Chapter 270: Scaring the Prince
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the people in Chang'an City quickly dodged on both sides of the road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
They looked at the officials on horseback galloping on the avenue and discussed, such a chaotic scene would only appear when the barbarians approached Chang'an.
At this time, they couldn't help but mutter, and their hearts were a little uncertain.
Riding a horse, Xiao Wenxuan galloped all the way, he had rarely been so happy in so many years, and this year added up to more happy events than in the past ten years.
And this was all brought by Xiao Ming, thinking of this, Xiao Ming's weight in his heart was a little heavier.
"Fiji, you hurry up, it's really grinding, I'm in a hurry."
The little yellow gate in the palace informed the officials in Chang'an City everywhere, and Luo Quan also got the message, and after learning the news, he was overjoyed and immediately came to Fiji to go with him.
This artillery Luo Xin mentioned to him a lot when he was in Chang'an, and Luo Xin was in charge of artillery in Qingzhou, so Luo Quan became more and more interested in artillery.
Fiji looked lazy and said, "You also got a message from Little Yellow Gate?" ”
"It's all got, aren't the officials who are heading south on Suzaku Street now all because of artillery? Don't bother, let's go, this is from your son-in-law. Luo Quan said, "Luo Xin said that this cannon can shatter a stone wall with one shot, and I don't know if it's true or not, I can't wait." ”
"Aren't you leaving?" Although Fiji is lazy in action, he is actually very anxious, as Luo Quan said, this is a baby sent by his future son-in-law, can he not care?
It's just that on the surface, I still want to save some face, and I don't want to be ridiculed by other officials.
The two talked all the way, walked out of the south gate and followed behind a group of officials, and soon arrived at the station of the firearms battalion, at this time the firearms battalion had been surrounded by civil and military officials, and many officials were talking to each other, pointing to things outside the door from time to time.
The crown prince and other princes also arrived, and they were all by Xiao Wenxuan's side at this time.
When they entered the firearms camp, they saw a hundred swarthy things arranged in a row, and on the ground was a black canvas, which seemed to have been lifted off.
Luo Quan and Fiji squeezed inside, the first time they saw this kind of thing, it must have been the legendary artillery.
Xiao Wenxuan's firearms battalion was the first to arrive, and this canvas was also lifted by him, this time Xiao Ming sent a hundred artillery pieces at one time, and the artillery will continue to be provided in the future, of course, the premise is that the imperial court also has to allocate funds.
Turning around in front of the artillery, Xiao Wenxuan looked excited, he tried it just now, this guy is very heavy, he can't push it, but Xiao Ming didn't lie to him, this cannon is indeed very similar to the appearance of the torch.
This time, the cannon came with three artillerymen from Qingzhou, who will stay in Chang'an for a period of time to teach the firearms battalion how to use the artillery, after all, there is still a set of procedures for the operation of this artillery.
After all, he still has to serve the artillery sent to Chang'an, after all, this is related to whether Xiao Wenxuan can give the silver happily.
Looking at the black artillery, Xiao Wenxuan was proud in his heart, and then he saw Luo Quan and Fiji who were crowded in, and said, "Come on, come on, I'll wait for you to come over and try the power of this artillery." ”
Luo Quan went up and looked at the cannon carefully, his hands rubbing against the cannon's body from time to time, and the thick metallic feeling shocked his heart.
Finally, he put his face against the muzzle of the gun and looked inside.
"Father, this cannon is just like a torch, and it's nothing special."
The prince kicked the cannon with his foot, a look of disdain.
His position as the crown prince today is stable, and he knows that King Zhao has helped a lot, so he has always breathed out from the same nostril as King Zhao, and he and Zhao Yuanliang are very good.
Knowing that Zhao Yuanliang was humiliated in Qingzhou, he was very angry, and at this time he spoke out and belittled the artillery.
Xiao Wenxuan was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he was happy now and didn't want to lose his interest, so he said: "How the artillery is not a mouthpiece, of course, we have to see the specific power." ”
Luo Quan nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, let's see how powerful this artillery is?" ”
Xiao Wenxuan was also a little impatient at this time, and he said: "I have this intention, and today I will let you Aiqing see the power of this artillery." ”。
After that, Xiao Wenxuan asked the artillerymen from Qingzhou to demonstrate it in person.
Before the three gunners came, Xiao Ming had an explanation, telling them to obey Xiao Wenxuan's words, so the three of them neatly took out the tools from the ammunition box on the side of the artillery.
The gunpowder was loaded into the cannon according to the procedure.
Before igniting, a gunner said to Xiao Wenxuan: "Your Majesty, please cover your ears, this cannon is loud, I am afraid it will startle the emperor." ”
"And cover your ears?" Xiao Wenxuan was puzzled, but he still did as the artillery requested.
The other ministers also covered their ears when they saw it.
However, the crown prince looked disdainful at this time, and said to the second, third and fourth princes: "Yuan Liang said, the power of this artillery is not more than Erer, don't be nervous." ”
He didn't know that Zhao Yuanliang did it deliberately to belittle artillery, and most of what he said was not the truth.
The two princes and the three of them glanced at each other, they were not as idiots as the prince, but they still covered their ears, and only the prince was left proud, as if waiting to see the joke.
On one side of the firearms battalion was a small forest, and the artillerymen aimed the artillery at the woods, and saw Xiao Wenxuan covering his ears, and then lit the fuse.
"Boom", the fire sprayed, the earthquake trembled, and the sound of explosion and thunder came.
In an instant, the prince was stunned by the loud noise, and then his body began to shake violently, and his legs trembled accordingly.
A hint of warmth came out of his pants, and he was so frightened that he was incontinent.
The second prince and the others let go of their hands at this time, and their hearts were shocked, the sound of the artillery was like thunder, and the horses of the firearms battalion were so frightened that the company commander roared.
Just now they even felt a shock of the ground under their feet.
But what shocked them the most was that in the grove, "click, click, click", three bowl-thick trees broke off in a row.
Xiao Wenxuan's face was also a little pale, but there were more surprises than fright, this forest was two hundred meters away from the firearms battalion, and even so, there were still three trees broken, which was enough to show the power of the artillery.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, with such a sharp weapon, it will be difficult for the forbidden army to find opponents in the world." After Feng Deshui was shocked, he immediately patted his ass.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't speak, but walked to the side of the artillery, and he found the words made in Qingzhou on the artillery.
His face remained calm, but Xiao Wenxuan's heart was like a stormy wave, this cannon seemed to him to be incredibly powerful.
He finally understood why Xiao Ming was able to hold Cangzhou, when the barbarians saw this weapon for the first time, they must have been more shocked and more frightened than him.
If this artillery is placed at the head of the city, who will dare to attack the city lightly!
