"This is where the best sword in the Great Song Dynasty and even in the whole world is located."

Zhang Shangshu pointed to the rows of half-finished swords placed in the smelting room, these swords were still just formed and had not been opened, but their texture was visible to the naked eye, Wenchen may not feel anything, but the generals stepped forward one by one to take off those swords and axes and put them in their hands to look at them.

If it weren't for the complete weapon blade in front of the emperor, they would have had the finished product come up with and test it.

"Get me one and take a look." Zhao Xuan looked at it for a while and then suddenly said, "No, I will choose it myself." ”

The general manager immediately took the order and brought Zhao Xuan to the sword warehouse in front, and as soon as he opened the warehouse, the dense chopping knife saber inside was presented in front of Zhao Xing.

The knives inside are protected by rattan scabbards, but they can still smell the strong smell of grease and ironware, this smell that belongs to men goes straight to the door, and Zhao Xuan can't help but get hot.

He casually pulled out a knife from the box, this brand new knife has not seen blood, it looks a little jerky, but its sharpness and tenacity are already unconcealable, and you can feel the stability of the center of gravity in your hand, and it seems to be very easy to wield.

"Here, show me if this thing is a good thing."

After hearing the signal, the generals behind him immediately stepped forward and took their favorite weapons, these guys may be ornaments on the bodies of the literati, but in their hands they are the most reliable companions in the world.

These forty or fifty-year-old bearded men all turned into children who saw their beloved toys at this moment, and they were reluctant to put down the weapons in their hands, and even one of them took out the guard's saber and picked up the long knife in his hand and slashed it down.

In an instant, the guard's sword broke in response, but the "Qi Family Knife" in the general's hand did not even appear a little gap.

"Good knives! Good! ”

The general couldn't help but sigh, but when he raised his head, he found that everyone, including Zhao Xing, was looking at him, and he retreated into the crowd with a red face. Only the guard was left looking at the broken sword on the ground with a sad expression.

"Master Jun, don't be sad." At this time, the general manager stepped forward and handed over a sword in both hands: "This is a gift from the workshop to the military master." ”

The guard's expression immediately perked up, and he took his sword and arched it towards the general manager, and softly thanked him.

And the bigwigs next to them didn't pay attention to these at all, they were just sighing at the power of this sword.

"Speaking of which, why haven't these swords been seen in my Great Song Dynasty military system?"

"These goods are all supplied to Liao." The general manager immediately stepped forward and introduced: "This sword can be exchanged for two hundred and fifty catties of refined iron ore, which is very cost-effective." ”

But they didn't seem to hear the word cost-effective in this sentence, they only heard the supply to the Liao State, and this time the general's nest exploded, they were bursting, and when they heard that such a good sword was actually supplied to the neighboring countries instead of the Great Song Dynasty, these generals almost turned their faces at that time.

"Say! Why only for Liao! ”

A border army commander was so angry that his face was flushed: "My Great Song Dynasty's armament is not as good as Liao's, how do you want to give such a good guy to Liao?" ”

When he said that he was excited, he even grabbed the collar of the general manager's clothes: "What are you doing!" ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his fist and was about to fight, but at this time, Zhao Xing frowned: "Stop!" An Zhiyuan, why are you so explosive? ”

was reprimanded by the boss, but the general's eyes turned red, let go of the general manager and then knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Xing, and said with a choked voice: "Official, do you know, my Great Song Border Army has always been bitter, and when it was an enemy of the Liao State, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers were not as well equipped as the Liao State and suffered a lot, if it weren't for the soldiers who blocked it with flesh and blood, now ...... Now...... Now I'm afraid that Da Song has retreated to Annam! ”

"Ridiculous!"

Wen Chen snorted violently: "Why are you talking nonsense!? ”

Turning his head to look over, he found that it was the voice of the squire of the Ministry of War, and he reprimanded angrily: "General An, you don't want to talk and have white teeth, the Ministry of War was never ambiguous in the matter of border army armaments, and it was even better than the forbidden army!" Why do you say that? ”

"Hehe, Cheng Shilang, now that the times have passed, there is naturally no proof of death, but have you thought about why there is not one out of ten border troops?"

Zhao Xing saw that the two sides were about to argue about old things again, so he hurriedly raised his hand: "Two Aiqing slowly, don't argue first, doesn't General An want to know why such good guys want to supply Liaoguo?" Ask. ”

As soon as Zhao Xing reminded him, people's attention was on the general manager again, and the general manager seemed to be panicked, but in fact he was as stable as an old dog, because today's scene had already been expected by Lord Song.

Now it seems that Lord Song is really a genius, almost a god......

"Official...... Ladies and gentlemen, how can this workshop lose a lot of my great Song soldiers, please deign to come with the villain......"

Zhao Xing and the others followed the general manager to the back mountain of the workshop, where the top of the mountain is relatively flat, and a test field has been reclaimed above, surrounded by heavy high walls, inside is an open space covering an area of about 60 acres, and next to it is a vast wilderness, the kind that is deserted.

It was about a quarter of an hour's journey from the workshop, and Zhao Xing was sharp on his legs, but the old men were a little out of breath.

When they finally arrived at this place, they were immediately served sugar water and pastries to relieve their fatigue, and there were small temporary sheds for them to take shelter from the wind.

"It's a great place to look out from the railing." Zhao Xiang took a sip of warm sugar water, relieved his spirits, and pinched up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth: "This place can overlook Jinling City." ”

"Yes, the old man often comes here in his spare time." Zhang Shangshu said with a smile: "This place can be said to be the brainchild of the old man, and whether it can go down in history depends on this workshop." ”

"Oh? Master Zhang also wants to go down in history? ”

"Hahahaha, isn't it the same when Lord Xiangguo tests the poison?"

"Hahaha......"

The two of them laughed, only to see two strangely shaped objects pushed out of the back room, all made of fine iron, with two wheels underneath, and a special bracket for stabilizing.

"What is this?" Zhao Xiang asked curiously: "Who can afford such an object?" ”

Zhang Shangshu raised his head full of ambition and smiled: "Let's wait and see." ”

The general manager trotted all the way over and said to Zhao Xing: "Official...... Ready to start? ”

"You start [new]."

The general manager nodded, turned and ran over to say a few words to the soldier who was operating the two small steel cannons, and they began to steer the two cannons to a wall in the distance.

Everyone didn't know what they were doing, but they methodically began to fill the chamber with gunpowder, then took out the split shell, loaded the warhead into the base, and stuffed the shell into the chamber together.

Then the man next to him began to wave the flag, and the soldier in charge of the ignition inserted the fuse into the barrel of the gun and lit it with the fire signal.

Suddenly, two dry land thunders suddenly appeared, except for Zhao Xing and the Ministry of Works, everyone else was frightened, and some even sat directly on the ground......

After the commotion continued for a while, the dust in the school yard gradually cleared, and at this time they saw that the soldiers were methodically using crowbars to pry out the shell casings from the barrels and throw them aside, then cleaned them with cloth and began to reload them a second time.

This time, everyone was mentally prepared, and after the two cannons rang out again, many generals stood up and watched.

In a few breaths after the cannon sounded, two clouds of smoke and dust erupted from the top of the mountain hundreds of feet away, and the wall seemed to have missed in the first round, but in the second round, a shell hit the wall directly, and the originally heavy wall collapsed like this.

All this was presented in the eyes of everyone present, and this subversive attack method made the eyes of the generals present drop......

Not to mention them, even Zhao Xuan, who knew the slightest rumor, stood up in shock and looked at the mountain in the distance in amazement.

Visually, this mountain can be up and down 300 zhang, which is a distance that a bow and arrow can't even think of, but this thunderous thing can defeat the target so quickly and efficiently.

What does this mean? This shows that in the future, there will be a new version of the ship that none of them have seen before, and the version that subverts an entire era!

What's more important is that this thing is not only long-range, but also very powerful, the wall is actually similar to the conventional earthen city wall, but it is just a cannon down and it collapses, although it is impossible to have such a high efficiency in actual combat, but if it can really open an opening in the enemy's city wall at once, then there is no longer any siege without besieging the city, and the victory and defeat have been divided with a fierce bombardment of the city wall.

The manager walked back at this time to report the situation to Zhao Xing, and the general, who had just grabbed him, rushed up and grabbed him.

"Is this a real thing?"

"What if...... If the general doesn't believe it, he can go to the test launch himself, but be careful, if you don't pay attention, you will be blinded. ”

After all, General Na'an was a general, and he really stepped forward in person, and slowly and steadily began to clean, charge, install, load, and excite the barrel step by step according to the instructions of the artillery.

When the heat wave came from in front of him, the violent tremor made his internal organs feel tormented, but the real power and the incomparable power made him not care about the buzzing in his ears, and he happily ran back and said with his hands dancing: "This thing is comparable to thousands of troops!" Thousands of troops, officials!! ”

Zhao Xuan pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back: "The one in charge." ”

"Alas, the grass people are in ...... What do the officials command? ”

"How much money is this one?"

"This is cheap, if I come to the Song Dynasty, I can't use more than thirty cannonballs."

Thirty Runs!! Hearing this, the general, who was still dancing just now, suddenly calmed down......
