It took only a few days for the traversers to get the most basic bomb bombs. In fact, the manufacture of bomb bombs is not that difficult. The technology of Da Meng Country can be realized long ago, but no one tried it. As for Western Europe, as early as around 1555, flowering bombs began to appear. With the craftsmen of this era, they could make them by hand in just a few days.

First, use iron to make a thick round iron shell. The round iron shell is divided into two hemispheres, the middle is empty. Fill it with gunpowder and nails, small iron balls, small iron pieces and other messy fillers. , And then pierce an iron pipe into it. The iron pipe is hollow with a fuze inside.

Just light the fuze first, and then throw the bomb into the enemy's army.

You don’t even need a specialized craftsman to make this kind of thing. Just find an ordinary folk blacksmith to make it easily. If you don’t pursue quality, you can do it quickly.

However, because the quality of the shells produced in a few days is not good, if it is shot out with a cannon, it is easy to explode directly in the barrel when the cannon fires, and instead kills own artillery, so the traverser We summed it up and decided not to use a cannon to fire a bomb, but instead to use a counterweight trebuchet to throw it out. Anyway, a counterweight trebuchet with modern mechanics is used. The stone is thrown more than 400 meters, and if you change it to throw a small iron ball, you can easily throw 500 meters to 1000 meters away.

"Boom boom boom boom"

The flower bomb exploded in the middle of the army formation of the Tartar soldiers, and the iron nails, small iron pieces, and small iron **** filled with gunpowder flew out in all directions. The shell of the shell was also broken and turned into shrapnel flying horizontally. In an instant, all over the sky are small hidden weapons with terrifying lethality.

The power of these small concealed weapons is too terrifying. They die when knocked and wounded by rubbing them. Moreover, the range of damage is huge. The shrapnel of a shell can cover a radius of tens of meters, and dozens of shells explode together, which is simply unreasonable.

In an instant, a large part of the Tartar army fell.

"I wipe it, what the **** is this?" Commander-in-chief Tanzi was watching the battle on the remote hillside. He saw this strange weapon and took away hundreds of soldiers in an instant. His expression changed greatly: "A trebuchet is not a stone thrower. Is it? Why throw this strange explosive?"

The Tartar Army was stumbling, and the casualties were heavy. It was obvious that they were here to scare the Da Meng Army, but they hadn't started the fight yet. They just walked halfway to demonstrate. They were hit by a long-range attack from this unknown weapon. Many soldiers discovered that they were actually scared by that horrible weapon...

Who is it that frightens him?

Unlike their dumbfoundedness, the soldiers in Nanjing cheered together, and their morale skyrocketed. Especially the craftsmen who participated in making this shell, the thieves are happy. They also didn't expect that such a simple technology could cause such a huge damage to Taroko, and they really didn't waste their own iron pot to make bullet shells!

"The emperor and the queen are the talents of heaven, who invented such a powerful weapon!" the craftsmen cheered.

"Hey, it was not invented by the emperor, it was obviously me." A boy jumped up and said, "It's me! Remember to write my name in the history books of the Great Meng Kingdom. Don’t let Lan Zijiang and Chen Huan **** it. This gave me the opportunity to stay in my history."

The aboriginal civil servants and generals next to him suddenly looked at him in astonishment, thinking: This person is so brave, how dare to compete with the emperor and queen? Even if this kind of thing was not invented by the emperor, everyone would assume that they invented it. Do you dare to compete with the emperor and the queen as a good opportunity to make a name for history? Why are you so ignorant of praise? You are dead, you are not only useless, but will be dragged down and chopped off by the emperor and queen who becomes angry and embarrassed.

The civil servants and military commanders were thinking of this, they heard Lan Zijiang smile: "You are you, the head office you invented, right. Where is the historian? Where is the historian? Remember it clearly, you must remember his name here, don’t be blind. Remember me and Chen Huan."

Civil servants and generals: "..."

Chapter 545 Artillery Position

Drinking water is choked, shit, add one more for your stupid self!

While everyone was talking about the eggs, the catapult was loaded and the second round of tossing began again. Dozens of black blooming bombs were once again thrown into the Tartar army, as a loud noise passed, The corpses of the Tartar army were all over the field, morale was frustrated, and there was no way to deal with this terrifying weapon for a while.

In this wave of operations, Tanzi originally came to Nanjing to demonstrate and wanted to scare the soldiers and civilians into surrender, but he scared himself instead.

Seeing the Tatar army temporarily retreat, the soldiers and civilians in the city were finally relieved. When the Tatar army just appeared, many people trembled with fright, but now they suddenly began to tremble: "Hahaha, it turns out that the world The invincible Tartar Army can't catch the dozens of big iron **** we throw out."

"Our new weapon works!"

"Under the wise leadership of the emperor and queen, we can defend Nanjing."

"We will definitely win."

The morale of Nanjing City was greatly boosted.

However, unlike ordinary people, the generals still maintained a nervous mood, because they knew that Tarzi was not so easy to deal with. For decades, when the last Qi’s army had just exchanged fire with Tarzi at the Battle of Salhu, they also Once relied on firearms to beat Tarzi with his head, but Tarzi was not afraid of death, and was good at learning and catching fighters. Finally, they used the trolley to block bullets, used the cavalry's mobile force to catch firearms and fired the interval, and used the treacherous. The spirit of death came to the firearm array and rushed to the Qi family army to run out of ammunition. Eventually, the Qi family army, which was almost invincible, was also defeated from the time when the Japanese pirates rebelled.

Huang Degong walked to Chen Huan and said in a low voice: "Da Zi is not so easy to admit counsel, so if you need to prevent them, they will immediately regroup and counterattack."

"I understand." Chen Huan said with a smile: "Not only I understand, but the classmates around me understand. They are not fools who don't understand anything."

Huang Degong turned her head to look, and saw that Rita was reorganizing the trebuchet unit. Although the Tartar army had retreated, Rita did not relax. She was asking the craftsmen to use this time to quickly check the trebuchets and these counterweights. The trebuchets are all made temporarily, and there is no standardization of shape machines or production lines in this era. They are all hand-made instruments by craftsmen. The parts of these trebuchets are not completely compatible. After two consecutive rounds, the connection has appeared. The problem is that several trebuchets with relatively poor workmanship are already going to fall apart.

Rita also noticed this and called the craftsmen to repair them urgently, so they must be repaired before the next wave of offensive in Tarzi.

Huang Degong was surprised, where did these people come from? I’ve never heard of such a group of people around the emperor who suddenly appeared, and then, one by one, they behaved very well. The two women who assassinated Gao Jie were no longer as powerful as people. The woman who commanded the trebuchet department, though She hasn't done much yet, but looking at her calm performance on the battlefield, she knows that she is a battlefield veteran... He's meow, where did she fight before?

Of course, what Huang Degong can't see the most is standing not far behind Chen Huan, a woman with white clothes and white hair, like a snow lotus on an iceberg. Hearing others call her Long Aoxue, she looks like the leader of this group of people. , But she almost never speaks, never directs, only stand up to help Chen Huanzha when Chen Huan is not instructing other classmates. The strangest thing is that she obviously didn’t do anything, but she just made you feel She is the leader! Everyone was revolving around her, the sun, moon and stars were revolving around her, the gods and Buddhas seemed to revolve around her, and the laws of the world revolved around her.

When the trebuchet unit of the Dameng Army was completed, the post-Tatar army also arrived. They actually launched dozens of cannons. It turns out that the Tartars at this time are not barbarians anymore. They have also begun to come into contact with civilization and use Civilization, cannons, and such things, they have a huge number of them. As early as the Battle of Songshan decades ago, Tanzi began to use red cannons to attack the city in large numbers, and there are many records of the walls of the Dameng army being blasted down.

In 1642 of the Dameng calendar, Tarzi attacked Tashan City in Dameng Kingdom. They lined up dozens of red cannons in the west of Tashan City. They bombarded the city wall with a 20-foot-wide gap. The Tarzan cavalry swarmed. And enter, the city is broken.

This time, Tarzi was obviously prepared early. They also knew that Nanjing City was one of the two capitals of the Great Meng Country. This city was not easy to attack, so they also adjusted a large number of red cannons. There are more cannons in the city.

When Huang Degong saw a large number of cannons in the distance began to be erected, his heart began to become nervous again.

Tarzi's cannon was also arrogantly erected directly on a small hill about two miles outside the east city.

This distance is far enough for the trebuchet to cast this far.

Although their red cannons are smoothbore guns, they have no accuracy and can only fly randomly, but they don't need to have any precision, because they want to fight a city, how hot is the city, and are afraid that it will not be able to hit the air? Anyway, the volley of artillery fired continuously for a few hours. Even if half of the artillery shells fly, many of them will hit the city wall of Nanjing. As long as the city wall is blasted through a gap, the world’s invincible Tartar cavalry will be there. You can rush in and kill all the people in the city like pigs and dogs.

Of course, they also know that there are cannons in Nanjing, but the cannons in Nanjing are smoothbore guns just like them, and the shells are not accurate. They can easily hit the wall because the wall has a big target, but the cannons in the city can't hit them because they have a small target.

They know that their field capability is stronger than that of Dameng, so they are not afraid that Dameng’s army will come out of the city to assault this artillery position. It is better to say that if Dameng’s army wants to come out and attack the artillery position, they are not afraid of them coming. , I'm afraid they won't come.

However, there is something they don't know, that is, their enemy's cannon is not a smoothbore gun at all.

Just as the Tarts began to set up artillery positions, Rita stood in the artillery position on the head of Nanjing City and shouted loudly: "Start aiming, target the small hills two miles east of the city, the Tartar Army artillery positions..."

Thirty-two red cannons turned their muzzles around.

The female assassin has also become an artillery under Rita’s. She is responsible for adjusting the muzzle and instructing the artillery who have not used the rifled gun to aim nearby: "Please pay attention, this type of gun has a high accuracy, don’t let it go. Random aiming, the cannonball will not fly randomly, it will accurately fall to the position of the front sight and the sight, with only a little deviation."

The five hundred and forty-sixth chapter on the boom

9 pm, regular update

-----

The Tartars worked hard to set up forty cannons!

It is not easy to set up these cannons. The weight of the red cannons is basically more than two tons. In this era when there are no heavy-duty trucks, two-ton heavy cannons are difficult to carry. Forty cannons are 80. Tons, it took countless oxpower, horsepower, and manpower to put the artillery in position.

The Tartars sweated profusely, but looking at the beautifully arranged artillery positions, they felt that their hard work was worthwhile. In a while, forty cannons shot at Nanjing City, what a beautiful scenery it would be, ah ah Ah, I can't wait to see the trembling appearance of Nanjing City from the bombardment.

A General Tarzi walked into the artillery position, stood still, and shouted: "From now on, the city of Nanjing will be bombarded in turn, day and night, until the city wall of Nanjing is collapsed for me."

The artillery replied in unison: "Yes!"

They dispersed with a bang. Every five people form a team. Each team is responsible for one cannon. Forty cannons start to fill the ammunition together, raise the muzzle and fix it with a stone platform. Everyone is busy sweating profusely. , But they know that when they gain combat merit in a while, they will feel that all the hard work they have now is worthwhile.

However, they were loading ammunition. Before they had time to fire, they heard the first sound of bombardment from the city of Nanjing, and then they saw the black shells flying into the sky, and "Biu" was heard in the air. The sound of flying cannonballs.

They had expected the artillery in Nanjing to fire first, because the artillery on the head of the city had been set up in advance, and it must have fired before their temporary artillery position, but who cares? At a distance of two miles away, it is impossible for a cannon to hit a human-sized target.

Tarzi’s artillery even wanted to stand up and say: “I’m standing here, let you shoot ten shots, and see if you can hit it.”
