A faint smoke drifted through the air, and a strong smell of gunpowder came to the face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Xin, who was in front of the artillery, shook his body at the moment of the loud noise, and although he insisted on not sitting on the ground, everyone could see that his legs were trembling slightly.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei's faces were a little pale, they didn't cover their ears just now, as generals, they still had to save face in front of the soldiers.

So Luo Xin kept staring during the process of igniting the fire, posing as if he was not afraid of anything.

At this time, Niu Ben couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ming gratefully, fortunately he didn't ride a horse just now, otherwise he would have been thrown to the ground by the frightened war horse at this time.

Looking at the soldiers who were chasing the fleeing horses, Niu Ben looked at the cannon in front of Luo Xin again, and his eyes gradually became different.

If this cannon is used in front of the battle, it will inevitably cause the war horses of the barbarian cavalry to be confused.

"Your Highness, why is this thing so loud?" Luo Xin turned to Xiao Ming at this time and said.

At this time, he gradually regained his composure, and pretended to be calm as usual and said to Xiao Ming.

"Can it be called artillery if it doesn't sound?" Xiao Ming said as he walked to the artillery.

Because of the strong recoil, the position of the gun has been moved back a bit, and the next fire will need to be recalibrated, and it seems that the weight of the gun base will be increased a bit.

He looked at Liu's Wubao again, and at this time, the gate of Liujiawubao was smashed out of the hole by artillery.

Artillery is a straight line kill, and it is aimed accurately, which is why artillery can kill a large number of enemies on the battlefield.

A line is played out, and in ancient times when it was used to dense formations, it was basically the same as a string of sugar gourds.

Although the power of the catapult is very large, it is only a point of damage, and it is not good to deal with soldiers, and the siege effect is good.

"A few more shots, and blast open the gates of this castle for me."

The first shot was successfully fired, and the artillery performed excellently.

The gate of this Wubao is also very thick, but at this time, it can withstand the bombardment of solid artillery shells, and it is estimated that it will basically be torn apart after a few more shots.

"I'm not coming." Luo Xin was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and he didn't go back to the army with his head back.

The moment the artillery was fired just now, his scalp was numb.

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter in the army, this was the laughter of the soldiers, but thinking that they were scared just now, their hearts trembled, they were not mocking Luo Xin.

The cannon sounded like thunder, and both humans and animals had an instinctive fear of the sound.

This is also why artillery needs to train for a long time.

Qingzhou was in a mess here, and Liu Chuang in Wubao was even more unbearable, and at the moment of the loud noise, many bandits were directly paralyzed to the ground in fright.

The bandits guarding the gates were even more confused, for as soon as the sound appeared, the gates were shattered.

It's just that the horror is still behind, a black object directly passed through the gate and smashed the ten soldiers guarding the back, the first soldier's body chest was blurred with flesh and blood, the second soldier's arm was broken, and the third soldier's head was directly turned into paste, and the death was very miserable.

"What the hell is this? It is said that King Qi knows witchcraft, is it true? ”

The bandits who were lucky enough to stock were all pale.

Liu Chuang, who was on the city tower, was no better, and at this time, someone came up and told him about the situation below, and he was shocked.

At this time, the Qingzhou army outside the city seemed to be ready to use that thing again.

"They're going to blast the gates open, what the hell is this, how terrifying!" Liu Chuang exclaimed in his heart, but he would believe that this was King Qi's magic like other soldiers.

Because he saw it with his own eyes, he vaguely understood in his heart that it was an explosion of gunpowder.

"What to do? Many people at the city gate were too frightened to approach. The man said.

Liu Chuang felt hopeless for the first time, the tunnel had not yet been opened, and this strange weapon would soon smash the city gate to pieces.

"Fight with them!" Liu Chuang said angrily: "Let the brothers prepare the guys." ”

"Yes!" The man answered and quickly descended the tower.

They knew very well that there was no room for negotiation between them, the children of the wealthy clan, and the King of Qi, either you died or I died.

Outside the city, Chen Qi was calmly cleaning the cannon chamber and reloading it, Luo Xin was not happy, so he replaced Chen Qi, because Chen Qi and other craftsmen had already itchy hands.

After the artillery was loaded, Chen Qi and the others used the aiming star on the cannon to aim at the gate of Wubao again.

"Boom!" There was another sound, and there was another hole in the gate of Uberg.

Behind the artillery, Niu Ben and Xiao Ming stood side by side, five years of hard labor in the mine, Niu Ben originally admitted that there was nothing to make his mood go up and down.

But today, his long-dormant heart rippled again, and he said to Xiao Ming: "No wonder Your Highness dares to guard Cangzhou alone, with this sharp weapon, it will definitely catch the barbarians off guard, this time the barbarians may have encountered a hard bone when they went south." ”

"The old general values this artillery so much, I am relieved, this artillery is only the first one, and the artillery produced in the future will be installed on the Cangzhou city gate to resist the barbarians." Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben nodded and asked, "Your Highness, how much can this artillery be produced in a month, and when the barbarians attack the city, how many cantons can Cangzhou City have?" ”

"Fifty doors at most, and that's when there are enough materials." Xiao Ming frowned.

There are a lot of procedures involved in the production of a gun, and even if there are iron molds now, casting a gun is not a matter of a day or two.

It's already May, and he doesn't have much time left to produce artillery.

"If there is enough ammunition, fifty will suffice." Niu Ben said, "You only need to destroy the barbarians' siege engines and ladders, and the barbarians will never be able to capture Cangzhou City." ”

Niu Ben said to the point, the most important thing in attacking the city is to break the city gate, and breaking the city gate basically depends on the siege equipment, and the soldiers cannot climb the city tower with only their hands and feet.

And this artillery has a long range, great power, and can shoot accurately, and when the time comes, the siege equipment will be fired wherever it is, which is enough for the barbarians to drink a pot.

When the two of them spoke, there was another "boom", and only Chen Qi's voice was heard, "The door is open, the door is open." ”

Xiao Ming looked, and sure enough, a gap opened in the city gate of Wubao, and a hole was broken in the middle of the city gate, presumably the position of the door bolt was hit.

Niu Ben saw it at the same time, and then drew his knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The Qingzhou army, which had been holding back outside the city for three days, had long been angry with this gang of bandits, and rushed towards Wubao like hungry wolves at this time.

On the city tower, Liu Chuang looked at the silver steel torrent, and immediately turned around and went down the city tower.

The Qingzhou army is five times larger than themselves, and they are wearing this kind of armor that looks invulnerable, and their defeat is certain.
