Because of the availability of oil, Chu Feng suspended the research on tanks and began to study flamethrowers. As a top bodyguard in his previous life, he was very familiar with the use of gunpowder and explosives.
Chu Feng quickly thought of the gunpowder spray power, but the spray gun also needed a soft leather tube, which was a big problem.
But soon, Chu Feng was prompted by several blacksmiths and thought of iron pipes, the kind of fixed and curved iron pipes, instead of leather pipes. However, the direction of this kind of musket hitting was too single. At most, it could only be left, right, up and down. When strafing, it is impossible to switch directions like upper left and upper right.
But even if he couldn't change directions flexibly, Chu Feng was extremely satisfied.
The oil drums were also made into well-sealed iron drums. Because they were large and inconvenient for soldiers to carry, they were placed directly on the carriage and connected to iron pipes. The soldiers stood three meters away from the carriage and sprayed outwards.
The technology is still relatively rough, and it can only spray more than thirty meters at most, and more than ten meters recently.
And it only takes one to twenty seconds to spray once, and it can spray seven or eight times continuously, so the nozzle of the spray gun needs to be cooled.
However, even so, Chu Feng is already very satisfied. It is definitely a big killer on the battlefield and can well make up for the weakness of the Musketeers.
Because the enemies, especially the cavalry, are swarming and charging. Once they break through to the musketeers, even if the musketeers have bayonets, there is still a gap between them and those opponents who fight in close combat, and they can be easily killed!
But now that there are musketeers, even if the opponent's cavalry rushes forward, they will be burned to death when encountering this fierce fire spray! Especially the fierce fire has absolute suppression on the war horses!
Not to mention war horses, even tigers should be frightened and run away when they see fierce fire! Therefore, the flamethrowers definitely make up for the weakness of the musketeers in close combat.
As for chariots, Chu Feng naturally got a lot of insights about chariots from many old carpenters. Of course, Chu Feng also saw large chariots in movies and TV series in his previous life.
I quickly drew a sketch, and then conducted research with some old carpenters and veterans with experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, and continued to improve. Finally, I really came up with a fire-breathing chariot!
There are six wheels, two slightly smaller ones at the front and four larger ones at the back. It is very convenient for steering and the stability is also very good.
Through the composite structure of pulleys and ladders, the chariot usually looks slightly longer and taller than a normal carriage. But during the battle, through the stirring of the soldiers, the pulling of the ropes, and the combination of boards and ladders, the entire vehicle reached a height of seven or eight meters!
A total of four levels of soldiers can stand in the queue. The bottom and outer perimeter are naturally flamethrowers, the first level inside is musketeers, the second level is musketeers, and the top level is grenade soldiers, which mainly throw sky mines and incendiary bombs.
And each chariot has fifty swordsmen, who are responsible for pushing the chariot and protecting it.
The swordsmen are very powerful and have a high force value, especially when they are fully armed, with stainless steel armor all over their body, and even a mask! The protection is simply invincible. Of course, most of the swordsmen are tall and burly barbarians!
Chu Feng really wanted to develop artillery, but unfortunately the steel pipes were always not up to standard. The barrel is different from the barrel, it requires a higher degree of heat resistance and is more stringent.
The barrel made by the blacksmith can be sprayed twice at most, and the muzzle will be extremely hot. Although it will not deform, it will crack.
This thicker seamless steel pipe technology stumped Chu Feng. But this problem is really not something that old blacksmiths can solve. This is a new technology.
Chu Feng also thought about using copper to cast bronze cannons, but the cost of bronze cannons was too high, and their power was also very average. If you fired four or five cannons in a row at most, the muzzle would be so hot that it would easily explode!
Therefore, Chu Feng didn't like that thing at all and only thought about how to make a steel cannon. Even that little steel cannon.
As Chu Feng manufactured weapons and chariots, his soldiers and horses were also integrated and managed. The Fengjiang City Guards, plus the Barbarian Business Guards, actually amounted to more than 11,000 people! And there are many barbarians who want to join Chu Feng's escort team.
Moreover, many large workshops have been expanded, especially cement workshops, and even branch workshops have been opened outside the big city of Jiangyuan and next to Nanchang City.
The only thing that dissatisfied Chu Feng was that he couldn't leave Fengjiang at will. Until now, he had not seen Xue'er, the son he gave birth to!
Thinking of Xue'er, who was fair-skinned, beautiful and in great shape, Chu Feng wanted to rush back to the capital. Especially the braised pork made from the pigs I taught Chujiazhuang to raise is really delicious. And Ling'er's cute and sensible little maid, I don't know if she's doing well now...
I also thought about the supplies I sent to my father in the north some time ago, especially the lint coat. I wonder if my father has put it on?
It's autumn here in Fengjiang City. It should be very cold in the north, right? If only Your Majesty would let me lead the army to fight against the Huns.
Chu Feng was thinking wildly for a while and didn't notice that the second Miss Cao family came to his side. Smelling the familiar fragrance, Chu Feng didn't even look back, he stretched out his hand and took the naturally beautiful Miss Cao into his arms and placed her on his side. on the legs.
"Bad guy, I'm here to say goodbye to you. In a few days, my father's fiftieth birthday will be celebrated and I have to rush back. Why don't you say goodbye to me?"
Miss Cao Er snuggled into Chu Feng's arms and didn't stop him despite his dishonest hands. Anyway, he had already finished eating her. Of course, I also ate him up extremely cleanly.
"Although my husband really wants to go back with you, Your Majesty is very careful and won't let me leave Fengjiang. Tomorrow, you can go to the treasure house to pick out some treasures. This can be considered a filial piety from my son-in-law."
Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
Now he can definitely make a fortune every day, and he has endless amounts of food, because his business is so big and the profits are huge.
"Husband, I want you." Miss Cao Er lay next to Chu Feng's ear, praying softly with a blushing face. She even took the initiative to stretch out her little hand and slid it down Chu Feng's robe.
Chu Feng smirked and placed the once unruly and arrogant daughter of the Cao family who looked down on him on the desk...
"Master, the envoy from Korea is here and wants to see him."
Shuang'er's voice sounded outside the window. Miss Cao Er, who was naked at the desk, was so embarrassed that she hugged Chu Feng tightly, worried that Shuang'er would peek at her!
"If the Koryo envoy doesn't go to the capital, why come to Fengjiang? Let them wait."
Chu Feng said loudly to Shuang'er outside the window.
An hour later, Chu Feng met the Korean envoys. Unexpectedly, the third princess of Korea came in person. As expected, the third princess of Korea has an aura of ice and snow, and is very cold. The delicate little face on the snow-white jade neck looks like jade carved from ice.
But Chu Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "Princess, Smecta!" These words instantly confused the third princess and the leader of the envoy group, Master Cui.
