Early in the morning, the righteous drum sounded again, but it was not very urgent.

The newlyweds are inevitably a little greedy for bed, and when Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang came to the Juyi Hall, all the leaders had already arrived.

Chao Gai is not a good woman, so although her family is wealthy, she did not marry a concubine, let alone raise an outer room like Song Jiang.

Before Chao Yong got married, he got up early to practice martial arts, but after he got married, he no longer had the same diligence as before, Chao Gai naturally saw it in his eyes, and felt that his son was greedy for flowers and sex, and it was not a good man's behavior, but the two had just gotten married, and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that the two of them actually fell behind Ruan Xiaoqi, they couldn't help frowning

Chao Yong naturally saw Chao Gai's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly took two steps behind Chao Gai.

Chao Gai shook his head, and then said: "Fang Cai is the righteous drum that General Ling beats, and now that everyone is here, General Ling will say it if he has something to say." ”

Ling Zhen got up and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the young village master told me the gunpowder recipe given by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, and I have now prepared some gunpowder according to the prescription and made a few cannons, so please come and see the power of the new artillery." ”

Everyone had already seen the power of Ling Zhen's cannon before, although it was a little unstable, but the power of one or two cannons occasionally was enough to make everyone tremble. At this time, hearing the successful trial production of the new gunpowder told by Chao Yong, they couldn't help but become more curious, the previous artillery was not manpower-resistant, and the new artillery given by the Nine Heavens Xuanniang didn't know how powerful it would be.

Chao Gai was also full of awe of the artillery and the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and immediately led the leaders to the back mountain.

Chao Yong was very confident in the black powder that Ling Zhen had prepared according to the modern formula, and asked his own soldiers to get a few pieces of iron armor and leather armor.

Modern black powder blending ratio chemistry class has been popularized, and it can be said that everyone knows it. However, without a suitable projectile tool and without the help of professionals, Chao Yong did not dare to make black powder before, after all, the purity of each raw material is a problem in the first place, and if there is no suitable purification process, even if he knows the formula, he will not be able to make black powder. Coupled with the danger of the test process, Chao Yong has been waiting for Ling Zhen, a professional gunner, to go uphill.

After getting married, Chao Yong found Ling Zhen to inquire about his gunpowder formula, and when he asked, he found out that there were more than a dozen kinds of artillery gunpowder ingredients that Ling Zhen had concocted.

Among them, Jinzhou sulfur 14 taels, wohuang 7 taels (also a kind of sulfur), flame nitrate 2 and a half catties, Ma ru 1 tael, dry paint 1 tael, fixed powder 1 tael, bamboo basket 1 tael, Huang Dan 1 tael, yellow wax 1 tael, clear oil 1 point, tung oil 1 tael, pine resin 14 taels, concentrated oil 1 point.

Chao Yong immediately told Ling Zhen the recipe of the later generations, and Ling Zhen was also very suspicious when he heard that only saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal could be made into gunpowder.

However, he had just joined the gang, but Chao Yong was the master of the young village, and he swore that it was the formula given by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, and Ling Zhen also had to hold the idea of wasting a few catties of raw materials, and endured the pain to prepare a new artillery.

Everyone came to a clearing in the back mountain, and Chao Yong commanded his soldiers to bring some stones, and put leather armor and iron armor on the stones respectively.

Ruan Xiaoqi watched Chao Yong personally check whether the iron armor was trapped, and couldn't help but doubt: "Brother Yong, you don't think that the artillery can blow up the iron armor, right?" ”

Chao Yong kicked the stone, feeling that it should be about the same weight as a person, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the stones in this iron armor will be blown in half, okay, let's retreat into the distance first." ”

After walking a few steps, he saw Ling Zhen holding a head-sized cannon in his hand, which probably weighed five or six pounds. The shell has been changed from the original paper shell to the iron shell that he confessed, but the lead on it is not long, and he can't help but wonder: "You're not going to throw it over, are you?" ”

Ling Zhen looked at Chao Yong strangely and said, "Yes, it has always been like this." ”

Chao Yong originally thought that Ling Zhen would take a long lead, and then hide in the distance and ignite it, but he didn't expect him to throw it all.

Fortunately, he didn't develop a powerful black powder, otherwise he would have died in the experiment.

However, Ling Zhen probably also felt that the power of gunpowder would not be very great, so he kept using this method to test. However, Chao Yong, who came from later generations, knew how powerful the real black powder explosion was.

Chao Yong saw that Deputy Ling Zhen was just holding the other two cannons that had been prepared, and there was no lead, so he had to say, "How far can you throw it?" ”

Although Ling Zhen is a gunner, he has also learned martial arts, and his strength is not small, so he said with a smile: "Four or five zhang." ”

Chao Yong couldn't figure out how powerful Ling Zhenxin's artillery was, but out of insurance, he still said: "I'll throw it, everyone retreats to thirty zhang away." ”

Ling Zhen was puzzled: "Could it be that the artillery is so powerful?" ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but for the sake of safety, it's better to retreat farther, and next time you try it again, it will be much safer to prepare some long leads." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "It's so far away, how can you see the explosion of artillery?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "When the explosion is over, we will check what the iron armor and leather armor have been blown into, and if you stand close, I'm afraid we will have to check your appearance then." ”

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Everyone saw Chao Yong's solemn appearance, and he had the name of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and they all retreated into the distance at once.

Chao Yong walked to about fifteen zhang away from the iron armor, lit the fuse, and threw it towards the iron armor pile.

As soon as he threw away the artillery, Chao Yong covered his ears and fell to the ground.

"Boom"

As soon as Chao Yong lay on the ground, he heard a violent explosion, and a circle of dust scattered from the explosion, and the stones covered with leather armor and iron armor were directly blown into the air.

Chao Yong felt a shock wave when he lay on the ground.

"Bang"

A piece of rubble smashed into the dirt a foot in front of Chao Yong's head.

Chao Yong got up and looked at the gravel that was several inches deep into the soil, cold sweat instantly dripped from his forehead, if he took one less step, this stone would probably fall on his head.

Chao Yong wiped his cold sweat and said secretly: If there is a test in the future, he will definitely hide far away. Turning his head to see that everyone was stunned, he couldn't help but shout: "It's okay, let's go and see the power of the artillery together." ”

This time, someone spoke faster than Ruan Xiaoqi, Ling Zhen was woken up by Chao Yong, so he shouted as he ran forward: "This is the thunder, I didn't expect the power of gunpowder to be so great." ”

The other leaders also walked with incredulous faces, and before they could get closer, they saw a large crater formed at the center of the explosion.

Walking up, Chao Yong couldn't help but wrinkle his nose at the smell of gunpowder in the air and the scorching smell of leather, but Ling Zhen smelled the gunpowder in the air with some enjoyment, jumping into the pit and feeling the traces of the artillery explosion.

Lin Chong picked up a piece of iron armor and sighed: "With such a murder weapon, I'm afraid that those who practice martial arts will be useless." ”

Hu Yanzhuo also sighed: "Don't say that flesh and blood, even the iron-armored chain horse can't stop it." Such artillery should not appear in the world. ”

Chao Yong looked at the leaders who were deeply hit, and said with a smile: "This artillery can only be fired by a catapult, and it is just a sharp weapon to attack and defend the city. Moreover, it is still difficult to get a large amount of raw materials, so I still have to rely on the leaders for the battle of Liangshan. ”

Lin Chong was also shocked by the huge power of the artillery at first, and when he heard Chao Yong's words, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Yong is right, it is really rare to use a stone thrower in field battles, and others don't have the strength to throw it so far." ”

Chao Yong wanted to tell them that there would be a grenade in the future, but he didn't know how the fuse of the grenade was made, so the idea could only be buried in his heart.

Through Ling Zhen, he also learned that a person holding a small cannon, lighting it with a torch on the battlefield and then throwing it out is really too lacking to be a surname. At this time, the Zhao and Song dynasties already had less powerful thunderbolt fireballs, but because of the lack of horses, they did not equip the army on a large scale.

(This chapter sets the tone for the use of artillery in this book, which will only be used to siege and defend the city, and will not be used on a large scale, and there will be no real artillery.
