Chapter 55: A Few Shots

"Oh, that's it, Brother Ye, you take me and Wen Feng first to see the new artillery;

Then let's pull it out of the city and fire a few more shots, and I should know what the problem is......"

When he was working as a translator for Ye Xunxi and the sailors of Allen's caravan in Ningbo Mansion, trying to imitate and improve muskets;

Liu Huayun only practiced with his eldest wife Zhao Lingxin, as well as the little demon girl Liu Ruoping, and the little apple Lei Tingting, these three girls practiced together, and the eighteen-character mantra of the royal maiden.

Although at that time, he had unlocked the two major skills of memorability and memorization, and his IQ had also increased by sixty;

But compared to him who has now collected seven red faces, has a fully open IQ of 232, and can connect to the WIFI in his previous life and query and verify at any time, he is not at the same level at all.

As Liu Huayun said, with only a few shots on the spot, with his current ability, he can easily find out the crux of the recoil of the new artillery that is too large to hit the target.

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it, Lord Liu, wait a minute!"

Ye Xunxi agreed, and then took Liu Huayun and the others to the back.

"Big brother, this miniature version of the Shenwei cannon is really ...... you designed"

Walking into the courtyard, looking at the new cannon in front of him, which was nearly two-thirds smaller than the traditional Shenwei cannon, and there was a light iron wheel underneath, Yang Wenfeng couldn't help but ask Liu Huayun in surprise.

"Yes, this is the handwriting of Lord Liu, if this cannon can perfectly solve the hit problem caused by recoil, it can become an absolute killer in the future battlefield."

This design allows two or three people to easily push the wheels to adjust the angle and quickly reload the shells;

In the future, when the two armies fight, it can save several times or even more than ten times the time compared with the traditional Shenwei cannon, what kind of concept is that?

In other words, if the traditional Shenwei cannon fires one cannon, the new artillery can shoot more than a dozen cannons; Therefore, Liu Huayun had not yet spoken, and Ye Xunxi, who admired him very much, had already spoken.

"Hey~~, this is a big killer, if I refine toluene from coal and oil in the future, and then let it nitrate to make trinitrotoluene;

Grandma's, a round of hundreds of cannonballs loaded with TNT, to hell with whether you are a Mongolian Tartar or a Jurchen Iron Hoof......"

Just when Liu Huayun was infinitely excited in his heart, Yang Wenfeng said with a look of admiration again: "Big brother, you are really powerful, not only are you strong in martial arts, but you can even design cannons......"

"Little ghost, low-key, low-key, big brother is not a person who shows off everywhere."

Liu Huayun knows his own family affairs, he knows the martial arts of a ghost, otherwise he wouldn't have to make any firearms to defend himself, so he hurriedly said with a smile for fear that Yang Wenfeng would publicize it everywhere.

"Oh, I know, big brother, you have hidden merit and fame," Yang Wenfeng stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice.

The role of the Shenji Battalion in Dafeng is to build artillery, crossbows, arrows and other weapons equipped with various armies.

Under Yang Wenfeng's curious gaze, Ye Xun beckoned his subordinates, carried the artillery and the wooden box containing several shells onto the cart, and then gave an order, and dozens of people left the city in a mighty manner.

Of course, after the improved musket, Liu Huayun also wants to play with it, so he will let people bring it with him.

"Lord Liu, this is where we often shoot cannons."

After leaving the city for a small half-pillar of incense, beside a mound full of potholes, Ye Xunxi waved his hand to stop, and smiled at Liu Huayun, who was holding a musket and aiming at the passing birds.

Your sister, shoot cannons, this sounds awkward, even if my brother wants to shoot a few cannons, he won't be with you old men......

While being speechless in his heart, Liu Huayun opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you let the brothers prepare to shoot a few shots at that mound, and I will try the power of this musket......"

Bump~~, with a crisp gunshot, "Big brother, you hit, it's so powerful!" ”

At the same time that the green smoke dispersed in front of Liu Huayun's eyes, Yang Wenfeng had already pointed to the wild duck in front of him and fell to the side of the road.

"Yes, the recoil of this musket is really much smaller, Brother Ye, add a crosshair to this place...... that should improve the hit rate a lot."

Looking at the wild duck that he wanted to shoot in the head, but only hit the abdomen, Liu Huayun said with a faint smile;

Obviously, although he was satisfied with the power of the musket, he was still quite concerned about the problem of hitting.

In Liu Huayun explained to Ye Xunxi, what is the crosshair? By the time it was time to make it, the cannon on the cart had already been lifted to the ground.

"Lord Liu, you can shoot it yourself."

After adjusting the muzzle of the cannon to face the mound and loading a cannonball, Ye Xunxi smiled at Liu Huayun.

"Wen Feng, this first shot is for you, remember to retreat to my side quickly after you finish ordering......"

Liu Huayun glanced at Yang Wenfeng, who was eager to try beside him, beckoned to him, and handed him the torch in his hand.

The little guy nodded, stretched out his hand to take the torch, pressed it against the lead, and then, in the midst of the sizzling, he retreated to Liu Huayun's side.

Boom~~~~, in the violent tremor of the cannon body, a round black flowering bullet the size of a child's skull flew towards the mound in the distance with a roar;

But instead of landing in the potholes, it flew a distance of no less than a kilometer, and roared violently behind the mound.

Your sister, the recoil of this gun is also too strong, and it deviates from the target hundreds of meters away;

I don't know if the shot just now hurt any passers-by who played soy sauce, even if there is no one, it is not good to hit the flowers and plants......

"Yaga, what is this? Damn, who is going to murder this prince. ”

At the same time that Liu Huayun scratched his forehead and thought about how to solve the recoil problem of the new artillery;

On the avenue behind the mound, as the smoke and dust cleared, Akihito Haogong, who was still arrogant, was cursing with an earthy face at the moment.

And those Dongying people who accompanied them, although they were not hit by the cannonballs dozens of steps away, but the violent roar and trembling like an earthquake just now still made them, all of them draw their long knives as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Back to Your Highness, I heard that Dafeng has a divine cannon, just then, could it be their emperor, I heard some rumors, and they want to give us a dismount ......"

The middle-aged waiter who was traveling with the team frowned and thought about it, and said to Akihito Haogong.

"Hmph~~~, Your Highness, don't be afraid, Dafeng's paper tiger is just a bluff, as far as I know, the Shenwei cannon is clumsy, and there is nothing to be afraid of......

With I, Ichiro Tokugawa, here, I will let them lose face today and set off! ”

Hearing that the attendant from the Emperor's Palace had such cowardly words, the bearded middle-aged man with a long knife on his back immediately interrupted them with a cold snort.

Tokugawa Ichiro, who is skilled in ninjutsu and ranks among the top three in the Tokugawa shogunate in terms of combat power, spoke, and the faces of dozens of Toei people were full of perseverance;

It's just that the dozens of people who had just regained their confidence had just walked less than 100 meters when another whistling shell landed on the side of the road where they had stopped before.

After the smoke and dust cleared, and after the earthquake trembled, a large pit half a zhang wide and two feet deep appeared in everyone's sight;

This time, Akihito Konomiya cowered directly behind the carriage, and no longer had the majesty it had at the beginning.

"Baga, these people are too deceitful, go quickly, I want to find their emperor and have a good theory!"

Tokugawa Ichiro rebuked with fire in his eyes, and under his command, the group quickly headed towards the capital.

"Brother Ye, I know what the problem is, the first is that the steel of this cannon is not enough to stabilize the barrel......

And the recoil of this round cannonball is already very strong, otherwise the traditional Shenwei cannon would not weigh thousands of catties, let's find a way to improve it into a conical ......"

I just heard Ye Xunxi say that behind the mound, in addition to the official road, there are large areas of barren grass and bushes, and there are no fields;

And according to this range, it can't hit the road, and Liu Huayun, who is determined, let Yang Wenfeng fire another shot.

Just when he saw the crux of the problem and talked to Ye Xunxi about the improvement plan, a group of fierce Dongying people quickly rushed towards them around the mound.
