With the vigorous development of gunpowder and gunpowder-related weapons, more and more experimental artillery and test samples of muskets proposed by Sun Lin and all the concepts of sunset craftsmen have been developed, in addition to this, some weapons related to gunpowder have also been developed, and this includes the dark sphere that the griffon knight is equipped with today - the early throwing bomb, of course, this kind of thing was developed because people were made when developing flowering bombs.

It is said that at the beginning, two craftsmen who cast the sound of artillery cannons had an idea in their hearts after understanding the power of black powder: since black powder can cause extremely terrifying damage to the surrounding area after exploding, and the cannon can shoot huge black iron balls out of the cannon, can the cannon shoot the ignited black powder out of the gun?

Under the guidance of this idea, these two craftsmen made a black head ball of the same size according to the size of the black iron ball in their free time, but the middle part was indeed hollowed out, and put a large amount of black powder inside the iron ball, of course, in order to ignite the black powder inside, the two craftsmen thought of a way: that is, to use the gum that can be collected everywhere in the forests of the New Delhi Peninsula to smear the hemp rope, and then drill a hole in the surface of the original black iron ball to stick the hemp rope to the edge of the hole. All you have to do is light the hemp rope of the black iron ball and quickly throw it into the barrel of the cannon, and then use the barrel to fire it out of the cannon.

The above is just the idea of these two craftsmen who never set the sun, and it turns out that this method is simply a stupid approach: first, the person who places the cannonball cannot guarantee when the cannonball will explode, and secondly, the principle that the artillery can produce the cannonball out of the cannon is to compress the power of the cannon explosion and concentrate it on one point of explosion, and then borrow this explosive force to fly the cannonball out of the cannonball, so this explosive force has an attached spark.

As for the current production process, it has not yet reached the level of the original world, and the sun does not set on the great empire. It is already very strong to drill a hole in the black iron ball without affecting the shape of the black iron ball, and it is impossible to completely combine the size of the hole drilled into the hole with the hemp rope stuffed into the hole, in this case, if the shell is not properly placed and the spark just happens to drill into the hole, then the artillery ready to fire explosive bombs has only one ending: explode!

The two Sunset craftsmen who were found to have blown up three cannon barrels were eventually criticized by their superiors and punished for being demoted to produce shells. It happened to be the workshop that produced the asphalt clay pots, and the two craftsmen who never set on the sun were also inspired by the asphalt clay pots, and instead of seeking to create more and more cannonballs with black powder inside, they cast them into oval shapes and greatly reduced the volume of these improved versions, thus creating the first grenade in the history of the great empire on which the sun never sets. And it is also the armor fragmentation grenade of the two major grenade high-explosive shells and armor fragmentation shells in later generations.

Although due to material problems, this early grenade was not only much heavier than later grenades. And the time of the explosion cannot be determined. Just like the early grenades of the Primordial Realm, the infantry exploded in their hands before they could throw the grenades. And this is also Sun Lin himself, after learning that the first model of grenade was manufactured, he initially put it into use in the army after hiding it in the snow and waiting for the improved version to come out, but when Sun Lin saw the figure of the griffin knights, he dispelled this idea.

Although the time of the explosion of the No. 1 grenade cannot be determined, because it has a 10-centimeter-long hemp rope, it is even if the No. 1 grenade explodes early. The 10-centimeter-long hemp rope will only explode after a few seconds of burning to the end of the thread, and the griffon knight in the air only needs to use the fire fold in his hand to ignite the end of the thread and let it fall vertically like an asphalt clay pot, and it doesn't matter if it explodes in mid-air, because the pieces of iron that spread out after the explosion are also very likely to hurt others. And most importantly, this operation takes less than 2 seconds, and the range of damage caused by the rapidly falling grenade in the 3rd second will be far away from the griffin knight, so the griffin knight does not need to use the grenade like the grenadiers of the original world to ignite the grenade, and then need to pose and aim and throw it with his hand.

So soon Sun Lin ordered the Sunset Military Factory to process and manufacture a batch of No. 1 grenades and equip them with the griffin knights, so that they can use these grenades instead of asphalt clay pots, not to mention other reactions to this situation, the griffin knights' own reaction is very agreeable to this, because these iron goods are not the crisp shell goods of asphalt clay pots, although the weight is a little bit but it is not a big problem, the most important thing is that these iron goods are safe at least at the beginning after being ignited, Unlike asphalt clay pots, when lit, be careful if the Greek fire inside the pot will burn out and get on yourself.

"Start throwing." After gesturing to each other, the griffon knights suddenly swooped down from high altitude before the Mordan crossbowmen could react, and then ignited the number one grenade in their hands and threw it.

Looking at these black iron balls falling from the sky, the Mordan crossbowmen instinctively wanted to run away, but because the number of drops at one time was more than 6,000, and because the Mordan soldiers themselves had been shrinking the front on the top of the mountain, even if the Mordan soldiers on the top of the mountain ran away for less than a second, they would fall because they turned to their comrades who were running towards them, and the pain of being pierced by the arrows made all the Mordan people affected by the No. 1 grenade lose consciousness and can no longer stand up.

However, although these Mordans did not know what was happening in the road, the soldiers who watched the battle from afar and those who were not exploded by the grenade No. 1 could see what was happening: thousands of orange-red fire balls lit up on the top of the mountain, accompanied by the terrifying sound of explosions, the ruins of the falling walls and the blood mist gradually drifting, although the members of the Griffin Knights continued to throw grenades No. 1 at the top of the mountain, making the top of the mountain filled with gunsmoke and making the soldiers never set. Even the Mordan soldiers who were in the blast zone could not understand the situation, but both sides made the most correct response in a short time: in the panic, all the Mordans frantically ran down the hill along the only road leading to the bottom of the hill, while the soldiers who did not set on the sound of the explosion launched a full-scale attack on the town of Shekdor after receiving the signal.

If the Moldan people used the Moldan crossbow and trebuchet to attack the soldiers who were running towards the town of Shekdor, the army would still be broken after the end of this war, but the problem was that the former, who was armed with the Moldan crossbow, was frightened by the explosion, and could not pick up the Moldan crossbow that was abandoned on the ground for others to trample on to counterattack, and even if these Moldan soldiers could pick up the Moldan crossbow and counterattack, Because of the smoke on the top of the mountain, they can't inflict a more accurate blow on the advancing soldiers who don't set the sun, and as for the more powerful latter, how can the operator escape down the mountain if he is either killed or killed?

"Means, Your Excellency, Commander. This is? Looking at the changes on the top of the mountain, all the commanders of the Sunset Legion who were watching the battle in the rear turned their eyes to George, and George himself explained with a slight smile: "Since the town of Shekdor is extremely important in a strategic sense, when I led the army to decide to attack the town of Shekdor, I used the war eagle to inform Sun Linmian of the predicament that our army had to face before, and after receiving my distress letter, Sun Linmian immediately decided to let the First Legion of the Gryphon Knights temporarily go to the Moldan Kingdom to provide air assistance to our army. ”

"It turns out that the commander had all the counterweight trebuchets throw at him in order to confuse the Mordans so that the Griffon Knights could raid them! Your Excellency Commander is truly wise. When the legion commanders learned of the situation, they immediately put on a flattering look on their faces and praised them.

George, who was praised for it, continued after being very happy to accept all the sycophants: "Not only that, but the actual purpose of my letting the counterweight trebuchet strike at the town of Shekdor is 3 points, and you just guessed a little, as for the second point, you have also seen, if it wasn't for the counterweight trebuchet to destroy the wooden wall so hard before, how could there be a situation where our army on foot would have been driven straight into it like this?" As for the third day, you think, if I hadn't kept the counterweight trebuchets throwing stones at the outskirts of Shekdor, how could those Mordan soldiers have obediently stayed on top of the hill and let the cavalry troops arrive when the sun is not down? ”

"I see......... By the way, Your Excellency Commander, what are those griffon knights throwing, I remember when the griffon knights struck the ground before, weren't they all pitched clay pots? Although the griffon knights now throw very similar to the Pitch Clay Pots, I remember how loudly the Pitch Pots don't make a loud noise when they fall to the ground. ”

"Hehe, you know that the purpose of our army is to occupy the town of Shekdor rather than destroy it, and it is very likely that the use of asphalt clay pots will burn this important military town at the same time as burning these Mordan soldiers, so His Majesty Sun Lin Mian has equipped the griffin knights of the First Empty Cavalry Regiment with a number one grenade with a power similar to that of an asphalt clay pot, but it will not sputter flames."
