I heard that Master Le, who saved Liu Shuai, came to the Ordnance Prison, and many people from the Ordnance Supervision came to watch. One is curiosity, the other is the respect for Lotte, when I heard that this Le Da brought a new gunpowder formula, so that many people are more curious, and I heard that the two gunpowder formulas to test the power, so that many people come to see the excitement.

The meaning of recklessness is overflowing.

During the Renzong Dynasty, Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du jointly compiled a "General Essentials of the Martial Arts"; During the Shenzong Dynasty, Shen Kuo wrote "Tiangong Kaiwu", these two books have made many records of gunpowder weapons, and the officers and soldiers of the ordnance supervision naturally know the power of gunpowder.

Before the gunpowder hand could light the fuse, Lotte began to cover his ears with his hands and began to step back, while Lotte motioned for the official who was traveling with him to retreat with him.

Bang......

Even though he had prepared in advance, covered his ears and walked back more than ten steps, Lotte still felt a little stuffy in his chest, and a lot of dust rushed to his face, and even he felt a little discouraged.

Of course, these are still normal, Lotte is far away and covers his ears, and he doesn't look like he has changed too much, but the head and deputy head of the Ordnance Prison, Lao Li and Lao Zhu, are not so lucky, both of them are covered in mud, and only two eyes and teeth in their mouths are white.

For the scene in front of him, Lotte is also a little incredulous, although he knows the formula of the greatest power of black powder, but he has never really made this kind of thing, obviously the lethality shown in front of him has exceeded his expectations.

Lao Li and Lao Zhu, the two heads of the ordnance prison, seemed to be deafened by this loud noise at this moment, and their heads were also buzzing, and they couldn't hear anything for a while, and even the whole person was stupid, and after a while, the two of them came to their senses.

Seeing the completion of the affairs in front of him, Lotte said lightly: "Lord Li, Lord Zhu, let's try the power of your ordnance superintendent's gunpowder!" ”

"Why not? Could it be that you look down on your own officials? Lotte raised his eyebrows and snorted: "You mean to say that the power shown according to the gunpowder formula given by this official is not as powerful as the original gunpowder formula of your ordnance superintendent?" ”

"Then what do you mean, Lord Li?" Lotte chased after him and beat him hard, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the official misunderstood your kindness, and I think that you, Lord Li, are here to take care of the official's face, and deliberately refuse to show the power of the gunpowder of the Ordnance Supervisor......"

In the Song Dynasty, the Chinese people were the ancestors and parents of the kings and ghosts and gods, but they did not bow to outsiders, so this Lao Li bowed to Lotte, which naturally meant to be convinced.

Ordnance Supervisor Lao Zhu also shouted happily: "With such a sharp weapon, this time when we face the iron harrier of the Xixia people again, we don't need to spend so much effort to build the step armor!" ”

The defeat of Tong'an City is tantamount to a scar on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Huangzhou City, which time Liu Shuai fought with the Xixia people over the years is not a big victory, but this time it is a heavy loss, Huangzhou does not know how many families hang white plain clothes, how many new graves have been added, and how many orphans and widows,

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the power of gunpowder was average, and many generals and soldiers felt that the lethality of gunpowder was average, so they were reluctant to take such a heavy thing on the road.

"What if those shops don't give it?" Lao Li asked hesitantly.

Is this Le Da really a reader? How can you do things more barbaric than people in the army, this method is inevitably a little too harsh, listening to Lotte, Lao Li and Lao Zhu glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.

With a wary look in his eyes, the general asked, "What happened to the Ordnance Superintendent?" Why did you make such a big commotion? This official has been ordered by the commander to come here to watch! ”

After checking and seeing that there was nothing else unusual, General Nada ordered before leaving: "Pay attention next time, don't make too much noise!" ”

"The lower officials will personally check and take all precautions!" Ordnance Supervisor Lao Li hurriedly replied.

Listening to Lotte's question, Lao Li was surprised: "What is a human trebuchet?" As he spoke, he glanced at his deputy, Lao Zhu, who was standing beside him.

Lotte changed the name again and asked, "There is a weapon that can throw stones from the cannon, haven't you heard of it?" ”

It seemed that he was right, and Lotte was busy and said, "Yes, yes!" It's the kind of thing that throws stones! ”

Ballista, also called a manpower stone throwing machine, first appeared in the Warring States Period, because it threw stones, it was called "stone bag" by the ancients, and it was also the "stone bag" used as a sunspot in chess, and was often used as a sharp weapon for attacking and defending cities.

Then Lotte commanded: "Again, you will use an oilcloth to tie up a ball of gunpowder every twenty catties, but add a three-zhang long fuse!" ”

"My lord, what does this second arrangement mean?" Lao Li asked incomprehensibly.

"The next official will live up to the trust of the adults!" Lao Li and Lao Zhu hurriedly replied.
