Chapter 1210: Divine Artillery
Amid the discussion between the First Emperor and a group of onlookers, the boy in charge of checking the target soon sent back simple data in flags, and the cannonball hit the edge of the target.
After having the data of the two test guns, the teenager in charge of the third cannon quickly fine-tuned the direction and elevation angle of the barrel, and the third test gun began.
And this time, whether it was the First Emperor, the officials and the forbidden army, all of them looked much calmer, and many people also deliberately took off the woolen ball in their ears to feel the sound of some Taiyi God cannons being released, and felt this special stimulation.
"Boom~" half a minute later, the third cannon was launched, and soon the observation flag came back, the shell almost hit the center of the target, and the second big hole in the wall could also be clearly seen through the telescope, and the smoke and dust rising from the air were more than ten zhang high.
A strong smell of gunpowder wafted from the test position, which was blown away by the wind in the sun.
A group of gunners cleaned the chamber of the cannon after cooling down and reloaded it for the second time, this time with an uninterrupted three-gun burst to show the First Emperor the power of this dense artillery fire.
Ten minutes later, the three cannons were reloaded again, and under Chen Yong's command, the three cannons were ignited five seconds apart.
Soon three cannons roared one after another, accompanied by a deafening sound and a thick smoke sprayed, three shells hit the palace two miles away one after another, in the observation of thousands of pairs of eyes and hundreds of telescopes, this abandoned palace that still has a small half can no longer withstand this inhumane destruction and blow, and after holding on to less than two minutes in the crunching sound of wood breaking, it collapsed, and the dust flew into the air dozens of feet high.
And the scene of thunder and smoke in the sky like thunderbolts in the sky also made the domestic animals and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles flee in all directions, and the people nearby were all terrified and inexplicable, not knowing what was happening.
The effect of this burst was very domineering, and the collapse of the palace also greatly enhanced the atmosphere, so that a group of princes and princes such as Emperor Shi and Meng Yi were all stunned and couldn't put down the telescope for a long time.
Three cannons collapsed a palace, and this kind of power can only be described as divine thunder.
Daqin's current sharp weapon for siege is the catapult chariot and the hard crossbow of more than three stones, not to mention that the attack distance is only less than this half, and the power is not even this Chengdu, the stone of the trebuchet can only be thrown from the sky, relying on the weight to attack the city head, it is not very effective to deal with the thick city wall, mainly used to destroy the defense facilities of the city head and suppress the archbowmen on the city wall, under the suppression of the trebuchet and the hard crossbow, the cloud ladder to attack the city and hit the city gate after the army breaks through to the city under the pressure of the trebuchet and the hard crossbow, which is the main method of the siege war at present.
But if there is this kind of Shenlei artillery that can shoot almost straight, except for the tall and strong cities like Xianyang and Luoyang, I am afraid that ordinary city walls will not be able to stop this continuous attack at all, not only will the city wall be destroyed soon, but the military heart will also be destroyed by this terrifying thunder.
"The Taiyi God Cannon is indeed too powerful, such a powerful power, taking the world's cities is like taking things!" The commander of the military department looked at the drifting smoke and dust with a dull face and muttered to himself.
"What the Captain Department said is right, the Taiyi God Artillery is really worthy of being an immortal magic weapon, if my Great Qin already has this siege weapon, it is really easy to annex the Six Kingdoms!" Qin Shi Huang put down his binoculars, looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and nodded in admiration.
"What Your Majesty said is that if this immortal family magic weapon came out twenty years earlier, Zhao Qiyan, Chu, Han and Wei would all be vulnerable!" Meng Yi, who had not spoken, couldn't help but echo.
The First Emperor and a group of officials and forbidden troops were all shocked by Fang Cai's three consecutive saturation attacks, and when they discussed their feelings, Chen Yong had already ordered the three cannons to turn around and readjust their muzzles, aiming at the wooden wall two hundred zhang away.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the next step will be to demonstrate the effect of attacking enemy ships on the sea, please plug your ears!" Chen Xu reminded with a smile.
"Two hundred zhang distance, if you are on the sea except for the six-stone crossbow, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it, and the stone wall of the palace only two miles away can be destroyed, and this wooden wall is not worth mentioning!" An official nodded.
"Hehe, that's true, but I still really want to see the real power, so close to the broken ship, I'm afraid it's very shocking......"
Qin Shi Huang smiled and handed the binoculars to the Xuanwu Wei next to him, and then plugged his ears with woolen balls, and some other timid officials also began to block their ears, of course, there were also some princes and princes who liked stimulation who disdained to block their ears, and began to urge Chen Xu to hurry up and start one by one.
Ten minutes later, the adjusted three cannons were all reloaded, and Chen Yong reported again and raised the command flag, and soon issued the order to open the cannon.
"Boom Boom~~~"
This time it was a close-range shot, and in order to show the destructive power under the saturation bombardment at sea, Chen Xu designed three cannons to fire at the same time, so the leads of the three cannons were ignited at the same time, and they sounded almost at the same time, accompanied by the splashing fire and smoke, the ground trembled slightly a few times, and it was impossible to see the cannonballs that were out of the chamber at all.
"Boom~"
Under the simultaneous impact of three shells, the tall and thick wooden wall was directly shattered, and the wood debris and broken wood in the sky flew around like hail, and with a popping sound, the wooden wall collapsed like a pile of rotten wood.
"Wow~~" Thousands of forbidden troops and civil and military officials were all in an uproar, and the exclamations continued to sound one after another.
This time it was seen more clearly at close range, this wooden wall that was almost unshakable by human power was completely vulnerable in front of the Taiyi God artillery and directly turned into a pile of debris, if this was a wooden boat, everyone could imagine the final ending.
In the face of such tremendous power, everyone's mind is blank, and they can't find a word to describe their feelings.
But Chen Xu will not tell these landlubbers living on land that fighting on the sea, under the bumps of the waves and the complex environment, such a three-gun salvo is actually very poor, and the three shells may not hit a single shot, but he will not say this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, after the test of the cannon today, please give your Majesty a name for this cannon so that it can pass the world in the future!" After the young man of the musket team cleaned up the three cannons and retreated, Chen Xu said to Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang strode to the side of the three cannons again, and after carefully touching them with his hands for a long time, he said: "The sound is like thunder, the momentum is like a thunderbolt, the thunder and fire are like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, and there is the power of the tiger roaring and the dragon roaring when it is launched...... Since you can't use the name of Taiyi, I will give the name Shenwei Artillery, what do you think Aiqing? ”
"This name is majestic and domineering, and the ministers think it is excellent!"
Feng Quji, Meng Yi and a group of princes and princes opened the collective sycophant mode without any discipline, of course, including Chen Xu, a sycophant.
"Haha, that's good, from now on, in the name of Shenwei, the drawings will be handed over to the Shaofu Order, the manufacturing technology is absolutely confidential, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it, and every artillery gun produced and manufactured must be strictly registered, Meng Qing is responsible for reviewing, if there is a loss and leakage for no reason, it will be punished for treason, and no one else shall inquire about the news of Shenwei artillery, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed and raised the cannon to the highest level of Great Qin's national defense, leaving Meng Yi and Zhao Wei in charge of controlling the cannon's drawings and production supervision, and cutting off anyone's opportunity to inquire.
"Your Ministers obey!" A group of officials and princes and ministers all bowed with solemn faces.
With this kind of powerful immortal magic weapon, the emperor doesn't worry about anyone.
After the arrangement, Qin Shi Huang was about to return to the palace, but was stopped by Chen Xu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is here today, and it happens to be the time of spring, and the minister has also prepared some fun games for Your Majesty and your colleagues!" ”
"Oh, Aiqing, let's talk about any other fun games?" Qin Shi Huang was obviously a little reluctant to return to the deserted palace like this, so he hurriedly took Chen Xu's hand and said with a smile.
"The minister said, this Taiyi God artillery was born from the Taiyi God Thunder, and the Taiyi God Flame Gun has the same effect, the power of the artillery Your Majesty and your colleagues have already seen, but because the power is too great and the operation is complicated, so you can only watch it, today the Minister also brought some Taiyi God Musket, Your Majesty and you can personally experience the feeling of shooting with the Taiyi God Musket!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Not only Qin Shi Huang's excited eyes burst out of small stars, but the princes and princes around him were all violently commotioned, and even many people jumped up with excitement, asking Chen Xu to quickly take out the Taiyi Divine Musket and have a look
"Don't worry, the Taiyi Divine Musket has already been prepared, but please wait a while, wait for me to arrange someone to demonstrate the target and shooting method......" Chen Xu hurriedly turned around to appease these excited soil buns.
"Don't talk nonsense, quickly take out the Taiyi God Musket!" Meng Yi grabbed Chen Xu's arm, blew his beard, and glared.
"What Meng Qing said is right, the young master should hurry up and take out the divine musket and let me and you Aiqing watch it first!"
The emperor was also excited that some cat's paws had a seizure, although he was the emperor of Great Qin and nominally owned everything in the world, but these immortal magic weapons named after Taiyi in Chen Xu's hands made him blushing and a little jealous at the same time, and he never dared to ask for it, even if he knew that Chen Xu used Taiyi Divine Thunder to open mountains and blow up stones and even sent it to Li Shun and others in the mission to save his life on the way, but Chen Xu did not take the initiative to show him, so he kept holding back and not opening his mouth, after all, this matter is related to the immortal family, and the so-called heavenly secret cannot be revealed, Rashly begging for it may bring untouchable disasters to Chen Xu, even Daqin, and even himself.
And Chen Xu also grasped the worship and jealousy of ghosts and gods in the hearts of people in this era, and used the skin of an immortal disciple to mix it so well.
Under the strong pressure of the First Emperor and a group of princes and princesses, Chen Xu had to ask a group of teenagers from the musket team to pry open a few wooden crates and take out the thirty firearms that he had carefully selected from the Nanshan Courtyard a few days ago for the First Emperor and a group of people to see.
