Chapter 635 Artillery

"Boom!" An earth-shattering bang rang out in a corner of Yangzhou Industrial Park.

"This, this, this!" There are several important people in Yangzhou, including Xu Shu, the minister of the interior, Lu Su, the secretary of the ministry, Zhuge Liang, and even Mi Zhu, the secretary of the household department.

Now everyone is under the leadership of Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, watching this Yangzhou's secret weapon.

After waiting for this loud noise to end, there was a stunned person, because the small hill in front of him as a target was directly blasted out of a pit, and those wooden target scarecrows had already been swept away.

"How's that!" Liu Mang said to everyone with a smile.

"Three miles?" The distance between the wooden target on the side of the Lusu observer and himself and others is 1,500 meters, three miles, in other words, 1,500 steps. This distance, to be able to hit such a distance, what kind of weapon is this?

Lu Su originally thought that the bed crossbow was all of Yangzhou, you must know that when he Lu Su was working in Jiangdong before, he was captured by the bed crossbow, but now even if Yangzhou has achieved the third generation of bed crossbow, but Lu Su knows that no matter how many generations of bed crossbow is compared with this copper pimple in front of him, it is completely scum. The current range of the bed crossbow is only 700 steps, but this cannon can shoot 1,500 steps.

"Haha, three miles, this is just my thousand cannons." Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Two hundred gold!" The Hubu Shangshu Mi Zhu on the side also spoke, and as soon as his mouth opened, it was naturally money, and the bronze cannon in front of him was piled up with money, and the barrel of this bronze cannon was a thousand catties of copper. Copper represents money. How many copper coins can this thousand catties of copper be made? A thousand catties is equivalent to two hundred gold.

This is the thousand-honorable cannon, and the three-thousand-honorable one is six hundred gold, plus the cannonballs and those gunpowder, the cannon's rack, the cost of a thousand-honorable cannon on a war horse must be between three hundred and fifty gold and four hundred gold, and the price of a three-thousand-honorable cannon is higher, at least a thousand gold, which makes the penny that has always been picky, how can Mi Zhu, who has always been picking, want to open it for two documents.

So as soon as he heard that the lord Liu Mang was going to build this cannon, Mi Zhu immediately vetoed it. What kind of cannon do you build, it is better to recruit more troops and buy horses, now a war horse is only ten gold, even if it is transported from Liaodong to calculate the freight and loss, it is only thirty gold and a war horse, a thousand cannons can buy ten war horses, and a three thousand can buy dozens of horses, how many cannons do you need to form an artillery battalion, I am afraid that you can establish another heavy armored cavalry, but when Mi Zhu saw the scene in front of him, Mi Zhu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Although those targets are scarecrows, those scarecrows are wearing heavy armor made in Yangzhou. This kind of heavy armor is not good, but now it is priceless on the black market.

Because the heavy armor of the Yangzhou army is not only good-looking, but also very practical, and the defense ability is very strong, which is much better than that of other princes.

But with such a heavy armor, it is simply vulnerable to this thing called a cannon.

Those wooden targets were all scattered, and the iron armor was torn apart, if this was a real person, the death would be a little too miserable.

"Zifang, are these cannons worth a few hundred gold?" Liu Mang said with a smile to this Sherlock.

"Value!" Mi Zhu's face was cloudy, and said that he was worth it to this cannon to Mi Zhu, this thing, if it was so bombarded in front of the enemy, who could bear it, but he was not good, Mi Zhu knew Liu Mang's plan, this thousand cannons are 500 pieces, even if you have 300 gold, 500 guns are 150,000 gold, and the 3,000 cannons are 100,000 gold, and the front and back add up to 250,000 gold, where to take out so much money!

Although this Yangzhou is rich, it can't stand such flowers. So Mi Zhu is distressed.

"Don't worry, Zifang, with these cannons, are you still afraid that you won't have money!" Liu Mang patted Mi Zhu's shoulder and comforted this Sherlock, as the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, Liu Mang is to use these cannons to sweep the princes in front of him one by one to the corner of history, no one can stop him Liu Mang from unifying the world, he has no money in Yangzhou, so he will rob the money, go to those rich places to rob.

was said by Liu Mang, Mi Zhu's face was a little better.

But it's not much better, and I almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, "I decided, these thousand cannons have a thousand, and these three thousand have three hundred!" Liu Mang waved his hand, what is this cannon, this is a thermal weapon, with this cannon, he Liu Mang will be able to attack the world, and he is the precedent of thermal weapons.

"Poof!" Mi Zhu's face turned pale again all of a sudden.

'Zifang, Zifang, what's wrong with you? Mi Zhu's face became ugly, "Doctor, doctor! Mi Zhu was quickly taken down, and the doctor said that he was fine, but he was frightened.

"This thing is called a cannon!" Zhuge Liang is much better than others, he still looks like the sky is not shocked, but that's just the surface, you don't see Zhuge Liang's feather fan was taken upside down by him.

Never, never seen such a thing, ballista, stone thrower Zhuge Liang has seen, even the bed crossbow he has seen, but this thing called a cannon Zhuge Liang has really not seen it, which completely subverts Zhuge Liang's tradition.

If this thing is used to bombard the city wall and the city gate, what kind of city wall can hold it, there is no need to give him twenty more cannons like Zhuge Liang, 5,000 elite soldiers, as long as he establishes a camp outside the enemy's city, and bombards the enemy's city day and night, he doesn't need to send troops to fight, and the enemy is afraid that he will surrender.

With this thing, you don't even need to use intrigue and trickery, and you can drop ten times with one force. Zhuge Liang thought about it the other way, what if the enemy attacked him with this thing called a cannon? Zhuge Liang thought about it and could only shake his head, if under the same conditions, there is no effect except for going out of the city and fighting to the death with the enemy, the storage of this cannon will make the city useless.

"Lord, lord, that, those three thousand, three thousand cannons, want, don't look at it!" Ma Jun on the side looked at this group of big people in Yangzhou who were shocked by their masterpieces, and he was very proud.

"Yes, naturally!" Liu Mang said to Ma Jun, a thousand cannons, three thousand cannons, these are what Liu Mang wants, the reason why he made a cannon first is because the cannon is a little easier to make, as for the musket, Liu Mang doesn't want it, but he also knows that it is impossible for a person to eat a fat man in the city at once, and the cannon can be made roughly, because his weight is there, as long as the copper is piled up on it, but this musket is not good, the musket is a fine job, so wait for the cannon to be formed and then used.

"Three thousand cannons!" Liu Ye shouted to his subordinates, and soon a cannon that was many times larger than before was pushed up.

The big guy in front of him is about three meters long, his caliber is 110-130 mm, and his weight is about three thousand to four thousand catties. On the side of the cannon there was a slight carving of a hideous lion on it, as if it were about to tear the enemy apart.

"Clean the chamber, put the medicine, put the projectile!" These actions are all taught in the books that Liu Mang brought back.

To clean the gun chamber, it is to send out the air in the gun chamber, but also to make the inside of the gun chamber a little cleaner, and there is no burned gunpowder to clean him out, so as not to explode.

Put in the gunpowder, which is the propellant, and the projectiles are just some iron lumps, and after putting them down, use a long stick to put the propellant and the cannonball in place.

"Ignition!" Soon a large torch was taken. Liu Mang and the others naturally want to stay away from this 3,000 cannon, where is the lesson from the past, no one can completely guarantee that this cannon is safe, so for the sake of safety, everyone is still hundreds of meters away.

Fortunately, the telescope has been popularized in the Yangzhou army, so one person took it out and looked at the scene over there.

"Boom!" The three thousand cannons really did not disappoint Liu Mang, this time the target of the three thousand cannons became a small city wall paved with bricks and stones, and even used cement to reinforce him, but the result was that the cannonball was directly bombarded with a cannon.

"Two thousand five hundred steps?" It's another amazing number, the number of thousands of cannons just now is 1,500 steps, which is already terrifying, but now there is another 2,500 steps, this is simply, this is simple, Zhuge Liang and others don't know what words to use to describe it, the creation of heaven and earth, this is simply the palm thunder of those immortal methods written in the book into reality.

For the first time, Zhuge Liang was really glad that he had chosen the right lord, if this was an enemy, Zhuge Liang didn't know what to use to deal with it, because he hadn't seen this thing.

"Haha, haha!" Liu Mang laughed, "It's him, it's him!" Make me a thousand, eight hundred! “

"The lord can't, no!" Mi Zhu over there struggled to come over, and immediately jumped up when he heard Liu Mang's words, if he built 1,800 doors, he wouldn't let people live.

"Lord, although I am rich in Yangzhou, I can't get the money of this thousand eight hundred doors!" Mi Zhu has always thought that he is a loser enough, the original Mi family is known as Xu Banzhou, which means that the Mi family's money can buy half of Xuzhou, but it is only about 100,000 gold.

Now this lord Liu Mang is much more likely to be a loser than his Mi Zhu, if his lord is a loser, then he Mi Zhu is really a representative of diligence and thrift. (To be continued......)

PS: The artillery has appeared and pushed horizontally, but it is still far away! Shuangwen is still far away! It's the end of the month, robbery! Ask for red envelopes, ask for rewards!
