Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 170 Park Huan

------------

"Teacher, the world will be shaken when the cannon is tested, you'd better not stay here. txt**" Wu Dong turned to Li Shishi and said.

"Why is that?" Master Li was taken aback.

"I'm afraid it will affect our children." Wu Dong laughed.

When the cannon was fired, the sound was too loud. If a pregnant woman like Li Shishi stayed here, her body would definitely be affected, and it would definitely be bad for the child, so Wu Dong must let her go.

Hearing what Wu Dong said, Master Li was taken aback.After waiting for so long, she finally had a child. For her, the child was more important than her own life.At the moment, she hurriedly left here by car and headed towards Incheon City.

After Li Shishi walked away, Wu Dong gave the order to start testing the artillery.

Dozens of people transported the huge copper cannon to the open space in the south of the military supply camp, and then stood here, waiting for Wu Dong's final order.

"Start!" Wu Dong said lightly.

Although the expression on his face was normal, his heart was full of anticipation!Artillery is the dividing line between cold weapons and hot weapons, and the emergence of hot weapons will completely change the war situation.If Liangshan can have the world's earliest artillery in this era, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and it will also be of great benefit to shortening the gap with the nomads.

Ling Zhen and several craftsmen were there to check the performance of the cannon, then put the gunpowder into it, and finally put a cannonball in.This cannonball is an iron bullet, which is different from the stone bullets used the earliest in history, and also different from the lead bullets used later.

Ling Zhen held a torch in his hand, and tremblingly lit the fuse.

After a while, a burst of flames suddenly appeared from the artillery, followed by a loud bang that shook the earth. For a moment, the sky and the earth turned pale, and the earth shook. Several soldiers fell to the ground at once.As for Ling Zhen and the others, they also fell to the ground.

As for Wu Dong, his own martial arts is extremely strong, but he is still standing there at this moment.He looked into the distance, only to see a puff of smoke rising in the distance. It seems that the cannon has been tested successfully?

"General Governor, we seem to have succeeded?" Ling Zhen got up from the ground, ran to Wu Dong, and shouted excitedly.

It's a pity that Wu Dong could hardly hear at this moment, he could only see Ling Zhen's mouth opening non-stop. It took him a long time to recover, and the people around him also recovered from the shock brought by the cannon.

"Hey, is this a cannon? It's like thunder!" The soldiers around were discussing.

"If this thing is put on the battlefield, the sound alone can startle countless horses!" Some soldiers said.

"Go and see how the shot is going and how powerful it is." Wu Dong hurriedly said.

He rode his horse and went forward, and the rest of the soldiers and craftsmen hurriedly followed him.At this moment, everyone is very curious about the result, and they all want to see the real power of this artillery.

Soon, Wu Dong came to the crater. He visually estimated that the range of this artillery was more than 700 meters, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed!This artillery is extremely primitive, and its range is much worse than that of later generations, but it is much stronger than the current trebuchet!The current trebuchet is generally about 200 meters away, and the trebuchet improved by Liangshan can reach a maximum distance of 300 meters.In later generations, when the ancients fought in all directions, they developed the return cannon, and the range was only 400 meters.And this primitive artillery that has just been developed compares all these trebuchets.

"Great governor, that's great!" Ling Zhen ran to Wu Dong, measured it carefully, and shouted at Wu Dong excitedly.

"Well, it's quite good! It's just that the range is not enough, the barrel is too heavy, and the solid ammunition is used, and the power is very average!" Wu Dong said.

"Ah? Commander, isn't this powerful enough?" Ling Zhen couldn't believe it.

"A real cannon can have a range of tens of miles, and it can kill hundreds of people... However, I'm afraid I won't see such a cannon in my lifetime." In the last sentence, Wu Dong sighed. .

"Governor, besides solid bullets, are there any other bombs?" Ling Zhen didn't believe what Wu Dong said at all. If there were such weapons, they must be used by the gods in the sky, and mortals can't. It is impossible to develop it, but he is very interested in the "solid bullet" that Wu Dong said, and wants to know why Wu Dong is dissatisfied with the "solid bullet".

"In addition to solid bullets, there are also explosive bullets, that is, filling the shells with gunpowder, and then filling them with countless steel balls. Let the shells explode the moment they touch the ground, and use the explosive force of the explosives to dislodge the steel balls. Such things can be shot out to severely injure the enemy. It can also be purely filled with gunpowder, but ordinary gunpowder is probably not enough." Wu Dong said while discussing the relevant memories in his heart.

Many shells of later generations are directly filled with gunpowder, and explode a large area at once. Unfortunately, the gunpowder technology of this era is very backward. If it is purely filled with gunpowder, it will not have much lethality at all, so it must be made according to what Wu Dong said. .

Ling Zhen is very curious about what Wu Dong said. He is a person who concentrates on technology, and doesn't care much about his status and so on. Right now, he squatted down beside the bomb crater, scratching around on the ground, studying Wu Dong. those things said.Occasionally, he raised his head and studied with Wu Dong, but Wu Dong didn't care.At the end, Wu Dong also squatted down and studied with him.

In fact, the principle of artillery is not very complicated. Primitive artillery like this has almost no technical content. The main thing is the production of the barrel. If the barrel can be made, the projectile can be fired.Historically, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were rockets using giant bamboo as a tube. The principle of this rocket is the same as that of the original artillery.

The two squatted down to study, and those gunpowder craftsmen also squatted down, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and they all benefited a lot.

"Governor, how do you know so many things?" Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them stopped, and Ling Zhen asked excitedly.

"These things... I understand it by nature! You should study the artillery well, try to make the weight of the artillery lighter, make the range of the artillery longer, and you must research the huahua ammunition! If you can reduce the weight of the artillery Reduce it to half of what it is now, let the artillery range reach two miles, and at the same time research the cracking bomb, I will reward each of you with 1000 taels of silver!" Wu Dong thought for a while and said.

"Ah? So many!" The craftsmen around were stunned, unbelievable.

1000 taels of silver, that is an unimaginably huge sum in this era!Now the value of silver is still very high. In the Qing Dynasty, the value of silver was greatly depreciated. It was written in the scholars of the Qing Dynasty that Fan Jin was a teacher in a si school, and he only had 2 taels of silver a year, which was enough for a family of three. What is needed, let alone 1000 taels of silver?

At the border between the Khitan Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, there are several people who are heading south.

"Master Park, we have finally come to Da Song!" A man looked at the city in front of him and said with tears on his face.

"Yeah! We finally came to Song Dynasty! But we didn't get in touch with the Kingdom of Jin. We only contacted the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid we can't drive away those invaders!" The leading man said sadly with a beard on his face.

"No matter what, we finally came to a safe place!" Someone said.

"Master Park, where are we going now? Do we go directly to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty?" He said again humanely.

"That's right, go to Bianliang, meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, explain the situation in Korea to him, and beg for his help!" Mr. Park said humanely.
