Chapter 316 The cannons on the school ground roared at the beginning, and the gate of the era finall

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were about to burst out, Mr. Zhang quickly looked over with his eyes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression when she touched the cannon, she looked like a wretched goldfish guy.

No wonder Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he was about to explode, and Zhu Houzhao came to his senses after drinking Yu Chihu.

Seeing that his father's eyes were about to eat people, he couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly ran over with his extremely terrifying legs.

"Father~! Are you here?! That cannon is really a good one! I just checked it, it is definitely dense!"

Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the naughty child with his finger, and finally sighed when he looked at his flattering and terrifying appearance.

He pulled him over and tightened his armor, tidied up his crown: "I'm out of the box, the prince must pay attention to Fengyi."

Zhu Houzhao is just a bit naughty and a bit bearish. He is not stupid or heartless.

Seeing that his father was like this, this naughty child actually had a red eye and he pushed his body straight: "I understand!"

Seeing that he was about to catch up with his son, Emperor Hongzhi instantly felt that he was old.

The prince seemed to have just left the cabinet and studied a few years ago, why did it seem like it had been a long time?!

Now he can handle millions of taels of silver and millions of stones of grain, and fight against the grain merchants in the capital and important officials of the state.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

After sorting out the armor for the prince, Emperor Hongzhi walked slowly towards the giant cannon not far away that was being adjusted by the craftsmen.

Looking at the giant cannon from afar, it was nothing, but when he approached, Emperor Hongzhi's heart couldn't help but speed up.

The cannon, which adheres to the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, has a huge relief statue of the "Zhenwu Emperor".

The entire cannon body embossed with pieces of Yazixiang cloud patterns, because they are made of a certain proportion of alloys such as steel, copper, tin, etc.

Therefore, the color of this giant cannon is very different from pure steel and pure copper. Its texture is somewhat similar to steel but the color is coppery.

"All up! Tell me about this cannon!"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and asked the craftsmen who had kneeled all over the ground to get up quickly and introduce the giant cannon to himself.

The total gun is 1 twelve feet long, the barrel wall is 5 inches thick, the muzzle is fifteen inches, and the medicine is temporarily recorded as 150 kilograms.

The shells are 300 kilograms of sand-core steel shells, with a range of two miles, and the total cannon weighs... 13,000 kilograms!

Spit out a breath of turbid air, and Emperor Hongzhi calmed himself down.

Then I looked up and saw a city wall outside the sign that was about two miles away along the way.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Dai Yi, and the old guy bowed and turned around and ran away with a few internal officials.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly left the fortress as they walked away, in order to carry the huge artillery.

After all, this is a 13,000-pound cannon!

This is obviously not something that ordinary wooden wheels can carry, so at the beginning of casting, the craftsmen cast the cannon trucks that carry.

Even with the cannon cart, they were not sure whether the cannon cart could carry the huge recoil of this cannon.

So they chose to build a bunker with cement bricks and stone, covered with a lot of soil inside and outside, and put the entire cannon with a cannon and a cart in it.

"Your Majesty, this wall is one meter high and two feet thick! Made of blue bricks, yellow mud and rammed earth are in harmony. It is very strong!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded solemnly and waved his hand and said, "Then... let's start!"

Zhang Mao's armor trembled and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "Please avoid it for a while!"

"New gun test, everything is unknown! Safety is the key."

Emperor Hongzhi followed the advice, nodded and retreated with Zhang Mao and others.

It was a fortification piled up of cement and sacks of soil, and even thick cement boards were on the top.

A pair of guys who looked like a hoodie were respectfully given to Emperor Hongzhi by Mr. Zhang. Zhu Houzhao felt a little confused when he saw his father.

So he helped him put it on and tighten it. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that his ear was surrounded by something.

Fortunately, it was not uncomfortable, but the whole world lost its voice at once.

He was a little curious and wanted to take it off. Zhu Houzhao was so scared that he quickly held down and waved his hand to indicate that he could not take it.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi could only suppress his curiosity and look out.

It is about two meters away from the fort, and it is on the side and not directly opposite.

So you can clearly see the personnel on the fortress operation and the city wall far away.

But the craftsmen first used oil to brush the barrel, and then a huge oil-paper bag was pulled up in a small car.

Several people carefully wrapped the oil paper into the gun barrel, and then pressed it tightly with the gun tie.

The shells were also pushed up at the same time. They also brushed the shells with oil first and then used a hook to lift the shells in a leather pocket and stuffed them into the barrel.

Everything seemed unhappy but was done in an orderly manner, and the craftsmen began to correct the high and low angles of the cannons.

Finally, the cannon body was stuck and a hollow iron rod was inserted into the ignition point at the end of the cannon body.

After the iron rod was pulled out, a fuse was exposed, and the craftsmen pulled the fuse outside the bunker.

Then they all retreated towards the other two bunkers, and it seemed that they were about to ignite the fire.

Sure enough, the young man who was left behind lit a torch first.

After confirming that everyone had retreated into the bunker, he shouted something with all his head held high.

But Emperor Hongzhi was wearing this cover that blocked his ears and couldn't hear clearly.

After shouting three times, the young man used a torch to head towards the fuse point on the ground.

"She~~" A fire broke out, and the young man rushed towards a bunker like he was chased by a dog behind him.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at the fuse with his breath and his eyes stared at the fuse bit by bit, burning towards the cannon from the outside.

The fuse didn't burn for long, but when the fire flashed, it quickly licked to the muzzle.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, the violent light that almost covered the sun flashed by, and the extremely violent explosion roar suddenly resounded!

This sound... was like the thunder thunder between heaven and earth at the same time, and it was like the mountain of Qingtian collapsed instantly!

It is even more like the water of the vast ocean turned into huge waves and hitting it with a bang!

The violent explosion brought about the vibration of the entire bunker fortification.

Even Emperor Hongzhi was wearing the plug on his ear, and his ears were still buzzing by the violent roar.

The huge wave of air caused by the explosion even made Emperor Hongzhi feel a little choked.

The endless dust in the bunker where the artillery was located was like a strong wind passing through the border, and it was all swept into the air!

Mr. Zhang and the old Duke of Tigerhead quickly supported him with quick eyes, and then he did not fall down!

After calming down, Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and walked forward quickly and looked out eagerly.

The smoke and dust gradually subsided, and it was vaguely visible that the artillery that was pushed back by the huge recoil and hit the fortification was sound.

When his eyes looked at the city wall in the distance, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly widened!

The whole mouth was open, like a dying catfish!
