Chapter Ninety-Six: The Killer Feature

The Flying Thunder Cannon is also called the Conscienceless Cannon. In many historical Xiaobaiwen from the starting point, this is a big killer. In fact, the power of this thing is indeed a great killer. And the theory is simple, and the manufacture is simple.

It can be called an explosive projectile, and it bears some resemblance to the early heavy mortars, with a large elevation angle, a shorter range, but an incredible power. In the original history, this weapon was originally used against enemy fortresses, then used to siege cities, and finally showed its magic on the Huaihai battlefield.

How thick the barrel is, how big the caliber is, and the strong explosive impact generated by the huge explosive package will blow up everywhere it passes, pillboxes, people and horses. Many of the enemies who were blown down often did not find any wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from seven holes and were shocked to death. After figuring out this situation, Guojun simply called this kind of thing a "conscienceless cannon".

This thing made by Chen Ming is much weaker than the real flying thunder cannon, first of all, in terms of range, the distance of 150 meters to 200 meters is shortened compared to the genuine flying thunder cannon, which can exceed 100 meters, but it rarely exceeds 130 meters; There is a certain chance that the explosive package will not explode or have various problems, and the effect will not reach the ideal state anyway; In the end, the Chen family built an iron bucket and reinforced it with an iron hoop. But an iron bucket can be fired at most five times, or even three times to be safe, and any more will be dangerous.

The explosives bag fired by the flying thunder cannon weighed more than 10 catties, and the amount of gunpowder was one-quarter of the explosive package. It takes 20 catties of black powder to be used in one launch, which is definitely a big and amazing amount for Chen Jiajun, who is seriously lacking a fixed source of gunpowder. The explosives bags are all wrapped in silk, who makes this thing waterproof and breathable.

Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. The Chen family worked hard to create the Flying Thunder Cannons, not to let them rust in the iron village, but to let them have a huge effect. Now is the time for the Flying Thunder Cannon to make its debut!

Chen Hui brought twenty-five flying thunder cannons and a hundred specific explosive packs from Tiezhai.

The monoculars looked at the Qing army camp opposite, Chen Hui was worried and hopeful, Chen Ming opened another way for him, but the premise is that he must break the 'predicament' in front of him, otherwise everything is delusional.

Today, Chen Ming is going to perform for him how to break the 'predicament', and Chen Hui can't settle down in his heart. He was nervous for a moment, agitated for a while.

In the space of three days, there were more than 100 shield carts in the open space between Tumenji Fort and the Qing army camp, and they were like small hills that completely covered the Chen Jiajun soldiers who infiltrated it. The performance for many days has relaxed the vigilance of the Qing army on the north shore against Chen Jiajun a lot. Today, Chen Jiajun began to attack and harass as usual, and the Qing army was also happy and relaxed, and the two sides were fighting back and forth very lively. Although not a single person was injured and bleeding.

They didn't know that in the middle of the night, Chen Erbao led his two hundred elite cadres to lurk in the shield car array, and they didn't know that there was a thick flying thunder cannon hidden in the shield cars. And after the calm Tumen Fort, thousands of Chen family troops were ready to fight.

"Beep ......"

A sharp whistle sounded. Chen Erbao, who had been hiding in the shield car array for a long time, was shocked, he knew that this was the signal to open the cannon, and he also knew that this was the prompt tone for them to prepare for the fight.

Chen Ming stood on the Tumen Fort, and felt that with the blowing of the two whistles, the atmosphere in the shield car array below suddenly became different. He felt that it should be his own psychological reaction, and suddenly felt that the shield car array in front of him was murderous.

"Boom, boom, boom......" a series of explosions. One by one, the flying thunder cannon showed its strong minions.

Strands of black gunpowder smoke rose in the shield array, and the tumbling explosive packets fell towards the Qing army camp at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Ming did not assign any fixed-point removal tasks to the flying thunder artillery troops, which was too unrealistic.

The flying thunder cannon is like a smoothbore gun, with a range of 100 meters, and the deviation is so large that it can break through people's imagination.

Wu Shixiong stood up suddenly, "bang bang bang ......bang" A series of loud noises were obviously explosions, at least fifteen or sixteen, so many cannons from the Chen family thieves?

But the shock in Wu Shixiong's heart hadn't turned around enough in his mind, and a series of explosions that were many times louder made his ears deaf. Wu Shixiong felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, and he rushed out of the big tent, and saw the entire large battalion and the small 3,000 men and horses scurrying around as if the camp had been bombed, and the order of the army completely collapsed in this instant......

"Lord Kyodai, Lord Kyodai ......"

Wu Shixiong's personal soldiers grabbed him, "Hurry up, hurry up...... Wu Shixiong didn't see the huge power of the flying thunder cannon in the camp tent just now, which can be said to be a bug in this era, but this personal soldier was guarding outside, he saw with his own eyes that the thick gate of the camp instantly turned into a very thorough and complete fragment under the Chen family thief's shot, and saw the huge pit a hundred meters away in front of the big tent. All the people in the three or five zhang radius have finished playing.

The power of the Flying Thunder Cannon is really beyond the imagination of people of this era. Otherwise, the Qing army camp was just hit by a round of flying thunder artillery, why did it all collapse? Although there is also a reason why the proportion of militia groups and villagers is too high, which lowers the overall quality of the defenders in the Qing army's camp. But collapse is collapse.

When the Flying Thunder Artillery crew carried out the second round of shooting at the fastest speed, Chen Erhu, who had already touched the front of the shield car array, raised his broadsword and rushed straight towards the Qing army camp with the two hundred capable people behind him.

"Attack-" Chen Ming shouted loudly. After the first round of bombardment by the flying thunder artillery, the big drum at the head of the Tumen Fort sounded, and the thousands of recruits behind the Tumen Fort rushed towards the Qing army camp with a roar under the leadership of some veterans. You can no longer see a trace of fear or hesitation on their faces. Last night, the recruits, who were still faintly afraid of the officers and soldiers, were like tigers and dragons going down the mountain and going out to sea one by one, and regarded the Qing army as a chicken, tile and dog.

The collapse of the Qing army and a series of explosions like huge thunder made the morale of the Chen family army high to the peak.

This is the killer weapon in Chen Ming's hands. If it weren't for the flying thunder cannon to press the bottom of the box, how could Chen Ming delay the time for so long, and waited until the exact news of the Qing army's reinforcements before deciding to defeat Nanyang Town in front of him.

Flying Thunder Cannon, this kind of simple cannon fire with huge gunpowder consumption and absolutely huge power, is Chen Ming's magic weapon to sweep everything. As long as the Qing army is entangled with the Chen Jiajun on the front line of the Yinma River, the relatively narrow horizontal plane here is a natural advantage to maximize the power of the flying thunder cannon.

No amount of flesh or blood is vulnerable in front of the Flying Thunder Cannon. This is a weapon beyond people's imagination in this era, not to mention invincible, at least during the time it was first used, Chen Ming couldn't think of any way for the Qing army to resist.
