Chapter 435: Iron Tube

In the anxious waiting of the Wei State ~ the army and the people, it finally arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, only to hear a drum outside the city, and everyone who was waiting for drowsiness, was shocked, thinking, the show is finally coming, I don't know how good this show is in Shu.

Officials who are far away from the city walls and are greedy for life and fear death can't see what's going on outside the city, but it doesn't matter, they have a mouthpiece. There were special soldiers on the city wall who were responsible for watching the situation outside the city, and then they rushed down the city wall and ran here to report to these officials. There were a lot of these soldiers, and they ran in cycles, and about every three or five minutes, a soldier came to report to ensure that these officials could be the first to know the situation outside the city.

"Report ...... The enemy army began to assemble. ”

"Report ...... The enemy began to come out of camp and towards the west gate. ”

"Report ...... The enemy stopped four or five hundred paces away from the west gate. ”

"Report ...... The enemy did not know what to do at a distance of five hundred paces. ”

"Bastard! I don't know what to do, so tell me what you see. ”

The news came one by one, and the officials and senior generals who were paying attention to the news outside the city became more and more nervous, and suddenly they heard such an unknown news, they couldn't help but be furious, and several officials immediately ordered the herald to explain the matter clearly.

"This ...... Big, adults, we really don't know what they're arranging ~ for, they put out a lot of rows of iron cylinders there, and some of us think those things are very similar to those fire~ cannons on the city wall, but they are a little bit different. ”

"What's not like that?" An anxious official asked.

"Those iron cylinders are very short, and the caliber is also very small, not at all as big as our fire~cannons, if they are really fire~cannons, then the power of the small fire~cannons is estimated to be not great.

In addition, there was a general who did not know that there was a clairvoyant eye of the Shu army, and according to his observation with clairvoyance, the walls of those iron cylinders were very thin. My lord, you also know that our fire~ cannon wall is very thick, and even so, it is still easy to explode. The walls of the enemy's iron barrels are so thick, if it is a fire ~ artillery, it will definitely explode. ”

Telescopes are now very common in the Hong Army, and they are almost the standard equipment of officers at all levels, and some civilian institutions in Shu Han can also get some telescopes to use. After all, the telescope is not a firearm, and its role in the war is not so great, although Shu Han also has certain control measures for it, but it does not implement strict secrecy measures like firearms.

Therefore, after meeting the military needs of the Shu army, the telescope inevitably flowed out to the people. This Wei general didn't know what method he used, but he actually let him get a pair of binoculars. However, the Shu Wei War was nearing its end, and even if he obtained this kind of auxiliary artifact on the battlefield, it would be useless.

"Alas, at this time, when you come to the front, what else will it be if it is not a fire ~ artillery! I don't know why God is so partial, why he favors them so much, Shu Han has continued to appear all kinds of unbelievable things over the years, each of which has never been heard of or seen before.

There are many things that we don't even dare to think about, and even exist only in myths. I wonder if Shu Han has come up with a new type of fire ~ cannon that can be small and thin this time. An official lamented.

"Yuan Zhe, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. Those things in Shu Han are all strange ~ obscene skills that can't be put on the stage, what big things can be achieved by relying on these side things? If we want to govern the country and secure the country, we still have to rely on our Confucian disciples. ”

Another official couldn't help but immediately retort when he heard the official named Yuan Zhe say such a frustrating remark. However, this Confucian disciple seems to have a bad brain in reading, and he has not been able to recognize the situation clearly. Didn't Shu Han rely on the strange ~ obscene skills in his mouth that couldn't be put on the table, and pushed Wei Guo to a desperate situation step by step, and at the same time beat Wu Guo to the point that he couldn't raise his head?

He was embarrassed to say that these things couldn't be a big deal, wasn't it a big deal to unify the world and make the Han Dynasty, which was almost destroyed, strong again? I really don't know what the big thing is in this official's mind, is it the unification of the world?

Of course, Yuan Zhe couldn't agree with the opinion of this nerd~ official, he also put forward his own opinion and debated with him: "What are the hot air balloons called those things that can fly into the sky in Shu Kingdom, have you heard of them before?" Isn't that something that only exists in mythology? ”

"Strange ~ how good is the skill, their carpenter's grandfather once made a wooden magpie, which is said to be able to carry people to the sky. It must have been one of them who got the bamboo slips handed down by the public transport class, and made this kind of thing according to the cat and the tiger.

Look at how clumsy and ugly the hot air balloon they made is, the wooden magpie made by their grandfather will definitely not be so ugly, but the things they imitate are so ugly, you can see how bad their skills are."

Listening to the two of them talking non-stop, the herald on the side finally couldn't help it, and he said loudly: "Two, two adults, the villain hasn't finished talking yet, in fact, there is another reason that makes us conclude that these iron cylinders can't be fire~ artillery." ”

"Is it reasonable that you speak half like this? If you have something to say, what kind of system will you become. The official who refuted Yuan Zhe reprimanded the herald.

"Yes, sir. That's right, the number of iron cylinders that the enemy has placed in front of the formation is extremely large, and there are many rows, and roughly estimated, at least more than two hundred. My lord, you think, there are not 100 fire~ cannons made by my Wei State with the strength of the country, how can the Shu army have 200 fire~ cannons placed here. ”

It is said that the Shu army has arranged a lot of artillery ~ artillery outside the Tiger Prison Pass on the Eastern Front, and the rumbling of the artillery is endless every day, if they have two hundred fire ~ cannons here, plus the fire ~ artillery outside the Tiger Prison Pass, how many fire ~ cannons does Shu Han have in total?

It's unlikely, does Shu Han have so much copper to cast cannons? Or did they take all the copper coins of the whole country and cast their cannons? This is obviously impossible, so our general concluded from this alone that these iron barrels could not be fire~artillery! If the Shu army really has more than 200 fire~ cannons placed outside the city, how scary it would be. ”

This soldier obviously has a certain understanding of fire~artillery, but unfortunately, his understanding of fire~artillery is limited to the copper cannons of Wei, and he knows little about the firearms of the Shu army, which is also the general level of understanding of Wei.

Listening to the words of the herald, the official who refuted Yuan Zhe criticized Yuan Zhe even more, he pointed out that Yuan Zhe was really making a fuss and worrying about the sky, and now even the generals on the front line have concluded that those things cannot be fire ~ artillery, is he Yuan Zhe more aware of fire ~ artillery than an expert general?

And Yuan Zhe listened to the words of the military order, but his heart sank to the bottom, and he is now almost certain that this is the new fire ~ cannon of the Shu army! Wei can't produce so many guns ~ cannons, it doesn't mean that Shu can't produce it, over the years, what Shu has made can only be described as miracles, and miracles have occurred repeatedly.

ps. In the past two days, I went to the provincial capital with my classmates to play, and I will start a business trip for three days tomorrow, and I can only use a few words on my mobile phone code on the way, so the update is a little unstable these days, please forgive me.
