Chapter 167: The Hongyi Cannon Comes Out

In this way, Mao Dun completely conquered the entire Donghu.

This is several years earlier than in history.

Unified the entire steppe.

And when Maudun unified the Mobei grassland.

A few days later.

Ying Changsheng appeared in a workshop in Xianyang City.

At this moment, he was staring at a huge cylindrical object made of bronze in front of him.

At this moment, this cylindrical object attracted Ying Changsheng's attention.

The reason is simple.

This thing is not ordinary.

He's got a name for it, it's extremely powerful.

It's called a cannon!

This thing is the god of war in the future!

For the cannon.

Win Changsheng has always had to make this thing successful and successful.

The problem, however, is this.

Cannons, but not so easy to make.

The reason is simple.

At the moment, Daqin has no experience in casting cannons at all.

Although, in the pre-Qin period, the craftsmen of China were able to make excellent bronze tripods.

However, the bronze tripod gives the bronze cannon.

There's still a slight gap.

And after the invention of gunpowder.

In fact, Win Changsheng has been instructing the craftsmen of Shaofu and the guy who is losing to Shang.

To study, how to cast cannons.

Now, it has been tried, and it has been cast many times.

After each successful casting of a cannon.

The first to do it.

It's just to try it out first.

Fill a certain amount of gunpowder, and then, according to the method ordered by Ying Changsheng, try to shoot a shot.

Let's see if this cannon will be directly damaged.

before.

The more than a dozen cannons in trial production are not well cast because of the cannon itself, there are cracks in it, or the gun chamber is too thin, or it is a problem with the process!

and cannot be used.

It took quite a bit of time.

Of course, it didn't cost much money.

The reason is simple.

Bronze of a cast cannon.

In fact, it is a recyclable resource!

Bronze cannon with bronze.

After use.

It's okay to melt again.

The continued one is used to forge cannons.

It's just a toss back and forth.

It's just a waste of time.

At this moment, when the first one was successfully tested dozens of times, there was no cannon chamber, and the cannon body of the cannon, without any cracks, was tried to be cast.

For a while, the public lost and was made, and immediately sent someone to inform Win Changsheng.

Then, take Ying Changsheng over and review this cannon.

And to win Changsheng, naturally will not forget.

Win the government, and pull it over.

After all, this cannon.

It's still quite important.

Once the production is successful.

In the future, it can become a new militaristic weapon!

I saw it, when I rushed to the test site.

Looking at the bronze cannon in front of him, which was mounted on a two-wheeled gun carriage, Ying Zheng was inevitable, frowning and muttering.

"Is this thing really powerful?"

"Really, how many miles can you beat the iron bullet?"

"And then, conquer the city and conquer everything?"

"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng nodded, and Brother Chaozheng explained.

"The power of this cannon is extraordinary, it can be said that a cannon can erode dozens of miles with one shot!"

Win Changsheng spoke, a little exaggerated.

However, in these years, you have to exaggerate.

Moreover, the cannon that he tried to make.

Speaking of which, it is really similar to the Hongyi cannon that was called by the literati in history and eroded for dozens of miles.

It's all big cannons.

I only saw that Win Changsheng was born, and patiently explained the principle of the cannon to Ying Zheng.

"Father, this cannon is complicated, in fact, it is nothing more than a large, large musket, do you understand?"

"Huh?"

Win the political news.

After pondering it carefully, I suddenly felt that it made sense.

This bronze cannon.

Looks.

It's probably just one, a large bird.

I saw him and couldn't help but pout.

"I should be some kind of rare thing, it turns out to be such a thing, try to launch it, and let me see how powerful this thing is!"

And Ying Zheng's orders have already been issued, and Ying Changsheng will naturally not be the slightest bit lazy, and he immediately waved his big hand and signaled to the gunner in the distance.

"The gunner prepares, loads, and fires!"

"No!"

The artilleryman did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately, according to Win Changsheng's order.

Began to fill the chamber with black powder.

After the gunpowder is reloaded.

He inserted the fuse again, and then loaded an iron round cannonball weighing about ten pounds into the barrel.

I saw that a few gunners, after doing this, immediately lit the fuse towards a brick wall in the distance.

After a short time, after the fuse burns.

In the air, a deafening cannon sound suddenly sounded.

Immediately, I saw only the muzzle of the gun, which erupted fierce flames and thick smoke.

Immediately, only the inside of the gun chamber was seen.

A large iron ball, in the air, slammed into the brick wall in the distance.

Immediately, the brick wall collapsed directly.

And this, but it is more than 300 steps away.

For a while, I watched the winning government, and I was shocked inexplicably.

He couldn't help it, and exclaimed in admiration.

"The power of this cannon, sure enough, is really extraordinary!"

"If you use this thing to attack the city, then probably, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be blasted open by this thing sooner or later!"

"Moreover, the range of this thing is still long, and it can be so powerful at such a long distance!"

"Father, you only see a little bit of the power of this cannon, this cannon, there are other, bigger things!"

Win Changsheng smiled and said to Ying Zheng.

Early front-loading gunpowder cannons.

Although lagging behind.

However, the cannon shells he fired.

There are also bullet types, which are still quite complicated.

I only heard it, Win Changsheng Chao Win Zheng, explained.

"Father, the type of shell of this cannonball is different, and the environment it deals with is also different, if you don't believe it, you can see it, and you will know ......"

"Oh?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested, and he asked.

"What's the difference?"

And Win Changsheng doesn't intend to explain the effect of this different shell to Win Zheng little by little.

He said with a smile to Brother Zheng.

"Father, say a thousand words, ten thousand words, it's better for you to see it with your own eyes!"

As he spoke, Ying Changsheng immediately ordered to put people within a hundred meters of the cannon's muzzle.

Lay down dense, hundreds of scarecrows.

The bodies of these scarecrows.

They were all dressed in armor.

I saw that Win Changsheng waved his big hand and ordered the gunner.

"This time, shoot scattershots!"

"No!"

The gunners did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Immediately, according to Ying Changsheng's instructions, after filling the gunpowder.

Into the muzzle, a dozen pounds of lead bullets the size of pigeon bullets were poured.

Immediately, the lead behind it was ignited and the launch was completed.

In the roaring cannon, countless lead bullets were fired, like a whirlwind, sweeping away the more than 100 scarecrows in the distance.

These scarecrows are scattered.
