Chapter 156

"What is it, your highness?"

Lu Fei can't wait to ask, not bed crossbow, not catapult, he has been hanging this question in his heart for several days.

Luo Xin also came over, the corner of his eye is still stained with eye excrement, the confrontation of these three days is boring enough.

At this time, Xiao Ming can not hide, he let Chen Qi and others will open the linen.

All of a sudden, a gun appeared in front of them.

"Eh, isn't this a torch?" Luo Xin looked strange, "but it looks much stronger than the torch."

Niu Zhen carefully looked at the gun in front of him. He didn't come to a conclusion as easily as Luo Xin. He walked around the gun and looked at it carefully.

"Your Highness, I don't know what it's called?" Asked Niu Zhen.

"I call it artillery." Xiao Ming said that Luo Xin's words are not wrong. After all, this fire tube is the predecessor of artillery.

After nodding, Niu Zhen turned around the gun again, patted the gun body, and looked inside with his head against the muzzle for a while. "The gun is well made, which can't be compared with the fire tube. Moreover, the fire tube is thick and short, with a range of less than 200 meters. Your highness certainly won't attack the city with this?"

"The old general thought carefully. The reason why this gun is different from the fire tube naturally has its subtlety. You can see later. Don't be scared to pee your pants at that time, Luo Xin."

Rosin grinned, "Your Highness, you can look down on me. I've lit a torch in the army."

"Yes? In that case, you can only do this. Others have no experience. " Xiao Ming said solemnly.

Luo Xin grew up in Chang'an City, and his father was a great general named Luo Quan. Naturally, he was a little frivolous, unlike others.

"It's too simple," he said

Lu Fei would have robbed this job if he was normal, but he knew Xiao Ming very well. Seeing the bad smile on Xiao Ming's face, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. This time, he was honest and didn't fight with Luo Xin.

Luo Xin wants to be the first death squad. Chen Qi and others are quite helpless, but they still ask dozens of people to help unload the gun from the car and fix it on the gun seat.

At this time, the gun pointed at the gate of Wubao at an inclined angle.

Then Chen Qi unloaded the shells, gunpowder, fire rope, and tools for cleaning the artillery from the car, and set them in front of the artillery.

At this time, Liu Chuang was watching the movements of Qingzhou army.

When he saw a strange thing placed in front of the Qingzhou army, he suddenly had a very unknown feeling.

He asked the people around him, "when can the tunnel be dredged?"

Unknown to outsiders, in fact, there are two tunnels leading to the outside of Liu's Wubao, one of which was blown up by him.

Originally, Liu Chuang wanted to escape through another tunnel, but he never thought that because the tunnel was in disrepair, some of it had collapsed, so he was trapped in the castle.

But these days, they always let their subordinates clear the tunnel. Once the tunnel is successfully dredged, they can escape.

In recent days, the Qingzhou army surrounded but did not attack, which was exactly what he wanted, but it seems that this situation is about to end today.

"More than 200 people have been sent to dredge the tunnel. Now more than 50 meters have been cleared. It should be fast. I remember that only this section of soil is very soft. It should be OK after that."

"Speed up, or we'll be planted here this time, and take all the food and pay away." Liu Chuang said.

"Yes." The man answered and said, "what about the cement? Do you want to take it with you? "

"Fool, how can I take this heavy thing away? It can't be eaten or used."

From catching slaves, Liu Chuang learned that it was called cement, but it was obviously useless to him.

The man nodded and turned down the castle.

Liu Chuang looked down the city again. At this time, he saw a man dressed as a school captain poking around with a long stick in the strange thing.

This is Roxin. He's cleaning the gun.

And he's got a gun barrel cleaning strip in his hand.

At present, the artillery produced by the equipment department belongs to the front loading smoothbore gun. The gunpowder and shells have to be loaded from the front, and the firing of artillery requires a certain process, not nonsense.

Xiao Ming knew the loading procedure of artillery, so he didn't need to explore it any more.

Because during the artillery production, he asked Chen Qi to prepare all the things, such as the gun barrel, the gun barrel strip, the gunpowder shovel, and the ignition rod, so as not to be in a hurry.

At the beginning, Luo Xin would put gunpowder and shells into it, which he stopped in time.

The gun is not a fire tube. The sealing of the fire tube need not be mentioned. The shell of the gun is almost as big as the muzzle and can just be inserted.

Only in this way can the ammunition explode, and the ammunition has enough power and range.

If there is sand and other things mixed into it, it is likely to cause dull bomb.According to Xiao Ming's request, he cleaned the gun bore and then filled it with gunpowder and shells. At this time, Luo Xin took out a fork full of gunpowder with a gunpowder shovel and put it into the gun bore.

The top of the powder shovel is in the shape of a groove, which is exactly the amount needed for the gun to launch at one time.

Finally, Luo Xincai put the solid shell into the gun bore, and used the bore rod to compact the shell and gunpowder.

"Now, your highness." Asked rosin.

He had never been so careful when he used the torch before.

"Yes." Xiao Ming said.

The firing of the fire tube is the same as that of the artillery. The rest of Xiao Ming didn't teach him any more. Instead, he stepped back and stood far away.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was like this, other people were like that, and they all stepped back a few steps.

As soon as Luo Xin looked back, he suddenly found that he was alone. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He looked at Lufei and pulled the bastard even if he wanted to die. He said, "Captain Lu, come along?"

"Captain Luo, please. I'll give you the credit." Luffy looks modest.

Luo Xin looks at Xiao Ming again and sees that Xiao Ming gives him an encouraging look.

Biting his teeth, he jammed the fire rope into the ammunition chamber through the hole in the back of the gun.

And the torch Chen Qi has lit for him, just need him to light the rope is enough.

"Your Highness, I ordered it." Luo Xin shouts to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded, although some mischief Luo Xin, but he still reminded: "don't forget to cover your ears, stand away."

Rosin nodded, took the stick and lit the rope.

"Zizi", touched with the flame, the rope quickly began to burn, this kind of rope rubbed with hemp rope soaked in oil, burning very fast.

After he ignited the fire, he stepped back and immediately covered his ears.

At this time, such as thunder in general, a loud bang suddenly came out, only to see the muzzle of the fire and smoke, black shell lightning general hard hit on the city gate.

However, the horses in Qingzhou army were in a panic.
