"Canopy!"

A few more "training bombs" flew into the air, drew a perfect parabola, and landed on a makeshift range 1780 paces away - this time it was a little off! Several of the soldiers in charge of this stone machine were scolded by the Land Evil Tiger.

Chen Dexing, who was watching from the sidelines, had no joy or anger on his face, such a look was too normal. Because the stone machine is similar to a curved cannon, it is not a cannon that can be hit by aiming, there are too many aspects to consider and calculate, the greater the error will naturally be, and most of the artillery sergeants have no culture, and they cannot be compared with the professional artillery soldiers of later generations. If you hit, you have a good character, and if you don't hit, you play normally.

So the results of today's test firing on the side of the canal are not good, except for the first stone machine to make a good start, the next few stone machines are a little off!

"I'm afraid this won't work, it's already like this during training, and it's going to be a mistake in the actual combat quasi-insurance!" Chen Dexing shook his head, as if he was talking to himself, "You must make the operation simple, if it doesn't work, don't adjust the range......"

"No range?" Huang Zhishen, who was using a paper fan as a canopy on his forehead and looking into the distance, responded when he heard the words, "Then such a way to play?" ”

"Use fixed ammunition," Chen Dexing thought for a while, "and customize artillery shells of different weights according to the torque of each stone machine...... It is to put the dry iron cannon and the counterweight stone bullet in a cloth bag. ”

That's troublesome enough! Each stone machine must be debugged before going into battle, and then according to the results of the debugging, a special preparation of fixed ammunition is made.

"Isn't there only one range?" Huang Zhishen looked at Chen Dexing with a surprised expression and said, "How many shots can you make like this?" The North Captives are not going to stand still and let us fight. ”

"Just one shot, one salvo!" Chen Dexing paused, "One hammer deal...... That's all there is to it for now! ”

All stone-starting machines are equipped with only one type of fixed ammunition, and since the range of the stone-moving machine is adjusted by the bullet weight, the range of a fixed ammunition is naturally about the same. In other words, when the infantry and cavalry of the Northern Captives rushed through this range, the stone generators of the artillery army had no effect.

"Is it really a one-shot deal? If you don't get ......" Huang Zhishen hurriedly reminded that he was now sent to do military affairs in the Senate, and he was actually Chen Dexing's chief staff officer, and he would be appointed if he had suggestions. "If you don't win, you can only stare dryly!"

"One hundred and twenty steps...... Must start hit! Chen Dexing accentuated his tone, "This method is the simplest, if it doesn't work, the artillery army will be a waste egg!" ”

Indeed, with this method, the artillery army only needs to pay attention to four points on the battlefield, one is to find the right plane; the second is to measure the distance; the third is to aim at the target; Fourth, calculate the wind direction and wind speed...... Among them, the first and third points are basically not difficult, and the second and fourth points, Chen Dexing can do it himself. He is a senior seafarer who has been on the ship for more than ten years, and it is impossible for him to travel on business trips for ranging and wind measurement. And you can also test shoot it in advance to minimize the possibility of error.

"But how many Northern captives can be killed in a salvo?" Huang Zhishen silently calculated, "If there are 70 stone machines on the field, each fixed ammunition includes four iron cannons, that is, 280 iron cannons...... I don't know if I can kill 300 people? ”

Two hundred and eighty iron cannons killed 300 people...... Actually, it's a lot worse! The gunpowder of the Southern Song Dynasty filled in these cannons is so powerful, if you modify the high explosives of later generations, one-tenth or twenty-eight will completely blow up an infantry phalanx of 2,000 people!

"Gunpowder is the key! What about Taoist priests? Is the Taoist priest coming? Chen Dexing shouted twice, only to see Ren Yijiang and Taoist priests running over out of breath. Taoist priest, are you ready for the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal you have prepared? Have both sulfur and saltpeter been refined? ”

The method of purifying sulfur and saltpeter is not too complicated, Chen Dexing knew some principles in his previous life, but he did not actually operate it - maybe he did it when he was in school, but he didn't remember it for a long time - fortunately, the Taoist priests of the Shenxiao School played with gunpowder, so they would naturally use the soil method to purify sulfur and earth nitrate (in fact, Guo Fuer's pharmacy can also do this). Therefore, Chen Dexing handed over the work of preparing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal to Daoist Ren, and arranged for a temporary dispatch to him who was doing gunpowder for official business.

"It's all already refined." Daoist Ren patted his chest and smiled, and then said mysteriously, "Qingzhi, this Daoist just got a secret recipe from Lao Dao (Daoist's father)...... But we have the secret of the Divine Thunder Method! ”

According to legend, gunpowder was invented by Taoist priests, and the Shenxiao sect is a Taoist sect that fools people with thunder methods, so naturally there is a secret recipe for gunpowder that is not spread outside.

"The gunpowder formula should be prepared according to nitrate 75, sulfur 12, and charcoal 13." Chen Dexing didn't talk nonsense with Daoist Ren, and he didn't want to inquire about the secret recipe of the Shenxiao Thunder Method, so he saw that there was no one else, so he directly gave a ** that was closest to the best formula of the theory. "Daoist, you first prepare the materials that can be configured with 200 catties of gunpowder according to this recipe, and then prepare a secluded workshop, don't do it yourself first, wait for me to come and do it together."

"Uh......"

"This is a military order!" Chen Dexing accentuated his tone again, and said, "In addition, this recipe is only known to the three of us, and the fourth person cannot be allowed to know, Daoist, you go and prepare it yourself!" Don't fake someone else, you know? ”

Huang Zhishen and Ren Yijiang glanced at each other, and at the same time crossed their hands and replied loudly: "No! ”

……

"It's really like throwing rocks away...... This Chen Qingzhi really has some skills, but his temper is too stinky...... Xianggong, with this militaristic weapon, this battle will be a great victory, and the next official will congratulate Xianggong! ”

Xia Gui, who was watching the artillery army's test firing from a distance on the upper floor of Dongguan City in Yangzhou, turned around and congratulated Jia Ru beside him with a smile. The traitor pinched his beard, and he also had an expression of victory. Although Chen Dexing was not very satisfied with the stone machine he designed and supervised, Jia Rudao was already overjoyed!

As a traitor of the Overseer for more than ten years, how could he not know that the good things reported below could be believed at most, and the bad things should be at least doubled? This time, Chen Dexing was able to complete the task of building a stone machine without discount, which was definitely a big surprise to him.

Of course, there are more good things than this, tonight, the demon girl has an appointment to visit the Fusi Yamen. Needless to say, it must be discussed how to kill Liu Gan.

"With peace, can the Huaiyin Water Army still fight?" Jia Rudao stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Can you still fight in the summer night?" ”

Xia Ye Eye is Xia Gui's nickname, as the name suggests, Lao Xia had good eyes when he was young, not only could he see far away during the day, but he could also see clearly at night, so when he was young, he often led troops to night raids, and he made some contributions.

"How can you not fight?" Xia Gui touched his chin, "Xianggong, do you want the last general to lead the troops to the meeting and Liu Gan?" ”

Jia Rudao nodded, "I want you to fight, but not in Yangzhou, but in Huaishui, after Chen Dexing builds a stone machine, he will allocate 200 planes to the Huaiyin Water Army, and you will lead 5,000 people from Yangzhou to the north to block the retreat of Liugan." ”

Xia Gui was stunned: "Blocking Liu Gan's retreat?" Messire...... The Huai River can grow! The Huaiyin Navy is only 5,000 people, and the soldiers and horses brought by a certain family from Yangzhou are only 10,000, how can they be blocked? ”

Jia Rudao just laughed, "Use and, do it, and when the time comes, I will tell you where you should go!" ”
