Chapter 490: A Special Welcome Ceremony
Under the leadership of Li Jianye, the group came to the school field.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Li Jianye maintained the demeanor and etiquette that a state of etiquette should have, and invited everyone to take a seat.
Then he smiled slightly: "Welcome ceremony, start now." ”
As the order was given, a group of soldiers with humanoid targets quickly ran towards the open space more than 50 zhang away, inserted themselves on the ground under the gaze of everyone, and then quickly left.
The soldiers with the best marksmanship, who had been selected early from the musket battalion, raised their muskets, aimed at the target, and waited for Li Jianye's order.
Up to now, anyone can see that this is not a simple welcome ceremony at all, but a show of the muscles of the great cadres to these envoys of the Western world.
All the messengers' faces were a little unnatural.
At the same time, I was full of curiosity to see what was different about Benjamin's great musket.
Li Jianye smiled slightly and said to the envoys: "This is the first item of the welcome ceremony, musket shooting, please enjoy it." ”
After speaking, he gave a look to the guards beside him.
The guards understood, and immediately shouted: "Fire!" ”
Bang!
As the sound of the explosion sounded in unison, the Western envoys who saw the musket for the first time were startled, and their faces tensed, staring at the target in the distance.
It turned out that the soldiers who had placed the target ran quickly, carried the target to the bottom of the stand, lined up in a row, and went to the stage in an orderly manner to show the target to many messengers.
The noise and exclamation sounded instantly.
"Oh my God, this target is iron!"
"See, there's a hole in it!"
"It's terrible to be able to make a hole in the iron target at such a distance!"
"Oh God, if it hits people, it's over!"
"Bows and arrows can't compare with muskets!"
“……”
Only Lawrence looked at the target with a calm face.
But if you look closely, you will find that the corners of his eyes are constantly jumping, and there is a faint fear in his eyes.
Because he had already learned from Benjamin that the original Cardinal Adrian had been first electrocuted and then killed by muskets.
The power of the musket is far more terrifying than what you see now.
Li Jianye was very satisfied with everyone's performance, coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he smiled slightly and said, "Next, please enjoy the artillery shooting performance." ”
After a pause, he lifted his hand and pointed to a boulder marked with white powder about five or six miles away.
"See, that's the target of this artillery attack."
After speaking, he glanced at Jessica.
Jessica immediately translated, and when everyone learned that the cannon was about to be displayed, their expressions immediately became excited.
Benjamin in the Western world has more than once boasted about the power of artillery, and the sound is like thunder, and their ears are almost calloused.
Now, finally, there's a chance to see it for yourself.
But because of the distance, I can't see it very clearly.
At this moment, a group of people walked up with a clairvoyant mirror in their hands and handed one to each person, and Li Jianye asked Jessica to explain how to use it.
These top magnates in the Western world were full of praise for the clairvoyance, and carefully held it in their hands as if they were holding a rare treasure, and began to observe the target in the distance.
The artillery battalion's most accurate shooters had already been prepared, and with an order, only to hear the sound of an explosion of "boom", I saw a tongue of fire erupted from the artillery, and the stands seemed to tremble.
The huge movement frightened many of the members of the mission, whose faces were as pale as paper, and some even fell off their chairs in fright, staring at them and shouting oh Maiga.
At the same time, they also found that the boulder, marked with white powder, had been blown to pieces, leaving a large pit on the edge of the pit, and the weeds and shrubs on the edge of the pit actually burned.
"Oh my God! Is this artillery? It's horrible! ”
"If this blows up on a person, it won't be a shard?"
"Yes, in addition to blowing people, it is used to blow up the city wall and blow up the buildings, which is very good!"
"What kind of army can withstand such a terrible weapon?"
"God forbid, fortunately, our country is separated by a whole ocean from Daqian, otherwise we would definitely not dare to sleep at night!"
“……”
Lawrence remained calm on the surface.
But his slightly trembling hand clutching the handle of the chair showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
The power of the cannon frightened him, and he knew that if he shot down, a master like him would be wiped out, unless it was an existence like the Pope, the Cardinal, and the Grand Inquisition.
But it's such a terrible existence, and he still died in Daqian.
Li Jianye glanced at everyone lightly, and secretly said, "I haven't seen the world", and then set his eyes on the southwest.
Over there is the place where the Daqian Air Force is located.
He had already arranged for him to take off into the air with the sound of cannons.
At this moment, dozens of hot air balloons in the sky can already be seen taking off, flying towards them.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
Li Jianye coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention, and then raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
"Next, it's the Daqian Air Force show."
Jessica translated in time, and everyone looked up at the sky, and then they all stood up.
"Oh buy ga, there's really something flying in the sky!"
Immediately, they picked up the clairvoyant mirror to observe, and exclaimed one after another.
"I saw it, there really are people up there!"
"There are two soldiers in each big basket!"
"There's a flame burning up there, what the hell is going on?!"
"How does this thing fly?!"
“……”
Just as everyone exclaimed, the hot air balloon flew hundreds of feet in the air in front of the stands.
Seeing something falling from the sky, Li Jianye covered his ears in boredom.
Jessica knew what was going on and covered her ears as well.
Those envoys from the Western world didn't know why, and they looked at the hot air balloon in a daze, pointing and exclaiming.
The next moment.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ……
The deafening explosions sounded one after another, because of the close density, the envoys were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some people were even so frightened that they fell to the ground, and their mouths kept shouting Oh Mai Ka.
At this moment, Lawrence finally couldn't keep calm and stood up suddenly.
Because he saw that countless small craters had been blown out of the ground, and the gravel was dusty, and the power was amazing.
At such a height, even a master like him could not do anything about it, so he could only hide everywhere, not to mention those ordinary soldiers.
On the water, Daqian has steam-powered ironclad warships, which can run rampant.
On land, there were muskets and artillery in the big cadres, and they were invincible.
In the sky, there are hot air balloons.
The sea, land and air, the big cadres are all hegemons.
Every weapon is a terrible weapon of murder that the Western world does not have.
He quickly assessed that even if he gathered all the troops of the entire Western world, he would not be the opponent of Daqian, and he would die a miserable death.
Even if the Holy See army joined, it would not be able to stop the army of the Great Cadres.
