In the Taiyuan City Mansion, Xiao Fenghe looked at the ranks present, with a serious face: "We must destroy that giant cannon!"

There is no way, the power of that giant cannon is really amazing, and it completely destroys the entire city wall with just one shot, which is already comparable to the full force of the Earth Immortal powerhouse, completely subverting the entire war scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the palace, the atmosphere is still solemn.

The dozens of people in the room were silent, all frowning, thinking about how they could destroy the cannon that could destroy the walls.

Looking at the sad faces of the group, Zhao Zhi sighed in his heart, and immediately raised his head and said, "It's too far, that giant cannon is six miles away from Taiyuan City, and the tiger squat cannon in our hands alone can't destroy it at all." The pressure on him was so great that he felt like he was carrying a stone tablet on his back, and he almost shrank back.

"If it's a range, the Tiger Squat Cannon may not work, but the Capture Cannon may not!" Shaking his head, Xiao Feng gave a few pieces of information to everyone and said: "This is the Capture Cannon that has just been developed today, and the range is ten miles away." Of course, its power is slightly stronger than that of the Tiger Squat Cannon, far less powerful than the other party's huge and terrifying. ”

Although it was a tiger squat cannon that could be used by a single soldier, Xiao Feng had always ordered the development of this kind of artillery that could be used against distant targets in consideration of the situation against the city guards.

Of course, the Krup cannon is not a simple enlargement of the Tiger Squat Cannon, just to solve the problems such as air raids and bee eyes when casting molds, I don't know how much time it takes, and in order to expand the production efficiency of the artillery, it is a considerable exploration.

For example, they used traditional clay molds to make artillery, and this clay mold not only takes a long time to manufacture, in order to ensure drying, it needs to be dried for at least a month, and the cannon made by the clay mold will have bee eyes on it, so that the cannon will easily explode, and the artillery made for the clay mold is usually very thick-walled, which is why the weight of the old Tiger Squat Cannon is more than double that of the new Tiger Squat Cannon under the same power.

It wasn't until the iron mold casting was adopted that those new tiger squat cannons were manufactured, and crossbows such as the Divine Arm Crossbow were officially eliminated and became the standard weapons in the Red Phoenix Army.

As for this captival cannon, it was even more troublesome, because Xiao Feng required that while having sufficient range, it must also reduce its mass to the maximum, so that the army could maneuver with this weapon of war, so the Iron Smelting Institute had to continue to research.

To this end, they adopted the hydraulic forging hammer, which increased its toughness through repeated forging of the required manufacturing by the hydraulic forging hammer, so as to make it more tight and able to withstand more gunpowder power, and after a considerable amount of effort and time, these three kruppers were made!

And Xiao Feng waited for these three captives to this Taiyuan City, so as to borrow their powerful power to completely deter the Mongolian cavalry.

But what she didn't expect was that the Mongolian army actually made such a huge cannon specially used for siege in advance of her, and it seemed that the power was even more amazing than this captive cannon, and it could directly destroy the city wall of a military town such as Taiyuan City, and its power was really terrifying!

Zhao Zhi was pleasantly surprised, and asked loudly: "Since this is the case, why haven't you used it?"

"Although this artillery is powerful, there are only three of them, and it cannot form an effective strike range. Moreover, the other party sent heavy troops to guard it, and if it was used easily, it was afraid that the other party would know about it, but it would transfer the huge cannon. Therefore, he didn't act on his own!" Xiao Feng said slowly.

Zhao Zhi was unwilling, and asked again: "Why don't we send troops to break into the enemy army and blow up the huge cannon?" As soon as he remembered the previous scene of Li Chang and the others' deaths, he felt heartbroken and just wanted to avenge them.

"If the other party shoots with a giant cannon, then wouldn't you automatically send it to the door? And that Shi Tianze is a general, even I can't win easily, and how important that giant cannon is, there will definitely be heavy guards, how can we get it so easily?" Xiao Feng snorted coldly, but didn't think about it.

At this moment, another person opened his mouth and said, "You can rest assured of this lord." Because according to my observations, the cannon must still be quite flawed. "This person is called Qin Yong, the eldest son of the Qin brothers, and has been accompanying the Qin brothers to learn the forging method of artillery, and after the cannon was manufactured, he was also transferred to take charge of the three cannons.

"Defects?" Zhao Zhi asked.

"That's right. Qin Yong bowed slightly, and immediately explained: "If I'm not mistaken, they should be cast in bronze, not iron like us!"

Zhao Zhi was puzzled: "Bronze, why is this?"

He knew why the Red Phoenix Army used iron instead of bronze, brass and other metal materials to cast cannons, because there was no copper mine in the base area, and if they wanted to cast cannons, they would have to melt a large amount of copper coins, which was not something that the financially constrained Red Phoenix Army could afford!

"The reason is simple, because bronze melts more easily and is tougher than steel, so it can withstand the impact of such a large dose of gunpowder, otherwise the cannon would not have had such an amazing range. Qin Yong continued to analyze, probably in order to be able to verify his calculations, he also took out a pen and paper on the table and began to write and draw: "According to the size of the other party, the giant cannon is at least 200,000 catties, and the krup cannon we made is only 2,000 catties. Because in order to ensure the firing range, the cannon body must be cast larger, otherwise it will not be able to shoot the huge projectile at all. But there is a problem with this, because the bronze is easy to melt, and under the burning of gunpowder, the bronze can easily melt due to the high temperature generated, and this will cause the cannon to deform and make it impossible to continue firing. ”

"So that's the case? No wonder the other party's giant cannon didn't continue to shoot after only firing twice, it turned out that it didn't work?"

If the cannon were to do it again, she would undoubtedly be caught up in it!

Hearing this data, Zhao Zhi smacked his tongue even more: "200,000 catties, this Mongolia is really rich!"

You must know that the money has always weighed only eight catties, which means that the Mongols spent more than 20,000 yuan in order to cast this huge cannon, which is enough to buy thousands of grains.

"That's right, if I'm right, it's not just the deformation of the cannon body, it's more likely that there are cracks in the cannon shaft. After all, with so much gunpowder, the artillery can't easily withstand it!" Qin Yong nodded and continued: "If I'm not mistaken, it's impossible for the opponent's giant cannon to shell it in the near future. ”

Zhao Zhi was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately interjected: "Since this is the case, then we may be able to take the opportunity to sneak attack and completely extinguish the artillery?"

"Sneak attack?" If there was no threat from the giant cannon, Xiao Feng would not be afraid of that Shi Tianze, and the captival cannon had just been transported here, she also wanted to try the power of the giant cannon: "Then how should we sneak attack?"

With blood in his eyes, Zhao Zhi immediately replied: "Since we have the help of the Krup Cannon, then we may be able to act like this!" (To be continued.) )
