"Your Highness, what is it?"

Lu Fei couldn't wait to ask, not a bed crossbow, not a catapult, he had been hanging this question in his heart for a few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luo Xin also came over, with eye droppings still stained in the corners of his eyes, the confrontation in the past three days was boring enough.

At this time, Xiao Ming couldn't hide it anymore, and he asked Chen Qi and the others to lift the sackcloth.

Suddenly, a swarthy cannon with a cold metallic texture appeared in front of them.

"Hey, isn't this a torch?" Luo Xin looked weird, "But this appearance looks much stronger than a torch." ”

Niu Ben carefully looked at the artillery in front of him, and unlike Luo Xin, who made up his mind easily, he spared a circle along the artillery and carefully looked at the artillery.

"Your Highness, I don't know what it's called?" Niu Ben asked.

"This king calls it artillery." Xiao Ming said that Luo Xin's words were not wrong, after all, this barrel was the predecessor of artillery.

Nodding, Niu Ben circled around the cannon again, slapped the cannon body, and looked inside with his head against the muzzle of the cannon for a while, "This cannon is well-made, but it can't be compared to the cannon, and the cannon is thick and short, and the firing range is only about 200 meters, Your Highness will definitely not take this to attack the city, right?" ”

"The old general is thoughtful, the reason why this artillery is different from the barrel naturally has its subtleties, and you will see it later, Luo Xin, you don't want to be scared to pee your pants at that time."

Luo Xin smiled, "Your Highness, you can underestimate me, I can light a torch in the army." ”

"Really? In this case, the matter of this cannon can only be left to you, and the others have no experience. Xiao Ming said seriously.

Luo Xin grew up in Chang'an City, and his father was a great general Luo Quan, so his personality is naturally a little frivolous, not like other people.

"It's so easy," he said. ”

Lu Fei usually snatched this job, but he knew Xiao Ming very well, and when he saw the evil smile on Xiao Ming's face, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but this time he was honest and didn't fight with Luo Xin.

Luo Xin wanted to be the first to be a death squad, Chen Qi and others were quite helpless, but they still called dozens of people to help unload the gun from the car and fix it on the gun mount.

At this time, the artillery was pointed at the gates of Uborg at an oblique angle.

Then Chen Qi unloaded the shells, gunpowder, arquebuses, and tools for cleaning the artillery from the car and placed them in front of the artillery.

On the city tower at this time, Liu Chuang was watching the movements of the Qingzhou army below.

When he saw a strange thing being placed in front of the Qingzhou army, he suddenly had a very ominous feeling.

He asked the people around him, "When will the tunnel be dredged?" ”

Not known to outsiders, in fact, there are two tunnels leading to the outside of this Liujiawu Fort, one of which was blown up by him.

Originally, Liu Chuang wanted to escape through another tunnel, but he never thought that because the tunnel was in disrepair, some of the tunnels had collapsed, so he was trapped in this Wubao.

But these **** have been letting their subordinates dredge the tunnel, and once the dredging is successful, they can escape.

In the past few days, the Qingzhou army has besieged but not attacked, which is exactly what he wants, but it seems that this situation is about to end today.

"More than 200 people have been sent to dredge the tunnel, and now more than 50 meters have been cleared, it should be fast, I remember that only this section of soil is very soft, and it should be no problem after that."

"Speed up, or we'll be here this time, and take all the food and pay with me." Liu Chuang said.

"Yes." The man answered, and then said, "Then what about this cement?" Take it with you too? ”

"Idiot, how can this thing be taken away so heavy, and it can't be eaten or used."

From the time he caught the slave, Liu Chuang learned that this thing was called cement, but it was obviously useless to him.

The man nodded, turned around and went down the tower.

Liu Chuang looked down the city again, and at this time saw a man dressed as a lieutenant poking around in that strange thing with a long stick.

This person was none other than Luo Xin, and he was cleaning the chamber of the cannon.

And what he was holding in his hand was the bore strip that cleaned the bore.

At present, the artillery produced by the equipment department belongs to the front-loading smoothbore gun, and the gunpowder and shells must be loaded from the front, and the firing of the artillery requires a certain process, not nonsense.

Xiao Ming understands the loading procedures of artillery, so naturally there is no need to explore it again.

Because when the artillery was being produced, he asked Chen Qi to prepare all the rifles, gun chambers, gunpowder shovels, ignition sticks and other things, so as not to be in a hurry.

At the beginning, Luo Xin came up and wanted to stuff gunpowder and cannonballs into it, but he stopped it in time.

This cannon is not a cannon, and the tightness of the cannons does not need to be mentioned, but the shells of this cannon are almost as large as the muzzle, and they can just be stuffed in.

In this way, the explosion of ammunition is guaranteed, and the shells have sufficient power and range.

If something like sand gets mixed in, it's likely to cause a suffocation.

According to Xiao Ming's request, the cannon chamber was cleaned up, and then it was time to load the gunpowder and shells, and Luo Xin took out a full fork of gunpowder with a gunpowder shovel and sent it into the cannon chamber.

The tip of the powder shovel was in the shape of a groove, which was exactly the amount needed to fire the cannon at a time.

Finally, Luo Xin stuffed the solid cannonball into the bore, and then compacted the cannonball and gunpowder with a rifle.

"Your Highness, now you can do it." Luo Xin asked at this time.

He'd never been so delicate with a torch before.

"That's it." Xiao Ming said.

The ignition of the fire barrel and the artillery are the same, and the rest of Xiao Ming will not teach, but take a few steps back and stand far away.

Seeing Xiao Ming like this, the others also did the same, and they all took a few steps back.

As soon as Luo Xin turned around, he suddenly found that he was left alone, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He looked at Lu Fei, pulling this bastard even to death, and said, "Captain Lu, come together?" ”

"Captain Luo, please ask for it, and I'll give you the credit." Lu Fei looked humble.

Luo Xin looked at Xiao Ming again, only to see that Xiao Ming gave him an encouraging look.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xin stuffed the fire rope into the ammunition room from the hole in the back of the gun.

And the ignition stick Chen Qi has already lit it for him, and it is enough for him to light the fire rope.

"Your Highness, I ordered." Luo Xin shouted to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded, although he was a little mischievous Luo Xin, he still reminded: "Don't forget to cover your ears and stand farther away." ”

Luo Xin nodded, and took the ignition stick to light the fire rope at this time.

"Zizi", touched by the flame, the fire rope quickly began to burn, this kind of hemp rope soaked in oil, burning quickly.

After Luo Xin lit the fire, he took a step back and immediately covered his ears.

At this moment, a thunderous earth-shattering sound suddenly came out, and I saw flames and green smoke coming out of the cannon muzzle, and black cannonballs smashed on the city gate like lightning.

And the war horses in the Qingzhou army panicked and neighed, making a mess.
