"No, these big guns are too rough to make, too heavy, inconvenient to carry, inconvenient to adjust the shooting angle, and not very powerful, loaded with so much gunpowder, but the power is only so little."

Zhu Han's words immediately caused Zhou Dexing to lose his happiness in an instant.

At this time, Zhou Dexing had already regarded Zhu Han as an expert in gunpowder tactics, and everything Zhu Han said, Zhou Dexing regarded it as the truth.

"Brother, I think these Yuan soldiers' fire guns are already very powerful, so how powerful must they be?" Zhou Dexing asked.

These muskets, or early types of artillery, were captured by the defenders of the Titan Distance.

In the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, all kinds of gunpowder weapons were already very popular, and an army of tens of thousands of people often had hundreds of artillery pieces of different sizes accompanying the battle.

If you want to talk about the quantity, it is not worth the era of queuing and shooting in later generations.

However, if you talk about power, the power of these cannons cast by Meng Yuan is too much worse.

Anyway, in Zhu Han's opinion, the best outcome of these captured artillery pieces is probably to return to the furnace for retraining.

"Brother Zhou, a really good artillery must not only be powerful, but also lightweight, at least it must be able to be pulled by four horses, so that the general road is passable, and now these guys are too heavy, in addition to defending in the city, it is difficult to advance quickly with the army, let alone advance and retreat during the battle." Zhu Han shook his head and said.

Listening to Zhu Han's request, Zhou Dexing suddenly felt a little discouraged.

"If you do what you want, all of these firebolts will be recast!" Zhou Dexing said.

"That's right, that's why I've been looking for craftsmen lately, and I'm going to forge a new type of artillery!" Zhu Han said.

Since the capture of Dingyuan, Zhu Han has brought all the craftsmen under the rule of his engineer battalion.

Despite this, there was still a lack of enough craftsmen to experiment with the manufacture of new artillery.

"Dingyuan is a small place, there are not many craftsmen, wait until Chuzhou is laid, there are a lot of craftsmen in Chuzhou!" Zhou Dexing said.

Zhu Han nodded, in the current situation, it can only be like this.

"Brother, don't be discouraged and tell you good news!" Zhou Dexing said mysteriously.

"Brother Zhou, what's the good news?" Zhu Han hurriedly asked.

In the past few days, Zhou Dexing has spent more time in the school field than Zhu Han, and Wang Fatzi, who led the engineer battalion, is tinkering with something every day.

"Brother, I already have a new way to make the excavation tunnel speed three percent faster!" Zhou Dexing said proudly.

"What, it's going to be thirty percent faster?"

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately felt a burst of surprise and suspicion.

To deal with ordinary city walls, it only takes three days to dig tunnels, and if it is less than three percent, it will only take two days.

This effect is equivalent to having another engineer battalion.

"That's right, it's going to be thirty percent faster!" Zhou Dexing said, and led Zhu Han to the side of the school field.

Wang Fatzi and others in the engineer battalion had been waiting for a long time.

Under the command of Zhou Dexing, Wang Fatzi and others began to demonstrate.

Zhu Han saw that it was no different when they started digging the tunnel.

But after the entrance was excavated in the tunnel, Wang Fatzi and the others stuffed sections of round wooden barrels into the tunnel.

As the tunnel was dug forward, sections of round barrels were gradually added in.

With the protection of the barrels, there is no need to worry about the collapse of the excavated tunnel, and the speed of digging forward is also greatly improved.

"Brother, how's it going!" Zhou Dexing smiled proudly.

Zhu Han looked at everything in front of him and was simply stunned.

Isn't this how the future generations dug large tunnels?

However, modern tunnelling uses reinforced slow-concrete domes, while this tunnel uses simple wooden barrels.

"Brother Zhou, who came up with this method?" Zhu Han hurriedly asked.

He even had some doubts that there was another traverser in the engineer battalion.

Zhou Dexing patted his chest happily, "Brother, it's my brother!" Well, this method is okay! ”

"Yes, quite a bit, it's just too good!" Zhu Han praised Zhou Dexing fiercely with the most simple praise.

For this kind of coarse person, if Zhu Han is a praised crepe, he still can't understand it.

Sure enough, Zhou Dexing was very happy for Zhu Han's praise.

"Haha, with this method, in the future, we will attack the city and attack the caves, and we will no longer be afraid of losing manpower, and we will dig faster."

Zhou Dexing said this, and suddenly his expression was regretful.

"Alas, if I had come up with this method earlier, those brothers in the engineer battalion a few days ago would not have been buried alive."

Zhu Han nodded silently.

A few days ago, the engineer battalion was digging a hole for training, and it collapsed unexpectedly, and three soldiers of the engineer battalion died on the spot.

Although it is inevitable to die in battle, the death and injury during this kind of training still makes Zhou Dexing very annoyed.

In a hurry, Zhou Dexing had a flash of inspiration and came up with this brilliant idea.

Zhu Han originally thought that Zhou Dexing was an illiterate old man, not to mention any inventions and creations, even if he learned his own acupoint attack and blasting, he was already very powerful.

However, I never expected that it was Zhou Dexing, a big boss, who would come up with such a brilliant idea.

It can make the cave attack blasting method safer and faster.

Zhu Han felt at this time that there must be many talents like Zhou Dexing in the world, but because of timing and fate, they missed the opportunity to show themselves.

is like Zhou Dexing, but after learning from his side for so long, he is already better than the blue.

"Brother Zhou, you have done a good job, our brothers in the rebel army all need to learn like you!" Zhu Han praised from the bottom of his heart.

Who knows, hearing Zhu Han's praise, Zhou Dexing was not only not happy, but almost anxious.

He grabbed Zhu Han's sleeve and said with a solemn expression.

"Brother, I treat you as a brother and a master before I told you this method, you must not say it, let alone let other people in our righteous army learn it! I plan to be the unique secret book of the old Zhou family, and pass on the male to the female! ”

When Zhu Han heard this, his face immediately turned black.

He praised just now, but he didn't expect to be so understood by Zhou Dexing.

However, when he thought about it, he also understood Zhou Dexing's thoughts.

In ancient times, when information was not smooth, no matter what industry it was, there was a trick to eat all over the world and the experience of the church apprentice starving to death of the master.

Not to mention Zhou Dexing's acupuncture and blasting of militaristic weapons, even some carpenters hide some of their unique mortise and tenon skills, and they are basically kept secret by men and women.
