Chapter 250: Iron Mine!
Scare!
This scene, not to mention this group of bandits, is this group of battle-hardened tigers, and most of them swallow saliva.
In front of him, the stump and broken arm, although only a dozen people died, but the smell of blood in front of him was like alcohol, evaporating and flying, and the qi and blood were vigorous.
Cao Chong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although Cao Chong had never experienced such a scene, but he was somewhat mentally prepared, so his performance would not be too bad.
But the bandits who were ambushed in the mountain pass were directly frightened.
Thundered~
The boulders tumbled, and countless stones fell to block the mouth of the valley.
These bandits are already scared, so scared that they can only block the road!
However, just blocking the intersection with stones naturally can't stop the footsteps of the tiger soldiers, and Cao Chong's soldiers can't stop them!
"Mortar ready!"
Immediately, in the midst of the crowd of tigers, six people came out, each operating a mortar.
These six people have been trained by Cao Chong, so they are quite orderly in terms of operation.
"Fire!" Cao Chong waved his hand forward, and at the same time roared hoarsely.
Grunt~
The iron-clad gunpowder shells were stuffed in, and in an instant, the huge iron barrel mortar produced some white smoke, and the temperature of the iron pipe rose sharply, and the surrounding air even became a lot hotter because of it.
Sou~
The mortar flew out at an angle, traveled through a parabolic trajectory in the air, and smashed into the pile of rocks.
Rumble~
Boom~
Three loud bangs rang out one after another, and one after another plumes of smoke and dust, accompanied by panicked voices ahead, pierced out together.
A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Chong's mouth.
Hey, hey, hey, this mortar is really done!
Of course, in this shooting, there are still a lot of shortcomings, first of all, the range is not enough.
Normal medium-caliber mortars are generally 81/82mm, 81mm is the most, and 80mm is no longer available except for Germany in World War II. In terms of the longest-range mortar in the world now, the Chinese Type 91 long-range mortar has a maximum range of 8000m when using 87 high-explosive shells, exceeding the 7800m of the French TDA MO 81 LP, of course, this is the farthest and least farthest mortar, and there is also a distance of more than 1,000 meters.
The normal range of a bow and arrow is 150 meters, unless there is a good bow, such as the English longbow has a killing effect around 200m to 250m, and there are also shots above 300m but the power can be ignored, so it is meaningless.
The distance of Cao Chong's mortar is about a thousand meters, but it is also seven or eight times farther than the range of arrows.
Mortars, in fact, are really not difficult to build.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a mortar, but at that time it was not called a mortar, but a "flying cannon".
The Ming Dynasty, as an era of great development of firearms in China, gave birth to a variety of firearms.
Firearms such as the Three-Eyed Gun, the Divine Cannon, the Divine Arrow, and the Fire Dragon are famous all over the world for various reasons, but the "Flying Cannon" is somewhat unknown.
The word "flying ore" can be understood as "flying ore", and "ore" actually refers to gunpowder and poison. As the name suggests, the flying cannon fires shells containing gunpowder, poison and iron slag.
History records that the firing range of this gun is "200 steps", that is, the firing range is conservatively estimated to be 300 meters.
And Cao Chong, with the vision of modern people, the thinking and wisdom of modern people, created a mortar with a range of 1,000 meters, which is naturally not a problem.
"Fire again!"
After a shot, the stones had completely dispersed, and the road at Taniguchi was even blown up a lot, and in front of Cao Chong, there were already many panicked bandits.
They howled hysterically and ran desperately, as if there were wolves and tigers behind them.
In fact, there are no jackal tigers behind them, but they are more terrifying than jackal tigers.
For this group of bandits, jackals and tigers are beasts and food, but the "divine thunder" with great power in front of them is the anger of Taiyi Zhengshen.
This is the wrath of the gods, how could mortals resist it, so they just ran away!
At this time, who else cares about someone's orders, it is important to save your life!
Of course, if they want to run, it depends on Cao Chongtong's disagreement, but in fact, Cao Chong disagrees.
And so a new round of shelling came out again.
Boom boom boom~
Three loud noises sounded one after another, the mountains and forests shook, and in the distant mountains, the howls and wails of fierce beasts sounded, and the large animals within ten miles had already escaped.
Yayaa~
After this cannonball, the surroundings became very quiet, and the noisiest people were the bandits of the barberry village who were desperately fleeing.
"Childe, what should I do at this time?" Although Gao Yi was shocked by the power of this mortar, he was not an ordinary person after all, and he had already accepted the matter of gunpowder, so for the mortar, after he was slightly shocked, he was calm.
And when you are calm, you can think about problems.
There are thousands of thieves in the barberry village, the actual number may be more than this number, although the front thieves were frightened by Cao Chong, but the information given to Cao Chong by full favor also came to an abrupt end here, at this time, whether to enter or not, is a problem.
Cao Chong pondered for a moment, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
A group of bandits are timid, so how can I, Cao Chong, compete with the heroes?
How to deal with Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, and how to lay a piece of military merit for himself?
Wealth is in danger, not to mention, now the bandits in Funiu Mountain have already been frightened by mortar artillery, and it is still unknown whether they dare to come forward at this time.
If you don't even take this risk, still compete for the position of the son of the bird?
"Up!"
Cao Chong pulled out the short sword at his waist, and his eyebrows and eyes were a lot more resolute.
Gao Yi took a deep look, and had to nod and say, "No!" ”
Promise is promise, there is such a dangerous thing, Cao Chong naturally will not let Cao Chong put himself in danger.
"Childe, when Gao Yi goes to explore the truth and reality, Childe will do it again!"
As soon as he said this, before Cao Chong could answer, Gao Yi immediately stepped forward.
Alas~
Cao Chong shook his head, he had to sigh, this Gao Yi is indeed careful and thoughtful in everything, and most of the reason why Cao Chong can be safe and worry-free is due to Gao Yi.
Since Gao Yi was going forward, although Cao Chong was not afraid, he also spared his life, so he acquiesced to Gao Yi's actions.
It didn't take a moment for Gao Yi's figure to appear in front of Cao Chong.
"Tell Childe, the front is safe, Childe can go forward!"
Cao Chong nodded and stepped forward.
The mouth of the valley is already wide open, in the mouth of the valley, there are pools of flesh and blood, exuding a strong smell of blood, Cao Chong endured the discomfort and walked in slowly.
The silence along the way was incomparable, but it made Cao Chong's heart lift, but fortunately, nothing happened along the way.
But soon, Cao Chong's face changed.
Because the road in front of me suddenly became bumpy, no, it can't be said to be bumpy, specifically, it should be potholes.
In front of Cao Chong, the black cave was uneven, and outside the cave, there were some mining tools.
Cao Zheng suddenly understood the reason why these bandits survived.
Because of this iron ore!
