Chapter 40: Test firing
Looking at the fifty bright tiger squat cannons in front of him, Xu Meng was overjoyed in his heart, with this cannon, Dingliangzhou was already a sure thing.
"Your Royal Highness, is this tiger squat cannon created by Wang Pu and Ma Jun? If so, can Your Highness reward them well? "Xu Meng knows the importance of talents, especially in the field of science and technology, talents who can create powerful weapons.
Hehehe......
Wang Pu and Ma Jun looked at each other and smiled, naturally they didn't dare to be greedy, "Strategist, the two of us are just small blacksmiths in this mountain valley, how can we create such a powerful weapon?" ”
Xu Meng was even more stunned, and he had a terrifying thought in his heart, and wondered: "This cannon was not created by two people, could it be someone else." ”
And his afterglow had naturally already drifted to Dongfang Yu behind. I saw that the latter was extremely calm, as if everything was expected.
It was really created by His Highness!
If this is the case, then his Highness is really terrifying.
"Haha... Strategist, this cannon was created by His Royal Highness, we just took the drawings and painted the scoop according to the gourd, and created it! Wang Pu said with a smile.
In Xu Meng's heart, how many inextricable threads flashed for a while, which were extremely complicated, "Your Highness is a great talent, we boast of being talented, but next to the palace, we also lose our brilliance in an instant." Xu Meng admired. ”
can be literate and martial, and can make such a sharp weapon, looking at the six hundred years of martial arts, Gao Taizu is not as good as it.
Dongfang Yuwei scratched his head embarrassedly, to be honest, if he wants to pick up wisdom, he is probably not as good as Xu Meng and Tian Ping, but he has a lifetime of memory, and he has experienced more, and he understands nature more.
"The military advisor's words have tormented me, the military advisor is a great talent in the world, and this king wants to return to the court, but your assistance is indispensable!" Dongfang Yu said humbly, "Someone! Loaded with cannonballs, this king wants to test the cannon. ”
"No!"
Wang Pu and Ma Jun hurriedly went down to order, and several people took ammunition and a tiger squat cannon and went to the site dedicated to testing the power of the cannon.
Set up carefully and spread out the shells.
The head and tail of the tiger squat cannon are two feet long, and seven iron hoops are added around the body, and the head of the cannon is erected by two iron claws, and there are iron stumbling, with a total weight of 33 catties. Before firing, the cannon body must be fixed on the ground with a big iron nail, and each launch can be filled with a hundred small lead or small pebbles weighing five coins, and the top is pressed with a large lead bullet or a large stone bullet weighing 30 taels, and the large and small bullets fly out together when launched, the roar is like thunder, and the lethality and radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field warfare, bombarding the enemy's dense combat formation, and effectively suppressing its crazy offensive.
After making all the preparations, Wang Pu trotted over and reported: "Your Highness, the tiger squat cannon has been set up, aiming at the target, ready to fire at any time." ”
The target is the rock in front of it that is made of white lime in a circle, with a range of 100 meters. It's still too narrow here, but if you test the gun, you can have a distance of 100 meters, which is already very good. But! Anyway, at the test launch stage, a hundred meters is enough.
"Let's get started!" Dongfang Yu said indifferently.
And Xu Meng opened his eyes wide, fixed on the cannon in front of him, and was already bullseye, for fear that he would miss some wonderful moment.
"No!"
After receiving the order, Wang Jun immediately picked up the red and white flags in his hand and began to command.
"Ready, one cannon shot, stone target center."
First, the cannon was loaded and ignited.
"Put!"
The cannonball was fired, and the spark-like debris bloomed in the barrel of the cannon. The whining sound of the wind hit the rock wall directly.
Rumble......
Suddenly! The explosion exploded, the debris on the rock wall splashed, the loud roar was like thunder, deafening, and at this moment, the ground under his feet seemed to tremble slightly.
A small cannonball is so terrifying.
After the smoke dissipated, the broken rock, bombed into a shattered stone cave, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at the smashed rock wall, Xu Meng was shocked and couldn't help exclaiming: "The power of this small cannon is so terrifying, although it is not comparable to the Shenwu cannon, but the other advantages of this small cannon are not comparable to the Shenwu cannon?" ”
"Your Highness! With this magic cannon in hand, don't say that there are 30,000 soldiers in the three counties, even if the soldiers in the three counties are exhausted, the ministers are not afraid of a point. ”
The small cannon weighs thirty-three pounds, and it can be easily hiked in the mountains and forests, and the power of the explosion is also not low. It is also melee cavalry and infantry, which can also cause fatal damage.
Hahaha......
Dongfang Yu laughed heartily, and his heart was extremely refreshed, "The military advisor is confident, and the stone in the king's heart can finally fall to the ground." ”
"Wang Pu! I'll send someone over later, and remove all the Tiger Cannons, and a thousand shells; As for the Frankie cannon that the king asked you to build, I will hurry up and build one or two in the near future; The enemy army can attack, and the cannons defending the city can be handed over to the city defense guards as soon as possible. ”
In fact! To be honest, if it is a big battle, Dongfang Yu still focuses on the Frankie cannon of the Ming Dynasty, which is hugely powerful, but the tiger squat cannon is more than several times, and! Compared with the weight of the Hongyi cannon of the ancient Ming Dynasty, it is also much lighter.
If so! There is a sharp weapon for attacking the city.
After trying the cannon, Dongfang Yu and Xu Meng also returned to the county government.
At this time, Beiliang was quiet and solemn, and the cold wind was still blowing, but the strong smell of gunpowder was permeating the sky.
According to the plan, the forces of Beiliang at this moment are extremely quiet, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent.
Zuli County, dusty forces.
Tear and pull!
Under the county town, there was a neighing of war horses, and the defenders of the city immediately found themselves vigilant.
When I saw that there were only a few people, I was relieved.
"Stop! Who are you? Dare to ride a horse. "The captain of the guard guarding the city, shouted loudly. Even if you make people stare at a few people.
Judging from the other party's attire and dress, it shouldn't be an ordinary person.
The man in the city tightened the horse rope and shouted at the soldiers in the city, "Blind your dog's eyes, I am the son of General Pei's mansion, Pei Yuanqing is also!" I came to Zuli today to discuss with General Yang, and I have important matters, so I don't want to release it quickly. ”
Releasing Pei Yuanqing back is also part of Dongfang Yu's plan, and that's the only way! will let Yangchen and others let go of their vigilance against Pei Hao in the west. Instead, he concentrated on the crusade against Qin.
Of course! There are 10,000 horses in the Qin region, and Yang Chen and the others will naturally not send the main force.
The face of the chief guard in the city was a little unnatural, Pei Yuanqing's reputation in Beiliang has been too great recently, brave and good at fighting, extremely brave, with the eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammer in his hand, he can almost be compared with Ma Chao, the first warrior in Beiliang.
And under the city is Pei Yuanqing, how can he not be surprised.
Grunt!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the chief of the guard continued: "Pei Gongzi, wait a minute, I will let it go." ”
And in private, someone has been sent to the county government to report.
