Chapter Thirty-Eight: Crushing the Mountain
The gun emplacements at the top of Yuluo Peak are not these hastily made instruments. With sufficient manpower and a better understanding of heavy equipment, Jiang Mei knows how to make things with the least amount of labor and do it well. However, after one or two rounds of use, the hastily made equipment is still okay, and if it is used again, the problem of insufficient material and structural strength will become more and more serious. It may still be used for siege or defense, but it is absolutely inadequate in high-precision and difficult work such as anti-aircraft shooting.
On that gun emplacement, there were belongings saved by the Black Wind Village, six hybrid obsidian cannons and nine heavy ballistas.
The hybrid obsidian cannon is considered to be the original creation of the Chu State. The barrel of this cannon is chiseled out of obsidian, and then the chamber is poured with special metal and then carefully polished. The recipe for that particular metal is still a secret of some families, the recipe and the process are difficult and expensive, and not many people have the money to use that metal to cast the entire cannon, and obsidian wrapped in it is only a stopgap measure.
The obsidian cannon is completely different from the fairy stone cannon when it is fired, and it is basically the traditional way of artillery: fill it with medicine, then ignite it, and push the cannonball out by the burning of gunpowder. However, because of the different structures and materials of the cannon body, the medicinal materials used in the obsidian cannon are also completely different. It was made by mixing immortal stone powder with other materials, and although there were not many people who mastered this formula, there were still a lot more people than those who mastered the metal used in the chamber of the obsidian cannon. The obsidian cannon had no medicine line, and after filling it with the medicine and shells, the gunner injected a large amount of spiritual power to send the shells out. The accuracy and accuracy of the obsidian cannon are quite good, and the range is even better than that of the fairy stone cannon. Another advantage is that as long as there are suitable materials and enough money, the obsidian cannon can be made almost unlimited in varieties of larger calibers and more powerful, and it is not limited to the level of cultivation of the people who operate the cannon. You know, the trouble with the fairy stone cannon is that. If the spiritual energy cultivation is not enough, it can't play the fairy stone cannon at all. And the obsidian cannon, as long as 66 is recharged with enough spiritual energy, it will naturally shoot, one person can't come to two, two can't come to a team, as long as the filled spiritual energy reaches a certain level, the medicine will be excited. This is one of the reasons why the Obsidian Cannon can make bigger guys infinitely.
The obsidian cannon that can be obtained in Heifeng Village, although it is not a good product, but it has changed hands I don't know how many times, and it was obtained from the regular army of Chu State. This is also due to the fact that the obsidian cannon is heavier. Not very suitable for aircraft equipment. Although the state of Chu exclusively enjoys the manufacturing technology of obsidian cannons, most of the obsidian cannons of various sizes produced are equipped in places such as checkpoints and border fortresses. Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers in these places are not as good as those on the flying boats and cloud shuttles, and they are very careless on weekdays, and they can't take good care of the artillery, but this also gives many people with ill intentions the opportunity to start. The six obsidian cannons and those heavy ballistas in Heifeng Village were all obtained from the army by Xu Er's family in the past, who didn't know how much money it took and how much effort he tossed and turned. The money spent on this has made Heifeng Village empty its savings for several years, and everyone still has a lot of complaints when it comes to this matter until now.
But. In the past, not many people in the Black Wind Village really didn't know what was going on with the obsidian cannon. In order to prevent the cannons from being used badly, Xu Er's family had to pile the cannons in the warehouse. But these things that have been sleeping for a while have given Cheng Bang and Jiang Mei some surprises. It's not just because he has a little more certainty in the face of the popular Chamber of Commerce. What's more, if you can learn the secrets of the obsidian cannon through such an opportunity as guò, you may be able to take a little advantage in the war between Chu and Yue.
It took less than a cup of tea for the obsidian cannons and heavy ballistas to prepare and fire. The obsidian cannon fired not a simple round cannonball or a spirit stone blaster, but a steel bolt tied to a rope. The tip of the giant arrow has a unique bracket. After shooting through a material such as a wooden plank, it directly unfolds a crossbar covered with sharp thorns, and directly jams the giant arrow in the piercing position. It is impossible to unload it without a lot of effort.
The fifteen giant arrows with ropes fired by the six obsidian cannons and nine heavy ballistas were not very good, and the arrows that were fired at the two ships were only one that pierced the one that was a little out of order due to the tossing of the little gold. However, it would be a great thing to be able to concentrate this at this distance. Although this gun position was equipped with the most expensive equipment in the cottage, they didn't expect to shoot many times at all. Before the other party reacts, there are only one or two shots at most. Being able to hit one in the first round was far from their worst expectations.
"Hold the tail of the rope, hurry up, hang the chain!" Seeing that the giant arrow hit, Lin Yuan, the small leader at the top of Yuluo Peak who was in charge of commanding the artillery position, hurriedly shouted. The villagers on one side hurriedly coiled the rope on the ground, and before they finished walking, they connected the hook at the other end of the rope with the other rope end tied to the hook on the side. Everyone felt very relieved...... They've done it, and it's impossible for them to prepare another one with the things at the end of the rope. And now, that's all they can do.
"Hurry, don't let them pull out their arrows. Lin Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered: "Move the cannon away." They'll be ready to shoot at any time. ”
Lin Yuan's order refocused everyone's spirits. At the other end of the rope on this side of the ground was a string of iron nails three feet long, each of which wedged deep into a huge rock. Flying Stone, that's what the people around here call this stone. It is precisely because of this huge "flying stone" that Yuluofeng looks a little interesting. However, now this flying stone has been driven with so many huge iron nails, firmly connected to the thick rope.
Lin Yuan gave an order, and several people guarding the edge of the Feilai Stone hurriedly pulled the crowbar that had been prepared long ago, and directly pried the Feilai Stone that had been loosened earlier off the cliff.
All I could hear was a loud rumbling sound, and the flying stone dragged the rope and flew down, and the rope coiled on the ground disappeared almost instantly. The rope between the flying stone and the flying boat straightened suddenly, and then it dragged the flying boat downward. At that moment, everyone on the flying boat felt as if a huge hand instantly grabbed the flying boat and slammed it down. And the crew members around the board of the ship shot through by the giant arrow could hear the terrifying creaking sound of the entire board under the pull of the huge force, mixed with the sound of many wooden planks breaking and iron nails crashing.
The captain was stunned for a moment, firmly grasped the guardrail beside him with both hands, and then shouted at the sound pipe leading to the bilge: "Quickly cut the rope and level the flying boat, otherwise it will be all over." ”
However, even those masters of the Exciting Period on the flying boat have become rolling gourds at this moment, busy grabbing the guardrails or other fixed things around them to stabilize their figures, and they are still dizzy, frightened and dazed. The ordinary crew members were even more unbearable, and when the flying boat leaned a little more, some of the crew members even scrambled around the end of the corridor, screaming in horror.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the people on the other flying boat turned pale. They were attacked by rockets and oil bombs before, although they felt that the other party was well prepared and could cause them some trouble, but they were somewhat unimpressed, and they all felt that they could only see the real chapter when they turned back and fought face to face, and they would definitely be able to make the other party die without a place to bury them. However, in just an instant, a flying boat was about to be pulled into the abyss, and this kind of impact was not something that anyone could bear. At a distance, especially in the air, the momentum of the flying stone dragging the flying boat down is particularly clear, and the impact is even more sufficient.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and ordered, "Go over and help!"
The captain was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "How can you help?" He didn't know if the other party had similar arrangements for them, only that the other party's preparations were unexpectedly complete and had the ability to hurt them. In this case, it is either to rise to a height beyond the reach of the opponent and then counterattack, or to rescue another flying boat first and then make plans, perhaps, it is also a good idea to meet the people traveling on the ground and prepare for it together.
But since Qin Feng ordered to help, the captain's knee-jerk reaction was to adjust the direction and altitude and rush towards the direction in which the other flying boat fell.
The flying boat, from being shot by a giant steel arrow to being dragged by a giant arrow and falling to the ground, was only a matter of an eye, and no one had time to react. Although Qin Feng ordered to help, he didn't have a plan in his heart. But subconsciously, he was already afraid that these people in the Black Wind Village could come up with such a delicate and powerful tactic. Although he came to open up the first-line business in Yong'an, as a businessman, he was most concerned about his own life. As long as there is life, there is always a way for him to make a comeback. As soon as the flying boat descended, it reached a height of two or three hundred feet, flew against the ridge, and lifted the degree. Although the artillery bombardment that was prepared before was completely impossible, and even the basic firing range could not be guaranteed, it did prevent the other side from using the same tactics against their own way. This made Qin Feng's heart feel a little safer.
A team had already made their way to the place where the boat had fallen. Jiang Mei led the team. Having had the previous experience on the Huangfeng Float, Jiang Mei now knows all the situations that may occur after the crash of the flying boat. At the beginning, the Huangfeng managed to maintain a minimum of power and fell into the Shifang Mountain, and the degree was not too fast. Now the flying boat was different, and it almost fell into the valley in a daze. It is difficult to say how many people on the flying boat will survive and how many will maintain their combat strength. Jiang Mei just wanted to confirm it as soon as possible, and then he could decide whether to clean up the scene or bring people to directly assist and intercept the ground troops.
Moreover, when it came to this journey, Jiang Mei felt that he had done everything he could. Since such a layout was conceived, and it was indeed as Cheng Bang expected, the other party let the flying boat lower the altitude, then Cheng Bang, who was almost like a god in the process of dealing with the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce this time, should also appear on his own to shake the prestige of the leader of the Black Wind Village.
