??Chapter 178 The two armies are fighting! General Wei Qing’s mistake

??A wooden stick with an iron knot tied to it. As long as the fuse is lit and thrown out, it can cause damage to the enemy.

??Such a hot weapon!

??There should be nothing easier to produce than it, right?

??After Huo Guang inspected it for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Unfortunately, you need to use fire to light the fuse first. You can't pull the fire directly, which is a bit troublesome!"

??In this era, when people made fire and cooked, they relied on concave gold-tin mirrors or wooden fires.

??The way a grenade can be ignited by pulling out the fuse is probably too much thought.

??Huo Guang didn’t expect them to be able to do it.

??If I have time in the future, I can research it myself.

??But that’s another story.

??Huo Guang put the grenade back into the box, and then asked the infantry leader who was transporting it: "Is that all?"

??The infantry commander smiled naively and replied: "Captain Huo, there are ten bigger things behind, all made of iron. They seem to be called cannons, I don't know very well."

??“Because it’s too heavy, it’s not that convenient to transport.”

??"It may take another two days to deliver those things."

??Hearing what the infantry commander said, Huo Guang smiled slightly. He knew he was talking about the flying thunder cannon, so he replied, "Thank you for your hard work."

??“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”

??The infantry commander shook his head quickly, handed over the things to Huo Guang's cavalry, and then went back to continue delivering supplies.

??For the Han Dynasty.

??No matter how crude a thermal weapon is, it is still a new thing.

??Huo Guang weighed the quantity in his hand and decided to transfer it to the cavalry school he was in charge of.

??no way.

??The soldiers of the Han Dynasty would definitely not be able to use the new weapons.

??Huo Guang can only teach cavalry in his own school first before it can be used by the entire army.

??After making a decision in your heart.

??Huo Guang called Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing and said, "Call you two over here. I want to teach you how to use the new weapons!"

??"promise."

??Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing went to call all their hussars over.

??Wait until everyone is gathered.

??Huo Guang distributed all the grenades that were delivered.

??I think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty brought this batch of weapons and only informed himself, and the unknown general must have been worried that the soldiers would not be able to use them!

??after all.

??The general will not use this type of new weapon.

??Wait until it is distributed.

Huo Guang then said: "Now, let me introduce you to the new weapon. Before introducing it, I would like to tell you that you should not pull the lead on this weapon randomly."

??"These things are only given to you temporarily and will be recycled later."

??"In order to prevent the war from suddenly starting, our captain is afraid that you will not be able to use it by then, so he decided to teach you first."

??“Watch!”

"As long as you put this weapon on a torch, light the fuse, and then throw it towards a place where enemies are densely populated, it will cause damage. It's very simple."

??Finished.

??Huo Guang then gave a demonstration and lit the fuse with fire.

??Just listen to the squeaking sound of the fuse being burned.

??Huo Guang threw it directly towards the deserted open space, and soon he heard an explosion.

??Although this grenade is simple and rough to make, it uses sufficient gunpowder and its shrapnel is made of iron, so it is still very powerful.

??It is even much more powerful than the hand grenades made in the border areas in later generations.

??The grenade explodes loudly!

??Although it's not like thunder from the sky, the sound is enough to scare the horses.

??For a while.

??The cavalry in the marching team hurriedly calmed down their horses.

??Huo Guang said to his subordinates at this time: "This is how we use the new weapons when we throw them out."

??"Let's talk about how to defend against this weapon. For example, this weapon was robbed by the Huns and then used by them to deal with us."

??“Although the chance of this happening is very small.”

??“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any!”

"At this time, if they throw weapons at us, the first thing to do is to find rocks, tree trunks and other hard obstacles to hide behind."

??“If it’s an open space.”

??"Then lie down as fast as possible, like me."

??The words fell.

??Huo Guang also demonstrated a lying down posture.

??at this time.

??Although these cavalrymen have seen the power of grenade explosions, it is obvious that they do not have a full understanding of its lethality.

??after all.

??It’s not a cannonball!

??It doesn’t have the kind of explosive power that is visually terrifying.

??Because grenades rely entirely on the lethality of shrapnel and have never been used in actual combat by the Han army. Therefore, it is naturally difficult for the ancients two thousand years ago to understand its terrifying lethality.

??There are even some cavalrymen who are eager to try it and want to throw a grenade themselves.

??However, after being scolded by Vice Colonel Lin Yaoqing.

??No one would dare to do this anymore.

??After the soldiers had almost played with the grenades, Huo Guang gave the order and said: "Uncle Yan Dub, go and bring people to take back this new weapon grenade."

??"promise."

??After Yan Xiao responded, he led his men to take back all the weapons.

??This kind of weapon.

??You can't let the soldiers carry it with them. If it's not done properly, it will all turn into a dud for them.

??after all.

??This grenade is poorly made and not waterproof.

??While recovering the grenade.

??General Wei Qing suddenly arrived with a team of troops. As a captain, Huo Guang could only go to greet him first.

??now.

??Wei Qing glanced at the hussars led by Huo Guang and asked: "What happened just now? How did it cause such a big movement, and they still say it was you, Colonel Huo, who did it?"

??Huo Guang immediately replied: "I'm telling you, General, that a batch of new weapons has arrived urgently from the imperial court."

??“Look.”

??"These are the weapons made from the gunpowder recipes presented to Your Majesty by your subordinates."

??After saying that, he asked someone to place the recovered box of grenades in front of the general.

??The general frowned slightly and said: "Is this it? Those craftsmen have already made it? Well, why don't you see the flying thunder cannon?"

?? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once left General Wei Qing with the craftsmen who forged flying thunder cannons. Naturally, he was no stranger to this new weapon.

??But because the general is anxious to come back and take control of the situation in South Camp!

??After the finished product came out, Wei Qing had already left the place where the blacksmiths gathered. Naturally, he had never seen its explosive power, so he didn't know how powerful it was.

??so.

??I don’t care too much about this new weapon.

??Huo Guang heard his uncle's question and replied: "The flying thunder cannon is a bit heavy. Even if it is sent urgently, it will take some time."
