Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 955

Boom!

The Tiger Guards covered their buzzing ears, staring at this powerful cannon.

Zhao Dahammer ran up to Guo Jia in a hurry.

"My lord, the power of the new cannon is so powerful that it actually smashed a brick wall three miles away."

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

With the advent of gunpowder, catapults and bronze cannons appeared in the Central Plains in advance.

Whether it is a artillery vehicle or an artillery, it can kill the enemy in a large area.

With Yunzhou's advantages, it is absolutely possible to beat everything.

In Jizhou's shipyard, the first deep-sea warship is being manufactured intensively, and there is an urgent need for a cannon to increase its power.

In fact, in Yunzhou's existing artillery system, heavy riprap vehicles and bronze artillery can also meet the needs of ship-borne artillery.

It’s just that the heavy-duty riprap truck has a large frame and takes up a lot of space, which is a big disadvantage for sea-going ships with limited decks.

Although the other bronze cannon is small in size, it has a short combat radius and cannot highlight its power.

Therefore, Guo Jia urgently needs a gun that can be fired on board.

Unlike land battle artillery, naval artillery does not need to scatter, because the scattering distance is short and not very powerful. What is more needed is to launch large projectiles to destroy enemy ships from a long distance.

The first thing Guo Jia thought of was the Frankie smoothbore gun.

In the age of great voyages, Frankie guns were the most commonly used on sea ships. This kind of artillery with a light body, a long range and a fast rate of fire is very popular among Europeans.

The Furren cannon was an early rear-loading smoothbore cannon.It consists of a mother gun and a sub gun.The female gun has a slender barrel and a smaller caliber. The gun body is equipped with front sights and rear sights, which can aim and shoot at long-distance targets.There are gun lugs on both sides of the gun body, the gun body can be placed on the bracket, and the shooting angle can be adjusted by pitching.The back of the gun is thicker, with a long slot for loading sub-guns.The child guns are similar to small fire guns. Each mother gun is equipped with 5 to 9 child guns, which can be pre-loaded with ammunition for backup. During battle, they are loaded into the mother gun in turn and fired, thus increasing the firing speed.

The Yunzhou bronze artillery made by Guo Jia also borrowed this model.

It's just that the current smelting technology is relatively low, and it can't effectively store copper and iron. The bronze produced by Guo Jia contains a lot of impurities. Basically, after hundreds of rounds are fired, the barrel of the gun will crack.

So it is still very difficult to make a good Frankie gun.

Youzhou suddenly discovered a strange mine, and the governor Tian Feng transported some to Yunzhou.After Guo Jia's investigation, it was discovered that it was meteorite, which may have fallen in the past, with a stock of nearly [-] tons.

After years of weathering, it has become a large mine pit.

This time Guo Jia was overjoyed.

Meteorite is a good thing, it contains very few impurities, and it is very suitable for making guns.

After confirming that these dark and unremarkable stones were meteorites, Guo Jia immediately had the things transported to Yunzhou.

Do it yourself and start smelting meteorite.

After years of bronze smelting, Yunzhou's smelting technology has become very mature.

But it is the first time to smelt meteorite.

In order to increase the purity of meteoric iron, Guo Jia specially used anthracite and leather bag blowers to increase production capacity.

After three days and three nights of hard work, the first meteorite iron cannon was finally produced.

This iron cannon imitates Frankie's shape, uses a rear-mounted sub-cannon, and ignites with flint.

Like the bronze cannon, the meteor iron cannon also adopts the pouring method and is integrally formed.

The next step is to polish and assemble, and a dark meteorite iron cannon appeared in the school yard of Yunzhou.

The cannon weighs more than [-] jins and has a dark body. Guo Jia, also known as a craftsman, forged bronze wheels and installed them on the seat of the iron cannon.

The shells are also very luxurious, forged from rough iron blanks.

Rough iron is also very rare in this era. If the iron crater was not discovered in Youzhou, Guo Jia would not be willing to use the rough iron to make shells.

Everything was ready, Guo Jia couldn't wait to come to the school grounds to try the power of the Meteorite Cannon.

In fact, the danger of testing cannons is far greater than that of war, especially when testing new cannons. Due to the instability of bronze cannons, accidents of wounding people often occurred during testing of cannons, and many people died as a result.

So gun testing is also a dangerous job.

But this time, the cannon king Zhao Dahammer went into battle in person, adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, replaced it with a sub-gun, and everything was ready.

boom!
Zhao Dachui pulled the rope, and the Meteorite Cannon let out a roar, and the shells flew into the distance whistling.

Boom, hit the target.

I have to say that Zhao Dahammer's technique is still very good.

Swap!

Zhao Dachui yelled, and several soldiers skillfully removed the guns, replaced them with new guns, and cleaned the barrel.

Bang bang bang!
Zhao Dachui fired five shots in a row and hit three shots. In this era without radar and navigation, it is already very rare.

very good!

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

The smoke cleared!

Tie Pao stands proudly on the school field, like a general who has won a battle.

Guo Jia stepped forward and stroked the barrel of the cannon, and there was a scalding temperature coming from it.

Iron is harder than copper, and the barrel is durable and more accurate than copper cannons.

The curves are perfect.

It is more durable than copper cannons, but it is a bit clumsy, but it is no problem to put it on the ship.

Lord!

Zhao Dachui stepped forward with a smile: "If all Yunzhou is equipped with this kind of artillery, I can guarantee that fifty cannons can take down Xuducheng."

This thing fires solid bullets, which can smash a brick wall three miles away, and fifty artillery pieces are fired intensively at once, destroying a city is no problem at all.

Ha ha!

Guo Jia just smiled.

Being able to find meteorites is already the wrong love of heaven. With the amount of meteorites discovered, at most hundreds of meteorite cannons can be manufactured. Good steel should be used on the blade, and these cannons can only be used on ships.

At this moment, Dian Wei suddenly came in a hurry.

"My lord is bad!"

He brings bad news.

……

Su Qinglian disappeared, Skynet's foothold in Xudu was razed to the ground, and the news quickly spread to Yunzhou.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Guo Jia, and the merchant invited him to Xudu to talk, otherwise Su Qinglian's life would be in danger.

Without saying a word, Guo Jia immediately decided to get up and go to Xudu.

My lord can't!

Xi Zhong, Xin Ping and others knelt in front of the door.

They absolutely cannot let Guo Jia leave.

Xudu is Cao Cao's territory, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger.If Cao Cao encountered Guo Jia, his lifelong enemy, he would never let him go easily.

Besides, it's not worth it for a woman.

"He is my woman!"

Guo Jia said word by word.

For his own women, although Guo Jia can't give them an equal status, he can definitely be fair and just.

When Cai Yan was in danger, he was able to leave everything behind and go to Chenliu.

Now that Su Qinglian is in danger, he can also go to Xudu.
