"Huihui Cannon?" Bai Zhou showed a surprised expression on his face.

Although Hui Hui cannon is called "cannon", it is actually a large stone-capping machine. The rock weighs 150 kilograms and is launched with an aircraft, saving force and has a very long range. In the early days of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, it was a great military achievement, which allowed the Mongolian army, which had always been unaware of siege and village, to gain an absolute advantage in positional warfare for the first time.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, the Mongolian and Yuan army besieged the city for five years, and almost no achievements were made. After all, although the Song army was not good at wild warfare, it had a lot of experience and technical advantages on the defense of the town. It was not until the birth of Huihuan artillery that this situation was completely broken.

In the first month of the tenth year of Yuan Dynasty (1273), the Mongols attacked Fancheng with Huihui cannons and won in one fell swoop. Then, the Yuan army moved the cannons to Xiangyang. According to careful observation of the terrain, the Yuan generals placed giant cannons in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City. "The sound of the plane shook the heaven and the earth, and all the attacks were destroyed, and they entered the ground seven feet." As a result, they shot the Xiangyang Qiao Tower with one shot, "The sound was like thunder, shaking the city. The city was raging, and many of the generals surrendered over the city." Song general Lu Wenhuan knew he was defeated, so he accepted the city to surrender to the Yuan army. The battle of Xiangfan, which had been withered for five years, was declared to be over with the roar of Huihui cannons. Therefore, Huihui cannons were also called Xiangyang cannons.

Then, the Yuan army used this powerful Hui artillery to continuously expand the results of the war, using the cannon to conquer Tanzhou first, followed by Jingjiang, and expanded the results to Hunan and Guangxi. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty also ordered border counties to imitate Hui artillery, but in the end, the defeat was decided and the situation was not restored.

The reason why Bai Zhou showed a surprised expression was because he did not expect that Wei Fu would actually create such a big guy. You must know that Hui Hui cannon technology originated from the Western Regions. In terms of catapults, even the Song Dynasty, which had always been ahead of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, was ashamed of himself. Bai Zhou really didn't expect that Western Qin had indeed produced many talents and could even imitate such things; secondly, Bai Zhou believed that Wei Fu should know that a Hui Hui cannon had limited functions, and that just such a thing, although it was powerful, it should not allow Wei Fu to come to Basel in person. After all, Hui Hui cannon was not an atomic bomb, and one or two could end a war.

Especially this large trencher that is obviously used for offensive ends is now used for defense, and the effect will definitely be reduced. Moreover, the worst thing is that there is only one aircraft, so how can Bai Zhou feel? He knows that Xi Qin has so many advanced technologies, but he still can't use the feeling of the battlefield, which is really not very comfortable.

"There is no way, my old friend has such a personality." Wei Fu also knew that if we were to build two bee crossbows alone, it would definitely be more useful than a Huihui cannon. But he also knew the character of his old friend, and he would do whatever he did. Once he understood the item, he would immediately lose interest. For example, the bee crossbows introduced to Bai Zhou last time, if the old friend listened to him this time, he would honestly build a few more, and now he brought it, maybe he could leave a more impression in the young master's heart. But the old friend thought that he should make one or two new things so that the young master could remember him, so the birth of this Huihui cannon was born.

"Forget it, having is better than not. Besides, although we are the defensive side, it does not mean that we can only defend blindly." Bai Zhou paused and continued: "In general, we are in a strategic defense position. However, in local battles, we can also use attack instead of defense and appear as the offensive side."

Wei Fu showed a look of praise on his face and said, "It's true, I'm always defending, and I guess even Meng Shan won't agree."

After saying that, it seemed that he thought of something interesting in the past, and the corner of Wei Fu's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Bai Zhou stared at the gradually assembled Huihuan, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He originally thought that it would make Weifu put down all the affairs in Bern and rushed to Basel specifically for a very important thing. In addition, Weifu mentioned in the previous letter that it was to escort something, and there was a bee crossbow machine as a "preparation", so Bai Zhou was full of expectations for what Weifu could bring this time.

Unexpectedly, things are indeed good things, but their effect on Xi Qin is really limited.

A Huihuan, even if it can fire 150 kilograms of stones at a time, with a range of nearly 400 meters, its poor accuracy and slow firing rate make it difficult for Bai Zhou to use it as a "key" weapon, let alone a conventional weapon.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhou was about to leave. Now he had a lot of things on hand. Frank had such an unpleasant thing with Wolfgang, and Bai Zhou hoped not to affect the meeting between the three parties at noon. Wolfgang was going to meet Joan of Arc. As for whether he saw him or what he said, although Bai Zhou didn't care, it seemed that it would not be appropriate if he didn't care at all, especially looking at Wolfgang, he did not avoid the Western Qin people.

"Young Master, are you going to leave now? There is still something I haven't seen." Wei Fu saw that Bai Zhou wanted to leave, and immediately spoke out and stopped him.

"Let's not watch it now. I will discuss some tactical strategies with the Swiss Germans and the people of the Holy Roman Empire later, and the time is limited."

To be honest, Bai Zhou was very interested in Huihui cannon and knew that its power was indeed tested in practice. Although Bai Zhou didn't know who was more powerful than the original ones of the imitation Huihui cannon of the tribesmen. However, the old man in barefoot clothes had already told himself with his bee crossbow machine that what he had tinkered with would not be inferior products.

The problem is that, unless its accuracy can reach a range of 400 meters and the error is no more than one meter, it can be used as a "sniper", otherwise, Baizhou will not have any hope for it.

"Oh, forget it." When Bai Zhou turned his head and was about to leave, Wei Fu seemed to be talking to himself: "I heard from the Dogzi that if we had enough tincture oil in the Battle of Basel, then the final result might be better. Our Western Qin is not strong, so every tribe is wealth. This time, I brought something like tincture oil. Don't the young master want to take a look?"
