"Little brother with a long mouth, you come and top it for a while, give me ten seconds, let me go and see what's inside." The stallion volunteered to check the inside of the door.

Just let him take a look, the people of the Ma family will receive all the skills training related to the nose since they were young, as long as everything in the world can be touched, including poisons, poisonous insects, etc., the smell of various objects will be firmly imprinted in their noses.

In this way, I dare not say everything, but at least most of the things can be smelled by stallions in a relatively small space, even if they are not visible.

If there is any poison or something in it, it will definitely not escape his nose.

As the saying goes, there is a magic pen in the book, and we have a god-nosed stallion!

"It was an empty room and nothing! Oh, no, there's something, just covered by a big black cloth, and I almost looked away, so I ripped it off to see what it was! Hey~~~! Ahem, cough, cough~phew~! So much ash! , this is a cannon, a cannon? Damn, am I dazzled? Ouyang, come and make sure! The stallion shouted excitedly.

"Cannon?" The crowd was amazed.

You must know that the earliest artillery found in the world is a bronze cannon in the Xixia Kingdom in the 10th century AD, and an iron gun in the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century.

In the middle of the thirteenth century, Genghis Khan led the Mongol Empire army to war, and the main reason for the defeat of the belligerents when attacking the city was the use of artillery weapons.

Before that, the originator of artillery in the cold weapon period was the trebuchet, Cao Cao once used the trebuchet to break Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, and later improved to throw fireballs, and there was no earlier artillery cultural relics unearthed records, so the historiography also fixed the birth time of the world's artillery around the tenth century AD.

So when we heard the stallion say that there was a cannon, our first reaction was that we had seen it wrong.

"Dean Kato, Manjiro Ojisan, you and I go over, the others must guard the door, and you will also come back to guard the door, everyone will help us buy a few minutes!" I quickly said, true or not, this is our last chance, and I have to see for myself.

I asked Takashi Kato to go over without explaining why, and let Manjiro go with him, because he was more proficient in naval warfare than us, and if it was something used in the sea, it would be right to take him there.

"Boss Ouyang, you can rest assured, I see that you have been fighting for a long time, and your hands have already been itchy." Shar Pei clenched the pumpkin hammer in both hands and said angrily.

Sha Pei was originally born tall and mighty, wearing a full set of Qin Dynasty armor, he looked like a Qin Dynasty fierce general resurrected, coupled with his ten years of profound skills in iron cloth shirts, not only surpassed all of us in physical strength, but the defense value could almost stop the lion and tiger.

Just now, he has been resisting with a shield, and he basically didn't consume much physical strength, which is also my deliberate arrangement, just to retain a strong force at the last moment to win a glimmer of life.

"I swear in the name of Sister Lianrui, this is definitely a cannon, you will know it when you see it." Just as the three of us entered, the stallion's voice was heard.

"That's right, it's a cannon indeed! It's incredible, if you say it, I'm afraid it will overturn history again. Taka Kato was so excited that he took out his notebook and kept recording everything here.

"What a mighty cannon! But I remember, in those days, there were not even muskets, how could there be cannons? Could it be that someone later moved in? There's also a box under the base, and I'll see, hehe, it's three shells, and it's still a hollow cannon, and I'm looking forward to its power. While Manjiro was puzzled, he was also quickly searching for all available supplies.

"It's not later, it's original, it's incredible!" I said in amazement after a quick look around the cannon, and at the same time a wave of ecstasy welled up in my heart - you are indeed here, good baby who can make us fight our way out of the encirclement!

There is a huge cannon quietly placed in front of us, the reason why I call it a giant cannon is because according to the existing archaeological records, the caliber of the earliest ancient cannon unearthed on the earth is only about 100 mm, and the caliber of this guy in front of me has reached 200 mm according to my rough estimate!

The whole cannon is shaped like a dragon-like creature ready to soar into the sky, and its base is also equipped with iron claws and iron stumbling.

These things set up on the ground are evidence that such a huge cannon was originally on a mirage!

The reaction force generated when it is fired is not small, so it is necessary to use large iron nails to fix the cannon body to the ground, which resembles a coiling dragon.

This overcomes the huge recoil of firing and the drawbacks of bouncing on the spot.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this statue, which could not have appeared even in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, would have been assembled on a building ship in the Qin Shi Huang period!

Is there a deception, a trap?

But I thought of one thing, and I was suddenly relieved, in Chinese chess, there is a very mysterious chess piece: cannon.

Chinese chess, which appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, had not even invented gunpowder at that time (to be precise, it was discovered), how could the ancients know about the "cannon" and make it into chess?

There is a lot of debate on this issue, but the initiators of various theories are not convinced, so the matter is still inconclusive.

Now I know, because there are real ones, but because they are too rare, or they have been in the experimental stage, and because they are too old, none of them have survived intact.

Even during the period of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, this may be the only cannon in the Qin Dynasty, and he devoted the whole country to create a sharp weapon for Xu Fu to go out to the sea to find immortals.

Since it is so bullish, there must be an inscription on the cannon body, and you can figure out the origin by looking at the inscription!

"Ouyang, there is a line of words here." After all, Kato Taka is an archaeological veteran driver, and he quickly found clues.

"The public loses the superintendent, the wrath of the dragon!" I followed Taka Kato's instructions to the place where the inscription was engraved, and read out the eight characters engraved on the cannon body with a large seal.

It's actually the masterpiece of the Gongyi family, the name of this cannon is the wrath of the dragon, it's really a good name, so let these unlucky yakshasas bear the wrath of the dragon!

"Very well, Manjiro Ojisan, I'm up to you to operate this thing." I said.

"The operation is very simple, but this is a semi-finished product, the rifling on it is not finished, and we don't know how many yaksha still exist outside, if it is fired three times in a short time, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it and explode directly." Manjiro leaned closer to the cannon and looked at it, and said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter if the rifling is carried out, we don't need much precision anyway, we just want it to open the way, but our difficulties don't end there, there doesn't seem to be the gunpowder and twist necessary to fire shells." I said with a wry smile.

"It's a big deal, while we still have some strength now, let's kill it together, how about it?" After hearing our conversation, everyone suggested a breakthrough.

"Gunpowder, I have it here, do you want it?" Just as we were in trouble, a voice that did not belong to anyone in the team suddenly sounded between us.
