It's really boring, I won't play it anymore. "
On Ma'an Mountain, looking at the Qing troops coming in like a tide and receding like a tide, Li De was like a child who got an advantage but behaved well, pointing at the retreating Qing troops and laughing.
"It's a pity that there are still too few such good artillery. If there were four to five hundred more, they would definitely be able to hold back the Qing army that just rushed to the front." After laughing, Li De couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, more than a hundred mortars may seem like a lot, but in the face of a huge position of thousands or tens of thousands of people, it will seem a bit powerless.
The reason why the attacking Qing army was instantly defeated was mainly because they were caught off guard.
Although the mortar bombardment just now was violent, the number of casualties caused to the attacking Qing army was estimated to be only more than a thousand people. If the Qing army can organize their attack well, I believe they can quickly reach the foot of Ma'an Mountain.
"That's it, you guy. There are four to five hundred more. Do you think it's Chinese cabbage?" Li De's words made Zhang Rui on the side twitch his lips and said.
"King Han, that's not what you said. I am also thinking about the combat effectiveness of our army. If there are more, of course it will be better!" Li De replied with a bitter smile.
"You don't understand, this thing, it's easy to make this artillery, but the real difficulty is the shells." Zhang Rui replied.
"Ordinary black gunpowder can explode, but it is not very powerful. And this powerful yellow gunpowder is almost equivalent to the price of gold. If a cannonball drops, it is equivalent to dropping a ball of gold."
"What? So expensive?" Li De exclaimed.
"Otherwise, how do you think that once the cannon goes off, there will be ten thousand taels of gold?" Zhang Rui said.
"Those bastards just ended it with one blow. It's not worth the price. The shells hit me and it hurts my heart. It's better to build less." Li De couldn't help but feel sad.
"That's not to say. The lives of brothers will always be the most precious in my heart. The reason why cannonballs are expensive now is because the manufacturing technology has not yet been developed. When the technology is developed in the future, the price will naturally decrease, and this yellow gunpowder It will become the mainstream trend in the future battlefield." Thinking of the humiliation suffered by modern China during World War II, Zhang Rui couldn't help but sigh.
Yellow gunpowder generally refers to picric acid, TNT or nitroglycerin.
Picric acid and TNT require a series of chemical purifications, so they are not easy to produce. What Zhang Rui chose was Nobel's diatom nitroglycerin.
Compared with picric acid and TNT, the raw materials of diatom nitroglycerin are relatively easier to obtain.
Among the diatom nitroglycerin, the most difficult to obtain is nitric acid. Currently, Zhang Rui has no other good method and can only use the most primitive method, which is to obtain nitric acid through the dry distillation of saltpeter.
However, the dry distillation of nitric acid consumes a lot of equipment, and the efficiency is not high. You can imagine the money it costs.
At the same time, in order to ignite diatom nitroglycerin, mercury fulminate also needs to be produced. Mercury fulminant also consumes nitric acid, so Zhang Ruicai said that the price of one shell is equivalent to gold.
"King Han, you don't have to speak so politely, I can't understand you anyway." Li De smiled and replied.
"Okay, telling you this is like playing harp to a cow. I'm too lazy to say it. Taking advantage of the spare time now that the Qing army has retreated, organize all the things of the organization and prepare the things that need to be prepared. It is estimated that the Qing army will be there again in a while. We will organize troops to attack." Zhang Rui ordered.
"Yes, King Han, I will go and give the orders right away." After Li De said that, he left immediately.
Watching Li De leave, Zhang Rui couldn't help but recall the scene when he just captured Zhilian Mountain two years ago.
"At that time, there were dangers everywhere. I only had a broken knife in my hand, and I just got through it. Now there are still dangers everywhere, can I get through it?" Zhang Ruinan said nervously.
With that said, Zhang Rui looked down the mountain again. What he looked at happened to be the twelve miniguns that he had specially made for this war.
"Haha, what am I worried about? Wild boar, you are very powerful, but I do have a butcher knife in my hand." Thinking about it, Zhang Rui couldn't help but feel better.
