The sound of deafening, the strong smell of gunpowder came into the nose. In the distance of the base, the hills piled up with gravel exploded, dust filled the sky, and the gravel was like rain. It was like an earthquake, and the entire base was trembling.

The gunner quickly filled the shells, flew out one by one, and exploded in the distance.

The soldiers in the tunnel turned left and turned, and quickly rushed forward, setting up long spears, like engineers, pulling up barbed wire, laying traps, and even throwing simple grenades according to the needs of the exercise.

The power of twenty cannons is really extraordinary, especially when concentrated bombardment is bombarded in a place.

The smoke and dust soar into the sky, rolling like a wave, and the explosion alone has an absolute impact.

Zhu Xu stood there, and the effective killing distance was more than 3,000 meters. If there were hundreds of gates on the city gate, it would definitely be a weapon to defend the city!

As for the engineers running back and forth in the tunnel below and setting up defense lines, Zhu Xu was also very satisfied, and it would be of great use in the future!

In his heart, Zhu Xu's eyes also turned to the young man who was commanding. He stood in front of the cannon, standing upright like a pine tree, without any fear, yelling from time to time, slashing the long sword on the left and swinging it, which was very aggressive.

Each cannon fired ten shots and stopped with the rumbling sound in the distance. The young man turned around, ran to the watchtower, and knelt on one knee: "Report to the emperor, the exercise is over!"

Zhu Xu stretched out his head and looked at him, and smiled and said, "This person is good, where did you find it?"

Cao Bianjiao also nodded secretly. This person could not see anything, but his arrangement today was orderly advance and retreat, and he should be from a rank of a corps.

Xu Guangqi bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this person was borrowed from the Ministry of War. He is an old general of Minister Sun. I heard that he led the way among the bandits and captured many bandit villages and mountains. He was very brave and named Cai Xiao, who was from Sichuan."

Zhu Xu said oh, smiled and stretched out his head, and said loudly: "Flat, do well, and give you a hundred taels of silver!"

Cai Xiao knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "Thank you, the emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred soldiers behind him also knelt on one knee and shouted: "Thank you, Master!"

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction and said to Xu Guangqi and the others, "It's a talent, it's a waste to put it here."

Xu Guangqi knew what Zhu Xu meant, and smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Sun said, I just borrowed it for a while, and I will have to go back soon."

Zhu Xu nodded and looked up. There was still dust in the distance, with gunpowder smelling very much and in a good mood. He said, "Well, they are all very good, but the power of gunpowder is not enough. We need to study the more powerful gunpowder!"

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he said, "Yes, I have this intention. I will gather people as soon as possible and devote myself to research."

Zhu Xu said, "The bird gun is not good enough. You need to fire continuously, at least change the ammunition quickly, have a long range, and are easy to carry."

This is the direction Bi Maokang specializes in. He said, "Yes, I am constantly experimenting and will have results as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's a good thing to have a sense of urgency, but don't hurry, follow it step by step, and some things cannot be accomplished overnight."

The king said this, but the minister really cannot do this.

Bi Maokang said a few more words as if he was assured.

Zhu Xu was very satisfied. With these, he was more confident in stabilizing Liaodong. He looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "Now, how many cannons can be built in a month?"

Xu Guangqi knew Zhu Xu's intention, and the palace urged him not once or twice. After considering it, he said, "If the six ministries and local governments fully support him, in one month, now, ten gates are OK."

"Ten Gates?" Zhu Xu thought about it. There were only more than two hundred gates a year. Not to mention the whole country, even fortresses everywhere, not two hundred gates are enough.
