Country and Beauty

Xie Fei was really afraid that Zhuge Mingyue would make an embroidered pillow. Xie Fei anxiously wanted to test the power of this hybrid cannon. Xie Fei asked a soldier of the Institute of Martial Studies's garrison to push the cannon cart out.

He tried to push it, but the turret didn't budge at all. Xie Fei looked at the big and tall soldier who couldn't even move the turret gun and was a little displeased. The soldier looked embarrassed, and immediately used all his strength to push the turret, but the turret seemed to be moving slowly, looking like it was heavy and cumbersome.

However, Xie Fei thought that this shouldn't be, after all, this turret, other than the Fu Lang Cannon and the six cannons, it only had a total weight of 500 to 600 jin. Not to mention that the soldier had a lot of strength, even if an adult man was to push it 500 to 600 jin it should not be that taxing, so Xie Fei pushed the soldier aside, wanting to test if the turret was really that heavy. With a push, Xie Fei was shocked, even if he had more strength, he could only barely push the turret, and his speed was not that much faster than the soldier's.

Just then, Xie Fei started muttering to himself, the inside of the warehouse and the road of the courtyard were all paved with the same piece of bluestone, the difference between the road and the road of the official road was too huge, if the cannon carriage wanted to move quickly, it would need at least five or six soldiers' strength, if it was in the midst of a battle, it would definitely be disadvantageous. However, Xie Fei quickly discovered the crux of the problem. The vehicles of that era did not have any bearings, and their wheels and axes were all connected, so the friction was not as big as a plate because there were no bearings.

Xie Fei knew about the structure of bearings, but it was much easier to create precision bearings in that era than to produce artillery. Especially those steel balls of the same size, according to the production technology of this era, it might not even be able to produce a few sets a year. Even if the craftsmen in Institute of Martial Studies could make difficult bearings, there was no better way to improve the rust prevention and the quality of the bearings.

After exiting the warehouse, the four soldiers of the garrison unit pushed their turrets towards the test site at the back of the mountain. However, the road was steep and difficult to walk on, and it took them almost an hour of effort to reach the test site.

All along the way, Xie Fei had been trying to improve the movement speed of the cannon carts. The key point was the production of bearings, Xie Fei vaguely remembered that according to the construction of the axle bearings, they had long been recorded. From the perspective of archaeological relics and data,

The oldest bearing in China had a modern rolling bearing structure, but that era's ancients used logs to reduce the friction between goods and the ground, thus saving time and effort. Xie Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, since deep groove ball bearings could not be produced using the current production technology, why not use cylindrical roller bearing instead of central rolling one, relatively speaking, cylindrical body was much easier to produce than steel ball. Thinking about it, Xie Fei's depression was swept away.

In a flat area at the foot of the back mountain, from the south to the north, there was an open area. Although this place was very flat, there were several mountain ranges surrounding it. There was a wall surrounding the mountain range and there were sentries posted on it. Since the back of the mountain was empty land and there was no smoke, Xie Fei was not worried that he would hurt innocent people because of a mistake.

Xie Fei nodded and asked impatiently: "Do you know how to shoot cannons? Who's going to try and take the shot?! "

Just then, Zhuge Mingyue revealed a difficult expression.

Xie Fei asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "

Zhuge Mingyue pouted: "If the sound of this fire is too loud, I'm afraid I'll lose my sense of hearing!"

Although Zhuge Mingyue had a good relationship with him, but when she was with an outsider, Zhuge Mingyue had a sudden realization. She did not play around with Xie Fei, and did not call him Brother Fei, but respectfully called him Xie Fei!

Xie Fei laughed without a care: "When you guys are firing your cannons in the future, as long as you open your mouths as much as possible, this way you won't go deaf. In the future, you can make some cotton earplugs for the soldiers who fired the cannons. You can do it! "

Zhuge Mingyue asked: "I wonder what this lord is prepared to aim for!"

Although the entire testing ground had countless arrows aimed at them, they did not have any walls specialized in making cannon targets. Xie Fei looked around and saw that more than five kilometers away was the walls of the testing ground. Xie Fei pointed to the walls of the testing grounds and said, "Do you see it? "I want to see the power of this cannon." Xie Fei looked a little excited.

Zhuge Mingyue surveyed the surroundings and revealed an ugly expression: "Reporting to my lord, the target is too far away, the largest range of this kind of cannons is only about a thousand steps, at such a distance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hit it!"

Xie Fei was currently in a good mood, and leisurely laughed: "It doesn't matter if I fail, it's just an experiment anyways, if I fire a few more shots, I'll be able to land a hit!"

After hearing what Xie Fei said, Zhuge Mingyue did not say anything else. She turned around and whispered to the technicians who were manufacturing the cannons. A moment later, a gun technician pointed at the wall, looked at it, adjusted the angle of the turret, then took out a bullet from the end of the turret and gently put it in the back of the turret. After inspecting it carefully, after confirming that there were no problems, the operator adjusted the angle and direction one last time, turned around and said to Zhuge Mingyue: "We are ready.

It can be launched! "

Xie Fei nodded, "Prepare, shoot!"

The men around the cannon immediately retreated. A man holding a torch walked up to the end of the cannon with a pale face. He carefully lit up the cannon and ran more than ten meters back before squatting down.

"Boom!" A loud earth-shattering sound rang out, and the entire ground seemed to shake violently. A huge tremor shook under their feet, and the shockwave from the cannon shot out in all directions.

Xie Fei could not help but shake, and looked towards the target, but unfortunately he did not directly hit the target, the nine bullets landed about ten steps away from the city walls, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Although it did not hit its target, it was still able to make Wang Meng dumbstruck. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses. In their era, when had they ever seen such a powerful weapon, not to mention the fact that there was an insurmountable distance between them? Even the most powerful bed crossbow of that era only had a range of 1000 steps, and although it was only an iron spear, even if it was able to pierce through three or four of them as if it was a gourd, the probability was about the same as being struck by lightning. However, the distance from this shell was definitely not less than 1500 steps. Moreover, the area of effect would not be less than a hundred feet.

Wang Meng excitedly said, "Congratulations my lord! Congratulations my lord. With this weapon in hand, there is no one in this world who can match my lord's great army."

Xie Fei shook his head, he was not worried about the range of the Buddhist cannons. In fact, even if there was a thousand steps between them, with the speed of the Buddhist cannons, even if they were to face the full charge of the Huns, they would still be able to shoot three cannons each. In that case, the morale of any cavalry would be severely damaged, and even the ferocious Xianbei member would suffer a huge blow to their morale. Field operations connect the artillery vehicles into a formation and fire a barrage of fire, capable of killing the enemy from a distance and preventing cavalry from launching a surprise attack.

Xie Fei walked to the front of the cannon cart. He knew that the Buddhist cannons belonged to the ancestors of future generations of cannons. As long as they could adjust their angle of view, they could also increase the firing range of the cannons. However, because the cannons of the cannons were fixed onto the cart, it did not change the angle of the cannons. Xie Fei circled around the cannons two times, and said secretly: "I got it," Xie Fei said to the gunner: "Dig five inches deep in this position!"

The gunner did not understand Xie Fei's intentions, but since Xie Fei was the lord, he could not disobey the lord's orders, so he quickly used his weapon to dig the bottom of the chariot.

Xie Fei saw that because of the deep hole in the ground, the shaft of the chariot could be lowered, thus raising the firing angle, Xie Fei ordered for it to be launched again!

As expected, this time, Xie Fei was not disappointed. Following a loud explosion, the cannonball that was shot out smashed into the wall, causing a large piece of the wall to collapse with a "huala" sound, forming a huge hole of seventy to eighty feet wide in the wall. Ran Zhan could not help but sigh with emotion, "It's so f * cking powerful, if it had such power, then there would be no more danger in the various cities of the Jizhou, and the wall would not be any weaker than the walls of the Jizhou. Even if it was stronger than this, if it could not be destroyed with a single cannon shot, then it would be worth two cannons, since there would be a distance of over 1500 steps between them. The enemy couldn't reach it either.

Xie Fei was satisfied with the cannon's power and range. Although the cannons used in the future were trash amongst trash, but to be able to do this in this era was already not bad. However, Xie Fei was most dissatisfied with the way this type of cannon looked up, but Xie Fei still reminded him that he could use a swing to adjust the angle and direction of firing. That way, he wouldn't need to move the cannon car as a whole.

Xie Fei said to Zhuge Mingyue: "Not bad, the power of this cannon is much greater than I thought!"

Zhuge Mingyue could not help but reveal an excited smile when she heard Xie Fei's praise. Xie Fei said: "From today onwards, the Institute of Martial Studies must allocate half of your manpower to produce this cannon. Mingyue, you must do your best to make it more convenient and use all your resources!"

Zhuge Mingyue said sternly: "Yes, my lord. This lowly servant will definitely complete the mission with all my strength!"

Xie Fei couldn't help but to be shocked from the bottom of his heart as he caressed this kind of Fowler cannon that had only appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Xie Fei patted the cannon s pitch black sound, feeling the domineering aura, the appearance of this kind of cannon will definitely give the world a huge surprise! " Xie Fei muttered to himself, "If you want to do something good, you must first take advantage of the situation. With the advent of this type of cannon, what Huns Cavalry, Fresh Iron Cavalry, Karma, Qiang, all of this will turn you into dead meat!"

When Wang Meng and Ran Zhan saw this weapon, their eyes glowed with green light.

Xie Fei suddenly asked: "If Institute of Martial Studies were to produce it at full speed, how much could she produce?"

Zhuge Mingyue said: "Because this type of cannon is too expensive in the Steel Village, ten heavy axes, ten sets of heavy armors, and one hundred horizontal blades are needed to consume the steel of this cannon, this type of cannon is truly too difficult to forge, especially this type of cannon barrel, it requires over eight hundred craftsmen a month to make one. If five thousand craftsmen were to produce it at the same time, then it can produce six of these cannons a month!"

Although the output was small, Xie Fei knew that it was impossible to produce all of this without an industrial foundation. Xie Fei said: "Pay Xun Chuo some silver, don't treat these hardworking craftsmen unfairly!" Xie Fei was very happy, now he can finally use the smallest price to pacify the Jizhou, no matter how many troops Wang Jun has, I don't believe that you can take my cannon's bombardment lightly!

Before Xie Fei left, he specially instructed the Institute of Martial Studies to develop the bearings as soon as possible.

After returning to the Cyan Plains, Xie Fei did not rush back to the general in a hurry. Now that he had the cannon, Xie Fei was not afraid of Wang Jun defending the city with his life on the line.

Although the appearance of Xie Fei, this otherworldly butterfly, had messed up the original trajectory of history, history would always automatically restore itself. Just as Xie Fei's gaze was fixated on the Jizhou, a message came from the shadow of the Hun Kingdom in Liuzhou.

It was almost exactly the same as in real history. Yong Jia, four years (310 AD), Liu Yuan died of illness, was conferred the title Emperor Guang Wen for six years, was succeeded by his son Liu He (with the title of secretary being Liu X), and in the name of "Xing Han", Liu Yuan relied on his corpse to return the favor. After he defeated Liu Jing, he brutally drove more than thirty thousand Han people into the Yellow River to drown. When Liu Yuan heard this, he became furious and immediately ordered for Liu Jing to be demoted. However, because he had been in charge of the Pingyang for so long, he could not restrain the wolf-like sons and generals of the Five Tribes in the Huns' headquarters, causing the Han army to attack and capture the people of the land. At the end of his reign, he had already seen that the hatred between the Huns and the people of the Han nationality would not be extinguished.

After Crown Prince Liu He ascended the throne, Liu Cong was dissatisfied with Liu He's succession. Because Xie Fei's initial strategy towards the Huns was to help them control their hearing, Xie Fei commanded the Shadow Squad to gather information on Liu Cong's military activities, and then intentionally revealed them to Liu He. Thus, in the battle for the initial Huns, Liu He was different from history. However, Liu He also made the same mistake as the later Ming Dynasty's Emperor Jianwen. In order to preserve his throne, he cut off the insides of his uncle Huyan Kui without defeating his political opponent, Liu Cong. At the beginning, Liu He did not agree with him, and Huyan Kuo told Liu She the story of the Seven Kingdoms' chaos in the Han Dynasty in 154 BC, as well as the Eight Kings' chaos in the Jin Dynasty. And put forward to Liu He the strategy of completely cutting the surface of the body.

During the feudal era, there was no doubt about it, it was just that Liu He chose the wrong time, causing the other Huns to realize that their position was in danger, and immediately turned their backs, almost all of them joining Liu Cong's camp.

When Liu Cong was in an extremely disadvantageous situation, he flipped over and directed his troops. At the same time, Liu He's forces all fell and at the same time, Liu Cong's army of over a hundred thousand attacked Pingyang! If something unexpected happened, Liu Cong would definitely act in the same way as in history, beheading Liu He and becoming the emperor!
