Chapter 368 Zhuge Liang Borrows the East Wind

After the test firing of the first shot, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, while Meng Chen's face was full of smiles.

Although he doesn't know the specific data of Hongyi Cannon, firearms are definitely not something that people can understand at the moment.

Just as Meng Qi and the others were working hard to clean the cannon barrel, a fast horse galloped over: "Report, the cannonball flew over a thousand steps away."

Hearing this, Meng Chen nodded, and the generals behind him let out a gasp: "Hiss!"

When I saw the Hongyi Cannon for the first time, Meng said that the range was more than [-] paces, mainly to prevent the generals from being too suspicious. After all, the distance of [-] paces is several times longer than that of all current long-range weapons.

Even so, Meng Chen privately asked Meng Qi to reduce the ratio of gunpowder in this test firing, otherwise the distance shot by this run would definitely be more than this.

But the distance of more than a thousand steps has already caused everyone present to widen their eyes and show unbelievable expressions!
"My lord, this cannon should be assigned to the last general. The Jiangdong navy will definitely have nowhere to escape." Liu Rengui stepped forward. If this kind of cross-age weapon is installed on a ship, who else can fight against it?

"No, no, my lord must not agree, my old Chen's pawns are most suitable for using this big tube." Chen Yaojin jumped out immediately.

Just when the two were about to compete with each other, the rest of the generals spoke up one after another, and even the restrained Zhao Yun also joined the battle.

"Everyone stop shouting, let's have a competition, and the winner will get this." It was Ma Chao who spoke.

"Hmph, boy Meng Qi, don't play tricks, don't think that I am a fool, who can beat brother Cun Xiao." Chen Yaojin replied angrily.

"How about this? How about we join forces to defeat brother Cunxiao, and then each of us spend a while?" This was Zhao Yun's idea, and everyone immediately echoed his words.

Li Cunxiao smiled helplessly, he was shot while lying down without saying anything, and Meng Chen coughed lightly when he saw everyone arguing.

"Okay, there is only one Hongyi Cannon at the moment, and Benhou naturally wants to keep it by his side." As soon as Meng Chen said this, everyone who was chattering just now immediately beat eggplants at Shuang.

Seeing that everyone was discouraged, Meng Chen said loudly again: "After defeating Jiangdong, Ben Hou asked Ma Jun to study and study carefully, and then arrange it according to the system."

"My lord, you can't lie to me!" Chen Yaojin was the first to jump out again.

"Yeah, no problem, if you don't lie to Rubenhou, who will you lie to?" Meng Chen joked, which immediately caused the generals to burst into laughter.

Although there was no result in this debate, Meng Chen had already made a promise to everyone.

But how did they know that Ma Jun suffered a lot in order to imitate this thing in the future.

Of course, this is all for later, so I won’t go into details for the time being!

After all this fighting, Meng Qi and the others were ready for the second test firing.

But this time, Meng Qi and the others spent a lot of effort before aiming at the grass crowd five hundred paces away.

"My lord, the preparations are complete." Meng Qi turned around and reported to Meng Chen.

"let's start!"

After getting the general order, Meng Qi lit the fuse on the cannon with a torch again without saying a word.

"Boom!" After another loud noise, everyone was once again shocked by the power of the Hongyi Cannon.

I saw the black projectile flying out, accurately falling into the scarecrow [-] paces away.

Suddenly a burst of smoke and dust was raised, and when the smoke and dust cleared, everyone hurriedly looked around.

The straw crowd five hundred paces away was already in a state of distress, and where the stone bullet passed, a long trace was drawn.

"Hiss! If this hit me, wouldn't there be such a big hole?" Chen Yaojin said while gesturing with his hands.

The power of a stone bullet is so powerful, if there are ten gates and eight gates, it is estimated that the enemy army will be defeated without charging!

"Okay! With this sharp weapon, why worry about failure!" Meng Chen yelled, today's two cannon test firing finally opened the eyes of Xiliang generals.

Just when everyone was talking, Shi A appeared on a fast horse.

"My lord, Huang Gai's messenger has arrived." Shi A got off his horse and reported to Meng Chen.

Hearing this, Meng Chen frowned. In the past, Huang Gai's messengers would arrive at night. If you come here at noon today, aren't you afraid of being discovered?

"My lord, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Liu Bowen stood beside Meng Chen and reminded him.

After returning to the camp, Huang Gai's messenger delivered Huang Gai's letter.

The content of the letter is not much, it just said that after the day and night of the explanation, I will lead my troops to vote.

"Hahaha, if the referendum comes to vote, the Marquis will naturally go to meet it in person." Meng Chen laughed loudly, and then handed the letter to Liu Bowen.

"Old General Huang also said that he will bring some food and grass." The messenger then added.

"Good! As soon as tomorrow's time is over, Ben Hou will greet you personally at the gate of the water village." Meng Chen said with a smile, and then waved to the messenger.

Looking at the direction where the messenger disappeared, Meng Chen, who had a smile on his face, suddenly became serious.

"My lord, Huang Gai is trying to cover up the obvious. After tomorrow, the boats he brought must be full of fire starters." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.

"Fire starter?" Meng Chen muttered, and then said: "Military Master, I'm afraid Huang Gai still lacks one thing."

"Hehe, if the wind direction doesn't change, it might turn into a fire." At this point, Liu Bowen paused, "Ji, I'm very curious, the wind direction after tomorrow..."

Before Liu Bowen finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then quickly walked out of the tent, staring at the sky for a long time.

After a while, Liu Bowen stretched out his right hand and began to count again.

"God's will! God's will!" Liu Bowen shook his head helplessly.

"Military teacher, so what if Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind? This Marquis already has an accurate version." Meng Chen laughed and said.

But he didn't notice at all that the way Liu Bowen stared at him had changed.

Leaving aside the trench dug in advance, why did Mengchen insist that it was Zhuge Liang's contribution?And where did this borrowed word come from?
Realizing his mistake, Meng Chen could only smile awkwardly!
In Jiangdong Daying, Zhuge Liang is wearing a Taoist robe today, barefoot and holding a mahogany sword in his hand, looking like a fairy.

"Zijing, can Zhuge Liang really borrow the east wind tomorrow?" Zhou Yu and Lu Su stood side by side, looking at Zhuge Liang who was doing on the altar and asked solemnly.

"Whether the governor believes it or not, Su believes that Kong Ming will surely borrow the wind." When Lu Su said this, his expression was so excited that Zhou Yu was speechless.

I thought to myself, I don't know what ecstasy soup Zhuge Liang poured into Lu Su, making him lose his basic judgment ability!

I thought so, but Zhou Yu said: "If Zhuge Liang really borrows the east wind, the governor will be exempt from his military law!"
