Chapter 120 Water Dragon Cannon

While Feng Mingze and his party were still marching carefully on the snow, they encountered a fierce attack from the Tatar army in front of the Xuanfu Pass.

There were four tribes who came to attack Xuanfu Pass this time. The easternmost tribe fell out with the other three tribes after their blueprints were "burned" by Feng Mingze because of their haste. Their general simply kidnapped Feng Mingze. Went back to my hometown.

The other three tribes thought to themselves that they had come, even if they were not very good at using firearms and did not exert their maximum effectiveness, they could not come in vain.You have to go into the customs to grab some food before you can go back.So, they gathered their forces and launched another attack with siege artillery.

Cheng Yu led King Duan, King Cheng and Wang Yue to the top of the city. Rockets were shooting towards the top of the city. However, it was snowy and the power of the gunpowder on the arrows was reduced a lot.

"Wang Governor, what do you think?" King Duan asked with his hands behind his back.

Wang Yue wore a mink hat with ear flaps that covered his ears and cheeks. When he saw King Duan asking him, he hurriedly said loudly: "The Tatars' firepower is not good! Let them fight until they run out of ammunition." , they will withdraw."

But King Cheng said: "The power of the rocket cannot be exerted, but look below, the artillery hit directly on the gate of Guanzhen. With a few more shots, the gate may not be able to withstand it!" He glanced at Wang Yue and added: " Overseer Wang, please remove your ear caps and listen carefully."

Wang Yue knew that King Cheng was mocking him, but he said without changing his expression: "This is a problem that Mr. Cheng needs to consider. Mr. Cheng, you are the general. You can't wait for our people who have come all the way to take advantage of the enemy." Ce?"

Cheng Yu was still silently counting the frequency and hit rate of their artillery fire, ignoring his words. After counting a stage, he looked at Wang Yue.

He pointed to the Tatar artillery and said: "In the past, the Tatars had no artillery. We were condescending and had a great advantage. Now they can also build artillery. They attack with artillery and stand far away, beyond the range of our crossbows." We are on the same point and they are on the same side. Even if our artillery attacks each other, we are still at a disadvantage."

"The Tatars have few artillery, so we will attack their artillery first, and then wait until they are silenced." King Duan looked at Cheng Yu and said.

Cheng Yu nodded and asked someone to prepare the three-eyed gun.It is said that the distance of siege artillery is about 250 steps, and the range of three-eyed musket is within 300 steps.But now we were firing against the wind, while they were firing against the wind. Coupled with the high wind speed, the three-eyed gun lost its accuracy, even after firing several rounds.

Wang Yue looked at it and cursed repeatedly: "Idiot! Idiot! You can't hit me like this. You are really just eating the royal food and not working."

"Wang Governor, I remember that the weapons you brought included thunder guns. Hurry up and have someone take them out and try them!" King Duan said with a serious face.

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked someone to unload the weapons on the carriage.The Thunder Cannon can shoot up to 500 steps, but the number produced is still very small. All of them are allocated to the Shenji Battalion itself, and there is no equipment in Bianzhen.

The Thunder Cannon was in place, but like the Three-Eyed Cannon, it encountered the problem of the north wind.

King Duan stood next to the archer soldiers and said to them: "Estimate how far you missed just now, and when you aim again, just how far you will miss in the opposite direction. The wind is coming in gusts, so we bet that we will encounter the same thing." Powerful wind!" Cheng Yu nodded and said: "The frequency of each gust of wind also has a rhythm. According to the rhythm, you can bet on it."

The archer soldier fired another bullet, and the distance was closer. The soldiers suddenly gained confidence. Waiting for a gust of wind, the Tatar artillery was hit by a thunderbolt bullet!
The Tatar artillery was silenced.The soldiers in Guan Town cheered.

At this time, Dong Haoran and Feng Mingze, who had returned to Xuanfu Town, also climbed onto the tower.Dong Haoran shouted from a distance: "Mr. Cheng, look who's back?"

Everyone turned their heads and were pleasantly surprised to see Feng Mingze in military uniform walking over after Dong Hao.

"Prince Duan, Commander-in-Chief, I'm back!" Feng Mingze clasped his fists and saluted.

"Just come back! The Tatar siege artillery was silenced by us just now. Come and see how we will fight back next?" Cheng Yu happily patted Feng Mingze on the shoulder.

Feng Mingze nodded. He observed and said, "The Tatar barbarians seem to be retreating! Don't worry, we will have time to make a decision once we see their next move."

The wind was strong above, and a few people temporarily walked down from the tower.

Wang Yue looked at Feng Mingze as he walked and asked: "Vice General Feng, how did you escape from the Tatars?" Feng Mingze replied: "General, when the Tatar guards were not paying attention, they ran to the border and were rescued later. , then Vice General Dong and the others came looking for them."

Wang Yue smiled meaningfully: "You are really lucky. You have fallen into the hands of the Tatars for a long time, and you can still run back with all your hands and feet!" Feng Mingze pretended not to hear, turned to Dong Haoran and smiled: "Haoran , it’s time to take out the water dragon cannon we made and try it.”

Cheng Yu asked: "Isn't the water dragon cannon yet to solve the problem of water freezing speed?"

"I was reminded by chance that I had already thought of a way." Feng Mingze said, and then ordered his men to boil water: "The more the better, pour it into the water cannon's water bucket." Although Dong Haoran didn't know what he meant, he also followed it in person. Past supervision.

Cheng Yu was funny and said to Feng Mingze: "It seems that your mind has not been idle these past two days." He suddenly remembered that Haitang was still in the mansion, so he said: "Go down to the mansion to rest first, and I will call you when there is military situation." .”

Feng Mingze understood and walked quickly to the courtyard.
