After getting the permission, Pang Chong came outside the palace with a little excitement and asked someone to bring the artillery model placed outside the palace.
The emperor and all the officials stretched their heads and observed with endless curiosity. When they saw this 'artillery', many people immediately booed - so disappointing, so small!
This artillery is very simple. It only has an iron pipe tied to a wooden frame with straw ropes. The barrel is an iron pipe shaped by magic. The barrel is about one meter long. The surface is relatively smooth. It has obviously undergone special cosmetic treatment. :
The color is dark and shiny, like porcelain. Although it is small, it can be regarded as a small work of art. The wooden frame is also very exquisite and has carved patterns - although it is a bit redundant.
A small hole was opened at the rear end of the barrel, where the fuze was placed; black powder and solid shells were loaded from the front. The caliber of the muzzle is about the size of an egg, about one inch.
This thing is better said to be a cannon than a cannon. Well, at this time, no one in the Kingdom of Jinyang had the concept of ¡®fire gun¡¯. The only information they received was artillery; but the artillery they imitated shrank seriously.
The emperor of Jinyang Kingdom frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Pang Chong first loaded the fuze, and then loaded the gunpowder and projectiles into the 'artillery' from the front end of the barrel. Then adjust the direction of the artillery and aim at a bluestone slab fifty meters ahead. After adjusting, invite the emperor to light the fire.
The Emperor was not polite either. A candle appeared on his fingertips and lit the fuse.
Sparks flew out, and the fuse's flames entered the barrel. Suddenly, the crude artillery exploded with a roar, dark red flames rushed out a foot, and a solid projectile the size of an egg rushed out like lightning, shattering the two-inch-thick stone slab in front of it.
The smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell spread rapidly.
Many people are still curious - it is impossible to be shocked, this artillery is too weak, and it is estimated that it cannot be seriously injured even in a Qi refining period. As for the sound of the explosion, it was not loud.
The emperor frowned slightly: "Isn't this different from what is recorded in the jade slips! I remember what was recorded in the jade slips is: the artillery can shoot more than twenty miles, and each explosion can clear more than ten feet; all the artillery fires in volley, even the It is difficult to compete even in the Nascent Soul stage.
You can catch this artillery piece even during the Qi refining stage! "
Pang Chong explained carefully and slowly: "Your Majesty, there are some difficulties in the artillery technology of Qixia Country, and we are still exploring. It is estimated that it will take one to two months to produce such artillery.
"But the war is tense at this time, and we can't wait for two months, so we can only make something like this first, at least to embolden the soldiers." It is enough to tell everyone that we also have this thing. "
The emperor thought for a while and nodded slowly: "What you think is more correct. But such a 'artillery' is probably not enough!"
"Your Majesty, this is just a model. The real artillery is expected to be seven feet long, one to two feet thick, and the diameter of the projectiles fired can reach seven to fifteen inches."
"Oh ok, give birth as soon as possible." After the emperor said this, he turned to look at General Sima Zhen, and called He Dongjiao, who was standing in the "punishment station" in the distance: "You two, here you go An opportunity to atone for one's sins. Starting today, 1.5 million troops will be mobilized from across the country to attack the country of Qixia.
I hope that you can destroy the country of Qixia with overwhelming force and not give the country of Qixia the slightest chance to breathe. "
Prime Minister Pang Chong spoke again: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister has another suggestion. Don't we have a second prince from the Kingdom of Qixia, and now the Kingdom of Qixia turns out to be the regent of the princess, Si Chen, we can raise a banner:
Support orthodoxy!
We want to tell the people of Qixia Country that we are not invading, we are trying to correct the mistakes of Qixia Country. By the way, he supported the second prince as a puppet.
By doing this, it should be able to reduce the resistance to the advance of the army, and even win over some of the forces of the Qixia Kingdom. It should also make the wavering families, sects, etc. in the Qixia Kingdom hesitate or even turn against each other!
We first recognize the rule of the second prince of Qixia Kingdom; when Qixia Kingdom is completely under our control, what to do is not a matter of words. "
The officials immediately became active, and all kinds of opinions came out.
During the discussion, a minister walked quickly beside the emperor and quietly sent information - Jiuyang Sect was taken away. Now the elder of Jiuyang Sect has come outside the palace for help. It seems that he only has one breath left.
The emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened: "This may be a good opportunity. The Jiuyang Sect should still have many roots in the Kingdom of Qixia. It may be a good choice for the Jiuyang Sect to support the second prince of the Kingdom of Qixia!"
The emperor has seen itmeeting! So what we have to consider is not how long we can last, but how to win! "
"Victory?" Liu Xinyu sat in a chair and murmured in her voice, "Now the whole country of Qixia can barely make up a million troops. But they are all a mob.
And there are not much elixirs and so on in the treasury.
It is normal for a decisive battle involving millions of legions to drag on for a year or two. But Qixia Country's elixir reserves may not last for half a year. "
Zhang Hao turned to look at Liu Xinyu: "Is it appropriate for Your Highness to tell me this?"
"" Liu Xinyu suddenly reacted and stood up suddenly, her face gradually becoming gloomy.
Speaking of which, Liu Xinyu was under a lot of pressure. She had to kill her brother to usurp power, and also had to shoulder the mess of Qixia Kingdom. She was exhausted, but she couldn't rest.
Among the people Liu Xinyu has come into contact with, Zhang Hao is one of the few who is of the same age but also has certain ambitions, and has also made important achievements.
??Invisibly, Liu Xinyu regarded Zhang Hao as a "comrade" with "like-mindedness".
In the entire Qixia Kingdom, in Liu Xinyu¡¯s eyes, Zhang Hao is the only one who is a ¡®sane person¡¯. The rest are just drunk!
Liu Xinyu was exhausted and needed someone to talk to, but after Zhang Hao reminded her, she suddenly woke up - their identities were completely different!
Looking at Liu Xinyu¡¯s expression, Zhang Hao suddenly smiled: ¡°Your Highness, do you know what ¡®devouring the whole country¡¯ means?¡±
Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao warily for a long time. The wariness in her eyes gradually disappeared, but it did not disappear completely. She didn't answer but asked instead, with an indescribable loneliness and confusion in her tone: "Are all those in power lonely?"
Zhang Hao turned around and looked at Liu Xinyu, the relaxed smile on his face tightened. He 'approached' Liu Xinyu step by step, and finally came to Liu Xinyu, the distance was only less than a foot.
"What are you doing!" Liu Xinyu had an indescribable panic in her eyes, but she pursed her lips slightly and did not take a step back, glaring at Zhang Hao with "cold, majestic and serious" eyes.
Zhang Hao suddenly reached out and hugged Liu Xinyu.
"Ah bang!" Liu Xinyu finally showed the reaction a girl should have, screamed, and gave Zhang Hao a crisp slap. Then he turned around and sat back in the chair, glaring at Zhang Hao fiercely, with shame, anger, and an unspeakable murderous intent.
The slap was loud enough to create an echo, so that Hu Yinglan, who was guarding the outside of the hall, instantly appeared at the door of the hall with a long sword in hand.
"Get out!" Liu Xinyu shouted coldly.
Hu Yinglan glanced at Zhang Hao, who was covering the left side of his face, blinked, and exited the hall with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Zhang Hao covered the left side of his face, hissing and gasping. The slap was so hard that the skin was torn and his mouth was filled with blood. Liu Xinyu showed no mercy just now. Zhang Hao, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, cannot bear a slap from the Nascent Soul stage!
Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao coldly: "You'd better give me an explanation!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
