Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The sound of the horn is dull, but it can be heard far away.

The soldiers of Datang who heard the sound of the horn immediately assembled.

Different from the usual gatherings, this time, they are very casual now.

Those heavy infantry even looked lazy.

In the past, not to mention these small soldiers, even their captains and generals would be beheaded by the old commanders.

This time, no one blamed them.

It was clear to all that there was basically nothing to do except cavalry.

Let them gather together, just to observe it.

"It's time to take out these things and let the people of the Western Regions open their eyes."

Cheng Yaojin stroked the key Liu Bai gave him, and murmured.

At this moment, the other handsome men looked at Cheng Yaojin, even a little jealous!

The significance of this battle is beyond the imagination of others.

artillery!

As the latest achievement of the martial arts research room of the academy, it has never been unveiled in front of people, that layer of mystery.

The artillerymen were carefully selected from among the twelve guards.

For half a year, no one knew where they were hiding for training.

It was not easy to see them, and this group of people never dealt with others.

And Cheng Yaojin, as the first commander-level general to use artillery, will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books!

The big copper pipes placed on the city wall will instantly open the gates of the Western Regions, and easily tear up the courage of the Uyghurs!

Cheng Yaojin personally stepped forward and used the key to unlock the twenty cannons one by one.

Locking the cannon is a very stupid method, but it is also the most effective method.

The lock head is cast together with the gun barrel, so it can't be used if others steal it.

The deterrent power of artillery is really too great.

Compared with it, Ba Niu is not even worthy of carrying shoes!

A cannon erected at the Jinguang Gate in Chang'an City was enough to blast Li Er who was sitting in the Zichen Palace to death from a distance of several miles!

No one dares to joke about this kind of thing!

The locks of the twenty cannons were unlocked one by one.

With a blank face, Liu Bai stepped back a little.

Seeing this, several other veterans followed suit and hurriedly backed away.

Although I don't know what's going on, it's definitely right to follow Liu Bai anyway!

The bronze casting process of the academy has indeed developed to a very advanced stage.

But these days, there are no various detectors.

In case the barrel was damaged during the last trial, or cracks appeared

It's better to stay away.

This group of artillerymen are all eating with their lives.

People have long put life and death aside, just want to fight for a good future for future generations.

Liu Bai didn't want to, so he tied his head to the waistband of his trousers.

Cheng Yaojin was lying on a cannon with his buttocks pouted, studying the twists that lead out of the cannon.

Looking back, seeing that everyone was hiding far away, contempt suddenly appeared on their faces.

"A bunch of cowards"

The other handsome men looked at Liu Bai's indifferent appearance, but no one said a word.

Seeing this, the contempt on Cheng Yaojin's face became even more obvious.

At this time, the Uighurs could already be seen from a distance.

Today's Uighurs are not the most powerful among Tiele's tribes.

On top of them, Xue Yantuo suppressed them.

This time, they sent a full 5 people into the Western Regions, and I am afraid they have already gambled on their national destiny!

Cheng Yaojin stood up, looked at the Uighurs in the distance, with a grin on his face.

"All of you, I will watch carefully. When the artillery bombards the Uighurs, I will immediately rush out of the city and kill them all!"

He yelled at the two thousand Tang cavalrymen who were going out to collect their heads behind the city gate.

As he spoke, he pointed at the captain of the artillery battalion and said, "Start!"

The captain looked solemn.

This is a young sixth-rank military officer, in his twenties, with a handsome appearance.

The armor is exactly the same as that of other military officers of the same level, except that there is an azure cuff on the shoulder.

It means that this young captain is from an academy!

He raised the flag in his hand.

Each cannon is served by four people.

Some squatted down to adjust the aiming position.

Some went to the box and took out the shells.

As the captain placed the flag across his chest, the shells were stuffed into the barrel.

"Marshal, please give me instructions!"

The young lieutenant roared.

Cheng Yaojin snatched the torch from the artillerymen beside him, roared angrily, "Light it up!"

laugh--

Chapter 972 Weapons can not only kill, but also kill

The medicine twister that leads out of the cannon body is very long.

A full two feet!

Although the efficiency of launching is a little lower, it can guarantee the safety of these artillery to a certain extent.

The immaturity of technology can only be compensated by stupid methods.

In fact, these artillery are no less precious than the artillery itself.

The cost of training them will soon exceed the cost of casting artillery.

The young lieutenant gave another order, and all the artillerymen retreated a few steps in unison.

This is the safe distance obtained through the academy's precise calculations.

Even if the barrel explodes, it will not hurt people's lives.

At most, it's just a shock.

There are still accidents.

The recoil force of the round cannonball is extremely huge.

As long as there is a crack on the gun barrel, or the base is a little unstable, basically the artillerymen behind will die

The sacrifices of other soldiers all appeared on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

Only these artillerymen have a certain death rate during training

Cheng Yaojin wanted to get closer to see how the medicine twister was burned in, and how it fired such a heavy medicine ball several miles away.

As soon as he showed his head, he was stopped by the young captain.

"You must be handsome!"

Cheng Yaojin said dissatisfied: "Just to see!"

The young captain was stubborn.

Not only stopped Cheng Yaojin, but even deliberately blocked his gaze.

Cheng Yaojin became more and more dissatisfied.

"It's just a big pipe"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise!

boom!

boom!

boom!

The twenty cannons roared in unison, spitting out tongues of flame, and iron-core bullets the size of two fists were fired at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Except for those artillerymen, as well as Liu Bai and Xu Chu and Wang Shouren behind him, everyone else trembled.

The merchants and common people in the city were even more frightened and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

This sound is like thunder!

Although Tangni City in Shanshan is a rare oasis in the Western Regions, it rarely rains.

thunder?

Many people have never seen what thunder looks like in their lives!

The sound just now, even in the city, made people's ears hurt.

After one breath after the loud noise of the twenty artillery pieces, sparks suddenly exploded one after another among the Uighur army in the distance!

Rumble!

Rumbling--

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky!

Cheng Yaojin's face changed suddenly in fright, he could not speak the unfinished sentence just now, and almost bit his tongue off.

The other handsome men also had different expressions.

Qu Tutong kept shaking the flesh on his face.

Duan Zhixuan clenched his fists unnaturally.

Yuchi Jingde's whole body tensed up, as if he had encountered a fierce enemy and was ready to strike at any time.

These veterans have been fighting for a lifetime, and they have long developed a beast-like ability to perceive danger.

The huge sense of threat made each of them extremely uneasy.

"Is this a cannon?"

Zhang Gongjin murmured.

He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see the truth.

Su Dingfang reacted differently from the others.

Others were either fearful or restless.

He was the only one with a face full of excitement!

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang has been fighting north and south under Li Jing's men.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the successor of Li Jing.

During the expedition to the Eastern Turks, it was Wang Shouren who helped Xue Li capture Xieli alive by means of a surprise attack.
