Ten miles outside Gaochang City, in a valley, there are rocks and forests, it is a barren valley, surrounded by three thousand Turkic elite cavalry, and no one can get close to it within five miles.

Feng Daiwen, Duan Zhixuan, Li Chunfeng, Li Ke, Li Tai, five people with 1,800 people were located in the valley.

In front of them were five huge steel cannons, with two-zhang long barrels, muzzles larger than a human head, black like a black hole, which could attract people's attention.

The steel cannon is fixed on a steel frame, and there are large wheels made of eucommia glue under the steel frame, which is not only convenient for transportation, but also helps to absorb shock when the cannon is fired.

Several craftsmen are doing the final inspection, filling, although the Xuanjia Army has launched many times virtually, this will still be a nervous inspection, in the inspection.

It wasn't until one of the team commanders raised a flag and waved it towards Feng Daven that the craftsman began to retreat.

"General Duan, from now on, until there is a new appointment in the Holy Heaven, the artillery and spearmen are all under your responsibility, and this order is still yours." Feng Daiwen said with a serious face, Duan Zhixuan, after finishing speaking, he took Li Ke and the three of them to the side, and beckoned the guards to raise the big shield and escort them in front of Li Ke and the others.

Duan Zhixuan nodded vigorously, he had seen the scene of gunpowder explosion, it was quite powerful, and he was still a little afraid of this thing made of so much steel and called a steel cannon.

"Summons, solid ammunition loading, target the mountain in front of you." Duan Zhixuan swallowed his saliva vigorously and gave orders to the guards around him.

When the guards heard this, they immediately whistled vigorously and waved the flag in their hands.

This set of passwords is a set of instructions that Duan Zhixuan has repeatedly studied, including the order flag, specific colors, and the number of swings.

"Solid bullets!" The gunners of the Xuanjia Army, the team commander shouted loudly, and the gunners immediately got busy.

"Put!" When the team commander saw that the filling was completed, he raised the order flag in his hand and waved it violently.

Someone next to him immediately stepped forward, lit the fuse with a huge incense, and then quickly retreated to the back.

"Bang! Bang bang! "There were five loud bangs in a row, and a puff of smoke rose from the position.

"Bang bang bang! Whoa, whoa, whoa! There were also a few muffled noises on the mountain, and the stones kept sliding down.

Everyone was stunned and looked at everything in front of them, including Feng Daiwen, who had seen it on TV, but it was the first time that a cannon was fired in front of him, and the huge sound and the stones rolling down from the mountain showed that its power was extraordinary, not to mention the distance of thousands of meters, which was the effect that catapults could not do.

"Let's go, let's see." When no stone fell, Feng Daiwen took the lead in coming back to his senses and waved his hand to take the lead.

"Okay, that's amazing." Li Tai looked at the iron egg that had been embedded in the stone, and said in amazement.

"It's okay!" Feng Daiwen took a closer look, and was able to hit the stone into most of the hemisphere of iron, which was not bad, although it was not as good as that of later generations, as a first-generation cannon, it was already very good.

"It's so powerful, you still say it's okay? That's what it takes to be good. Li Tai asked in disbelief.

"This depends on the follow-up research of the scientific research institute, to achieve the extreme, one shot can open the mountain and crack the rock, a radius of a few zhang, there is no live mouth." Feng Daiwen recalled and sighed.

"The subordinates must work hard and try their best to improve." Li Chunfeng saw that such a powerful weapon came from his own hands, and heard that it could become so powerful, so he said loudly and excitedly.

"Dummy, try it out with a bullet." Feng Daiwen greeted Duan Zhixuan, who was still looking around, and continued.

"Let's go, let......'s go," Duan Zhixuan couldn't wait to beckon.

As several people retreated, a warrior immediately excitedly led a hundred sheep and tied them loosely to the target place.

One by one, they looked excited, constantly aiming at the mountain that had been shelled, obviously looking forward to the fact that they were about to control such a divine soldier, but fortunately, they had no one to talk about it because of their good training.

"Bang! Bang! "Two sounds, because it was an experimental flowering bomb, only one cannon was used, one sound was shot, and the second sound exploded.

I saw that the sheep fell down in an instant, some were screaming, and some were struggling frantically.

There was no need to say hello now, Duan Zhixuan, Li Ke, and Li Tai immediately rushed to the flock, and Feng Daiwen and Li Chunfeng also hurriedly followed.

"Miserable! It's so miserable! Li Tai looked at the sheep that fell to the ground, shook his head and sighed, but his eyes couldn't hide the excitement.

I saw that many sheep were directly pierced by iron beads, the worst was like a honeycomb, and some of them were bleeding, but there were no injuries, which were shocked to death by a loud sound, or scared to death.

"Energetic, really exciting!" Duan Zhixuan admired again and again with a smile on his face.

Feng Daiwen looked at Duan Zhixuan, who was smiling happily, and understood his feelings, such a powerful army, I don't think there is a general who doesn't like it, and Li Shimin must let him lead, at least some of the troops will belong to him.

"Cross-release, put a few rounds and see if there is any problem." Feng Daiwen calmly ordered.

"Yes!" The Xuanjia soldiers replied excitedly and loudly, and immediately took action.

For a moment, the valley remembered the continuous roar, and the stones on the cliff kept falling.

After waiting for half an hour and putting it for more than ten rounds, it stopped, and everyone felt a buzzing in their ears and their heads swelled.

After a long pause, the valley filled with gunpowder became clear, but it was still filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, looking at the devastated cliffs in a daze, and some people rubbed their eyes and swallowed saliva in disbelief.

After waiting for a while, Feng Daiwen told everyone to rest in place for an hour, and then conducted the musket experiment.

After enough rest, and basically everyone's mood calmed down, there were thirty musketeers lined up.

Thirty men, divided into three columns, fired in three sections like the archers, with the first platoon half-squatting to aim, the second platoon preparing, and the third platoon holding guns on standby.

The first row of guns retreated and reloaded, the second row stepped forward to release the guns, and then continued to retreat, and the third row stepped forward.

In actual combat, the guns are basically not too dense, and the interval will be longer, because the first platoon has already put the enemy down, and you need to wait for the enemy to rush up and put the second shot, or rush over and put the second shot.

After several rounds of guns, the results were very satisfying, the iron balls released had a wide range of attacks, good penetration, and the barrel was not hot, just a normal heat.

The same is true, the steel cannon experiment is also very good, there is no explosion, hot phenomenon, and dozens of cannons have been fired, and no squibs have occurred.

"Very good, clean up the battlefield, go back and celebrate, this place will be handed over to General Duan, I and Young Eunuch Li will go back to study it and see if there is any improvement." Feng Daiwen nodded with satisfaction and said to Duan Zhixuan.
