Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 164 Genghis Khan’s shock!
But this era is so bad!
People in this era don't know how to defend themselves, they don't know how to lie down, and they don't know how to protect their heads.

Moreover, the lethality caused to ordinary soldiers in this era by using explosive packs to create silence is secondary. The shock to them and the psychological impact on them are the most important.

In ancient wars, modern scholars have calculated that once the number of casualties reaches 1/10, soldiers will be afraid. When the number of casualties reaches 2/10, a large number of soldiers will defect. Even if they have undergone rigorous training, once casualties If the number exceeds 1/3, then the collapse is inevitable.

The shock wave formed by explosive packs and the huge movement caused by the explosion will cause a crushing psychological blow to the cavalry troops. This is what Zhang Yong values ​​​​the most.

Modern people can be psychologically affected by explosions, let alone ancient people. It is easy to be frightened to madness, and it is possible to be frightened to death on the spot.

After obtaining relatively satisfactory experimental results, Zhang Yong planned to stop and end today's experiment.

"Sir, are you going to do explosive experiments later? Do you want me to prepare a group of slaves for you?" At this time, the Mongolian officer stepped forward and said.

After the explosion experiments in the past few days, he had every reason to think that Zhang Yong's next explosion experiments would be simulated using slaves.

After all, all the animal experiments have been carried out, what should happen next?
"Ahem! This kind of explosion experiment can be tested on animals. It doesn't require living people. It can be done with cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you prepare some cattle and sheep, as well as horses, armor, and dummies. Tomorrow I will make explosive bags. The day after tomorrow I plan to ask the Great Khan to come over and see the power of the explosion for himself. "Zhang Yong said a little speechlessly.

How could we use slaves?I'd just use livestock.

Anyway, the effect is almost the same. More explosion data needs to be tested on the battlefield, and now it can be used by the Xixia people.

Explosive packs should be able to participate in the war with Xixia.

After these days of data speculation, Zhang Yong has full confidence. Next, it is time to let Genghis Khan see the power of this explosive pack.

By then our Genghis Khan will know how big the difference is between the power of the burning stones launched by the trebuchet and the explosive packs!
That is one heaven and one underground.

The body of the next big killer, the Heartless Cannon, should have been completed. The next step is to test the launch of the thunder barrel.

These also require detailed experimental data. After all, ballistics, ejection, and launch all require continuous attempts.

This thing is not like a dynamite bag, it is a mature thing.Once you make it, you can put it to use immediately.

Next, he should consume a large number of livestock. These cattle, sheep, horses, etc., should die in large numbers.

Fortunately, the Mongolians are not used to wasting these livestock. Even if they are blown to pieces, they can wash them and cook them and eat them.

Just highlight one thing and don’t waste it.

After hearing Zhang Yong's words, the Mongolian officer nodded silently, and then escorted Zhang Yong and a large number of gunpowder masters back to the city. As soon as he returned to the city, Zhang Yong couldn't wait to visit Genghis Khan.

In the past few days, the Mongolian officer will actually report something to Genghis Khan, but.He only knew a rough idea. Zhang Yong had to report the real details in person.

"I've waited for you, kid. Are you here to report those new weapons to me? Come in and explain them to me in detail." As soon as they met, Genghis Khan couldn't wait to pull Zhang Yong in and pointed at his nose. Said with a smile.

In the past few days, the Mongolian officer has praised Zhang Yong to the sky, and the new weapon has also been praised to the sky, saying that with this magical weapon, they will be invincible and invincible.

All the cities were vulnerable to him. In the past few days, Zhang Yong's explosions could also be heard in Xuanhua Prefecture, so he was also very curious about this thing.

He was even a little itchy and wanted to know the specific situation. Seeing Zhang Yong coming, Genghis Khan couldn't wait.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yong showed an imperceptible smile.

That’s right, Khan!This is the effect I want.

This is called hunger marketing. When you are extremely curious, I will reveal his true face to achieve the best results.

"Sweat profusely! These days, Zhang Yong has been conducting some experimental data on explosions, and now it has achieved specific results, so I would like to invite you to come over tomorrow to have a look. We can also discuss the specific use of explosive packs." Zhang Yong said.

Zhang Yong asked several gunpowder masters in the past few days, and they said that using a trebuchet to projectile would also be a very good choice.

Mongolia's ordinary trebuchets can launch stones weighing more than ten kilograms to attack, while giant trebuchets can launch stones weighing dozens of kilograms to attack.

There is no problem at all in launching the explosive package. What they mean is to tie a small stone to the explosive package to increase its center of gravity, so as to better improve the accuracy of the projectile.

There was even a gunpowder master who had a sudden idea and asked Zhang Yong if he could pour some gasoline on the explosive package and ignite it to further increase the lethality.

Zhang Yong was speechless about this. If you want to kill yourself, just go ahead and do it yourself. Damn it!

Is this what people say?If you pour gasoline on the explosive package and light it, you're just setting off fireworks for the enemy.

This proposal was directly rejected by Zhang Yong.He invented gasoline himself, and he knew the power of gasoline.

"Oh! Didn't you say a month? How come you can show it to me so soon?" Genghis Khan asked.

"Now that we have some explosion data, the next thing to solve is to launch objects. My original intention was to use something called a heartless cannon.

But some gunpowder masters suggested to me that we could also try it with a trebuchet, and you also said that day that you wanted to use a trebuchet, so how about we try it with a trebuchet. "Zhang Yong said.

"You mean, this explosive pack can also be launched with a trebuchet, right?" Genghis Khan asked.

"Yes, sweat! Tomorrow we will work hard to make explosive packs, and the day after tomorrow we will go outside the city to let you see its specific power and test the effect of launching it with a trebuchet." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay! Then I'll just wait and see. Don't let me down, kid! I'm looking forward to it a lot." Genghis Khan patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and said.

It was because of you that I withdrew my troops from Khwarezm early. You must not let me down. I also hope that this new weapon you have developed can destroy Tongguan of the Jin Kingdom and the large city wall. Done!
Zhang Yong nodded, gave Genghis Khan a reassuring look, and then left the military tent.

After returning home, Zhang Yong took a short rest and began copying books.

Zhang Yong uses simplified characters for writing, which is a layer of insurance. Simplified characters are still different from some traditional Song Dynasty Chinese characters.

Moreover, the writing method is also modern, and to add some confidentiality, Zhang Yong also wrote in a rather sloppy way, highlighting one thing that only he can understand.

Even if there are some Han civil servants, it is estimated that it will take a long time to figure out which word means which meaning. Different times have different meanings for some Chinese characters.

Moreover, some important formulas and data were written using modern Arabic numerals and chemical equations, which no one in this era could understand.

I'm not worried about leaks or anything.

After all, classical Chinese is popular in this era, and Zhang Yong would still confuse many people if he wrote it directly in vernacular.

And now all the things I have copied have been taken out.

For example, there are recipes for allicin, penicillin, gasoline, explosive packets, heartless cannons, some soil fertilizers, pesticides, and even some recipes.

There are also some important information. Zhang Yong will not copy them out until his territory is completely stable. It is safest to put them on his mobile phone now.

After completing the day's copying task, Zhang Yong went back to sleep with his wife in his arms.

The next day, Zhang Yong did not leave the city. Instead, he took a group of gunpowder masters and started making explosive bags. He also went to the foundry to take back his heartless cannon.

"Master God Envoy! You are here. We had already made the things yesterday, but you never came." Seeing Zhang Yong's arrival, the craftsman in charge of casting ran over and said.

"Well! We were conducting some experiments yesterday, so there was a delay. Let's get something today. Have you already cast it?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master God, come and take a look, we have finished it." The foundry craftsman pulled Zhang Yong to a brass-colored barrel that was more than one person tall.

This is a huge gun tube about two meters long. The muzzle is as big as a basin. The whole body is brass-colored, and the inside is made of some iron sheets.

Zhang Yong stepped forward and knocked, and the gun body made a crisp sound. He checked around again, and then nodded with satisfaction. The quality was not bad.The propellant of the Heartless Cannon is separated from the explosive package, and a baffle needs to be made so that the Heartless Cannon can be fired.

"How much does this cannon weigh?" Zhang Yong asked.

There is no problem in terms of sturdiness, and it doesn't have a firing principle like a cannon, so he doesn't need to worry about exploding the chamber.

But it seems like this one is a bit heavy!
"Sir, this cannon body weighs more than 500 kilograms. It may take four or five strong men to lift it away." The foundry craftsman said.

Zhang Yong was speechless when he heard this. It weighs more than 500 kilograms, which is more than 250 kilograms. Is this a fucking giant cannon?
The barrel of the heartless cannon is estimated to weigh forty or fifty kilograms, and only two soldiers can lift it away. The most outstanding thing is that it is easy to carry.

But now you have cast a big guy weighing more than 400 kilograms!It would take at least seven or eight people to carry it away.

This is a super bulky type. If you don't press the wheels, you can't take it away at all.

"No, this one is not qualified. This one needs to be recast. You can control the weight of each one to about 80 kilograms, and the maximum cannot exceed [-] kilograms." Zhang Yong said.

This weight makes it easy to carry and store. For a big guy weighing [-] kilograms, forget it!
"This!! If Lord God Envoy only weighs sixty to eighty pounds, wouldn't it be a bit too thin?" the blacksmith said with some embarrassment.

They also have some cannon-type ones here. Logically speaking, it is appropriate to cast a caliber of such a large caliber weighing more than 60 kilograms. Isn't it just a small layer of iron?

No kidding!
"Just do what I say, 60 to 80 kilograms. If you really can't do it, you can make some big wooden barrels first, and then wrap a layer of iron sheet on the barrels. That's okay." Zhang Yong said.

"This! Lord God Envoy, we know it and will do it according to your request." The craftsman gritted his teeth and said.

This is what you asked for, and we will do it as you say. Can such a thin layer really launch things?

After instructing the craftsmen to recast, Zhang Yong returned to the gunpowder factory and began to prepare the explosive packages. He also went to the ordnance factory to prepare some trebuchets and some skilled trebuchet operators.

It seems that the production of the heartless cannon is not as simple as I thought. It may be difficult to complete it in one month!

Now we can only hope for the trebuchet.

On that day, Zhang Yong and a group of gunpowder masters worked hard to make dozens of explosive packets of about ten kilograms.

Early next morning!

Zhang Yong took Genghis Khan and several Mongolian generals to the explosion experiment site, where a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and dummies had been prepared in advance.

"Zhang Yong, are you preparing these cattle, sheep, and horses for experiments?" Genghis Khan asked.

"Yes, Khan! These ordinary cattle and sheep can simulate infantry, war horses and dummies, and they can imitate cavalry. Put armor on the war horses, and put raw pork and armor on the dummies to simulate heavy cavalry." Zhang Yong said.

"Khan! I don't think it's necessary to take so much trouble! We only need to look at the power of its explosion to know how many people it can kill and injure. These cattle and sheep are broken into pieces and can be eaten by the soldiers, but these war horses What a pity." A Mongolian general said.

Some other Mongolian generals also nodded.

Obviously, they didn't quite agree with Zhang Yong's method of using war horses for experiments.

"This is just to simulate the most realistic effect. If you don't like the sweat, we can also use some Trojan horses and wooden people to replace it." Zhang Yong said.

"I can still afford these cattle, sheep, livestock and war horses. Besides, these things are what I allow Zhang Yong to do. You don't need to say more. Just take a closer look." Genghis Khan waved his hand and said.

It was just some cattle and sheep, which he was still willing to spend, and Zhang Yong was right. It was easier to simulate real scenes with these livestock, which was a good way.

Zhang Yong nodded and began to give Genghis Khan the first wave of demonstrations.

Soon, a blaster ran over and carried out the detonation work, while Zhang Yong and Genghis Khan watched from more than 300 meters away.

Placing the explosive pack in front of the sheep, the blaster lit the fuse, then quickly ran behind an earth wall dozens of meters away, and lay down with his head in his hands.

Boom!Boom!
With a loud noise, a large amount of white smoke, and sparks appeared, several sheep were directly blown to pieces.

A powerful explosion shock wave came oncoming.

Even Genghis Khan and all the Mongolian generals who were watching trembled, and even some generals took a step back!
Fear was written on his face.

The huge power of the explosion frightened these prairie people for the first time.

Mongolians are actually very afraid of thunder, and this huge noise is very scary to them.

But only Genghis Khan remained calm and unafraid.

"Okay, okay, it's so powerful! If these were horses and people, they would probably be blown to pieces on the spot."

"I don't know if this thing can even explode city walls."

"Louder than thunder! This thing is very powerful. If it explodes in the infantry formation, the entire army will collapse." Genghis Khan looked at Zhang Yong and smiled, then said.

Yes, yes, Zhang Yong really lived up to his expectations.

If this exploded among the infantry, it would kill at least a dozen people, and some of the surrounding infantry would definitely collapse their psychological defenses and start to flee.

"There are other things coming next. Please take a look, Khan. Below are simulations of light cavalry and heavy cavalry." Zhang Yong said.

The one I just used was just a dozen kilograms of explosive bag. After all, I was just dealing with some goats. There was no need to use too good a bag. The next step was the ten kilogram explosive bag.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The violent sound of the explosion made all the horses on the scene become restless, and several horses even broke away from their owners and began to run crazily into the distance.

The scene ahead was too bloody and terrifying. Those war horse dummies were blown to pieces, and their flesh was even burnt.

There were no dead horses, but they fell to the ground and kept wailing.

The ears of some Mongolian generals were hurt by the explosion.

This explosion, this terrifying lethality, completely shocked them.

It’s so powerful!For ordinary soldiers, this is simply divine punishment!

As long as this thing explodes nearby, ordinary soldiers will collapse emotionally.

"Hahaha! This is a good thing, good boy, you have prepared a good thing for me!" Genghis Khan said excitedly.

After gasoline, Zhang Yong gave him another huge surprise.

The effect of this thing is much better than gasoline, especially during siege warfare.

At this time, Genghis Khan seemed to have seen the scene where the walls of Xixia collapsed under the power of this explosive bag.

He was already looking forward to the next trebuchet experiment.

"Sweat! Let's try firing with a trebuchet next." Zhang Yong stepped forward and said.

"Okay! Someone come and set up the trebuchet for me." Genghis Khan nodded and said.

Under Genghis Khan's order, a large group of craftsmen began to assemble the trebuchet.
