Chapter 1277 Is this the true power of artillery? (first update)
Chapter 1286

"This thing can actually throw stones?" The exclamation came from a fat man who weighed at least two hundred catties, um... it belonged to the Cao family, a nephew of General Cao Shi, what is his name specifically Wang Yang? I really don't know.

"...Your Majesty, please take a look at that direction." Wang Yang really didn't have the time to pay attention to the stupid questions of these guys, so he directly brought a telescope and handed it to the emperor, and then pointed to where the artillery was facing the area in front of it.

And the surrounding soldiers brought a lot of binoculars, and soon almost everyone had one, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Wang Yang's finger.

"There are still soldiers over there. Hey, why are there still a lot of sheep, chickens, and even cattle tied to wooden stakes? What's going on, Mr. Wang?" Wang Hou asked curiously while watching. A question that everyone present wanted to ask.

"It seems that there are still people who are fully armed and wearing armor?"

"Those are living creatures prepared to test artillery. Those armors are worn on dummies. Mr. Wang, how far do you think it is from here to there?" Wang Yang explained and turned to Wang Hou. asked rhetorically.

"From here to there, I'm afraid it will take one or two miles?" Wang Hou estimated and came to a conclusion.

"That's right, from the cannon position to the place where the cattle and sheep are bound, it's a total of two miles. After a while, the artillery will attack the living creatures two miles away from here." Wang Yang said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but gasped, and their eyes fell on Wang Yang.

And the emperor Zhao Xu, who had already learned about the previous cannon test from Wang Yang, but had not seen it with his own eyes, threw the telescope in his hand to Ma Shang who was beside him.

"My lords, instead of continuing to ask, why don't we take a good look at whether the new weapon developed by Wang Wushan is really as powerful as he said. Wang Qing, I hope you don't let me down. good."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations. Ladies and gentlemen, since you have seen the appearance of this weapon, please move into this bunker. After you test the gun for a while, you will understand its attack effect."

A closed thatched hut has been built tens of meters away from the artillery position.A large iron stove was already lit inside, so that the people who came all the way did not have to stand in the cold wind and tremble.

After the emperor stepped into the thatched hut, he noticed that the front of the thatched hut, about as high as the chest, was completely unobstructed, allowing people to see everything in the distance very clearly.

Following Wang Yang's call, the soldiers who had practiced for nearly a month in advance immediately began to move quickly. First, they transported the ammunition that had been put aside to the side of the artillery, then began to clean the barrel, and then began to charge the gun. Then start loading.

After about eighteen breaths, the reloading was completed, and the small yellow flag in his hand began to be waved. After a short time, the soldiers who had been in the artillery test area on the opposite side rushed to the side early to build a bunker for them Within minutes, this responded with a green flag.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, please test the cannon." A soldier in high spirits came to the thatched hut quickly and reported loudly to the emperor.

"I'm sure." Emperor Zhao Xu took a deep breath, nodded heavily and shouted.

"Everyone, please put this thing into your ears later, so as not to be hurt by the roar of the artillery. Mr. Wang is really not joking with you, please listen to it." Wang Yang hurriedly asked someone to bring it Cotton balls were distributed to everyone's hands.

Seeing Wang Yang speak so solemnly, even those young people who are not afraid of anything can't help but feel a little bit drummed in their hearts. After thinking about it, they decided to stuff this thing into their ears.

As the red flag waved down, everyone felt instantly, as if a thunder that changed the color of the world sounded in their ears, and even shook the snow foam on the stone surface of the observation port in front of them.

Those dandies who were still disapproving were so frightened that they almost peed, while the fat man from the Cao family, who was as strong as a pig, just sat down on the ground.

The Son of Heaven was also trembling from the roar of the cannon fire, but he quickly reacted and looked forward, which was the cannon test field.

He didn't make him wait too long, and soon, there was a flash of light over there, and then billowing thick smoke rolled in the air.In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be a thunderous roar.

"Ma Shang, go get the horse, I'll go and have a look in person." The Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't bear it any longer, and walked towards the outside of the thatched cottage, sternly yelling.

The group of people also looked shocked at this moment, and unconsciously followed the emperor's footsteps and left the thatched cottage, and were shocked by the cold wind outside the cottage, as if they had just woken up.

A group of people rode their horses and galloped wildly. Two miles was not far away, but the fast horses had to run for tens of breaths. After that, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

The living things I saw in the telescope before, at this moment, um, they are still alive, there is a cow, which is still twitching now, but there is a blood hole in its body, and it is constantly bleeding bright red. blood.

Many of the erected wooden stakes have been cut off by the fragments of shells, but the thick wooden stakes of the Shuan Niu are still standing, but on the top, you can still see a few deep cuts. Deep prints.

And the corpses of various living creatures that fell on the ground have already proved how powerful this long-range firearm is.

Under Wang Yang's signal, the soldiers who had already run out of the bunker lifted the two dummies wearing Yuanyou iron armor and ordinary iron armor and put them on the ground.

After Wang Yang jumped off his horse, he walked up to him and patted one of the dummy, which was originally extremely strong, but was deeply embedded with a piece of shrapnel at the position of the breastplate.

"Such a fine iron armor can't stop it..." Tianzi took a deep breath, and then turned his head to look at the artillery position. Two miles away, although the six artillery pieces can still be seen, but, has become very distant.

Di Yong turned over and jumped off the horse, walked up to him, and watched as the soldiers lifted off the deformed breastplate, revealing what was inside.

It was a large piece of pork ribs with skin. At this moment, after the breastplate was lifted, the shrapnel inlaid on the pork was finally pulled out from the pork with a pair of pliers.

And that piece of bloody cannonball fragments, at least penetrated the iron armor and penetrated into the flesh again.Seeing this, the grizzled Di Yong couldn't help but gasped. "Is this the power of artillery?..."

Those princes and nobles who rushed here one after another, the dudes, many of them changed their faces at this moment, and some even let out a wow after seeing the scene of those living things being gutted. , Vomited on the spot.
