Datong, this is not the first time Zhu Sanle has entered Zhou Huchen's workshop.

I have to say that this workshop has opened Zhu Sanle's eyes. There were no idle people in the workshop, and everyone was busy nervously, but in the winter, the blacksmith wielding a hammer bare-chested, the craftsman who sat on the ground assembling a firecracker, and the person who meticulously tended to the kiln. No matter who it was, these people were busy working in their own hands, ignoring Zhu Sanle's arrival.

There were the most blacksmiths in the workshop, and the sound of clanging bells was noisy, but Zhu Sanle enjoyed it very much. can finally do something, even if it is the very simple job of guarding the workshop, Zhu Sanle is content, because this is doing things for Zhou Yuji. To put it bluntly, Zhu Sanle is a die-hard fan of Zhou Yuji, and this handsome man with rare defeats is the god of war in Zhu Sanle's mind, and he is the target of Zhu Sanle's pursuit.

Just as Zhu Sanle was patrolling around the workshop with his hands behind his back, a group of people and two carriages attracted his attention.

Chen Shouye, the owner of the workshop, his son Chen Xing, Zhou Mo, Hou Yuanshan, Liu Wenjin, and Zhou Qian, one hundred households in the artillery camp, the most important people in the workshop actually followed the carriage.

Zhu Sanle greeted him, and everyone knew this conscientious General Zhu. Zhou Qian was the first to open his mouth to greet him, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to greet him.

After greeting everyone, Zhu Sanle was quickly attracted by the four horses: "What is this?" How does it feel so scary? ”

"Your Excellency, this is artillery, and my subordinates and others are going to test the artillery." Zhou Qian replied:

It's a little scary, not only is the cannon frighteningly big, but the gun carriage that carries the cannon is even more scary. The gun carriage was more than a foot long, and probably more than four feet wide. What shocked Zhu Sanle the most was that the entire gun carriage was made of iron, not only the criss-crossed and unknown components were made of iron, but even the wheels were shining with a cold metallic luster.

It's totally a steel behemoth, how can it not be scary.

This young marshal is too extravagant, he actually uses iron to make a gun mount, although this gun mount is very powerful, is the wood available different, Zhu Sanle feels too wasteful!

"Go together, go together! General Ben looked at the young marshal's Hongyi cannon. ”

In fact, no matter how Zhu Sanle looks at this mighty artillery, it doesn't look like the Hongyi cannon, it feels a little too thin and too long, but Zhu Sanle can't describe this artillery, so he can only call it the Hongyi cannon.

Zhu Sanle had seen the small artillery produced in the workshop shooting, and the power was still fresh in his memory. There is no difference between the huge cannon in front of me and the Hongyi cannon, with the comparison of small artillery, it is difficult to imagine what kind of power this super-large cannon will be, it is worth looking forward to!

Zhou Huchen seemed to trust this Deputy General Zhu very much, and everyone had nothing to hide, so in this way, the group followed the carriage out of the workshop.

Not far from the barracks is the bleak wilderness, and in winter the wilderness is desolate, and as far as the eye can see, there is not the slightest trace of people in the wilderness.

Although there were no people to be seen in the wilderness, several cavalrymen symbolically rode around the wilderness for safety.

The placement of this steel behemoth is simple, remove the harness and lead the horses. Subsequently, under Zhu Sanle's curious gaze, several people started at the same time, and the carriage that was originally four-wheeled became two-wheeled. The wheels in the back turned out to be detachable movable wheels, although this is not a particularly surprising design, but it is enough to make Zhu Sanle impressed by this "Hongyi cannon".

As a veteran general in the army, Zhu Sanle still has some understanding of artillery, and powerful artillery such as Hongyi cannon and general cannon are synonymous with bulkiness. If this easy-to-move "Hongyi Cannon" is really powerful enough, Zhu Sanle began to imagine the scene of using the "Hongyi Cannon" in the field, which is simply crazy.

At this time, under the command and participation of Zhou Mo, several soldiers began to fix the artillery.

It was still a shocking scene, the artillery was placed too quickly, and a few simple iron chains connected to the iron pegs were fixed.

Zhu Sanle couldn't understand that this kind of "Hongyi cannon" weishenme does not dig pits to fix, does not dig pits, and the strong recoil of the Hongyi cannon will make the artillery seriously out of the gun position, and it will take a very long time to reset.

Thinking about it, Zhu Sanle also knew that his duty was to guard, and he couldn't control the production and various experiments of the workshop, which was also Zhou Huchen's special explanation before leaving.

"Reload." In a short period of time, the elevation angle of the artillery had been adjusted, and Zhou Mo immediately gave the order.

Zhou Mo was the commander of the artillery test firing, and under his command, the soldiers quickly cooperated with the tacit understanding to load the gunpowder, tamp it, and then fill it with a large projectile, and the loading was completed.

"Withdraw!"

In general, artillery test firing is dangerous. Although Zhou Huchen has repeatedly said that he will not blow up the chamber, Zhou Mo also agrees with Zhou Huchen's statement, after all, this is a cannon cast by his own hands, and he knows what the quality is. But just in case, people still have to stay away.

Everyone began to evacuate one after another, and Zhou Mo stuffed a long fire rope into the fire door, put in the primer, and then took out the fire medium.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

Zhou Mo was talking about Chen Xing, this guy who has never been very talkative didn't go back, he calmly watched Zhou Mo prepare from the side.

"It can't be blown up, this is a combination of steel and copper, this gun carriage was made by my supervisor, and the recoil is estimated to be not too large, let alone traverse."

"Well, in that case, you are responsible for looking at the cannon after I light the arquebus, so that you can see more clearly by looking closely." Zhou Mo assigned tasks to Chen Xing while blowing the fire medium.

Chen Xing ignored Zhou Mo's teasing of him, and just watched Zhou Mo put the fire medium on the fire rope.

subsequently

Zhou Mo ran as soon as he lowered his body and spread his legs

Things are far from being as simple as Zhou Mo thought, Zhou Mo was a little helpless to find that there was a person who ran faster than him, as fast as an angry little antelope, and Zhou Mo couldn't catch up no matter how he chased him.

Of course, Chen Xing would not stand there stupidly, his starting and running speed was faster than Zhou Mo, because he was younger.

Zhu Sanle just watched the two of them run over with all their might, one after the other, and at this time, a huge muffled sound came out.

Those staring at the artillery could clearly see that the artillery mount in the distance shrank back sharply.

I just felt that the ground trembled a little, and the sound of cannons in the sky echoed for a while, and just like that, the test firing of the artillery was completed.

Watching the dust around the artillery slowly rise, Zhou Mo suddenly asked, "Did anyone see the projectile go out?" ”

"Back to my lord, I out." One of the soldiers hastened to reply:

"How far is the estimate?"

The soldier looked at Zhou Mo and hesitated for a while: "You can go and find it!" ”

"Then go and find it, you are responsible."

Zhou Mo and a large group of people rushed to the artillery, while several soldiers went to look for the projectile that was shot somewhere.

The gun carriage is still there, except for a slight displacement, it is intact, as for the gun chamber, there is no problem, Zhou Mo tried it with a putter for a long time and didn't feel anything unusual.

"Sure enough, as the young marshal said, it doesn't matter if you reload twice as much gunpowder, it's just like that!"

Looking at Zhou Mo, who spoke amazingly, Chen Xing: "How much gunpowder have you loaded, is this a new type of granular gunpowder for the first test firing, Made, you madman!" ”

Zhou Mo glanced at Chen Xing disdainfully: "Is it more powerful if the gunpowder is enough to shoot far?" Didn't you try it at night? ”

Chen Xing: ""
