Chapter 280: Vest Chills

There is no wall that cannot be knocked down by one cannon, and if there is, then two. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If there are still them, then ten cannons and twenty cannons.

The two medium-sized bronze cannons hit a three-pound iron ball, while the two general's cannons hit a five-pound iron ball.

Chen Jincai heard such a thing in modern times.

It is said that a small car was speeding at a speed of 120 miles on the highway when it crashed into a fist-sized rock thrown by a madman on the side of the road.

And then it turned out to be terrible, the rock went in through the windshield, through the driver, through the wife in the back seat, and then out of the back of the car.

It can be seen that under the high-speed movement, even a small stone has great power, let alone a 3-pound 5-pound iron ball.

When a few shells broke through a thick layer of concrete, a large crater appeared in the wall of the wall.

In the concrete jungle 900 years later, there are people who beg for a living, and their job is to hammer the concrete pieces that wrap the waste steel bars on the construction site.

After the concrete fragments are thoroughly crushed, they are taken to the waste steel bars wrapped inside.

Those scrap steel bars are their source of livelihood, and their tools are hammers.

And keep knocking, knocking at a point, just to break the cement block.

So now even these cannonballs can only do a little damage to the city wall, but they are already much, much better than trebuchets.

The main thing is that this thing is accurate, and the error will be reduced to forgiveness in the hands of well-trained soldiers of the Peace Valley.

This is much better than the trebuchet's luck.

So the result was obvious, and after more than a dozen shelling in a row, that section of the wall was in ruins.

"Oh my God! With all these artillery, what city in the world can stop their progress? ”

An old master shook his head and sighed.

"yes, with all these artillery, those so-called walls are a joke." An old master sighed.

But there seems to be a dissenting opinion, even if the power of this artillery is enough to shock people's hearts.

This person was Zhao Ji's guard commander, and he could see the shortcomings of this bronze cannon at a glance.

"But this kind of artillery is only used to siege the city, he only has one projectile, and he can only shoot one at a time, even if it is powerful, it can only be used against dead things like the city wall.

If it is in the wilderness, as long as the army is scattered, then it will not take advantage of it.

It only takes two shots to rush to him, and under the sea of people, this kind of thing is just too loud and scary.

And there's a big downside to it, it's heavy!

This kind of thing, because it is too heavy, must be difficult to move, and in the process of moving, it is difficult to resist external attacks. ”

What he said was very insightful and very pertinent, and he seemed to be a big old man, and he could see the shortcomings at a glance.

But is that really the case?

If this were all there is to it, the artillery of later generations would not be called the god of war.

"Joke! In our Valley of Peace, artillery is called the god of war, and you think we solemnly took out these artillery just to make you see a joke?

If that's what you really think, you're very wrong.

Now let's take a look at the hideous lethality of the artillery! ”

A petty officer in the Peace Valley sneered after hearing what the guard commander of the Great Song Dynasty said.

"You wait until the smoke from the ruins of that wall clears and then look behind."

What does it mean to wait for the smoke to clear and look behind?

This little officer, who speaks without beginning or end, makes people feel like they are confused.

However, the smoke from the ruins of the city wall was, after all, just the dust raised by the cannonballs that blew down the city wall, and it dispersed very quickly, so it was easy to see what kind of scene was behind it after the dust had settled down a little.

People were surprised to find that there were many cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs tethered behind that section of the original city wall.

What do you mean?

But a lot of people, you see!

I just want to use those cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs as a target to test the power of the artillery, so that everyone present can see clearly and understand how powerful this artillery is, and can it be called the god of war?

When the little officer saw that everyone present understood what the scene was in that place, he smiled and ordered.

"Now I want you to see the power of solid bullets."

"Wipe the barrel!"

"Bottom medicine!"

"Load the projectile!"

"Aim ahead, scale five, ready, set!"

Now the test shot is a solid projectile, and there are 3 catties and 5 catties, but in fact, the results are almost the same.

Some people may see that this is a solid projectile and think that this thing is a dozen, that is, one.

In fact, this thing is ruthless, if you hit those places where the enemy is dense, if you hit the crowd, it will be shot over, and you can run a bloody road through the crowd.

And this bloody road, if it is not an exaggeration, as long as it can move, it is generally possible to jump forward for 20 meters after landing on the ground.

That is to say, if it has enough kinetic energy, it will plow a blood path of about 20 meters in the crowd.

Now the herd of pigs, cattle and sheep in front of you is like this.

A cannonball, which hit a lamb very accurately, directly smashed the poor lamb into pieces.

But it didn't end there, the projectile didn't stop after smashing the lamb to pieces, it bounced forward after touching the ground, and all the places it passed directly behind were smashed to pieces.

Seeing the river of blood, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect such a small projectile to cause such a big damage.

Seeing the stunned crowd and the soldiers of the Peace Valley looking at each other and smiling, they were very proud.

"Is that all? If that's the only way to do it, then on the battlefield, as long as the opposing side's soldiers are scattered, it won't be of much use. ”

Although the commander of the Great Song Royal Guards was also shocked by the power of the artillery, he still felt that the title of the god of war was exaggerated.

He insisted that the most important thing was to disperse the forces to avoid the threat of this artillery to a large extent.

"Is that really the case? Okay, then we'll show you the power of the other side of this artillery! ”

So said the petty officer of the Valley of Peace, who quickly commanded the soldiers to wipe the chambers of the guns, load them with primers, and then load them with projectiles.

However, this kind of projectile is very unusual, there is actually a small hole on it, and a line is revealed from the small hole, which is the lead.

"Look closely! This is a flowering shell, which contains 2 catties of high-strength gunpowder, and half a catty of steel balls in the gunpowder!

Now for you to open your eyes, reload, and prepare...... Put! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A few roaring cannons rang out, and then in the herd of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, a few hideous fireworks exploded.

It was the fireworks of death, and when people saw the miserable situation of the fireworks in full bloom, the vests chilled
