Chapter 212: Shocking appearance

Twenty miles north of Liaodong City, there is a small valley. This time the thunder of the black gunpowder made was just tested here.

The black gunpowder is definitely a secret weapon. Although the deafening thunder made with black gunpowder may not be much higher than the lethality of the crane crossbow. But the most powerful thing about this thing is the sound and light effect, which is absolutely shocking for people a thousand years ago.

Especially if used as ambush, night attack and other battles, the sudden shock of the sky will definitely destroy the morale of the enemy, and even the less-than-desired army may collapse directly.

When Chen Kefu led the guards to the small valley, all the battalion-level generals of the 100th battalion were already arrived. Before everyone came, they didn't know what to do here.

The small valley is not big, but it is just right for secret tests. Don't worry that this secret weapon will be known in advance. As soon as you enter the valley, the troops of the Marshal Guards and the Gendarmerie Department will immediately block the entire valley, and no one can get close to it.

Under the gaze of the general of Bailai, Zhang Jin, the general manager of the guard battalion, personally carried a pot and walked a pot one hundred steps away from everyone, placed it directly on the ground, and then inserted a fuse of more than meter long into the pot.

"Master, are you ready to light the fire?"

Chen Kefu looked at the distance. It should be no problem with one hundred steps away. However, for safety reasons, he still said to everyone, "Everyone takes another fifty steps back, Zhang Jin, after you lit the line of fire, run back here immediately, do you hear it?"

Zhang Jin casually said casually, "I understand."

One hundred and fifty steps, the distance was already far from the clay pot. The clay pot was left with only a black spot in everyone's eyes. Everyone understood at this time that the clay pot contained what the Grand Marshal said was the thunder of the sky. Everyone was full of curiosity and expectation for this thing. They wanted to see with their own eyes how this small clay pot made thunder sounds and could also be used to kill people.

Before Zhang Jin started lighting the fire, Chen Kefu stretched out his hands and covered his ears tightly, while saying to the generals, "I suggest you cover your ears too, otherwise, it will definitely scare you in a while."

Except for Mao Bo and a few scholars from Chenjiazhuang who came out of the Chenjiazhuang raised their hands to cover their ears, the rest of the generals didn't care. They didn't believe that they could scare them even if they were so far away.

Zhang Jin took out the fire slit and lit the fuse. As soon as the fuse caught fire, a burst of smoke came out, making a chirping sound, and it started to burn at an extremely fast speed. Zhang Jin was originally a little distracted, but when he saw the fuse wrapped in black gunpowder burning so quickly, he was shocked.

He started to pluck his legs and ran towards Chen Kefu and the others. Fortunately, this time it was a trial explosion. For safety reasons, Chen Kefu made the fuse that was 100 meters long. The fuse burned very quickly, burning about one centimeter per second. The fuse that was 100 seconds long was only about 300 seconds, and it took five minutes.

When Zhang Jin ran 150 steps with all his might, he returned to Chen Kefu and others, the fuse was still burning. Seeing that the fire was still burning, he ran back in such a mess just now, Zhang Jin felt embarrassed.

He smiled awkwardly at everyone, and was about to say something to make him look back, suddenly there was a loud thunder sound on the ground, and with a "bang", a flash of fire suddenly flashed at that 150 feet, a burst of smoke rose and soared into the sky.

Although they were one hundred and fifty steps away, everyone was shocked by the sudden loud noise. At this time, the generals understood why the generals asked them to cover their ears.

Chen Kefu was excited and ran to the explosion point to watch. He had tried it out several times before, but the formulas were different each time, and most of them were not very powerful. The recipe is the most powerful one at present, and he finally wet the black gunpowder and made it into pellet drying and processing. The best ratio of 10 kilograms of pelleted black gunpowder surprised Chen Kefu himself.

The clay pot had already broken into pieces, and the broken pieces flew everywhere, and the farthest ones flew three feet away. The open space where the clay pot was placed was dug out of a pit nearly two feet deep and three feet wide.

"Master, is this the pill you are talking about?" Deputy General Li Benlei looked at the pit on the ground with disbelief. It was just a small pot of clay pot that could create such a big pit. As a veteran who has been through the battlefield, he immediately understood what would happen if such a pot of clay pot exploded in a dense enemy formation on the battlefield.

If such a clay pot goes down, it will definitely kill and destroy several. Especially the firelight and thunderous sound when this thing explodes. If it explodes among cavalry, even the trained war horses will be in amazement.

This thing is so valuable, it is nothing compared to the tincture oil pots, fireballs, etc. that I used to defend the city.

"Yes, this is the pill I refined, not for eating, but for killing enemies. This thing, my general named Zhentian Lei. When facing the Goguryeo people, they must be shocked. If they are used well, they can achieve great results."

Yu Qinming's eyes shone and he stared at the pottery on the ground. He believed that this was definitely a killing weapon.

"Master, is this thunder hard to make? How much can we do?" Li Jie, who was standing beside him, immediately asked. As the chief logistics manager in the army, he knew very well that the thunder in front of him was indeed a powerful weapon. But if it was difficult to make and not reach a certain number, it was not much different from a thunder crossbow, and it was even worse than a thunder crossbow. Although the thunder hard to make, it had to operate one or two hundred people at a time. However, the thunder hard before him could be used for a long time, and the thunder in front of him was a consumable, even worse than an ordinary feather arrow. When the feather arrow was shot out, it could still be recycled. Once this thing sounded, it would be split.

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "Is this thing difficult or difficult? The one you saw just now is a thunder of ten kilograms, which is very dynamic, but it will not be too effective against those armoured enemies. However, we can increase the amount of gunpowder to solve this problem. I plan to make a gunpowder bag of twenty kilograms, which will not be transported and carried easily and will be even more powerful. And we can also make a small amount of gunpowder bag of thirty kilograms, forty kilograms, or even fifty kilograms, which will definitely surprise Goguryeo at that time."
