The pleasant spring breeze blows the spring water on the lake, and also cuts out the new buds on the shore. April is the season for germination. The warm smile reflected in the eyes of the potter girl, like spring water flowing into her heart, allowing the seeds of longing to germinate.

Taliyah beamed with joy. She took a step forward and hugged Shirault's growing body tightly. Then, she raised her head slightly, her bright eyes like water, her gentle eyes stayed on the young man's face, and she did not want to leave for a moment.

Shirott stood silently, feeling unspeakable. His body froze at first, and he stretched his arms slightly, subconsciously trying to break free from his embrace. Immediately, he felt Talaia's clinging attachment and saw her affectionate eyes. The young man couldn't bear to be hurt, and he also had inner love, so he could only sigh and focus on the business.

"Talaia, how's the gunpowder making going?"

"His Royal Highness, the female workers have mastered the skills of preparing gunpowder. The complete set of wooden tools and operation steps have been recorded. As long as the three raw materials are sufficient, they can be prepared in large quantities at any time."

Shulott nodded. The original black powder is not resistant to storage and transportation. Once it is placed for a long time or bumped, the three raw materials are often layered up and down. Therefore, teenagers are more inclined to store raw materials, deploy them temporarily, and use gunpowder weapons as soon as possible after they are made.

"Has the development of new gunpowder been fruitful?" Shirot asked gently.

"His Royal Highness, I tried adding different raw materials, and roughly grasped the combustion and explosion effects of different gunpowder ratios. But I haven't found any clues about the crucial step you mentioned."

Taliyah's eyes dimmed slightly, and there was a bit of remorse on her face.

Shilott smiled softly. If there is no clue from God, technology development will always be slow. The improvement of gunpowder cannot be accomplished in a short time.

"Talaia, don't worry. Take your time, pay attention to safety... The three gunpowder weapons I ordered, how did the experiment go?"

Talaia smiled again. She nodded vigorously, let go of her embrace reluctantly, and regained her ability to manage things with gunpowder.

"His Royal Highness, the vertical rocket can be put into actual combat. The pottery bristle is very unstable, the ignition is very dangerous, and it has injured many civilians. The sound of the wooden cannon firing is very loud and very scary. once."

Hearing the accident of the explosion, Shiloh looked solemn. He looked at the thin and thin face of the potter girl, and was a little worried. The boy stretched out his hand and took Taliyah's plain hand. He felt the slightly hard calluses that began to appear in the palm of his smooth hand, so he clenched it tightly and said softly.

"Talaia, don't personally participate in the configuration of gunpowder... Take me to the site of the weapon experiment, and I'll see the specific effect."

Talia nodded happily. The two walked together, and under the protection of the surrounding warriors, they soon came to a wide flat ground. There are many straw figures stuck in the flat ground, and some are also wearing cotton and leather armor, and there are distance marks on the ground.

The weapon craftsmen who participated in the research and development have been waiting for a long time. The potter girl gave a few meticulous instructions, and then a large group of civilians followed the order and carefully brought out the three weapons, which were displayed by the craftsmen.

The finished product of the vertical rocket is not much different from the ordinary war arrow. It is just at the back of the arrow, tied with a spherical paper gunpowder pack, which is filled with more than 20 taels of gunpowder. The craftsmen ignited the fuse of the powder pack with flint, then pulled a Tlaxcala bow, mounted a rocket, and shot it hard.

The rocket was loaded with powder packs, nearly doubling its weight. Its speed is not fast, it crossed an obvious arc and landed next to the straw man more than 20 meters away. The crowd watched with bated breath, and after only three or four seconds, the rocket burst into a bright flame. In an instant, the flames rose up, quickly igniting the grass man, and the smoke also drifted away. The intense flames lasted for two seconds, then became significantly weaker, and burned steadily on the grass man.

Shilot estimated in his heart that after reducing the proportion of soil nitrate, the burning time of gunpowder was significantly longer. He looked at the distance of the grass figurines, and instructed the warrior chief not far away.

"Arrange twenty warriors with long bows."

Bertard nodded in agreement. After a while, twenty samurai armed with long bows stood in a row. They looked at the vertical rocket in their hands with some fear, then ignited it carefully, quickly wound the arrow, and shot a little flat and aimed at the arrow.

I saw twenty vertical rockets traversing trajectories of different heights, scattered between fifty and one hundred meters. The weighted arrows have only a noticeable reduction in range, but still maintain solid accuracy in the hands of skilled archers. Then, the rockets exploded a bunch of flames one after another, igniting the nearby grass figurines, like fireworks blooming in the daytime. Soon, the rising smoke spread in the weapon field with a pungent breath, like the breath of a mythical spirit. After a while, the venue was already full of flames.

Xiulott silently calculated the different speeds at which the rocket ignited, and the deviation was within a few seconds. It seemed that the quality of the fuse was indeed uneven. He ordered a long shot again.

The longbow warriors fired their arrows again, switching to a high angle upward shot. This time, the speed of the vertical rocket's horizontal movement was reduced, and it crossed an elongated arc and fell into about 100 to 150 meters. Many rockets exploded in mid-air, like skyfire falling from the sky. The accuracy of the rocket has been greatly reduced, and many have deviated from the target, burning in the corners away from the grass man.

After observing for a moment, Shulot let the samurai shoot several times at different distances, and had a rough plan for the use of vertical rockets. The stable firing range of the rocket should be within 100 meters, with satisfactory accuracy around 50 meters. On sloshing water, that distance should decrease further. In order to increase the power of burning, the charge of the gunpowder pack can continue to increase, as long as the precise shooting of fifty meters can be maintained.

Shirot nodded in satisfaction. He shook Talaia's hand and praised.

"Talaia, you've done a good job. This rocket can be mass-customized, it's called a 'light rocket'. Also. I need you to double the gunpowder in the paper bag to make a The 50-meter-long 'heavy rocket' is used as a weapon to ignite the boat. Currently, these two are customized."

Talaia nodded happily. Immediately, she hesitated.

"His Royal Highness, Tao tribulus is a little unstable, is it also being tested today? Maybe after a while, it can be developed more maturely..."

Sherlot said with certainty.

"I'm about to go out, there's not much time to wait, let them start!"

Soon, following His Highness's order, under the pressure of the warriors' fighting sticks, a row of ten civilians stood more than ten meters apart, fighting between two groups. With their faces full of fear, they picked up the pottery tribulus that weighed six or seven pounds and stared at the yellowish black spiked ball, which was a symbol of death.

Shulot thought for a while, and asked the civilians to put on cotton armor. Then, the young man looked at the fuse that lit the pottery tribulus terrestris, as if pressing the countdown to death, and waved his arms with all his strength to throw the heavy pottery tribulus terrestris out.

"Boom!..." Before one of the civilians threw the pottery caltrop in his hand, the thorny ball exploded in an instant, and countless fragments suddenly shot out. As if smashed by a giant's heavy hammer, the civilian man flew two steps backwards, and then fell to the ground spurting blood, dying instantly. With the power of black gunpowder in this era, he did not shatter his body.

Hearing the sound, Xiulote looked over and felt a chill in his heart. The man's face was scorched black, his body was burning with flames, and there were dense fine wounds and countless ceramic fragments stuck in the place. His arms and limbs were twisted and separated, like a shattered and broken doll, and the blood under his body was like a spring, and it was gradually evaporated and dried by the flames.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The sound of continuous explosions kept coming, like the roar of Thor in the world. The longbow warriors turned pale in horror, and took a few steps back in fear, and the battle sticks and bows and arrows fell silently from their hands. Many warriors fell to their knees in fear, praying loudly to the Lord God, asking the almighty Lord God to come and drive away the roaring demons.

Shulot swept his gaze and saw two civilian husbands rolling and struggling on the ground. Their pottery tribulus threw only six or seven steps away, still within the effective killing range. The fragments of the explosion didn't break their cotton armor, but they shot one man in the eye and scratched another man's neck. Soon, the man whose neck was bleeding was paralyzed and motionless.

"Boom! Boom!..." There were two more explosions. The pottery tribulus exploded at the grass figurine more than ten steps away. Within three steps, the grass figurine's leather armor was broken and completely shattered. Within five steps, the straw man's cotton armor was broken and inlaid with many sharp fragments. At about seven steps, the straw man's cotton armor defended all the fragments, but was shaken back and forth by the air waves.

Shilott counted the explosions. He frowned and looked carefully, there were two duds in front of him. The young man glanced at him, ignoring the civilian husband whose hands and feet were limp and howling on his knees, and looked at some of the warriors who were still able to maintain their composure.

"This is a weapon given to us by the Lord God, so don't be afraid! Come two warriors, hold up two layers of shields, and put on two layers of cotton armor. Douse the two unexploded pottery brittles with water, and be careful to cover your head and neck with shields."

After a while, two warriors emerged from the warriors. Sherlot secretly took note of their appearance. Two warriors, fully equipped, with water bottles and shields, cautiously approached the spiked orb.

Just when they were about to start processing, there was another "Boom!...", and a loud explosion came, shaking everyone's heartstrings.

Shulot looked in awe, and saw a samurai being knocked to the ground by a close-range explosion. The boy quickly commanded the rescue and brought the fallen samurai back to the side.

Afterwards, Shulot looked carefully, and one side of the samurai's double-layered shield was completely burst, and the other side was embedded with dense fragments. A few fragments penetrated the shield and got stuck on the cotton armor. The wooden shield was burning with flames, but fortunately the cotton armor did not ignite. The guards checked carefully, and there was no wound or blood on the warrior's body. It's just that his foot was sprained, his head was shaken and dizzy, and he couldn't stand up at all.

In the observation room, another warrior had returned with the extinguished pottery caltrops, and threw the spiked ball into the pool prepared next to it.

Shirott praised him with a smile, asked his name, and wrote it down in his mind. Then, the boy continued to think, shaking his head.

"One of the ten pottery brittles exploded early, and two were duds. The remaining seven exploded at different times. The biggest problem was that there was no stable pulling tube. The quality of the fuse for ignition was unstable, and it was necessary to give the grenadiers to the grenadiers. Equipped with a slow-burning matcha specially designed for ignition.”

Thinking of this, Shulot sighed. This is still a test field that has no enemies and can stably ignite. If it is on the battlefield, this weapon is a bomb that can explode at any time, and can only be used by warriors who are determined to die.

"The grenadier must be tall and strong. The effective throwing distance is more than ten meters to more than twenty meters. The killing distance without armor is within seven steps, and the killing distance with cotton armor is within five steps. If facing a shield, the explosion must be within three steps. Within. The sound of the explosion can greatly deter the enemy and severely damage the enemy's morale."

Shilot shook his head in his heart. In his opinion, the power of this most primitive grenade is very limited. However, Bertard and many warriors were already full of awe, looking at the spiky ball like a fetish, this is the power of the gods!

"It takes a long time to prepare, ignite, and throw pottery caltrops. To avoid enemy attacks, the throwing distance is also very close, and it is the best for dense formations... It seems that the occasions where this weapon exerts its greatest power is not Field battles are instead siege battles, handed over to decisive warriors!"

The young man thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately, he nodded with a smile and looked at the people who were revered as gods.

"continue!"

With the cooperation of several civilians, a crude copper hoop wooden gun was transported to the center of the site. There were people who had dug up the earth to build the earth platform for shooting, and used the wooden frame to fix the wooden gun. Then, under the command of the craftsmen, the villagers clumsily filled the gun barrels with gunpowder.

In front of the Highness, the craftsmen only filled eight catties of crude black powder, and they dared not fill it up. Then they put a dozen pounds of stones into the muzzle to draw a fuse, then sealed the muzzle with cotton, and aimed at the straw man fifty paces away.

Shuluo nodded. The teenager hugged Taliyah's arm and pulled her back seventy or eighty steps. Then twenty samurai warriors held up their shields and stacked a three-layered shield array in front of them~www.readwn.com~ His Highness ordered the fire to fire.

After a long breath, there was only a loud "bang", and then another "crash".

Xiulote strode out from behind the shield formation, only to see the wooden cannon bounced back a few steps, and all the people around were crouching on the ground, praying in fear. Fifty steps away, a plume of smoke splashed up, and the grass figurines in the experimental field had disappeared. When the smoke dissipated, the boy took a few steps forward, and he saw the grass figurines who had been knocked down and scattered, the stones densely embedded in the soil on the ground, and the leather armor that was torn like a sieve.

Sherlot paced from the center of the densest pebbles, judging the dispersion of the shot ammunition. Afterwards, he ordered the warriors to erect wooden frames, place many shields at fifty to one hundred meters, and then proceed to fire test fires.

The repeated bombardment was accompanied by a terrifying explosion, like the roar of the wild beast in mythology, shaking the hearts of all samurai. This is the weapon of the gods in mythology, and it is a giant beast raised by the gods!

In Shilot's view, this kind of wooden cannon is more like a terrifying firecracker. Within 100 meters, the target without armor can be killed to a certain extent, and the cotton armor can be killed within 50 meters. In the face of a warrior with a shield and armor, it is necessary to approach 30 meters in order to generate enough power. The firing speed of the wooden cannon is extremely slow, the fire is fixed, and it is cleaned, inspected and reset. And after more than ten rounds were fired, the craftsmen hurried in to say that there might be a danger of blowing up. As for the accurate head of the wooden cannon, it can only maintain the general direction, and it is normal to deviate from it by more than ten meters.

Looking at these new gunpowder weapons, Shilot was dissatisfied for a long time, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"It's time to surprise Avit!"

Shulot turned his hands behind his back and looked at the palace in the northern capital from a distance. Behind him are the admiring maidens, the loyal warriors, and the people kneeling in awe.
