Chapter 1415 New Weapon

Wancheng South City.

drive drive drive! ! ! !

Mujing led the Shenwei Battalion and rode their horses flying. If dozens of war horses were outside the city, on the open plain, it would be just a small scenery, but in the city, it would be a lot of publicity. The tornado blows past, very arrogant.

About half an hour later, I arrived outside a school yard. The school yard had been abolished for many years. It was established when it was still the Nanyang prefect's mansion, and was stationed in the school yard of Nanyang County soldiers.

Because of the problem of location, it has already been abandoned, but the secrecy here is strong and the defense is good, so it is better to stay here.

"Who is it, get off the horse quickly!"

Before the war horse reached the door, a general roared angrily at the door.

"Royal!"

Mu Jing used all his strength to rein in the horse's reins, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked down at the general at the gate of the school field, he did recognize him.

"Is it the king?"

Luo Feng is a military lord of the imperial guard camp. If it is an ordinary military lord, it may not be possible to see Mujing, but the imperial guard camp is a battalion of the divine guard army, defending the Kingdom of Ming, so naturally you can see Mujing , so we know.

"Meet the king!"

He quickly bowed his head and knelt down.

"Meet the king!"

His subordinates, Erlang, also knelt down quickly one by one.

"Don't be too polite!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Make way!"

"promise!"

Luo Feng ordered all the horse refusal posts to be moved away to make way for a road. Dozens of cavalry from Mujing and Shenwei Battalion entered the school grounds like a gust of wind.

This school ground is well arranged, no matter inside or outside, everyone is very vigilant, and the sentry posts around the soldiers are very sharp.

After Mujing walked in, he saw Ma Su on the high platform, jumped off his horse and walked up.

Ma Su raised his head, took a look, and hurriedly saluted: "Su, pay homage to the king!"

In Ma Su's life, if he hadn't met Mu Jing, he would have been just a humble craftsman, even if he inherited what the Mohist had learned, he was still a humble craftsman.

Mu Jing is his benefactor, the person he is most grateful to, not only because Mu Jing promoted him and made him famous all over the world, but also because Mu Jing pays attention to Mohism, and is even proficient in Mohism.

Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology, known as one of the most mysterious places in the Ming Dynasty, has created many miracles, waterwheels, water conservancy and textile machines, and also changed many military crafts.

But what many people don't know is that many inventions of Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology are inspired by Mu Jing, and Mu Jing's words sometimes can bring them endless ideas.

Therefore, these researchers are not simply grateful to Mu Jing, but also have a bit of admiration, including Ma Su, so no matter what time he is in front of Mu Jing, he is always respectful.

"Long Kong, you brought so many people to the battlefield, are you looking for death?"

Mu Jing was very angry.

The main foundation of the Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology that he has worked so hard to build is not the courtyard, but the scientific research talents. If one or two of them are lost, it will be enough to make Mu Jing feel extremely distressed.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates know that doing this is a bit of an overreach, but in order to conduct more in-depth research, better understand the use of the new weapon, and make improvements, we must personally watch it perform!"

Ma Su said seriously.

"New weapon, what kind of weapon is it?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, burning with hope.

"It is the weapon that the king wants!"

Ma Su said in a low voice: "Our preliminary research has been successful, but how much lethality can be exerted in the end depends on the situation!"

"Take Gu to have a look!" Mu Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly said in a low voice.

The weapon that changed the times was finally produced.

His excitement is not only because of these weapons, but also because the era is being pushed forward step by step by him.

"promise!"

Ma Su nodded.

"You are all here, Gu and Ma Su can go!

Mujing then screened back left and right.

Ma Su personally took Mu Jing across the school grounds and walked into a scaffold next to the school grounds.

This place used to store ordnance, so the surrounding layout is very defensive, but inside, the defense is the dead soldiers of Jingwu Division, watching the surrounding wind and grass vigilantly.

Under the spacious scaffolding, there are twenty huge things covered with tarpaulins, and behind them are covered with layers of oiled paper canvas, piled up with a mountain of things.

Ma Su uncovered one of the tarpaulins.

It revealed its true face.

This is a cannon.

A very large cannon, like a fort, with a huge muzzle, a huge frame, and a bronze-like surface.

It looks a little awkward to others.

But Mujing...

Very cordial feeling.

It seems to be the same as going to the museum in the previous life to see those red cannons in Ming and Qing Dynasties, almost exactly the same, because this is the concept provided by Mujing.

"How far is the effective range?" Mu Jing asked.

"Effective is 500 meters, long 1000 meters!"

Ma Su said.

At present, this is actually the limit. If you want to continue to increase the range, you must have a new forging process to strengthen the toughness of the gun body.

"Already very good, better than I imagined!"

Mu Jing smiled. In fact, this range is too insignificant compared to cannons, but for hot weapons that have just started, they are already surpassed by most cold weapons.

In fact, even in the last life, Mu Jing knew that the range of the red-clothed cannon was at most ten miles, it couldn't be any bigger, and no matter how big it was, it wouldn't be such a clumsy red-clothed cannon.

Mu Jing took a deep breath, stepped forward and groped for a while, in fact, he was just a mouthful king in this respect, whether it was the principle of casting or other things, he didn't know much.

So what he can teach those craftsmen is only one direction, but relying on such an established direction, they have researched genuine products.

"At the beginning, the king had already named this weapon as the red cannon. Originally, the king had to personally check and accept it before sending it to the battlefield. However, I heard that the battle in Wancheng was tight, so I thought about sending this weapon up first. Whether it can be used or not depends on the king's decision!"

Ma Su cupped his hands and said.

The Ming army has a very strict inspection and acceptance order for weapons. Every new weapon that comes out of the workshop must go through a lot of inspection procedures to ensure that it is fine before it is delivered.

"Red Cannon!"

Mujing couldn't help muttering to himself, he stroked the cold gun barrel, the very long and bulky barrel, which gave him a different feeling.

That is a symbol of the beginning of the era of hot weapons. In the future, gunpowder will not just be buried, but will be developed step by step, thus eliminating cold weapons.

When this kind of transition was about to be completed from Mu Jing's hands, he was somewhat excited.

In the past, he would actually worry about whether he had opened Pandora's box, but now, his mood has improved.

History can only progress, not regress. Even if he is unwilling to save the red cannon, someone will still get it out after thousands of years.

Human beings will move in a mysterious direction, just like in today's era, compared to everyone, cannons are mysterious and unimaginable.

In the future, going to the universe is also mysterious. The distance of infinite light years makes human beings feel powerless, but no one knows whether human beings will have a breakthrough and truly go to the entire universe.

So he won't continue to struggle with this aspect.

Mu Jing has experienced too many wars, and he is already a little tired and a little numb. The one thing he wants to do most now is to end the war.

He will stop at nothing to end the war.

This is why he suddenly strengthened the research on firearms. The success of the research on the red cannon will tear up an important page in the history of firearms.

In fact, Mujing only knew about the red-clothed cannon in theory, and it was the first time he saw it. While groping, he said in a low voice, "The range of the red-clothed cannon has surpassed the trebuchet and the ballista by a lot.

"What about the effective lethality of the shell?" Mu Jing asked in a low voice.

"The radius of effective lethality is ten meters!"

Ma Su replied: "There are steel balls inside, and within 20 meters, they all raise their glasses to lethal power!"

"It's really a peerless sharp weapon!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath.

In today's era of cold weapons, once this red cannon appears on the battlefield, what a shock it will be

Originally, he was more or less worried about this battle.

But now...

The balance of victory has already tilted towards Ming.

"There should be twenty cannons inside, how many shells do we have?" Mu Jing clenched his fists tightly, he couldn't wait to fight Wei Jun to the death.

"Not much, only one thousand, and they are all here. We have preserved them very well. We have been worrying about whether there will be accidents and damages on the way. It must be too dangerous. Fortunately, it was delivered smoothly!"

Ma Su pointed to the pile covered by oiled paper cloth behind, and sighed: "As for the quantity, we have tried our best, but the two firearms workshops we established, operating at full capacity for twelve hours a day, only have this weight. If you give us another one or two years, that would be great, after all, the current technology is still not mature enough, no matter in terms of manufacturing or use, there must be certain defects!"

"Flaw?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it dangerous?"

"Ok!"

Ma Su said: "We have done experiments, and there is a possibility that two of the ten statues will explode!"

Mujing frowned, the probability was already terrifying.

"It seems to be used well!" In fact, Mu Jing also knows that it is already very good that Ma Su can achieve this level. If Ma Su is given another three years, perhaps this kind of red-clothed cannon will be mature enough.

In fact, even if there was no danger of bombing, Mu Jing would not dare to use it lightly. After all, there are not many, with 10 people on the battlefield, how much can be bombed.

If this kind of weapon is to be used, it must be determined to win.

Only in a decisive battle can the greatest lethality be exerted, and with peerless explosive power that shocks the hearts of the people, can it explode with super influence and directly crush the enemy.

"This weapon will be handed over to you for safekeeping first. Soldiers around here will send troops to protect it. As for when you go to the battlefield, your technicians must stay away from the damage distance. Solitary will never allow it. Any technician, because the red clothes he made Cannon, and get hurt!"

Mu Jing said firmly.

"But my lord, if we can't collect some data at close range, we can't make further improvements!" Ma Su said.

"Use your brain!"

Mujing glanced at him, and said: "Data is dead, but people are alive. It is not necessary to use such a risky method. As for what method to use, you can think for yourself!"

"Yes!"

Ma Su touched his nose bitterly.

Mu Jing came and went quickly. An hour after he left, a battalion of the Ming Army's Divine Guards stationed themselves outside the school grounds.

Even if someone in the city had doubts, they did not dare to take half a step closer.

After Mu Jing returned to the headquarters, he immediately went to the top of the city, and now that the withdrawal of troops was imminent, he had to sit in the town to calm people's hearts.

When all the Ming troops outside the northern border of Wancheng withdrew from the Wanshui front step by step and returned to Wancheng, it quickly aroused the reaction of the Wei army.

But when Wei Jun reacted, Ming Jun had disappeared.

At this time, Wei Jun could only advance.

Directly across the Wanshui front, the soldiers approached the city.

Their main force is less than 200 meters away from the city wall, and the siege battle is imminent.

………………

On the top of the city, Mu Jing was in a conspicuous position, his eyes fixed on the front.

It was only when he went to the city himself that he had a deterrent effect and made the withdrawal of the Ming army extremely smooth. This, no matter who it is, must admit.

"All withdrawn?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"All the soldiers and horses outside the city have all withdrawn. We don't have a single soldier in the northern suburbs battlefield!" Gao Ding responded to Mu Jing with some bitterness.

The battlefield in the northern suburbs was fought so hard, but it was because of a battle in the eastern suburbs that they were forced to withdraw. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit aggrieved.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jing looked at him, and said with a smile, "Aren't you reconciled?"

"A little bit!"

Gao Ding is a member of the Yi nationality, but the Han people who took refuge in Liu Yan's time, he is the most sinicized foreigner, whether it is Chinese or Chinese knowledge, he is more profound than ordinary scholars.

"It's a good thing not to be reconciled!"

Mu Jing said: "Soon we will change our strategic deployment, not necessarily knowledge defense, there will be times for you to charge forward!"

"Change the strategic deployment?"

The generals peek at each other.

"Order Jingping's Second Army, Jingping's Third Army, Jingping's Fourth Army, Stormy Bear's Second Army, and all those above the rank of lieutenant. After one hour, the headquarters will hold a military intelligence strategy meeting, and no one is allowed to be absent!"

Mu Jing said indifferently.

The surprise sent by Ma Su made him have to change his strategic deployment. In this battle, he will turn defense into offense.

"Yes!"

Mu Jing is the great king, once the king orders, the military order will be activated immediately, and many guards will spread the order everywhere.

In less than an hour, the generals of various ministries had gathered at the headquarters, including the generals from the battlefield in the eastern suburbs, and hurried back.

"In this meeting, I will only talk about two things!"

Mujing's face was stern, and his eyes swept across: "Gu will form a new independent combat battalion, among them must be scholars in the army, and send people up from all ministries!"

Red Cannon Battalion.

This is a technical arm. Compared with those reckless people, scholars are better off to let those technicians explain and get started.

"A scholar in the military?"

The generals peek at each other.

"Nowadays in the army, I believe that there are quite a few scholars and generals, and I need them now!" Mu Jing said very directly: "There is no need for a large number of troops, around 200!"

One cannon for ten soldiers is barely enough, and it can only reach this level at present.
