The 173rd chapter captures the dragon (2)

After finishing the tent, it was already noon. Yang Chengzu left the warehouse and called several carpenters in the mountain to ask about the wood. These carpenters repaired the walls and built houses for the village. Zhao Quan only used blacksmiths to make firearms, and had nothing to do with carpenters, so no one looked for them.

Yang Chengzu came to them and asked about the wood. He found several old men who could hang buckets over. In the afternoon of that day, he knocked down several big trees in the mountains and started to remove the roots. Then he broke the tree in half and started to cut the hole.

Of course, someone reported to Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan was following a group of blacksmiths to write and draw, discussing how to study the Minni rifle. When he heard this news, he shook his head and said:

"Nothing! I've never heard of carpenters and hoops being able to make firearms. Don't pay attention to him, that's a mess. Just wait and see the jokes. We're busy with ours."

People in the mountains also knew that Zhao Quan and Yang Chengzu were fighting against each other. One was pulling a blacksmith to make a musket, and the other was pulling the young lady to make a fool of herself. Now she started to put the tree out of the box, and I don’t know what the hell was doing. Many people were just watching jokes, waiting to see what good show could be made.

When the next day, when the sky was bright, Hao Yunlong called several camp leaders and many subordinates to the court. This team was actually mixed with many people from the world, heroes from the green forest, and the team members were relatively complicated. But no matter what, they were the backbone of the old border troops, retaining the military qualities of the border troops, and they were still relatively diligent in training every day. As soon as the sky was dawn, they formed a formation in the school ground, but they finally entered the green forest. The team stood loose and the discipline was not rigorous.

I saw three cannons made of big trees in the middle of the scheduling ground. They were called cannons, but in fact they were divided into two halves, and the bore was taken off, and then mixed in one place, and a few were scooped with iron hoops outside. How could it look like a large wooden barrel?

Lei Xiaochen couldn't help asking, "This thing is a firearm made by Yang Baihu? When we were in the army, most of the firearms in the court were unbearable, and they might be able to blow themselves to death by blowing the chamber. But no matter what, it is also an iron guy. Even if you can't kill people, it can be used as an iron hammer if you swung them. Can this wooden barrel be used as a firearm? The float of the court did not seem to be getting more and more powerful."

Yang Chengzu came to Lei Xiaochen and said, "Second leader, you said this too early. We will tell if this thing can be used as a firearm by trying it out. Come on, load it up."

Hao Qingqing and Aunt Dong personally filled in the gunpowder bag, put some gravels in, and lit the fuses of three wooden cannons one by one. Only the sound of rumbling sounds were heard, smoke filled the stones flying around and the gravels splashed. If this thing wanted to hit a fixed target, it would be difficult to hit. So there was a large wooden sign on the opposite side, and who was who was the one.

The three cannons were released, and the wooden sign actually swept down more than a dozen sides. If it was on the battlefield, it could indeed injure more than a dozen enemies. Zhao Quan said: "What is this? The power of this thing is worse than that of a bowl gun. This is the firearm you made. What is its use?"

"Brother Zhao said that the power of this thing is indeed weaker than that of the bowl gun. Even the imperial court's magic gun may not lose to it." Yang Chengzu was not afraid of revealing the shortcomings.

"It is wood, and the bowl-mouth gun is iron. If it is more powerful than the bowl-mouth gun, then there is a problem. But it is precisely because it is wood and the bowl-mouth gun is iron, so its first advantage is safety."

"Yes, this is a life-threatening mission to release the gun. Who knows when the firearm made by the court will explode? That thing will kill people. So when we fire the gun, we can only install less gunpowder, just to avoid blowing the chamber or blowing the chamber, we will not blow ourselves to death."

When Liu Gan, a gunman on Qinglong Mountain, heard the word "safety" and was the first to stand up and speak. He was responsible for firing the gun. The safety of the gun was directly related to his life. No one knew the advantages and disadvantages of this bowl-mouthed gun more deeply than he did. When he heard that the wooden gun was safe, he naturally supported it with both hands.

Yang Chengzu pointed to the cannon body, "This wooden cannon is useless. At most, it will break if it fires two or three cannons. However, its explosion chamber is just a crack and re-fired iron hoops, and it can still be used. So this is the second benefit of this cannon, which is convenient."

He pointed to the wall of the bowl gun on the wall, "This thing is the treasure on our mountain. After all, the Folang machine cannot be bought, so he expects the bowl gun to protect the mountain. But because it is precious, when everyone fights, they must protect it no matter whether the war is favorable or unfavorable. But like this wooden cannon, you can use it when you want to use it, and throw it away when you want to. There is just a piece of wood, a few iron hoops, how many cents are worth? Don't care too much."

"Besides, although this thing is not enough to last for a long time, it will explode after long use. However, trees are easy to get. We only need to make a few more doors and you will have everything. This is the third benefit, which is cheap. The cost of buying a bowl gun can make dozens of wood or even nearly a hundred wooden cannons. At that time, we only need to buy gunpowder, which saves the expense of buying bowl guns. It just adds some good food to the leaders of the village and asks for a few wives for the men. No matter how bad it is, you can buy more foot strength and more armor."

"This wooden cannon is like a bowl gun. It has no requirements for the ammunition fired. Whether it is iron nails, crumbs, or gravels, everything can be used as ammunition. This thing is simple, easy to make and cheap, and we can do it by carpenters going up the mountain. And it is also very convenient to teach people how to do it. As long as we think about it, it is not a big deal for us to build hundreds of doors on the mountain."

Zhao Quan said: "But this thing has made hundreds of doors. Can it be able to compete with the government army's muskets?"

"But why do we want the enemy to live in the government army's muskets?" Huo Fenghuang took the conversation at this time. "We occupy the mountain, not rebels. When the government army comes to fight, we retreat to the neighboring province. Are we using the government army to fight desperately? These more than a hundred wooden cannons are easy to carry and can be taken out for robbery. As long as they are lined up, what courage does the caravan have to fight hard with us? At that time, everyone will be fully returned. When they are in conjunction with other green forests, this thing is also a rare weapon. I think it is easier to use than yours, which is more useful than you."

After all, this killer is already very bandit-like. When he heard this description, he made sense. No one wanted to fight against the government army. When he heard the prospect of this thing, he said, "It's a good thing. With these many wooden cannons, are we still afraid of a ghost?"

Especially those blacksmiths who were pulled to study muskets, their techniques are not very good. They are taught by fathers and sons, and they are mostly knowledgeable, but they don’t know why. It is still possible to let them work, but it is a bit difficult for them to invent and research. The thing Zhao Quan studied is really too wide for technology. They have been tortured these days. When they saw this wooden cannon, they immediately stood up and supported:

"Yes, we can't understand how to make the muskets. On the contrary, this wooden cannon is simple and easy to learn and get started. We can help you with it. I think it's better to use wooden cannons in our village, so don't think about the muskets."

Zhao Quanxin knew that the firearm actually represented the direction of development. He studied the Minnie gun in order to raise an army and rebel and fight it out in the future. And studying the wooden cannon is to be a successful career and to be at ease in the promising job of bandits. The biggest future is to get a helping hand, and achieve great things is to be a mirror and water moon. He couldn't help but say anxiously:

"You should not be fooled by this thief in the government. He wants to destroy everyone's fighting spirit and make you lose the capital to compete with the government. When you wake up, don't fall into his trap. Qingqing girl, don't be deceived by him. This person is cheating on you and is not sincere to you." Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
