readx;?“ To tell the truth, although we are all in the country of Tarsus against the emperor's army and order, but you are as shameless and bold as the brown bear, and hang the portrait of the emperor equivalent to the holy apostle on the target platform" Agnes felt that she was really in the company of a madman, she was completely capable of killing people like Callegos and Pukripps, but it was really difficult to do something like Gawain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But Gawain only raised his left hand and motioned for her to watch carefully.

Agnes's attention was placed on the wall of two half-moon-shaped earthen baskets at the edge of the range, and the first thing she saw was a strange bronze cast, reinforced with pins and nine hoops, at the front end was a copper pipe four feet long, about six Anna inches in diameter, and then at the tail of the brass pipe was a shoulder-shaped semi-open device, cast into one with the breech long brass pipe, "like a Perfume spout bottle of Persian enamel." Agnes made an analogy.

"Yes, it's called the Persian perfume bottle." Gawain was pleased with the figurative name of the little sunfish, but it did serve to cover his armament and confuse the enemy's judgment, "Nexus Sanzavar, henceforth your team of pyrinos will call this weapon this name." ”

On the side of the earthen basket wall, a young black-haired general immediately turned around and raised his hand, indicating obedience to the arrangement, Nexus was originally the seventh son of Nika Callegos, and was later adopted by the old commander Walter Sanzabal together with his brother Gaia, and cut off his original surname, since then the brothers have been serving in the "Caesar's Mounted Cavalry Regiment", and now Nexus has been promoted to Earl and transferred out of the cavalry regiment to command the new team of firethrowers, and is responsible for controlling this new firearm called "Persian Perfume Bottle".

Amid the slightly floating dust and sunlight, Gawain snapped his fingers, "With this, the light artillery wagons that were originally ejected with nooses, chutes and hoisting wheels can be withdrawn from the regular brigade sequence, and they can be reassigned to the local people's army to be responsible for guarding important places." ”

Half-convinced, Agnes blinked her eyes and looked at the thick mouth of the perfume bottle, dark cyan metal, glowing with a circle of bright white reflections, silently and terrifyingly facing the portrait of the emperor five hundred feet away, on which the expression of "Alexios" seemed to be calling for provocation, "Come, come, come to fight me."

The distance of 500 feet has basically surpassed the range of all actual combat long-range shooters in this world, except for some siege equipment, such as the "Great Plani Cannon" invented by Agnes, the Latin bow is known to be powerful but the effective shooting distance is only 300 feet, while the effective shooting distance of the Eastern recurve bow may only be between 80 feet and 200 feet.

The entire 500-square-foot space was a bare castle field, and there was no obstruction.

A pyrometer with an umbrella-shaped horsehair crown on his helmet and a long pole stood solemnly on the "mouth of the perfume bottle" after Nexus raised the flag, and immediately placed a small wooden mark dipped in sticky wax on the "mouth of the bottle", so that it could compensate for the curvature of the casting, so that the sight of the target, the wooden mark and the firethrower would be leveled. The other two pyropers in the back, after adjusting the angle of the long-spouted perfume bottle with the "ears" on both sides on the pivot, one of them grabbed the iron ring on the side and lifted an oblong iron tube, and then filled the wide open belly of the "perfume bottle" very appropriately, and the other began to wedge the bronze "cannon tail" with a wooden pole into the tail of the perfume bottle to make it completely closed, and anchored the iron chain dragged on the cannon tail to the pivot.

The grenadier, holding a long pole of flame, then began to hang it horizontally from the side of the perfume bottle, where there was also a gap that was used for ignition

"Ready!" The three throwers took their positions and shouted.

"Shoot." Nexus waved the command flag.

"Bang", the muzzle of the perfume bottle immediately spewed out a large cloud of white smoke and sparks, and the body slid a little behind the pivot very calmly, which means that the projectile is very reliable under the casting of excellent Syrian craftsmen.

In the loud noise, Agnes naturally did not be frightened and inexplicable like an ordinary girl, on the contrary, she saw very calmly that in an instant, the Khitan snow in the iron pipe that cut into the belly of the perfume bottle exploded, and it was not the previous fire arrow and the tufted sword inside, but a black round projectile, which swept out like a meteor for a full five hundred feet, piercing a large hole in the neck of the "emperor" in the portrait, and sawdust and rags were scattered, flying radioactively everywhere.

"Cry afraid, cry afraid" Agnes rubbed her hands, involuntarily with a mouth fetish such a penetrating power, even if it hit a cavalryman with full armor, the other party was beaten out of a transparent blood hole with people and horses.

But before she could finish her sighing, there was another sound of shooting, and in a short time, the firethrowers withdrew the iron cylinders they had shot before, and with a swirling smoke, threw them on the soft ground and swirled them with a clatter, and then lifted another charge into the abdomen, and fired the projectile again, which was slightly out of position, and the earthen basket on the portrait of the emperor was shattered and fell, and soon the third iron cylinder and the fourth were fired in turn like electricity.

After the seventh shot, the perfume bottle smoked and rested.

Agnes looked up and saw that the portrait of the emperor had been shattered, the target platform had also collapsed, and the stone wall behind it had been scarred by the bouncing projectiles, "I'm so scared." ”

"Because the quantitative charge of the paper tube is adopted, it will be able to quickly reload and launch after the barrel cools down for half an hour, and it will be another round of seven rounds of the barrel, which shoots out the lead pellet but the lead is a little too expensive, in order to show you the live ammunition operation, if the consumption is too large in wartime, you can only mobilize the stonemasons and farmers to polish the stone pellet." Gawain was triumphant, "This Persian perfume bottle is best used in the car bases, city walls and chariots and ships, which can be used in field battles, cities and naval battles, with your big prani cannon, both offensive and defensive. ”

"Don't slap my ass!" Agnes said angrily, "All these things of yours have been taken from me. ”

"No, you're giving me the foundation of mechanical engineering, and these design ideas are my own, so it's innovation rather than follow." Gawain mimicked the penguin boss's gesture and wisely placed his finger at his temple.

Agnes was still about to be angry, and suddenly behind another earthen basket guard, a dazzling firework burst out with an incomparable loud sound, shaking the front of the fortress with gunsmoke and dust, Agnes felt that the whole town and the hills were trembling, she was really frightened at this time, covered her ears and screamed, and her shrugged shoulders were supported by Gawain from behind to prevent her from falling to the ground.

When she came back to her senses, the target platform where the emperor's portrait was originally located had been turned into powder, and even the stone wall of the small city behind it had been smashed into a deep pit, which was comparable to her large prani cannon, a black iron projectile with a slight flame, still swirling on the ground.
