Chapter 1210 Shenwei Artillery

Amid the discussion between the First Emperor and a group of onlookers, the young man who was responsible for viewing the target quickly sent back simple data in flags and the shells hit the edge of the target.

After two test data, the boy in charge of the third cannon quickly fine-tuned the direction and elevation angle of the barrel, and the third test began.

And this time, both the First Emperor, the officials and the Imperial Guards all looked much calmer. Many people deliberately took off the ball of yarn in their ears and felt the sound of the Taiyi God Cannon, feeling this special stimulation.

"Boom~" Half a minute later, the third gun was fired, and the observed flag words were quickly sent back. The shell almost hit the center of the target. Through the telescope, you can also clearly see a second big hole on the wall, and the smoke and dust rising into the air was more than ten feet high.

The test gun test position was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which blew away in the wind in the sun.

A group of gunners cleaned the cannon chamber and loaded the bullet for the second time after cooling down. This time, they had to carry out an uninterrupted three-air gun continuous firing, allowing the First Emperor to see the power of this dense artillery fire.

Ten minutes later, the three cannons were loaded again. Under Chen Yong's command, the three cannons were ignited in five seconds apart.

Soon three cannons roared one after another, accompanied by deafening sounds and the strong smoke ejected, three shells hit the palace two miles away one after another. Among the observations of thousands of eyes and hundreds of monocular telescopes, the abandoned palace, which had only a small half, could no longer withstand this inhumane destruction and blow. With less than two minutes of a crunching sound of broken wood, it collapsed, and the dust soared into the air dozens of feet high.

The scenes of thunder and smoke flying into the sky that continued to thunder like thunder in the clear sky also caused domestic animals and wild animals within a radius of dozens of miles to flee from all directions. The people nearby were all frightened and did not know what had happened.

The continuous shooting effect this time was very domineering, and the collapse of the palace also greatly set off the atmosphere, making the First Emperor and Meng Yi and other kings, princes and ministers, all holding the telescopes and unable to put them down for a long time.

Three cannons collapsed a palace, and this power can only be described as divine thunder.

The powerful weapon used by Daqin to siege is catapult chariots and hard crossbows with more than three stones. Not to mention the attack distance is less than half, and the power is not even in Chengdu. The stones of the catapult can only be shot and fall from the sky. Relying on weight to attack the city head, it has no effect on dealing with the thick city wall. It is mainly used to destroy the defense facilities at the city head and suppress the crossbow soldiers on the city wall. Under the suppression of the catapult and the hard crossbow, the army broke through to the city bottom and then siege the city ladder and hit the city gate. This is the main method of siege battle at present.

But if there is such a divine thunder cannon that can shoot almost straight, besides tall and solid cities like Xianyang and Luoyang, ordinary city walls may not be able to withstand such continuous attacks at all. Not only will the city wall be destroyed soon, but the morale of the army will also be destroyed by this terrifying thunder.

"The Taiyi God Cannon is indeed too powerful. With such powerful power, it is like taking a picture of the world's city!" Wei Liao, the head of the Ministry of War, muttered to himself as he looked at the dispersed smoke and dust with a dull expression.

"The Wei Army said it well. The Taiyi God Cannon is really worthy of being a magic weapon for immortals. If I, Daqin, had this powerful weapon to attack the city, it would be easier to collect the six kingdoms!" Qin Shihuang put down his telescope and looked at the smoke and dust rising from the sky in the distance and nodded in a deep mood.

"What Your Majesty said is that if this immortal magic weapon had been released twenty years ago, Zhao Qi, Yan, Chu, Han and Wei would be vulnerable!" Meng Yi, who had not spoken, could not help but agree.

Emperor Qin Shi and a group of officials and imperial guards were all shocked by the saturation attacks that had been fired in three consecutive times. When they were discussing and sighing, Chen Yong had already commanded the three cannons to change direction and adjust the muzzle, aiming at the wooden wall two hundred feet away.

"Your Majesty, everyone, I will demonstrate the effect of attacking enemy ships on the sea next. Please stuff your ears!" Chen Xu reminded with a smile.

"If you are two hundred feet away, you may not be able to reach the sea except for the six-stone crossbow. The stone walls of the palace just two miles away can be destroyed. This wooden wall is not worth mentioning!" An official nodded and said.

"Haha, I said that's the case, but I still want to see the real power. The broken ship at such a close distance is very shocking..."

Qin Shihuang smiled and handed the telescope to the Xuanwu Guard next to him, and then blocked his ears with a ball of yarn. Some other timid officials also began to block his ears. Of course, some princes, princes, and ministers who like to be excited were disdainful to block their ears. They all began to urge Chen Xu to start quickly.

Ten minutes later, all the three adjusted cannons were loaded with ammunition. Chen Yong reported again and raised the order flag and quickly issued an order to fire the cannon.

"Boom boom boom boom~~~"

This time it was a close-range shooting, and in order to show the destructive power of the sea saturated bombardment, Chen Xu designed three cannons to fire at the same time, so the leads of the three cannons were lit at the same time, and almost sounded at the same time. With the splashing flames and smoke, the ground trembled slightly, and the shells that were out of the cavity could not be seen clearly. Almost at the same time as the sound of the cannon sounded, a wooden wall made of logs exploded like tofu dumplings.

"Boom~"

With the impact of three shells at the same time, the tall and thick wooden wall was directly smashed into pieces. The wooden slags and debris in the sky splashed around like hail. With the sound of puffing, the wooden wall collapsed like a pile of rotten wood.

"Wow~~" Thousands of imperial guards and civil and military officials were all in an uproar, and screams of exclamations continued to sound.

This time, I saw it more clearly from the close distance. This wooden wall that could hardly be shaken by human power was completely vulnerable to the Taiyi God Cannon and turned into a pile of residue. If this was a wooden boat, everyone could imagine the final outcome.

In the face of such great power, everyone's mind was blank and they could not find a word to describe their feelings.

However, Chen Xu would not tell these land ducks living on land that fighting on the sea, under the bumpy waves and complex environment, such three-barrel volleys were actually very effective. Three shells may not hit a single shot, but he would not say such words.

"Your Majesty, the test of the cannon is completed today. Please give this cannon name so that it will be passed around the world in the future!" After the young man from the musket team cleared the three cannons and retreated, Chen Xu bowed to Qin Shihuang and said.

Qin Shihuang again strode to the three cannons, and carefully stroked them with his hands for a long time and said, "The sound is like thunder, the momentum is like thunder, the thunder and the light of the sky is coming, and when it is fired, there is the power of the tiger roaring and dragon roaring. If this divine thunder cannon was twenty years earlier, why would I have to die hundreds of thousands of children in the Qin Dynasty... Since I cannot use the name of Taiyi, I will give it the name of the divine cannon. What do you think?"

"This name is majestic and domineering, I think it's excellent!"

Feng Quji and Meng Yi and other groups of princes and princes started the collective flattery mode without any moral integrity, of course, including Chen Xu, a flattery spirit.

"Haha, that's good. From then on, the name of Shenwei will be used, and the drawings will be handed over to the Shaofu Order. The manufacturing technology is absolutely confidential and strictly prohibited from being spread. Every cannon produced and manufactured must be strictly registered. Meng Qing is responsible for review. If any person loses the leak for no reason, he will be punished for treason. Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

Qin Shihuang was happy and promoted the cannon to the highest level of defense in Qin, allowing Meng Yi and Zhao Wei to control the drawings and production supervision of the cannon, and cut off any chance of inquiries.

"I will obey the order!" A group of officials and princes and princes bowed and saluted with solemn expressions.

The emperor was worried about anyone with such powerful magic weapon.

After the arrangement, Qin Shihuang was about to return to the palace, but was stopped by Chen Xu and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is here today, and it is just the time when spring is in full bloom. I have prepared some fun games for Your Majesty and your colleagues!"

"Oh, my dear, please tell me what other fun games are there?" Qin Shihuang was obviously reluctant to return to the deserted palace like this, and quickly held Chen Xu's hand and said with a smile.

"I have said that this Taiyi God Cannon was born from Taiyi God Thunder and has the same effect as Taiyi God Musket. The power of the cannon Your Majesty and your colleagues have seen it, but because its power is too powerful and complicated to operate, I can only watch it. Today, I also bring some Taiyi God Muskets. Your Majesty and you can personally experience the feeling of shooting with Taiyi God Musket!"

"Wow, that's true!"

Not only was Qin Shihuang trembling with excitement, little stars appeared in his eyes, but the kings and princes around him were also violently commotion. Many people even jumped up excitedly, asking Chen Xu to quickly take out the Taiyi God Musket to see.

"Don't worry, the Taiyi God Musket is ready, but please wait a moment, wait for me to arrange someone to demonstrate the target and shooting method..." Chen Xu quickly bowed around to comfort these excited earthbucks.

"Don't talk nonsense, just take out the Taiyi God Musket!" Meng Yi grabbed Chen Xu's arm and blew his beard and stared at him.

"Meng Qing is right, the young master should take out the divine musket and let me and my dear friends watch it first!"

The emperor was also excited and had some cat paws. Although he was the Emperor of Qin and had everything in the world in name, Chen Xu's hands made him jealous and a little afraid. He never dared to ask for it. Even though he knew that Chen Xu used Taiyi divine thunder to open mountains and explode stones and even gave it to Li Shun and others in the mission to save their lives on the way, Chen Xu did not take the initiative to ask for it for him to watch it, so he kept holding it back. After all, this is related to the immortals. The so-called secrets cannot be revealed. Rampantly asking for it may bring disasters that Chen Xu and even the Qin and even himself could not face.

Chen Xu also captured the admiration and fear of ghosts and gods of this era, and used the skin of an immortal disciple to be so scattered like a fish in water.
