On either side of the back of Lauder's saddle were two bamboo baskets containing three black balls, one of which had just been used.

This is the grenade made by Lomin.

The word grenade is familiar to any earthling, but in their minds, the grenade is either like an oval melon or the kind with a slender wooden handle, either way, its size is quite small.

But this one made by Luo Ming is bigger than an apple, and even a blunt instrument can easily kill people, and it is estimated that most modern people will be confused when they see it, and some people will even mistake it for a cannonball.

In fact, the grenades of the black powder era on earth are all so big, otherwise the power cannot be guaranteed.

The power of black powder is limited, although Luo Ming's current black powder is so-so and granulated, it is still worse than the black powder that was scientifically proportioned by industrial manufacturing at its peak, not to mention those new explosives.

If Lomin's grenade had only the size of a modern grenade, it might have been a large two-kicker, barely able to blow over two or three people, and perhaps none of them would have been killed.

And now, although the volume has become larger, but correspondingly it is filled with more gunpowder, and there are carefully broken pieces of lead as fragments, and the power has also increased a lot, according to the actual test, the killing radius is about three meters and a half - within this radius, ordinary soldiers are half-dead even if they don't die, and the swordsman has to consume a lot of fighting energy if he eats one shot, and he will die if he eats a few more rounds.

Compared to modern grenades, of course, they are garbage, but they are enough to make Lauder scare when he watches.

Unfortunately, such a weapon, although a little cheaper in cost than traditional alchemy explosives or fireball scrolls, is still not cheap - the amount of gunpowder in one grenade is enough to fire two shells. As long as the cost of gunpowder cannot be reduced, there is no way to mass produce it.

Moreover, even mass production is useless, and now in the entire Meiquan Territory, only single-digit people can use this heavy killing weapon.

Each one weighed three and a half kilograms, and although Lomin had added a cloth belt that could be used to shake and increase the range, similar to a sling, the effect of increasing the range was limited.

Ordinary people feel heavy when they grasp it with both hands, and no matter how much they transform, they can't throw it too far.

Unless the swordsman is allowed to throw it, even a high-level swordsman can only throw it fifteen meters away - with this shot put, the enemy can cross a distance of more than ten meters to cut people after rushing two steps.

With his fighting spirit, coupled with the run, he can throw it about 35 meters, which can be regarded as having actual combat value.

Of course, in a real large-scale battle, it would be a waste to have a swordsman in charge of throwing grenades.

Only now when a person escapes can the grenade be truly useful.

Sensing another attack from behind, Lauder grabbed a grenade, lit the fuse on the roll of paper hanging from his mouth, and quickly threw it behind him.

Two lead pellets smashed into his back in a row, piercing his Douqi shield, and then embedded in the iron armor covered with a layer of cloth robes, drilling out two depressions, and he couldn't get an inch.

The impact of the lead shot was like someone punching him in the back, but he was still wearing a cotton armed suit inside the iron armor, which had a certain protective ability and was an excellent cushioning material, which removed most of the force, but it felt a little painful, but in fact he was not injured at all.

Behind him, the grenade exploded at a height of one meter above the ground, and the peanut-sized pieces of broken lead exploded in all directions, and the roar was shocking, and then, the sense of urgency that was originally pressing on gradually began to lessen.

Still unfazed, Lauder picked up another grenade and was ready to light it on the sparkling scroll of paper next to his mouth.

It wasn't until the war horse ran hundreds of meters away that the breath really disappeared, and he didn't continue to chase after him, that he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Lauder himself knows very well that if he is strong, he will of course suffer a loss if he eats this grenade, but it is not too difficult to avoid its edge, in Luo Ming's test, it is difficult for ordinary shrapnel to kill ordinary people at a distance of two meters and five, and it can only cause minor injuries to opponents of the sword master level.

Although he can also throw out several grenades in one go and perform a wide range of coverage strikes to ensure the hit rate, if the opponent survives this round, he who runs out of grenades will lose a great deterrent and will fall into a great disadvantage.

However, the other party didn't dare to bet on this possibility, so he finally let him go.

Of course, if he hadn't been wearing an iron armor, he might have been injured by the attack just now.

It wasn't until he returned to the camp of the ape headquarters where Luo Ming was that Lauder took off his armor to check the situation behind him - the burqa was naturally punched out of the hole, and the iron armor under the robe also appeared two depressions, and there were almost cracks in the deepest part of the depression - that is, it was almost pierced.

If he hadn't been wearing armor and had relied entirely on the swordsman's fighting spirit to defend himself, it was estimated that he would have been able to penetrate deep into his back and give him half a life.

After carefully examining the two lead pills, he couldn't help but look strange.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, asked suspiciously, "If you think of something, just say it quickly." Now I need all the information here. ”

"Master, you may not know, this size of lead pellet is definitely the ammunition of a slingshot, yes," Lauder said hurriedly.

It turned out that he not only recognized this lead pellet, but also used it with his own hands before.

Some nobles were reluctant to spend a lot of time and energy on being proficient in bowing horses, and some could not ride even the most docile horses, but they wanted to experience the joy of hunting, so they set their sights on slingshots.

The comparison of the children of the aristocracy, while being "elegant", will inevitably become "unjust".

Some slingshots are made of a specific species of tree from a certain place, and the age, location and time of collection must be very particular, and they are decorated with gold and silver jewelry, and the most expensive ones can even be sold for hundreds of gold coins.

Naturally, under the background of this kind of crazy money throwing by a lot of unjust big heads, the slingshot manufacturing industry has ushered in a period of prosperity, although the industry is now a little colder, but so many technologies accumulated at the beginning are still there - such as lead pellets of different specifications corresponding to various types of prey.

At the beginning, Lauder also learned a little slingshot - not for some elegant hunting, but for the sake of something to do nothing, to shoot a bird or a rabbit, or even someone else's watchdog, to replenish himself with some oil and water - a martial arts practitioner needs meat, but he was not rich at the beginning, and he can only rely on this method to find some supplements.
