Chapter 58 There are traces of people in the starry night, and new ideas for firearms

It was night, overcast, and the stars were sparse, so it was a good time to sneak attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ropes fell from the otherwise peaceful city walls, and the soldiers fell to the ground with ropes attached.

There was no blood on the ground, as if the battle that had taken place during the day was just a dream, except for the occasional sight of the broken armor left on the ground, as well as the broken knives and bows and arrows, which were the weapons left behind by the Mongol cavalry who had besieged the city.

They tried to capture Taiyuan City, but under Xiao Feng's protection, these people could only turn into ghosts.

The wind, whirring and whistling, makes people feel cold, as if the dead souls are haunting here.

"This weather, it's really cold!" Zhao Zhi tightened his clothes, the gray clothes were the most suitable for hiding his existence in this dark starry night, but he fell from Taiyuan City today not for these things, he had more important things to do.

Shaking his hand, Zhao Zhi whispered to the soldiers around him: "Hurry up and start acting, don't be discovered by others." ”

In the distance, the soldiers immediately gave a thumbs up, and immediately hung down with the tiger squat cannon and three captives on a rope, and the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, carefully caught these precious weapons, and then untied the ropes and began to pull them up. There were probably more than 500 of them, not too many but not too little, and the reason why they came here in this starry night was precisely to carry out the mission of destroying the giant cannon.

If the giant cannon is allowed to exist, then there will be no peace in Taiyuan City.

So they had to destroy the cannon!

In order to avoid the eyes of the other party, this time they deliberately chose the side door to avoid the other party's sight, and planned to approach the place where the opponent's base camp was located from the eastern side of the mountain.

It's rugged and bumpy, and even if you encounter an enemy attack, you can retreat safely and make sure that a few people are safe!

Without speaking, the group immediately put the tiger squat cannon aside in the cart that had been prepared, and a few people led a few horses to pull the cart with the tiger squat cannon and the captival cannon towards the front, so as not to make a sound, the hooves of these horses had already been wrapped in sackcloth, and the mouth was also plugged with a gourd mouth drilled out, so as not to make any noise.

"Crunch", only the sound of a wide wheel crashing against a stone, but nothing else.

There were no cicadas or frogs, and in this cold winter, they had already gone into hibernation, and all that was left was the cold wind that was still howling.

The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, and every time it swept over the face, it made people feel the cold and biting chill.

In Taiyuan City, those soldiers had already eaten and drunk enough and began to rest, ready for the next war. And in their rooms, the stoves are releasing the temperature, these stoves made by Xiao Feng in the shade town are made by Xiao Feng's order, and they are filled with mined coal, they are now being swallowed by the rising furnace fire, releasing the heat contained in them, warming the bodies of every warrior.

After all, this year's winter is too cold, and if there is no stove for heating, the average person will definitely freeze to death here!

Zhao Zhi and the others disappeared from this warm room, they were wrapped in three layers of clothes, and the middle was also stuffed with straw, although the dry straw was very prickly, but at least it could play a role in heat preservation, which could better help the body resist the cold.

But the howling cold wind was still sharp, piercing through their clothes and striking their skin, making their tanned skin a pimple.

The wind is still howling, they are still walking, the target is the cannon, and everything is going on as usual!

"Urban, hasn't this cannon been repaired yet?"

Glancing over the cracked cannon body, Zhong Wei felt a little annoyed.

During the day, after he saw that the city wall was destroyed by this huge cannon, his whole person was excited, but when the smoke and dust disappeared, he saw that the city wall continued to stand, and he knew that it must be Xiao Feng's ghost.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with this cannon, otherwise he will definitely have another shot!

Urban shook his head and looked pensive: "No way, there is too much gunpowder to be filled, and the bronze can't support it at all." If we continue to fire it, the cannon will explode completely, and we will probably be caught up in it, let alone shoot the shell. ”

"When will it be repaired?" and looking at the cracks in the cannon body, Zhong Wei shook his head helplessly.

The crack is still small enough to stick the tip of the knife into it, and only one or two may be ignored, but if every part is covered with cracks, then there is a problem.

If it was a perfect work of art when it was intact before, but now it is clearly a bronze wine cup full of cracks, and it can't hold water at all.

In pursuit of power and range, they made the cannon so large that it would take sixteen pack horses to pull it even for transportation.

Taking the hot oil prepared on one side, Urban poured the barrel of hot oil on the whole barrel of the gun, and the sweet sesame oil entered the crack like this, and then soaked the entire gun body in it, while he carefully observed the situation of these cracks, and concentrated on not letting go of the slightest defect: "It depends." If it's fast, maybe tomorrow will be fine, but if it's too slow, it's probably going to be two days later. ”

"That's good, call me when you're done. When the time comes, let's teach that hateful Han a lesson!" Zhong Wei immediately walked outside, he also needed to inspect the surrounding environment, so as not to have an enemy sneak attack, but his mouth was a little annoyed: "It seems that the artillery made in the future should be smaller, so that not only can we avoid the lack of fire assistance after the destruction of a cannon, but also the smaller artillery is also easy to repair, and this kind of thing will not happen." ”

In his original plan, he was going to make a tiger squat cannon that was exactly the same as that in Xiao Feng's army, but this idea was abandoned after careful consideration of the Mongol army, and he began to develop the giant cannon in front of him, as well as the hand cannon used by those cavalrymen.

Cannons can be used to destroy the mighty walls built by the Han Chinese, while hand cannons can shoot the brave soldiers!

After all, the tiger cannon was too big for cavalry to use even on horses, and it was too small to destroy the strong walls and effectively kill the warriors behind.

Each weapon needed to be in line with the actual situation of his army, and it was for this reason that Zhong Wei took the initiative to shrink the tiger cannon to the point that even one person could hold it, this is the hand cannon, and then enlarge it enough to destroy the walls of a city.

The cities of those Han people were too strong to be able to fight against the Mongol cavalry, and it was precisely because of this that Zhong Wei urgently needed a huge cannon to destroy the city wall and completely disintegrate the fighting will of the Southern Song Dynasty army and people!

If it is limited to the Red Phoenix Army in front of you, it is the light of the mouse's eyes.

The combination of the two is exactly the best way he envisioned a match. (To be continued.) )
