When they heard Yan Siqi say that this cannon could hit a target a mile away, these people in the courtyard all showed a look of disbelief, and someone immediately said: "Third Brother Chen, are you talking nonsense!" Can this cannon hit that far? And even on a ship, you can hit such a long target? Who will believe this when it is said! ”

A chorus of voices immediately sounded in the courtyard, and almost everyone didn't believe what Chen Xun said.

After hearing this, Chen Xun blushed, and swore to the sky: "Don't you know who I, Chen Xun, are? You can eat this tomorrow, but have any of you ever seen me talk about it?

This is what I saw with my own eyes on the ship, when I went to Nanri Island a few days ago, I thought the price they offered us was too high, Yu Dangjia was specially for me to see the power of this cannon, that is, this cannon was used, right under my nose, across a mile of the sea, the minions on the sea wolf ship, only fired two cannons, and hit a reef a mile away, if I tell nonsense, let me go out to sea to feed the fish! ”

Someone teased next to him: "The reef you are talking about is probably the size of an island!" Ha Lu Ha! ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Chen Xun's face was even more anxious, his face was black and red, he almost stammered when he spoke, and waved his hand: "Absolutely not!" I, Chen Xun, have also been on this sea for so long, how can I not see how big things are? The reef was about the size of a boat at best, or how could I have promised them that price? ”

There were still people in the crowd who didn't believe it and wanted to continue joking with Chen Xun, but they were stopped by Yan Siqi with a wave of his hand, Yan Siqi looked at Chen Xun Zhengse and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Seriously! There is no such thing as a fake! Otherwise, my big brother will cut off my head! Chen Xun replied with a sworn nod.

Yan Siqi's brows twisted up again, he gasped, turned around with his hands behind his back and stared at the six-pounder cannon behind him, the courtyard was quiet at this time, everyone looked at Yan Siqi, and then looked at the six-pounder cannon, and gradually many people showed a frightened look on their faces.

Two days later, in a secluded place in the easternmost part of Yan Siqi's Dazhai, a group of people were busy setting up a few cannons, tossing and turning for a while, and finally finished loading the cannons.

Yan Siqi walked to the side of the tiger squat cannon, looked at the cannon carefully, and then looked at a large wooden plank dozens of steps away from the muzzle of the cannon, and then nodded.

Someone came over and held a wooden stick wrapped around the fire rope, the fire rope had been lit, and carefully put the fire head to the fire door, only to hear a bang, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and in an instant there was a crackling sound on the wooden board in front of the muzzle.

After the smoke cleared, Yan Siqi immediately led everyone to the front of the big wooden board, which was fixed on a large wooden frame, and at this time, a large area in the upper left corner of the wooden board had been smashed by a sealed door, missing a corner, and the rest of the place was densely covered with some small holes.

In addition to loading more than 100 finger-sized gravel, this tiger squat cannon is also stuffed with a solid cannonball with the same inner diameter as the barrel, which is called a sealed door, to block the chamber, so as not to deflate too much when the gunpowder explodes, which can increase the power of some shells.

After looking at this big wooden board as a target, Yan Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said: "This tiger squat cannon is indeed more powerful than the one we used before, it is loaded with the same medicine, but it is farther than the tiger squat cannon we used before, and the power is a little greater, and it seems to be more accurate, this cannon is indeed well cast, go back and try that exterminating cannon!" ”

Then they all returned to the place where the cannon had been erected, and gathered around a cannon of extermination, which had already been loaded.

The weight of the exterminator cannon is more than double that of the Tiger Squat Cannon, roughly about 100 catties, and the chamber of the cannon is also a little larger than that of the Tiger Squat Cannon, which can be loaded with more scattered or solid bullets at a time.

With the sound of a cannon, the large wooden plank that was the target was instantly torn apart, and even the wooden frame made of it collapsed, and the sawdust flew everywhere.

Yan Siqi's smile became a little stronger, and he nodded again and again: "Good cannon!" It's a good cannon indeed! Terrible! The craftsmanship of this sea wolf craftsman is truly amazing! Hit it accurately! Next, let's look at this little Hongyi cannon! ”

When Yu Xiaotian delivered this cannon to Chen Xun, he did not give Chen Xun the kind of four-wheeled gun carriage used by the sea wolf, but replaced it with a fixed wooden gun mount, but Chen Xun did not have any opinion on this.

Under Chen Xun's "guidance", everyone finally loaded the six-pounder cannon, adjusted the elevation angle according to the cat's drawing, and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at a large mound of earth a few hundred steps away.

"I haven't played with this thing, can I hit it this far!" Someone asked Chen Xun uncomfortably.

Chen Xun didn't play with this thing either, but when the sea wolf handed him this cannon, he gave him some introduction to how to use this cannon, but Chen Xun only learned a little bit of skin, and he didn't know whether he could hit that big mound of dirt or not, but he was still quite confident in the range of this cannon.

"You can hit it, and you can definitely hit it farther, but if you can hit it, that's another story, to be honest, I've seen the minions of the sea wolf let go of two shots, whether I can shoot accurately, I don't know the bottom!" Chen Xun is honest and honest.

Yan Siqi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry so much about it first, let's see if you can hit that far, as for whether you can hit accurately or not, that's a matter for later!" ”

Everyone hurriedly dispersed under Chen Xun's beckoning, and someone leaned over and put the fire pestle on the fire door at the end of the cannon.

Listening to the roar of the boom, the six-pounder gun jumped violently on the ground, because the gun carriage was fixed and there were no wheels, and all the energy of the recoil was directly transmitted to the ground through the fixed gun carriage, which almost knocked the gun carriage over and frightened everyone.

But everyone didn't care about this at this moment, and they all quickly stretched their necks and looked towards the big mound in the distance.

Because the shells flew far away and the muzzle velocity was fast, it was difficult to see the shells in flight, so they could only observe the impact point of the shells, and before the smoke dispersed, the sharp-eyed people had already seen a cloud of dust rising from the ground more than a hundred steps in front of the mound, and the cannonballs fell far away from the mound, so everyone immediately booed.

Even Yan Siqi's face collapsed, and someone immediately sneered at Chen Xun: "This is not as powerful as you blow!" How did you only hit so far? Although it is true that it is farther than the exterminator, it is not as far as you say! ”

Chen Xun's face suddenly turned red again, and he shook his head and argued: "It's no wonder that this cannon is because we won't use it, this cannon really hit far away, do it again!" Raise the muzzle of the cannon higher, it must have been too flat just now! ”

Yan Siqi held back his anger, nodded and asked everyone to hold up the gun carriage, this time the muzzle of the gun was raised much higher, but when it was reloaded, there was trouble, these cannons of the sea wolf are equipped with various auxiliary poles, which are all kinds of special tools, some are equipped with iron hooks like screw corkscrews in front, some are wool brushes in front, and there are two, as well as thick wooden sticks in the front and thin in the back, and the cannon is equipped with a kettle.

Chen Xun only roughly learned a little bit of the technique of manipulating the cannon, but because of the nervousness, the procedure was a little chaotic, and he was in a hurry, and he took everyone to toss and turn, and he reluctantly reloaded the cannon.

After the second cannon sounded, everyone once again turned their eyes to the large mound in the distance, and everyone held their breath and watched the situation near the target, but they did not see the landing point of the shell, and some people immediately wanted to shout, asking if the shell was stuck in the barrel.

Before anyone could shout, a man suddenly pointed far away and shouted, "See! See! Flew over! Damn, fly so far! ”

Everyone hurriedly followed the direction of his finger and looked farther away, only to see a cloud of dust raised in the distance, far beyond the large mound they had preset for two or three hundred paces, no wonder they didn't see the landing point of the cannonball just now, it turned out that the cannonball flew too far, and the landing time was delayed a little.

At this moment, everyone exclaimed, no one doubted the range of this cannon anymore, including Yan Siqi also smiled, and the haze in his heart just now was suddenly swept away.

"Good fellows! Terrible! It's really far enough! Ha Lu Ha! It's a pity that you guys, no one will play with this thing, it seems that although this guy is good, if he can't use it, it will be in vain! But no matter what, this cannon is really good, it seems that Chen Xun is not bragging! Yan Siqi opened his mouth and smiled.

Chen Xun felt that his face was shining at this time, and he hurriedly nodded and shouted to the surrounding brothers, "How is it? You've seen it too! I'm not blowing it, this cannon is powerful, this is not the farthest hit, if the muzzle of the cannon is raised higher, it can be farther away! If you don't believe me, just try it! ”

Everyone was amazed at the range of this cannon at this time, and they all nodded to try again to see how far this cannon could hit.

But Yan Siqi raised his hand to stop their commotion, and said: "That's it, don't try how far it can hit, no matter how far it hits, it won't hit anything, it's still in vain."

This cannon is to be used on a ship, so let's try the power of this cannon! Come on, go a hundred paces away, put a few more thick planks, stack the planks, and see how thick the cannon can penetrate! In the future, this cannon will be used to bombard other people's ships, how can it be done without trying this? ”

As soon as everyone heard it, what Yan Siqi said made sense, so they hurriedly began to prepare, at a distance of about 100 steps from the cannon, they erected a log shelf here, on which five large wooden planks about two inches thick were superimposed, and then the muzzle of the cannon was flattened, and after aiming for a long time, it was estimated that there should be no problem, and then the cannon was fired again.
