Wang Yuan slowly put down the teacup, got up, looked at Yi Xiang Yele coldly, and said, "Great Prime Minister, we admit that the terrain of Luoqi City is indeed difficult to overcome, but you don't think that it is impregnable. Prime Minister, I'm not afraid of being known to you about our details, come on, I'll take you to take a look at the good things in my army. ā
Yixiang Yele frowned and said, "What good things?" ā
Wang Yuan walked up to him and smiled: "You know when you see it, seeing is believing, it's useless for me to say it." ā
Yi Xiang Ye Le was full of suspicion, followed Wang Yuan and the others out of the big tent and came to the avenue leading to the rear of the camp. After walking to the land of Lixu, I came to the rear army camp of the Tang military camp. But I saw that the grain and grass in the barracks were hoarded like a mountain, and piles of materials were neatly piled up in the open space, and the top was tightly covered with felt.
As Wang Yuan walked, he was like a few treasures, and lifted these felts to reveal the armor, blades, materials and other things below for Yixiang Ye Le to see. Yi Xiang Yele sneered on his face: "You don't have to show off, is this the good thing you want to show me?" I don't need to look at it, I know that you have enough food and grass and materials. But when winter comes, your supplies will not be able to keep up, let alone war, and I am afraid that you will not be able to survive the severe cold here. ā
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I'm not showing off, since the prime minister is a guest, I just do my best to introduce the prime minister to the prime minister." What really makes the prime minister look at these things. ā
Wang Yuan pointed to a row of carts in the dark corner, turned back to a guard, and said, "Qin Chuan, go and light a torch to illuminate the big picture." But be careful, don't blow us up and blow us up. ā
That pro-guard Qin Chuan was transferred to the pro-guard camp by Wang Yuan not long ago. A few days ago, before the war, Wang Yuan chatted with this Qin Chuan when he inspected the military camp, and felt that this Qin Chuan was a person who could be promoted, so he promised that if Qin Chuan could survive that battle, he would be transferred to the personal guard camp. After the war, Wang Yuan fulfilled his promise.
Qin Chuan agreed, lit the torch and walked to the side of the row of carts. Wang Yuan gently lifted the felt cloth covering it, and more than a dozen large wooden boxes full of boards on the cart were revealed. Wang Yuan casually pointed at a wooden box, and the two guards stepped forward to lift down the large wooden box and pried open the lid under the light of the torch.
Yi Xiang Yele looked over, but saw that the box was full of unkempt straw, and he couldn't see the things inside, so he didn't feel a little puzzled. Wang Yuan took matters into his own hands, stretched out his hand to pick up the straw, and exposed dozens of round and swarthy things in the box.
"The Great Prime Minister. This is called a thunderbolt, I believe that the prime minister has already seen its power with his own eyes during the day, and see, this box is thirty-eight. I have 20 cars here, 10 boxes per car, how many coins do you count? Wang Yuan asked with a smile holding the round and heavy thunderbolt.
"Seven thousand six hundred." Qin Chuan replied.
Wang Yuan smiled: "It's so calculating, blurted out." Yes, exactly 7,600 thunderbolts. By the way, I would like to inform the Prime Minister that the number of missiles we launched into the city of Pibo this afternoon is only 1,400. ā
Yi Xiang Ye Le's eyes stared at the black ball, and his heart was pounding, during the day, the Tang army blew up the eastern city of Pibo City, but only used 1,400 of these thunderbolts. If all the more than 7,000 pieces here were put into the city, the eastern city of the horse would be in a charred ruins. Not to mention the walls of the houses, even the ground has to be blown down three feet. It's scary to think about it.
But Yi Xiang Yele couldn't reveal his fearful thoughts, and said stubbornly: "It turns out that Wang Dashuai wants me to show off this thing, I admit that this thing is very powerful, but I just said that Pibo City is a big deal to give it to you." The range of your thunderbolt is only about 500 paces, hundreds of steps across the Jiqu River, and the city of Raksha is located on a plateau and mountains, and your thunderbolt is beyond the reach of dust. If you want to capture some cities, I am afraid that you can only exchange hundreds of thousands of lives for them. ā
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "The prime minister is very shrewd, and it is true that the range of this thunderbolt is not enough to pose a threat to Luo Some City. Naturally, we have noticed this as well. But there is a solution to everything, and since we know what is wrong, we naturally have to find a way to make up for it. Unfortunately, we've figured out a way, and the range of the Divine Cannon has been improved, and what I really want you to see is that thing. ā
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at a behemoth standing tall next to the camp, and under the light of several torches, a tall divine cannon stood quietly. The high mast reaches into the starry sky, and the top is barely visible in the night, like a giant standing in front of it.
Wang Yuan said with a low voice: "Prepare to test shoot a shot to open the eyes of the prime minister." ā
Dozens of artillery battalion soldiers ran out of the darkness, and began to fix the ground with quick movements, stirring the winch to pull down the axle, and then jamming the machine spring, loading ammunition, and doing it in one go.
Wang Yuan smiled and looked at Yi Xiangye Le, who was full of astonishment, and said, "Prime Minister, come with me to the lookout, you can see farther and clearer." ā
Yixiang Ye Le Muran followed Wang Yuan to the observation platform in the camp, and stood a few feet high, which was comparable to the line of sight of the pillar of the divine cannon. Wang Yuan waved his hand and ordered: "It's ready to launch." ā
A big man picked up the mallet and smashed off the wooden latch, but when he heard a sound, the boulder in front of him fell to the ground with a bang, and the ground trembled slightly. The long throwing arm suddenly lifted into the air, ejecting the thunderbolt from the throwing basket. The thunderbolt flew out in an instant, and soon disappeared into the dark sky.
"Look in that direction, look closely." Wang Yuan reminded.
Yi Xiang Ye Le stared at the dark distance with wide eyes, and everyone stared at the dark place with their eyes open, waiting for the thunderbolt to fall and explode.
One breath ...... Two Interest...... Three-interest ...... After five breaths, seven or eight breaths, there was no movement in the dark distance, Yi Xiang Yele felt a little strange, and the waiting time was too long.
Wang Yuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and whispered beside him: "The range is very long, let the thunderbolt fly for a while." ā
The words fell, but in the wilderness east of the camp, like a thunderclap, a red light rose into the sky, and under the light of the explosion fire, you could see the mud and sand splashing, and a mushroom-like cloud rising to the ground. After the explosion, the surroundings fell silent, and only the fire around the ground of the explosion could be seen from a distance, apparently igniting the vegetation on the ground.
Yi Xiang Yele was shocked, what surprised him was not the power of this explosion, although this power seemed to be a lot bigger, but it was so far away, in fact, the shock was not great. He was surprised by the range. The distance between the site of the explosion and the watchtower was roughly estimated to be nearly eight or nine hundred meters. Such a distance is simply appalling. In other words, the Tang army could even drop this kind of thunderbolt on the head of the city of Luo Qi across the Jiqu River. And once they broke through the Jiqu River and successfully crossed the river, they would be able to throw their thunderbolts within a distance of 200 paces within the city of Luoqi, even if they fired upwards at the city on the hillside. It's just horrible.
The city is protected by strong walls on the high plateau and mountains, and has the wide and turbulent Jiqu River as a natural barrier. And after the Tang army has this thing, it can completely ignore these barriers and bombard the head of some cities across the river, which is the most unacceptable.
Moreover, once the Jiqu River was breached, all the defenses of the city were useless. Even if the Tang army did not attack the city, it would only throw these thunderbolts into the city, and the entire city would fall into a total panic. Once the city wall is destroyed by them, it will be easy to attack the city again, and these 70,000 soldiers may not be able to take it, but if there are more 50,000 or 60,000 cities, it will definitely not be protected. In a short period of time, it is absolutely feasible for the Tang army to increase its troops by 50,000 or 60,000.
Wang Yuan looked at Yixiang Yele's face with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, you didn't come in vain, I let you see the power of my improved Shenwei cannon, do you still think that your Luo Some Cities are solid?" Indeed, I don't have a large number of these super cannons now, and it may take a month or two to make a dozen or twenty more, because it is really difficult to make them. But what we have is time, and we will be there before winter arrives. Just take advantage of this time, I will transfer thousands of thunderbolts from Datang to get together one or two thousand, and give them to your Zampu as a gift when the time comes, what do you think? ā
Yi Xiangye's body trembled, and he shook his head again and again, but he couldn't speak.
Wang Yuan shouted: "It's not too early, if the prime minister wants to leave, hurry up, and I will send someone to escort you to the city." Come and send the prime minister out of the camp. ā
Zhao Qing Tan Ping promised loudly below, Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled Yixiang Yele's sleeve and said, "Prime Minister, let's go?" ā
Yi Xiang Yele's hand quietly grasped the wooden fence of the watchtower and did not let go, and his head shook like a rattle and said, "What's the hurry?" Why not talk a little more? It's only two watches, and it's still early. Besides, I'm still a little thirsty, and I want to go to your big tent again and ask for a cup of butter tea. You won't even be allowed to drink tea, you Datang is a state of self-proclaimed etiquette, and you won't know how to be hospitable. ā
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "The prime minister is interesting, you can drink tea casually, but you can't talk casually, otherwise you won't have anything to talk about." Please, Prime Minister, the butter tea is cold. ā
