Chapter 16 Who said that the ancients used gunpowder as firecrackers?

I ask for a favorite, a recommendation, and a click

"Damn, is there a second traverser besides me? Why did even the musket come out?" Wen Fei scolded in his heart. After hearing a thud, the Tanguts receded like a tide. Only then did he feel a little relieved, it seemed that the muskets in the hands of these people were still very primitive and could not be fired continuously.

In fact, the power of these muskets of the Tangut people was far less than Wen Fei imagined!

"It's a firebolt!" Uncle Zhang said in a deep voice. Wen Fei was taken aback, could it be that this guy also crossed over?

Although it is generally believed in the academic circles that the metal tubular firearm first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, the National Military Museum collection of Yuan Wenzong Zhishun three years of the thick copper firecracker, is considered to be the world's earliest existing metal tube-shaped firecracker. However, in Wuwei, Gansu Province and Yinchuan, Ningxia, the birthplaces of the Western Xia, the Western Xia copper fire guns were found successively. Moreover, the Dunhuang silk painting of the demon subjugation with a tube-shaped flamethrower unearthed in Dunhuang seems to indicate that this kind of firearm has been used in the northwest region. At that time, Dunhuang was originally within the territory of Western Xia.

These two kinds of Western Xia firearms, like the Yuan firecrackers in the collection of the Military Museum, are all cast in bronze. However, compared with the Yuan gun, it shows more primitiveness, such as simple structure, extensive system, uneven surface of the gun, and obvious unmodified fan seams. It is a very primitive firecracker, which is naturally very powerful, and it is also very unexpected.

There was a lively banging sound for a while, but it really didn't kill many people. First, the firearm was rougher than the smoothbore, and second, the gunpowder was pitifully weak.

I saw the Song army, who had also been wounded by three or four guards on the city wall, and even one was not far from Wen Fei, who was shot in the shoulder, and blood flowed for a long time. But that's it!

At this time, the Song army guarding the parapet wall reacted, and shot arrows with bows one after another, but shot dozens of Western Xia soldiers. Such a farce-like battle came to an end.

In the entire Song army camp, everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know what the Tangut people were smoking? Could it be a new weapon?

On the side of the Western Xia people, seeing this kind of battle result, Ye Li Yin's face turned iron-blue: "Is this the demon pestle of those Buddhas? Why is the power so poor?"

Ye Li Yin begged beside him, this time there was no son of the patriarch of the Shibi tribe standing, but a fat-headed and big-eared monk said: "The noble man said that he laughed, and we monks are compassionate. Where can you use murderous things, these demon pestles are all treasures used to eliminate demons. But it's not for killing people on the battlefield......"

Ye Li Yin sneered: "That's a good thing, but how did I see that the demon slaying pestle used by the wizard of the Song people is so powerful?

Fan Seng was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Impossible, right? Wu Buried was killed?" Wu Buried is a famous warrior among the Western Xia people, and he is very famous in the entire Western Xia.

"Is it true that your Buddha's magic power is inferior to that sorcerer's god, so the power of your magic weapons is not comparable to his?" Ye Li said coldly.

Fan Seng scolded in his heart, but Yeli Yin Begging's family was the most powerful family in Western Xia, and it was not easy for him to offend. Just said: "In this way, this temple will send people to arrest that wizard and wait for the fate of the nobleman!"

Ye Li Yin nodded with satisfaction this time, he naturally knew that these monks had great power in Western Xia, and there were endless capable masters. I didn't dare to offend too much, so I bowed my head and said, "So, all the qiē please!"

Wen Fei didn't know that he had done this thing today, and he wondered for a long time like Uncle Zhang, and he didn't know what these Xixia people were doing today.

Asked about this fire, Uncle Zhang said: "I have heard some people talk about these things, it is said that in the hands of those monks in the territory of Western Xia, there is a magic weapon called the demon pestle, which can spew fire and loud noises, I think these things are these!"

Wen Fei didn't care to feel that these Western Xia monks were so awesome and had come up with such advanced things! I have all of them!"

Wen Fei sighed, he didn't expect that there were also these firecrackers in the Great Song Dynasty. But I heard Zhang Shuye continue: "More than ten years ago, our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia fought a battle in Lanzhou, and we used incendiary rockets and artillery to win. However, at that time, we used a huge bamboo barrel as the body of the gun, which was filled with gunpowder and bullets. After igniting the fuse, the gunpowder erupted, shooting the "Ziyi" at a range of up to 150 steps. ”

After listening to Uncle Zhang's explanation, Wen Fei was completely messy in the wind. Who said that the Chinese invented gunpowder, and it turned out to be used as a firecracker for the New Year? Our China used it to fight wars in the 10th century AD, okay? Grandma's originally wanted to use a pistol as a palm thunder to fool these Song Dynasty leopards. As a result, today, I was a little shocked!

With this resentment, Wen Fei drove the car, left the Northern Song Dynasty, and returned to modern times. More and more, he found that the truth of history seemed to be much more interesting than he knew!

This time I didn't come back with the goods, so it was much easier. Wen Fei made a big circle, then bypassed the highway, and returned to the city from the other direction. Although he didn't feel the need to be so careful, he wasn't afraid of 10,000, just in case, and it took more than three hours to go back and forth. didn't drive a broken truck out to swagger through the market, but changed back to his Hummer, and went to find Changyu, the dead fat man.

These days, this fat man has been busy with the affairs of the house in the old town, and if you want to open a restaurant in this kind of place, it is not so easy to talk about it.

Driving the windy Humvee, all the way to the old town. I felt that the road was too narrow, and if there were two cars, the whole road would be occupied. Fortunately, if this is still H3, if it is a more domineering H2, a car may take up most of the road.

But Wen Fei would never have imagined that the entire old house had changed greatly. Before he got closer, he was taken aback when he saw the old house from a distance, and thought he was in the wrong place.

The courtyard walls, which were originally plastered with white lime and looked dirty and low, have completely changed. The original layer of white lime that looked uncomfortable was shoveled away, revealing the original color of the wall, and the blue-black bricks of Yishui looked like they had a historical background.
