In the cabin.

Looking at the cannon covered with heavy canvas, He Anyi and Jiang Wulang looked at each other, is this thing really effective?

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and pulled the cloth away, and saw what was covered under the heavy linen cloth.

Twenty-four artillery pieces!

Luo Fengtang looked at He Anyi and Jiang Wulang and said, "Good thing. When you use it tomorrow, you will know how powerful this thing is."

He smiled and stroked the Shenwei cannon and said: "The emperor gave you a delayed wooden disk fuse. Unfortunately, the bullets used today are still iron bullets. The Science and Technology Garden is still researching explosive bullets that can explode."

At this time, he came back with the cannon and also had the task of collecting data.

Collect data through actual combat, and then craftsmen will give improvement suggestions to Daqi Science and Technology Garden. Now, some of Daqi's equipment can no longer be understood by everyone and require professionals to follow.

Luo Fengtang has been at home these days, and he is not idle at all. He has carefully figured out the various functions and usage methods of the cannon. Now he is a professional.

It was through this study that he knew that his wife Yang Ruoqing was right. Things like cannons would gradually change the form of war. In the future, it would probably be out of date for generals to join forces and go to war.

Jiang Wulang looked at the bronze cannon and said eagerly: "General, we have been waiting for four or five years, and now we are waiting for such a copper lump? Is it good? It is a mule or a horse. It has to be pulled out for a ride. If you don't wait, now.

Try it."

Luo Fengtang looked at the impatient Jiang Wulang and said: "Wu Lang, don't be impatient. I came here this time and brought something new to the large engineering trebuchet. It's called Thunder! That's gunpowder. The transportation can't be bumpy. It can walk

It’s a bit slow. Let’s wait for a few hours.”

When the thunder came, He Anyi looked at the gunpowder bag in front of him and asked doubtfully: "General, how do you use this thing?"

Luo Fengtang pointed to the wooden disk fuze and said: "There is a delayed wooden disk fuze here. You can adjust the detonation time by turning it. When using it, just light the fuze and throw it out with the trebuchet."

Luo Fengtang sat in front of the table. On the table was a gunpowder bag half a man's height. Such a gunpowder bag weighed about one hundred and fifty kilograms, which was just within the bearing range of a heavy trebuchet.

"Fireworks?" Jiang Wulang asked, poking the gunpowder bag with his finger.

The terrifying number of explosions of the Tribulus Cannon and the slightly weak power of the gunpowder make it a bit useless for military use.

But this also allowed Jiang Wulang to use the tribulus cannon as part of his fireworks offensive.

In Jiang Wulang's view, there are no useless weapons and equipment, only useless generals.

Jiang Wulang always believed that as long as the emperor was willing to provide military rations, armor, weapons, and horses, he would be able to win one victory after another for the emperor!

There are so many bells and whistles, but it’s useless.

As for soldiers dying on the battlefield and being wrapped in horse leather, isn't that the fate of soldiers?

Joining the army means keeping your head in your belt. If you stand up for the army, you will be promoted to a higher rank. If you don't stand up, you will be killed by the enemy.

But here, the Beijing Science and Technology Park is always working on these new inventions.

"Try now?" He Anyi looked at the huge gunpowder bag, but did not dare to poke it with his finger as recklessly as Jiang Wulang.

No matter how useless the Tribulus Cannon is, without armor, if it explodes once, you will be covered in pieces of iron.

How many Han people had he seen killed by iron pieces? Even if they didn't have armor, they would die if they hit a caltrop cannon.

There are hundreds of iron pieces buried in the medicine bag of the tribulus cannon. If it can't explode, it can kill people, but the iron pieces can stab people to death.

This thing was packed so tightly and was much heavier than a caltrop cannon. He was not willing to try it.

He Anyi is a person who just does it. If he tries it, he will try it immediately.

It was already approaching dusk, and there was still a rainbow hanging on the side of the rain. The sun was exerting its last remaining heat and continued to scorch the earth. The sultry and steaming heat made the refreshing feeling of the rain change again.

It becomes stuffy and makes people restless.

The ground after the rain is not muddy, because this kind of thunderstorm comes and goes quickly, and not much rainwater accumulates on the ground.

A heavy trebuchet was pushed from the military camp to the front line by the soldiers and placed at the place where the two thousand steps were completed.

At this time, Fei Xingwei was patrolling the city. Although he entrusted Han Hongtu to send his surrender letter to He'an Yi's army, he never received a reply and knew that he would probably still be in trouble.

"Have some snacks while on duty! A stray arrow will shoot you and your sleepyhead together!" Fei Xingwei kicked a sleeping Khitan soldier, who actually fell asleep while on duty.

When he walked to the west city wall, Fei Xingwei saw the soldiers gathered around the wall and became very angry. Why didn't he see them so lively when he was on duty?

"What are you doing here with your troops? Are they throwing stones from two thousand steps away?"

"I'm afraid of the Qi army. You see, they don't even dare to get closer than 2,000 steps."

"It makes sense, it makes sense! The soldiers who broke up the camp and ran away last time were intercepted and killed by them, but they must have suffered heavy losses and saw how powerful we are. Otherwise, there has been no movement at all in the past three or five days?"

"That's right, the brave Qi Ren! Hahaha!"

…

The soldiers at the top of the city looked at the heavy trebuchet in the distance with laughter, and discussed with laughter, what if it was thrown over, it would just destroy a few battlements, and they could just repair it overnight.

"Go back to your duties! If the Qi army makes a surprise attack, will you still be alive?" Fei Xingwei roared angrily, and the soldiers dispersed like birds and beasts and left the Five Phoenix Tower on the west city wall.

Seeing that the Qi army had no intention of a general attack, Fei Xingwei looked at the trebuchet with some frustration. However, for his own safety, he left the west city wall as quickly as possible. If he was directly hit by the stone of the trebuchet,

He will definitely die!

When Fei Xingwei left the west city wall, he saw that the trebuchet was still loading something but had not fired.

"What the hell?" Fei Xingwei asked in confusion and continued to patrol the city defenses.

Jiang Wulang looked at Luo Fengtang who was making serious calculations. Although he was very anxious, he could only wait.

Luo Fengtang made some gestures on a relatively complicated telescope and said: "Wind speed three, southeast wind, two thousand one hundred steps, turn left four, inclination angle forty, delay fifteen breaths, it will be smooth."

He Anyi pointed at the telescope and said, "General, what is this?"

"The calculation of the rangefinder is more complicated now. After a while, the algorithm can be simplified and the table can be made, and then it can be installed. Above are the wind direction and wind speed meters, which are accessories for the Shenwei cannon and trebuchet. General Yue does not need it.

I'm anxious." Luo Fengtang pointed at the telescope.

"Can we ignite and launch now?" Jiang Wulang looked at Luo Fengtang and asked impatiently.

This is what these scholars are like, they chatter a lot about doing one thing!

"Let's light it up and throw it." Luo Fengtang nodded, looked at the adjusted thunder with confidence and said, "The power will not let you down."

The four people stepping on the trebuchet slowly lifted the boulder counterweighted by the trebuchet, and the projectile rod slowly lowered, making a crunching sound from the iron and wood.

Luo Fengtang used a fire stick to light the wooden fuse with a fifteen-minute delay, and shouted loudly: "Let it go!"
Chapter completed!
