"General, after having this magic cannon, what are we afraid of Xiang Yu, this city gate will blow it up in minutes." Liu Bang originally heard the Supreme Treasure say that this weapon against Xiang Yu was extremely powerful, but he didn't expect that the power could be so great, it completely exceeded his expectations, and he said to the Supreme Treasure excitedly.

Supreme Treasure smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Although this artillery is extremely powerful, the most prominent advantage is the firing range, for heavy artillery, the firing range is an important part of measuring its performance. But now it seems that the maximum range of our homemade iron fire gun is no more than three miles, and it is at risk of exploding. And my goal is that this three-thousand-pound divine machine cannon can easily hit seven or eight miles away. ”

"Isn't it? Uncle, I think three miles of land is already very powerful, and you still said that you want seven or eight miles, how far is that! Can this cannon really reach such a long distance? Li Da next to him was also surprised to hear the Supreme Treasure say this, in their eyes, the cannon invented by the Supreme Treasure was already a god, and what kind of existence was the kind of cannon in his mouth.

In fact, the Supreme Treasure has not yet told you that according to historical records, this kind of red-clothed cannon in ancient times could reach as far as ten miles! Ten miles is equivalent to more than five kilometers in modern times, which is quite far, and there have been doubts about this data, but the performance of the same type of artillery in the West proves that this data is accurate (at that time, Western European countries already had the concept of territorial waters, and the territorial waters at that time were determined by the range of coastal artillery, and the territorial waters at the end of the sixteenth century were three nautical miles, about 5.5 kilometers, but this is the longest range, not the effective range For heavy artillery, range is an important part of measuring its performance, even today. )

"In fact, there are different types of cannons, and some of them have a range so far that you can't even think of it. It's still far from what we can do now, but it's the strongest weapon against cavalry. Supreme Treasure explained.

The soldiers of the Eagle Army heard that this cannon was the most powerful weapon against the cavalry, and they all looked timid. The Supreme Treasure was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, Mongolian brothers, I just want to say that this artillery is indeed very effective against cavalry. But our Flying Tiger Army in Southern Chu, Mongolia and Western Xia are now all allied forces. My artillery will never be aimed at my brothers, it will always be aimed at foreign enemies, so you don't need to panic. But then again, everything always has to be improved, and for the Mongol cavalry, I will also make reasonable improvements to the Heavenly Khan. ”

The soldiers of the Mengying Army were relieved when they heard the Supreme Treasure say this, after all, the Supreme Treasure was the honorary military advisor appointed by the Heavenly Khan, and his status was already equivalent to that of the Earth Khan, and these soldiers of the Mengying Army were now fighting with the Supreme Treasure as the general, of course, they didn't dare to go against him.

"General, we absolutely obey what you do, and we absolutely believe what you say." The captain of the spearhead of the Eagle Army replied.

Supreme Treasure nodded in appreciation, "Very good, only if everyone has no suspicion can we accomplish the great task of fighting against the Khitan together, and only then can we drive Xiang Yu's disciples out of Southern Chu." ”

"Good, good!" The cries of the soldiers were heard again in the valley. With this divine cannon of the Supreme Treasure, everyone's confidence has suddenly increased a lot, and they will also have more motivation for attacking Huaiyue City tomorrow.

The next day, the Huaiyue County Commander was really not sure whether Liu Bang was really willing to surrender to Cheng and hand over the saltpeter and sulfur on Huaiyue Mountain casually, so he took almost all the garrisons in Huaiyue City to protect himself, leaving only a city without soldiers guarding.

"Lord Yan, you are finally here, Liu Bang has been waiting for you here for a long time. I'm in a hurry to surrender to our Xichu Overlord! Liu Bang saw Huaiyue County Ling Yan Li come to his big village and said with a "flattering" smile, and a hand behind his back was already gesturing with his subordinates to inform the Supreme Treasure that they could start acting.

Yan Li looked around and saw the empty Dazhai and couldn't help but be surprised: "Liu Laosan, although your Dazhai is located in a remote mountainous area, but I have heard that you are also richly decorated here, with everything, why do you come here today to see that it looks like you have moved, and there is nothing?" ”

Liu Bang rolled his eyes and replied subtly: "Isn't it, originally this place is indeed decorated as the adults said, but isn't this that we are going to follow you back to Huaiyue City?" : I've already told someone to pack all the soft stuff and hit the road, and I should have been in town yesterday. ”

"You kid is really anxious, we haven't talked about anything yet, how do you know that I will definitely agree to let you surrender to our Western Chu Overlord." Seeing Liu Bang in such a hurry, Yan Li did not have any doubts about him, but began to put up a score.

"My lord, don't scare the little ones, the little cowards can't help but scare you. I really figured it out this time, before we cooperated with the county to divide the accounts, do more and earn less, it is better for us to dedicate all this saltpeter and sulfur to the adults, we can enjoy the blessings under the protection of the overlord! This time whatever you say is whatever you say, and I will listen to you. Liu Bang showed great "sincerity" to join the camp of the overlord of Western Chu, and confused Yan County's order.

Yan Xianling laughed, stroked his goatee and said arrogantly: "I told you a long time ago that all the mountains will be handed over to the people of our government to take care of, but you don't want to do it yourself, you have to help these poor people, and now you have figured out that you want to enjoy the happiness and don't take them with you?" If you want to join us, you can also do it, but you also know that the war has been tight recently, and the overlord is attacking Henan, although it is full of combat power, but people are iron and steel, and they are hungry and panicked, and this military food still has to be supplied. The amount of our Huaiyue allocated is not small! Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Liu Bang.

How could Liu Bang not know that this Yan Li wanted to take the opportunity to knock on his door, he smiled in his heart, anyway, what he said now is a lie, I will deliberately tease you, an old man, to delay more time, so that the general and they can successfully occupy Huaiyue City.

Liu Bang pulled Yan County's sleeve and said "sincerely": "My lord, why didn't you say this earlier, you have to prepare food and military salaries in advance, and there is not much left in our village, but I have a few ideas to help adults solve this problem." ”

"Oh? What's the solution? Yan Xianling suddenly became interested.

Liu Bang pretended that this matter was very confidential, and said to him in a low voice: "There are many people here, my lord, let's find a place to drink some wine and eat some food and discuss slowly, what do you think, my lord?" ”
