Fenghou

Chapter 1440 Mission

That night, Li Wan and Wang Fu sneaked into the watchtower through the window, only to hear a series of screams from the watchtower. Within a quarter of an hour, they opened the door and came out, and all the Jurchen sentries in the watchtower were killed.

Just after dawn, the test field began to get busy. The four Zhonghuan put on the armor of the Jurchens, and they also wore copper masks. As long as they didn't speak, they couldn't be recognized as Han Chinese.

Of course, Yelukang was in charge of speaking. At this time, someone shouted from below, and Yelukang said to Zhong Huan: "They are asking, the experiment is about to start, are the sentries in place?"

This is what Huan Huan wants to bet on. Will there be any other special connection between the other party and the sentinel?Such as passwords and the like.

"You answer him, everything is in place!"

Yelukang replied loudly in Jurchen words, "All the sentinels are in place!"

Chong Huan's heart rose to his throat, and then he shouted a few more words, and he asked anxiously, "What are they talking about?"

"They said that today's test is very important, and they want us to take precautions!"

"You make it clear, you must take precautions!"

At this time, an old monk came in from the outside. This person is the Khitan monk Hushatu. To the point, he has been unemployed for nearly 20 years. He is now in his early seventies, and he was finally reused by Jin Guo as the firearms chief.

Hu Shatu laughed, "I can't explode the casing made of refined iron!"

Yelukang shouted: "Understood, we must take precautions!"

In fact, Hu Shatu has been painstakingly researching firearms for 20 years. He has successfully developed porcelain fire mines, wood fire mines and double-layer wood fire mines, but his real goal is iron fire mines, and he is close to success.

Hushatu is called a strange monk or a demon monk because he acts strangely. He is already 71 years old. If he wants to live to be a hundred years old, he must start with harvesting. Find the best women and the best medicinal materials, these two things can only be found in the palace.

Anyway, all kinds of recipes and crafts are in his mind, as long as this iron fire thunder is successful and the court has given him enough benefits, he might as well write down the process and experience of making iron fire thunder.

In fact, he has succeeded. He exploded an iron fire mine in the yard of his home, but Hushatu is not eager to show his merits. The painful lesson of 20 years on the bench has taught him that if the iron fire mine is handed over at once , will make the imperial court feel that this is very easy, and thus look down on himself. He must satisfy the imperial court's appetite. Under the attention of the whole country, he will slowly hold out the iron fire thunder, so that everyone in the Dajin Kingdom will cheer.

Wan Yanchang suddenly realized that he only now knew that he had been duped. The Iron Fire Thunder of the Western Army that he bought for [-] guan was a fake. With such a thick and dense iron shell, how could the gunpowder blow it apart?

Hu Shatu was overjoyed and shouted: "Ready!"

He was also afraid of stealing his own credit, so he didn't leave any texts, so that the officials of the Firearms Supervision and other craftsmen stared blankly. Yesterday he tested the double-layer wood fire mine, but today, the privy envoy Wan Yanchang came to inspect Langya Valley. An opportunity to show off, Hu Shatu decided to blow up a big brick house, he still couldn't help but brought the iron fire mine he made by himself from home, this is a sample of iron fire mine, he didn't have time to make a new iron fire mine , and brought this sample.

"I see, it turns out that's the truth!"

They were waiting for the explosion. The moment before the explosion, everyone would cover their ears so that they could not hear the sound of the crossbow arrows, and their attention was on the explosives. That was the best chance.

Wan Yanchang said with full expectation: "Let's see the effect first. If it succeeds, I will report it to the emperor and fulfill my promise!"

With a wave of his hand, two confidant soldiers walked towards the big brick building holding a heavy black bump. Wan Yanchang next to him was shocked and said, "Could it be Tiehuolei?"

Wan Yanchang was full of surprises, he had been looking forward to this day for too long, so he hurriedly said, "Let me see what it looks like first?"

He has already realized that the burning speed of gunpowder is the key to the success of Iron Fire Thunder. Full combustion produces a large amount of gas, which can burst the iron shell. First, it must be made into the smallest particles, and then the smallest particles must be condensed. There are enough gaps between the particles, which is the key to the burning speed of the gunpowder. He also realized that it is easy to explode if the shell is made of rotten iron.

Chen Qing worried that he was not without reason. A master of firearms who had been on the bench for 20 years would burst out with terrifying energy once he was reused.

He knew very well that the wooden fire mine could not blow up a brick house, only a small wooden house. Last night he thought that this brick house was used to avoid the iron nails, but he did not expect that it was also the test target. Needless to say, it must be It's an experimental iron fire mine.

All four of them showed their faces with spears, and when they saw the majestic sentry above, the officials below stopped asking questions and began to deploy nervously
Langya Valley is about ten feet high and consists of two open spaces, one large and one small. It really looks like a gourd. Several rows of houses were built on the small open space outside. It is a place for developing firearms, but inside it is a large piece of land. , here is the testing ground.

The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin promised Hu Shatu that if Tiehuolei was successfully developed, he would be crowned king, and he would be allowed to pick a hundred maids in the palace, and open the treasure house of medicinal materials, allowing him to use any medicinal materials.

Hu Shatu proudly said: "Don't underestimate this iron shell. It took me five full years to develop it successfully. There are many details in it. It takes repeated trials to succeed, and it almost doesn't work."

At this moment, in the north above Hu Shatu's head, Li Wan and Wang Fu had already prepared crossbow arrows on the left and right. Li Wan's crossbow arrow shot at the head, and Wang Fu shot at the body. For the two most elite archers, there is no problem at all, but in order to be sure, Wang Fu used a poisonous crossbow. , is also certain to die.

Hu Shatu smiled triumphantly, "I just made this one, if it's Tie Huo Lei, let's see the explosion effect!"

Hu Shatu beckoned, and two soldiers lifted the iron lump out again and put it on the table. Wan Yanchang stroked the rough surface and frowned, "The surface is a little rough!"

Zhong Huan immediately realized the importance of assassinating this strange monk, and he raised his hand, expressing that he would follow the original plan.

Two confidant soldiers carried Tie Huolei into the big brick house. Behind a big rock above, Zhong Huan's eyes were narrowed.

Two soldiers suddenly ran out of the brick building, lying face down in the pit, covering their ears with their hands, Hu Shatu shouted: "Everyone cover your ears and squat down!"

Everyone was very obedient, they covered their ears and squatted down, and closed their eyes. Wan Yanchang didn't need to order, he covered his ears first, squatted down, he knew the consequences of flying gravel.

At the moment when it was about to erupt, two crossbow arrows were shot at the same time, extremely powerful, one shot at Hu Shatu's bald head, and the other shot at his back.

The crossbow arrows were as fast as lightning, and Hu Shatu never dreamed that he would be plotted against at this time, "Puff! Puff!" Two sounds, one arrow shot into the head, more than half of it, and the other shot into the back. The poison invaded his heart, he groaned and fell headlong.
