    Jing Wen then fired several times in succession, and the fired thunder cannon was quickly doused with water by Goguryeo soldiers, and the sparks were extinguished and could not be detonated.  Jing Wen looked at this situation with a telescope and couldn't help but curse.  "These grandsons of Goguryeo actually came up with this method. It's a pity that our detonation method is still a primitive fuse detonation. If it is detonated by mercury fulminate, then how can I be afraid of you extinguishing it?" Jing Wen cursed.  Because today's thunder cannons are actually detonated through fuses, and in order to be safer and avoid exploding the barrel, the fuses are still relatively long.  It's not that Jing Wen doesn't want to make the lead wire shorter, but because if the lead wire is too short, it won't be good for his side's artillery.  If the chamber explodes at that time, it will be one of our own people who loses.  So Jing Wen deliberately made the lead longer, but now the enemy took advantage of it and used water to extinguish the sparks.  "Damn it, if these guys do this, how can we blow up the city wall?" Dugu Mou also complained.  If you can't blow up the city wall, it will be much more complicated to attack on your own.  When the time comes, Dugumou will risk setting up a ladder to attack, but the enemy will obviously not give them this chance.  So Dugumou also had a huge headache and didn't know how to solve it.  ¡°Brother-in-law, please think of a way!¡± Dugu Mou said.  And Jingwen began to wonder how to prevent the enemy from coming to extinguish these explosive packets.  Because if the enemy not only extinguishes the explosives, it means that the siege will be much more difficult.  "Hey! I have it!" Jing Wen said excitedly.  Soon, Jing Wen immediately asked the artillery to prepare again.  But what was prepared this time was not the thunder cannon, but the general cannon.  The prototype of this general's cannon is the Napoleon cannon, so Jing Wen can easily use the Napoleon cannon attack method.  "And Jing Wen asked the artillerymen to put shotshells, which are small particles of cannonballs, into the dozens of Napoleon cannons, and then put them into the barrels of the cannons.  It was soon ready to start firing, and this kind of cannon was used to kill ordinary unprotected living forces.  So it is very useful and very damaging to the troops who are defending the city.  "Bump bump bump" More than a dozen cannons were fired at the same time.  And the cannonballs were immediately dropped on the tower.  "Wow" A large group of Goguryeo soldiers were hit by cannons and fell to the ground casually. Apparently hundreds of people had been hit by these cannons, so they left one after another.  ¡°Get out quickly!¡± Yang Wanchun shouted.  Soon, Yang Wanchun was not an ordinary person. He immediately took advantage of the artillery firing distance to quickly retreat the soldiers under the tower.  And all this was seen by Jing Wen using a telescope.  "Thunder cannon, keep firing!" Jing Wen shouted.  The flying thunder cannon immediately began to prepare, and then fired more than ten explosive packets.  ¡°Boom¡ª¡ª¡± The explosive pack exploded again, and the city wall was immediately damaged with a serious wound.  "Damn it!" Yang Wanchun said angrily.  Yang Wanchun didn¡¯t expect it.  The enemy actually has a second mysterious weapon, which is the weapon of the general cannon just now.  The second weapon can fire small cannons one after another, and then use these cannons to kill the enemy.  As for the Goguryeo soldiers, they were all killed and wounded, but when they retreated, the enemy continued to fire such powerful thunder cannons.  So Yang Wanchun was very helpless. Did people rely on these flying thunder cannons to survive?  "Everyone, let me alternate firing, first fire the shotgun, and then fire the thunder cannon again, so alternately. The shotshells can cover the explosive packets!" Jing Wen said.  Jing Wen¡¯s method is also very simple, that is, to use shotguns to push back the soldiers and prevent them from extinguishing the explosive packets.  And if those soldiers who want to water the explosives come over and wet the explosive packets, they will inevitably be hit by shotgun shells.  So this is a very cruel method.  Cover the explosive charges with shotgun shells.  Although this cost is higher, it can still allow the city wall to be blown up smoothly.  Next, it seemed that the process went much smoother, and the explosive packs were launched onto the city wall many times.  And began to bombard the city wall in an effort to collapse the city wall.  The Goguryeo defenders were so anxious that they were obviously too difficult to deal with this enemy.  Their mysterious weapons can continuously blow up city walls.  And I can only watch.  Originally, the enemy's explosive packets could be doused by watering, but now Jingwen actually used this shotgun to cover the explosive packets of the flying thunder cannon. This caused Goguryeo to suffer heavy losses.  If this continues, it will be terrible, and the city wall will be blown up.  When Jingwen was preparing to fire the third round of thunder cannons, Jingwen suddenly saw "raining" above the Goguryeo City 400 meters away.?.  "Strange, why is it raining?" Jing Wen looked into the distance in surprise.  And Jingwen soon discovered that it was not raining, but someone in the city used some means to spray a lot of water onto the city wall.  And he can use this method to get the explosive bag wet.  Even if a small part was not wet, the vast majority was.  "Weird, they are artificially increasing rainfall? How do they do it?" Jing Wen complained.  Under the city wall of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun was directing the Goguryeo soldiers to use some machinery.  "Fortunately, the water pumping equipment we originally used was ready, otherwise it would have been really bad!" Yang Wanchun said.  I saw the Goguryeo people holding some pipes made of animal skins, and then spraying water out of these pipes, which was launched onto the city wall several meters high, and then the city wall was soaked.  As for the other end of the animal skin pipe, it was connected to a water well, and there was a set of equipment on the water well, which was a device that pumped water through air pressure. There were a dozen strong Goguryeo men operating this very laborious equipment.  If Jing Wen saw this, he would definitely know that this thing was actually the original water pumping equipment used in the remote rural area in later generations.  This can push water up through air pressure, but now this device is obviously very large and is used to pump large amounts of water.  But now it was actually used here by Yang Wanchun to defend his own flying thunder cannon.  Without the explosive packs of the thunder cannon, it would be impossible to cause damaging blasts to the city wall just by relying on these shotgun shells.  Therefore, Yang Wanchun's "artificial rain enhancement" really made Jing Wen helpless. After all, the explosives at this time were ignited by fuses, not those that could be detonated by fulminant mercury in later generations.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
