Subsequently, Wu Sangui told the soldier the operation method according to Lu Yuan's instructions just now.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately started to tinker with this novel cannon.

After a few minutes of fumbling, the soldier nodded and said he could give it a try.

Subsequently, Wu Sangui asked the soldiers to lead a few seriously wounded horses, tie them to a mile or two away, and let the artillery be a target.

The artilleryman and a few people shifted the direction of the heavy artillery, aimed the muzzle of the cannon over there, and then slowly aimed it for a while, and after Wu Sangui was a little impatient, he finally loaded the shell into the cannon, and then brought a torch.

"General Wu, get ready!"

The artilleryman also said a little nervously.

"Ignition!"

Wu Sangui was already a little impatient, and when he heard this, he immediately ordered.

Although he regarded Lu Yuan as an immortal in his heart, he was not very confident in this novel cannon, so he wanted to see the actual effect and power.

Hearing Wu Sangui's order, the artilleryman took a deep breath, moved the torch behind the cannon, and lit the fuse on the shell with a blazing flame.

Hiss...

As soon as the lead came into contact with the blazing flame, it was immediately ignited with passion and burned fiercely, and as the lead became shorter and shorter, everyone's mood became more and more tense.

Soon, only the last bit of the fuse was burned, and everyone's emotional breathing was about to stop.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a tremor in Xiongguan, and then a huge noise sounded on the city wall, and this sound exploded in the ears like spring thunder, making Wu Sangui and the others deafening.

Looking at the black smoke in front of them, Wu Sangui and the others had shocked expressions on their faces, and then they seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked towards the place where the shell landed, only to see that the place where the shell landed was blown out of a big pit, and the pit was full of black burned gunpowder.

However, everyone saw that the horses, which were badly wounded, were not hit, although they were greatly frightened.

Seeing this, everyone looked at the artilleryman.

Feeling everyone's strange eyes, the artillerymen were also a little embarrassed.

But Wu Sangui didn't blame him, after all, it was the first shot, and it was inevitable that he would be a little rusty, just a few more shots.

Subsequently, another shot was fired, and this shot still missed, but it was a great improvement from the previous one.

After the third shot was fired, everyone found that although the cannon did not hit the bull's-eye, the power of the cannonball had already affected the horses, and when they saw the scene there, everyone showed expressions of shock and surprise on their faces.

Wu Sangui's tense body also relaxed all of a sudden.

Then he looked at this heavy cannon with fiery eyes, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.

He fantasized in his heart that if there were a few such heavy cannons standing on the city wall, then when the Qing army was pressing, a few rounds of artillery fire would go down, ensuring that the Qing army would cry and cry for his mother.

"Daxian, is there only one heavy artillery?"

Wu Sangui asked with some expectation.

"Ten in total!"

Lu Yuan said lightly, he bought ten heavy cannons at one time in the purchasing mall, which was enough for Wu Sangui to defeat the Qing army.

Hearing this number, Wu Sangui suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, if he had ten heavy artillery, he was confident that he would be able to hold Shanhaiguan.

"Is that all you have to do? Haven't you thought about counterattacking the Qing army?"

Lu Yuan saw the joy on Wu Sangui's face, and couldn't help but say a word.

"Counterattack the Qing army?"

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Qing army was strong and wild, while the soldiers of the Ming army were demoralized because they had not been paid, and their equipment was inferior to the other side in all aspects.

What's more, the Manchu cavalry was powerful, and his Guanning iron cavalry was not an opponent, and the counterattack against the Qing army was simply living in a dream.

"Don't worry, since this immortal has this kind of heavy artillery, there are naturally other weapons, which are enough for you to counterattack the Qing army!"

Lu Yuan said lightly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui was shocked, and then his heart was full of surprise and incredible.

"Do you know the musket?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"You know, we have arquebuses too, but they're mostly used as burning sticks. ”

Wu Sangui nodded and said casually.

They have already used the musket, when they use it, they also have to use fire to ignite the fuse, and then the lead ignition gunpowder can be fired, the steps are cumbersome and troublesome, not to mention, if it is windy and rainy weather, the arquebus is useless at all, just like a burning stick.

Especially in the face of the Qing army's swift cavalry, the arquebus has no effect, and before you can shoot, they have already reaped your life with a blade.

So after hearing what Lu Yuan said that the weapon was a musket, a hint of surprise just rose in his heart, and he immediately disappeared again.

"Ben Xian is not talking about arquebuses, but more advanced muskets. ”

Lu Yuan didn't care about Wu Sangui's tone, and then, he asked Wu Sangui to go to the house, and then took a flintlock pistol out.

Unlike arquebuses, flintlock guns require ignition to fire, are very dependent on environmental factors, and have a cumbersome process, while flintlock pistols rely on a firing pin striking the flint, creating sparks, which ignite the gunpowder.

In this way, not only is it not afraid of wind and rain, but it is also convenient and fast, and it is stronger than the arquebus, I don't know how many grades.

Looking at the flintlock pistol in his hand and hearing Lu Yuan's introduction, Wu Sangui's eyes also lit up.

Immediately, he called for a soldier who was proficient in muskets and asked him to try the flintlock pistol.

According to Wu Sangui's instructions, the soldier loaded the gunpowder step by step, then raised the gun, aimed at a reference, and pulled the trigger.

"Smack!"

There was a snap, and the flintlock pistol emitted a cloud of black smoke, and then a fiery red projectile flew out of the muzzle and hit a spot next to the reference.

A few more shots followed, and finally the reference was hit in the shocked gaze of everyone.

Especially the soldier who fired the gun, the shock in his heart was incomparable.

He used to be a musketeer, and when he used an arquebus, it took a while to charge first and then ignite, and the range accuracy was not satisfactory.

And because the craftsmen who made the arquebus cut corners, some arquebuses failed after a few uses, and some even exploded when they were shot, and the enemy did not hit them, but wounded themselves.

So when he was asked to test the gun at first, his heart refused.

But after a few shots, his inner feelings were completely different.

This gun not only reloads the charge quickly, but also fires quickly, the accuracy and range are very good, and the most important thing is that he fired several shots in a row, and there was no explosion, which made him greatly relieved.
