Wang Jian laughed out loud.
Wei Liao was dumbfounded, what happened to you, Your Majesty, you can't do this.
All the ministers smothered their laughter, it's not bad for this old guy to be deflated.
"National teacher, since everyone is here, let's talk about it." Ying Zheng turned his attention to Li Qingyun after he finished beating Wei Liao.
"Okay." Li Qingyun said helplessly, since you have already spoken, then don't keep it.
Everyone couldn't help slowing down their pace, pricking up their ears to listen carefully, they wanted to see what kind of sharp weapon it was.
"This weapon is called a cannon."
artillery?
A new noun appeared in the heads of the officials, and it sounded a bit lofty.
"Cannon, as the name suggests, is to use gunpowder as the base material to ignite, and push the iron ball to fly out along the barrel of the gun."
"The firing range of the artillery is now at a maximum of [-] steps, and the minimum is [-] steps. Think about it, everyone, what will happen if it hits an unexpected enemy at [-] steps."
"If this artillery is placed on the city wall, what will it do to people? Think about firing ten thousand artillery pieces."
Li Qingyun described the various modes of operation and damage of the artillery with great emotion.
"Fizz!"
All the ministers gasped, and a picture appeared in their minds. It must be said that this is really a sharp weapon.
Even Ying Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and the way he looked at Li Qingyun changed. Fortunately, this national teacher worked for Qin.
If this falls into the hands of the nobles of the old six countries, then Great Qin will be in trouble.
Yingzheng was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he picked up the national teacher, and enshrining Mount Tai for himself was the most correct decision ever made.
Wang Jian, who had experienced many battles, naturally knew the power of this weapon, and said in a concentrated voice: "Master, this artillery is a state secret."
Then he turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, this place should be guarded by heavy troops."
Ying Zheng nodded approvingly.
"Actually, Your Majesty, there is no need to deploy heavy troops here. What is needed is to deploy heavy troops in the Artisan Department area. There are materials on artillery research and more advanced artillery experiments."
Li Qingyun waved his hand to stop the plan to deploy heavy troops.
This time, Ying Zheng was dumbfounded.
"You mean the artisan department has artillery technology?"
"Yes." Li Qingyun was a little puzzled, didn't I tell you?
Ying Zheng's face darkened, and he stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, you can't miss it." Li Qingyun said cautiously.
Ying Zheng ignored Li Qingyun and walked towards the hill without a word.
The other ministers also understood something, but they were smart people who didn't speak, so they could only follow His Majesty's footsteps.
Li Qingyun shook his head and walked forward. Although he was behind everyone, he appeared three meters away in one step.
Soon, everyone came to a small hill.
People from the Second Artillery Corps were already waiting here on the small hill. Not far away, there were rows of huge monsters covered by black cloth, and soldiers stood upright in place.
Seeing the arrival of Ying Zheng and others, a general in his thirties ran over.
"Zhang Han pays his respects to His Majesty, the National Teacher, and all your lords."
"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Han, the commander of the Second Artillery Corps." Li Qingyun introduced from the side.
Zhang Han looked at Li Qingyun gratefully, but he didn't expect that the questioning two months ago completely changed his fate.
It all starts from scratch.
Chapter 37 Cannon Test Firing!Sound like thunder!
Two months ago, Li Qingyun found Zhang Han and wanted Zhang Han to be the commander of the Second Artillery Corps.
Zhang Han was still a little confused at the time, what the Second Artillery Corps does, it sounds quite interesting.
Out of trust in Li Qingyun, he directly agreed without even asking.
In his opinion, the order of the national teacher is second only to Ying Zheng, and his words are the king's order, and he can fight wherever he points.
Later, when he came to this secret base, he finally knew what the Second Artillery Corps did and how powerful it was.
When the first cannonball was fired in his hand, he felt the change of the times.
He believed that this cannon was an omnipotent weapon, and that he was able to control it, which was the trust of the national teacher in him.
This is an honor for him.
So after hearing that His Majesty will bring all the important ministers to observe today, Zhang Han was so excited that he stayed up all night.
At the same time, I secretly cheered in my heart, and I must not make mistakes tomorrow.
......
"Your Majesty, the Second Artillery Corps has a total of 3000 people, with thirty [-]-pace cannons, fifty [-]-pace cannons, and [-] [-]-pace cannons, all of which have been skillfully controlled. Your Majesty is invited to inspect them."
Zhang Han said loudly.
When Ying Zheng heard this about artillery, he suddenly felt proud: "Start."
"Yes!" Zhang Han gave a military salute, and ran towards the distance, where there were three objects wrapped in black cloth.
The long object makes people see it as a cannon barrel at a glance.
All the ministers tiptoed curiously and looked towards the blocked barrels, Li Qingyun couldn't help but be amazed.
He remembered that there was an old general in the later generations who stood on tiptoe looking at the advanced weapons of other countries, which made people feel very sad.
Advanced technology represents the honor of a country.
Although they are also curious about this advanced artillery now, what they are looking at is their own country's weapons.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten." Li Qingyun sighed inexplicably.
It happened to be heard by Ying Zheng, but he became thoughtful.
In the distance, Zhang Han had already arrived at the place where the black cloths were, and more than [-] soldiers in armor stood upright and waited for the commander's order.
"Uncover."
With a crash, the huge black cloth was uncovered by the soldiers.
Three cannons came into view.
Each cannon is pitch black with the pattern of a black bird engraved on it. Each cannon tube is about two and a half meters long and fifty centimeters thick.
Barely nothing else.
The three cannon tubes lay quietly on the fort made of mud and sandbags.
The gun barrel pointed at the sky, as if I was going to fire if I was upset.
"This is the cannon, it's so long."
"It feels so bulky, is it really that powerful?"
"But it looks quite domineering."
All the ministers were also shocked by the cannon, and they discussed in whispers.
Ying Zheng was immediately attracted by the cannon, and stared obsessively at the dark barrel. The black bird with flowers on it was lifelike, spreading its wings and soaring into the air.
This won Ying Zheng's heart deeply.
Li Qingyun explained from the side: "Your Majesty, this is a thousand-step cannon, which weighs about twenty loads and requires a dozen people to lift it."
"What! So heavy?" Wei Liao exclaimed before Ying Zheng could speak.
All the generals frowned.
How many people are needed to carry such a heavy artillery on a rapidly changing battlefield? It is too manpower-intensive.
In fast movement combat, this is a fatal shortcoming.
Ying Zheng obviously knew this too, and frowned.
"Your Majesty, this is the first generation of artillery. The technology is immature, and the refining technology is not up to standard. It can only be made so big."
"In addition, this artillery has a gun carriage, which can be lifted down when in use, and can be pulled by the horse when it is not in use."
Li Qingyun pointed to the same dark car frame not far from the artillery.
He obtained the cannon from the world of Yitian Tulongji, and then asked the craftsmen of the craftsman department of the Qin Dynasty to make the cannon mount according to the size of the cannon.
The gun frame is made of four large wheels, and the gun barrel can be placed on the frame when not in use for easy transportation.
Although they are equally cumbersome, mules and horses are much easier to transport than human strength, and soldiers can spend more time practicing shelling techniques.
Ying Zheng nodded when he heard the words, and his interest in artillery dropped a lot.
Wait a moment and you're shocked again.
Li Qingyun smiled, maybe you will make more of this kind of artillery later.
Zhang Han and others in the distance have also finished their preparations.
Clean the barrel, load the head-sized iron cannon, pour the gunpowder, load the twisted thread, and everything is ready.
The target of the three cannons is a big mountain in the distance. Yes, it is the mountain as the fundamental target. What could be more shocking than bombarding the mountain with cannons.
"Your Majesty, all ministers, please hold your ears. There will be a loud sound when the artillery fires." Li Qingyun asked everyone before firing.
Everyone was a little unconcerned.
They all felt how loud this could be, and it could even have the sound of thunder.
Seeing that everyone didn't take it seriously, Li Qingyun secretly smiled and said: "After a while, you will be scared to cry."
Anyway, after reminding him, he can't blame himself.
"Fire." Li Qingyun gave the order to fire, and a soldier not far away waved two small black flags in a semaphore gesture.
Li Qingshan asked Zhang Han to invent the semaphore, and he didn't know how to play the semaphore, so he created one himself for the Qin army's internal use.
In the distance, Zhang Han had already received an order, and three soldiers with torches came to the cannon and used the torches to ignite the cannon.
There was a thud, and a burst of fire flashed across the twisted thread.
Boom!call out!
The black cannon trembled violently, and the huge recoil shook the entire mountain violently, dust was everywhere, and a cloud of black mist shot out of the gun barrel with fire like a meteorite.
The roar of thunder was deafening.
Everyone just felt that the sky thunder exploded in their brains, buzzing, shaking their heads a little dizzy.
The hearts of some older ministers were half a beat slow, and it was normal for those who sat on the ground paralyzed.
Ying Zheng stared at the distant mountains with burning eyes, apparently unaffected, and a milky white light flashed in his ears.
Before everyone could react, there was another roar in the distance.
I saw that three shells had already smashed heavily on the opposite mountain, and the solid iron ball coupled with a huge driving force created three large pits several meters deep.
Gravel splashed everywhere, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The gunpowder smoke dissipated, and everyone gasped when they saw the situation on the opposite side.
This is the power of artillery. If it hits a person, it will be smashed into meat.
Everyone was terrified, but more fortunate and excited.
This is something they belong to Qin, not a weapon used against them.
"Good! Good! Good!" Ying Zhenglong was overjoyed.
Chapter 38: Cannon Name Pingyue!Point the sword at the Huns!
"Good good!"
Ying Zheng couldn't describe the excitement in his heart, looking at the three dark cannon barrels, they were as hot as the legs of a beautiful woman.
When the six countries were unified, if there were such weapons, why would it take ten years, three years to eliminate the six countries, no, one year.
