Chapter 264: I almost hung up

When Zhu Di and Zhu Song rushed to the test site of the Arsenal Clearance Division, the soldiers of the military department had already prepared five Hessian artillery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The artillery was just over four feet long, half a man high, and all of them were pitch black.

All five guns were lined up, and the swarthy muzzles pointed diagonally at the sky.

Although these cannons are just dead things, when people look at them, they look like evil tigers. It makes people unconsciously produce a feeling of palpitations.

"Well, how is this cannon a little different from what I've seen before?"

Zhu Di hurriedly took a few steps forward, gently stroked the swarthy barrel with the thickness of an adult's thigh, and continued:

"The muzzle of this cannon seems to be thicker than the previous artillery, and this color has all been painted black by you, although it looks quite bluffing, but I don't know how powerful the current artillery is compared with the previous artillery?"

Zhu Di's words were full of suspicion, but those tiger eyes were full of essence.

It was as if he had really seen how these cold artillery pieces crisscrossed the battlefield, and how they killed the enemy like a bag.

Although he heard the suspicion in Zhu Di's words, Zhu Song grinned as he looked at his cheap fourth brother, groping up and down and studying the five cannons:

"Fourth Emperor Brother, look at what you said, Qianyuan was able to use the power of artillery to sweep the iron hooves across the countries of the Western Regions, and our artillery is much more powerful than Qianyuan's artillery."

"Brother Song, you often say, 'Hearing is false, seeing is believing.'" You just talk about it, but you don't let your brother see it, how do you want your brother to believe it? ”

Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Zhu Song, and slowly threw out this sentence:

"Besides, are you bullying your brother and not understanding artillery? If this cannon has no ammunition, it is useless here, and it can't be wielded even as a stick! ”

"The Fourth Emperor Brother Shao'an is not impatient!" Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Di with a smile, and then said to Qi Sihai, who had been following him: "Go, bring the cannonballs." ”

"Yes!"

Qi Sihai responded and ordered a few soldiers to move the boxes.

In a dozen or so breaths, a dozen soldiers, in groups of two, came carrying three heavy-looking boxes.

Squeak!

Case open:

These were two boxes of swarthy shells, and the remaining one, half covered with small lattices like black watermelons, and the other half with small five-inch sticks, one third of which had wooden handles, and the rest of which looked like a cylindrical thing.

"This ...... Are these things the ammunition used to fire this artillery? Why are there three kinds of them? ”

As Zhu Di spoke, he picked out a small stick with his hand at random, held it in his hand and observed it for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved, and he carried this small stick upside down and made two strokes on the muzzle of the artillery.

"Well, grenades, I didn't expect this thing to be researched by the Ministry of Industry!" Seeing the things in Zhu Di's hand, Zhu Song's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"What grenade, isn't this thing a shell? Also, why is there a ring on it? Zhu Di curiously lifted the grenade, and subconsciously pulled the small pull ring with his right hand.

Laugh at!

The fuse of the grenade was ignited, and white smoke began to smoke with a snort.

Zhu Song's eyes were straight, if this thing exploded here, the whole box of shells under his head would not be able to blow up this place? When the time comes, they won't even have a single hair left!

"Damn!"

Zhu Song muttered a sentence in his mouth, and appeared in front of Zhu Di with a wrong footstep, snatched a grenade that would pull off the fuse, and then threw it fiercely in front of him.

"Brother Song, what are you ......" Zhu Di turned his head to look at Zhu Song, not understanding why Zhu Song would make such a rude move.

Thundered!

Before Zhu Di finished speaking, the sky shook for a while, and the grenade exploded directly in the open space in front of him.

On the ground seven or eight feet away, a pit more than seven feet wide and more than a foot deep appeared there, and the rich smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Zhu Di looked at the pit not far away with a shocked face, and then looked down at the boxes, only to feel a cold sweat that was shocked.

If this thing really exploded here, then he, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would be the emperor who reigned for the shortest time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Song, Brother Song, what is this thing called?" Zhu Di shook his head violently, and said to Zhu Song with a shocked face: "As far as I know, this artillery and other weapons seem to be ignited, right?" So, why didn't this thing go off without igniting it? ”

Zhu Song wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead and said, "This is called a grenade, do you remember the ring you just pulled?" That ring is the equivalent of an ignition device, as long as the ring is pulled off, after four or five breaths, the grenade will explode. ”

"Oh." Zhu Di nodded, pointed to the other half of the box, something like a black watermelon, and said, "Then what is this?" ”

"It's called a landmine." Zhu Song said: "As the name suggests, a mine is a mine in the ground, this thing is buried in the ground, as long as a person steps on it, it will explode." As for its willy, it's about as powerful as that grenade. ”

"This, this is simply a weapon of conquest!" Zhu Di widened his eyes and said, "If there are these two kinds of gods during the Battle of Jingjing, where can you fight for so long?" ”

Blame me?

Zhu Song rolled his eyes in his heart, and simply ignored him, but said to Qi Sihai: "Lord Qi, let's try the gun!" ”

Qi Sihai nodded, hesitated, and said, "Long live, although it has undergone some transformation, this artillery still has some recoil, and please step back two feet with His Royal Highness King Han, so as not to hurt your dragon body." ”

Without saying it, Zhu Song had already pulled Zhu Di back several steps.

"All the soldiers listen to the order, prepare!"

After the two brothers retreated two zhang, with Qi Sihai's order, those soldiers all moved, began to move the artillery, adjusted the gun position, and aimed at the long-range target thirty zhang away.

The long-range target is a hard boulder, just a whole piece of about a square circle, and the pestle is thirty zhang away, and the target is very large, and it is easy to be hit.

"Put!"

Qi Sihai stretched out his hand and pointed at the boulder and roared loudly.

"Boom!"

The shells were reloaded, and all five guns were ignited at once.

Immediately afterwards, the roars of anger resounded through the sky like thunder, and the whole city of Nanjing seemed to hear the sound of this turbulent thunder.

"Boom!"

One after another, the cannonballs slammed down on the solid boulder.

The powerful shock wave generated when the gunpowder burst directly smashed the boulder into small pieces, and with it, it also blew out a crater five or six feet deep, which was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke. (To be continued.) )
