Chapter 358: Self-defense with Artillery
At the Huidun City Teahouse, Chen Cheng immediately stood up to greet the little fat man after seeing him coming up exhausted.
"Look who's here. This is the famous Acasto. Which warrior wouldn't want to remember your kindness now?"
The fat boy blushed a little at Chen Cheng's joke.
"Don't you know that you are the boss behind this? I am just working for you, and yet you are teasing me like this?"
After the little fat man sat down, he took a sip from the teacup and nodded:
"Finally I don't have to drink anymore. I've almost drunk too much at all the social events recently."
Chen Cheng was also concerned when he heard it:
"Why do you care so much? Just give it all to the guild. Do you really not want this body anymore?"
The little fat man waved his hand and said:
"Well, it's not that simple. Even if the guild supports you, you still have to fight hard, otherwise those old guys will have something to say."
The little fat man shook his head again as he spoke.
Chen Cheng had no real business experience, so he thought that as long as his product was good, unique, and supported by a large organization, it would definitely run well.
Because he had done the same thing with Brusto before.
However, he did not expect that Brusi was already a famous businessman and the richest man in the kingdom before he cooperated with him.
So he had already experienced the hardships in the early stages of starting a business.
But even so, Bruce put a lot of effort into the promotion of this subsequent cooperation.
Especially when it comes to business with nobles and large organizations, they look down on businessmen, and you have to work twice as hard if you want to gain their respect.
The little fat man then smiled and said:
"Well, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Although it's a little late, we are still here to celebrate the grand opening of our dojo.
Besides, I just went to see Aunt Mei with Elder Femis, so I don’t have much to do from now on.
Come on, cheers.”
As he said this, he raised his teacup and clinked it with Chen Cheng's, then drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, the two of them reminisced about the past for a while.
While the two were chatting happily, the fat man secretly told Chen Cheng that the plan he had written to him to use the bank to target Prince Xiao Suo had already taken shape.
From now on, there will be letters coming from there every month, which will contain detailed information about Prince Xiao Suo's property status.
“To be honest, I really didn’t expect that I would dare to cheat the prince again in this life.
But to be honest, this prince is such a jerk. He actually insulted Teacher Melinda like that. He deserves it."
The little fat man whispered in Chen Cheng's ear.
When it comes to Prince Xiaosuo Chen Cheng, he doesn't care at all. Talking too much about such a scumbag will only make people feel disgusted.
After the two of them had some food and drinks in the teahouse, Chen Cheng pulled the little fat man up and said:
"Let's go, we have some work to do today."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? That thing is right there and it won't grow legs and leave by itself. Besides, don't you know how to use it?"
The little fat man wiped his mouth and said.
Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at the little fat man and said:
"I know what's the use. The Earl also needs to know it. Why don't you give him some time to get familiar with it?"
As soon as he said this, the little fat guy remembered, and then he slapped his forehead and said:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up. Be careful not to make the count wait too long and get angry."
Then the fat man pulled Chen Cheng into the carriage and asked the driver to drive faster.
After leaving the city, we went around a few hills and then heard a loud explosion.
The carriage they were riding in was also stopped by a checkpoint on the road.
Chen Cheng and the other man did not make things difficult for the sentry. They got out of the car, showed their passes, and strode in.
This is a newly built barracks, which was originally used for Xiao Dun and his men to familiarize themselves with and practice new combat tactics.
Now Xiao Dun and his team are already in Nanmu Forest, commanding the construction of checkpoints, and no one knows who is firing the cannons inside.
When the two entered the camp, they saw the Knight Guards led by Xiao Dun to open up the forest.
After that, the two of them arrived at the testing ground and saw Huidun learning how to calibrate and fire under Xiaodun's instruction.
When Huidun saw Chen Cheng and the other man, he smiled and waved his hand at them:
"Look carefully, how accurate is my shot?"
After saying that, he pulled the gun rope, and with a bang, a howitzer shell was fired from the barrel at supersonic speed. Less than ten seconds later, another shell hit the target in front.
Looking at the results he achieved, Huidun was very happy.
At this time, Chen Cheng came to his side and said:
"I thought the Earl hadn't arrived yet. I didn't expect you had already called back Knight Commander Xiao Dun to test the artillery here."
Huidun was cleaning the barrel of the gun and preparing to dismantle the gun as he spoke:
"At your speed, I'm afraid I won't understand this cannon until the day we set out."
"Besides, there isn't much to do with the pioneer group. The main thing is to build the border checkpoints. I'll leave this to Tophis."
Chen Cheng nodded, and then followed Huidun to dismantle the cannon.
The transportation of the artillery had been taken into consideration before, so Chen Cheng had already improved the production process of the artillery, making the joints of the gun body as simple as possible to facilitate disassembly and loading into the space bag.
Soon the gun body and the gun mount were separated, and then the two parts were put into space bags respectively.
After lifting the space bag, the two began to take the gun body and gun mount out of the space bag, and then quickly assembled them.
Then he readjusted it, calculated the muzzle angle and loaded another round.
With a loud bang, this time the shell missed the target.
Then he calculated for a while and lowered the muzzle slightly, and this time he hit the target with one shot.
Such a result is already very good among hand-operated artillery, but Chen Cheng thought about the time it would take to use it, and then thought about the danger of the ruins they were going to this time.
Then he shook his head and said:
"No, this is too slow. We can't take him to the ruins."
When it comes to bringing artillery for self-defense to the ruins, it was Huidun who first came up with the idea. Before Xiaodun and his team set out to explore, Xiaodun submitted a preliminary report on the tactics of the new artillery.
Then Huidun remembered that he still had cannons, weapons with great destructive power that did not require magic energy.
There are all kinds of dangers in this ancient ruins, and there are forbidden magic circles in many places.
This firearm does not require magic and has great destructive power, so Huidun thought of bringing artillery to explore the ruins.
Huidun looked at the target area where a big hole was blown out. The power of this artillery was really great.
But what Chen Cheng said was not wrong. It took too long to assemble and launch this large artillery.
Then Chen Cheng said to the knight beside him:
"Replace some mortars for us, but don't use large-caliber ones."
The knight quickly went to the warehouse and took out several 81mm mortars.
Each of these mortars weighs no more than 50 kilograms. Not only can it be directly put into the space bag, but the operation steps are also extremely simple.
