Chapter 1391 It’s Posted, Damn, Let’s Really Post It (Second Update)

Chapter 1400

After hearing this, Guo Yan could only nod helplessly, and then ordered the generals around him to tell the soldiers to keep an eye on their weapons and ammunition, so that there should be no problems.

If there is no ammunition, then these cannons, which weigh more than a thousand catties, are not as useful to them as a dagger.

For this group of people, apart from a short knife no shorter than two feet pinned to each person's waist, there is no other weapon, and even the armor on their bodies is not the silver-colored Great Song Yuan Youjia of the Western Army elite.

But it's just a whole body of leather armor, only the breastplate looks like Da Song Yuan Youjia, which makes Wan Bin very curious. "General Guo, I'm sorry, I'm really curious, since you are from the imperial squad, why are the armor and weapons on your body so..."

"Those Yuanyou Shenwei cannons are our weapons. As for these, they are just in case. Within the range of my Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, the enemies who want us to use these things may not have happened yet. Come out." Without waiting for Guo Yan to answer, a young general next to him sniffed proudly and replied.

"May I ask who this little hero is..." Wan Bin was not annoyed by this bastard, turned his head with a smile, and asked the young man with a salute.

Cao Ye returned a salute to Wan Bin. "A certain is Cao Ye, a Wu Jinshi who was born in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and is currently a gunner of the Imperial Artillery of the Great Song Dynasty."

"It's actually Wang Wushan's student. He really is a young hero." Wan Bin chuckled. He had heard about the deeds that Wang Daguan worked in that imperial school. As for Cao Ye, the eyes were higher than the top The young man, if it wasn't one of the twins of General Cao, he would have written someone's name upside down.

"It's already this time, why haven't we arrived yet? Could it be that the ship broke down halfway or something happened?" Zhong Shidao stood on the edge of the pier, with a group of generals gathered behind him, all of them were talking non-stop. Looking at the sky that was getting darker and darker as the sun set, he couldn't help saying anxiously.

Even on the sea route from Dengzhou to Liaodong, the ships of Wanhong Trading Company have traveled countless times, but in this era without radar and sonar, sailing at night is still very dangerous.

After all, if you are a little careless and deviate from the waterway, if you hit the rocks, you will be forced to suffer. Maybe if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Zhong Shidao's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he was pacing the pier anxiously. At this time, the lighthouse standing on the top of a high protruding slope beside the pier had already ignited the fire inside, and the bright fire light , like a rising star, pointing out the direction of Dalian Wharf in Liaodong to ships dozens of nautical miles away.

Finally someone yelled loudly. At this time, they finally saw lights like stars on the sea in the distance, which meant that there was a fleet of ships coming this way.

As the signal tower next to the lighthouse signaled with flickering fire, and the approaching fire responded in a special way of flickering, Zhong Shidao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The elite teacher depicted finally arrived in Liaodong safely with the boat.

Soon after the ship docked, Wan Bin led a few generals towards this side, and Zhong Shidao turned his head and shouted at the soldiers around him.

"Cheer up your spirits, show me the aura of the Great Song Xijun, and don't let the people in the imperial court under the imperial court underestimate us."

"Promise!" All the generals of the Western Army straightened their spines and followed Zhong Shidao to meet them.

"The Deputy Artillery Commander of the Imperial Army ordered Guo Yan to come to General Zhong's tent to obey orders by the Holy Order." Guo Xuan gave a deep salute to Master Zhong who was walking towards him and said loudly.

Hearing such a self-proclaim, Zhong Shidao was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and strode forward to help Guo Tan and the generals. "General Guo, you generals don't need to be too polite. The arrival of General Guo and you generals can be regarded as a timely gift. It's just that the Imperial Artillery is newly established?"

"Actually, it's not a new establishment. It's just that in the past, for the sake of confidentiality, the Imperial Artillery has never been shown to others. If it hadn't come to the land of Liaodong, I really don't know when I would be able to show it to the public. In front of the eyes of the world." Guo Yan looked at this rather elegant-looking famous general of the Western Army and explained.

"Artillery? Such a strange name, General Guo, the last general is a little curious. Among the squads in front of the imperial court, the branch gate squad, the left squad in front of the hall, the right squad in front of the hall, and the straight squad in the inner hall are named after the guarding places. , while the golden gun squad, silver gun squad, bow and arrow squad, and crossbow squad are named after weapons, you artillerymen..."

"We are named after weapons. The reason why we are not called squads. That is because our Yuanyou Shenwei cannons can only be effective when they are in battle, so we are called artillery."

"Cannon... Haha, may I ask where your cannon is?" Another general of the Western Army looked at them for a long time, but he couldn't see where the weapons called cannons were hidden on these imperial artillerymen.

"Yuanyou Shenwei cannon ranges from six to seven hundred catties in weight to three to four thousand catties in weight. Naturally, it is impossible to carry such a weapon with you. They are still on the ship, waiting to be transported." The ships that were still mooring to the pier explained.

"...It's so heavy, yet there's a weapon that weighs three or four thousand catties? His grandma's, are those still used by humans?" A bumpkin general couldn't help but exclaimed.

Another general of the Western Army beside him couldn't help but cast a blank look at this guy and said with contempt on his face. "Don't talk about three or four thousand catties, even if it's six or seven hundred catties, how can you handle it?"

"The surname is Zhe, what the hell do you mean, I can't play tricks but you can play tricks?"

"It's because I can't play that I don't talk."

Hearing the noisy discussion behind him, and the strange expressions of Guo Yu and others, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Enough! Shut up!" Zhong Shidao turned his head with a dark face, and growled ferociously, these idiots are really embarrassing for the Song Xijun.

Hearing Zhong Shidao's roar, all the generals of the Western Army could only shut their mouths resentfully, and honestly rushed to play the heroic, powerful and strict military discipline of the Great Song Xijun.

"Generals, we are actually just the operators of those weapons, and the Yuanyou Shenwu Cannon is a powerful long-range weapon whose power and range far exceed the Yuanyou Trebuchet."

Hearing this, everyone let out an undisguised exclamation, which was naturally full of joy.

Zhong Shidao took a deep breath, and managed not to exclaim like those subordinates, but the strength of his big hand that tightly grasped Guo Yan's arm still exposed his inner unrest. .

"You mean those Yuanyou Shenwei cannons are powerful long-range weapons? How many have been shipped in total this time?"

"Fifty six-pound guns, two hundred twelve-pound guns, fifty twelve-pound long guns, ten thirty-pound short-barreled naval guns and ten twenty-pound naval guns. But those twenty It is used by the Jiaodong Navy..."

"There are so many, it's too much, damn it, we really got too big..."
