Chapter 1476

The officers and soldiers who had a good night's rest at Jiubei Farm got up for drills in the morning. Mr. Zheng, who led the troops, was still thinking about how to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, so he heard the maid report that Qi Ke had returned.

Mr. Zheng followed the maid to the hall of the big house, before entering the room to see anyone, he was first attracted by the small cannon placed outside the hall.

The third battlefield is the farthest from the farm, and Qi Ke asked the women's army from this battlefield to go down the mountain first, and they did return to the farm at the expected time, but the small cannons they brought back were disassembled and carried on their backs for the convenience of walking in the mountains. I went up and down the mountain without assembling it, so I carried it all the way back to the farm, and then put it on the open space outside the door of the big house to rest.

Then the women's army from the second battlefield came back, and it was the same. They put down their cannons and left.

So Mr. Zheng received a report from his maid that Qi Ke had returned. In fact, she was the last one to arrive. There were quite a few of the twenty small cannons outside the big house, and they were all memorized, so the floor was full of parts. .

Zheng Bazong, a general who has led troops to fight for many years, even if he is confused for a while, can he still not see the barrel of the cannon?
"This is a cannon?!" Mr. Zheng squatted down, touched a small cannon barrel at his feet, compared the length with his own arm, and looked far away, "Are these all cannons? So many? So small?!"

"Yes, these are all agricultural cannons for spraying medicine and pests in the mountains and forests." Qi Ke appeared at the door with his sleeves rolled up, holding a hot towel in his hand to wipe his hands and face, "In the deep mountains and old forests, only cannons of this size are easy to use , although it is small and light, it can be disassembled to lean on people's back or carry it when there is no way to walk."

Mr. Zheng squatted and did not move, watched Qi Ke's three or five breaths with a wooden face, then lowered his head and stretched out his hand to touch the inside of the gun mouth, pulled his hand back and put it under his nose to smell it, then clapped his hands, a look The expression of seeing through the lie slowly stood up.

"Do you need gunpowder to spray trees?"

"The gunpowder is to hit the powder package on the treetop." Qi Ke blinked, smiling, without moving any extra muscles, and his expression was very stable.

"What about the medicine? Why doesn't the gun muzzle smell at all? The medicine bag is so strong that even the gunpowder can't break it, so what's the use of hitting it on a tree?"

"The purpose of gunpowder is to push the powder bag out. How can it be broken at the muzzle of a gun? It will be broken when it hits a tree. It doesn't matter if it doesn't break for a while, it will be broken in the wind and rain."

I don't know if it was Qi Ke's certainty that confused Mr. Zheng again, and Mr. Zheng was really hesitant all of a sudden.

"...is it really a cannon?"

"I am a farmer. If this is not an agricultural cannon, can it be a military cannon?"

"Why can't it be a military cannon?"

"Ah, I don't know, I'm just a farmer." Qi Ke spread his hands, a bit playful.

Mr. Zheng looked at his hands and remembered the smell of gunpowder slag in his hands. He dared to bet his annual salary that these guns had been fired with a lot of gunpowder recently.

"Where did you go yesterday? I haven't caught up with you since I came out of Qianhusuo."

"I went to the mountains to take revenge. Just after I came back, all three refugee dens were raided. Mr. Zheng came just in time, and you will have to work hard to deal with the aftermath."

Boss Zheng didn't come up immediately, and pointed at the parts all over the floor with trembling hands, "You took the agricultural cannon into the mountains to avenge? How dare you say it's not a military cannon?"

"I'm a farmer. Where can I get military cannons? I only have agricultural cannons. Small cannons are most suitable for carrying in deep mountains and old forests. They are powerful, small and quiet, and will not disturb the people. With wheels installed, they can be pushed by a horse-drawn man, and if the wheels are removed, two people can use them." Or four people carry it, dismantle the cannon frame and carry the cannon barrel separately, and when you get to the place, you don’t have time to set up the cannon. Put the cannon barrel on the ground and you can fire the ammunition. It’s very convenient to spray medicine on trees and control insects in the forest.”
