Chapter Twenty-Five: The Defense Plan of Yoder Town (Part II)
"Boom!"
In the house of the porcelain kiln, a dazzling fire suddenly lit up, and the porcelain jar exploded in the explosion, this experiment, the amount of black powder prepared by Ron was not large, but the power was still satisfactory.
"Lord Ron, this thing can really explode!" Saiana rubbed her hands excitedly: "If you use a larger amount, it will be enough to kill the enemy!"
Ron waved his hand to the crowd of onlookers: "Let's go back to shelter from the rain first, it's been raining, and it's not good to get sick." This explosion was just an accident, and I'm going to discuss something with Miss Saiana. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the conference room of the Lord's Mansion just now, I guess this is not a place for us to chat. ”
......
This time back in the conference room, Ron immediately felt the subtle changes in the eyes of several other people, no matter where the strong are, they will be respected by others, compared to the title of magician, the city guard of Yoder Town, obviously more value the gunpowder he "invented".
"Lord Ron, this gunpowder, how can we make it into a weapon that can kill and injure the enemy?" Saiana raised her own question: "I found out just now that you used strips of cloth to ignite this gunpowder, but on the battlefield, if it takes a long time to detonate, after the enemy has suffered one or two losses, he will definitely be on guard, and it will be difficult to succeed, and this kind of gunpowder, if you want to kill on a large scale, the amount is estimated to be not small." ”
"I can't help the technical side of things. There should be a lot of skilled craftsmen in Yod, as long as the problem of detonating and filling the container for gunpowder is solved. Ron smiled: "Miss Saiana, killing and injuring the enemy is not only by relying on the explosive energy of gunpowder, if you want to kill the enemy with air waves and high temperatures, our gunpowder requires a considerable amount of weight, and the farther the enemy is from the center of the explosion, the more powerful it will be." Do you remember the previous experiment, when I put gunpowder in a porcelain jar, and after the gunpowder exploded, the air wave blew the porcelain jar to pieces? After the explosion, each piece was a powerful killing weapon. ”
Saiana's eyes lit up: "You mean, the material used to package gunpowder, choose this kind of material that is easy to break?"
"Yes, you don't have to use a porcelain jar, if the explosive energy is large enough, you can even use an iron tool, but I'll leave it to you, I can't really do this kind of manual work. ”
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it immediately. Saiana asked, "Is this gunpowder absolutely safe as long as it is not ignited?"
"Yes, the yellowish crystals and the powder are sulfur, the powder is white, and together with charcoal, the three are mixed together to be the simplest black powder. Ron nodded, "By the way, Miss Saiana, if there are carpenters in Yoder Town, I'd like them to make some simple throwing arms." ”
"Throwing arms?" Meria frowned, "You mean, similar to the kind of throwing arms on catapults?
"That's right, if we use our hands, we will be shot by enemy arrows, and the distance of the hand throw is not far, and there may even be some unnecessary accidents, if we use the throwing arm, the range will be much more. "We don't need to be like catapults, where we have to throw big rocks, but we think these carpentry should be fine." ”
"Ron, I'm afraid this explosive alone won't solve the problem completely. Meria's expression was still calm: "Even if we can make a certain amount of explosives, there is no danger here in Yode Town, and once the enemy is determined to eat us, I am afraid that these bombs alone will not be enough." ”
"Of course not. Ron took a deep breath: "Although the enemy may be jealous of the geographical location of Yoder Town, this lonely city on the Great Plains will also be affected by our Noah's army, but we can't just rely on gambling, I hope that our army can't watch these people in Yoder Town die in vain." ”
"Reinforcements?" Meria and Saiana reacted almost simultaneously.
"You mean, we're going to ask for reinforcements?" Meria's brows furrowed: "I've thought about this kind of thing, but on the Great Plains, there are still a lot of cavalry troops of the Duchy of Beru, they can't attack the city, but it's more than enough to deal with infantry like us." ”
Ron slapped his head suddenly, Yoder Town originally had war horses, but they had all been killed and turned into rations.
"Not only that, but even if we find the location of the large army, do you think we will be able to convince the military to send reinforcements?" Meria shook her head: "In Hamp City, the number of our dead compatriots is no larger than the population of Yoder Town. ”
The conference room suddenly fell silent, and the discovery of gunpowder could only be the icing on the cake, and it did not have the effect of sending charcoal in the snow. They are safe for the time being, but they are just turtles in an urn.
Ron scratched his head in some pain, no matter how strong his talent was, it would be pointless if he even lost his life here. The disparity in strength between us and foe has made all intrigue and skill pale and weak.
"I'll go. ”
At this moment, Meria suddenly stood up from her seat.
Ron and Saiana looked at him in surprise.
"In this operation, the more people there are, the more troublesome it is, I am from the military, if it were me, the words might be a little more credible. Merial said in a deep voice.
"No, you went, what about the army here?" Ron shook his head: "Saiana and I, in terms of commanding troops, are still worse after all, once the enemy attacks, it is not just a matter of blood." ”
Saiana bowed slightly, "Or, Captain Meria, how about you send some of your troops?"
"I'd better go. ”
Will, who had been standing behind Ron and remained silent from beginning to end, spoke for the first time: "I am a native of the Great Plains of Hamp, I am familiar with the terrain here, I am also a soldier of Noah, and I also have a heart for revenge, this time, please let me do my part." ”
Ron glanced at Will in surprise, he had not been fighting together for a long time in Hamp City all the way to Yod Town, but he could feel that Will was indeed an excellent scout, flexible, ingenious, such a soldier did not rely on force and brute force, but on a calm mind and thinking. Will was indeed the best candidate for the operation.
