If you think about it, the fastest on the battlefield today is the cavalry, but when it is ten miles away, even the fastest cavalry cannot arrive in an instant. And this killing weapon can kill enemy soldiers ten miles away, so this battle is still
How to fight! I'm afraid that these ten miles are the road to hell. If you rush to the front of the formation, you won't have much left. How can you defeat an opponent who is waiting for work?
"But it's not without its weaknesses." Jiang Pu sighed, feeling very sad that it had a fly in the ointment.
Of course Li Luo and others could see the shortcomings of this artifact. The rifling alone was more than ten feet long. In addition, the sunken tower base was three or four people high. It was extremely large and inconvenient to rotate and move. It could kill people.
The enemy is far away, but if the enemy comes close, it is just a pile of scrap metal and is of little use.
"Can't you press the wheel?" Hucha Dongchan muttered.
"This subordinate has also considered it, and they have also tried it. The gunpowder is too powerful. If the wheels are pressed, it will be much easier to move, but the accuracy will be worse. If it is slightly unstable, it may be moved several miles.
, let alone kill the enemy, thank God for not accidentally injuring the brothers in his own camp." Jiang Pu sighed, and the excitement just now dimmed, "and you can only fire three firearms at a time, and the rifling will be horribly hot.
If you don’t use ice water to cool down, you can’t use it, and it will ruin the rifling.”
"Push a wheel and add a few more legs, and you can stand firm." Hucha Dongchan muttered casually, but she didn't take it to heart, but the speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. Jiang Pu and the onlookers looked at each other.
Bright, each other's eyes were glowing green, they all looked at Hucha Dongchan, startled her, jumped two steps away, and shouted, "What are you going to do!?"
Jiang Pu retracted his chilling gaze and looked at a man in the crowd who was over fifty years old. He was actually wearing a single garment that had turned white during the cold moon season. His face was a little dusty, but his eyes were very bright, "Princess Princess's."
idea……"
"You can give it a try." The half-hundred men nodded, stretched out their fingers to pinch and calculate, and turned around to leave without even saying hello to Li Luo.
A light flashed in Li Luo's eyes. He was thinking about another thing. Although this object has limited damage to agile cavalry and the like, if the opponent is a dull and sluggish White Walker, that's another story. As long as the accuracy is good enough, the White Walker will cause trouble.
A target for killing.
"How powerful is it?"
Jiang Pu's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and said: "General, this is all thanks to Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan?" Jiang Pu roared, and someone in the crowd replied, "I'm going to bed. I guess I can't wait until after noon."
Wake up." It is Shenshi now, and it is not past noon today. The implication is that he must sleep for at least a day and a night. If it were anyone else, they would probably send someone to wake him up to see Li Luo, but Jiang Pu just said "oh" when he heard this
, and said, "Let him sleep." After saying that, he turned to look at Li Luo, hesitated slightly, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "General, what did you say?"
"Let him sleep..." someone from behind reminded him in a low voice.
Jiang Pu's face darkened. Do you really think I'm stupid? Is this what I'm talking about? Li Luo and others couldn't help but laugh. They called Dong Chan and said with a sweet smile: "Speaking of power."
"Yes, yes, yes, look at your memory. Xiaochuan made a very powerful firearm at the beginning of the year. It is this big." Jiang Pu gestured. It was about a foot in diameter. It was indeed larger than ordinary thunder and fire bombs or Juyingjingyan.
The screams and thunder were much louder, "After being triggered, it has the power to break up mountains and crack the soil, but it is not easy to detonate. Using fuses is a bit overkill. It can only be used as a tool to open mountains and build roads. Although it can explode with a strong impact, it will not explode."
It's hard to control the force, so later Mountain Monkey came up with a way to mix some solid yellow into the firearm. As long as the force exceeds half an ox, it will definitely explode."
"How many enemies can be killed?"
"It was measured, five feet. This is the original one. Ogawa changed it again. I haven't tried the new one yet, but according to his estimation it should be around eight feet."
Song Wuque's eyes tightened slightly, killing eight feet. It could no longer be regarded as a sneak attack. Even if it was fair and aboveboard, he would not be able to dodge even if he wanted to.
"What's the force like after it explodes?"
"It can penetrate two layers of cowhide at the very edge. If a person touches it, even if he cannot die, he will have no fighting power."
Li Luo nodded, and now there was only one last problem left. Jiang Pu touched the black and somewhat ugly behemoth beside him and said: "The most difficult thing now is how to send it to where it should go. Is it strong enough?"
, but the accuracy is not enough. Originally, if the bore was smaller, the accuracy would be better, but there is a risk of exploding the chamber. If you want to use it now, you can only give up your martial arts skills and just hope that the lethality of the firearm will be improved to a higher level. It is accurate.
We’ll figure it out later.”
"How much does it cost?"
"In exchange for our Da Gan's silver, each one is almost fifty thousand taels, and you have to factor in the cost of training in the future. It will only be more expensive."
Li Luo's eyelids jumped, it looked scary, but he didn't know that the cost of building one was also very scary. In the past, people and the art of war were the key to fighting on the battlefield. If this continues, if we fight on the battlefield again in the future, it will be a battle to see who has more money.
"Do you have a name?"
"Ogawa named his firearm the Fire Dragon Bullet. Let's just call it the Fire Dragon Cannon. How about the General correct the name?"
"No, let's call it the Fire Dragon Cannon. As for the accuracy, Mr. Jiang needs to pay more attention. If this thing can be driven like an arm, the chance of victory will be much greater."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Jiang Pu responded respectfully. Li Luo gave him a cryptic look, and Jiang Pu understood. He calmly ordered everyone to work together, think of a way, and loudly asked Li Luo to take the account.
The soldiers in the Shu Camp just thought it was Jiang Pu who wanted to report military affairs to Li Luo, and they didn't pay attention. They said goodbye to Li Luo, and in the blink of an eye they started arguing around the fire dragon cannon.
Jiang Pu led Li Luo and others quickly into his tent. After entering the tent, he turned around and looked at Li Luo without saying anything. Everyone was confused, but Li Luo understood what Jiang Pu didn't say and said harmoniously.
: "As of now, there is no doubt."
Jiang Pu nodded and whispered: "General, Princess, you guys follow me, this way." After saying that, he opened a small curtain behind the tent, looked around after going out, and lowered his head.
Another tent not far away walked over quickly. Li Luo motioned for Song Wuque and Tang Mengjue to follow him, and Dong Chan got into the tent. The tent was very simply decorated, with no extraneous furnishings.
There were several tables on the ground, and three people were lying on the tables, writing furiously to record something. Seeing Jiang Pu leading Li Luo in, the three of them all stood up and bowed, looking respectful, but none of them said a word. After saluting, the three of them stood up and bowed.
