Chapter 497

After coaxing one and scolding one, Zhao Bing asked someone to send some food to the front army and allocated some money to accommodate the people who came to find their relatives. He walked to the east gate and stepped on the suspension bridge and retreated, thinking not to worry about the old man anymore, and turned his head back to the ship. However, in order to avoid trouble, the ship was still sailing on the west coast. He looked at the enemy camp on the east coast with the enemy artillery hidden position. After many battles, he knew that the enemy naval army was strong and not suitable for forcing crossing, but he was still actively preparing for crossing the river. I guess it was with those artillery!
"A few brats, let you steal one back, but why did you make such a move?" Just after the ugly moment, a battle broke out in the west of the city. To be precise, the place of the battle was released at the Yuan army camp on the west bank of Jinjiang. He woke Zhao Bing who was sleeping soundly. He put on his clothes and looked out the window. There were fire and explosions.
"Ni Liang, how many people did Zheng Yong take out?" Ni Liang immediately stood up when he heard the movement, and brought several guards to protect him. Zhao Bing turned his head and asked.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Yong has brought a small team of water ghosts!" Ni Liang replied.
"How could a small team of people have done such a big thing? Could it be that something happened, right?" Zhao Bing couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing this.
"No, Zheng Yong can pierce two feet deep, and he can swim from the other end of the river without breathing. Even if he is seen, he can drill into the river, the Tartars can't catch him!" Ni Liang shook his head and said.
"You send someone to pick you up and don't have any trouble!" Zhao Bing said with some concern. After all, the matter was caused by his curiosity for a moment, so it would be unprofitable to deal with a few elites.
The time to wait for news was the most difficult. Anyway, I couldn't sleep anymore. Zhao Bing sat a few days ago and picked up the iron bullet that broke through the gangway that had been picked up from the Danwei and played with it. After returning to the camp today, he personally went to the Danwei and inspected the bounce point. Strictly speaking, the gangway was not completely penetrated. After the iron bullet penetrated the three-layer gangway, the remaining force could no longer penetrate the last layer of the gangway. It just smashed it, and the iron bullet with a diameter of half an inch fell from the gap, so it did not hurt people. But it still scared everyone, because the dragon boat had never been penetrated since the actual combat, and it was born on a new ship that had been in service for less than a year.
Zhao Bing weighed the iron bullets at about seven or eight taels. Although they were not big and powerful, they would definitely be easily penetrated if they were ordinary warships. But looking at the diameter of the iron bullets, he felt that it was not like a cannon, but rather a gun. Therefore, he was a little curious about what the Yuan army was equipped with, which made him even more anxious. After a half hour, Zheng Yong and others finally came back. Everyone had to have all their tails, and they were all holding a heavy guy and sent it up.
Zhao Bing counted five of them. It turned out that they were packing their things back. No wonder they made such a big noise. However, he suppressed his curiosity to take a look immediately, and first asked about the "stealing" artillery. After all, they tried their best to get it for you. If they didn't even have a word of concern, it would be too unkind.
It turned out that Zheng Yong led a team of people to take a boat halfway through the river and dive to the other side. He quietly entered the Yuan army's camp according to the direction determined by His Majesty, and really found the metal tube described by His Majesty. Zheng Yong thought that this thing must be an extremely important thing, otherwise he would not use the "Water Ghost Team" to do this, so he never thought about getting all the five cannons back.
But this cannon is not a firewood stick, and it can be brought back with just a clamp under the armpit. Of course, it was discovered by patrol reinforcements. These goods did not stop and just robbed them. Not only did they kill a team of patrolling enemy soldiers, but they also set off a fire to ignite all the rafts that the Yuan army was preparing to build a bridge. The fire ignited the gunpowder stored nearby, which made the matter a big deal, but they took advantage of the chaos to drag the cannons onto the small boat that was being relayed and ran back!
Zhao Bing was amused and laughed when he heard this. He just wanted to see what this thing looked like. It would be enough to get one back. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yong wrapped it all up and took such a big risk, but the matter could not be explained so as not to hurt everyone's hearts. So while applauding it, he warned them not to take risks rashly in the future, and that he could not lose these elites, such as them. They were treasures that could not be exchanged for hundreds of cannons.
With spiritual encouragement, Zhao Bing certainly did not forget the material reward. He was even more reluctant to give the guard camp that belonged to the core circle, but this time he gave not gold and silver, but each of them a short knife. This knife was not made of ordinary materials, but was made of scrap products and scraps of trial springs. Although it was used for waste, it was not as good as the legendary artifact, but the hardness, toughness and strength were better than the so-called 100-steel steel.
The knife was designed by Zhao Bing himself and created by the imperial supervisor. It has a fantastic appearance, supplemented by whale bones as the handle, wrapped in gold wire, and shark skin as the sheath, with gems inlaid. The word "dragon teeth" is engraved on the surface of the knife. It is not only a self-defense weapon, but also an extremely exquisite work of art. With limited materials, only eighteen pieces were created, which makes it even more precious. He claimed to reward the warriors in the army. Zheng Yong and others set the precedent, of course they were overjoyed. This is more precious than gold and silver. The problem is that you can't buy it even if you have money!
After killing a few people, Zhao Bing asked someone to move the "cannon" to his studio for research. After cleaning the mud and sand above, the cannon body was bluishly copper, indicating that the cannon body should be made of copper, but the production is relatively rough. When you look closely, there are vents and unsanded edges and corners on it, which should be cast. Its shape is thick and consists of a muzzle, a cannon chamber, a medicine chamber and a tail. The muzzle is bowl-shaped, and the muzzle is large bowl-shaped, with a thick and long front chamber, and the medicine chamber is bulging and oval-shaped, with a small hole on it, which is connected to the medicine chamber and is used to fill the fuze. The tail end is flush and the edge is convex.
