Lord Zhang Fei-Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Gunfire

Zhang Fei kept thinking about the recent developments. It turned out that his mother brought him here regarding cultivation matters, but didn’t know about the hand cannons. It seemed that she had been worrying too much. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

After a while, Zhang Fei shrugged and turned to his mother. “Mother, yesterday I asked Uncle Mammoth to help me make some interesting things. If mother is fine with it, I want you to try it out with us.”

“Huh, ok.” Zhang Xuan’er also knew that Zhang Fei would often make some interesting things out, and she couldn’t help but become curious. “What are these things?”

“Mother will see soon.”

The three people immediately walked out of the house, anxious of what was to come.

Sisters, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong, were looking at each other, holding hand cannon outside the house.

Qiu Shuang held a blazing fire high with her left hand, while her right hand was holding a hand cannon. She squinted one eye into the barrel, turning the handle of the gun towards the sky. All of a sudden, she shouted at Qiu Hong. “Oh, there is light inside it. I saw a little light shining inside it.”

“Where is the light?” Qiu Hong also followed Qiu Shuang’s direction, holding another hand cannon by the barrel, and squinting one eye into it.

Still with Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong sharp eyes, they saw Zhang Fei and the three people coming out of the house. They hurriedly put down the hand cannon in their hands, and greeted them, starting with Zhang Xuan’er. “Clan mother, you are coming out.”

Zhang Xuan’er nodded gently, and Zhang Fei stepped forward and took the hand cannon from Qiu Shuang, and said to Zhang Xuan’er. “Mother, this is the good thing I asked Uncle Mammoth to make. I call it ‘hand cannon’. ”

Zhang Xuan’er looked curiously at Zhang Fei’s hand, only to see Zhang Fei flattened the hand cannon, took a peek in one direction, and then said. “If the child’s idea can be successful, its attack power is quite strong. Yes, you can even kill a low-level monster with it.”

Zhang Xuan’er took the hand cannon that Qiu Hong handed over, flipped left and right, and asked, “Such a strange thing, I don’t know how to use it?”

Zhang Fei couldn’t help laughing. “Mother is too anxious. Please, wait for your child to demonstrate it for you.”

They found a good place next to the stone house as an experimental site.

According to Zhang Fei’s request, Mammoth had made the loading chambers of the three hand cannons in different sizes. In this way, it was convenient to test the ratio of the charge and the power.

They saw Zhang Fei first picked up the smallest hand cannon, filled the loading compartment with the black powder, inserted the prepared artillery letter through the small hole in the powder chamber, and took a thin wooden stick carefully.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei found a few slender stones on the ground and put them into the barrel of the gun. He also pressed it a few times with a small wooden stick.

After everything was ready, Zhang Fei couldn’t help but smile slyly at everyone. Zhang Xuan’er and Mammoth looked at Zhang Fei with suspicious and curious eyes. They didn’t know what Zhang Fei was doing this time around.

The Qiu sisters were cautiously hiding behind Zhang Xuan’er. With the lessons of yesterday, the two sisters are always careful to guard against Zhang Fei.

They saw Zhang Fei looked around the crowd, and then said to Mammoth. “Uncle Mammoth, you are the best here. I think, I will leave this experiment to you.” With a wicked smile, Fei Immediately handed the hand cannon into the hands of Mammoth.

When the sisters Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong saw them, they couldn’t help but sighed softly. They thought to themselves how lucky they were. At the least, no innocent workers were called this time.

Otherwise, looking at this posture of Mammoth, even if they didn’t die this time, it would almost peel off their bodies. After everything was set, they looked at Mammoth with pity in their eyes.

But Mammoth did not say anything, and took the hand cannon unequivocally. Only if the Qiu sisters knew what Mammoth’s cultivation base was, that not even a direct hit by a land cannon would damage his body, not to talk of this little toys.

After Zhang Fei explained to Mammoth how to use the hand cannons, the three of them retreated five or six meters away with their mother to look at Mammoth.

Mammoth ignited the gun according to Zhang Fei’s instructions, and he immediately raised the gun body, and aimed at the big tree twenty or thirty meters away in front of him.

Sisters Qiu Hong and Qiu Shuang, seeing the smoke from the hand cannon, immediately covered their ears in fright and closed their eyes.

Immediately after that, they heard a burst of ‘boom’ Sounds, and a string of white smoke burst out of the muzzle. Zhang Xuan’er couldn’t help frowning slightly by the loud sound, and then fixed her eyes on the big tree in front of her.

At this time, Zhang Fei had already ran towards the tree. Coming to the front to join him, they saw a tree as thick as three people, with a palm-sized bark off its body. The branches of two shrubs beside the big tree also broke a few twigs.

Observing these damage points, Zhang Fei couldn’t help muttering, “Not there yet. It seems that the size of the loading chamber is still not good enough, and the power is a bit small.”

At this time, massive crowd also came from behind, staring at the gap in the bark, and talking among themselves.

Zhang Fei took the hand cannon from mammoth and checked the powder chamber and barrel carefully. There was no crack in it. It seemed that the endurance of hand cannon itself should be no problem.

After returning to the empty space, Zhang Fei picked up the hand cannon that was slightly larger in the chamber room. After loading the materials according to the previous method, it was handed over to Mammoth.

At this moment, twenty or thirty young people, armed with weapons such as sticks and spears, suddenly rushed from the direction of the tribe. They were obviously shocked by the sound just now.

Everyone quickly ran to Zhang Xuan’er, and suddenly began to ask her different questions.

“Clan mother, what was that sound just now?”

“Clan mother, is there any danger here?”

After the burst of noise for a few seconds, Zhang Xuan’er couldn’t help but waved to everyone to be quiet. Then he said to them, “Don’t worry, people. It was Wei who was experimenting with a new weapon just now. Everyone is here just right, just watch it by the side.”

After that, Zhang Xuan’er couldn’t help but nodded to Mammoth, indicating that it was time to start. I saw that Mammoth ignited the gun letter according to the steps just now, and immediately pointed the muzzle at the big tree in front.

They heard a burst of ‘boom...’ in their ears, and a string of white smoke burst out of the muzzle all at once.

The tribesmen couldn’t help but shrank their necks in terror. Some people even closed their eyes or covered their ears in shock. After a long while, it gradually eased up.

Zhang Fei ran to the tree and looked carefully. He nodded with a smile. It was not too bad. In addition to finding an extra mark on the tree this time, he also found a hole. Inside the hole, he could vaguely see an inlaid broken stone.
