A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 309 42. The big tube is really a ghost

Following the first explosion, there was a second, more violent explosion, and the vibration was even harsh.

Unable to sit still, several people immediately stood up and walked outside the residence. The attendants and maids along the way were a little panicked, but they were still in order. No one was running around or shouting, just looking around uneasily.

"Come here, go to the city to inquire." Yamauchi Yoshiji called to a familiar attendant.

"Father, what happened in the city?" After giving the instructions, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu strode in from outside the residence. After seeing that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was fine, his expression became much calmer.

"It's fine for you, Dian Mang. Everything in the city is safe." The father is kind and the son is filial, which is very warm.

Several people greeted each other separately, but did not enter the room and sit down. Still waiting for the manpower from outside to come into the city to report.

"Your Highness, there was an explosion in the smelting house below the city!" A concentric person from the city came in first to report.

"What is the specific situation?" "It seems that the chamber exploded during the test of the gun, and sparks ignited the powder barrel next to it. But fortunately, it was at the test firing range, and the entire smelting house was not implicated."

"Is anyone injured?" Yamauchi Yoshiji heard that there was no problem with the forging house, so he didn't care much.

"Well, His Royal Highness Yuanzhou was at the test shooting range at that time." The person who came to report buried his head deeply into his body and answered in a lower and lower voice.

"What! Saburo Goro!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu quickly changed from an indifferent expression to a panicked and anxious expression.

He quickly pushed aside the others in front of him, took the horse and went down to the city. Everyone dared to follow him.

Who knows what trouble Imagawa Yoshichi may have caused. If the ball dies, Yamauchi Yoshiharu will be sad, and his rule over Toe Hankuni and Suruga Shita County will be shaken.

Whether you say Yamauchi Yoshiharu cares about his son or whether he cares about the safety of the country's rule, nothing can happen to Imakawa Yoshinori for the time being.

By the time everyone arrived at the scene, the town official had already sent people to put out the fire and deal with the scene. The huge smelting and forging house has stopped working at this moment, and the originally hot furnace and the sound of hammering and forging have stopped.

The craftsmen's apprentices were gathered outside the door to be questioned by their colleagues, and each one of them was shouted at submissively. Now that they saw that Yamauchi Yoshiharu had arrived, many of them fell to their knees and did not dare to speak.

"What's going on? Where is Saburo Goro?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu was of course most concerned about his son at the moment. The other dead and injured were just a few people who burned the money to pay for medicine.

A mayor from the town hall knelt down on one knee in front of Yamauchi Yoshiharu. This was probably the first time he was talking to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. It looked like he was not a samurai.

"The doctor has been invited and is treating His Highness Yuanzhou." One sentence frightened everyone and they were all treated! This can be better!

Xiao Pingtai pointed at him: "Is your life in danger? Where is Your Highness Yuanzhou now?"

"Oh, oh, oh, there is no danger of life. It's at the hospital in front." This man's answering skills were really bad, and he almost scared people to death. As expected, he could only do odd jobs in the castle town.

"Lead the way." Xiaoping was so scary that he would scare people if he said anything ambiguous, so he simply told him to leave quickly and stop talking.

After everyone saw Imagawa Yoshiki, they realized that everyone was wrong. Everyone thought too much, and their thinking was a little crooked.

Imagawa Yoshichichi was working hard to take care of the injured apprentice craftsman in the command post with a black face, looking like he was alive and kicking.

"What nonsense, doctor, save me, you are here to dictate." Yamauchi Yoshiharu saw Imagawa Yoshiuchi's monkey-like dirty look and became furious.

Imagawa Yoshitsune caused a huge turmoil, but now he is completely fine and is still happy.

"Father, eldest brother." As soon as Imagawa Yoshichichi saw that I and his eldest brother were here, he immediately saluted and said hello in a polite and polite manner.

"Tell me what's going on." "Father and I will find out when we go to the shooting range." When Imagawa Yoshichichi heard the question, he was a little excited.

He took everyone to the shooting range, which still looked like it had just exploded. But there wasn't much gunpowder to detonate, just a small bucket, which weighed only a few kilograms. The power of black powder is beyond words. The sound is more powerful, and it's good for firecrackers.

Soon, an attendant carried an iron cannon with an exploded chamber. Please pay attention, it was carried!

The barrel of the gun has exploded and rolled up like a twist. And this iron cannon is very weird. It has almost no butt, only a wooden gun base and the necessary ignition device.

Xiaopingtai immediately realized when he saw it, it was just Benzi’s own devilish hugging tube!

It was the 100-cylinder barrel that Koheita abandoned when he inspected the Japanese iron cannon market many years ago. And looking at the one in front of him, it might be even bigger than the 100-cylinder gun. The caliber and projectiles are ridiculous.

And this is what Imakawa Yoshinori has been doing for the past two months!

He and the craftsmen were test-firing today. The 100-meter barrel in front of him was obviously very unsuccessful in making it, and it all exploded.

But according to Imagawa Yoshiuchi, this was a deliberate comparison experiment. Because the barrel of this large barrel with an explosive chamber is deliberately made of two pieces, just to compare with the one-piece barrel.

The one-piece large barrel has been test-fired first, and there are no problems at all. The operation process is the same as a normal iron cannon.

As he was talking, someone dragged a large barrel mounted on an artillery cart over. The artillery cart was very simple, just a wooden frame and two large wheels. It doesn't seem to have the function of adjusting the shooting angle, but at least it's not a weird thing to rely on people to hold and launch.

After speaking, Imagawa Yoshichichi was about to go up and demonstrate to Yamauchi Yoshiharu, but he turned around and was grabbed by two of Yamauchi Yoshiharu's attendants. I didn't dare to let him get started again. The apprentice operator of the big barrel that had just exploded probably couldn't save one of his eyes, so he couldn't take the risk.

However, two apprentices who had already tried the gun and shot it once took the initiative to operate it. They seemed to be very confident in the large barrel they had personally participated in making.

And they actually didn't use the big bullets with a caliber that weighed a hundred yen, as Xiao Pingtai thought. Instead, they stuffed a dozen or twenty small pellets that weighed 6 yen into the barrel of the gun.

After operating the launch, the wooden board fifty meters away was riddled with holes and was in tatters.

In addition to the loud emission, the unexpected effect is quite good!

Sure enough, existence is reasonable!

Imagawa Yoshichichi silently pointed out Otsutsuki's technology, but Yamauchi Yoshiharu obviously thought more about it.

A dozen straw men wearing ordinary dummies were carried in front of them, and a large round of shotgun was fired at them. Good guy, the first few dummies were all hit by bullets, and the bullet holes in the dummies were shocking. One of them actually "hit three yuan in a row" and his pills were smashed.

This kid, Imagawa Yoshiuchi, unexpectedly pointed out a weird military technology.
