Chapter 239

Xiao Hong lifted another black cloth and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Qin Shihuang and a group of ministers looked at dozens of tin cans with lead wires, and asked, "Mr. Wu An, what is this? Is it another kind of artillery shell?"

"No, no, your Majesty, this thing is much more difficult to make than shells. I call this thing a grenade."

"Grenade?" Qin Shihuang picked up one and looked at it, apparently not seeing what it was for.

"Your Majesty, let me show you the demonstration." Xiao Hong took an iron can, lit the fuse with a torch, and threw it towards a bunch of straw figures.

Bang! ! !
The moment the iron can fell among the straw figures, there was a big explosion, and the entire iron can exploded directly, blowing several nearby straw figures to the ground, while the other straw figures just shook a bit.

"This power is obviously not as powerful as artillery," Wang Jian said, looking at the position where the iron can exploded.

"How about, please, Your Majesty and colleagues, please follow me to the straw man." Xiao Hong didn't refute Wang Jian's words, but invited them to visit the grass man in person.

"Let's go" Everyone followed Xiao Hong to the straw figure where the tin can exploded, and then they could see clearly.

"Look," Meng Tian pointed to a straw figure covered in iron plates.

"This..." everyone also discovered that not only this straw man was covered with iron pieces, but also that the dozens of straw men near the place where the grenade exploded had different numbers of iron pieces stuck in them.

Xiao Hong looked at the astonished expressions of everyone, and showed a faint smile.

It is true that the power of a grenade explosion is not as fierce as that of artillery, but its lethality is not weaker than artillery, but more lethal to the enemy than artillery.

On the battlefield, although soldiers injured by grenade shrapnel will not be killed instantly, it can cause a large number of wounded soldiers in the enemy army, and according to the current medical conditions, these soldiers injured by shrapnel are almost impossible to save. back.

The begging of wounded soldiers will more easily destabilize the morale of the enemy army, and at the same time, the painful appearance of wounded soldiers can break down the psychological defense line of enemy soldiers and make them collapse without fighting.

"Mr. Wu An, how far can this grenade attack the enemy?" Meng Tian looked at the straw man and asked.

"The use of this grenade is quite different from that of artillery, so its specific killing range depends entirely on the shrapnel in the grenade. Also, the grenade is thrown by the soldiers, so the use of the grenade must be specially trained to prevent it from appearing. The situation of self-injury," Xiao Hong explained to everyone.

"Jun Wu'an, I saw that you brought a group of soldiers here today. Have they been trained?" Qin Shihuang noticed this group of soldiers who had been standing next to the firearms early in the morning.

"Your Majesty is worthy of being a dragon among men. You can see the arrangement of the minister at a glance. That's right, the firearm was actually made early in the morning, but the minister was worried that there would be problems during the live demonstration, so he trained a team of soldiers in advance."

"Okay, since Lord Wu An has trained a group of soldiers, let them demonstrate to me." Qin Shihuang nodded and led a group of ministers back to the safe area.

"Grenade team step forward," Xiao Hong gave an order, and eight soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Lantian Camp walked to the table where the grenades were placed.

"The target is far away from the straw man pile, and the grenade attack"

The eight soldiers picked up the grenade, lit the fuse of the grenade with torches, and threw it towards the straw man pile.

However, due to the inconsistent physical fitness of the soldiers, the landing points of the eight grenades were different, but they all landed in the pile of straw men more than 40 meters away.

Bang! ! !
Eight explosions sounded in succession among the straw figurines, blowing the straw figurines upside down.

"Color!" Qin Shihuang congratulated happily as he looked at the bombed straw man staggering around.

"Let me try it too." Qin Shihuang's eyes were hot, and he was about to step forward and throw one out himself.

"Your Majesty" saw that Qin Shihuang had already picked up a grenade, Xiao Hong rushed up to stop Qin Shihuang.

"Your Majesty, this grenade is not very safe, and throwing a grenade also requires skill. Your Majesty, it is better not to try it." Xiao Hong looked at the grenade in Qin Shihuang's hand and persuaded.

"It's all right, I've been exercising during this period, and my body has already recovered to its peak. I just threw a grenade." Qin Shihuang waved his hand indifferently, and asked Wang Yan to come over with a torch.

chi chi chi...

Qin Shihuang lit the fuse with a torch and threw the grenade towards the straw man pile.

But the result was as expected by Xiao Hong, Qin Shihuang didn't know how to throw the grenade, he couldn't hold it firmly for a while, the grenade was still in Qin Shihuang's footsteps.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yan had already stepped aside, but when he saw the grenade falling in front of Qin Shihuang, he rushed towards Qin Shihuang. Not only Wang Yan rushed forward, but the other Xuanwu guards also rushed towards Qin Shihuang after hearing the sound. .

However, it is difficult to put out a nearby fire in far water, no matter how fast Xuanwuwei's reaction is, it is not as fast as the burning speed of the lead wire.

boom!
With a loud noise, the grenade exploded.

At the critical moment, Xiao Hong made a move.

A powerful aura instantly rushed towards the grenade, covering all the flames and shrapnel produced by the grenade explosion.

At this time, Wang Yan and others finally arrived, and a group of Xuanwu guards surrounded Qin Shihuang with their bodies.

"Your Majesty!" Li Si and others were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. Although Li Xin and other generals did not collapse on the ground, their faces were also pale with fear.

"Your Majesty is fine." Xiao Hong bowed and said after throwing the exploding grenade hundreds of meters away with spiritual energy.

"Huh..." Qin Shihuang was naturally frightened, but he recovered after taking a deep breath.

Seeing that the danger had been resolved by Lord Wu'an, the Xuanwu guards released their formation, revealing Qin Shihuang.

Li Si and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Qin Shihuang was safe. If Qin Shihuang was killed by a grenade here, Great Qin would really be in chaos. It's really not far from death.

"Aiqing!" Qin Shihuang stepped out of the Xuanwu Guard's guard circle, helped Xiao Hong up, and said: "Aiqing saved my life and Da Qin's life, I..." Qin Shihuang naturally knew that if he really The aftermath of being killed by a grenade.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. As long as Your Majesty is safe, I will have nothing else to ask for." Xiao Hong bowed and said tactfully.

"Your Majesty has a body of gold, so you can't act willfully in the future." Feng Quji, who was being helped up, bowed directly and said.

"Your Majesty is the hope of Daqin, and he is also the helm of Daqin's future direction. How can you risk yourself!" Li Si also bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, this grenade does not require artillery. It seems harmless, but in fact it is very dangerous. Please stop acting so willfully." Wang Jian actually spoke to Qin Shihuang.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that Qin Shihuang really frightened everyone. If there is no Lord Wu An today, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I know" Qin Shihuang also knew the seriousness of today's matter, looked at the people who bowed to persuade them and said, "I assure you, I will not risk my life again in the future."
