    Although Chen Wanrong did not say much, he outlined a new blueprint for the use of artillery. If artillery is really used as Chen Wanrong said, the power of artillery will be fully exerted, and the role of artillery will suddenly increase.  This prospect was so tempting that Ge Shuhan and the others couldn't help but rub their hands with fire in their eyes. They couldn't wait to try it right away.

    "When the artillery arrives, we will gather the artillery and fire them, and you will know the difference." Chen Wanrong finally said with a smile.

    There is no doubt that the effects of two hundred artillery pieces and thirty-five artillery pieces are different.  However, to what extent it is different, you still have to witness it with your own eyes. Everyone was extremely excited and nodded vigorously.

    It didn¡¯t take long for the artillery to arrive.  Looking at the neatly arranged artillery pieces, Chen Wanrong said with great interest: "Hold on, let's go and fight."

    As soon as the order was passed, the artillerymen were so excited that they hurriedly pulled the artillery to the open space of the school field.  Under the command of Ge Shuhan, a formation was formed, and two hundred artillery pieces were lined up, occupying a place in the boss.

    In the past, thirty-five artillery pieces were put out, which looked a bit lonely.  Now, with two hundred artillery pieces deployed, the formation alone was completely different, much larger, and very exciting. Liu Fuqing and other veteran artillerymen who had been on the battlefield felt their blood boiling again.

    "Directly ahead! Prepare! Release!" The command flag in Ge Shuhan's hand was waved, and two hundred artillery fired at the same time. A huge net of intertwined flames suddenly appeared in the sky and was placed forward.

    Everyone has seen the scene of cannonballs flying across the sky countless times, but it has never been so shocking. Looking at the cannonballs trailing flames across the sky, everyone was both excited and a little surprised.

    "Not good!" Suddenly, Chen Wanrong shouted.

    Just as Chen Wanrong screamed, Ge Shuhan's mouth opened wide, his eyes straightened, and he stared straight ahead.

    It turns out that the current range of artillery is longer than that used in the past. Chen Wanrong and others did not know this, and they arranged according to the previous range.  When this round of shells fell, it happened to cover a section of the school fence. Could Chen Wanrong not be impatient?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of frustration, no one can do anything but watch the shells fall on the wall, flashing fireballs and making loud noises one after another.

    Liu Fuqing and the others had heard the explosion of artillery shells countless times, and they were extremely familiar with it. However, when so many artillery shells exploded at once, the sound was far beyond what thirty-five artillery pieces could match. It could be called an earthquake.  The mountains shook, the sky and the earth were eclipsed, and people's ears buzzed, making no sound heard for a long time.

    Such power was beyond everyone¡¯s expectation, including Chen Wanrong. Everyone looked at each other in shock, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, only the shock on the other¡¯s face was seen.

    After a while, everyone finally regained their composure, breathed a long sigh of relief, and cheered in unison.

    Chen Wanrong said most concernedly: "Go and see if the wall has been blown up!" Fei covered himself with blue flowers and galloped away.  Ge Shuhan and Liu Fuqing followed from behind.

    When we came to the fence, we saw pits one after another on the ground. The originally intact fence now had many cracks, and some places had collapsed.  A rough estimate shows that there are no less than dozens of cannonballs falling on the wall. Although the wall is firmly built, it still cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery. This is really exciting.

    Ge Shuhan was the first to shout: "Such power! It seems to be more powerful than the previous artillery!"

    Chen Wanrong used the most powerful military gunpowder formula. After this period of production, the weapons supervisor became more knowledgeable about the manufacture of artillery. The purity of the saltpeter was higher, and the three main ingredients were mixed more evenly and the particles were finer.  , which will inevitably make the artillery more powerful.

    "If the artillery we transported to Tubo was so powerful, the Tubo people would not know how many people would die!" Liu Fuqing sighed with emotion: "If I had known, this battle would have been postponed!"

    "You think you didn't kill enough people?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

    The Tang army fought against Tubo this time. The Tibetan army of nearly 300,000 suffered heavy casualties, with only 30,000 to 20,000 left.  This was a joke, and Liu Fuqing and the others couldn't help but laugh.

    At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats like raindrops was heard, and Ge Fushun rushed over in a hurry. As soon as they met, he scolded Chen Wanrong: "General Chen, what are you doing? The mountains are shaking and the earth is shaking!"  Ah! You, you, actually blew up my wall?" He was so angry that he even stuttered his words.

    It was okay that he didn¡¯t speak, but as soon as he spoke, something happened immediately. There was just a roar, and the shaky wall suddenly collapsed.  Looking at the smoky scene, Chen Wanrong spread his hands: "General Ge, look, it's better if you don't speak.It makes people's ears buzz.  The noises that Ruizong and the others heard in Chang'an City were incompatible with the noises they heard at the scene.  Although they knew that the movement this time was huge, they did not expect it to be so big.

    After a while, Ruizhong shook his head and kept exclaiming: "It's amazing! The movement is so loud! It's worse than thunder!"

    "Fifth brother, look! The trees have been blown up!" Princess Taiping pointed to the woods ahead.

    The last time we tried the artillery fire, it took a long time before Sha Fei and the tree fell down.  This time, only one round of artillery went down, and it was obvious that many trees had fallen to the ground and were in a mess.

    "This, this is too powerful, isn't it?" Ruizhong felt a little unbelievable.

    Chen Wanrong had a plan and ignored Ruizong's reaction. With a wave of his hand, the artillery fired again.  Round after round of volleys of artillery were fired, and more and more trees were overturned. From a distance, the overturned trees and the new mud kicked up could be seen.

    Such a scene was far beyond the imagination of the three giants, and they were all stunned and speechless.  Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I only have two hundred artillery pieces in my hand. It would be even more terrible if I had seven or eight hundred or thousands of artillery pieces, spread out in formation and blast at the enemy!"

    "Is there any need to say it?" Ruizong nodded mechanically.  Then he said: "Wanrong, what did you say? Thousands of artillery? Yes! We should build more artillery! The more artillery, the better! The artillery is so powerful, if there are more, we don't need crossbows."

    The power of artillery is much greater than that of crossbows. If the number of artillery is sufficient, there is no need for crossbows.  However, this is not possible yet, and crossbows are still necessary because crossbows are lighter than artillery and are easy to transport.  Crossbows play an important role in places where artillery cannot easily reach.

    Ruizong was very excited. Chen Wanrong knew that the opportunity had come, and smiled and guided Ruizhong's thinking: "Your Majesty, I think that if there are enough people, we should be able to create weapons more powerful than the current artillery."

    It¡¯s not that you can, it¡¯s that you must!  What is currently used is black powder. If conditions are ripe and solid explosives are produced, the power of the artillery will be increased several times.

    " Among other things, if there is nitric acid, the glycerol stored by Chen Wanrong can be made into nitroglycerin. Although it is not stable enough and is very dangerous, its power is much greater than black powder.

    However, all this cannot be done now because the conditions of the Tang Dynasty are immature.

    What Chen Wanrong wanted to do was to make a big statement while Ruizong was happy.  He asked Ruizhong to allow him to go to the Imperial Academy to recruit people, and at least give him some of the students in the county hall.  With these people, Chen Wanrong trained them well and let them accept the baptism of modern scientific and technological theories. Then modern science and technology would take root in the Tang Dynasty, and the great era of science and technology would not be far away.

    This matter is of great concern, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help but look at Ruizhong nervously, for fear that he would disagree.  (To be continued.
