Chapter 168 Arson Bomb, Shocking and Winning the Government
The shotgun shot directly penetrated the armor and bodies of those scarecrows.

What I watched was Yingzheng, which was inexplicably shocking.

I couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This thing is really powerful!"

"If it is on the battlefield, between the battle formations, if a round of shells like this is fired suddenly, dozens or hundreds of enemies on the opposite side will be killed on the spot..."

"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

express approval.

The shotgun fired by the cannon is such a power.

And at the same time, it is time to win politics.

When he thought he had seen the full power of the cannon.

Ying Changsheng waved his hand again, and said to the gunners in front of him.

"Give it to my father, fire another arson bomb and let my father see!"

"Arson bomb?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback.

Somewhat puzzled.

Not sure what an arson bomb is.

He looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him in surprise.

But Ying Changsheng said to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Father, these arson bombs are actually quite simple to say the least. If our army can launch a few arson bombs when attacking the enemy, it will ignite the grain and grass supplies behind the enemy. What do you think? Is it a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Ying Zheng said without thinking.

Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. This is the most logical thing in the art of war.

It can be seen enough that the importance of food and grass materials.

It can be said that once there is no food, grass and materials, then an army is not far from defeat.

Seeing it, Ying Zheng said in surprise.

"But how was this arson bomb set on fire?"

And Ying Changsheng didn't explain, he pointed to the gunner who was busy in the distance, and said to Ying Zheng.

"Father, if you look carefully, you will understand!"

"Ok!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

Immediately, only one gunner was seen, and a stove was lit beside the cannon.

inside the stove.

At this moment, a flame is burning.

It is burned with coal.

inside the flames.

A gunner next to him threw a cast iron shell into it.

After the shells were thrown into it.

Ying Changsheng also explained to Ying Zheng.

"Red-hot iron is enough to ignite other plants and trees. Father, you should know this, right?"

"Of course I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded immediately.

Said that he understood, but soon, he frowned again and murmured.

"However, if the arson bomb burns the shell red and shoots it out, then after the shell is inserted into the barrel, I'm afraid it will be the first to detonate the gunpowder in the barrel, right?"

"Father is wise!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng hastily complimented Ying Zheng.

Gongshu Shangzao on the side couldn't help but nod his head and said.

"Your Majesty's consideration is that when I heard the nineteenth son mentioned this method, I also felt inappropriate and worried about this problem, but the nineteenth son has already thought of a solution. Your majesty, wait a minute. Just take a look and you'll understand!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the news, Yingzheng also came to be interested.

he nodded.

"Then let me take a closer look!"

At this time, I saw only the gunner in the distance, after burning the shells red.

Also came to extinguish the fire, but stood aside, filling the barrel with gunpowder
When the gunpowder is loaded, it is ready.

Then, I used another brush to carefully penetrate into the inside of the gun bore, and carefully wiped the inside of the gun bore. After the gunpowder on the gun bore was stained, I took out another cylindrical wooden board from the side.

This plank is cylindrical.

Just enough to fit into the barrel of a cannon.

I only saw that after the wooden block was stuffed into it.

The other gunner on the side carefully used pliers to take out the red cast iron shells that had been burned in the stove.

Immediately, the shells were quickly loaded into the barrel.

Then, ignite and launch in one go.

Immediately, the cannon that had already been aimed.

A parabola visible to the naked eye was drawn across the sky, and then it hit a pile of hay in the distance, a mile away.

Ying Zheng held a telescope and looked at the pile of fodder in the distance.

The moment I saw the pile of fodder and was hit by the red cast-iron cannonball that was burned by the fire.

Suddenly, after the burning fire.

For a moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help but exclaimed, and then yelled.

"This thing can really ignite other people's food and supplies!"

"And, it's still such a long distance!"

"If you have such a weapon, you won't need it in the future. Send people to attack the camp at night and burn the enemy's supplies. You only need to shoot a few shells from a distance, and the matter will be resolved!"

"Father is wise!"

Immediately, Ying Changsheng flattered Ying Zheng who was at the side.

It seems that all this is the credit of winning the government.

But Ying Zheng waved his hand, shook his head and said.

"No, no, this thing is due to your kid. You did a good job. This cannon is not yours. Let me ask you, have you ever given this thing a name? Could it be that it has always been called a cannon?"

"Father, I have given this thing a name!"

After Ying Changsheng thought for a moment, he said to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"This thing, I named it Hongyi Cannon!"

"I don't know Father, what do you think?"

"Hongyi Cannon?"

Ying Zheng muttered the name.

Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and said nonsense.

"My son feels that this cannon is so powerful that after it is fired, there will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. At that time, the blood of the dead will be red, and Yi!"

"It's the barbarians from all directions. My son means to use the power of cannons to deal with Xiao Xiao, the barbarians from all directions!"

"That's a good idea!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately felt that this method was quite feasible. He slapped his thigh fiercely and said with emotion.

"Hongyi Cannon, that's what it's called!"

After saying this, Ying Zheng frowned again, looked at the Hongyi cannon in the distance, and said with a slight frown.

"However, this cannon is good everywhere, except for one thing, I think it's really not very good!"

"What's wrong?"

Gongshu Shangzao on the side hurriedly stepped forward to ask Yingzheng.

Immediately, he added another sentence.

"I will improve this cannon according to His Majesty's instructions, and by then, it will be able to meet His Majesty's satisfaction!"

Gongshu Shangzao's words made Yingzheng very satisfied. He saw Yingzheng stroking his long beard and said with emotion.

"This cannon, in my eyes, the shortcoming is that this cannon is too heavy, and the public loses it. Tell me, what is the weight of this cannon?"

"This one……"

Gongshu Shangzao's face changed slightly.

Indeed.

At the moment, the cannon they cast.

In fact, it is too heavy.

Not to mention anything else, the amount of copper consumed is more than [-] catties.

Moreover, not counting the gun mount made of hardwood, with a large number of steel parts added to the wheels, the total weight has probably reached [-] jin!
