Chapter 223: Ready to run at any time
Nearly noon, in the foothills.
The garrison of 20,000 Shen Ce Army.
A group of soldiers surrounded a large object covered with red cloth placed in the middle, and talked a lot.
"I heard that this object is more powerful than the sky-summit thunder and firearms tried in front of the Yuanri Palace!"
"No... it's impossible. If it's even more powerful than the sky thunder, then... we won't be able to deal with all the surrounding countries soon!"
"Our Majesty is specialized in creating miracles. There are still many things you don't know!"
...
The object looks very strange. At the bottom is a seat frame and two wheels like a large flat car are installed. Next to the wheels are iron claws cast by fine iron, and above it is a hollow iron tube about seven feet long.
There were several large boxes next to this object, and the one guarding these boxes was the most mysterious beacon camp soldiers among the Great Zhou soldiers.
At this moment, Yang Hong was standing not far away, looking at the direction of Xichengfu, with a slightly excited expression.
This object is called the squat tiger cannon, and its name was named by Zhao Yan himself, and it is extremely powerful.
Yang Hong once saw that under the experiment at that time, a mountain top was blown into a flat ground in an instant under three hundred meters.
This object is an absolute weapon to attack cities.
If it is used to deal with the rebels in Xichengfu, Yang Hong feels that it is a bit useless.
At this moment, Zhao Yan brought Heiwa to him.
Yang Hong and others were about to salute, but Zhao Yan waved his hand and signaled that they would give up the gift directly outside.
A young man wearing black armor and a ray of flames on his chest bowed to Zhao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I am Zhang Xuan, the deputy captain of the Fenghuo Camp. Today, I have brought a special squat tiger cannon and 60 special shells. Please check it out."
Zhao Yan pulled away the red cloth from the squatting tiger cannon and said with satisfaction: "How many steps does this squatting tiger cannon have about the range?"
"About 500 steps, the last test has a range of 525 steps!" Zhang Xuan replied.
Zhao Yan nodded slightly. Although he was still a little worse than his ideal state, according to the current conditions, it would be good to do this step.
"Why try one?" Zhao Yan said.
Hearing this, Yang Hong instantly walked to the front.
"I think so too."
If the squatted tiger cannon is widely used in the army, even the worst generals can win battles, and any soldier is looking forward to having such a weapon.
The feeling that made the enemy completely desperate was what they had always dreamed of.
"Zhang Xuan, prepare!" Zhao Yan ordered.
Immediately, Zhang Xuan ordered someone to set up a cannon.
Yang Hong ordered people to check the range of the shell landing, and no one was allowed to exist within this range.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yan, Yang Hong, Zhang Xuan, Heiwa, and several soldiers from the Fenghuo Camp appeared on a hillside.
The squatting tiger cannon is ten meters ahead of them, and the iron claws of the cannon stand have all entered the ground to ensure the stability of the cannon stand.
"Recharge!"
"aim!"
"Five hundred steps ahead, that mountain wall!"
Zhang Xuan said loudly, after the soldiers finished these processes, he picked up a fire lead and shouted: "Start!"
Then, the fuse on the squat tiger cannon was lit.
Zilala! Zilalala!
Bang!
Only a loud noise could be heard, and a black shell rushed out.
When the shell was fifty meters away from the mountain wall, it suddenly exploded.
boom!
This sound was like thunder, and the surrounding land began to tremble.
Some soldiers covered their ears instantly, while others were so scared that they sat on the ground.
The stones on the mountain wall flew down like a major earthquake.
Yang Hong asked with a puzzled look, "This...can this... still explode in mid-air?"
Zhao Yan smiled faintly and said, "This is a shell that I specially made the characteristics of the beacon camp. The iron shell outside is thin and will explode when it encounters air friction. Other shells can only explode when they are violently impacted."
Zhao Yan didn't say anything about it. He even asked someone to put a lot of salt powder in the shells. As for what he did, he didn't plan to say it yet.
"Then... Your Majesty doesn't really plan to use these shells to deal with Hongya Army. It's a waste. I will lead 3,000 people and it will take less than half a day to occupy Xicheng Mansion!" Yang Hong said with his chest straight.
Although the Hongya Army now claims to have 30,000 people, most of them have no weapons. If they really fight, these people have no combat capabilities at all.
Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "I use these shells not to attack the scheming, but to attack God!"
"Beat God?" Yang Hong suddenly became even more confused.
Zhao Yan looked at the clear sky and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back to the tent. If you look forward to these shells, you must be farther from the camp. When the time is right, I will give you an order."
After saying that, Zhao Yan and Heiwa left the military camp and rushed towards Xicheng Mansion.
Yang Hong looked at Zhao Yan's back with a confused look on his face, finally gave him a thumbs up, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, you are really a god, no, you are a god!"
The next morning, the big arena in the center of Xichengfu was full of scholars, and the serious charlatan Feng Yizhenren.
Hong Chengan stood in the middle of the ring and whispered: "Brothers, around noon, the magistrate of Jinzhou Bai Lin is coming. Although he made an appointment to meet outside the city, he did not say many people. I suggest that we, a group of those who have read, will all go there. In addition to letting Feng Yizhenren divination, we will also show our abilities and convince Bai Lin. How about it?"
"No problem!" More than a hundred scholars gathered around him spoke at the same time.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at Hong Chengan's expression.
Although Hong Chengan gathered tens of thousands of Hongya troops, he had never seen any world and had no social skills. If he had to go to Zhizhou alone, he would still be a little cowardly, so he wanted to bring all the scholars over to cheer.
At noon, five thousand Hongyamen stood under the city gate, and more than one hundred scholars brought small stools to the open space about 500 meters away from the city gate.
The reason why I had to bring a small stool was that Hong Chengan felt that it would take him a long time to chat. He was too tired to stand and was not elegant enough to sit on the ground.
In front of everyone, a blanket was laid and a chair was placed as a place for Bai Lin to sit.
In everyone's eyes, Bai Lin, the governor of Jinzhou, was already considered a great official.
Zhao Yan and Heiwa also moved a small stool and sat at the end.
Bai Lin knew Zhao Yan because he didn't want to be discovered by the other party.
Heiwa was the last to sneak in because he wanted to protect Zhao Yan's safety, but the scholars around him did not notice Heiwa at this moment.
Some scholars were thinking about how to argue with Bai Lin for a while.
Feng Yizhenren was also a little nervous, especially after finding out that Heiwa was also in the crowd, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Chapter completed!
