Summon players, rebuild Dawei

After discussing with Yin Yunying about the formation of a spy agency that morning, Jiang Shu had an early lunch, and then drove out of the mansion to go to an open space in the suburbs of Miryang far away from the crowds to watch the test of the new firearm, the Thunderbolt Cannon.

When they arrived at the test site, Zhang Zifang had arranged for his students to build two heavy weapons for firing thunderbolt cannons, which were improved large bed crossbows and trebuchets.

Seeing him coming, Zhang Zifang introduced the function of Thunderbolt Cannon to him.

"It's mainly the function of explosion and combustion, but the lethality of this kind of shell alone is too weak, so I added fragments and filled it with barbed caltrops to try out the specific attack effect."

Jiang Shu nodded, saw the two launching devices on the scene, and asked, "What's the difference between the bed crossbow and the trebuchet in use?"

"Generally, bed crossbows are enough for city defense. For siege or water battle, you need this kind of giant trebuchet, which can be thrown high and far." Zhang Zifang replied first, and then chatted, "Didn't Zhu Ming Let me build a cannon to fight Qingzhou? It is not that simple to build a cannon. Our little steel and copper are not enough for this thing to consume, but this thunderbolt cannon can be used. If there is a water or sea battle in the future, the equipment on the ship Get this thing, that power..."

Just as he was talking, a man who looked very young came over and saluted: "My lord, Fangzhu, the equipment has been prepared, and the test can begin."

Zhang Zifang nodded and said, "Okay, you and Han Chun are in charge of commanding, pay attention to safety."

"Yes."

The first thing to do is the unignited live ammunition projection, so as to determine the respective range and impact range of the two launchers to ensure the safety of personnel during the actual launch.

After the range recording is completed, simulated baffles and dummies will be placed in the corresponding places to start the real ignition test.

The first test is bed crossbow launch.

The structure of the large bed crossbow improved by Zhang Zifang is far more complicated than ordinary ones. It has the advantages of long range and high accuracy. The only inconvenience is that ten people are required to pull and launch it.

Because the test is flammable and explosive, except for the operator, other people on the scene must stay away from the transmitter. Jiang Shu can only stand hundreds of meters away to watch.

The ammunition was loaded into the bed crossbow, and with the fuse ignited, the thunderbolt shot into the distance with an order, and landed on the baffle accurately. Two seconds later, it exploded with a bright flame and violent noise.

Even though he was several hundred meters away, at the moment when the ammunition exploded, Jiang Shu still felt a shock in his heart, and his whole body was shocked. He stared at the white smoke rising in the distance for a while, until he was patted by Zhang Zifang on the shoulder. , Only then did he recover.

After the white smoke receded and the scene returned to calm, Zhang Zifang took him to check the scene of the explosion.

Generally speaking, the effect of the explosion was quite good. The baffle was charred black and torn apart, and the surrounding plaster dummies were also covered with fragments and caltrops.

If it was a real person, at this moment, limbs and legs are probably broken, and flesh and blood are flying everywhere. At least people within two meters from the explosion point will definitely not survive.

Jiang Shu felt that this kind of lethality was already very powerful, but Zhang Zifang was not so satisfied. After checking the scene, he said: "It is easy to explode a wooden baffle, but if it is a solid city wall, it will not be able to explode unless it is thrown accurately. Just fell into the crowd.

"It's said to be an explosive firearm. In fact, the lethality mainly depends on the fragments inside. Without these caltrops, it's almost like setting off a firecracker for the enemy."

Jiang Shu felt that he was a little too modest. As far as the violence of the thunderbolt cannon exploded, no firecracker could compare with it. What's more, it was born in this era before even fireworks. Vi hit.

Just as he was about to express his point of view, Zhang Zifang smiled and said, "But it's about the same. In a short period of time, this thing is enough to scare the group of barbarians. It's better to wait until we have money to make it again."

So Jiang Shu held back words of comfort.

After that came the launch test of the trebuchet.

As far as the launch effect is concerned, the range of the trebuchet is not as good as that of the bed crossbow, but it does throw higher than the bed crossbow, which is more suitable for siege.

When seeing the black thunderbolt shell being thrown high and falling into the scene of violent explosion in the simulated enemy's position again, Jiang Shu still felt a shock in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the others. Except for Zhang Zifang, including the personnel who operated the launch equipment, everyone looked at the explosion site with a hint of awe in their eyes.

When people face such a lethal firearm, they will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Even the people who made these weapons are still afraid of such a scene. When the Thunderbolt Cannon is really used on the battlefield, its effect can be imagined.

After checking the test results with Zhang Zifang, Jiang Shu asked, "How much is this Thunderbolt Cannon in stock?"

"Not many, because it is still in the testing stage. A total of [-] pieces have been produced. After I go back today, I will improve it according to the test results." Zhang Zifang replied, and then he seemed to see what he wanted to do, and added, "The current raw materials It’s not bad enough, if you need it urgently, if the weapon workshop can produce it at full capacity, it will be more than enough to produce a hundred pieces in seven days.”

Jiang Shu nodded, and said in a low voice: "The general has been planning to attack Miankou County recently. If he can use this thunderbolt cannon to deter the enemy during the siege, it will surely help him."

"Okay, I will start to arrange it when I get back." Zhang Zifang responded bluntly, smiled and said: "If this cotton mouth can be taken down, Zhu Ming will be very happy. He has been thinking about the copper mine for a long time, oh yes, Since it is near the sea, can Yantian be included in the plan?"

Jiang Shu is not as optimistic as him, now that Xie Yin has gone to the enemy camp, even if Bu Jingyun can take down Miankou, the court is uncertain after all, so he just calmly said: "This matter needs to be discussed after taking down Miankou .”

·

It's getting closer to night, and the twilight is all together.

A masked team in black was ambushing in the valley jungle.

"Baby Ling is the same. He needs a group of us to help him with his mission, so I have to work overtime to play a game." Blue Dragon complained in a low voice.

"Damn, teammate," said Shangguan Feidao who was squatting on a tree branch and was in charge of watching, "Besides, it's everyone's responsibility to protect Xie Meiren, right?"

"Don't tell me, this kind of job of giving away human heads is quite suitable for our Flying Eagles team," Lan Long babbled, "If it weren't for Xie Meiren's original plan, he didn't have many songs in the first place. It's a pity for the place, even though it's a free help, it's better to take the opportunity to bring those newcomers to the four tests to exercise, so as not to go to the battlefield and they won't even be able to hold a knife."

After all, Lan Long glanced at the time, and frowned anxiously: "It's just too slow, can you make it faster, or I'm afraid I won't be able to go to work in time..."

While complaining, Shangguan Feidao suddenly let out a "shh", raised his neck and looked at the road in the valley for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly to Lanlong: "Here we come."

Blue Dragon's expression suddenly became serious, and he sent a message in the temporarily formed assassination group: [Everyone is ready, listen to my order to attack, pay attention, Xie Meiren and Ling Baobao are also in the team, don't hurt your own people. 】

A four-test player replied: [Then if I really succeeded in assassinating the boss, I should be fine, right? 】

[Blue Dragon: You can give it a try, if you can really kill that Prince Murong, I'll call you Big Brother. 】

[Shangguan Feidao: Stop chatting, the target is here. 】

Shangguan Feidao stared closely at the team in the valley, and when the leading cavalry entered the valley, he gestured towards the blue dragon.

Blue Dragon stood up slowly, and as soon as he saw the carriage protected in the middle of the team, he quickly pulled out his long knife, raised the knife and shouted: "Brothers, get on!"

After the words fell, the masked assassination team headed by Lanlong rushed out of the forest aggressively.

This team was small and concealed, and the scouts who were going forward to explore the way could not find it. Now they suddenly rushed into the valley when it was getting dark, and cut down anyone they saw, which really caused a riot in the army.

"Kill! Kill the prince!"

"Ahh, there are so many little monsters with red names!"

"The prince is in the carriage, go!"

"Come and clear a wave of soldiers, otherwise you won't be able to rush in!"

"Damn, four tests follow me, don't rush around like crazy!"

Murong Xuan and Xie Min were riding in the same carriage, when they suddenly heard people shouting horses from outside, they felt panic in their hearts, quickly raised the bamboo curtain of the back door of the carriage and asked loudly what happened to the captain of the guards outside.

"I encountered an ambush on the road ahead. There are not many people, and it will be resolved soon. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Having said that, Murong Qing was still extremely flustered and frightened when he heard the shouts of "kill the prince" and watched those masked killers fighting with the army hand-to-hand with snow-white long knives.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when the city of Shengying was broken. He fled like a lamb being chased and killed by a group of wolves. The only thing that could give him a sense of security was the guards around the carriage.

Fortunately, in this crisis, there are indeed not many enemy soldiers in ambush.

Seeing the men in black fall down one by one, Murong Ming gradually calmed down, and ordered to the captain of the soldiers: "Quickly get rid of this group of people!"

Just as the captain of the bodyguard was about to respond, he turned around and suddenly noticed a feathered arrow shot from the forest, shooting straight at the carriage.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

When Murong Qing heard the sound, he hid in the carriage, the next moment, he saw a feathered arrow shot through the bamboo curtain, and nailed deeply to the wooden board of the carriage.

He stared at the arrow with wide eyes, his heart beating like thunder.

These people really came for him, and he was almost killed by this arrow!

Frightened and frightened, unbearable anger surged up in his chest, Murong Xuan pulled out the feathered arrow on the door panel and threw it on the ground, then turned his head to look at Xie Min, seeing that the other party was still calm and composed, For no reason, I felt a wave of anger flooding my mind.

"Xie Sheren is so calm and fearless, could it be that this ambush came to save you?"

Xie Yin glanced at him indifferently, and said: "His Highness's return to Datong City is a temporary decision. Even if someone wants to save me, how can he know His Highness's actions in advance and lie in ambush here?"

Knowing that what he said was reasonable, Murong Qing, who was filled with anger in his heart, was unwilling to forgive him: "Of course you secretly sent a letter to tell me."

Xie Yin just raised one corner of his mouth and smiled perfunctorily.

Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Murong Qing was sure that this matter had nothing to do with him, but the anger in his heart couldn't subside for a while, until after a period of time, the sound of fighting outside stopped completely, and the captain of the guards reported outside: " Your Highness, including the hidden archers, all the ambush soldiers have been wiped out."

Hearing that the archer was dead, Murong Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to get out of the carriage, so he sat in it and said, "Find out who did it."

"promise."

After a while, the captain of the personal army handed over a blood-stained letter into the carriage: "This subordinate found this thing on the archer, and the archer should be the leader of the ambush."

Murong Qing took the letter and opened it. As soon as he saw the writing on it, he frowned, and after reading the contents of the letter, his hands trembled with anger.

Xie Yin watched his expression, and asked with concern: "Who did it?"

Murong Qing slowly squeezed the letter into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "It's my good second brother!"

"Second Highness?" Xie Min showed doubts: "Is there any misunderstanding in this, if Second Highness sends his subordinates to assassinate His Highness, if it fails, wouldn't there be a reason?"

"You're right, so the person he sent wasn't his at all!" Murong Qing unfolded the crumpled letter paper, pointed at the words on the letter angrily, and said, "There is no misunderstanding, this is a letter written by Murong Feng himself to Duan Shi Xianbei's letter, I can clearly read his handwriting, there is no fake!

"I knew that he had a connection with Duan's Xianbei, and I knew that he wanted to get rid of me, but I thought that at least when my father was around, he would restrain himself, but I didn't expect..."

Xie Yin didn't make a sound.

"He wants to kill me, I will never let him do what he wants." Murong Qing muttered to himself, then turned his head to confirm: "Xie Sheren, are you really on my side?"

Xie Yin was silent for a while, and said in a helpless tone: "As long as you don't go to war with Wei Guo, I will make suggestions for His Highness and assist His Highness to take the position."

"Okay," Murong Qing stared at him and said, "Remember what you said today."
