In the Xingqing Palace in Nan Nei, near the Datong Sect, which was already covered by fireworks, was wearing a lock vest and a hot cloth (asbestos) coat, and a three-inch short gun was inserted on its waist. The craftsman Changbai Duolu also followed behind a short-barrel light cannon on a large wheel hub and slowly passed through the messy palace gate avenue, and before he pushed the big sign to the drum tower at Neiheng City Gate.

On the Que Tower, which looks a bit old and declining, but still tall and strong, there are still people fighting and shooting arrows, trying to stop the Taiping Army soldiers who are constantly crossing the Datong Sect and attacking it. At this time, it is time for this new mountain cannon called the Krut Three Style to be used.

Compared with those long-barrel field cannons (a enemy-suppressing style) that are specially used to break the formation during the battle between large troops, or large-mouth heavy cannons (a Pingluo style) that are specially customized to attack and pull out the base, and even the cavalry cannons (a flying star type) that are specially customized to accompany the Mercedes-Benzing and riding. This kind of mountain cannon with short and light body tubes looks very simple. Because it was originally intended to suppress bandits in the mountains and facilitate the need to travel along the mountain and ridges and pursue, the front-mounted cannons specially forged with cooked iron.

Although the range, accuracy and power are much smaller than the first three, the purpose of light and portability is fully implemented to the extreme; as long as a pack horse or two soldiers can be carried on the mountain road; even if the cannon stand is not built with stones, or the earth pits that are placed with a firing angle can be dug, they can be fired out easily. Of course, due to the limitations of the weight and material, they can only be used to reduce the amount and material of the wood-tube balls that can be halved or 30% of the charge;

Despite this, this kind of special firearm that adapts to local conditions has played a great role in encircling and suppressing mountain sheds and river thieves. It is invincible and omnipresent for those rugged and steep mountainous lands. Even when facing those mountainous and non-stop barbarians who are used to wandering in the mountains and forests or walking on the rugged and flat ground, relying on the familiar geographical advantage to endless harassment and attacks, and even ambushing, it is just the result of easily dispersing and defeating it once a few shots.

At least, compared with those flowering (wood) cannons that were made from iron chambers of tree barrels after being fired a few times, or star cannons with iron chambers wrapped in iron chambers, they are more accurate and sharp. So much so that compared with the first three who have few chances of showing off their power in front of the camp, most of the people in the firefighting team are more familiar with this light and short mountain cannon, and are affectionately called "Da Banjun", "Pishanlang" and "Mr. Zhankou".

Therefore, when Taiping Grand Governor's Office launched the Jiangdong Strategy, this kind of small hill cannon was further improved and had a fixed-mounted second type, so that it could continue to fire new sub-drugs such as ball eggs, rod bullets, and chain bullets with reduced loading packages; and a new lightweight cannon stand was designed to be fixed and placed on the black-sailed boats and flat-panel boats as a strike force for strengthening the attack power of the boat troops operating in the Jiangnan Water Network area.

Therefore, this light cannon, called the Kruts, cannon, not only shines in the two Zhejiang strategies; it has destroyed and defeated waves of rebellion and distorted in the local area based on the city and camps; it has also continued to play various uses in the subsequent cleaning of the remaining sporadic resistance in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang and the remnants of defeated soldiers and soldiers who fled to the sea to pacify the security of the scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers and brave men.

Therefore, under this urgent need of reality, the Taiping Grand Governor's Office soon gave birth to a further improved version - the Krut Three Style. This time, the improvement was to abandon the originally relatively cheap and mature refined iron in terms of materials and technology, and switch to a brand new paste mold iron model. Coupled with the steelmaking process of secondary heat quenching and rolling forging and expansion, the original pipe became lighter and thinner, and the diameter reached four inches and seven minutes.

Of course, the corresponding production cost has also increased from the original sixty-seven pieces to almost double the 113 pieces; but the benefits are more than a little bit. For example, the incremental charges and ammunition brought by better chamber pressure resistance greatly expand the range and power. In addition, the iron-wood components are large wheel gun mounts that are convenient for off-road and mountain-crossing. As long as there is a big animal like donkey and mule, it is said that there is nowhere in the world.

Especially in Chang'an City, where the shooting range and vision are narrow, and the ground is full of obstacles and the mobility is inconvenient; this mountain cannon called Krut 3 can be dragged or pushed forward and trotted on the street and followed up; it is eaten with the grenades of the fire-dropping team, which is a good tool for overcoming the enemy, fire support and cover suppression.

Therefore, before the second dispatch of troops, more than 300 new and old gates had been accumulated after twelve hours of overtime work and uninterrupted production; most of the new equipment was brought into this Chang'an City by the second reinforcements of the Grand Commander-in-chief. It was also used as a fire support group to strengthen the level of the regiment (campus) and was considered a brilliant success in the current capture and exchanges in the city.

The group that Bai Dulu followed was also the old version of the front-mounted version that specialized in weight reduction and firecrackers. The only thing that was the placement of the site was easy to maintain and assemble, and could be put into place at any time and anywhere and used directly during the journey. Therefore, starting from Le'anfang near Mingdemen, we have fought dozens of battles, and passed through seven or eight city markets, before we could reach the location of Xingqing Palace in the Nannei, and continued to go into the battle in full swing.

As a skilled craftsman in the maintenance and maintenance of the striking military technical secondary school gun team, Bai Dulu actually does not have to appear in front of the formation; however, if military craftsmen like him want to go further, they must accompany the gun team operation at the forefront of the battlefield to obtain first-hand data and experience in on-site operations, so as to increase the corresponding qualification and assessment of battlefield performance.

After all, military craftsmanship like them is a shortcut and fast horse path. If you can strive for excellence and find more improvements in actual combat, and be recognized, it means a higher chance of ascension, relocation and encouragement after the war. After all, you will fight from Guangzhou to Hunan, and from Hunan to Jiangxi, Jingnan, Shannan, and Jiangdong. In just a few years, Bai Duolu is also an old man who has experienced many battles.

After Jiangdong was finished fighting, he was also the top rank of the 16th-level military officer/non-commissioned officer. In theory, as long as he worked hard, he could cross the order of the craftsman and enter the threshold of the junior officer and the deputy, the military chief, who had reached the beginning of the 17th level, and between the flash of Bai Dulu's thoughts, the three-man gun group had already divided the work to complete the clearing, loading and calibration process, and inserted a large nail-shaped fire tube into the fire door behind the gun body and knocked hard.

Behind the big brand's cover, the short-barrel mountain cannon with a large wheel hub suddenly jumped back, roaring and squirting out large shining sparks and pungent ash smoke, and then fell back in the preset cushion of the wood; and then Quelou, which was still shooting arrows and throwing stones in the distance, suddenly shattered a corner out of thin air, and a few broken limbs were carried and splashed as the earth and rocks were flying.

The resistance on several floors of Que Tower seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then it turned into whistling sounds one after another, and the figures of the official army who began to escape in groups of three or three behind the city disc. With such an exciting start as an incentive, the gun crew became more and more smooth and neat.

Soon they used a pole soaked in cloth to clear the chamber and cool it down, and under the strict escort of friendly forces, they continued to work hard to reach another inner tower, within fifty steps in front of the left bell tower of the daily bell ringing hall; aimed at the lower floor where the head and armor light were the most dense, and fixed the corresponding angle of shooting with a single-sided concave triangle block.

He stuffed the cake-shaped thick silk medicine bag again, filled it with closed hard pads and balls wrapped in paper shells. The young group head was about to knock on the fire tube, but Bai Dulu was called. He saw him step forward and gestured a few times to move the elevation angle of the pad on the gun stand, and then signaled the group head to knock on the fire door. In an instant, between the flames and smoke, a slight arcuate trajectory thundered at the bottom of the Que Tower at the bell-beating platform.

With the sound of the dull impact and cracking sound of the urn, countless pieces of fragments passed by many fragmented limbs, like they were smashing a big jar, splashing from the lower floor of the Que Tower. However, the sweeping cannon shattered the bell in the middle, and in the cracked rebound and splash, the guards were killed and injured on the spot.

"I've been beaten..."

“The middle period…”

“Good fight…”

Amid the admiration of the soldiers who were covering the left and right, the unexpected result did not stop the gun team in surprise. In the meantime, they took new medicine from the car behind. They also replaced the heavy cast iron four-inch seven-minute balls with large egg bullets in a paper bag, and hit the wooden mat of the gun mount to raise the angle of elevation inward. A large ball of sparks burst out again.

With the roar of the muzzle, many more obvious gray-white arc trajectories extended, which were not regularly thrown and poured into the range between the second and third floors of the Que Building. In the sound of bursting and peeling, the hundreds of holes and thousands of bombardment that bombarded the outer guard and baffles in the middle of the Que Building instantly lost most of the sounds inside, and only a stream of large blood flowed out slowly and hung down from the outer wall.

Then, the Taiping infantrymen who rushed up to the inner palace wall with cheers and rushed into the left bell tower with corpses and blood flowing into the left bell tower had almost no resistance or noise, and they had already escorted many seemingly lost prisoners under the Que Tower, but the terrible power of these people being bombarded by two rounds of artillery was scared and their courage and spirits were scared.

So the artillery group that had just radiated two rounds had to quickly turn deeper with the help of the soldiers near the neighboring sergeant, and went to the city walls that were fighting fiercely between the Datong Palace and the Xingqing Palace community. There, the government army had already blocked the palace gate and laid a new defense array on the high wall, blocking the Taiping Army that was attacking the south...

Not long after, amid the closer screams and rumbling sounds, he retreated to Xingqing Hall again to Fengzhou Defense Commander Shi Keji, instructed the tooth soldiers to merge the palace gate and plug it with various objects, leaving only a gap and a hole for archery. Then, he sternly said to the hundreds of women who were driven into the hall:
Chapter completed!
