However, although the old cannon was replaced by the pirate group, it was repaired by the blacksmiths, and its power was not much inferior to the new one. 35xs

It's just that the life span of its use is indeed a hard injury!

At this time, when Yefeng and his party stopped a little because of the high temperature and heat wave in the blacksmith shop, the people in the blacksmith shop also discovered Yefeng and them.

After a while, a bald strong man with a height of more than one meter eight walked out and asked Ye Feng and them impatiently what was the matter!

In the face of the strong man's inquiry, Ye Feng had no choice but to take out the business card or the certificate of the Hawkins Comptoir that Dai Ben gave him.

Seeing the pure gold business card that Ye Feng took out, especially when the strong man saw the black crow depicted on the business card, his face also changed suddenly.

Then he quickly changed his tone, smiled politely and asked, "It turns out to be a distinguished customer of the Hawkins Firm!" I don't know if you want to buy melee weapons or long-range guns and cannons! ”

"It just so happens that today we have just forged a batch of newly developed arquebuses, which shoot at a third farther distance than ordinary arquebuses, and the power has also increased!"

"I wonder if you're interested in this arquebus?"

To be honest, for the current arquebus, a one-third increase in firing distance is indeed quite strong, but for Yefeng, he actually pays more attention to artillery than arquebuses.

Because the arquebus of this era did not solve the two problems of reload speed and ammunition load, the arquebus was actually not as practical as the bow and arrow!

In fact, in this era, the number of armies on land still accounts for more than half of the number of bows and arrows, after all, in the long time when arquebuses are changed for bullets, it is enough for archers to attack several times, and to be honest, the firing distance of arquebuses is not much higher than the range of bows and arrows.

The reason why the bow and arrow are not seen in the navy or pirates is because the bowstring, the main component of the bow and arrow, is generally made of animal tendons. 35xs

However, this kind of bowstring has a very fatal drawback, that is, if it is placed on the sea for too long, then it will lose its elasticity.

Without an elastic bowstring, the power of the bow and arrow and the shooting distance will be greatly reduced!

Therefore, for Night Blade, the pirate team's long-range attacks are more favored by artillery, because the firing distance of the artillery is far from comparable to that of the gun, and after the gun is loaded with shotguns, the firepower of one gun is enough to be comparable to the firepower of more than a dozen arquebuses!

Therefore, Ye Feng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the main purpose of our visit this time is to purchase a large number of artillery!" ”

"However, the caliber of artillery we need to purchase should be more than three pounds."

"At the same time, we still have a large number of one-pounder and two-pounder guns to sell, but most of our one-pounder and two-pounder guns are military artillery!"

"Oh!" The bald man looked at Ye Feng in a little surprise, because he knew that for him who had been in this place of Turtle Island for a long time, of course, he knew very well that even if ordinary pirates came here to buy artillery, at most they would buy a pound or two cannon.

Buying more than three pounders is basically only available to medium and large pirate groups.

Because for a small group of pirates, it is better to have the gold pound to buy a three-pounder cannon, and it is better to buy a few more one-pounder cannons!

And they are also more enthusiastic about fighting with weapons such as hand knives, iron hooks, and short axes!

However, this look of surprise only flashed on the bald man's face, and then he immediately changed to a warm smile and said, "Since this is the case, then please come in with me to talk!" ”

"It just so happens that we have a batch of three-pounder guns that have just been built during this time, if you can see it, then this batch of guns can be sold to you, but because this is a brand new gun that has just been cast, so this is the price!"

"You don't have to worry about the price. 35xs," Nightfeng said confidently, "as long as the quality of the cannon satisfies us, then our gold pounds will satisfy you too!" ”

Hearing Ye Feng's reply, the bald man also walked with confidence to Ye Feng and the others to the warehouse where the finished products were stacked in the blacksmith shop.

After passing through the scorching heat of the furnace area, Nightfront and the others were led by a bald man to a large stone house.

It can be seen that although the main components of this stone house are gravel and earth, it is also very strong and forged by the blacksmiths.

It looks like it's a kind of unity, and I don't know if Ye Feng is dazzled, he actually sees a metal-like luster on the outer wall of this room.

But he immediately put this ridiculous idea behind him, because you must know that iron in this era is not as cheap as in later generations, after all, whether it is a gun or a cannon, it is cast by a large number of subways.

So if you cast the walls of a warehouse with iron, then how much iron ore would be needed!

To Yefeng's surprise, the guards at the door of the warehouse were actually four Viking warriors, who wore helmets similar to bison horns, and even wore a close-fitting iron armor, but the most exaggerated thing was the weapons they held.

It is an iron axe made of iron all over the body, you know, the heavy axe equipped by the army in this era is essentially the axe is made of metal, but the axe body is made of hard wood.

This is not only to save costs, but more importantly, ordinary warriors simply cannot wield an iron axe made of iron all over their bodies, and with such a weight, let alone wielding it to fight, it is very difficult to even hold it for a long time.

Seeing these four heavily armed Viking warriors, Ye Feng's heart couldn't help but froze at this time, and at the same time, he finally knew why there were no pirates who had attacked this huge fat piece of blacksmith shop.

After all, having this blacksmith to be able to forge cannons is a huge addition to the pirate group!

Not to mention the huge gold pound gains that come with it!

It turned out that the strength of this blacksmith shop itself has a formidable strength that most pirates are afraid of, just think about the bloody storm that happened after being rushed into the team by a dozen Viking warriors armed with steel axes and wearing steel armor!

Just thinking about it makes most pirates fear from the bottom of their hearts!

After all, the aggressiveness and bravery of Viking warriors have already spread throughout the Caribbean.

In fact, it is precisely because of the dozens of Viking warriors that this blacksmith shop is able to survive independently in a place like Turtle Island.

And the reason why this blacksmith shop can have so many Viking warriors is because they give weapons and farm tools to a Viking tribe for free, so this Viking tribe will send a large number of warriors to protect them!

When the Viking warriors slowly pushed open the door of the warehouse, even Ye Feng, who had seen a lot of things, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he saw a large number of brand-new cannons lined up neatly in the warehouse, and the metal cannon body exuded the smell of death!

In the vicinity of the artillery, a large number of metal weapons and firearms were piled up.

Ye Feng only made a rough calculation, and found that the equipment in this warehouse alone was enough to instantly arm the weapons and equipment needed for ten Tier III warships!

This shows the sheer number of weapons in the warehouse!

Seeing the consternation on Ye Feng's faces, the bald man coughed very understandingly and said, "I don't know now, how many three-pounder cannons do you want to buy?" ”

Hearing the coughing sound deliberately made by the bald man, Ye Feng came back to his senses and thought for a moment, "I want to buy 40 three-pounder guns." ”

"What!"

The bald man asked again with some disbelief, "You said you want to buy a few three-pounder guns, it should be four, right?" ”

It's no wonder that the bald man is so surprised, you know, in fact, even if it is a large pirate group, they only have one requirement for artillery, that is, quantity, after all, although the large pirate group is numerous, it also has a corresponding difficulty, that is, the number of warships under the team has also increased accordingly.

As the number of battleships increased, so did the number of guns, and a three-pounder gun could be exchanged for two or three one-pounder guns.

Therefore, for the pirate group, of course, it is much more cost-effective to buy a pound cannon.

In fact, large pirate groups only buy three-pounder guns to serve as the main guns in the bow of their ships, and pirate captains are equipped with relatively more three-pounder guns.

In fact, in the current era, only the navy with national support will adopt the standard artillery specifications and uniformly equip all three-pound guns on a warship.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the bald man was so surprised when he heard the news that Yefeng was going to purchase as many as 40 three-pounder guns.

But immediately, the shock in the bald man's heart was replaced by ecstasy, because there were as many as 40 three-pounder guns, which meant that a large amount of gold pounds were about to flow in!

Therefore, the bald man immediately said with a warm smile on his face, "Since you have purchased 40 three-pounder guns at one time, I will reduce the price of each gun by one percent." ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng also smiled and said, "Thank you so much!" ”

After a slight contemplation, the bald man spoke again, "Because our three-pounder cannon is not much different in quality from the military artillery cast in the arsenal, the price we sell to the outside world is 1,500 gold pounds, so 40 guns are 60,000 gold pounds." ”

"And after the price of each door is reduced by 10%, the total selling price is 54,000 gold pounds!"
