Chapter 521 General Tiance Cannon
Thirty mortars. Although they are smaller than the general cannons in later generations, they are still cannons. The power of the ground bursting out together is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Thirty black dots were sprayed out of the smoke at a rapid speed in the roar. After a few breaths, people were suddenly shocked by the smoke from the construction walls more than a thousand steps away and were suddenly shocked by the continuous explosion of smoke from the ground.
In order to create a strong shock effect on them, I set off again as the flag was dancing. Each mortar fired three shells, and the tall city wall was completely covered by the dust that stirred up. I nodded with satisfaction, raised the red flag, and asked them to stop shooting. Thirty mortars fired a total of ninety medicine bags, and now I can finally shorten it, right?
I looked back proudly, and the plot on the platform scared me. Uncle Li and others were all confused and kept pursing their ears. Uncle Cheng laughed loudly: "Damn it, what's the matter? It's even louder than the thunder, which makes Cheng's ears buzz."
Uncle Li Ji's face was ashen. I didn't know what he was talking about, so I must have nothing to say. I ran to the platform: "Your Majesty!" Uncle Li looked at me, tilted his head and listened: "Highlights, I'm now buzzing in my ears."
I raised my throat helplessly and howled in Uncle Li's ear: "Your Majesty, look over there!" I raised my hand and pointed straight into the distance.
The place opposite the city wall was already sinking a lot, and the female wall above had long disappeared. Uncle Li took a breath and slapped his thigh excitedly: "Yuchi leads the horse!" He didn't care about maintaining his image, so he picked up the front and stepped off the platform, took the reins of the ground horse handed over by Yuchi Baolin, and ran forward.
Soon, all the military generals and officials from the Ministry of Works came to observe the effects of the new weapon, and they had stood in front of the damaged city wall. This section of the city wall was about ten feet long. After being continuously bombarded by thirty mortars, about third of the city wall had collapsed, and obvious cracks could be seen in the remaining city wall.
"Awesome, this firecracker is even more powerful than the sky thunder." Uncle Cheng reached out and picked up a large piece of floor tiles that broke out from the wall, and couldn't help but take a breath. "If it falls on someone, I'm afraid that it won't be able to stop the explosion like this, right?" Uncle Li Ji gritted his teeth and bulged his cheeks and sighed in surprise.
Uncle Li Jing nodded and said, "It's really beyond my expectations. With this thing to attack the city, the world may not be able to stop the enemy's troops. However, with this thing to defend the city's blocks and passes, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, as long as this thing helps, I'm afraid..."
Uncle Li just kept nodding, touching the east, looking around, then picked up a piece of broken iron material shot out of the shell and checked it carefully for a while, and raised his head, as if something was a little bit. Uncle Li's expression seemed to be a little lonely and desperate. Perhaps he understood that after the appearance of this long-range large-scale destructive weapon, no one in the world was the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. This instead made him feel a sense of loss. I can understand Uncle Li's mood. It is not because I have experienced many problems, but because I can understand this truth by reading more martial arts books.
"Okay, okay! OK! With this thing, any city will be like a native chicken and a tile dog in the eyes of my Tang soldiers!" Uncle Li quickly got rid of the confused mood, cheered up, and laughed loudly. Uncle Li laughed. Everyone laughed. I had nothing to be happy about, mortars, pediatrics. If I brought an atomic bomb from later generations, I would be afraid that Uncle Li would hold him when he was sleeping.
"Son-in-law, what is the name of this kind of object?" Uncle Li turned around and patted my shoulder kindly. He made a very heavy move. It seemed that Uncle Li was so excited that he had not passed. After hearing Uncle Li's words, I naturally knew how to answer. "Your Majesty, I will try to produce this object with my colleague Fang Xin from the Wushu Institute. I have never thought about it. I hope Your Majesty can give this object a name."
Uncle Li squinted his eyes and showed me a very satisfied smile, um. Uncle Li also knew that I knew his temperament, which made him very satisfied. Uncle Li pointed to this half of the broken wall: "I have made countless contributions to pacifying the world of our Tang Dynasty for half my life, and died in countless enemies at my hands. Because of my military achievements, I was treated well by the late emperor and I once named me as the general of Tiance. The late emperor once said that if Erlang is the sword and gun in my hand, I can only gain the world as my father. Today, I want to say, I have obtained this sharp weapon from heaven, and my Tang Dynasty will expand the land, stabilize the country, and will have no worries about external enemies. Today, I will give this item here as General Tiance! "
"General Tiance Cannon! Good name, both majestic and magnificent. I am thankful to all the craftsmen and officials of the Wushu Research Institute for this beautiful name. In the future, General Tiance Cannon will follow my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and travel all over the world to ensure that my Tang Dynasty is peaceful and sound." I was extremely excited and bowed to Uncle Li and said loudly.
All the people in the world were flattering Uncle Li. They were wise and powerful, and they were wise and powerful. In short, they were all in a very good mood. "Hahaha, okay, all my dear friends, I understand your wishes." Uncle Li stroked his long beard, looked back and looked at the broken wall and shabby, pulled me towards the artillery position, and said happily: "Son-in-law, you really gave me the blessing star of the earth from God and the blessing star of the Tang Dynasty, hahaha..."
Seeing the brightly colored General Tiance cannons, Uncle Li stroked the cannon body with joy: "Well, son-in-law, how many such General Tiance cannons are there in the Wuyan Institute?"
"There are only fifty pieces of real finished products, but this type is just a small cannon, and it is only in the trial production stage, so I dare not cast too much. In fact, it can also be made of steel, but the difficulty is probably greater. After all, steel is afraid of water and is prone to rust. If it is an iron-core copper-tied gun barrel, it is several times better than simply using copper or steel."
"Well, little cannon, do you mean that there is more powerful General Tiance cannon?" Uncle Li's eyes were much longer than usual today. It seemed that he had been surprised for too long. I scratched my head with habitual scratches. Unfortunately, he scratched his iron helmet. "There are cannons, but the cannon stand has not been made yet, but the cannon body has been cast. From the scale of the cannon body, it can be several times more powerful than the small cannons in front of me, and the range is more than twice as long."
"Then I'm saying something, go and have a look! I'm so addicted to watching the fun today by you, hahaha..." Uncle Li signaled me to lead the way quickly, as if he was unwilling to accept it if he couldn't see that guy.
In the Wuyan Institute's house, I was tired after walking around for a day, Uncle Li and these generals finally felt tired, and sat on the mat and sipped tea. The atmosphere was very enthusiastic about the scene where I saw the ground today. Uncle Cheng was bragging with two colleagues: "If my son-in-law hadn't stopped me just now, Old Cheng would have to jump up and shoot a shot by himself. That thing would have exploded so much..."
"Your father-in-law doesn't know how to let your mouth rest for a while!" Su Dingfang was right beside me, his eyes were very resentful. There was no way. Who told him to be a junior in front of these famous generals? The old guys dared to scold Uncle Cheng and attack each other in filthy words. But General Su is a new star, a new generation of generals, and belongs to the junior level. Uncle Cheng can only give in. Uncle Cheng has been instilled with him for nearly a few hours. Thinking about that time, the expressions of General Su's brother were a little dull, pitiful.
"The security of the Wuyan Institute must be strengthened, and the candidates must be reliable and loyal. I will choose some from the palace guards." Uncle Li and others became more concerned about the safety and defense work of the Wuyan Institute after seeing the power of the firearms beyond their imagination.
"Your Majesty, I think that this merit should be rewarded with great rewards and encouraged them to continue serving the court. In addition, if there are family members, I think that a separate area should be placed for resettlement, so as to prevent those who are interested..." Uncle Li Ji was more thorough in his consideration.
Uncle Li nodded in praise: "Your dear is very polite. Let's do this. The craftsmen and craftsmen of the Wuyan Academy each rewarded ten jin of money and twenty pieces of silk. All the soldiers who guarded the Wuyan Academy will also reward them according to this example. Zhong Qing, you assisted Fang Qing in charge of the Wuyan Academy's hard work and great contributions. Today, I specially ordered you to be a sans doctor in the court and give you a goldfish bag, ten kilograms of silver and hundreds of silk."
Zhong ■ was excitedly provoked to Uncle Li: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but I am not enough to repay you!"
"Prevent, get up quickly. I hope you will work harder for the future of the Wushu Institute, hahaha." Uncle Li reached out to help him. Zhong Hua stood up and bowed to Uncle Li, "I remember that I will never make any mistakes."
