Xue Shao returned to the city of Black Sands, and the people were sleepy.But he could not bear the physical overdraft, and just dismounted from the horse and took several relatives into the largest mountain forest near the Black Sand City.

At the behest of Xue Shao, Xue worked hard here for several years.In addition to building this broken little earthen city into a large army castle, he also raised a large number of military horses, which made Xue Shao have enough horses to use north to shoot today.

However, these are not the most important.

The real "power" of the black sand is that it is in a jungle that even ordinary generals cannot easily enter.This mountain forest originally had no name, so it was only fought here during the previous Pei Fang Dynasty, so Xue Shao named it "Lian Shengshan" to commemorate the two victories of Pei Xingjun.Of course, there is motivation and encouragement for him.

Into the mountain, the layers of the level of the check-in are very strict.Xue Shao's unimpeded face, which can be used as a pass here, must be issued by Xue Nei personally issued a military warrant.All the way in and out for a long time, from noon until evening, Xue Shao's party finally stopped in front of a large cave.There was a huge iron gate at the mouth of the cave, in addition to dozens of heavily armed sergeants, and a large killer guard like the Volt's giant crossbow.

Among them, an old acquaintance finally recognized Xue Shao's face.

This old acquaintance may not be inconspicuous in the black sand area, but in the Central Plains area is definitely the first person in the famous earthquake-rearing river - Helian Lonegawa!

No one would have thought that the first gatekeeper of Hongmen would recede at the peak of his life.He handed the Hongmen like the sun and the sky to the emperor Foujie, one of the four gatekeepers, and then took his beloved beauty back to the river and disappeared into the eyes of the world overnight.

Even more, no one thought that the Helian Lonegawa, who should have enjoyed life after returning to Xincai, would appear thousands of miles away from the black sand border plug, and never left this mountain forest again.

“Scully, you’re finally here!”Helian Lonely River is still the same way, not inferior.

"Brother Helian, the beauty is still there."Xue Shao looked up at him, "The old way, no change."

“It’s changed, it’s changed a lot.”Helian lonely river smiled, "I used to think about the only one thing in the past, but one day I did not kill blood, and I couldn't sleep at night."Now, I am like an old man in a country school, who spends all day studying the tattered iron wood scum, but he can still enjoy himself!"

“Oh, hey!”She laughed, “Life is amazing.Who would have thought that the famous Helian would be fascinated by these messy things?”

"Xi Gong is right, I'm really fascinated."Helian Lonegawa laughed, "I think I was just tired of fighting and killing, and I wanted to take my wife to hide away from a few days of quiet pastoral life, but I fell into this mountain forest and from now on, and can no longer be separated."

“Speaking of which, I’m still curious.How did you come up with this idea to help me study these things?”Xue Shao asked.

“Because I’ve heard of a horrendous feat.That shocked me very much."Helian Lonegawa said.

“Which brown?”

"The Battle of Nogen Water, your part of the body of the bombardment stormed into the Turkic camp.That's what shocked me.'Helian Lonegawa said, "I have been wandering on top of the river for half a lifetime, and the people who have spoken righteousness have not been rare."But I can talk about this kind of people, I have never seen it.On the grounds of this shock, I was very surprised to have an interest in those mines.What happened next was logical.It is only because Helian Lonegawa's life has always been a place of joy and a rate.The rest, I don't think much of it."

"A good place to be happy, rate."Xue Shao nodded and praised, "If Xue Mou can have half of your dashing, he will be satisfied."

“Oh, hey!”Helian Lonegawa laughed, "Xie Gong don't want to make fun of me - since he is here, may wish to see the results of Helian Lianchuan's hard work in the past few years?"

“I can’t wait, I’m here for that!”

“Shut up, please!”

Under the guidance of Helian Lonegawa, Xue Shao and his family walked into the path of the mountain.Although this is a secret military project initiated by Xue Shao himself, he came in for the first time here.It can be seen from this dug mountain road that in recent years, Xue Ning and Helian Lonegawa have not been very much, and those craftsmen and sergeants have suffered a lot of painstaking efforts.

Under the premise of today's productivity level and scientific and technological level, they can dig the entire mountain into the air without falling into a house, which can accommodate thousands of people living and study large military equipment, and some individual caves can even accommodate large aircraft?

After walking through the road for a long time, Helian Lianchuan finally stopped in front of a big iron door.The four walls of the iron door are all hard cement-cast walls, very thick.Wanting to come here must be a very important thing.

Helian Lianchuan took out the key and opened the iron door, "Xe Gong, please!"

Xue Shao went in.Under the torch of the corridor wall, he vaguely saw a large black figure lying in the room like an ancient beast.

Immediately a follower ordered a torch to come in, Helian Lianchuan did not stop, it seems that there is no such thing as gunpowder.

"What is this?" someone shouted in astonishment, "the giant thing is all made of steel?"

Compared with the surprise of the people, Xue Shao's heart is more excited, and there is a kind of joy after many years of old friends do not meet again.

The cannon?

What a long time!

“Dare to ask Xue Gong, how should this thing be named?”Helian asked.

Xue Shao touched the cold and rough cannon with his hand, paused for a moment, and said: "This thing is huge, its shape is like a tiger squatting and waiting to start, so call it - tiger squatting giant gun!"

“The Tiger Gun?“Hang on, hold on!”Helian Lonegawa rejoiced, “Okay!”

"Don't say good first."Xue Shao coldly threw him a cup of cold water, "Can you be worthy, are you sure?"

He Lianlan smiled and said, "It's generally useful."

“In general?”Xue Shao frowned, “How, the law of the general?”

Helian Lonegawa was right and said: "This thing can definitely be successfully shot, with the help of mountain heights, the furthest can hit from here to the city wall outside the gate, the range is about three thousand steps away."The lethality, if it falls on the herd, can kill at least two adult bulls at the same time.”

Xue Shao was happy in his heart and asked, “Then why do you only say that it is generally useful?”

"That's because it's certainly a big gap compared to what Xue Gong's mind imagines."Helian Ichikawa said, “In fact, it also has a small defect.”

“For example?”

“It’s too heavy to transport.”Helian Lonechuan said, "Not to mention how to transport it from this mountain to the mountain, that is, to the flat ground to encounter the mud, this heavy big guy will be deeply into the mud, a dozen people can not easily lift out."

He nodded his head, and his heart said that it was indeed difficult for Helian to be alone.According to the current level of steel casting, in addition to unlimited thickening of the pipe wall, it is indeed impossible to make the "gun" light and easy to carry.This is not an overnight effort, in other words, I Xue personally, may not be able to do better than him.I am neither a scientist nor an inventor.Compared to those of them who have not eaten pork, I have just "seen pigs running".

"There is another most fatal flaw."Helian Lonegawa is not obscure, bluntly said, "Its fired fireball is not easy to store, more difficult to transport."One is easy to be affected by moisture failure, and the other is easy to self-explosion and accidental injury in bumps and collisions.I am trying to find a way to solve these two major challenges.”

Xue Shao smiled and patted his shoulder, "It is not easy to do this in a few years."It's hard for you.There is no need to hurry, step by step.Perhaps it will take decades, if not generations, to make it perfect.”

"Yes, someone understands."Helian nodded and smiled, "Apart from my wife, someone has never been so fascinated by anything."I will spend the rest of my life with it all.When I die, my son will inherit me.Until one day, it becomes as perfect as Xue Gong imagined."

“All right.”Xue Shao nodded, then said, "Focus on reality, we will discuss again."According to you, the tiger squat cannon has enough range and is powerful.Launching from the mountain to the bottom is indeed an advantage of the land.Now my request is to allow it to accurately shoot near the two hundred steps of the city gate.Are you sure?”

“Yes.”Helian Lonegawa replied fairly positively, "This thing was born to defend the city gate, but once a large number of enemy troops came, the tigers and guns could instantly make them go up in smoke, and the ghosts cried the wolf!"

Xue Shao looked around and asked, “When the big gun blows, the shock is huge, and this time it is extremely closed, how do you deal with it?”

“Don’t worry about Xue Gong.”Helian Lonegawa said, "In fact, the roof of this stone house is active, and it will be removed when the shooting is fired."The wall in front needless to say that a certain use of the usual organs on the lake, it is designed as a living door that can be slid open at any time.There is also a large iron door behind, which will not be closed when shooting.Is it feasible?”

He grinned and said, “It’s so good.I think I'm really worried."

“No.One word can be heard, Xue Gong is the real master."Helian Lonegawa said, "Many shortcomings, one must often come to Xue Gong to teach."

“Let’s talk about it later.”“Tell me, how many guns do you have now?”

“One of them.”Helian lonely river grinned bitterly, "thousands of people tossed thousands of days and nights, only to complete the tiger squat in front of the giant gun...

"It's hard at the beginning, and you're already great."Xue Shao couldn’t help but tighten his heart and said, “Come here first today.”I’ll come back some other time.Then we'll talk again."

“All right.Congratulations to Xue Gong!”

Returning to the city of Black Sands, Xue Shao is still pondering: although the cannon is only an "assisted" role in my military plan, it is really difficult to help a lot with this cannon.Especially for Yuanzhen, he has already suffered and will definitely be strictly guarded against similar measures for me.At that time, the cannon will also be discounted to the Turkic power...

Suddenly, there was a cry next to him, “Xe Gong!”

Sounds familiar!

He said, “Why did this guy come?”

Li Xianyuan, who is about to become a fat pig, Li Xianyuan, is holding a big belly shakes his ass, and he is full of joy.

“Shut up, Xue Gong, Xiao Xiao finally saw you alive!”
