Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 245

Just let these two old guys fight like this.

Everyone looked at the excitement in a tacit understanding, and their eyes were full of gloating.

Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, all of them are indeed old bastards.

Seeing Yu Chigong punching Cheng Yaojin and staggering, Cheng Yaojin raising his leg was a kick, Su Cheng couldn't help secretly praising, good, good fight!

However, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin quickly stopped because the artillery was finally pulled over.

Everyone stared blankly at this unprecedented weapon. Is this big iron bump a so-called cannon?

Even Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin stopped, looking curiously at the strange weapon in front of them.

Cheng Yaojin also didn't care about fighting with Yu Chigong, and stepped forward to observe the cannon curiously.

"Is this the cannon you mentioned?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Su Cheng stepped forward and explained: "Fill the cannonball here, then ignite it, and shoot the cannonball out from the barrel. Simply put, that's it."

Cheng Yaojin slapped Su Cheng on the back of the head, and said with a weird face: "I'll let you not learn well at such a young age!"

Su Cheng looked confused, why didn't I learn well at such a young age?

"Look at these two big wheels, look at this gun barrel, this shape, and this principle, tell me honestly, where did you get your inspiration from?" Cheng Yaojin laughed strangely.

Yu Chigong burst into laughter, many officials couldn't help laughing, even Li Jing, who was always solemn, had a strange look on his face.

Li Shimin looked at the cannon full of inquiry, no matter how you look at it, it looks familiar!

Damn, a bunch of old squids!

Su Cheng said righteously: "This is a magic weapon!"

Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Well, what a magic weapon!"

Li Shimin coughed dryly: "Then what, let's try the power first!"

Su Cheng nodded to the craftsmen, and the craftsmen began to adjust the angle for loading.

Everyone watched all this with great interest, with faint smiles on their faces.

"Report to the county magistrate, the loading is complete!"

Su Cheng glanced at Li Shimin, who nodded slightly.

"Fire!" Su Cheng ordered decisively, and at the same time raised his hands to cover his ears.

boom!

There was a loud bang of a cannon.

As if there was silence all around, Su Cheng put down his hands leisurely, while Li Shimin and the others were already in a daze.

I was stunned!

Also stunned!

"Fuck!"

"Shooting so far!"

"Too fierce!"

"too strong!"

"This is a heavenly artifact!"

Li Shimin looked at the wooden pile in the distance with a telescope, and found that a large piece of the wooden pile had fallen down.

"Su Cheng, Su Cheng, hurry up! Another shot!" Li Shimin shouted excitedly.

Su Cheng signaled the craftsmen to start loading the shells again, and soon the roar of the artillery sounded again.

With the first experience, everyone can see more clearly this time.

"No wonder Su Cheng admires it so much, it really is a magic weapon!" Li Jing couldn't help admiring.

Li Ji also nodded and said: "No wonder Su Cheng doesn't like bombs, this thing is much more powerful than bombs!"

At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at the cannon have changed. They are no longer weird and playful eyes, but full of fiery eyes.

What about weird shapes?

This is a real magical weapon!

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "With this magical weapon, why worry about the world's unrest? Why worry about the disobedience of all nations coming to court?"

"Your Majesty congratulates you on obtaining this magic weapon!" Changsun Wuji and others said excitedly.

Everyone was very excited, only Su Cheng was very indifferent. Although the artillery was built, it was estimated to be at the level of the mid-Ming Dynasty. Although it could play a certain role in the war, it could not achieve a decisive role.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty could not stop the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, so Su Cheng was still calm. The research of firearms has a long way to go. After all, he is not a weapon expert. He can only provide a general direction for the craftsmen, and they have to conquer Various difficulties are not so easy.

Li Shimin turned his head and said, "Why are you kidding me all this time? If I hadn't asked you, I wouldn't have known that you had created such a magic weapon!"

How can this be considered a magical weapon?It's still far from the magic weapon in Su Cheng's heart!

Su Cheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, although the artillery has been built, it is far from reaching the standard of the minister. It is still in the stage of experimentation and is still being improved."

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help looking at each other. They had witnessed the power of the artillery just now, and they were very excited about it, but Su Cheng felt dissatisfied?

They couldn't help but think of what Su Cheng said on the road. Isn't Su Cheng being modest?

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "I see that this cannon is very powerful, has it not met your expectations?"

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Not far!"

Far from it!Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, such a powerful cannon is far from what Su Cheng expected?

How powerful is Su Cheng's expected artillery?

Li Shimin was also shocked, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Su Cheng, how powerful are you expecting the artillery to be?"

Su Cheng pondered: "Not only cannons, but also muskets. When they really reach maturity, it is when the cavalry withdraws from the stage of history!"

Cavalry withdrew from the stage of history?

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. The cavalry is the most powerful arm in the world, how could it be possible to withdraw from the stage of history?

Su Cheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "This kind of artillery can be used to attack or defend the city, but it is difficult to use it in field battles, because it is too heavy and difficult to transport."

Everyone couldn't help nodding when they heard this. Almost all the people present were experts in the use of soldiers, so they could see the disadvantages of artillery at a glance.

But they still think that artillery is a magic weapon, because the Central Plains is not good at cavalry. The biggest threat to the Central Plains is the nomads on the grasslands, and what they are best at is cavalry.

For thousands of years, the Central Plains has been on the defensive most of the time, and can only passively defend against the intrusion of nomads, and artillery will play a huge role.

Su Cheng continued: "So, if you reduce its weight, you can run by pulling it with a horse."

hiss!

Li Jing and the others couldn't help but gasped, their eyes became extremely bright, if they could use horses to pull this thing into the battlefield, then this thing would be of great use!

For a while, Li Jing and the others had various formation drills in their minds, as if they were practicing how to use artillery in field battles.

Seeing all the changes in the crowd, Su Cheng continued: "Improving the artillery is to start from two aspects, one is to reduce the weight, and the other is to increase the power. The current artillery makes me uncomfortable no matter what aspect I look at. Very satisfied."
