Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 417 416. Air Explosion
The silver and green chariot drove into the military camp of the Tiger Crouching Army.

The shadow guard cleared the way and handed over Zhang Qi's token in advance.

Outside the military camp, the soldiers on guard did not obstruct him at all. They opened the roadblocks and other objects to block the horses, and bowed and saluted to welcome the king.

"Quick, get ready, you are coming!"

After receiving the news, the remaining generals of the Tiger Crouching Army gathered quickly. There had been no major incidents recently, so they knew that their commander was most likely here because of the cannon test application.

"Luo Er, what campus number are Lin Abei and the others at?"

"Number three."

"go there!"

"promise!"

The assembled generals quickly inquired, and after receiving the news, they immediately went to the No. [-] campus.

Zhang Qi's chariot was also speeding on the road in the military camp at this moment, and its target was also there.

"gather--!"

"stand at attention--!"

When Zhang Qi's chariot stopped steadily on the side road of the school field.

The orders of the generals of the Tiger Crouching Army also echoed in the No. [-] Campus.

Tap tap tap.

A queue of more than 870 people quickly assembled.

When Zhang Qi stepped down from the chariot, the eight hundred soldiers shouted in unison.

"Greetings to you, Your Majesty! I wish you peace!"

Zhang Qi looked at them and raised his hand with a smile: "It's very fast, not bad."

"Okay, I'm not here to review you today. You should all relax. Those who need to train, go train, and those who need to take a nap, have a good rest. There is no need for me to be so grand every time I come here."

"The name of the left-behind captain is Zhou Yang."

Shirahoshi whispered beside his Lord.

The smile on Zhang Qi's face did not diminish and he nodded slightly.

"Zhou Yang."

"The end is here!"

Among the eight hundred tiger crouching soldiers, Zhou Yang looked stunned for a moment, then became excited. He didn't expect that he would be known by the king.

"Disband. I'm here to see the new cannon you made. It's good. I didn't expect there are such talented people in the Tiger Crouching Army who love to study. Are they here?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yang shouted and then ordered.

"Each team brings them back! Luo Er, Lin Abe stays!"

"promise!"

Following the call to lead the troops, the eight hundred Tiger Crouching Army officers and soldiers in the school field left the No. [-] school field in an orderly manner.

On the empty school field, only Captain Zhou Yang, who stayed behind in the Tiger Crouching Army, and the two people named by him stood among them.

In front of the chariot, Zhang Qi stepped onto the school grounds. The shadow guards consciously spread out and guarded the main passage into the school grounds.

"Take a break."

Seeing that the three of them were still standing upright, Zhang Qi gave the command out of habit.

"Luo Er, Lin Abe?"

"Yes!"

Beads of sweat oozed from the nervous foreheads of the two young men, and Zhou Yang beside them was not much better than them.

"Why are you so nervous? Relax, that is the new cannon you designed? Does it have a name?"

After patting the three of them on the shoulders, Zhang Qi walked past them and walked forward.

What was placed 30 meters in front was the mortar that Zhang Qi was very familiar with.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that his lieutenant kept winking at him without saying anything, Lin Abe had the courage to reply.

"The knowledge base is very solid. I have seen the parameter diagram and think it is very feasible. How did you come up with this?"

After glancing at Lin Abei, Zhang Qi didn't ask what was in his heart.

"Back to the king, when my subordinates were hunting in winter, I saw the bow and arrow thrown high behind a tree, so I thought if I could also throw the cannonball high and land on the city wall, directly injuring the defenders.

After thinking about it for a long time, I asked my classmates to think about it with me. It took me half a year to get a rough idea, but I didn't expect to disturb the king himself. ""Um. "

Zhang Qi nodded slightly.

However, after a short while, several people came to the mortar. Looking at the Crouching Tiger Cannon that he and Abe had made, Luo Er's palms were a little sweaty and he rubbed it on his trouser legs.

Although he didn't know why Abe didn't tell Jun Shang the name of the new pao, he knew that the best advice was to just shut up if you don't understand anything.

"White Star, seal it."

Zhang Qi gave instructions, and Bai Xing stamped his seal on the cannon test application and handed it to Zhou Yang.

"Approved, Lin Abe, you can test the cannon."

With the approval document in hand, Zhou Yang looked relaxed. It seemed that this was not an attack on the enemy.

"promise!"

Lin Abei saluted Zhang Qi and Zhou Yang, pulled his classmate over, and the two continued to squat in front of the cannon and start tinkering.

The adjustment work had been completed before Zhang Qi came, but for safety, the two of them checked it again.

After confirming that there were no foreign objects in the barrel and the bracket was completely fixed, the two of them felt completely relieved.

Zhang Qi, who was standing behind and watching, also nodded.

Although the two of them were a little nervous when they first met him, their basic skills were solid and they were not affected by him even after they got into work.

The next step is to see if this hand-rubbed variant mortar can be successfully fired.

It is said to be a mutant mortar because these two people were limited by their enlightenment. Although the barrel is not as long as a cannon, its thickness is not much different from that of a cannon.

Similar to those gas tank mortars made in the Middle East in previous lives.

Even the shape of the cannonball is a round and elongated tail fin.

"Request a test cannon!"

"approve!"

Zhang Qi replied to the two of them.

Lin Abelol and the two picked up round mortar shells from the box on the side.

The cannonball is composed of an upper and lower shell. The round shell is filled with gunpowder and has a long fuse.

The long handle comes with a tail fin, and an explosive package is tied to the upper end of the tail fin. It also has a fuse, but it is shorter than the fuse on the round cannonball.

The two men came to the artillery equipment with the shells in their hands, looked at each other, and saw nervousness in each other's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, they both nodded and took out the fire fold from their waists.

"Prepare."

Lin Abe whispered.

The two of them each moved the flame towards the two leads.

"ignition!"

zi la la

The two fuses were ignited at the same time, and immediately, the shell was stuffed into the barrel.

"Come to me."

Seeing the two of them standing there after lighting the ignition, Zhang Qi yelled loudly.

Abe and Luo Er quickly ran back.

Although Abe believed in his calculations, after he actually lit the fire, he still couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

Without him, the pressure of Zhang Qi coming in person was too great, and Abe was afraid that he would fail.

Fortunately, with the accumulation of solid basic knowledge and the achievements gained after joining the army, among the artillery equipment, the short wire was burned out first, and the explosive pack tied above the tail fin exploded and pushed the entire shell out.

The fired cannonballs continued to roll in the air, but gradually, the tumbling cannonballs began to fall to the ground, and their posture became vertical.

Boom!
Before the cannonball hit the ground, the fuse on the round projectile had burned out, and the cannonball exploded directly five or six meters above the ground.

Smoke billows.

"Failed"

Abe beside Zhang Qi lowered his head in frustration.

But then, a hand patted his shoulder.

"No, you succeeded, but you still need some improvement."
