Chapter 485 Arsenal
When Cao Hua heard the report, he walked out of the workshop and spoke from the distance:
"Several people come from afar, but they are not welcome."
Fang Qifu stood up and raised his hand and bowed.
Deng Yuanjue felt as if he was facing a great enemy. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and bowed.
Cao Hua's face was calm, and he walked up to him and looked at Deng Yuanjue for a few seconds.
Deng Yuanjue, known as the "Treasure Light Tathagata", changed his face and said with a dry smile:
"In the past, we were hostile to each other and tested the governor's skills. There was indeed something wrong with it. Fortunately, there was no danger. I hope the governor would not...well..."
"Forget it, since I'm here, I'll be friends in the future, and my past grudges have been written off."
Cao Hua turned around and took the three of them into the workshop.
The copper and iron piled up in the workshop and dozens of large furnaces with high fires, hundreds of craftsmen walked back and forth in the workshop, hung up huge boilers with iron chains, poured the melted copper and iron into the mold, and then sealed and dried.
Fang Qifo and others looked at it for a while, and thought for a while: "Is Governor Cao using the 'Tai Sui Cannon' used to attack the city wall outside Hangzhou?"
Cao Hua slowly walked into the huge workshop with the heat waves and pointed to the drying mud mold on the ground:
"Yes, the Grand Commander's cannon used to attack the city in Hangzhou is the most basic two thousand kilograms of heavy artillery, which is four thousand kilograms... The largest one next to it is the eight thousand kilograms of heavy artillery, with a range of nearly ten miles per shot, which is powerful... Anyway, a top master like you and me can't even find the body if you get one shot."
Fang Qifo and others had been shot, and their eyes were shocked when they heard this.
Deng Yuanjue touched his bald head: "I have seen a gap on the city wall, and people will definitely not be able to stop it. Is that the smallest?"
Fang Qifo looked around carefully and looked solemn: "How long will it take to cast a large governor's cannon in this place?"
Cao Hua hugged his arms and curled the corners of his mouth:
"According to the current size, construction started day and night during the war. As long as the materials can keep up, the average output will be about 60 guns per month. When the expansion is completed, the monthly output can be increased to 200 guns, and 3,000 guns can be equipped in about a year... However, the raw materials and silver will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it will be possible to kill all the four routes of Chuanxia."
"Three Thousand Doors..."
Deng Yuan felt his scalp numb, and four cannons were knocked out so that people dared not stand on the head of Hangzhou City. Three thousand cannons fired together, so he could not razed Hangzhou City to the ground?
Fang Qifo thought carefully. If the imperial court did not have a great general artillery and relying solely on the imperial guards, it would be impossible to stop it.
There are three thousand great commander artillery, what kind of military strategy is needed? What is the difference between this and the imperial guards holding a group of three-year-old children with strong bows and crossbows?”
Thinking of this, Fang Qifu frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Then Governor Cao...what else do I want to do?
"Well... I'm asking you to come here to show you how powerful I am."
“…?”
"Haha, just kidding..."
Cao Hua called Fang Qifo over, so of course he didn't let him see how powerful he was.
The hundreds of people Fang La carried were all middle and low-level generals of Fang La's army. They fought with the rebel army for half a year, and they fought against the imperial guards. The experience of leading troops in war was far greater than that of the leader of the Shu King's Village and the Black Feather Guard Yuhou, which was his shortage.
After arranging the many men from Fang La's remaining troops, each company had a leader with 30,000 bandits. This would make it much more comfortable to control it. There is no need to worry about the problem that a guard can't take thousands of people to control it.
Fang Qifo stood in the firearm workshop for a long time, and before leaving, he shook his head and sighed:
Tan Zhen was also a little worried, but he didn't have much to say.
Wang Bing thought for a while, but it was not easy to suppress his morale, so he could only force himself to smile: "Mr. Tan said that if you fire a shot for half a quarter of an hour, as long as the cannon sounds, the soldiers will start charging, and half a quarter of an hour is enough to rush to the city. The problem... should not be big."
Tan Zhen nodded: "Yes, the problem should not be big..."
The reason why these remarks were clearly that when the two generals were using the Grand Commander's cannon, they strictly followed the instructions of the Diankui Shizhuo, and used a small scale called traditional Chinese medicine to fill gunpowder, not a single cent or a tiny bit, and even counted the amount of compacted gunpowder to be pressed carefully.
