Chapter 39: Tiger Squat Cannon

"Who is the advisor trying to convince? The four major forces in Liangzhou have suitable candidates in mind. Dongfang Yu asked.

"Pei Hao of Wuwei County! As far as I know, this person did not really divide the forces, occupy the two counties, stick to the military pass, and reject the Xiongnu in the north. In fact, my heart is to Dawu, Your Highness! You can write this letter, for which you will be added to the official and knighted, and take refuge in His Royal Highness, Beiliang can basically be determined. ”

Hahaha......

Dongfang Yu laughed, "Mr. Pei Yuanqing? ”

"Pei Yuanqing, isn't that Pei Hao's only son?" Xu Meng wondered why King Qin was laughing so much.

"Don't hide it from the military advisor, Pei Yuanqing has already served under me, and Pei Hao has also surrendered to me. This matter! Only Prime Minister Tian and I know, and the other generals don't know yet! ”

"But! Pei Yuanqing was in office under this king, and the other generals naturally guessed a lot. Right now! Military advisors can have a strategy to control the enemy. Dongfang Yu explained.

On that day, Pei Hao and Pei Yuanqing, father and son, visited Qin in casual clothes, and they had the intention of surrendering; He just pushed the boat down the river and took Pei Hao down.

secretly maintains the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but in the open, a hostile relationship is also exposed, in order not to let the other three families suspect. At the moment, plus Pei Hao's 40,000 troops in Wuwei and Xuanwei counties, it is enough to pacify Liangzhou!

Oh...

Xu Meng looked surprised and exclaimed, "If that's the case, it's really good!" ”

"I have a plan in mind! His Highness can deploy troops as much as possible. ”

But! Before the transfer of troops, he still had a secret weapon that he hadn't taken out!

"Strategist! And follow me to a place, this king has a secret weapon, and if it is used properly, it can destroy the enemy without losing a single soldier. Dongfang Yu said mysteriously.

Xu Meng's eyes narrowed deeply, and he muttered in his heart, can he destroy the enemy army without losing a single soldier, can there be such a weapon in the world?

"Then Your Highness, please first!" Xu Meng was a little curious, what kind of weapon could be so magical.

Turning around the backyard of the palace, he walked straight to the back. In a remote deep forest outside the city, dense forests and bamboos, until a very remote ravine is a relatively wide open space.

Where are a few newly built brand new houses, and the sound of ping-pong iron, crisp and loud in the mountains and forests. and the thick rock walls, with several large destroyed and somewhat blackened rotten stone walls.

What a sharp weapon, it can have such great power, he only remembers! Only the Shenwu cannon on the defense of the imperial capital and the coastline has the power to destroy the rocks and open the mountain, is it difficult to succeed! In this small ravine, are there weapons comparable to Shenwu cannons?

"Could it be that His Highness also has a Shenwu cannon?" Xu Meng suddenly paused and couldn't help asking.

The Shenwu Cannon, known as the artifact of the Great Wu Kingdom, was made by Emperor Dewu two hundred years ago. During the succession of Emperor Dewu, he was very fond of firearms, especially gunpowder, and made mine canisters one by one!

Then came the fire gun, and then the Shenwu cannon. The Shenwu cannon is huge, and the cannonballs are fired, and it is almost a large piece of death, when the Huns went south! Without knowing it, he suffered a big loss and suffered heavy casualties. For this! Emperor Dewu, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, once crossed the Yanmen Pass, and the northern Xiongnu had to kneel and beg for mercy. Negotiate peace at a loss, and swear to submit to the Great Martial Kingdom forever and never rebel again. Afterward! The Shenwu cannon naturally became a weapon for the Dawu Kingdom.

Not only the imperial capital, but also the eastern defense coast, are equipped with cannons, mainly to resist the Japanese invaders.

But! The shortcomings of the Shenwu cannon are extremely obvious, the Shenwu cannon has a large cannon body, and the total weight of the cannon body reaches three tons, which is extremely difficult to transport, and it is basically based on plain warfare and siege and defense warfare.

"What this king has built is not a Shenwu cannon, which is bulky and unsuitable for walking; The king ordered the creation of a light cannon. Dongfang Yu said lightly.

How can it be said that in the previous life, he was also the first special forces in China, producing modern artillery, and with the current technology, it is impossible to manufacture modern weapons without three or five years. Even if there was that time, Dongfang Yu didn't have that technology in his mind.

After all! The secret research of the state's weapons is very secretive, and he may not have this qualification as a special soldier.

Of course! If you copy the gun technology of the Ming Dynasty in the early years, you can still do it. After all! In today's Dawu, the technology of artillery and firearms is not perfect, and only a few large cities are equipped with Shenwu cannons, and there are some small and light artillery on warships.

But even so, equipped with small and light guns on a warship, without four or five people, could not lift the cannon body.

"Meet Your Highness."

At this time, the two middle-aged masters, seeing Dongfang Yu's arrival, hurriedly paid a visit.

"Military division, this is the chief forging division in charge of the manufacture of firearms in the arsenal, Wang Pu and Ma Jun, some water conservancy equipment outside the county are forged by two people." Dongfang Yu introduced.

Wang Pu and Ma were both born in a family of blacksmiths, and they also studied some strange weapons.

"Wang Pu, Ma Jun, how is the cannon that this king asked you to make?" Dongfang Yu asked.

"Your Highness, please come with me!"

Wang Pu led the way, "Quick? Bring up all the cannons we have made to Your Highness. ”

Then! One small cannon after another was lifted up, and to Xu Meng's surprise, these small cannons could be carried by one person. If it is used in marching battles, the advantage of these cannons is absolutely great, at least light and small cannons, which can be moved at any time, even if they encounter enemy cavalry, they are not easy to be cut off. I just don't know, how powerful are these small cannons?

"Your Highness! This tiger squat cannon was originally designed according to the drawings given by His Royal Highness, weighing only thirty-three pounds, and our soldiers were enough for each person to carry easily. ”

"Plus! After our test firing, it was similar to what His Highness said, the range was not far 500 meters, and it was extremely lethal to the enemy's soldiers and cavalry in close combat. Wang Pu introduced. According to the requirements of His Royal Highness, fifty tiger squat cannons and 1,000 ammunition were built. ”

"Good!"

Dongfang Yu was very satisfied, "Strategist! How is it! With this cannon, whether it is a mountain or a plain, its effect is very great, especially when fifty tiger squat cannons are fired at the same time, and the enemy is stunned. ”

The tiger squat cannon is created by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to facilitate shooting, the cannon is placed in a fixed posture, very similar to the appearance of the tiger squatting, so it is named. The Tiger Squat Cannon is not very powerful, similar to today's mortars, it is mainly a curved artillery, suitable for fighting areas such as mountains, forests, and paddy fields that hinder the mobility of artillery.

The most commonly used firearm in Qi Jiguang's army, this kind of lightweight artillery has a thin barrel and a firing range of not far (500 meters), suitable for mountain warfare, mobile and flexible, due to the front loading, it can be launched at a large elevation angle and a large number of equipment for grassroots troops, which has the same use as today's mortars.
