612 End of the War 1
"Brother Dong, this is the power of the gunpowder you said? If you don't need a cannon, just let it go, can it explode?"
Dong Kui said: "As long as the gunpowder is loaded, it will explode when it is lit. If you want to test its power on the spot, you only need to make the lead wire longer."
Chen Yu really wanted to give it a try. He went on to say: "I saw that the craftsmen added iron beads and gunpowder to the shells. I thought, if you use a clay pot, the effect should be the same, as long as you use a catapult. It can be thrown out, and the enemy can also be killed. This is faster than artillery production."
"It's up to you. You also know that if you use a stone thrower, this distance can be close. This is very different from artillery. After all, artillery can hit miles away."
Chen Yu naturally knew what Dong Kui said, but he thought it was a bit slow when he thought that he wouldn't be able to make a few shells a day. Moreover, at close range, the effect of artillery is limited. If a stone thrower can be used, this is best, so that gunpowder can be used to kill the enemy regardless of whether it is at long range or close range.
Once this idea took root in Chen Yu's mind, then this must be done, and then he said: "Brother Dong, can you make some clay pots to hold medicine? I really want to try. Give it a try and see if this clay pot works."
Dong Kui smiled and said: "This is not that easy. To make an estimate, you have to ask the potters first. It is best to put the iron ball into the pot interlayer and burn it. The fragment line can also be burned. Engrave it beforehand, and finally just fill the pot with medicine."
"Okay, I'll go to the potters to ask about this later, I don't think it will be difficult for them."
After Chen Yu finished the artillery test here, he went straight to find someone. He really wanted to finish this thing as soon as possible. After all, if it succeeds, it can be used on the battlefield. Now this battle is still being fought. If you can use this thing, you can naturally end the war sooner.
A few days later, Chen Yu finally got the clay pot he wanted. It was round, with two layers inside and outside. Some iron beads were placed in the middle layer. The mouth of the pot was very small. This was suggested by Dong Kui, which would help the pot explode. After getting the clay pot, Chen Yu couldn't wait to come to the workshop to find Dong Kui, but he really wanted to see if it would be powerful in this way.
After Dong Kui got the pottery pot, he smashed it into pieces. When I checked it, there were engraved lines on the inner and outer layers, and the iron beads were still placed in the reserved holes, and they were not adhered to the pot body. , It is indeed very good, but how powerful this can be, can only be known after trying it.
A clay pot was placed in the open space not far from the workshop, and a circle of wooden boards was placed around the pot. The wooden board is two feet away from the pot. After a while, just look at the bullet marks and residues on the wooden board to know how powerful it is. . After Dong Kui's men ignited the medicine line, they ran out quickly. This was two kilograms of medicine, and he had to run faster.
In the distance, Chen Yu and others all hid behind the wooden shield, afraid of being injured. After a while, the clay pot exploded, and the wooden boards remained unmoved. After all, there is support behind each wooden board. If it can be blown off in this way, then there is no need to look at its power.
When Dong Kui and Chen Yu stepped forward to check, they saw that besides a lot of iron beads embedded on the wooden board, there were also some clay pot crumbs that left marks on it. Now they finally know that the pottery The outer body of the tank doesn't have much power. It is the iron ball that can play a killing effect, but anyway, it has power.
Chen Yu was very happy. When Dong Kui saw him like this, he said to him: "We don't have much gunpowder. Even if you do it, you can't do much. This is not very helpful to the war. After all, it is. In the jungle, there is no large-scale field battle."
This is indeed a more pertinent sentence. Most of them are in the woods in the war. This is really not powerful. If you talk about siege, it does seem to be less powerful. Although it can control the enemy, it can't break the city. , Really doesn't help much in the current war.
But Chen Yu didn't think so. He knew very well that when fighting in the jungle, the opponent was not their opponent at all, and only when they captured the city, their damage was the greatest, and only at that time would the opponent be their opponent. Really opposed to them, although the power of the gunpowder exploded is not too great, but the other party has never seen it. If it is really used, it may have a miraculous effect.
"Brother Dong, don't worry about this. I know in my heart that in a few days, I will make three hundred clay pots. It doesn't take too much gunpowder."
Dong Kui could only smile and shook his head. The three hundred gunpowder jars really can't use up the gunpowder here. Anyway, more and more raw materials will come in the later stage. It doesn't matter, plus this is Chen Yu's chief. Since he wants to do it, he can only do it with him. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
But Dong Kui still said: "Qiu Chengfu and the others don't have time to help you get the iron beads. You can only ask the blacksmiths here to help you make them."
"Okay, I will arrange for others to do this, as long as Brother Dong can prepare more medicine lines."
"This is not a problem. I will then explain to someone to do this."
In the next few days, the potters started to make this double-layer round pottery. The blacksmiths in the city are also making iron beads. This is not very demanding. It doesn’t matter even if it’s an oval, it doesn’t need to be anyway. So fine. As long as the clay pot is made here, it will not take much time to charge the medicine, one day is enough.
A few days later, Chen Yu's pottery pot was not finished yet, and the person who spread the news went to Siam City. In the city lord's mansion, Chen Yu hurriedly met the people who came, but he hadn't heard the news ahead for some time.
It was Jiang Xu who sent the letter back. When Chen Yu saw him, seeing that he was still a little happy, he knew that the battle should go smoothly, so he asked Jiang Xu to sit down and ask.
"Jiang Xu, what happened to the war ahead? Why did you come back to tell?"
"We have already won the battle against Zhenla. Brother Lin and Hong Ming encircled their royal city in two days. The third brother also took people to Linyi, Ye Ge and He. General Luo Ge is advancing to the southern capital of Zhenla, and wants to wipe out the remaining forces left in Zhenla. It is estimated that now, Brother Lin has also led his army to Linyi, and he is just around the corner. In order for you to prepare a slave camp, this time we captured nearly 20,000 tripartite coalition forces. Hong Ming said that these people are useful, but it is a pity that they cannot be killed."
Of course Chen Yu knew that killing prisoners could not be done, and then he asked: "Why do you want to get all these people back?"
"Hong Ming is worried about their riots. After all, Lin Yi has not yet come down, and Zhenla is not stable now. It is best to escort these people back.
"Okay, I know, then I asked people to follow along and build a camp outside the city." (End of this chapter)
