Chapter 121: Water Dragon Cannon
When Feng Mingze and his entourage were still marching cautiously on the snow, in front of the Xuanfu Pass, they ushered in a fierce attack by the Tatar army.
This time, there were four tribes who came to attack Xuanfu Pass, and the easternmost tribe fell out with the other three tribes after the drawings were "burned" by Feng Mingze because of their sloppiness, and their general simply tied up Feng Mingze and went back to his hometown.
The other three tribes thought to themselves, they all came, even if the firearms were not very good at using and did not play their most effective, they could not come in vain. I had to go into the customs to grab some food to go back. So, they gathered their forces and pushed the siege artillery to attack again.
Cheng Yu took King Duan, King Cheng and Wang Yue to the city, and the rocket was shooting at the city, but now it was a snowy day, and the gunpowder power on the arrow had been reduced a lot.
"What do you think, Inspector Wang?" Duan Wang asked with his hands in his hand.
Wang Yue, who was wearing a mink hat with ear covers his ears and cheeks tightly, saw King Duan asking him, and hurriedly said loudly: "The fire power of the Tartars is not good!" Let them fight, and when they run out of ammunition, they will withdraw. ”
King Cheng said: "The power of the rocket can't be exerted, but if you look below, the artillery will hit the gate of Guanzhen directly, and if there are a few more cannons, the gate may not be able to stand it!" He glanced at Wang Yue and added, "Wang Dujun, you take off your ear caps and listen carefully." ”
Wang Yue knew that King Cheng was mocking him, but his face did not change and said: "This is a problem that Cheng Zongbing has to consider." Cheng Zongbing, you are a town general, you can't wait for our people who come all the way to take a strategy against the enemy, right? ”
Cheng Yu was still silently counting the frequency and hit rate of their artillery fires, and didn't pay attention to his words, and only after counting a stage did he look at Wang Yue.
He pointed to the Tatar artillery and said: "In the past there were no artillery in the Tatars, we were condescending and had a great advantage, and now they can also build artillery, attack with artillery, stand far away, outside the range of our bows and crossbows." We are one point, they are one face, even if the artillery attacks each other, we are at a disadvantage. ”
"There are few Tatar artillery, so we will attack their artillery first, and then talk about it when they are dumb." Duan Wang looked at Cheng Yu and said.
Cheng Yu nodded and asked someone to prepare the three-eyed gun. It is said that the distance of the siege artillery is about 250 paces, and the range of the three-eyed gun is within 300 steps. But now we launch against the wind, but they launch with a tailwind, and with the wind speed, the three-eyed gun has lost its accuracy, and even a few bullets have been released.
Wang Yue looked at it and scolded repeatedly: "Stupid! Fool! I can't hit it like this, I really just eat the emperor's food and don't work. ”
"Wang Dujun, I remember that there is a thunderbolt in the weapon you brought, you quickly let someone take it out and try it!" King Duan said with a serious face.
Wang Yue hesitated, but still asked someone to go to the carriage to unload his weapons. The Thunderbolt can shoot up to 500 paces, but the number of products made is still very small, and all of them are allocated to the Shenji Battalion itself, and the border town is not equipped.
The Thunderbolt is in place, but like the Three-Eyed Gun, it encounters the problem of the north wind.
Duan Wang stood beside the archers and said to them, "You can estimate how far you have just been, and when you aim again, you will go in the opposite direction." The wind is gusty, and we bet that we will encounter the same strong wind! ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "The frequency of each gust of wind is also rhythmic, and according to the rhythm, you can make a bet." ”
The shooter soldier fired another bullet, the distance was closer, the soldiers suddenly had confidence, and when a gust of wind came, the Tatar artillery was hit by a thunderbolt!
The artillery of the Tatars was dumb. The soldiers in the town cheered.
At this time, Dong Haoran and Feng Mingze, who returned to Xuanfu Town, also climbed the city tower. Dong Haoran shouted from afar: "Cheng Zongbing, who is back?" ”
Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and they were pleasantly surprised to see Feng Mingze, who was dressed in military uniform, and walked over after Dong Hao.
"Duanwang, Chief Soldier, I'm back!" Feng Mingze clasped his fists and saluted.
"It's good to be back! The Tatar siege artillery has just been dumbed by us, you see, how to fight back next? Cheng Yu happily patted Feng Mingze's shoulder.
Feng Mingze nodded, he observed it for a moment and said, "The Tatar barbarian seems to be retreating!" Let's not worry, we'll be able to decide when we see their next move. ”
The wind was strong above, and a few people temporarily walked down from the castle tower.
Wang Yue looked at Feng Mingze as he walked and asked, "Vice General Feng, how did you escape from the Tatars?" Feng Mingze replied: "The last general took advantage of the Tatar guards not paying attention, so he ran to the border, and was rescued later, and then Deputy General Dong came to them. ”
Wang Yue smiled meaningfully: "You are really fateful, you have fallen into the hands of the Tatars for a long time, and you can still run back with all your hands and feet!" Feng Mingze pretended not to hear, turned his head and smiled at Dong Haoran: "Haoran, the water dragon cannon we made, it's time to take it out and try it." ”
Cheng Yu asked, "Hasn't the water dragon cannon solved the problem of the speed of water freezing?" ”
"I've been reminded by some chance, and I've already thought of a way." Feng Mingze said, and ordered his men to boil water: "The more the better, pour it into the water filling bucket of the water dragon cannon." Although Dong Haoran didn't know what he meant, he also personally supervised him.
Cheng Yu was amused and said to Feng Mingze: "It seems that your brain has not been idle in the past two days. He suddenly remembered that Haitang was still in the mansion, so he said: "You go down to the mansion to rest first, and then I will call you if there is a military situation." ”
Feng Mingze understood, and walked quickly to the mansion.
