"Boom!"

With a loud bang, I saw Zita hook the trigger of the Eight Bull Crossbow with a giant axe, and pressed it with all his strength, and the three taut giant bows flicked forward at the same time, transmitting the strength to a long and thick tendon string, and together with the suddenly tightened tendon string, a giant arrow more than five feet long was ejected forward, and it seemed to draw an arc in the air, and finally landed more than 600 meters away, next to a large wooden target two meters square.

Zita looked back at Chen Dexing: "Big brother, it's still a little off." ”

Chen Dexing held up a finger and shook his head, then pointed ahead again, telling Zeta to wait. At this moment, a muffled bang came, and I saw the huge arrow that landed next to the wooden handle in front of me exploded, turning into an orange fireball. This is the result of the deflagration of two and a half catties of ** filled in the giant arrowhead!

"Let's go and see how the fragments are scattered," Chen Dexing waved his hand, beckoning Qi Ta and the blacksmith to walk forward, and Qi Ta Dao as he walked, "This kind of explosive giant arrow can't just be made by our Thunderbolt Navy, go back and send the sample drawings and samples to the Fusi Yamen and hand them over to Senator Liao." All parts of the country are made courtyards, and the weapons in Lin'an are blacksmiths, and if they are allowed to work together, tens of thousands of iron pipes can be made a year. ”

This is indeed not blown! The Southern Song Dynasty was definitely the world's factory in the 13th century, and its advantage was even greater than when China was once again the world's factory in the 21st century. At this time, half of the world under Mongol rule was desolate, and although there was no shortage of skilled craftsmen, the overall output was not worth mentioning compared to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Beyond the Mongol Empire, Europe was still in the dark Middle Ages, two hundred years before the Renaissance. The splendid civilization of Arabia has been destroyed and ravaged by the iron cavalry of the Mongols to the point of collapse. Only India, ruled by the Sultan of Delhi and a group of Hindu kings, was relatively productive. But it can't be compared with the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Fight gunpowder, fight steel, we are not afraid of Tartars! Some of us are craftsmen, some are iron, and some are gunpowder. How many are there on the Tartars? Now there are not necessarily 10 million people in the Northland, and how many craftsmen can make iron and gunpowder? ”

Chen Dexing had already arrived next to the wooden target that had been erected, looked around, and then stretched out his hand and pulled off a small piece of iron from the wooden target, and said proudly: "Don't underestimate such a fragment, if you don't take it out in time when you enter the human body, even if it doesn't hurt the vital point, it can kill people." If we fight with the Tartars and throw bombs at each other, bombard each other with firearms, plough the court and sweep the caves, and seal the wolf's mountain, it will be just around the corner! ”

When the war really entered the era of black medicine, most of the Tartars in this world began to move towards tragedy, and became the object of crushing and bullying by civilized people with developed industry and commerce. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the end of the Ming Dynasty! However, Chen Dexing does not think that the Southern Song Dynasty is as scummy as the Southern Ming Dynasty.

In fact, whether it is political, economic, or military, the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the enemies they encountered were too powerful and murderous. If the wild boar skin met the Southern Song Army commanded by Jia Traitor, the old hero of this Manchu compatriot should have been shot into a hedgehog by the divine arm crossbow when he was in Sarhu. The army of the Southern Song Dynasty was even killed by the Mongol Khan, who was known as the whip of God!

Chen Dexing threw the small piece of iron to the ground, as if talking to himself: "At least before sending troops, we have to get a thousand iron pipes from the privy minister, and we will build another five or six hundred by ourselves, with these five or six hundred rockets that will explode, it will be difficult for Meng Ge to return to Mongolia alive." ”

……

"Jinju sulfur 14 taels, wo sulfur 7 taels (also sulfur), flame nitrate 2 and a half catties, sesame mushroom 1 tael, dry paint 1 tael, starch 1 tael, bamboo mushroom 1 tael, yellow dan 1 tael, yellow wax half a tael, clear oil 1 point, tung oil 1 tael, pine resin 14 taels, concentrated oil 1 point."

Inside a huge tent, a certain demon girl seemed to be running from a restaurant to announce the menu, and announced a long list of strange names - this is actually a gunpowder recipe! It is different from the Yeluzi gunpowder formula taken out by Chen Dexing and Ren Daoist, which is the authentic gunpowder formula recorded in the official compilation of the Song Dynasty in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts".

"Great Khan, that's it." The demon girl looked proud, "This is recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and the gunpowder in our Great Mongolian Army is also prepared in this way. ”

The Great Khan listened for a long time with his mouth open, and he didn't understand what Li Cuixian was talking about - the menu reported by Li Cuixian, oh, the list of gunpowder ingredients is all in Chinese, and there are not so many nonsense words in Mongolian.

"Liu Heima, Brother Wang Tian, is this the recipe?" The Great Khan asked as he called out the names of two of his most trusted Han generals.

The one named was an old man and a middle school, both dressed as Mongolian nobles, wearing fur hats, sharp eyes, and the middle-aged man looked very strong and strong, almost no less than Chen Dexing, full of explosive energy. These two are Liu Heima, the most warlike and loyal of the Mongolian Han army princes. Liu Heima is an old man, about sixty years old, his father Liu Bolin was originally a military general of the Jin State, and later surrendered to Genghis Khan, and Liu Heima himself has fought for the Mongols all his life, and now his beard has turned gray and is still leading the army to fight.

Brother Wang Tian is that middle-aged, formerly known as Wang Dechen, and "Brother Tian" is the name given by the Great Khan of Ogedei. He is 38 years old this year, but he has been fighting the Song army on the Sichuan front for 17 years. It's just that he was defeated by Yu Yu Yunshan fourteen years ago, and his third brother Wang Zhichen was damaged. Later, he was favored by Kublai Khan and Meng Ge, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army in northern Sichuan, and managed northern Sichuan for the Mongols.

When the two Mongol lackeys heard the question of the Great Khan, they immediately stepped forward and saluted with both hands on their chests. Liu Heima had a high status, so he replied: "Great Khan, it is indeed this recipe, but it seems that the gunpowder made with this formula should not be as powerful as Li Qianhu said, and please check it out with Great Khan." ”

The Great Khan glanced at Brother Wang Tian, who immediately said: "Great Khan, as far as the minister knows, the gunpowder used by the Song army in Shu is also made with a similar formula, and it is not as powerful as Li Qianhu said. Maybe the Song people have something more powerful gunpowder, which is the reason why Marshal Yeliugan was really defeated! ”

Brother Wang Tian is worthy of being a famous general who has been fighting with the Song army for more than ten years, although he did not witness the battle of the Yangtze Bridge, but with Li Cuixian's description, he found the key - the Song army has a more powerful **.

Brother Wang Tian turned his head to look at Li Cuixian again, "Li Qianhu, have your people ever picked up a heavenly thunder on the battlefield that didn't explode?" Song Jun and our iron cannons are not necessarily going to explode, and the same is true for this thunder. ”

Li Cuixian just shook her head and said with a look of annoyance: "I forgot about it!" Alas, at that time, I only cared about grabbing the hair stone, and I didn't expect that there would be a thunder that would not explode! ”

The Mongolian Great Khan's brows tightened slightly, as if he had thought of something very unpleasant, but he covered it up again in an instant, and just smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, just let it be found out." The Song people's courtyards and weapons are similar to sieves, as long as they don't hesitate to pay attention to gold and silver, what can't they inquire about? Maybe even the gunpowder makers can buy a few. ”
