Chapter 35: Shock

Boom –

A loud sound like thunder suddenly echoed on the mountains of Cangyun Village.

As a result, the whole village, as well as the female weavers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and new guards in the workshop, walked out with a look of fear on their faces, and looked at the source of the sound in unison.

I saw that in the open space a hundred meters away, a thick smoke like a black cloud was slowly rising.

And under the thick smoke, there were two standing figures.

"This ...... What the hell is this? Brother Li, what did you come up with, this momentum...... It's scary! ”

Looking at the big crater that was blown out in front of me.

Yang Hong's words were incoherent, and his scalp was completely numb with fright.

If he had been a step slower just now, he would have been blown up on the spot.

"I named it the Heaven-Shaking Thunder!"

Li Xingchen circled around the big pit and couldn't help frowning.

Apparently, he was not satisfied with the power of the first crockpot explosives.

After all, more than three catties of black powder were used, but only a pit with a diameter of about one meter wide was blown up.

You must know that in a previous life, a grenade could blow up a crater with a diameter of at least three meters wide.

However, if the crockpot explosives were thrown into the cavalry, it would definitely cause the horses to panic.

"Heaven-shattering thunder? Sure enough, the sound is like thunder! ”

Yang Hongran nodded, and said with palpitations.

"Master Yang, don't come with me this time, I'll try another sky-shaking thunder."

Li Xingchen confessed.

A large crockpot of explosives was then lifted, a pit was dug and buried in the sand, and the fuse was ignited.

It didn't take a while.

Another loud thunderous bang began to echo.

Its momentum is several times greater than that of the first crockpot explosive.

"Oh my God!"

Yang Hong was directly so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and said with a frightened face: "Li ...... Brother Li, you are leading the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder down to the mortal world! ”

"As soon as the bomb goes off, everything is going off!"

Li Xingchen said with a smile: "Master Yang, times have changed!" ”

With that, he stepped forward, circled around the crater, and began to record the explosion data.

This time the explosion was indeed much more powerful, and the crater was two and a half meters in diameter.

After keeping the data in mind, Li Xingchen also wanted to test another crockpot bomb.

However, at this time, Xiong Tonghai ran over with a new crossbow and a crossbow arrow in his hand, and he ran over with an excited face.

"Childe, the new crossbow is ready!"

"Old Xiong is really resolute, and he has created a new crossbow in just a few hours!"

Li Xingchen took the new crossbow and took a closer look, and couldn't help but praise: "And the appearance is exquisite, the craftsmanship is excellent, this new crossbow can be called the top grade!" ”

"Childe praised falsely, you are the real vigorous and resolute, the two thunderous sounds of the right talent, the last general heard it!"

Xiong Tonghai looked at the two big pits on the ground and the smoke in the air that had not yet dispersed, and his face was full of shock.

Li Xingchen said with a smile: "Old Xiong, as the commander of the First Army, you don't have to make a fuss when you see any new weapons in the future." ”

After saying that, he put the crossbow arrows into the arrow box, and then aimed at a poplar tree a hundred paces away, and pulled the suspension knife (trigger)!

Whoosh –

I could only hear the sound of breaking wind, and the crossbow arrows suddenly cut out phantoms, all of which hit the poplars accurately.

"It's a repeating crossbow...... This turned out to be a repeating crossbow! ”

Look at this scene.

Yang Hong was messy again, almost shocked to the point of no return.

Originally, in his vision, the reform of armaments was at most a recruitment of troops and the training of new soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Li Xingchen's armament reform first began to innovate in weapons and equipment.

This sense of visual impact completely subverted his perception of Great Wei's weapons.

The two earth-shattering thunderbolts just now were amazing, but they were extremely powerful.

If you bury it in the enemy's path, the explosion will definitely make the enemy confused!

And the continuous crossbow made Yang Hong's jaw drop even more.

You must know that the Wei crossbow is still single-shot, and its range is only eighty steps.

After each shot of the arrows, the soldiers had to retire and reload the arrows.

Now that the repeating crossbow has come out, it can completely crush the Wei crossbow.

If a thousand-person crossbow team is all equipped with repeating crossbows, its combat effectiveness may be stronger than that of the Great Wei 10,000-person crossbow team.

"Master Yang, this is just an appetizer for my armament reform, are you scared like this?"

Li Xingchen stepped forward to help Yang Hong up and teased: "If I get out the artillery with a range of more than two miles, won't you be so scared that you pee your pants on the spot?!" ”

"Artillery with a range of more than two miles?"

The corners of Yang Hong's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that his IQ was pressed the ground and rubbed.

You must know that war has been king since ancient times, and range is king.

Whoever has a long enough range will have a better chance of winning.

You didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and other people's weapons began to kill your army, how can you fight?!

Yang Hong has read military books since he was a child, so he naturally understands this truth.

If someone told him that he could make a weapon with a range of more than two miles, he would definitely slap someone in the face.

But Li Xingchen, a demon, said such a thing, but he didn't dare to question it.

After all, the shocking power of the sky-shaking thunder and the repeating crossbow on him was too great, so big that he seemed to think that Li Xingchen was omnipotent!

Come to think of it.

Yang Hong suddenly bowed with admiration.

"Brother Li's talent has surpassed that of the ancient grandson Wu, and it is really the greatest blessing for me Yang Hong to meet you in this life, please accept my worship."

"Master Yang doesn't have to be like this, if it weren't for your help, I, Li Hun, would only be afraid that I wouldn't be able to settle down in Pingcheng!"

Li Xingchen hurriedly helped Yang Hong up, and said with a solemn expression: "Now that you and I are in the same boat, we should build Pingcheng into an unbreakable fortress even in the face of a million army besieged!" ”

"Brother Li is right, our top priority is to strengthen the armament of Pingcheng!"

Yang Hong calmed down his excitement and finally remembered the purpose of this trip: "I almost forgot, my father asked me to invite you to Pingcheng to preside over the military affairs of the military reform!" ”

Li Xingchen smiled knowingly and said, "So, the fake news spread by Ling Zun has worked?" ”

Yang Hong shook his head and said: "It's strange to say this, after we agreed on the plan that night, my father was ready to send someone to spread the news that the Gao Mountain Bandits were about to go down the mountain to plunder, but I didn't think that someone used this to spread rumors in Pingcheng in advance, and insisted every day: Tomorrow the Gao Mountain Bandits will come to Pingcheng, after these few days of fermentation, now Pingcheng is already panicked!" ”

Li Xingchen said with a smile: "Hehe, no matter who spreads false news, no matter what his purpose is, as long as he can promote the reform of armaments, this is a good thing!" ”

"Brother Li is right!"

Yang Hong thought so deeply and continued: "Let's go, Brother Li, let's go to the Pingcheng County Mansion immediately, presumably my father and they are also in a hurry." ”

"Good!"

Li Xingchen handed over the repeating crossbow and gunpowder formula to Gao Bo for safekeeping.

took Xiong Tonghai and went to Pingcheng with Yang Hong.
