The power of the cannon is unknown to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only Gao Yu's subordinates have some experience in actual combat, but it is only experience, there are still some differences between firecrackers and cannons, the weight of firecrackers does not exceed 100 catties, such thermal weapons, the use of inefficient black powder, the control of the battlefield is very weak, unless a large number of firecrackers are used to fill the lack of killing power of weapons.

But it's not the same with artillery, it's a superweapon that can turn the tide of the battlefield.

It's a pity that Li Kui was not given any chance at all in terms of time.

However, this did not prevent Li Kui from letting the firecrackers show the officials of Yan Yanlu the terrifying power represented in the era of thermal weapons.

"Clean the chamber!"

"Gunpowder refilled!"

"Seal filling complete!"

"Load the projectile!"

……

After each step, the soldiers stood up and shouted, which may not be the case on the battlefield, but during training, Li Kui asked everyone to do the same. The purpose is very simple, in the process of shouting the soldiers, in fact, the understanding of the steps of using the firearm is deepened, which is very beneficial for training novices.

And the firecracker is a high-risk class.

There was also an explosion of a musket on the battlefield, and the operating firecracker was killed on the spot.

But this does not hide the rise of the musket on the battlefield, as long as there is enough ammunition, they can tirelessly reload and fire until the musket is completely scrapped.

"Renjie, why are you yelling?"

Lu Huiqing has lived most of his life, and he has never seen a soldier with a coordinated weapon shouting so seriously, which is used to show that there is no mistake in the duty he has completed.

seems to feel very useless, but thinks that since Li Kui asks for this, he will definitely not do useless work.

Li Kui said with a smile: "After all, the firearm is a new weapon, and the workshops of the Ministry of Industry and the Privy Council have provided a large number of gunpowder weapons to the army before. These include rockets, assault muskets, and rockets, but these weapons are either inpowerful or ineffective, giving soldiers some great contempt for these gunpowder weapons. ”

"But the gun is different, although this weapon is also filled with gunpowder to fire projectiles. In essence, it is no different from the Assault Gun, but because of the difference in charge, the Gun has more destructive power. If it is not handled carefully, it will cause an explosion. We had such an accident on the battlefield, the amount of charge was not calculated accurately, the wrong medicine bag was taken, and there was also a problem with the casting of the firecracker, resulting in two soldiers being killed on the spot due to the explosion. ”

"So dangerous?"

Weapons are used to kill people, but as control, weapons have always been obedient in the hands of people, where can it be like a fire gun, it can actually hurt others and harm oneself?

Lu Huiqing also began to drum in his heart, and he found that he seemed to be too close to the place where the firearm was tested.

Stealthily tiptoeing and dodging back.

was seen by Li Kui, and he smiled embarrassedly: "The old man is old, and I heard that the gunpowder is poisonous, and the old man is afraid that this body will not be able to withstand it." ”

As far as Lu Huiqing's shameless appearance is concerned, Li Kui is not easy to say about him. Toxic, what is this to be compared to, sucking like a cat, what body can stop it? But if you really smoke some smoke after the explosion of gunpowder, you won't be able to die for ten or eight years. This is still a firecracker, not to mention the other soldiers who really inhale it accidentally, there will definitely be no problem.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the craftsmen who tested gunpowder in the workshops of the Ministry of Industry be poisoned one by one?

Not only Lu Huiqing was hiding, but even Gongsun Sheng was hiding behind him. Li Kui looked at his figure and Gongsun Sheng's figure, and suddenly wondered, this kid is using him as a shield!

Li Kui's heart is not big, how can he tolerate this kind of thing happening.

He turned his head and grinned at Gongsun Sheng, who was like a rat targeted by a poisonous snake, and his heart was about to stop beating.

"Mr. Gongsun, the glorious task of lighting this fire will be handed over to you." After speaking, Li Kui handed a burning torch to Gongsun Sheng's hand and encouraged: "Speaking of which, Mr. Gongsun is also a veteran of playing gunpowder, and this little whimsy of this official is still influenced by you." At this point, such a glorious moment, it is natural that your credit is indispensable, please don't shirk it. ”

Gongsun Sheng panicked and pressed a torch that was forced, wanted to go out, but didn't dare, like a bullied earth dog, he looked innocently at his master Cheng Zhijie.

The latter, too, felt that there was no big problem.

After all, didn't Li Kui say it?

It has already been used on the battlefield, and it is very useful to kill and injure party cavalry. Now it's just a military exercise, what big problems can go.

"My lord, if I die, my mother." The corners of Gongsun Sheng's mouth trembled with embarrassment, he could hear the whispers of Li Kui and Lu Huiqing just now, what kind of battlefield suddenly exploded, and he was killed on the spot...... People who don't know anything about gunpowder may be ignorant and fearless, and naturally they don't take it to heart.

But Gongsun Sheng is not a novice, he also plays with gunpowder. I played it very well at the beginning, so I naturally understand how dangerous this thing is?

How can a thing that can be blown up in a house by a flesh and blood body?

But Li Kuiman didn't care and said: "Don't worry, it's foolproof, I didn't add more medicine, just listen to the movement." ”

Gongsun Sheng may have really believed other people's words, but what Li Kui said sounded like he was tricking a child into jumping into the well, and he used his voice to bewitch him: "How hot is it, is it cool in the well?" ”

Gritting his teeth, he walked to the edge of the fire with a torch as if he were saving righteousness.

He hesitated for a long time, but he didn't dare to order. Others don't know, but he understands that things like palm mines made of gunpowder need to be ignited and exploded with a fuse. Of course, Taoists will also replace it with some other things, mainly because it costs too much, and even the Great Daoguan sometimes can't afford this kind of consumption.

In particular, things that don't use a fuse are still very unsafe and even more dangerous to use.

Therefore, the fuse is not unusual for Gongsun Sheng.

If Li Kui was allowed to say it, he would probably be able to guess that phosphorus fire might be the key ingredient used by Taoists to make palm thunder.

"Mr. Gongsun, hurry up!"

"Yes, Li Zhimi said, foolproof ......"

Gongsun Sheng suddenly wanted to turn the muzzle of the gun at these guys who said cool things and didn't think it was a big deal, and blasted them into scum.

Silk

After the fuse was lit, there was a loud bang in just a few breaths, accompanied by fire, smoke, and a pungent smell of sulfur, which filled the middle of the school grounds. Gongsun Sheng was even more frightened by the sudden loud noise and threw out the torches in his hands. Fortunately, he is also an expert in playing gunpowder, walking the rivers and lakes with a palm thunder, I don't know how many heroes are in the shadow.

But the officials of Yan Yanlu were very unbearable, Lu Huiqing was so frightened that the corners of her mouth were almost crooked, and she felt a tingling pain in her heart like a convulsion, and finally eased up, and was embarrassed to find that she was sitting on the ground.

The old face couldn't help but blush, and Lu Huiqing sighed: "The power of ghosts and gods is simply the power of ghosts and gods!" The old man wants to give an invitation to His Majesty, and my Great Song must use a firecracker, no, a cannon that is more powerful than a firecracker. ”

After speaking, he roared at the guards around him: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you go and check the power of the fire gun." ”

The test was only to test the power of the firebolts, and their target was a wall of earth, and the firebolts were fired at a distance of 100 paces, a distance that was not very powerful for a bow and arrow. If the Divine Arm Bow could still kill, but the power was much less. If you encounter a soldier wearing thick armor, it is estimated that the effect will not be too good.

Soon, Lu Huiqing was also invited to the earthen wall, looking at the dense holes on the earthen wall, Lu Huiqing sighed: "If this hits people, where can I stand it?" ”

"My lord, in fact, this kind of lethality is not very harmful to the war horse, especially when the distance is too far, the damage of thirty steps is considerable, but it is too close, and the soldier has no time to react after launching to face the iron hooves of the cavalry, so the performance on the battlefield is not satisfactory."

"Renjie, don't be presumptuous, this is already more powerful than the assault rifle, I don't know how much. Which officials of the Ministry of Industry are full of fat brains, but the corpses are vegetarian, so that the soldiers of my border army will use their lives to become their entry steps, and the old man has to join them! ”

After seeing Lu Huiqing for a few hours, this old man couldn't help but want to participate in this and that. Unlike Zhang Dan, who is not clean under his ass, especially relatives, he is a pig teammate.

Lu Huiqing's private life is really flawless, and there is no place for his family to be attacked by him.

This has made him have strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, of course, if this kind of combat power is made to be the middle of the imperial history, it will naturally be able to achieve the greatest release. It's a pity that now Lu Huiqing is trapped in the northwest, if Yan Yanlu is unfavorable in this war with Western Xia, Lu Huiqing will bear a great responsibility.

Even if it is not degraded, it will trap this big guy who once surprised the court and even could wrestle with Boss Wang.

Youlong Shoal is estimated to be Lu Huiqing's situation now.

But fortunately, Hao Sui came, and Emperor Zhao Xu didn't necessarily really like Lu Huiqing, but Zhao Xu, who had already begun to ponder the art of power, was no longer the ignorant and careless teenager in the harem.

Perhaps, it is really possible for Lu Huiqing to return to the court.

In essence, Lu Huiqing's hatred for Zhang Dian and others is probably no worse than his hatred for conservatives.

But now it's not a question of pondering that. Li Kui was worried about the lack of attack power of the firecracker, and wanted to forge a heavier, larger-caliber cannon. This is the king of war, not the firearm used as a transition. Introducing this kind of weapon, Li Kui naturally has the momentum of the world, but he can't just talk about the advantages, but also the shortcomings. The shortcomings of this weapon are obvious, and they are deadly.

Li Kui said: "If Lu Gong doesn't know, the kid might as well talk about the advantages and disadvantages of artillery." In the face of heavy cavalry, especially the highly protective Iron Harrier, the lethality of the fire gun is greatly reduced, unless solid projectiles are used instead. But it's not easy to build, and if a three-pound projectile is hit, it doesn't matter if it's a human or a war horse, it's crippled if it doesn't die. This is where this weapon will be best used on the battlefield against heavy cavalry in the future. In particular, the bed crossbow is heavy and unsuitable for use on the battlefield. ”

"Secondly, there is large-caliber artillery. The caliber of today's fire guns is too small, and they can only hit very small iron and stone shots. Only by increasing the caliber can it exert itself to create sufficient lethality. If there were artillery and ammunition of these two calibers, Jinmingzhai would not only be able to save, but also severely damage the party members. ”

"Of course, artillery is not without a little drawback, compared to the bow and crossbow, it is still a heavy problem. This can be solved with pack horses, but if it is raining or snowy, and the gunpowder is damp, the artillery will not only not be a battlefield weapon, but even become a burden for foot soldiers. ”

"It's raining, and it's unlikely this season. But the snow ......"

It's late autumn and it's almost winter, and it will start to snow in all parts of the northwest this season because of the cooling. If it really can't be used in rainy and snowy weather, it's really sad.

Cheng Zhijie pondered for a long time and said, "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"The old man also means this, you can't stop trying because of the drawbacks. Because it is not advisable to choke on food, we are now fighting against the water, and Jin Mingzhai can not lose it, that is the best. At that time, the old man will take this big victory to the capital and have face. But if Jin Mingzhai is lost, although we can barely say it by relying on the merits of the heroes, but Your Majesty will probably be disappointed in us. ”

Lu Huiqing's eyes revealed a kind of unrepentant perseverance, most of the characters of the law-changing faction are like this, they don't listen to persuasion, they go all the way to the dark, and they don't repent when they die...... It's like their character, projected everywhere in their usual mannerisms.

Li Kui hesitated: "When I cast these firecrackers in Jingzhao Mansion, it took a lot of effort. ”

"Renjie, your understanding of officialdom is too shallow, how could the officials of Jingzhao Mansion care about your thoughts. I guess, if it weren't for the identity of Grandpa Hao, you wouldn't even be able to summon craftsmen. But Yan Yan Road is different, here the old man has the final say. The old man gave an order, and if anyone did not obey, he would be dealt with by military law. Give me ten days, and the old man will build you an artillery weapon that can be used in battle. ”

Lu Huiqing's cold eyes did not carry a trace of emotion, and no one who heard his assurance would suspect that he could not do it.

But artillery is not easy.

Forget it, when the time comes, he will tell him the key points of attention for casting artillery, and let him decide again.

In addition, Yan'an Mansion cannot do nothing. Li Yun went out of the city without stopping, and went out of the city with two thousand cavalry to harass the party members.

As long as the party commander besieging Jin Mingzhai can divide his troops, Li Yun is already half of the success.

On the main street of the skin, a group of people gathered around the courtyard of the family to comment, and a young man came to see the excitement with a loud voice: "Folks, let one go, let one go." ”

"Boy, what are you squeezing?"

was pushed This person who just wanted to get angry, saw the other party's five big and three thick, and his face was cross-faced, the key was that he was still holding a blade in his hand, and he was obviously not easy to provoke, so he took back the abuse that wanted to attack his soul dignity, and said coldly: "Recruit senior family members, and the monthly salary is twenty times." ”

"What, there's this good thing, I ......"

Dahan stretched out his hand to unveil the list, but was suddenly stopped by the people left and right: "You don't need to unveil the list, just enter the yard." ”

The big man laughed, touched the back of his head and smirked: "I thought it was the rules of the capital, but it turned out that it wasn't!" ”

"Beijing? Have you ever been to the capital? Don't talk nonsense here. A short and fat guy next to him said maliciously. The big man is a good talker, and he stares at each other with big eyes and threatens the other party.

Suddenly, there was a 'Amitabha Buddha', and an old monk behind him spoke: "The two of them have a lot of wisdom roots, and the Buddha is deeply ......."

"Thief bald, say one more word, grandpa will break your mouth full of yellow teeth!"
