Chapter 1286

"This thing can still throw stones?" This exclamation came from a fat man who weighed at least two hundred pounds, hmm...... It belongs to the Cao family, a nephew of the general Cao Shi, and Wang Yang really doesn't know what it is.

“…… Your Majesty, please take a look in that direction. Wang Yang really didn't have the time to pay attention to the stupid questions of these guys, so he directly took a telescope and handed it to the Son of Heaven, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the area in front of the artillery.

And the surrounding soldiers brought a large number of binoculars, and soon almost everyone had a handful, and they all subconsciously looked in the direction of Wang Yang's finger.

"There are still soldiers over there, hey, why are there still a lot of sheep and chickens, and even cows, all tied to the stakes, Lord Wang, what's going on?" Wang Hou looked at him curiously and asked a question that everyone present wanted to ask.

"Seems to be armed and armoured?"

"Those are living creatures that are going to be used to test artillery. The armor was worn on dummies. Lord Wang, how far do you think you can travel from here to there? Wang Yang explained, and asked Wang Hou rhetorically.

"I'm afraid I'll have to have a mile or two from here to there, right?" Wang Hou estimated and came to a conclusion.

"Yes, from the gun emplacement, to the position where the cattle and sheep are tied, it is a total of two miles. In a moment, the artillery will attack the living creatures two miles from here. Wang Yang said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and their eyes fell on Wang Yang's body.

And Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, who had already learned about the previous test from Wang Yang's mouth, but had not seen it with his own eyes, threw the telescope in his hand to Ma Shang beside him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, instead of continuing to ask, let's take a good look at whether this new weapon developed by Wang Wushan is really as powerful as he said. Wang Qing, I hope you don't let me down. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations. Ladies and gentlemen, now that you have seen the shape of this weapon, please move into this bunker, and after a while of testing the gun, you will understand its effect. ”

A few dozen meters next to this gun emplacement, a closed grass hut has been erected. A large iron stove had been lit inside, so that the people who came in a hurry did not have to stand in the cold wind and shiver.

After the Son of Heaven stepped into the thatched hut, he noticed that the front of the thatched hut was completely unobstructed by a chest-high position, so that people could see everything in the distance very clearly.

With Wang Yang's greeting, the soldiers who had been training for nearly a month in advance immediately began to act quickly, first transporting the ammunition that had been put aside to the artillery, then starting to clean the chamber, and then starting to charge, and then starting to load.

About eighteen breaths later, the reload was completed, and the small yellow flag in his hand began to wave, and it didn't take much effort, and the soldiers on the opposite side who were originally staying in the test area all rushed to the side of the bunker that had been built for them, and then responded with the green flag.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, request a test cannon." A vigorous soldier walked quickly to the grass hut and reported loudly to the Son of Heaven.

"I'm right." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, took a deep breath, nodded heavily and shouted.

"Everyone, please stuff this thing into your ears in a while, so as not to be hurt by the roar of artillery, Wang is really not joking with you, please be sure to listen." Wang Yang hurriedly asked people to bring cotton balls and distribute them to everyone's hands.

Seeing Wang Yang say it so solemnly, even those young people who were not afraid of the sky and the earth couldn't help but beat a little drum in their hearts, and after thinking about it, they decided to stuff this thing into their ears.

As the red flag waved, everyone instantly felt that it was as if a thunderclap that changed the color of the heavens and the earth sounded in their ears, and even the snow foam on the observation stone in front of them flew up.

Originally, the dumb disciples who still looked disapproving were so frightened that they almost urinated, and the fat man of the Cao family, who was as strong as a pig, sat down on the ground directly.

The Son of Heaven was also trembling by the roar of the artillery fire, but he quickly reacted and looked ahead, that is, the test artillery field.

He didn't have to wait long, and soon, a light flickered from there, and then billowing smoke rolled into the air. In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be a roar of thunder.

"Marchand, go and lead the horse, I will come and see for myself." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't bear it anymore, and walked quickly towards the outside of the grass hut, shouting loudly.

The people were all shocked at this moment, and unconsciously followed the footsteps of the Son of Heaven to leave the grass hut, and were disturbed by the cold wind outside the house, and they seemed to wake up.

The group rode their horses and galloped, two miles were not far, but the fast horses had to run for dozens of breaths, and then, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

The living creatures I saw in the telescope before, at this moment, well, there are still alive, there is a cow, and now it is still twitching, but there is a blood hole in its body, and it is constantly bubbling bright red blood.

Many of the wooden stakes that had been erected had been cut off by the fragments of the cannonballs, but the bowl-thick wooden stakes that tied the oxen still stood, but on them, you could still see a few deep marks that had been cut out.

And the corpses of all kinds of living creatures that lay on the ground have proved how powerful this long-range firearm really is.

And the soldiers who had already run out of the bunker and stood by at Wang Yang's signal carried the two dummies wearing Yuanyou iron armor and ordinary iron armor over and put them on the ground.

After Wang Yang jumped off the horse, he walked up to him and patted one of the dummies, which were originally extremely strong, but at this moment in the position of the breastplate, deeply embedded in a piece of shrapnel.

"Such a sophisticated iron armor can't stop it......" The Son of Heaven took a deep breath, and then turned his head to look at the artillery position, two miles, although the six artillery pieces could still be seen, but it had become very far away.

Di Yong rolled over and jumped off his horse, and walked closer, watching as the soldiers lifted the deformed cuirass, revealing what was inside.

It was a large piece of pork rib with skin, and at this moment, after the breastplate was lifted, the shrapnel embedded in the pork was finally pulled out of the pork with a pair of pliers.

And the bloody fragment of the cannonball, at least through the iron armor, then into the flesh. Seeing this, Di Yong, who had gray hair, couldn't help but gasp. "Is this the power of artillery? ……”

Those princes and nobles who rushed here one after another, many of them changed their faces at this moment, and even some people directly screamed and vomited on the spot after seeing the scene of those living creatures opening their stomachs.
