Chapter 517: Flickering always requires innovation
Everyone moved to the edge of a military camp outside Tabriz, and Niu Yaowu, in order to show the power of the Tiger Zun cannon, deliberately placed five guns aimed at the target in front.
Boom, a group of goats rushed towards the Tiger Zun Cannon, and with Niu Yaowu's order, the five Tiger Zun Cannons opened fire almost at the same time!
Rumble! Rumble! Countless red-hot metal projectiles formed a forward storm, and in an instant, the sheep seemed to be devoured by monsters, and more than half of them were lost in the bloody rain!
Ismaili kept a close eye on Niu Yaowu's movements, only to see that under Niu Yaowu's order, ten gunners skillfully cleaned the barrel, stuffed the fixed amount of gunpowder packets, and then poured in countless small lead bullets, and finally inserted a red-hot pillar of fire into the tail of the Huzun cannon.
Rumble! Rumble! Another round of metal storm, directly destroying the flock! Ismaili laughed, ran over to take a closer look at the Tiger Zun cannon, touched the somewhat hot cannon body and asked, "How many more cannons can be fired?" Niu Yaowu immediately replied: "It should be possible to fire two to three cannons, and if the cooling means are effective, you can also fire five cannons to the limit!" ”
"Enough, enough!" Ismaili muttered in a low voice, then returned to Hua Houwei's side and asked eagerly, "Honorable dear prince, how much is this Tiger Venerable Cannon?" Hua Houwei smiled but did not answer, and pointed at Niu Yaowu.
Niu Yaowu had no choice but to command his subordinates and launch a cannon with wheels. This is an improved Shenwei general cannon made by Huahou Wei, and it is also a front-loading gun, but the barrel in the middle is a seamless steel tube, and a layer of brass is cast on the outside.
"Shah, this is the Shenwei General Cannon, the latest! Niu Yaowu, test the gun! "Boom! The twelve-pound projectile flew out of the muzzle and hit the target exactly a kilometer away!
Ismaili looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance in shock, and Hua Houwei was very profiteer and very considerate and handed over a pair of ordinary telescopes.
Of course, this is a children's telescope without a prism, Hua Houwei brought a lot of it to sea this time, just to make a lot of money.
"What is this?" Ismaili has never seen a telescope, and after taking it, it will not be used! The telescope was actually invented after 1608, and no one except the Ming Dynasty knew what it was.
Hua Houwei was very considerate to teach Ismaili to use it, and Ismaili applauded loudly after using it. Hua Houwei smiled: "Dear Shah, this is a divine weapon, take the lead when fighting!" Well, let's look at the power of Kamui's cannon first! What do you think? Is it a sharp weapon for attacking the city? Do you want to do the next one? qqxsnew Ismaili shook her head solemnly: "No! I want ten doors! Wait a minute! I can see it, Your Excellency, you are a profiteer! All right! I love your temptation for me! Just, I beg you, don't earn too much! The Safavid state was limited and did not have so many dinars to buy. Hua Houwei shook his head: "Dear Shah, don't say that!" We have an idiom in the Ming Dynasty, set the armpit into a fur. You can develop on a rolling basis! Don't try to arm to the teeth at once, build an elite force first, and act as a decisive fist force. When a piece of land is destroyed, another piece of land will be used to buy arms, and then a piece of land will be built, and then arms will be purchased. And so on and so forth, hehe, I have seen the revival of the Persian Empire, I have seen the Mediterranean Sea become the inner lake of the Persian Empire, and I have seen the Ottomans tremble! Ismaili's breathing became more and more rapid, and he suddenly said faintly: "Zhu Houwei, you are a devil!" Oh, an angel who looks like a devil! I love it, I love your advice so much! Well, you tell me, how many artillery guns are needed to maintain the minimum power? Huahou smiled greatly, hugged Ismaili affectionately, and handed him a piece of paper: "Look, this is the minimum weapon of an elite army, I have already prepared it for you!" Come and see, oh, it's okay, it's okay if you don't know Chinese characters, it's illustrated, with Arabic numerals on it, I'm sure you can understand it! After the two talked affectionately for a while, Ismaili felt a little dizzy in the face of an astronomical number: "Oh, dear Zhu, you come and tell me, am I dazzled?" How is this possible? A small elite army needs to occupy one-third of Safavid's annual income? Hua Houwei smiled: "No, dear Ismaili, we have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, this is a necessary investment!" So, I can give you some more gear for the same price, what do you think? ”
"Ah, dear Zhu, you are so good to me! Better than my brother did to me! You are the luck that the pearl gave me, that is me"
"Alright, dear Ismaili, our deal is so happily finalized?" Ismaili hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Hmm! Okay, so happy to decide! Even if my heart is not very happy. Hua Houwei smiled and shook his head: "No, no, dear Ismaili, when you see the crying city moaning under your feet, I believe you will be extremely happy!" "In the dead of night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and outside the post house prepared by the Safavid Empire for Hua Houwei and his party, a group of Red Hat troops slowly surrounded this place.
"Lord Commander, do you really want to kill all the Ming people?"
"Humph! Of course not! To kill a part, remember that it's only a part! Especially that young prince of the Ming Dynasty, he must not be killed! Hundreds of black shadows rushed towards the post house, and at a glance, the sword light was like snow!
Suddenly, torches flew out of the post house, and porcelain jars also flew out and shattered, and the light oil inside flowed out, and was instantly ignited by the torches!
Smack! Smack! Gunshots! There was also the unique whistling sound of the Tiger Zun Cannon, and these hundreds of Red Riding Hood troops were wiped out in an instant!
Of course, there are also those who quickly flee into the distance, but unfortunately they are facing the most advanced firearms in the world, and no one survives in the crackling gunfire!
Niu Yaowu turned around, and Hua Houwei walked over with a big mouth and a yawn. Niu Yaowu looked at the firelight and corpses outside, and asked softly, "Lord Wang, outside"
"What's out there? The sky falling outside is also a matter of the Safavid Empire, what does it have to do with our Ming Dynasty? Hurry up and sleep, just leave one of the sentinels, don't worry about someone daring to tease the tiger's whiskers! Looking at Hua Houwei, who turned around and left, and was very lazy, Niu Yaowu laughed.
The prince is like this, he doesn't panic when the sky falls! The only person in the world can be called a hero! He waved his big hand: "Didn't you hear the prince's order?" Leave one vigil and the rest sleep! "In just five minutes of fighting, it has already scared some people's bitter guts!
That's two squads of elite Red Hats! It didn't even last a quarter of an hour, and it was all wiped out!
The Ming Dynasty's firecrackers and artillery are terrifying!
