[280] The Great Killer

It is said that when Annan was fighting bloody battles, Song Youliang was visiting the latest invention of Song Yingxing and others in the Seiji workshop in Liaodong - a steamship.

"Why are you calling a ship?" Song Youliang asked knowingly

Song Yingxing pointed to the two huge paddle wheels on both sides of the ship and said: "Because this ship does not use sail oars, it all relies on two water wheels to move forward and backward. ”

Song Youliang smiled again and asked, "How did you come up with this idea?" ”

Song Yingxing said with a smile: "There is a section in "Water Margin", which says that Captain Gao attacked Liangshan, and the navy used a warship called the loach boat, which was driven by a water wheel. However, the ship used manpower, and this ship used the power of machines, so it is not the same. ”

Song Youliang praised with satisfaction: "Mr. Song deserves to be the chief master of my Daming Precision Workshop." ”

Song Yingxing said with a smile: "Grandpa has won the award, and the minister is more ashamed that he has not been able to build an ironclad car driven by the power of steam for his grandfather." ”

"This is not in a hurry, our Ming Iron Army has no opponents on land. Moreover, my Ming Dynasty is determined to open up the sea frontier, this steam ship, in the future, my Ming fleet can crisscross the seven seas, and no one can beat it. Song Youliang said with a smile: "This first steamship is named after Mr." ”

Song Yingxing was flattered, and hurriedly excused himself: "It's difficult to wait for a cheap name. ”

"Nonsense, you are a great hero of the Ming Dynasty." Song Youliang feigned anger and said: "It's decided." ”

At this time, Huang Minggang, who was known as the crossbow king on the side, stepped forward and said: "Grandpa, with the light of Lord Song, the small one also built a repeater and connected it to a steam engine, I wonder if Grandpa can take a look at the light?" ”

"Mr. Huang is polite, what? As long as there is a magic weapon, I Song Youliang likes it. After that, Song Youliang followed Huang Minggang to a big iron car, "Hey, Mr. Song, aren't you a steam iron car that hasn't been built yet?" Then~? ”

Song Yingxing replied: "Back to Grandpa, it is true that it has not been built, although Lord Huang's ironclad car has a steam engine inside, but this car still needs to be pushed by horse-drawn people." ”

"Oh!" Song Youliang felt a little regretful, it seems that the iron armor outside is used to protect the steam engine

Huang Minggang jumped on the ironclad car and said, "I know that my Ming Dynasty already has a machine gun, but I also heard that it is difficult to make and consumes a lot. In contrast, my crossbow bolt is simple to make and inexpensive. And now with the steam engine, this new type of crossbow is no less powerful than a machine gun. ”

Immediately, Huang Minggang ordered the fire to be lit, and immediately a craftsman lit the stove, and after a while, the steam was fully accumulated, and it began to operate.

Huang Minggang ordered again in the car: "Prepare to launch." With his order, a young craftsman pushed the iron brake, and the gear of the steam engine was hung up, and then Huang Minggang pulled the plate machine again, and the crossbow arrows on the vehicle-mounted crossbow machine were immediately shot out. The steam repeater's crossbow machine is three times larger than a normal crossbow, and the bolts are about to match the size of the arrows. Both the range, rate of fire, and power were very impressive, and only by listening to the sound of fluttering, more than a hundred crossbow arrows were fired in the blink of an eye. Moreover, there is an activity mechanism under the crossbow body, which can rotate the crossbow body 360 degrees, and there is basically no shooting dead angle

"Big killer!" Song Youliang swallowed a mouthful of saliva

Huang Minggang also said proudly: "If such a car is built with more than 100 cars, even if Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron cavalry came, how many people died." Moreover, this cart can also run around with horse-drawn horses, and when the battle is surprised, it will run to support it. ”

"Good, good!" Song Youliang said three good things in a row, and was very satisfied with Huang Minggang's new invention, so he ordered the mass production of steam ships and steam crossbows. And all the craftsmen involved in this project, from Song Yingxing, Huang Minggang and ordinary primary school apprentices, are all rewarded.

And this first crossbow appeared on the battlefield of Annam fifteen days later.

At this time, the battle on the side of the Furagawa (Red River) was in full swing. The long rainy season in Vietnam seriously affected the firepower of the Ming army, although the Ming army took a lot of measures, but after all, most of the soldiers used muskets still need to be loaded with loose gunpowder flintlock pistols, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. Moreover, although many soldiers are from Guangxi and Yunnan, they cannot withstand the high temperature and humidity environment and the rampant mosquitoes in Annam, and the precursors of dysentery and malaria epidemics have already begun to appear in the army.

Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others were very puzzled when they looked at this big guy who had just been transported by the water division from the waterway. The young craftsman who came with the crossbow said proudly: "I am Dai Zi of the Ming Precision Workshop, may I ask the general, where is the enemy army the most?" ”

Li Dingguo pointed to a ferry called Balingdu that the Ming army had just occupied on the other side of the Fuliang River and said: "There are many enemy troops there. ”

Dai Zi said: "The general sent a few people to send us and this cart to the other side. ”

"Little craftsman, is that true?" Ainengqi looked at the young man, and at a glance he knew that he had never been on the battlefield

"Seriously." Dai Zi said with a smile: "In addition, General Lao is annoyed to call me by my name, don't call me a little craftsman." ”

Ai Nengqi smiled and said: "Little brother, fighting on the battlefield is not a joke, usually a hammer can hurt your hand for a long time, this is a real knife." ”

Dai Zi said with some unconvincing: "As long as the general promises not to let those enemy soldiers get close to me, I will guarantee that one person will kill a hundred enemies." ”

"What a big breath!" Enengchi smiled and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

Li Dingguo smiled helplessly, and said to Liu Wenxiu: "Send a hundred more people to protect that little craftsman, although the official is not big, but after all, he is a person from the capital." If there is an accident, we can't explain it. ”

"Order!"

In this way, the high-spirited Dai Zi crossed the Fuliang River with Ainengqi, and the soldiers pushed the crossbow to the front of the formation. The fire in the steam engine had been lit a long time ago, and at this time, it happened that the previous wave of Annan soldiers retreated, and the next wave of Annan soldiers came. Dai Zi flattened the crossbow machine, clenched the handle a little nervously, and his fingers were a little stiff on the trigger

“！ &……%￥”

Annan soldiers roared and pounced in Annan, and Ai Nengqi held a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, ready to protect Dai Zi at any time

"Master Dai, the steam is enough, you can put it in gear."

"Okay, gear!"

Gala la la ~ With the sound of gear collision, the driving wheel of the crossbow was put into gear

Immediately, Ai Nengqi only heard the sound of fluttering and fluttering in his ears, and then looked at Dai Zi, and his body continued to shake slightly with the sound of fluttering and fluttering.

yes

ah

wow

Enengchi turned his head to look at the front of the formation, and couldn't help but be shocked. I saw that the flywheel on the crossbow machine immediately turned wildly, and with the rotation of the flywheel, one after another crossbow arrows shot like locusts at those Annan soldiers who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and the speed was staggering.

Crossbow arrows like the teeth of poisonous snakes, these endless bolts shot at them like bees, and as soon as they hit them, they immediately passed through their bodies. Some crossbow arrows even pierced the body of the first person, and the force did not decrease, and they went straight into the body of the second person. The charging Annan soldiers were nailed by the continuous shooting of crossbow arrows, as if they had been beaten with whips. Wherever Dai Zi pointed the crossbow machine, the locust-like crossbow arrows swept away, and a piece fell there. Although the Annan soldiers behind were still charging forward, a large number of people fell in front, and the man who came to rush to kill immediately gasped.

The group of Annam people who were shouting and charging were stopped about 150 meters in front of the car, and the corpses were quickly piled up like a hill, and blood flowed everywhere. At this time, Ainengqi only heard a few sounds of the Titicaca, and then heard Dai Zi shouting: "Change the crossbow box." ”

Immediately, Ainengqi heard a rush of work in the iron car, and at this moment, the Annanite, who was stopped by the power of the crossbow, after a short hesitation, roared and pounced

"If you dare to die, I dare to bury it." Dai Zi tilted his head slightly, and the craftsman under the car made a gesture to him that he had finished changing. The young repeater pulled the trigger again, and the terrible crossbow arrows were like machine-gun fire, like a rain of locust arrows, where there was a dead man, and the charge did not last long, and the casualties of the Annamite were so great that they could not believe it.

Ai Nengqi also looked at it for a long time, why didn't he close his mouth, if there were a few more such divine weapons, a few small craftsmen would be able to wipe out the Annan country, and what would an old Qiu Ba like himself do?

Don't let everyone think about it, the Annan people launched the final attack, these guys rushed to the car like crazy people, they knew that now was not the time to turn back, since they dared to come here to assassinate, they were doomed to not be able to go back, and if they could not succeed, they could only become benevolent, so these people rushed over desperately. As expected, they rushed forward, and the repeater on the car immediately began firing.

However, the Annamites were not fools, and they began to disperse and charge the Ming army in a fan.

Dai Zi turned the crossbow to shoot at the Annan people, and said to Ainengqi: "This general, there is still a crossbow in the car, do you want to try it?" ”

"Huh? Yes~! "Ai Nengqi jumped on the ironclad car and took the crossbow machine in Dai Zi's hand, where there are many people in Annan, he will rush towards wherever he is, and he will scream while sudden." Annam monkey cubs, come to your grandfather to receive the reward, wahaha! ”

Dai Zi lifted out another crossbow machine, hung up the gear, and aimed at the Annan people's fierce buckle machine, and for a while, the crossbow arrows fired by the two repeaters flew towards the Annan people with a terrible whistling, nailing them to the ground like butterflies.

Due to the appearance of crossbows, the Ming army finally firmly controlled this important ferry. Subsequently, more than a dozen powerful Ming soldiers pushed this cart crossbow around in front of the Ming army's position on the Fuliangjiang River. Wherever the crossbow went, the corpses of the Annamite were left behind.

Li Meteorite slammed his head into the wooden pillar of the bolted horse in pain, "Is this murder?" Killing pigs is not so neat. ”
