Chapter 155: Amazing 1 shot

"His Royal Highness, what is it?"
Lu Fei couldn't wait to ask, it was not a crossbow or a catapult. He had been hanging this question for several days.
Luo Xin also leaned over, with eye feces still on the corners of his eyes. These three days of confrontation were boring enough.
At this time, Xiao Ming couldn't hide it. He asked Chen Qi and others to lift the linen cloth.
Suddenly a dark artillery, exuding a metallic cold texture, appeared in front of them.
"Hey, isn't this a fire tube?" Luo Xin looked strange, "but this looks much stronger than a fire tube."
Niu Ben carefully looked at the artillery in front of him. Unlike Luo Xin, he did not come to a conclusion as easily as Luo Xin. Instead, he walked around the artillery and looked at the artillery carefully.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know what it is called?" Niu Ben asked.
"This king calls it artillery." Xiao Ming said, Luo Xin's words are not wrong, after all, this barrel is the predecessor of artillery.
Nodded, Niu Ben turned around the artillery again, and slapped the barrel of the artillery. He held his head against the muzzle and looked inside for a while, "This artillery is well-made, but it is not comparable to a barrel. Moreover, the barrel of fire is thick and short, with a range of only 200 meters. His Royal Highness will definitely not use this to attack the city with this as a trifling matter?"
"The old general is well thought out. The reason why this artillery is different from a barrel is naturally subtle. You will see the difference later. Luo Xin shouldn't be scared to pee your pants at that time."
Luo Xin smiled hippiely, "His Royal Highness, then you can underestimate me. In the army, I have lighted a torch."
"Really? If that's the case, you can only leave this gun to you. Others have no experience." Xiao Ming said solemnly.
Luo Xin grew up in Chang'an City, and his father was General Luo Quan. He naturally had the frivolity of the son-in-law, but he was not so straightforward as the others.
He said: "This is too simple."
If Lu Fei usually snatched this life away, but he knew Xiao Ming very well. Seeing the smirk 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. Up.
Luo Xin wanted to be the first death squad, Chen Qi and others were quite helpless, but they still called dozens of people to help unload the artillery from the car and fix it on the gun mount.
At this time, the artillery pointed at the gate of Wubao at an oblique angle.
Then Chen Qi unloaded the artillery shells, gunpowder, arquebus, and tools for cleaning the artillery from the car, and placed them in front of the artillery.
On the tower at this time, Liu Chuang was watching the movements of the Qingzhou Army below.
When he saw a strange thing placed in front of the Qingzhou army, he suddenly felt a very unclear feeling.
He asked the people around him, "When can the tunnel be cleared?"
Not known to outsiders, in fact, there are two tunnels leading to the outside in Liujiawubao, 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, part of the tunnel had collapsed and was trapped in this Wubao.
But these few have always allowed the subordinates to clear the tunnel, and once the clearing is successful, they can escape.
In the past few days, the Qingzhou army besieged and did not attack, it was exactly what he wanted, but this situation seemed to be ending today.
"More than 200 people have been sent to clear the tunnel. Now more than 50 meters have been cleared. It should be fast. I remember only this section of the soil is very soft, and there should be no problem afterwards."
"Speed ​​up, otherwise we'll be planted here this time, and take away all the food and payment." Liu Chuang said.
"Yes." The man replied, and then said: "Then what about this cement? Take it away too?"
"Idiot, how can I take this thing so heavy, it can't be eaten, it can't be used."
From catching the slave, Liu Chuang learned that this thing was called cement, but it was obviously useless to him.
The man nodded, turned and went down the tower.
Liu Chuang looked down the city again, and saw a man dressed as a captain was holding a long stick and stabbing in the strange thing.
This person is Luo Xin, he is cleaning the barrel.
And what he holds in his hand is the barrel cleaning rod for cleaning the barrel.
The artillery produced by the Department of Equipment is a front-loaded smoothbore gun. Gunpowder and shells must be loaded from the front, and the firing of artillery requires a certain process, not random.
Xiao Ming understood the loading procedure of the artillery, so naturally he didn't need to explore it separately.
Because when the artillery was being produced, he asked Chen Qi to prepare all things such as the barrel rod, the barrel cleaning rod, the gunpowder shovel, the ignition rod, etc., so as not to be in a hurry.
When Luo Xin came up, he had to stuff gunpowder and shells into it and he stopped in time.
This artillery is not a fire tube, and the airtightness of the fire tube does not need to be mentioned. The shell of this artillery is almost the same size as the muzzle, which can just be inserted.
Only in this way can it be ensured that the ammunition explodes and the shell has sufficient power and range.
If something like sand is mixed into it, it is likely to cause a stuffy bomb.
The barrel was cleaned according to Xiao Ming's requirements, and then the gunpowder and shells were filled. Luo Xin used a gunpowder shovel to take out a fork full of gunpowder and put it into the barrel.
The top of this gunpowder shovel is in the shape of a groove, which is exactly the amount required for the gun to fire.
Finally, Luo Xin stuffed the solid shells into the barrel, and compacted the shells and gunpowder with the barrel rod.
"His Royal Highness, it's all right now." Luo Xin asked at this time.
He had never been so delicate before when using a torch.
"Sure," Xiao Ming said.
The firing of the barrel is the same as the artillery, so the rest of Xiao Ming didn't teach it any more, but stepped back a few steps and stood far away.
Seeing Xiao Ming doing this, the others followed suit, and they all stepped back.
When Luo Xin turned around, he suddenly realized that he was alone. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He looked at Lu Fei, dragging the to death, and said, "Lieutenant Lu, come together?"
"You should invite Captain Luo, and I will give you the credit." Lu Fei looked humble.
Luo Xin looked at Xiao Ming again, only to see Xiao Ming giving him an encouraging look.
After gritting his teeth, Luo Xin stuffed the match rope into the hole from the back of the artillery and into the ammunition room ~ EbookFREE.me~ and the ignition stick Chen Qi had already ignited for him. He only needs to light the match rope.
"Your Highness, I ordered." Luo Xin shouted to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming nodded. Although Luo Xin was a bit mischievous, he reminded him: "Don't forget to cover your ears and stand further."
Luo Xin nodded, holding the ignition stick and lighted the rope.
"Zizi", when it touched the flames, the fire rope quickly began to burn. This kind of hemp rope twisted string was soaked in oil and burned quickly.
After Luo Xin ignited the fire, he took a step back and immediately covered his ears.
At this moment, a loud noise like thunder suddenly came out, and flames and blue smoke emerged from the muzzle, and black shells hit the city gate like lightning.
In the Qingzhou Army, the war horses neighed in panic and chaotic.
