Chapter 1286 Is this the true power of artillery?
Chapter 1286
"Can this thing throw stones?" The exclamation came from a fat man weighing at least 200 kilograms. Well... he is a nephew of the Cao family, the general Cao Shi. I really don't know what his name is.
"...Your Majesty, please look at that direction." Wang Yang really didn't have time to pay attention to the stupid questions of these guys, so he directly brought a telescope and handed it to the emperor, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the area in front of the cannon.
The soldiers around him brought a lot of telescopes, and soon almost everyone was in hand and subconsciously looked towards Wang Yang's finger.
"There are soldiers over there, hey, why are there a lot of sheep, chickens, and even cows tied to wooden stakes? What's going on with Lord Wang?" Wang Hou looked curiously and asked a question that everyone present wanted to ask.
"It seems that there are still people who are fully armed and wearing armor?"
"Those are living creatures prepared to test the cannons. Those armors are worn on dummies. Lord Wang, how far do you think it can be from here to there?" Wang Yang explained and asked Wang Hou.
"I'm afraid there must be a mile or two from here to there?" Wang Hou estimated and came to a conclusion.
"Yes, from the cannon position to the position where cattle and sheep are tied up, there are a total of two miles. In a while, the cannon will attack the living creatures two miles away from here." Wang Yang said.
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and their eyes fell on Wang Yang.
And the emperor Zhao Xu, who had learned from Wang Yang's previous test of artillery, had never seen it with his own eyes, threw the telescope in his hand to Ma Shang beside him.
"Your family, instead of continuing to ask, let's take a good look at whether the new weapon developed by Wangwushan is really as powerful as he said. Wang Qing, I hope you don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to your high expectations. Everyone, since you have seen the appearance of this weapon, please move into this bunker. After a while, you will understand its attack effect."
A closed thatched house was built dozens of meters away from this cannon position. A large iron stove had already been lit inside, so that people who were rushing to the road would not have to stand in the cold wind and tremble.
After the emperor stepped into the thatched hut, he noticed that the height and chest position in front of the thatched hut was completely unblocked, allowing people to see everything that was far away clearly.
With Wang Yang's greeting, the soldiers who had been practicing in advance for nearly a month immediately began to move quickly. They first transported the ammunition placed aside to the cannon, then began to clean the cannon chamber, then started to load the medicine, and then started to load the ammunition.
After about eighteen breaths, the reload was completed, and the small yellow flag in his hand began to wave. After a short while, the soldiers who were originally staying in the artillery test area rushed to the bunker that had been built for them early, and then responded with the green flag.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, please try the cannon." A spirited soldier quickly came to the thatched hut and reported loudly to the emperor.
"I'm sure." Emperor Zhao Xu took a deep breath, nodded heavily and shouted.
"Everyone, please stuff this thing into your ears later to avoid being hurt by the roar of artillery. Mr. Wang is really not kidding you, please listen." Wang Yang quickly asked someone to bring a cotton ball and distribute it to everyone's hands.
Seeing Wang Yang saying so seriously, even the young people who were not afraid of the world could not help but feel a little nervous. After thinking about it, he decided to stuff this thing into his ears.
As the red flag waved, everyone felt instantly, as if there was a thunder that changed the color of the sky and the earth sounded in their ears, and even the snow foam on the stone in front of them flew up.
The playboys who looked disapproving were so scared that they almost urinated, and the fat Cao family, who was as strong as a pig, sat down on the ground.
The emperor was also shivering by the roar of the cannon fire, but he quickly reacted and looked forward, which was the test cannon site.
He didn't let him wait too long, soon, a light flashed over there, and then the rolling smoke rolled in the air. In a few blinks, it seemed as if a thunder roared.
"Ma Shang, go and take the horse, I'll go over and see it myself." Emperor Zhao Xu could no longer bear it and walked quickly outside the thatched hut, shouting sternly.
The crowd looked shocked at this moment, and unconsciously followed the emperor's footsteps and left the thatched house. After a break from the cold wind outside the house, they were shocked, as if they had woken up.
The group rode their horses wildly, not two miles away, but the fast horse had to run for dozens of breaths. Then, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
The living creatures I saw in the telescope before, now, there is a living cow, which is still twitching now, but there is a blood hole on its body, and its bright red blood is constantly emitting.
Many of the standing wooden stakes had been cut off by the fragments of the shells, but the wooden stakes as thick as bowls of the cow were still standing, but there were still several deep marks that were cut on them.
The corpses of various living creatures lodged all over the ground have proved how powerful this long-range firearm is.
At the sign of Wang Yang, the soldiers who had already run out of the bunker and stood on standby carried the two dummies wearing Yuanyou iron armor and ordinary iron armor over and put them on the ground.
After Wang Yang jumped off the horse's back, he walked up to him and patted one of the dummies that were originally extremely strong but were now in the position of his breastplate, and were deeply embedded in a shrapnel.
"Such excellent iron armor can't stop it..." The emperor took a deep breath, turned his head and looked towards the artillery position. Two miles away, although the six artillery can still be seen, it has become very far away.
Di Yong turned over and jumped off the horse, walked closer, and watched the soldiers lifted the transformed breastplate and revealed the things inside.
It was a large piece of pork ribs with skin. At this moment, after lifting the breastplate, the shrapnel embedded in the pork were finally pulled out of the pork with a pair of tongs.
And the bloody shell fragment, at least passed through the iron armor and then became fleshy. Seeing this, Di Yong, with gray hair, couldn't help but take a breath. "Is this the power of the cannon?..."
