Gunner Zhao Erzhu smiled excitedly.

"The commander wants to talk about it, look at me."

"When Lao Tzu speaks doesn't count, if you really have the ability to knock down the gate building opposite, Lao Tzu will personally ask Your Majesty for credit."

Erzhu wiped his nose and looked around the red-clothed cannon a few times again.

"No problem, I must knock it out."

On the city of Xinkou Pass, the Yiwu army looked at the huge catapults, and they were a little hairy.

"It's a rock-throwing truck, right?"

Song Jingang was wearing bright light armor and stood on the city tower to watch.

Two hundred paces away, the twenty stone-throwing carts were still so conspicuous, after all, they were so huge, and the boom of the stone-throwing carts was so eye-catching.

But what puzzled him was that such a large rock-throwing truck usually had to be pulled by at least 200 people, but what about Lasso, what about people?

Looking at the side of the stone-throwing truck, there are only a dozen or so people busy coming and going.

"I guess these rock-throwing trucks haven't been assembled yet."

Song Jingang could only think of it like this.

"Marshal, do you want to send light horsemen to destroy those stone-throwing carts?" Ichisho asked.

The threat of large stone-throwing vehicles to the city is huge, although this kind of stone-throwing vehicles generally have no accurate head, that is, they are smashed indiscriminately, but when the two armies are fighting, the enemy's stone bullets are flying all over the sky, and it can also make the defenders frightened, after all, this thing, even if it is a big fist, it is really to be smashed or injured, not to mention that if it is a boulder of more than ten catties, it is even the city oar.

"Wait and see!"

Song Jingang rejected the proposal of his subordinates, after all, there were 100,000 Qin troops under the pass, and even Luo Chengdu, the son of the Great Qin, came in person.

Close.

A gallop to the front of the palace.

"Report, the red-coated cannon has been loaded, and His Majesty has ordered!"

"Dingfang, this is the first appearance of artillery, everyone is curious why the catapult is an independent army, this is the time for you to perform, show your strength, to prove it to everyone."

Su Dingfang said loudly, "The ministers will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

"Okay, as long as you behave well today, then I will give you the military horn, go."

Su Dingfang ordered him to retreat, get on his horse and gallop back.

Returning to the front of the artillery array, Su Dingfang shouted to the group of artillery under his command, "Your Majesty has already said that as long as we perform well, then give us the military title and become an army of our own." ”

The artillerymen cheered.

"Shoot!"

Zhao Erzhu raised a large wooden mallet high and slammed it on the ratchet trigger of the stone throwing car.

There was a loud bang.

The ratchet lock is unfastened.

Suddenly, the gold weight box that was hoisted high immediately fell violently, the weight box fell sharply, and at the other end of the arm rod, the stone bullet weighing one hundred and fifty pounds was violently bounced out.

The boulder roared and broke through the air.

On the tower of the Xinkou City Gate, Dai Jun thought that the Qin army's stone-throwing car had not yet been assembled, so they all crowded there to see the strangeness. Who would have expected that suddenly there would be this violent sound of breaking the air.

The red-clothed cannon that Zhao Erzhu was in charge of, the stone bullets whistled out, and they were directly aimed at the city gate building more than 200 steps away.

The Guancheng Tower of Xinkou is very good-looking, and on this dangerous Guancheng, it looks a little bit of the arrogance of a general.

But almost instantly, a boulder fell from the sky.

directly smashed half of the city gate building.

The boulder smashed half of the city gate building and went castrated, flew to the city with countless broken bricks and wood, and smashed into a house not far from the city wall, directly smashed a huge hole, and even smashed a large pit several feet deep after the stone bullet landed.

World shaking.

"Pillar, hit, really hit, you're really a fucking talent!"

Su Dingfang couldn't help but be ecstatic, he was already a box-level officer before, but once a group of subordinates committed the crime of robbery, murder and adultery after breaking the city, although he was a newly enlisted feudal man, but the above would not care about this, he was implicated and demoted several levels in a row.

Later, he was appointed by the emperor to form this artillery battalion, and he worked very hard and regarded it as his own turnaround.

Unexpectedly, in this first shot, half of the city gate building was directly killed, which is really a long face.

"Commander, what you promised me, two catties of Longmen flying generals."

"Two altars, no, Lao Tzu will give you ten altars." Su Dingfang shouted with red eyes.

The remaining nineteen red-coated cannons threw boulders one after another, two of which smashed into the city wall, shaking the ground, and more of them crossed the city wall and smashed into the city.

Distance.

The emperor and the generals looked at the majesty of this cannon, and couldn't help but praise loudly.

"I really can't imagine that this improved stone-throwing truck actually uses only a few people, but it is more powerful than the previous two or three hundred people."

"Indeed, and I think this red-coated cannon seems to be relatively quick and easy to assemble and disassemble."

"Hahaha, let me tell you, these redcoat cannons are made of standardized parts, all the parts of the redcoat cannons, as long as they are of the same model, can be used interchangeably, and they are all optimized and simplified as much as possible, so it is very convenient to disassemble, assemble and transport, easy to operate, and even a lot more convenient to maintain. Of course, the most important thing is that the power of this redcoat cannon is even stronger. ”

In addition, he reloads quickly.

After the first round of shooting, several loaders over there began to pry the ratchet again, allowing the weight box to come down.

In about a quarter of an hour, the reload was completed again.

If you want to talk about the disadvantages, it is that this thing is not like the artillery of later generations, it has a high accuracy and a matching aiming and measurement tool. The accuracy of the redcoat cannon is not perfect enough, and it depends on the gunner's intuition and proficiency as for aiming.

Therefore, the first shot smashed the city gate building, and even Luo Cheng felt that it was just a mistake.

"Your Majesty, with this Zhenguo artifact, who will be able to stop my Great Qin Army from attacking and breaking through in the future?" All the generals congratulated the emperor.

"Hahaha, the red-clothed cannon can indeed be called a Zhenguo artifact, but after all, it is just a weapon, everyone must not put the cart before the horse."

"The mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the unparalleled weapons are not as good as the people's support, and the country is not in danger in Germany!" The emperor said with emotion. The innovation of weapons can only bring about the innovation of tactics, but not everything.

Just like Yang Guang, although he has an army of millions, he will still lose the world in the end.

Twenty red-coated cannons bombarded more than 100 catties of boulders into the city in turn, and a thousand medium-sized and small catapults also followed and pushed them under the city and began to bomb the sky.

Wei Chi Jingde saw that the city had been smashed and had no power to resist, and he was overjoyed at the moment, waving his knife and shouting again and again.

"Come with me to the city!"

In the second year of the Great Qin Kaiyuan, in mid-June.

The emperor drove to Xinkou Pass in person, Su Dingfang commanded the artillery with 20 red-clothed cannons to appear and assist, and Wei Chigong led his troops to go first and won Xinkou Pass in a battle.
