Chapter 18 Preparation for the Southward Journey IV

After driving the children out, Zhang Zhimu began to charge the thunder shell.

In order to try out how powerful it was, Zhang Zhimu called Chen Yufeng, Li Yunhe and others to come to the river together. The children had to follow to see the excitement no matter what, Zhang Zhimu thought that now was also the time for them to have a long experience, so he said that it was okay to follow, and they had to listen to the command. The children nodded happily. Zhang Zhimu first put a long thunder by the river, pressed it with a few big stones, and then asked everyone to hide in a big pit more than ten zhang away, let Li Jing stay, and told Li Jing: "You are flexible, run to the pit after lighting the fire, it's okay, there is enough time." After speaking, Zhang Zhimu ran towards everyone. Li Jing saw that Zhang Zhimu was hiding, and used the incense that had been lit a long time ago to light ***, and also ran towards everyone. Zhang Zhimu looked at ***, it was almost burned, so he asked everyone to squat down, and after a while, he heard a bang. Everyone looked up and saw that a puff of smoke was slowly dissipating, and the stones were gone, so they all ran forward with Zhang Zhimu. As soon as I looked at the place where the ** was placed, a pit was blown out, and those stones flew. To test it, shrapnel fragmentation. Zhang Zhimu asked everyone to enclose the wooden plank that was more than one person high into a circle with a diameter of one zhang, put a ** in the middle, and let Li Jing light it and fry it again, this time, Li Jing was already very calm, and she was not so nervous when she ran back. After a "boom", the children rushed over first. Zhang Zhimu and others also followed. When I got closer, I saw that all the planks had been blown up, and there were shards the size of a fingernail or smaller on them. Zhang Zhimu thought to himself in his previous life that during the war years, the local handicraft could only blow up in half, which seemed to be nonsense.

Zhang Zhimu asked Chen Yufeng, what can I do with my ** bombing people. Chen Yufeng said that the top cannon was fired. Zhang Zhimu said: "By the way, the shells were fired with cannons, and ** were thrown by human hands. ”

As he spoke, he took out a short-twisted ** and asked Li Wei: "How is your guts?" Li Wei understood Zhang Zhimu's intentions very well, and said: "Let me try this, don't worry." "Just let everyone stay away and tell Li Wei how to use **, and then Zhang Zhimu also ran away. Li Wei stood in the pit and lit **, and as soon as he raised his hand, ** flew out, and then Li Wei squatted in the pit. **landed fifteen zhang away from Li Wei, rolled on the ground a few times before it exploded. This time, Zhang Zhimu and the others didn't hide because they were far away, and they directly saw the dazzling firelight flash and exploded. Zhang Zhimu took the lead, and several people tried to throw one one by one. This thing, as soon as I try it, I am addicted, and I want to throw it again, it is really enjoyable. The children also wanted to try, but Zhang Zhimu did not agree. Ask Xiaohu, do you want fish? Xiaohu said he didn't bring a fish hook. Zhang Zhimu lit a ** and threw it far into the river, and the "boom" ** exploded in the river, and after a while, a lot of fish floated up in the river. The children jumped up with joy, shouting and screaming to start fishing. Actually, Zhang Zhimu wanted to try, **Is there a problem in the water?

With this thing, everyone feels extra bold. Say, there is this big exploding thing, and if there are one hundred and eighty people, just a few of us, we will all be destroyed without going forward. Zhang Zhimu introduced to everyone: "The lethality of this **. Not only the lethality of this shrapnel, but also the sand and gravel blown up, and the shock wave of ** also has lethality. ”

said to Li Yunhe: "You go back to be a few coaches, but they don't have ** inside, but the weight is the same." Let everyone practice throwing thunder, one is to practice throwing far, and the other is to practice throwing accurately. ”

Seeing that the fish in the river were almost caught, everyone went back happily. I feel that these days have not been in vain. Zhang Zhimu was also very happy, but he didn't expect everything to go too smoothly.

On the way, Zhang Zhimu said to go back and make a few more **, and try how far he can shoot with a crossbow tomorrow. Chen Yufeng was also emotional when he heard this, and said: "Yes, try it quickly, that thing can shoot much farther than people throw." It can catch up with the cannon, but it can shoot faster than the cannon, and on the battlefield, this thing is amazing. Liu Yun also said, "Last time, if we had this thing with a crossbow, not to mention three boats surrounding us, if there were ten more boats, we would be able to sink it." ”

Speaking of the dart game, Zhang Zhimu said to Chen Yufeng, let Liu Yun and them go to see how their wife and children are doing, if not, take it here, there are many people here, everyone can take care of something, it is estimated that the limelight has passed now. Let them also go back to the dart game to see what happened. Liu Yun and the others were very moved in their hearts, and felt that they were with the right person this time.

The next day, when Zhang Zhimu led everyone to start trying to shoot the crossbow, the bows and arrows also arrived. The workmanship of these bows and crossbows is very good, and it generally takes four years for a good bow to be made from preparation to completion, and the cost is quite high if it is not mass production. The crossbow and bow and arrow Zhang Zhimu couldn't pull it away. The bow is a two-stone bow, and the crossbow is a two-stone crossbow. Stone (da

) is a unit of weight, one jun is thirty-two catties, and four jun is one stone. A bow with one stone and two stones is to hang a weight on the bowstring, and the weight of the hanging weight is one stone and two stones. Two with one stone is one hundred and fifty-three. Six catties (in ancient times, one catty was 590 grams), and two stones were two hundred and fifty-six catties. The crossbow is generally stepped on by a strong man with his feet, and the waist is bowed with the strength of the waist and abdomen to pull it apart, and how can Zhang Zhimu pull it apart with the pulling force of two or three hundred catties.

Zhang Zhimu dispersed the crowd, asked Li Yunhe to pull the bow away and hang it up, put ** on the bullet bag, raised the bow at a forty-five degree angle, and then helped ignite ***, Li Yunhe pulled the trigger, ** flew out with a sudden sound, landed more than 30 zhang away, rolled a few times, and exploded. Chen Yufeng came over and said, "Great, but there is still a problem."

This ** medicine twist, not to mention the danger when it is short, may not fly far before it explodes, and it will blow up after rolling on the ground a few times. If it's on a boat, it's all overboard. Besides, if it's far away, the accuracy will be poor. "Chen Yufeng is really a caring person and sees the problem very thoroughly. Zhang Zhimu called Li Yunhe and others over to discuss what to do. This method of the democratic association is a good tradition in the previous life, which can not only pool wisdom and benefits, but also stimulate the enthusiasm of everyone. In the end, Zhang Zhimu concluded that a new batch of ** for crossbow firing was remade, renamed the bow mine, the thunder body was made streamlined, there was a sharp blade in front, no matter whether it was on the ground or wood, it could be directly pierced, and a four-leaf tail fin made of iron sheet was installed on the tail to maintain the flight direction of the bow mine. The bow thunder shell can be thinner to facilitate the installation of more**. Because the attack ship has more points ** than more points of shrapnel. After the discussion, everyone used coach thunder again and practiced throwing thunder for a while. Those who are trained in martial arts are really quick to get started, and they quickly cast far and accurately. In particular, the "magic dart" Li Wei is really not in vain, he has high arms and long hands. Within fifteen zhang, put a small basket and smash it into it almost as soon as you make a move. Zhang Zhimu thought, they have caught up with the mortars. When there is a lathe, a mortar, must be made.

When he went back, Li Yunhe wanted to do a bow thunder immediately. Zhang Zhimu said, you should first get out the wooden mold and sand mold. The furnace is still burning, and I have other plans.

When watching the wife and children of the head of the dart game, Uncle Chen went with him. I went in the morning, and I picked them up before dark in the afternoon. The wife of the family, Cai, has a sallow face, and her son Yang Jing is full of vegetables, lying in the car, and she is not lightly ill at first glance, and her daughter Yang Yulin is also bowing her head and saying nothing. Huang Yukun hurriedly arranged a place to stay, and everyone was polite. Huang Yukun and Sister-in-law Xu began to cook.

Chen Yufeng came over and said to Zhang Zhimu; "Thanks to us going, otherwise this girl would have been mixed up."

It turned out that after the mother was settled in a thatched hut in the countryside, she was always worried that people would find her, coupled with the pain of losing her husband and father, Mrs. Cai's was sick, Cai's was just better, and her son was sick again. This kid is usually full of kung fu and arrogant, but suddenly he went from heaven to hell at once, and he couldn't resist the blow. It is not good to find a country man to prescribe some medicine, and he does not dare to go far to ask for a doctor. The child's illness is getting worse day by day. I don't know how. Chen Yufeng: They've arrived.

When he saw Chen Yufeng, he shouted: "Brother Chen." Cai's tears rained down, and he couldn't cry silently.

When Chen Yufeng saw this dilapidated house, it smelled. He said, "Pack up and come with us, we have come to pick you up." ”

At first, Cai was polite, saying that he couldn't trouble others. They all know that Huang Yukun, and it's not easy. Chen Yufeng introduced Zhang Zhimu's situation again and said: "My Zhimu virtuous nephew, you don't have to worry, he is a rare good person in the world." Liu Yun and the others also helped with this, and they came to pick up the mother, and Zhang Zhimu took the initiative to let them. In this way, the mother and Chen Yufeng came to the kiln. Cai's family also knew some kung fu when he was young, but it was only during this time that he suddenly changed and was depressed, so his face was not good. The son Yang Jing is eighteen this year, and the daughter is twenty this year. Both children have learned martial arts from their father since they were young. Especially Yang Yulin, who is good at using a soft whip and throwing knife, often follows his father to dart. It's just that he doesn't want to wrap his feet when he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is half a head taller than others, although he is able to write and martial arts, but no one is willing to marry, and he wants to marry and does not want to marry, so he is twenty years old and still waiting to be married. The parents are worried, but this woman has a good personality and is not worried at all.

Zhang Zhimu smiled and said to Chen Yufeng: "Discuss it with Sister Yukun and build another row of houses in the back." There are more and more people. In addition, regardless of whether it is expensive or low, pull a few carts of grain at home first, so that you can be sure-footed, and take Yang Jing to the city tomorrow to see a doctor and prescribe some good medicine. ”

Did Chen Yufeng personally send Yang Jing into the city to see a doctor, or was he familiar with the "god hand Zhang".

The people in this courtyard have a common characteristic, that is, they get up early. Zhang Zhimu couldn't stand this, but he was embarrassed, so he had to follow. There is also a common feature, that is, no matter how tired and busy you are during the day, practicing kung fu is definitely non-stop every day.

Seeing that everyone was practicing, Yulin also got up to move, dressed in red clothes and red pants, and danced a soft whip like a dragon rolling, the wind swept away the clouds, and the whole was impermeable. Everyone looked stupid. In fact, Zhang Zhimu doesn't know, everyone else knows that this Yang Yulin is called "Fire Phoenix" on the rivers and lakes, just because she wears a set of red clothes and pants and has good martial arts.

Zhang Zhimu was puzzled, with such a good figure, how could she be considered tall, it turns out that people nowadays like small ones? After Yang Yulin rested for a day, her face was already very good, white and red. Zhang Zhimu knows that there is a reason why all women who practice martial arts are beautiful. Because of practicing martial arts, I often practice Chongquan, and the Taiyin and Lung Meridians of the hands are on the inside of both arms, and I practice the two lung meridians and meridians when I practice Chongquan, and the lungs are very good, so my face is very good.

Just after noon, Chen Yufeng came back with Yang Jing, who was seeing a doctor. However, Yang Jing lay high this time. It turned out that it was Lao Wu of the Gate Army who saw Chen Yufeng entering the city, so he put ** by the city gate and waited for him to get out of the city, this time Lao Wu got eight boxes**. I had no choice but to put ** on the car and let Yang Jing lie on the ** box.

Zhang Zhimu was overjoyed when he saw four hundred catties, which was enough.

Chen Yufeng said to Zhang Zhimu: "Zhang Bengui said, Jing'er's illness is not a big deal, it is just a rush to attack the heart, as long as you don't get angry, feel better, and take some medicine to slowly recuperate." ”

Zhang Zhimu led Chen Yufeng to the side and said, "**It's okay now, Gong Lei is probably no big problem." Then he took out a piece of paper, pointed to the picture on it, and said, "Now I want to make this musket with a backroom charge." ”
