Chapter 509: The Big Cannon That Shatters the Sky and the Earth
"Diao Chong was originally kidnapped by your Tianzong. You told me before that a big shot in the Tianzong was interested in his skills, so you imprisoned him here. This person is just an ant and a maggot to me, and he is insignificant to the general situation.
.Some people want to save him, mostly out of moral justice and personal grudges. If they are really planning to pacify the city, they will not cause trouble at such a moment and alert the snake. So in my opinion, even if there is someone in the Military Advisor's Office
Being acquainted with these thieves and helping them secretly does not mean that there is something wrong with the loyalty of the Military Advisor to me. At this time, those who really have second thoughts are cautious and obedient, for fear that I will find out that they are acting abnormally. Why?
Are you still going to be so grand and staged to hold a warehouse-filling festival and take the opportunity to investigate and prepare for fire prevention? Tell me, what threat can this investigation pose to the city's defense~ Hey, it's called eating!"
Listening to Mu Tai's analysis, Xia Chisong felt very complicated. On the one hand, he had to admit that what Mu Tai said was logical, but his intuition kept reminding him that there was something wrong with those Mi Men people. But what exactly was it?
Something was wrong, and he couldn't tell for the moment.
While he was distracted, his chess-playing fingers accidentally hit the chessboard.
According to the ancient rules, you will have no regrets!
As long as the chess piece touches the chessboard, it can no longer move!
Although this random strike was just an idle move, how could there be room for an idle move in the middle of the game? Mu Tai seized the opportunity and quickly made a move, calling both pieces for capture. The dragon, which was already dead, unexpectedly...
He was rescued suddenly!
At this point in the chess game, the outcome has been decided.
Nineteen lanes, this is the first time Mu Tai defeated Xia Chisong. The first time! Even if it was just a handicap.
Mu Tai stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed. No matter what Xia Chisong tried to persuade him, he probably wouldn't listen.
When Xia Chisong left, he walked to a water tank and took a look.
In early winter, it didn't take long for the still water surface to be blocked by thin ice again. The liquid level was very close to the mouth of the cylinder, so it was obviously just filled.
"Hey! Vigorous!" Yang Dayan was the closest, and he praised while jumping to avoid the bamboo debris.
The guiding bamboo tube could not withstand it and was blown to pieces.
I haven't lost in chess for ten years, and yet I lost so cowardly at the beginning of spring.
Yuan Chuntuo was again assigned to take care of the four little ones and Yuan Shisan County. Naturally, she felt that the boss was not willing to do so. She was about to protest, but Xun Zhi whispered a few words in her ear. Miss Yuan immediately turned her anger into happiness.
, jumped and ran away.
Li Guizu and Ren Shentong also took one each and went to the location prearranged by Military Master Fu to prepare it.
Xia Chisong's thoughts returned to the chess game just now.
Xuanzhi glanced at Qingyun, as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately nodded, "Okay. Let Ren Shentong lead the fourth company."
They tried firing the first bomb in a small building near the river, and heard a loud bang. The air wave from the explosion was locked in the bamboo tube and compressed in the small space~
The violent force could not be suppressed after all, and the iron pellets used for the test firing were instantly thrown out, straight into the clouds, flying gradually smaller and smaller in everyone's field of vision until they were almost undetectable.
Makizuki improved several of the projectile devices that were used to launch the weapons that day, and was explaining in detail how to use them to his co-conspirators.
"Does this thing have a name?" Yuan Chuntuo asked curiously.
But today he wanted to make a bigger noise, preferably to shock the whole city, so he specially made a guide tube out of thick bamboo.
"In my opinion, let's call it the 'Hey Dali' cannon. The Khulu Army likes to seek glory. Anyone who is the first to shout at a new object is equivalent to giving it a name, and it has the power of words. Today's cannon, The name should be given by Brother Big Eyes." Ren Shentong suggested.
Everyone agreed, so Xunzhi smiled and agreed, "Okay, let's call it the powerful cannon. I will add wheels under the cannon body to facilitate dragging. As the old saying goes, a company is linked to a cart, so then We elected four company commanders, and each picked people to act separately. I took charge of the first company. Liu Bijin had fought with me many times when he was in Ekou, but he still followed me this time. The second company commander, then he needs his fifth brother. I'll do it for you. The third company, Old Immortal Li, and the fourth company, brother Diao Chong. If you don't have any objections, let the fifth brother pick someone first."
"Wait, wait. I want to go on a team with Brother Diao. I'm too busy these days. I just want to find some time to chat with him more." Qingyun immediately raised his hand.
The conditions at the mouth of the river were in a hurry at that time, so Suzuki just dug a simple track on the tree trunk as a guide. This design actually did not make good use of the air waves generated by the explosion, and the throw distance was very limited. Fortunately, Suzuki was able to use it at the time. There is no need to be too particular about dropping bombs from a high place.
Xuanzhi shook his head again, "This is my first time saving it, and I haven't given it a name yet."
So there was no big suspense in the grouping. Old Immortal Li chose Li Huan, while Ren Shentong and Yang Dayan were already familiar with each other and became partners again.
The evenings in Pingcheng have never been so lively, and not many people gathered even during the Lantern Festival. After all, the lantern temple fair happens every year, but I heard that this year's War-filling Festival had many new tricks created by military advisers, so thousands of people came to the streets to get a glimpse of the secrets.
However, Xuanzhi was not satisfied with the result and shook his head and said, "This thing still has some flaws. It consumes too much bamboo tubes. Let's divide it into four groups later and send six ammunition to each group. I will reinforce the bamboo tubes with iron hoops, and each group will I'll give you three spare ones, they should be able to hold on."
The key to this projectile device is to load the explosives in the projectile into two parts, then use the crossbow on the device to activate the arrow, hit the flint to trigger a small explosion, and throw the round projectile out at the same time. Burn the main fuse.
He made a mistake and had no regrets. He could only shake his head and strode out of Mu's house.
"Wei!" Qingyun responded and went to hold the cannon.
Just before it turned dark, Xunzhi strengthened all the bamboo tubes and added rollers to the cannon body. Then he proudly shouted to Qingyun, "Second Company Commander, quickly pull up your powerful cannon."
Xia Chisong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Hey, maybe he really thinks too much. Preparing for fire prevention, what other bad intentions can be hidden in this?
"Tangun, do you want to ask me something?" Diao Chong asked when he saw that everyone had dispersed.
Qingyun did have something to ask him. From the first moment he saw Diao Chong, he wanted to hold his arm and have a long conversation. Unfortunately, he had been too nervous for many days. The situation around him was tense, and it was tense to formulate temporary tactics. , the construction period for the production of related props has become even tighter. He has been busy until now, and Qingyun finally got the time to talk to Diao Chong a few more words.
"Yes, Brother Diao. I have always wanted to ask, did you see anyone else when you were imprisoned in Chisong Temple?"
"Others?" Diao Chong said in surprise.
