Chapter 32, there is a kind of you cut your own little JJ!
In the eyes of the barbarians, if a person or a man is skilled in archery, good at archery, and beautiful with a scimitar and can kill people and beasts, then he is definitely one of the best warriors in the tribe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info on the outside is absolutely a god to kill God, invincible existence, and then egg:
The corpses under Fushun City were piled up like a mountain, and the barbarian army of the Qibi Heavenly Wolf surrounded Fushun City for three days and three nights, except for the initial killing and killing of more than 1,000 Han troops, there was no gain after that. On the contrary, after He Kegang strengthened the bunkers on the city wall, all kinds of firearms of all kinds wrapped up and killed the attacking barbarian warriors like a big net.
The barbarian cavalry in the distance bombarded with Shenwei cannons, the barbarians who rushed to the city wall quickly bombarded with fire guns, the tiger squatting and artillery bombardments closer to them, and the ten thousand enemies and fire guns that were climbing the wall were bombarded together, all kinds of booms and booms. Barbarian warriors will be hit from all angles as soon as they charge, and they will either die or maim if they are hit or affected.
Such a crackling fight, to be honest, He Kegang is quite distressed, the fight is all money, a large amount of money, more than the cost of organizing cavalry to go out to fight with the barbarians.
In this era, the efficiency of building firearms has always been very low, and advanced production concepts such as assembly line operation and scrap elimination rate have not yet been introduced, not to mention the key to the success of all firearms: gunpowder.
1. Nitrate is the main raw material for the preparation of gunpowder, and its purity has a great impact on the power of gunpowder. There are three main processes:
(1) Put natural saltpeter in sweet water (i.e., fresh water without impurities) for dissolution, and remove the granular impurities such as sediment after preliminary precipitation.
(2) Use a certain amount of egg white and carrot as adsorbate, put it in a nitrate solution and boil it many times to adsorb the dregs and saline-alkali components in it, and then fish it out with a claw fence
(3) Put the water glue into the nitrate solution purified by the first two steps of the process and boil it again, and then pour the nitrate solution into the porcelain urn to cool and solidify, so that the waste water floats on the urn, the mud sinks to the bottom of the urn, and the pure nitrate is in the center.
After the above three-step process, only 30 catties of pure nitrate can be taken for every 100 catties of natural nitrate, and the purified pure nitrate is white crystalline.
2. The purity of sulfur has a great influence on the explosive power of gunpowder. There are four main processes:
(1) Mash the natural sulfur block to remove sand and impurities.
(2) Put the mashed sulfur into a large pot and boil it with fresh water, remove impurities and pour it into a porcelain basin to precipitate for one day, then remove the sediment and obtain crude sulfur
(3) According to the ratio of 10 kg of crude sulfur, 2.5 kg of butter and 1 kg of sesame oil, put the crude sulfur into the mixture of butter and sesame oil and decoction, so that the oil is not sticky and sulfur, and then add cypress leaves to the pot and cook with sulfur to absorb the black dregs in the pot.
(4) Put the coarse sulfur removed from the slag into the boiling oil and boil, wait for the yellow foam on the oil surface to cool in a basin after the yellow foam, and finally remove the yellow foam and impurities on the surface to obtain pure sulfur without slag and degreasing.
After the above three-step process, the purified sulfur is lemon-colored lumpy crystals.
3. The quality of charcoal powder can affect the combustion rate of gunpowder. There are basically two processes:
(1) Material selection: The charcoal used in military gunpowder needs to be made of wicker before and after the Qingming Festival. Wicker in other periods is generally not used, because the quality of charcoal powder made from it is not as good as that made of wicker before and after the Qingming Dynasty.
(2) Remove the wicker with straight and uniform branches, remove the skin and knots, seal and dry naturally, and then make charcoal to make powder.
The charcoal powder made by the above-mentioned two-step process is smokeless because of peeling, and there is no resin when knotting, so as to improve the combustion speed and anisotropic uniformity during combustion, enhance the instantaneous burst force, and the gunpowder prepared is the high-grade gunpowder. If you don't use wicker to make charcoal, fir ash and eggplant ash can also be replaced, but the quality of the gunpowder produced is inferior.
4. Preparation process of gunpowder
(1) The nitrate and sulfur carbon after refining and purification are put into a stone mortar or wooden trough and repeatedly pounded many times according to the different requirements of the gunpowder produced, and then put into a stone mortar or wooden trough according to the different formula proportions to make it fine.
(2) Put the washed nitrate and sulfur carbon powder into the wooden mortar in proportion, and then add a small amount of water or shochu to make the mixture wet mud, and then pound it thousands of times with a wooden pestle. It is strictly forbidden to mix sand and gravel during the pounding process to avoid fire. When the mixture will be dry, add water and pound again to make the mixture uniform and delicate, and then take it out to the sun to become a finished lump of gunpowder.
(3) Carry out quality inspection on the finished bulk gunpowder, such as burning a part of the sample on the paper, burning up and the paper is intact (or putting the sample in the palm of the hand to burn, and the palm of the hand does not feel hot after burning) is a qualified product, otherwise it is a non-conforming product.
(4) Granulation: The gunpowder blocks that have passed the inspection are broken into granules, and the large, medium and small gunpowder particles used in cannons, Franc machines and bird guns are screened out with different coarse sieves, and the non-granular ones are used as the fire gate to ignite the gunpowder, and the remaining fine powder gunpowder is all removed.
Gunpowder Formula:
(1) ****** for birds: 75.75% nitrate, 10.6% sulfur, 13.6% carbon
(2) ****** for artillery: 75% nitrate, 12.5% sulfur, 12.5% carbon; nitrate 72.7%, sulfur 13.65%, carbon 13.65%; 71.4% nitrate, 14.3% sulfur and 14.3% carbon.
(3) Fire gate medicine: nitrate 63.5%, sulfur 14.3%, carbon 22.2%.
"It's all money! NND, anyway, the heads of the barbarians can be exchanged for money, let's fight! The more you fight, the better, it's best to kill the wolf of the king, copy his nest, and grab a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to pay off the gunpowder money! The corners of his eyes twitched, and He Kegang said "angrily".
He Kegang knew very well that the killing of tens of thousands of barbarians with almost no damage was something that he would never have dared to think of before. Although the Han army was well-equipped, it was far behind the barbarians in terms of equestrian and combat skills, the quantity and quality of cavalry, and the Han infantry had to be three times more than the barbarians in the field to ensure the defeat of the barbarians. The cavalry has always been less than the barbarians who are all soldiers, and with their excellent armor and sharp weapons, they can barely fight a tie with the same number of barbarian cavalry.
If the Han army was to face the barbarian iron cavalry head-on, it would be difficult to win without paying huge casualties, not to mention the long time and huge energy required to train an excellent cavalry. Therefore, in He Kegang's opinion, the current method of firearms against barbarians is very cost-effective although it burns money.
"Ahh A **** barbarian strong man with a **** upper body took advantage of the cover of the horse, and finally rushed to the vicinity of Fushun City, and before he had time to climb the cloud ladder, he was targeted by dozens of firearms, and countless iron sand directly tore through his skin and pierced into his body like a poisonous needle. The strong man's upper body was blurred with flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground screaming, losing too much blood and dying.
Around the strong man, more barbarian warriors were hit by artillery and firearms, and their bodies were directly torn into several parts. For most of the barbarian warriors, this is actually a very enviable way to die, at that time they died without experiencing any pain, most of them were concentrated by the iron sand and gunpowder of the gun, and they were seriously injured but did not die for a while, without any treatment, without any assistance, they could only endure the severe pain while waiting for death.
Behind them, the cavalry and archery troops that suppressed the Han army at the head of Fushun City were bombarded by the Shenwei cannons, and the continuous horse teams were hit by artillery, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered in all directions. Some barbarian cavalrymen and horses were hit on the spot by the large iron ball fired by the cannon of General Shenwei, and the huge iron ball directly smashed them into a cloud of blood mist, and there were no bones left.
Their companions were affected, and their arms and arms were smashed off by the rolling iron ball, and they fell from their horses wailing, and were trampled into flesh by the hooves of the horses that followed. And their arrows could no longer pose the slightest threat to the defenders of Fushun City, and they themselves suffered heavy losses.
From sunrise to sunset, He Kegang stood at the head of the city and observed through the clairvoyant mirror, the entire Fushun City had changed its appearance on all sides, southeast and northwest, and the radius of five miles, and the corpses of countless barbarian warriors fell to the ground in such and such postures, spread there like a huge carpet of flesh and blood!
At this time, Fushun City lost a total of 1,500 people, including 800 wounded, all of whom could return to the battlefield to kill the enemy after being healed!
"When the barbarians face our firearms troops, they will have the feeling of a tiger biting a hedgehog and having nowhere to put their mouths. At this time, Brother He, you remember to tell the Qibi Heavenly Wolf to say a word: "After reading the battle report, He Kegang hurriedly asked the soldiers to find a loudspeaker for him, and Meng Qiu specially made a "strategic weapon" for him.
On the Barbarian side:
"Great Khan! We have already lost more than 24,000 warriors, and we will not be able to defeat Fushun City even if we all die like this! Listening to the report of his subordinates, the wolf's eyelids jumped, and the whole person was like a tiger in a cage, with sharp claws and fangs, but he could not hurt the opponent, but was beaten all over the body by the opponent's guns and artillery, and was dying.
"Could it be that the Great Han has been blessed by the gods? What should I do? With a sad face and a long sigh to the sky, the wolf was decadent.
"Celestial wolf! I can't help it! Panic! There's a kind of you cut your own little JJ! At this moment, a voice speaking in the barbarian language was heard, and it resounded throughout the land.
"Poof!" The wolf's face turned red, his eyes widened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
