Chapter 1402

Early the next morning, after the o'clock, a group of officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army gathered on the west side of the northern city wall, which was still being capped and built on the battlement wall.

In front of them were three hundred shiny guns, all laid out in front of them, and fifteen hundred artillerymen were gathered in groups of five, beside their guns, carefully inspecting the guns and the gun carriages, after all, after a long period of transportation, the solidity of their parts and components had to be rechecked.

The officers and men of the Liaodong Army had already learned from the mouth of the general that the reinforcements that had arrived last night: the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Front would show the power of their terrifying weapon in front of everyone today.

It's just that in the eyes of these officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army, they are just like those generals and colonels last night, their faces are full of curiosity, and they are talking about it endlessly, judging from their expressions, they really don't think that such an iron pipe can do anything earth-shattering.

After all, many of the Liaodong Army were from the Western Army, and these Western Army had followed Wang Yang, an old driver, to fight with the Western Xia and Northern Liao.

Just looking at the Yuanyu stone thrower towering over the battlefield, the towering throwing rod, and its burly and tall body, the visual effect is far more shocking than this thing.

"Okay, the soldiers have arrived, then there is General Lao Guo, let the soldiers open their eyes." Seeing that the soldiers had already arrived, the planter said to Guo Qi.

Guo Qi turned his head and shouted. "Where is General Xu?!"

"The last general!" Xu Zhao stepped forward quickly and saluted Guo Qi.

"Order you to lead the reserve artillery to the test artillery site and prepare for the test gun!"

"No!" Xu Zhao bowed heavily, turned around, nodded to the warriors who were already ready, and loudly conveyed the military order.

Soon, five twelve-pound Yuanyu Shenwei robes were lined up side by side with the city wall......

"Blossom shell, maximum range test!" Xu Zhao glanced ahead, and then shouted loudly.

"The longest lead of our flowering bullet can only reach five miles, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" A cadre of martial artists quickly operated, and their hands kept moving, but they did not forget to complain in their mouths.

"Please, five miles is already far away, okay, the total length of this city wall is only about six miles, let's fly five miles away and explode with a cannon, at least let them know how exaggerated the range of our Yuanyou Shenwei cannon is."

There was a whining in his mouth, but his movements were extremely sharp, and soon, after the five twelve-pound Yuan Yu Shenwei cannons were loaded, the muzzles of the guns were raised to an exaggerated angle.

With the order of the edict, the five red flags fell, and then, there was a huge roar that caught everyone off guard.

Those elites from the Western Army are okay, although they are scared, they can still stabilize their footing, but the more than 3,000 soldiers on Jingdong Road were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, and many of them were so frightened that they directly held their heads and fell to the ground, and some of them subconsciously ran away......

After the final shock, everyone focused their eyes on the west, that is, the direction where the muzzles of the artillery were pointing, until this time, they saw the sky several miles away, and suddenly a few red lights appeared, and then thick smoke rolled up in the air.

At this time, the roar reached everyone's ears. Seed Master Dao stood up, looked over there in a daze, and only turned his head to look at Guo Qi who was standing beside him for a while.

"General Guo, how far can this Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon shoot?" The question of the Seed Master Dao made the nearly 1,000 soldiers gathered at the scene quiet down, and their eyes fell on Guo Qi.

Guo Qi walked to the Seed Master Road and reported loudly. "Master, the longest range of the twelve-pound Yuanyu Shenwei Cannon is seven miles away, and if it is a direct shot, its range is also two hundred and fifty zhang......"

“…… So far? The longest range of our Great Song Dynasty's Yuanyou stone thrower is only a hundred zhang. A general next to him couldn't help but gasp.

"Generally speaking, if we are on the battlefield, we will adjust the angle of the shot according to the distance of the enemy, and the most common ones are direct fire, 5th angle shooting, and 10 degree angle shooting. Just like these twelve-pound Yuanyu Shenwei cannons, the direct shot is about 250 zhang, the five-degree angle is about 293 zhang, and the ten-degree angle is about 335 zhang......"

"Its range is far greater than all the current long-range weapons of my Great Song Dynasty. But how powerful is it, and how should it be tested? "The Dao of the Seed Master is no longer the half-believing that it used to be.

The range alone has refreshed the three views of the officers and men of the Liaodong Army, including the Dao of the Planters. At this time, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army, who were frightened, finally returned to their respective teams amid the shouts and reprimands of the generals.

At this moment, the gaze that looked at the shiny barrels was no longer curiosity, but a hidden fear, and an excitement called anticipation.

After all, this kind of weapon that is so terrifying just by roaring is actually our Great Song, which also strengthens their confidence.

"Marshal, please let us prepare one or two ......" Guo Qi smiled confidently, and got the approval of the planter, so he planted all the haystacks that had been processed overnight last night at a distance from ten to fifty zhang from the five cannons.

Soon, Guo Qi ran over again, looking a little embarrassed and saluted the planter. "Marshal, I don't know if there are discarded leather armor and iron armor here, we need to wear these discarded leather armor and iron armor on these dummies to test the cannon."

"How many do you need?" A general next to him asked curiously.

"I'm afraid I need fifty or sixty pieces, there are so many dummies, otherwise, it is difficult to test the power and attack range of these artillery shotguns." Guo Qi turned his head and pointed to the shooting range and explained.

"Also, it's better to provide some more shields."

"That's no problem, hurry up and do it......" The seed master nodded and turned his head to order.

It didn't take much effort, so he brought more than forty pieces of leather armor, and almost ten pieces of iron armor were put on those dummies, and under Guo Qi's arrangement, more than ten shields were erected at the farthest eighty zhang.

And here, the five twelve-pound cannons have also been reloaded with shotguns, and this time, many soldiers have been mentally prepared, and when Xu Zhao shouted loudly, they had already covered their ears with their hands for the first time.

The loud roar shook the dry ground with smoke and dust, and everyone could clearly see that the shooting range where nearly a hundred dummies stood seemed to suddenly become a little blurred.
