If you want to talk about this man's bad habits, they are all idle. You see, the two generals had nothing to do on the march, so they began to gamble, and the content of the bet was also very interesting, actually guessing that the cannon needed a few rounds to bombard the city wall of Gaochang.

This....... I'm afraid both of them are a little too optimistic, right? After all, the cannon fired a solid bullet, not a thunderbolt that would explode. More than 30 cannons, it is okay to shoot through the city wall, and it collapses....... It seems to be a bit difficult, and the two of them didn't guess it well.

When chatting about the details of this invasion of the Western Regions on the road, Chen Fei realized that Li Shimin had already chatted privately with Cheng Yanjin, and that attacking Gaochang was just part of the plan, and their ultimate goal was to eradicate all the countries in the Western Regions that did not obey the Tang Dynasty and subjugate them all into their own territory.

Good boy! Chen Fei pinched his fingers and calculated... Well, I'm afraid I don't want to go home for the New Year this year.

Of course, this is a joke, and what surprised him a little is that you are fighting so many countries, and only give 30,000 people, what a hair! Stingy!

"Hahaha! Isn't this backed up by a cannon that you invented? Cheng Biting Jin patted Chen Fei's shoulder boldly, and suddenly stared at a cannon and said with a smile: "Boy, while the road is far away, why don't you let Lao Tzu shoot a cannon first?" ”

Yes, yes, but why does that sound weird? "Uh... Uncle Cheng, please. ”

Chen Fei spread his hands and said that you can toss at will, anyway, he doesn't care about repairing.

Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wanjun were both frizzy, and they had long been enthusiastic about the power of the cannon, so after getting Chen Fei's consent, they simply let the soldiers stay in place and find an open place to assemble the cannon. Aim the cannon at the hillside three hundred meters away, then have them assemble the shells and aim them.

"Is it possible to do this long distance?" Cheng Yanjin gestured for a moment, and felt that this distance was far beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and even about the same distance as the projection distance of a large catapult.

"It's only 300 meters." Chen Fei pursed his lips, disapproving.

After testing, the effective killing distance of the small Franc cannon on flat ground is between 500 and 800 meters, and the specific distance depends on the caliber of the Franc cannon. The large red-coated cannon (in fact, it is also a kind of Fran cannon, but it is super large and troublesome to replace ammunition), the effective killing distance is about two kilometers. It can even reach 5,000 meters on the city wall.

This distance of three hundred meters .... It's really not enough to see.

"Boy! Don't get complacent! Whether it's good or not, try it to find out! Cheng Yanjin turned his head to the craftsman and said, "You guys, quickly cover it up for me!" ”

After the shells were loaded, there was no nonsense, and the three Furlong cannons roared and fired a round of shells at the hillside.

After the cannonball was issued, the people behind the huge air flow stood unsteadily, and Cheng Yanjin and others ate the ashes on the ground.

"Good boy! It's not bad, let's go! Look at what's going on the hillside! ”

When they reached the bottom of the hill, the group was silent. Three shells, one of which ran to the point where it broke two trees and embedded itself in the mud. One boulder smashed into pieces, and the other didn't hit any target, but it made an incredibly large hole in the dirt. The depth should be at least two meters!

Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wan had not discussed how powerful the cannon was, but they were still shocked by the traces of the cannonball after it landed.

This... This special siege is a cheat! Just imagine, if you set up a cannon a few hundred meters away, it is completely impossible for the opponent's bow and crossbow to shoot, and a few rounds of fierce fire will collapse the opponent's city wall, and then how will the opponent fight you? The city walls are gone, and there is still a yarn! It's not equal at all, okay?

"Fuck! I didn't see it when I was fighting Xue Yantuo, but I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful! It's really blind to the old man's eyes, and if he knew it, he would have applied to His Majesty for a few more cannons, and the siege of the capital province would be carried out, and the cannons would be used to fight from a long distance! Cheng bit Jin thumped his chest and felt remorseful.

Xue Wanjun also nodded frequently, quite approving. "Exactly! Yes, extremely! I knew that I would let His Majesty come down a few more units to fight from a long distance, it was so fucking cool! ”

Subsequently, the two of them invariably put their vicious gaze on Chen Fei, "Stinky boy! Something so easy to use, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"That's it! Why don't you apply more to Your Majesty, even five more cannons is good. ”

"Huh?" Can I be blamed for this? Chen Fei was speechless. "It's... Two uncles, it's not that the kid doesn't apply to His Majesty, but the cannon ... There are still big flaws. You see, the smaller Franc cannon weighs more than 300 kilograms, and the large red-coated cannon reaches more than 600 kilograms. ”

"Phew!" Cheng Biting Jin spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and looked at Chen Fei with disdain: "It's only a few hundred kilograms, and it's called heavy?" As long as you can get a few more doors, even if each one has a thousand kilograms, the old man will have a way to transport them to the battlefield without delaying the trip! ”

Chen Fei....... Anyone can brag about it, and it's not illegal to brag anyway, you can... Then you can do it, after all, you are an elder or a leader, just follow what you say.

"Yes, yes, the kid knows it's wrong, and I ask the two uncles to forgive me."

"Humph!" Cheng Biting Jin's face looked a little better, and he raised his hand to slap Cheng Chumo beside him, and scolded: "Look clearly!" Chen Fei has invented so many powerful weapons, what are you doing? If you can't get the first work, don't go home, let Lao Tzu stay in the Western Regions forever to make soy sauce! ”

Cheng Chumo ....... What's the matter with me? I'm just looking around, inexplicably lying on the gun!

Cheng Yanjin saw that his son was stunned, and he was angry, and he slapped him with a big "snap".

"What a daze! Hurry up and straighten out the soldiers, hurry! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Chu silently touched the back of his bulging head and wept silently. Chen Fei didn't know how to comfort his fragile and wounded heart.

After a short rest, the army continued to rush towards the Western Regions.

King Ju Wentai, who was far away in Gaochang, finally received the news that Gaochang of the Tang Dynasty had sent troops.

Although the Tang army only has 30,000 people, don't forget, the last time the 200,000 people of the Western Regions Alliance Army were not able to defeat the 10,000 Tang army, and now 30,000 people are coming... According to the last proportion, isn't it worth 600,000 people?

Ju Wentai was so frightened that he couldn't eat or sleep, so he hurriedly sent people to ask for reinforcements from the surrounding countries and the Western Turks.

What made him desperate was that none of these countries, which ostensibly called brothers and swore to share weal and do, were willing to stand up and share weal and woe when the Tang Army came!

Gao Chang has fallen into an isolated and helpless situation!
