Chapter 205 Grenade and Heartless Cannon

Lin Cunde took Shi Heng and the others, as well as the commander of the three martial arts guards, to the testing site.

Shi Heng and Xu Xianyong didn't know what Lin Cunde was going to do, but seeing the excitement of the three commanders, they were also curious about what made the three of them so excited.

Seeing how excited they were, Lin Cunde asked with a smile: "Why are you so excited? You haven't tried it, have you? I didn't hear the explosion?"

One of the commanders smiled and waved his hand and said: "I haven't tried it, but we know that this thing is probably very powerful. We have been making firearms all year round, so we can still estimate it to some extent, but we don't know how powerful it is!"

"Well, it's quite powerful!" Lin Cunde nodded.

Soon they arrived at the testing site.

Lin Cunde asked them to arrange some targets and some scarecrows at the testing site, and then found something to fix the grenade, and tied the string with a rope to connect it far away.

They hid in a rammed earth house. Seeing that they were ready, Lin Cunde pulled the rope fiercely and started counting in his mind. When he counted to seven, there was a bang, which shocked everyone.

Lin Cunde himself was shocked, but he was also a little excited and looking forward to it.

Lin Cunde quickly came out of the earth-ramming house to deal with it and saw the straw and targets at the test site swaying here and there.

Shi Heng and the others were also very curious and followed Lin Cunde to the testing site quickly.

Lin Cunde arrived at the testing site and saw that the scarecrows had been cut into holes by shrapnel. Especially the closer they were, the more holes they had been cut, while the ones far away were just a few scattered ones. The same was true for the targets. Lin Cunde After visual inspection, it is estimated that the effective explosion range will not be less than ten meters.

"Well, not bad!" Lin Cunde looked at the targets and nodded with satisfaction.

"That iron lump just now?" Shi Heng asked in surprise when he saw the things in the test site blown up like this.

"Well, that iron bump just now! It's called a grenade!" Lin Cunde nodded, still very satisfied.

"Why did it explode?" Shi Heng looked at Lin Cunde in confusion and asked.

"You will know later. Now, let the guards start digging a trench according to my drawing and pile the soil in front!" Lin Cunde said to Lin Cunli.

"Okay!" Lin Cunli nodded immediately and said.

Lin Cunde took one of the grenades, told them not to get close to him, and then walked forward about 20 meters. After standing still, Lin Cunde took a big mouthful of the cover under the grenade, took out the drawstring inside, pulled it hard, and then threw it forward.

After throwing it, Lin Cunde quickly lay down, and at the same time he was counting in his heart, almost to seven, when there was an explosion and dust flew.

It startled Shi Heng and others behind them.

"How did this and this explode?" Shi Heng and the others still didn't understand. They exploded without even lighting the fire. This was hard to understand.

"There is flint inside. If not for Lulingbo's ingenious design, the flint was struck as soon as the wire was pulled. The flint ignited the fuse inside, causing the fuse to burn, and finally detonated the gunpowder in the grenade inside!" One of the commanders said to Lin Cunde.

"I don't know how powerful this thing is on the battlefield, but if you throw it by someone, it won't be able to throw it very far. Moreover, looking at this posture, you may accidentally hurt yourself!" Xu Xianyong frowned and said to Lin Cunde.

"Probably not. If you throw it far, you shouldn't be able to blow yourself up!" Another commander shook his head and said.

"What's the use of this? Wala can't attack the city. If it is to attack the city, this thing is of great use!" Shi Heng still couldn't understand.

Xu Xianyong said nothing because Lin Cunde had already walked back.

"Immediately make some simulated grenades to train the soldiers to use!" Lin Cunde said to the three of them after he came back.

"Simulated grenade?" The three of them looked at Lin Cunde in confusion.

"Yes, it is not filled with gunpowder, but with mud of the same weight. In addition, this pull rope can be installed further. The purpose is to train the soldiers with simulated grenades first, and then train them with real ones!" Lin Cunde nodded and said to them.

"This!" The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. Lin Cunde and the others could understand that it was filled with mud, but the drawstring inside could be reused, so they couldn't do this.

"Is there any difficulty?" Lin Cunde looked at them and asked.

"Yes, how can I use the rope multiple times?" One of the thousand households said to Lin Cunde.

"Well, I'll give you the drawings tonight and you can produce them!" Lin Cunde thought for a while and said to the three of them.

"Okay, if the commander-in-chief plans it, there will definitely be no problem!" The three of them happily said to Lin Cunde.

"Well, we will experiment some more later. If there are no major problems with the grenades, they can be mass-produced and will be of great use!" Lin Cunde said to the three of them.

"Passed?" The three of them looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and asked.

"We don't know yet. We still need to experiment. We'll know after we throw a hundred of them away! See how many have problems!" Lin Cunde shook his head and said. He still doesn't know if it will work.

But Shi Heng and the others couldn't help it. Although this thing would explode, it was of little use. So Shi Heng came over and said to Lin Cunde: "This thing can still be of some use in defending the city, but this time, Wala may not be able to use it." If you know how to siege a city, these will be of little use!”

"It works, it depends on how to use it!" Lin Cunde said with great certainty, he was counting on these grenades. And having no conscience is also the key!

However, the heartless cannon can only be installed on the ground, and it is inconvenient to move and install it again. The heartless cannon is not like what is shown on TV. It can be set up on a stand. This will explode.

The barrel must be buried in the soil, the pressure of the soil is used to withstand the pressure of the gunpowder explosion in the barrel, and then the explosive package is thrown out.

Otherwise, if the barrel is placed outside like this, it will be very easy to explode and cause huge casualties to one's own side.

Soon, the trench was dug. Lin Cunde asked a few guards to start throwing grenades. He just told them to throw the grenades when they pulled the lead. If they lost their hands, they would jump into the trench.

Out of a hundred grenades, three did not explode, and the others were completely fine.

Lin Cunde was very satisfied after seeing it.

Immediately asked them to seize the time to build, and then took Shi Heng and the others back to the Zhongjun tent.

After returning to the Zhongjun tent, Lin Cunde began to draw drawings. The four of them looked at Lin Cunde in confusion. What was the use of making these things?

Although it looks very powerful and is very useful for defending a city, is it useless to do this now?

Shi Heng and Xu Xianyong felt that Lin Cunde was unnecessary, but Zhang Zhengxiang and Xiang Qing did not think so. Although they did not know what the use was, they believed it would be of great use.

When the crossbow was delivered to them, they felt that it was probably of little use. However, when facing the Ora cavalry, they discovered how useful this item was. It could kill those Ora cavalry with extremely high efficiency. Soldier.

To allow the Ming Dynasty's army to quickly turn from a disadvantage into an advantage, it is best to annihilate all the Wala cavalry.

Therefore, although the two of them did not understand, they did not agree with Shi Heng's distrust of Lin Cunde. They believed in Lin Cunde. After all, the Fifth Army Battalion was so well trained and had a great relationship with Lin Cunde.

Not to mention them, even the soldiers below also believed in Lin Cunde.

After Lin Cunde finished drawing the drawings, he asked Lin Cunli to send someone to call the commander of the Third Martial Arts Battalion, hand over the drawings to them, and let them make simulated grenades.

After the explanation was completed, Lin Cunde arrived in front of the map.

So far, Oala's cavalry has not arrived. Lin Cunde is worried that the direction of Oala's attack is not at Shanhaiguan.

But what Lin Cunde didn't know was that he had just discussed the spoils distribution plan with Azizhiyuan. This time, Azizhiyuan was asked to go to Shanhaiguan to contain the Ming army, and he also took Zhu Qiyu to attack Liaodong Town.

At first, Azizhiyuan disagreed. He wanted to attack Liaodong and seize supplies. He also wanted to contain the Ming Dynasty's army in Shanhaiguan first.

But he didn't agree at first, but later it was agreed that the supplies would be divided into 40 and 60 parts, and Asashizhiyuan would take 60%.

Azizhiyuan's military strength at the moment exceeded Ye Xian, and he was not afraid of Ye Xian. If Ye Xian dared to go back on his words, then he would not let him go so easily.

Moreover, he had to attack Liaodong Town first, and there would probably be casualties. And when he went to Shanhaiguan, if he didn't fight the Ming Dynasty's army, there would probably be no casualties. '

However, Azizhiyuan couldn't believe it either. What he was thinking was that once he had a chance to break through the Shanhaiguan defense line, he would rush in and go directly to Beijing City, where there would be more supplies, so that he could Have a safe winter!

After discussing it, he first gathered the troops with Azizhiyuan and prepared to march to the border of Ming Dynasty.

It takes at least half a month from their base to arrive at Shanhaiguan or Liaodong.

Three days later, the conscienceless cannon was completed and the simulated grenades were also produced. Lin Cunde immediately gathered the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and began to instruct the Shenji Battalion on how to use the conscienceless cannon.

During the experiment, Lin Cunde discovered that many war horses were frightened.

Lin Cunde also frowned and ordered all the cavalry horses to be tied up at the testing ground to let the horses get used to the sound of explosions.

After the heartless artillery was settled, Lin Cunde began to let the cavalry start training with simulated grenades. It was all training for the establishment. Before they trained, Lin Cunde asked the soldiers to watch the effect of the grenade explosion, and even helped some at the explosion point. The purchased pigs and sheep were used with grenades, and the pigs and sheep suffered heavy casualties, just to make those soldiers handle them carefully.

Then let each soldier throw three real grenades and truly feel the power of the grenades.

Finally, there is the formal training with simulated grenades, and all war horses must be nearby.

To exercise the courage of those war horses.

After the cavalry training was completed, Lin Cunde began to organize the infantry to start training on the use of grenades, so that the soldiers knew how to use them.

It's been ten days in a blink of an eye.

Lin Cunde was at the training ground every day, while Shi Heng and Xu Xianyong were at the Chinese military tent and did not go to see it. For them, guarding Shanhaiguan was a great achievement.

Lin Cunde didn't care about them. After all, the Fifth Army Camp was his direct army, and his subordinates only needed to trust him!

Moreover, his subordinates all came from the border army, and they have extremely rich combat experience.
