"Poof!"

Zhao Kuan, who was drinking water, suddenly spit out all the tea in his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Twenty thousand taels of silver, this is enough to form a four-hundred-person Xuanjia Iron Cavalry." Zhao Kuan blurted out.

Zhao Yuanliang also frowned, "Your Highness, the price of this artillery is too high, I'm afraid we can't afford it." ”

When talking to Xiao Wenxuan about the price of this artillery, Xiao Ming specially said to Xiao Wenxuan that the eight thousand taels were the price for the imperial court, and the price outside would not be the same as that of the imperial court.

and also euphemistically asked Xiao Wenxuan not to tell the price, and Xiao Wenxuan agreed at that time.

Therefore, except for Xiao Wenxuan, no one knows the price of Xiao Ming's artillery, but he also knows that King Zhao is not stupid, and he must have a plan about the price of the cannon in his heart.

"And what do you think this cannon is worth?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Six thousand taels is enough, of course, we are responsible for the transportation." Zhao Yuanliang said.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming stood up, "That's it, Yuan Liang, you may not have seen this artillery, but you have heard of the prestige of this artillery, why don't you take this king to see it." ”

"That's what I mean, and I hope His Highness will lead the way." Zhao Yuanliang's face was full of anticipation.

Xiao Ming nodded, and took Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan to the Qingzhou camp together.

Now there is an open field on the side of the Qingzhou camp, and there are three artillery pieces specially used for training in this field, and Xiao Ming took Zhao Yuanliang to the artillery training ground.

At this time, Luo Xin was guiding artillery training in the training ground, and the last battle of Cangzhou was very hasty, and the accuracy of this artillery on the battlefield was too poor, and basically the artillery shells were flying randomly on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the psychological fright caused by the use of artillery for the first time, the effect of this artillery would really be unsatisfactory.

So after the Battle of Cangzhou, Xiao Ming asked Luo Xin to train the soldiers how to aim, how to adjust the angle, how to hit the vibrator, so as to maximize the power of the artillery.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Luo Xin and the soldiers on the training ground immediately saluted him, and the armor on his body made a sound of metal rubbing.

Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan glanced at the armor on the soldiers, and a hint of discoloration flashed in their eyes.

According to their understanding, in this battle of Cangzhou, although the artillery contributed a lot, but in their opinion, the armor of the Qingzhou Army wrapped all over the body also had merit.

At the gates of the city, it was inconvenient for them to observe the armor of the soldiers defending the city, and now they carefully examined this special armor.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness?" Luo Xin saluted and looked at Zhao Yuanliang.

"Luo Xin." Zhao Yuanliang has seen Luo Xin more times than Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said: "Since we all know, this matter is simple, Luo Xin, this time the prince came here for the artillery matter, you now let the soldiers shoot a cannonball for the prince to see." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Xin responded.

Peacetime is peacetime, but in the army, Xiao Ming is the highest general, and he must obey orders as a subordinate, because in the matter of army discipline, Xiao Ming is iron-faced and ruthless.

Even Lu Fei has been dealt with many times by military law, and now he is honest.

Zhao Yuanliang looked at the artillery in front of him at this time, with a slight expectation in his heart, and Zhao Kuan's eyes were even brighter.

Cangzhou station, the name of this artillery spread all over the country, on the contrary, Xiao Ming's credit is not as loud as this artillery.

On the one hand, this is Cui Hao and others deliberately suppressing Xiao Ming, on the other hand, what they don't know is that this is Xiao Ming doing it on purpose, the purpose is to sell arms.

Now, under Xiao Ming's guidance, each artillery battalion is equipped with four people as standard, one is responsible for cleaning the chamber, one is responsible for loading ammunition, one is responsible for aiming, and one is responsible for ignition, so that the artillery can be fired continuously as soon as possible.

At this time, the four soldiers in front of the artillery successively completed the gun loading and aiming work, and the rest only needed to ignite.

"Your Highness, this time it's a target of two hundred paces." Luo Xin said.

Xiao Ming nodded, in the end, he is his own person, he has a good heart, and if he wants to demonstrate it to outsiders, he naturally wants to show the most shocking effect.

At this time, at two hundred meters is a stone wall, which is specially used as a target.

"Yuanliang, you better cover your ears, the sound will be loud later." Xiao Ming suggested.

Zhao Yuanliang said: "Your Highness doesn't need to, since we want to buy artillery, we naturally have to experience it." ”

When the four artillerymen heard this, they immediately looked like idiots, because they knew very well how loud the sound of the cannon was, and even their hearing had been reduced after a long period of training.

Xiao Ming didn't stop him, the surface of harmony was to be maintained, but he didn't bother to care about them, after all, this vassal king with a different surname was not a good stubble.

"Ignition." Luo Xin shouted at this time.

At the same time, he stuffed a cotton plug into his ear, and Xiao Ming also stood far away.

The four soldiers also stuffed the cotton stopper into their ears at the same time, and the soldier in charge of lighting the fire lit the cannon, "boom", the fire shone brightly, and with a loud bang, Xiao Ming only felt that the ground also shook.

"My mother......"

At the moment when the cannon rang out, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan screamed in fright, staggered back, and almost fell.

"Yuanliang is fine." Xiao Ming asked.

Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan's faces were pale at this time, there were torches on their city walls, and when he saw the artillery, he thought that the sound of this cannon and the torch was almost the same, and now they regretted it, but now they lost face in front of Xiao Ming.

"It's all right, Your Highness." Zhao Yuanliang said strongly, while Zhao Kuan's legs were trembling all the time.

Seeing this, the four artillerymen held back a smile one by one, and Luo Xin couldn't help laughing, no way, this was all caused by the two of them.

Zhao Yuanliang naturally noticed the expressions of Luo Xin and the four soldiers, he was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he was still kind on the surface, and said: "Your Highness, the sound of this artillery is really loud, but I don't know how powerful it is?" ”

"Yuan Liang, you will know it when you look over there." Xiao Ming pointed to the stone wall at a distance of two hundred meters and said.

Looking in the direction of Xiao Ming's finger, a trace of shock flashed in Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan's eyes, and a section of stone wall that was still standing on the ground just now collapsed at this time.

"Your Highness, this is not enough to show the power of the artillery, maybe the stone wall is not strong enough." Zhao Yuanliang said.

Since he brought Zhao Yuanliang over, Xiao Ming naturally had all kinds of preparations, and he said: "Since Yuanliang doesn't believe it, let's change the goal." ”

Then Xiao Ming took Zhao Yuanliang to the training ground, and when he walked to four hundred steps, a row of clay cavalry-like targets appeared in front of him.

"This is a cavalry statue built in the shape of a barbarian cavalry, one every ten meters, this row is thirty, these clay sculptures are strong enough." Xiao Ming introduced, "At this time, the artillery is four hundred steps away, and the prince will look at the power of the artillery." Xiao Ming said.

After seeing it, Xiao Ming returned with the two, and at this time the soldiers fired at the cavalry clay sculpture again.

However, because of the long distance, the target was too small, and the artillery did not hit three times in a row, until the fourth time, the artillery hit the cavalry clay sculpture.

At this time, Xiao Ming took Zhao Yuanliang and the others to the front, and when they saw the mess in one place, and when all the thirty clay sculptures were shattered, Zhao Yuanliang was stunned.
