One of the attendants stepped forward and began to shake the handle, and the wheel spun faster and faster, at which point the other attendant pulled a mechanism on the rack.

The iron balls in the iron box were thrown out one after another, about thirty or forty zhang away.

Suddenly, six explosions rang out ahead.

Baili Wuji was stunned on the spot, oh my God, who made this thing? Is there anyone who, like himself, does not belong to this era?

No, I've never seen anything like this myself.

grabbed Bailiren and shouted hoarsely: "Tell me quickly, who did this?" “

Baili Ren was very surprised by Baili Wuji's reaction, this was not a surprised expression at all.

Not daring to hide it, Bai Liren replied: "Da Lang, didn't you set up a research and development team in the local armory workshop?" They said that it was immature at the time, one is to throw out the iron ball, and the other is that the iron box will often get stuck in the iron ball, and it will not be thrown out. But now, these problems are solved. “

"By the way, Da Lang, they say that the distance of the iron ball is related to the speed of the wheel, and the faster it turns, the farther it is thrown, and the farthest can reach fifty zhang away. This time I brought six, and six carts of iron balls. “

Baili Wuji was speechless.

I asked them to develop an ordnance that could throw firearms farther than people, and the original intention was to inspire them to build a cannon, but I didn't expect to create such a monster.

But I have to say that this thing is really useful, at least when he is defending the city now, he will definitely exert the power of his long-range firearms.

It is said that the creativity of workers is infinite, and Baili Wuji has deeply realized at this moment, in the absence of any data to learn from, the use of centrifugal force, with pure manual throwing of iron balls out of the gang, this is really too creative.

Baili Wuji turned his head and said to Bailiren: "Does this thing have a name?" “

"No, please give it a name."

"Okay, let's call it a cannon."

"By the way, does the armory still have a good wheel cannon?"

"No, there are only seven in total, one was damaged during the test, and I brought the rest. The craftsmen said that this thing was not complicated to make, and that one could be built in two days, and when I came to Chungju, I had already instructed them to continue making it, and I thought that one or two should be built by now. “

"Good." Baili Wuji nodded. "You go back now, as soon as you arrive in Padang, order the transport battalion to send the wheel guns in the warehouse overnight, and if there are a few of them, count a few planes, and not stop for a moment."

"Yes." Bailiren breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Da Lang is still satisfied with this thing.

"By the way, after you go back, reward those craftsmen, and all those who participate in the manufacture will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and let them continue to develop, I will draw a picture for you here, and you can bring it to them."

"Yes."

"Then how many people are in the entourage who will operate the wheel cannon this time?"

"There are four of them."

"Leave them all for me. There you go. “

……。

"Someone. Spread the word to me. “

After a short break.

"Ayi, I order you to quickly send these six wheel guns and ammunition here along with the four operators, and hand them over to Yundu with your own hands."

Baili Wuji pointed to the map and said to Bailiyi. "And this letter. Take your sword battalion with you, be vigilant on the road, go and return quickly, and do not stop for a moment. “

"Da Lang, what is Brother Yun doing there? Have a secret mission? “

"Get out."

"Yes."

Watching Baili Yi retreat, Baili Wuji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

With these six wheel guns exerting their power, Yun Yang's chances of success in the blocking battle have increased a lot.

It's time to get back to the city defense.

All mines have been laid out and resupply of firearms has been put in place.

It would be nice if there were six more wheel guns, four on the west gate and two on the north gate, so that the chances of defending the city would be greatly increased.

Bailiren, it's up to you.

Three days later.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June.

The scout came to report that Han Jixun led an army of 30,000 troops to camp fifty miles near Zhongzhou City.

Hehe, the Shu army is well-behaved, and they actually camped fifty miles away, and it seems that the prestige of the Black Flag Guard still has a deterrent effect on them.

Baili Wuji ordered the scouts to step up reconnaissance.

At this time, it was night, and the Shu army came from afar, and set up camp, and it is estimated that it will not attack the city today.

However, Baili Wuji still arranged two battalions to patrol and guard at the west and north gates respectively.

In the early hours of the next morning.

The scouts reported that the Shu army had arrived thirty miles away from the city of Chungju.

Baili Wuji ordered Yu and Ma to lead their troops to the west and north city walls to garrison respectively.

After counting the breaths.

The scouts reported again that the Shu army was camped twenty miles from the city of Chungju.

Baili Wuji stood on the tower of the West Gate City and looked at it from afar.

The 30,000 Shu army waved their flags, and the black pressure was like a big black block, solemn and heavy.

Baili Wuji clearly felt the sense of coercion of that momentum.

I think the psychological pressure of the Black Flag Guard soldiers will not be light.

The first battle must be won, otherwise it will be more difficult to defend the city in the future, and this battle must overwhelm the opponent in momentum.

The Shu army moved.

The big black block began to split into two streams.

One points to the west gate, and the other points to the east gate, but it is clear that the one coming towards the west gate is thicker.

From the beginning, the Shu army put on a two-sided attack.

Baili Wuji judged that the Shu army's attack this time would not be a real attack, and under the prestige of the Black Flag Guard, he would go all out as soon as he came up, which didn't make sense, and there was not much time to think carefully about it between the battles.

Baili Wuji didn't think about it anymore and gave an order according to his instinct.

In this battle, no mines and firearms were allowed to be used in the defense of the two gates, only bows and crossbows were allowed.

If the Shu army is really attacking, then it will fight the enemy at the head of the city.

Baili Wuji knows that if it is really a decisive battle at the head of the city, then the battle damage of the Black Flag Guard will be a lot, but there are not many cards in his hand, and he can only use it on the blade.

The offensive of the Shu army began.

The two Shu armies launched simultaneous attacks at the west and north gates.

The ladders were carried up by dozens of Shu troops.

Rushing trucks followed.

There are also the soldiers of the Shu army who are all over the mountains and fields and swarming up under the leadership of General Zuo.

For a time, the shouts of killing outside Chungju City shook the sky.

On the city wall of Zhongzhou, the Black Flag Guard soldiers watched the advance of the Shu army coldly.

One hundred zhang.

The four slings of the Shu army began to throw.

Huge rocks whizzed past with hissing air currents.

The momentum is absolutely intimidating.

If you hit the wall closely, it's a pit.

Far away in the middle of the city's dwellings, it would be a disaster.

Falling stones pierced entire houses, and the splinters of stone splinters that hit the ground killed every living creature within a radius of several kilometers.

But the accuracy is really not complimentary.

It was fired again, but not a single stone fell on the wall.

Fifty zhang.

Twenty zhang .......

Order.

Two battalions of bows and crossbows began to diffuse.

Locust-like arrows flew overwhelmingly towards the Shu army.
