Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 251 It's Hysterical

The dust and smoke cleared, and there was a gap about one foot wide in the barracks wall of the Shuozhou Army barracks. Chen Ying was dumbfounded and said, "Hold the grass, isn't this too exaggerated?"

Although the camp wall built by the Shuozhou army barracks was made of rammed earth, no one person was taller.However, it is about one foot and eight inches thick. The inside is made of tree railing bones as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and then tamped with soil layer by layer.However, when this stone cannon went down, it unexpectedly collapsed such a large piece.

Chen Ying walked to the gap in the camp wall and observed carefully.After the stone bomb collided with the camp wall, the rest of the force did not disappear. After breaking through the wall, he still rolled out ten steps away.And the most astonishing thing was that the thick pine wood inside the camp wall was broken by Qi.

But imagine, once the stone bomb hits the body of a person instead of the wall of the camp, it may cause death if it touches it.

Zhao Boying said: "So powerful?"

Xu Caifu said: "What a powerful cannon, it can shoot 350 paces, it's stronger than the [-]-tip cannon."

Guo Rui retorted: "It is more powerful than the thirteen-point cannon. The thirteen-point cannon needs 500 people to pull it. It only needs three or five people. Now there are hundreds of stone cannons lined up side by side. He smashed it!"

The only one in the crowd who was calm was Chen Ying.

Luo Shixin said dumbfounded: "Okay, it's amazing. If there were such a powerful trebuchet back then, Hulao Pass could be taken!"

Speaking of Hulao Pass, it is the sad place of the Wagang Army.In order to attack Hulao Pass, Li Mi fought day and night for 3 days. More than [-] Wagang soldiers were buried under Hulao Pass, and nearly [-] people were injured.If it weren't for the fact that Hulao Pass consumed too much of the Wagang Army's vitality, I am afraid that Wang Shichong would not be able to win easily.

Looking at Chen Ying, Luo Shixin's eyes were red: "If I had known the general earlier, many brothers would not have died..."

Liang Zan was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't this too powerful?"

Zhao Boying's mouth was cracked up to the ears, and he said with a proud face: "The general is really a genius!Now it's even easier to capture Yanmen Pass! "

Everyone saw that Zhao Boying flattered Chen Ying, how could they fall behind Zhao Boying.

"The general is truly unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, majestic, bright and upright, upright, great wisdom and courage, different from popular customs, does not bully the dark room, does not forget the gully, has the heart of a child, is unparalleled in the world, peerless and superb, Kunshan piece of jade, dragon among men, second to none , clank in the iron, unsurpassed, unsurpassed, head raised, romantic of a generation, outstanding among the mediocre..." and other compliments are endless, although Chen Ying clearly knows that they are flattering himself, but this feeling It is indeed very good.Watching everyone rack their brains

Chen Ying waved his hands repeatedly to interrupt the compliments of the crowd. If they didn't stop them, they might flatter them until dark.

Ge Tong looked at this new counterweight trebuchet seriously and said: "General, this shaft is rather troublesome. You see, it has only been launched once, and cracks have appeared, and it will break after three or five times at most!"

Chen Ying thought for a while, and finally found the problem.In later generations, as long as the rotating parts have bearings.The frictional resistance is reduced by the bearing.However, Chen Ying knew that although the bearing was simple, it was not easy to manufacture it in this era.

Chen Ying didn't come up with a better suggestion, so he asked, "Do you have a solution to this problem?"

Ge Tong thought for a while and said, "Then we can only use iron shafts!"

After a while, Ge Tong walked to a carriage, and took a tool to remove the bearings on the carriage. Chen Ying was surprised when he saw the bearings in Ge Tong's hand.

Ge Tong actually held a bushing bearing in his hand. Chen Ying originally thought that rolling bearings were a product of the industrial age, but he did not expect that ancient bearings were discovered in Datang 400 years ago.This bearing is made of copper-tin alloy, the diameter of the inner ring is about four inches, and the diameter of the outer ring is nearly one foot.

Compared with the rolling bearings of later generations, this copper bearing is obviously bulky.

Although the bearing looked bulky, Chen Ying was surprised by the impossibility.Chen Ying has been in this era for more than nine months, and he has never paid attention to these small problems.Through Ge Tong's introduction, Chen Ying realized that this bearing was not actually his invention, but as early as the pre-Qin period, China had already produced the original bearing shaft type, which was used as key parts such as carriages and rudders. rotation.

Chen Ying carefully observed this bearing, and finally discovered the difference between it and the bearings of later generations. First of all, the bearings of this era did not use balls as the rolling parts of the bearings, but instead used balls about two inches long and roughly The three-point steel cylinder, and to Chen Ying's surprise, the ancients had already realized the role of lubricating oil. Of course, the ancients did not have the technology to synthesize lubricating oil, and they used animal fat as lubricating oil.The sleeve bearing can be said to be the originator of the current ball bearing.

"Ge Tong!"

"The villain is here, please show me the general!"

"Have you ever thought about making this bearing lighter?"

"Make it lighter?" Ge Tong said with a bitter face, "So that the general will know that if the outer wall of this car's bearing becomes thinner, it will not last long."

Chen Yingdao: "Didn't you find that rollers save more effort than balls? If you replace the rotating column in this bushing with rotating balls, then the bearing will become faster and more flexible?"

"However, it is too difficult to make steel balls!" Ge Tong said suspiciously: "Besides, there is no way to make exactly the same steel balls. Even a young man may not be able to make dozens of steel balls exactly the same."

It is obvious that nothing can be done overnight.Chen Yingdao: "Well, this general wants to set up the Lingzhou army as a general, and the supervisor Lin Chuanfu will be the commander of the battalion, and you will be the deputy capital supervisor. For the time being, don't be busy building bearings. We can do everything we can to build this new type of catapult. machine!"

Ge Tong didn't react for a long time, and looked at Ge Tong in a daze on the spot.Zhao Boying kicked Ge Tong lightly and said, "Don't you thank the General for your kindness?"

Only then did Ge Tong come to his senses, he knelt on the ground without hesitation, and kowtowed to Chen Ying repeatedly.

Chen Ying said lightly: "Get up, let's do things well!"

Ge Tong got up and said timidly: "General, the little old man is the general and the deputy capital supervisor of the battalion...is he an official?"

"Why are you not an official?" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Lingzhou will serve as the battalion supervisor and the commander of the army to join the army. Now there is a vacancy for the commander of Lingzhou to join the army. Lin Chuanfu, as the upper official, is also the inspector. Officer. And you, as the Deputy Metropolitan Supervisor, are the Deputy Metropolitan Supervisor's deputy, and you are also a sixth-rank official at the last time."

Ge Tong said in disbelief: "Isn't this going to be bigger than the Patriarch?"

Zhao Boying said dumbfoundedly: "The county magistrate is only an official of the eighth rank or the seventh rank. Even the county magistrate of Dayi, a famous capital, is at most the sixth rank. Today there are only two county magistrates, but the first rank is Chang'an county magistrate. , and one is the magistrate of Wannian County."

"I'm an official?" Ge Tong clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "I'm an official now, I'm an official..."

Seeing Ge Tong's insolent appearance, Zhao Boying's face became darker and darker. He never thought that Ge Tong fell to the ground with a plop and passed out.Everyone turned pale with shock, pinched them again, and poured water on them again, finally Ge Tong woke up leisurely.After waking up, Ge Tong slowly got up, pulled a person, pointed to his collar, and asked eagerly, "Am I an official? Am I an official?"

PS: It's the end of the month, there are still nine hours left, and the monthly pass expires and becomes invalid.Guys, don't waste it.
