Great Tang Southern Emperor

He is the current prince, and he is the most outstanding prince, even better than the prince, but do they dare to say that?

Seeing how slippery the two were, Li Jing couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Two old foxes, I don't have anyone else here, what are you afraid of?"

"I can't help it. Many people in history died because they said wrong things. The teacher who never forgets the past should not say such things." Su Dingfang said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, Su Lie and I mean the same thing." Yuchi Jingde quickly echoed.

"By the way, speaking of cannons, what do you think of the prospects of this thing?" Li Zhen easily changed the subject: "If it is used on the battlefield, what will be the effect?"

"Of course." Yuchi Jingde said without hesitation: "I also went to see the traces after the shelling, my good guy, the big crater just created by the bombing is two feet deep. I want to have a living thing."

"My opinion is similar to that of Director Yuchi, but I think the usage of the cannon is not so simple." Su Dingfang took a sip of tea and thought about it: "I think this thing should be the same as the cavalry, and it should be used together. The destructive power of the Raytheon No. [-] cannon, if there are a hundred such cannons, how many people do you think the enemy needs to die before they can approach our position when they are fully fired?"

"If you don't die, it's probably not going to happen." Yuchi Jingde calculated, and was startled: "If 1 people die before the enemy gets close, I'm afraid they will collapse first, right? Is there still a need to fight?"

"That's right, with this cannon, the status of our generals will probably be greatly reduced." Unlike Yuchi Jingde's shock, Su Dingfang thought of this.

When Yuchi Jingde heard this, his expression darkened.

"How is it possible?" Li Jing smiled and said, "It's not like you haven't seen a cannon before. How heavy do you think the cannon is?"

"I'm afraid it won't weigh more than two thousand catties, what do you mean, Commander?" Su Dingfang suddenly understood Li Jing's meaning, and murmured, "Yes, the cannon is too heavy. It depends on our cavalry and infantry."

"And you may not know that the King of Yue once told me that because of the extremely high precision requirements, it is very difficult to cast the Thor No. [-] cannon. It takes an average of six or seven days to manufacture one. It is basically impossible to mass-produce it. "Li Jing also added comforting words.

"So, this cannon is just a tasteless one?" Yuchi Jingde's enthusiasm was extinguished a lot immediately. If the production speed is so slow, when will he have to wait to equip the whole army?With this skill, it's better to use those steels to make more Mingguang armor and Mo Dao.

Su Dingfang disagreed with his point of view, saying: "You can't say that. Although the current production speed of this cannon is not fast, as long as we continue to develop it, we can always find a way to speed up the production speed."

"In any case, we must protect the cannon in our barracks now, so that what happened last night must not happen again."

"Don't worry about this, commander, I have already arranged it."

"Report!!!!" Su Dingfang's words were interrupted by the soldier who reported the letter, and a soldier rushed in quickly: "Report to the Marshal, Chang Shi led a group of people to pull the Thunder God Cannon away."

"What?" Li Jing and the three stood up suddenly, and asked in a cold voice: "Didn't I give an order? Anyone is not allowed to use the cannon?"

"You guys said it, but but..." Xiao Bing waited for a while, and finally had the courage to say Li Zhen's words: "But Mr. Chang Shi said that the cannon is his personal property. You can’t touch other people’s personal belongings, right? What’s more, the cannon is made of steel, polished and bright, without a hair on it, so your order, Commander-in-Chief, is untenable.”

"Pfft!" Su Dingfang and Yuchi Jingde next to him immediately sprayed when they heard this.

Li Jing's complexion also instantly turned purple. At this moment, he actually had the urge to hang up his seal and leave.

After holding back "ridiculous" for a long time, Li Jing finally choked out these two words.

"Marshal, this is what Master Changshi said, and everything the villain said is true." Xiaobing thought it was the calm before the storm, and immediately knelt down in fright.

"It's none of your business, get up." Su Dingfang managed to hold back his laugh, got the soldier up, and asked, "Where did Lord Chang Shi take the cannon?"

"I heard from him that he is going to test the guns in the school grounds." The small school replied truthfully.

"Don't ask so many questions, why don't we go and have a look?" Yuchi Jingde was impatient, and he jumped out of the handsome tent as he spoke. Li Jing and Su Dingfang looked at each other and quickly followed. To be honest, they still I have never seen a scene where a cannon is fired.

There is still a distance from the school grounds to the commander's tent. Fortunately, the speed of the cannon is not fast. When they arrived, the cannon had just arrived. Li Zhenzheng had finished introducing the structure of the cannon and was preparing to demonstrate the first step of shooting, calibration.

"Now, the teaching officially begins." Li Zhen, wearing a modified version of the military uniform (not armor, but civilian clothes similar to uniforms), holding a short stick in his hand, pointed at the cannon behind him and shouted.

In front of him were dozens of 20-year-old soldiers who were listening attentively. These 60 people were selected by Li Zhen and Fang Du as confidantes.Among them, Li Zhen's people were selected from the personal guards and blood dragon guards, a total of 30 people, and Fang Du's people were selected from their own family soldiers, a family of fifteen.

"The first step is to lock the cannon, and the second is to calibrate, Li Ergou, come up and demonstrate for me." Calibrating the cannon is also very laborious, and Li Zhen has no plans to do it himself.

"Yes." Li Ergou immediately came out.

"Everyone also come over to watch how Li Ergou demonstrates."

"Hula." Everyone gathered around, not only the sixty reserve artillerymen, but also other spectators. At this moment, there were already many people gathered in the arena, and Li Jing and the other three also came at this time. .

No matter who came, Li Zhen just talked about herself: "Everyone, look out, the deadbolt switch is this door bolt, as long as you insert the door bolt, you can lock the wheel of the cannon, and the wheel can no longer move. Needless to say, you can see it at a glance. The next step is calibration. Calibration is to improve the accuracy of the cannon. Finished, the movement of the gun barrel is divided into up and down movement and left and right movement. Now I will explain the left and right movement. If you want to shake the barrel from side to side, you have to shake here. Forward rotation is to the right, and reverse is to the left. Li Ergou, please demonstrate .”

"It's Your Highness, how do you turn forward and reverse?" Li Ergou happily agreed, but he was at a loss when he actually got started.

"You're so stupid, you can't tell the difference between forward and reverse, and you can't tell left and right?" Li Zhen is so angry, isn't she too stupid?Can't you try it yourself?

"Yes, I understand." Fortunately, Li Ergou is not the kind of person who is so stupid that he immediately understood Li Zhen's meaning, and immediately took the handle and shook it vigorously. Sure enough, it moved slowly to the right.

"Hey, it really moved."

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"It's very simple, there is a mechanism there."

"Then tell me what institution it is?"

"how could I know?"

"cut!"

""

The surrounding audience is also talking about it, only knowing it but not knowing why.

Li Zhen doesn't care whether they know the principle or not, it should be taught in the artillery repair and maintenance center, and now they can't even fire a cannon, so what maintenance and repair is taught?

"Okay, Li Ergou, you go down, everyone come up to feel, and then talk about your feelings."

"Hey, it really has a lot of weight. I can't shake it if I don't have any strength in my hand." The first person quickly expressed his feelings.

"Whichever direction the gun barrel turns, it can be shaken in that direction." The second person also expressed his understanding.

"Well, everything else is okay, but the crank handle is a bit stuck, I think it would be better to add some oil."

""

With Li Zhen's encouragement, everyone turned from being cautious at the beginning to speaking enthusiastically.Some put forward their own suggestions, some expressed their own feelings, and some expressed their own understanding, etc. After all sixty people tried it, the atmosphere in the venue obviously relaxed a lot.

"The next step is to shake up and down. Shaking up and down is the same as shaking left and right, but the handle is different, Li Ergou." Li Zhen is very satisfied with the atmosphere in the field, entertaining and entertaining, in a relaxed atmosphere Only teaching can make students progress faster.

"Yes." Li Ergou stood up and demonstrated again.

"Let's feel it again." The sixty people went through it again, and everyone had an intuitive feeling about the basic calibration of the cannon.

"The most basic calibration has been learned, now I will teach everyone how to shoot."

In fact, how can the calibration of cannons be so easy to learn?

To accurately calibrate a cannon, you need to be able to read a ruler, right?

You have to be able to calculate ballistics, right?
