded as a small scene for him, but he didn't expect that this primitive black powder could have such a momentum when it exploded, his ears were buzzing, and Venus was floating in front of him.
By the time he got up, Deng Yu and Zhu Wenying, who were not afraid of death, had already arrived at the place of the explosion. This is the edge of the school yard, and it's messy like it's been swept away by a small hurricane.
A small arm-thick tree had been cut in half, and by looking at the jagged opening, it was clear that it had been torn apart, and the still lush crown had been half gone, and the dark green leaves had fallen all over the ground.
Deng Yu dug out a small iron bead from the trunk of the tree with a dagger and put it in his palm, I don't know if he thought of the scene of the explosion among the enemy troops, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
Zhu Wenying looked at the shallow pit the size of a basin blackened by gunpowder, and muttered, "Chen Youliang is going to be unlucky!" There was a hint of unbearability on his face.
He looked up at Madu, "Aren't you all worldly masters?" How to get some fatal stuff. ”
"It's used to travel around the rivers and lakes for self-defense, otherwise why did grandpa save me from the rebels back then."
Zhu Wenying nodded, "That's the same." The one who can make people afraid of Huaide is the master, otherwise it is like a temperless clay puppet in the temple. "In the end, it is still a bit deep to be the king of Yunnan in the future.
The huge movement attracted Zhu Wenzheng, who was giving orders in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. After listening to Deng Yu's story, Zhu Wenzheng excitedly said that he wanted to pull a few death row prisoners over to test it, and Zhu Wenying persuaded the death row prisoners to be pulled to the city wall to defend the city, and Zhu Wenzheng agreed to change the pigs and sheep.
didn't want to see the disgusting scene of flesh and blood flying in the sky, when Deng Yu and Zhu Wenzheng were talking excitedly, Ma Du quietly withdrew from the school. After walking a short distance, he found Zhu Wenying following behind, and when he approached, Ma Du asked quietly, "Haven't you killed anyone yet?" ”
Zhu Wenying's eyes widened, "Who said that I haven't killed anyone, I have killed a lot of people." I grew up in the army since I was a child, how could I not have killed anyone. He said it categorically, but his flushed face and hurried steps betrayed him.
I didn't expect that the famous King of Yunnan is still a fledgling rookie, but it doesn't matter, the bloody battle will sooner or later make him feel like a stone, otherwise how could he be ruthless in cutting off so many little finches in the future.
Hey...... Madu laughed proudly twice and walked to the wounded barracks.
Early this morning, the Metropolitan Governor's Office has ordered the closure of the city, and the usually lively Hongdu City has suddenly become deserted, most of the shops in the city have been closed, only some shops selling basic daily necessities are still open, and the prices are also ridiculously high.
Zhu Wenying, the bastard, invited Ma Du out but didn't send him back, and he just took Zhang Wuliu, a road idiot, and caused him to take many unjust roads before returning to the wounded barracks.
Hundreds of people were still cleaning hard, the house was full of smoke and dust, and when he saw Ma Du coming back with a mask, the famous gynecology doctor immediately came out of the house, took off his mask and gasped for two breaths before saying, "Lord Dushi, the small things you ordered have been arranged, but the Dadu Governor's Mansion is not allowed to brew wine privately, is it a tribute to the Dadu Governor's Mansion." ”
"It's alcohol, not wine. Most of the governors are really lenient, running around like this, and when Chen Youliang comes, this alcohol can't be brewed. You just have to do it, I'll take care of it if something happens. "If Ma Du knew that Lao Zhu cut off Hu Dahai's son because of the private brewing of wine, I am afraid he would not have said so.
"Thanks to the adult's maintenance that day, the villain escaped with his life, thank you here." The famous gynecology doctor bowed down as he spoke.
Ma Du hurriedly helped, and when he got up, there was an extra piece of jade pendant in his hand, although the size was not big, but it was crystal warm and warm, and the carving was also very exquisite, Ma Du felt that it was better than the one given by his grandfather.
"How can this be made, hehe......" Ma Du excused himself, but his hand unceremoniously stuffed the jade pendant into his arms, looking at this guy's full of silk, it is estimated that he usually takes silver from the hands of the women and young ladies of those big families, and Ma Du is still more at ease when he receives his things. By the way, what's your name? ”
"Villain Xu Daliang."
Ma Du patted him on the shoulder, "Good Xu Daliang, do a good job, I ask the Metropolitan Governor to let you go home." Xu Daliang heard this and thanked him for a while.
Seeing that the hour was not early, Ma Du estimated that Lao Liu should make lunch, so he walked to the small courtyard with Zhang Wuliu, and unconsciously took out the jade pendant given by Xu Daliang on the way to play with it, and compared the piece given by his grandfather, only to find that his difference was not half a star.
Zhang Wuliu pouted, "Little I didn't expect that you are also a corrupt official." ”
Ma Du glared at him, "I saved his life, and he gave me a beautiful jade, which is called a gift exchange." What do you know, then talk nonsense about your meal at noon. ”
"The little ones don't understand, and they also know that this jade pendant is on the waist, not on the neck."
Belch...... was despised by the second goods, and Ma Du took off the jade pendant he had just obtained from his neck.
(Thank you for the recommendation vote that has nothing to do with Fengyue)
