Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 79 The Elm Cannon
After a night of dressing.

Still with Karama as the vanguard, the Black Banner Army engulfed more than 300 captives and asked them to walk in the forefront to explore the way. If anyone escaped, they would be shot on the spot.

The captives were in a daze, and most of them didn't understand the origin of the Black Banner Army either before or after they were attacked.

I'm just surprised that the Qing Dynasty still has this spare time to send such a large army to exterminate them?
It wasn't until he was able to listen carefully to the exchanges between the Black Banner Army when he was coerced, that he realized that this army did not belong to the Qing Dynasty! ?

And the purpose of this army to coerce them is to drive them to attack the city together! ?

Attack Ninguta! ?

Immediately, after being captured, they barely ate a full meal, and they were in an uproar.

They are familiar with this routine!
Many of them were originally escaped cannon fodder.

Now that he was caught, although he had already prepared the worst expectations, who would have thought that he would soon become cannon fodder!Still the cannon fodder for the siege!

"Oh!"

But before the commotion broke out, there was only a muffled sound from the rear of the Black Banner Army, passing through the densely marching queue to the captives, and each of them immediately quieted down and looked back as far as the Black Banner Army.

"Oh!"

After a while, there was another muffled sound.

The captives suddenly became more honest.

Cannon.

That's fine.

Among the rear troops of the Black Banner Army, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the horse, looked disappointedly at the elm wood that was broken into pieces and still smoking in the distance.

Although it is indeed feasible, the power is somewhat unsatisfactory.

And without the iron hoop, this weapon, which has no durability at all, is really a disposable item.

As a result of the first attempt, it was OK to click once, but it was scrapped if I tried to click twice, and sawdust flew all over the sky.

It is also time-consuming and labor-intensive to manufacture, like the projectile crater.

But there are also many advantages.

The cost is almost nothing, and the main material is only elm piles.

Relying on the tenacity of elm wood, take the shortest elm wood stakes that are more than seven feet wide and half a foot and hollow them out. After drilling the lead holes, take iron hoops and wrap them tightly around the periphery for several times.

There is no technical content in making it.

When in use, take gunpowder and place it at the bottom, and then place crushed stones, broken iron, stone bombs, waste glass and the like to ignite and stimulate.

This is the determination, wisdom and tenacity of the working people to resist: the elm cannon.

"Click it a few more times to see how likely it is to explode the first time. Sanshui, you can also see if the difference between the woods has any effect on the number of times the elm cannon can be used."

"Whoo!"

Zhu Youjian gave an order, and several guards in Jinyi non-stop destroyed the few elm cannons that had been dug out with great difficulty in a day and night.

This is new to tribal warriors.

Just watching Wu'erte wave his hand, the wood that was cut for no idea of ​​its use continued to explode under the fiddling of several Wu'erte's followers, spewing out waves of thunder and fire!Hit the crackling wood chips and bark of the target tree!
Immediately, it was like setting off fireworks in the rear army, and it rang for a long time.

It wasn't until the five new elm cannons were all broken that Zhu Youjian nodded slightly.

The elm cannon is in front of you. Although the effect is not satisfactory, it is worth using.

An elm cannon without an iron hoop can be fired up to three times, at least once, but considering that the stability of this thing is almost non-existent, and the possibility of exploding if it is not released is very high, so the shooter should stay away as soon as possible after igniting. good.

Of course, according to the description in Zhu Youjian's memory, even if the iron hoop is put on the elm cannon, its service life is estimated to be only extended from one to three rounds to one to ten rounds.

And its power is naturally not comparable to conventional artillery. If you really want to talk about it, this thing is a large disposable shotgun. Don't even think about it being used to blow up walls and houses.

But as long as you look at the trees that are riddled with holes and bruised by the gravel blasted out by elm wood, you will know that this thing is still very exciting for people at close range.

Simple and crude.

The power is acceptable.

There are no manufacturing costs.

Great for wildling Jurchens who don't have any experience with firearms!
Wildlings needn't think about anything.

range?

precision?

The only thing the savage Jurchens need to know is that I thought about digging a hole in this thing, stuffing gunpowder in it and putting some gravel in it, and then I can bang bang bang bang at the enemy!

"Let's add another five knots to make it whole. You can pick whatever you want for the rear army, and the supervisor will find a way to dig out these two hundred knots of elm into elm cannons, and try to have them on hand when our army arrives at Ninggu Tower." There are at least fifty elm cannons available."

"Whoo!"

Jiao Boqing knelt down and said hello, Zhu Youjian immediately waved his hands and shouted: "Let's go! I'll show you enough when the city of Jiannu is captured! Xiangjian! Tell Jialama to stop after another fifty miles! Logging on the spot is ready. Forge siege equipment!"

"Whoo!"

All the tribe soldiers in the rear army were shouted by Zhu Youjian, and they happily responded with two shouts.

They have seen the power of the elm cannon, and they feel that Wuerte has become more and more powerful, and even a piece of wood can become a magic weapon.

At this time, Ning Guta City also received the news that the army was marching towards him.

Although it is a little small, but as a serious military town, Ninggu Tower has all the personnel that should be there.

Because the place is barren and dangerous, the outposts are all scattered around the city, but the patrol personnel still wander around on weekdays.

The 3000-strong army, moving without cover, will naturally be discovered.

But the problem is.

The sentinels of Ninggu Tower, like the people in the exile settlement, were unable to accurately identify the source of this army.

Korean?
But they wear the same armor as our Qing Dynasty, all of which are Ming-style armors. Zhu Youjian didn't bother to let all the members of the Black Banner Army dye their armors black before leaving. Naturally, there are colorful and everything.

But let’s say that we belong to the Qing Dynasty, and there is no such thing as a banner and honor guard to show the leader or the affiliation of the army when marching in our own territory.

Ming dynasty?

joke!

Daming's army can now come to Ningguta! ?

I, Ning Gutajiala Ezhen Guarja Xingjia, ate the newly exiled armored slaves on the spot!

It's not North Korea, it's not our own people, it's not Ming.

Who could it be?
For a moment, Guarja Xingjia thought of a piece of news that had recently reached Ningguta.

It is said that a tribe of savages from the old forest gathered together and ran out of the old forest. Taking advantage of the time when the main force of Niulu went south, they robbed them all!

On the way, there was Yijia Laer who really wanted to lead an army to crusade, but was forced to come out in the end!
Could it be possible! ?

Thinking of this, Xingjia hastily made arrangements.

Ask the sentry cavalry to see if there are any savages in that army, and how much savages account for.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered that the sentry had reported that the army was marching towards Ninggu Tower, and he hurriedly prepared his soldiers for battle, and at the same time sent those exiles who were scattered around Ningguta City They were all summoned to serve as cannon fodder during the battle.

He also quickly prepared the news that the unknown army had appeared near Ninggu Tower. As long as the other side showed any hostile intentions, this letter would rush to Shengjing thousands of miles away.

After all, this is the first time that Ningguta is facing the threat of being attacked, so be careful!
