I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 167 The Red Barbarian Cannon Comes Out
Just like that, Mao Dun completely conquered the entire Donghu.

Years earlier than in history.

Unified the entire grassland.

And when Maodun unified the Mobei Grassland.

a few days later.

Ying Changsheng appeared in a workshop in Xianyang City.

At this moment, he is staring at a huge cylindrical object made of bronze in front of him.

At this moment, this cylindrical object attracted Ying Changsheng's attention.

the reason is simple.

This thing is unusual.

This thing, he has an extremely mighty name.

It's called a cannon!

This thing is the future god of war!
For the cannon.

Ying Changsheng has always wanted to create this thing for the successful ones.

However, the problem is.

Cannons are not so easy to make.

the reason is simple.

At present, Daqin has no experience in casting cannons at all.

Although, in the pre-Qin period, Chinese craftsmen were able to make excellent bronze tripods.

However, the bronze tripod gives the bronze cannon.

There is still a slight difference.

And after the invention of gunpowder.

In fact, Ying Changsheng has been ordering the craftsmen of Shaofu and Gongshu Shangzao this guy.

To study, how to cast cannons.

Today, it has been tried and cast many times.

After casting a cannon each time.

Doing it first.

Just try it first.

Load a certain amount of gunpowder, and then, according to the method Ying Changsheng instructed, try to fire a shot.

Let's see if this cannon will be directly blown up.

before.

The dozen or so cannons that were trial-produced were all because of the cannon itself, which was not cast well, had cracks inside, or the barrel was too thin, or it was a problem with the craftsmanship!

and cannot be used.

It took a lot of time.

Of course, it didn't cost too much money.

the reason is simple.

Bronze cast cannon.

It is actually a recyclable resource!
Bronze for bronze cannons.

After using.

It's ok to melt again.

Continue to use it to cast cannons.

It's just, tossing back and forth.

Just a waste of time.

At this moment, when the first cannon has been successfully tested dozens of times without a barrel, and there is no crack in the cannon body, after being tried to cast it.

All of a sudden, Gongshu Shangzao immediately sent someone to notify Ying Changsheng.

Then, bring Ying Changsheng over to inspect the cannon.

And Ying Changsheng will naturally not forget it.

Pull Yingzheng over.

After all, this cannon.

Still quite important.

Once made successfully.

In the future, it can become a new military weapon!

I only saw that when I rushed to the test site.

Looking at the bronze cannon mounted on a two-wheeled gun carriage in front of him, Ying Zheng inevitably frowned and muttered.

"Is this thing really powerful?"

"Really, how many miles can the iron bullet be shot?"

"Then, conquer the city and conquer everything?"

"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng nodded, and Brother Chaozheng explained.

"The power of this cannon is no small matter. It can be said that once the cannon is fired, it will rot for dozens of miles!"

Ying Changsheng's words are a bit exaggerated.

However, speaking these days, one has to exaggerate.

Moreover, the cannon he trial-produced.

Speaking of it, it is really similar to the Hongyi cannon that was called by the literati in history and has been corrupted for dozens of miles.

All big cannons.

I saw that Ying Changsheng patiently explained the principle of the cannon to Ying Zheng.

"Father, this cannon sounds complicated. In fact, it is nothing more than a large musket. Do you understand?"

"what?"

Win the government and hear the words.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt that it made sense.

This bronze cannon.

it looks.

It's probably just one, a large bird gun.

Seeing him couldn't help curling his lips.

"I thought it was something rare. It turned out to be such a thing. Try launching it quickly and let me see how powerful this thing is!"

And Ying Zheng's orders have already been issued, and Ying Changsheng will naturally not be negligent in the slightest. Immediately, he waved his hand, signaling to the gunner in the distance and said.

"The gunner prepares, loads, and fires!"

"promise!"

The artilleryman didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and immediately followed Ying Changsheng's order.

Start to fill the barrel with black powder.

After the gunpowder is loaded.

He inserted the fuze again, and immediately loaded an iron round shell weighing about ten catties into the barrel.

I saw several gunners, after doing this, they immediately lit the fuse towards a brick wall in the distance.

Not long after the fuze burned out.

In the air, there was a deafening cannon sound.

Immediately, only the muzzle of the gun was seen, with violent flames and thick smoke spraying out.

Immediately, only the inside of the gun bore was seen.

A big iron ball slammed into the distant brick wall in the midst of the air.

Immediately, the brick wall was knocked down directly.

And this is more than 300 steps away.

For a while, what I watched was Ying Zheng, and I was shocked inexplicably.

He couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.

"The power of this cannon is indeed extraordinary!"

"If this thing is used to attack the city, then no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be blown away by this thing sooner or later!"

"Moreover, the range of this thing is still far away. From such a long distance, it can be, and it is so powerful!"

"Father, you only saw a little of the power of this cannon. There are other, bigger uses for this cannon!"

Ying Changsheng smiled and said to Ying Zheng.

Early muzzle-loading gunpowder gun.

Although behind.

However, the cannon shells he fired.

There are also types of bombs, which are quite complicated.

I only heard Ying Changsheng explaining to Ying Zheng.

"Father, the types of shells are different, and the environments they deal with are also different. If you don't believe me, you will know after seeing it..."

"Oh?"

When Ying Zheng heard the words, he immediately became interested, and he asked.

"What's the difference here?"

And Ying Changsheng didn't intend to explain the effects of the different shells to Ying Zheng bit by bit.

He said to Brother Zheng with a smile.

"Father, if you say a thousand words, ten thousand words, it's better to let you see it with your own eyes!"

After speaking, Ying Changsheng immediately ordered people to be within a range of about [-] meters in front of the cannon's muzzle.

There are densely packed, hundreds of scarecrows.

On these scarecrows.

They were all put on a suit of armor.

I saw that Ying Changsheng waved his big hand and said to the gunner.

"This time, shoot shotgun!"

"promise!"

The gunner did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Immediately, according to Ying Changsheng's instructions, the gunpowder was loaded.

Into the muzzle, a full dozen catties of lead bullets the size of pigeon bullets were poured.

Immediately afterwards, the lead wire behind was ignited, and the launch was completed.

In the roaring sound of cannons, countless lead bullets were fired, like a whirlwind, sweeping the hundreds of scarecrows in the distance.

Those scarecrows were beaten in pieces.
