Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 231 The Order of the Artillery

This time, Qin Mu deliberately chose a side position far away.

This position is relatively far from the cannon, at least it can reduce the earth and rock splash and sonic attack during the explosion.

Moreover, this is a side position, not a rear position. From this angle, one can clearly see that the cannon shells start from the barrel and follow a beautiful parabola until they hit the target.

Qin Mu had almost used all the knowledge he had learned in the previous half of his life just now, and now he is absolutely confident that he can make the cannonball fall at the predetermined position.

Didn't Zu Long still feel that he was at a loss just now?

Qin Mu sneered, now I have to let you know how wrong you are!A promise, in exchange for gunpowder at the cost price, this is not a loss, it is a big profit!Earn a lot of money!
"Hurry up, come here!" Qin Mu shouted standing on the edge of the newly dug hole, which he just named the Sightseeing Pit.

Still, other thinks than willing to come over.I was deaf once just now, and now I finally recovered my hearing. If I am deaf again, can I still recover?

They don't know, but they are a little afraid to gamble.

Among other things, even if Qin Mu could really just come back, then... he wouldn't have to suffer?
The medicine that should be taken by oneself cannot be replaced by others!Besides, what if Qin Mu really can't be cured?
Everyone has heard the story of Qin Mu more or less. This genius doctor has not encountered any illness that he can't help.

But what if they were the first ones?

Therefore, seeing Qin Mu about to light the fire again, their first reaction was not to lean towards Qin Mu, but to run away directly.

It can be said that if Zulong was not still watching with interest, they would have slipped away long ago.

However, looking at Qin Mu's gaze, they felt... they couldn't stay, if they really slipped... they might miss the good show!
However, they are now fully prepared.Li Si directly tore off two small cloth strips from his clothes and plugged his ears.

Meng Yi followed suit, and the configuration was similar.Zu Long and Li Si looked at Qin Mu directly, preparing to learn from Qin Mu's approach.

But... Qin Mu didn't do anything.He knew that the distance was enough now, and although it still affected his hearing, it was not as serious.

This time, he specially used a huge long rope just to keep as far away as possible.

Then standing in the pothole, he lit the fuse.

Li Si couldn't help but said: "Young master, the efficiency of your fuse is too low! When we detect the enemy, we must attack immediately! But the rope alone will burn for a long time, and the enemy will run away!"

He still didn't say anything, it's a good thing to run away, normally, your cannon is useless, the enemy will charge here!
If you rush over, you will die!
However, Qin Mu said indifferently: "This time is just an experiment. For everyone's safety, this kind of hemp rope soaked in kerosene was used. When it is actually used, the fuse will be replaced with a powder core, which burns extremely fast!"

This is not Qin Mu's intentional big talk, but the truth.

How fast is the lead wire of the powder core?Anyone who has seen firecrackers knows this.That speed is so fast that people's eyes can't keep up!

Qin Mu even knew that many children in the previous life played with the small firecrackers that were removed from the firecrackers. As a result, they ignited and couldn't throw them away, and countless of them were blown up.

But that kind of firecracker is not very powerful, even if it is blown up, it will only numb for an hour, and it will naturally dissipate.

However, cannons are definitely not comparable to that kind of firecrackers.

Therefore, for his own safety, Qin Mu changed into hemp rope.If Daqin has artillery in the future, he can naturally familiarize himself with the time interval of the gunpowder fuse through training, and give himself a safe distance.

Wang Jianyou asked: "This cannon is so loud, if you stay next to it for a long time, you can't hear anything? Then, how will the commander give orders?"

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a famous general, and he can see a major problem in artillery operations at a glance, that is, how to correctly convey orders when there is a lot of interference information on the battlefield?
In fact, it's not just cannons, it's not even just a problem in the era of hot weapons, even in the era of cold weapons, it also exists.

It was okay when the two sides shot at each other, but once the soldiers met, there were all kinds of shouts and yells under the scene of bloody fighting and desperate fighting. In many cases, it was also to embolden yourself or your teammates.

At a time like this, you can't hear the words just in your ears, who can hear what your commander said?
In most cases, the solution to this problem is to shout!Not only did the commander shout loudly, but they also brought many heralds with them. These heralds do not necessarily need to be highly skilled in martial arts, but they must have a loud voice!
They don't need to go to the front line to fight. They just need to repeat the general's order over and over again in their own voices when a military order is issued. The meaning of their existence is a loudspeaker of human flesh.

When many armies train recruits, they also specifically require recruits to make the loudest noises in every move.This is the case for making reports and answering questions. In fact, it is to cultivate the habit of soldiers speaking loudly.

Afterwards, when on the battlefield, soldiers will subconsciously communicate with the loudest voice to ensure that what they say can be heard by their teammates.

However, when the cannon was added to the battlefield, everything changed.

They really experienced it just now, the cannon is really not something that you can solve the problem by talking loudly!
As soon as the cannon fired, the sky was dark, and then he was completely deaf.Even if there are one hundred and eight men shouting in your ears, you still can't hear them!

Even if the herald puts his mouth to your ear and shouts, it is impossible to hear.

What should I do in such a situation?
In fact, there are also county-level solutions.

"Old Wang, let me ask you, if there is a mission that requires you to cooperate with other troops to attack the enemy camp, how will you communicate directly?"

Wang Jian frowned: "Either use scouts. If it's inconvenient, you can use semaphore and wait for the command... and then do it after seeing the signal."

"That's right! The semaphore can be used for more than this! It's true that the artillerymen can't hear others, but they're not blind!"

"Also, we don't need to command from a distance, so we just assign a messenger to each artillery team, just wave the flag, the flag falls, and the cannon is fired, how about it?"

Wang Jian carefully chewed on Qin Mu's method, his eyes became brighter and brighter, it's really... wonderful!
Not only perfectly solves the communication problem of the artillery, but also requires no extra effort!
