Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 494 Great Qin Bronze Cannon

The entire valley was quiet, and a group of civil and military officials looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears.

On Nuoda's testing ground, hundreds of dummy that were originally standing upright could not see their original appearance at all. There were fragments of various armors and various traces of being burned everywhere.

Even the fish scale armor, which is considered indestructible and made of wrought iron, has rows of iron plates inserted on it, and the face and other parts that are not protected by the armor are riddled with holes.

If it is in actual combat, these enemies are absolutely dead and cannot die anymore.

Who would have thought that such a small, inconspicuous iron bump would have such a great power.

Wang Ben and other generals, after being shocked, showed a trace of fanaticism in their eyes.

Once such a portable new firearm is combined with cavalry, how terrifying will it be?

"It's really amazing!"

"What are you talking about, why can't I hear you?"

"This momentum can really shock people to the point of deafness!"

The old general who pretended to be a hero spent a long time in silence before barely recovering his hearing, and everyone's faces were filled with shock.

With such a huge power, even if it didn't blow up, it would still be frightened.

"With this artifact, my Great Qin Cavalry will truly be invincible in the world!"

Wang Jian muttered to himself, trembling his beard.

"That's the power. It seems to be a little bit small. It is very effective against leather armor and can cause effective damage against iron armor. However, the biggest shortcoming of cavalry is that it seems to be insufficient for siege."

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment.

"It's already quite good. With this power, you can scare your opponent so that you don't dare to come out. It's just a matter of spending more time trapping your opponent!"

"One can't do it, just a hundred or a thousand. An ordinary city wall can't stop it at all."

"It's feasible, but if there are too many, will it be too heavy to be thrown out?"

"You're stupid, you have a giant crossbow and a catapult, use these to throw, hundreds of steps are no problem at all, okay?"

"It's still too close. The range of this firearm is too large. It would be great if it could be further away."

A group of generals began to discuss.

"Who said this firearm can't hit farther, can't collapse the city wall."

"What I just showed you is just the simplest firearm application."

"For more advanced firearms, although it is still difficult to mass-produce them at present, the Academy of Engineering has already researched them, and the experiments are still no problem."

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

After repeated failures in the research and development of gun steel technology, the Engineering Academy quickly shifted its target to copper, which is more malleable than steel, under the guidance of Ying Yu.

In today's Daqin, the output of copper is still beyond its means, but with the promotion of money tickets, it has improved a lot.

Moreover, Daqin craftsmen are already very familiar with bronze, so after replacing the material with bronze, they quickly trial-produced bronze cannons.

"How far can this large firearm go?

Looking at the bronze cannon launched by Gongshujie and others, Ying Zheng asked quickly.

"Father and all the adults, why don't you guess?"

Ying Yu laughed.

"His Royal Highness is so confident, it must be stronger than a catapult, I guess at least 250 feet!"

"Less, at least three hundred feet!"

"In my opinion, it will be stronger, but it can't exceed four hundred feet, right?"

"His Royal Highness, don't be a fool, tell me to wait?"

Everyone focused their attention on Ying Yu, even Ying Zheng was no exception.

"The distance that the adults said just now is less, and it is much less!"

Ying Yu waved his hand.

A group of people were stunned when they heard the words.

Four hundred feet is less?This is too exaggerated.

Three or four hundred feet, not at a high place, is already beyond the observation range of the human eye, and needs to be observed with the help of a telescope.

And His Royal Highness actually said that the range of this new firearm is far beyond this distance, which is really shocking.

After a long time, Ying Zheng was the first to come to his senses, took a deep breath and said, "Really?"

Ying Yu didn't reply, but waved his hand: "Gong Shujie, get ready to start the test firing of solid bullets!"

"My lords, remember to wear earplugs before firing."

Ying Yu smiled faintly.

A group of people hastened to do so.

After personally verifying the power of this firearm, they don't want to really become deaf.

For Ying Yu, she also completely admired him.

On the other side, Gong Shujie had already led Daqin's first batch of gunners and completed all the preparations.

The first is the distance measuring hand, using the thumb ranging method taught by Ying Yu, to start measuring the distance to the target.

"The distance is a thousand steps, and the elevation angle has been adjusted!"

"The medicine package is filled!"

"Ammunition hands in place!"

"fire!"

With the flag in Gongshujie's hand waving fiercely, the loader finished loading the quantitative launch package and shells in turn, and the main gunner also lit the ignition wire according to the scale.

"boom!"

After the fuse was burned, there was an earth-shattering loud noise. Even with earplug protection, the crowd was still buzzing.

Even tens of feet away, you can still clearly feel the earthquake caused by the artillery.

The number of steps in Daqin is a two-step system. Converted to later generations, it is just over 1.3 meters, and one thousand steps is about 700 meters.

For the shells, this distance is only a few seconds. Before Ying Zheng and the others came back to their senses, they saw the target position in the distance, completely covered by smoke.

Ying Zheng's face suddenly changed drastically, both excited and confused, and finally turned into shock.

After a long time, Ying Zheng sighed a long time and said, "With this magical weapon, I will have no worries about my Great Qin hegemony!"

"Father, don't you want to go over and see the power of the artillery in person?

Ying Yu pointed to the target area where the smoke had begun to dissipate, and smiled slightly.

"Yes, hurry up, drive faster!"

Only then did Ying Zheng react, he rushed out of the bunker, jumped on the steam car and headed towards the target.

Soon, all the civil and military officials also came to the target area that had been bombarded with holes, and gasped together.

In an area with a radius of tens of feet, not only the ground was completely cracked, but even a boulder was directly smashed to pieces!

"With this artifact, even if there are thousands of troops, in front of my Daqin, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs, and they can be destroyed at any time!"

"Such a boulder can be smashed directly, and a mere city wall is nothing to worry about!"

"No city can stop me, Great Qin Tianwei!"

Wang Jian and the others were shocked.

They are all veterans in the battlefield for many years, so they naturally understand the power of this artillery, which means that Daqin has entered a new era and will truly achieve invincibility in the world.

On Ying Zheng's face, there was an expression of incomparable pride, and even a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat.

Great Qin's unification of the world is a foregone conclusion, there is no obstacle!
