Chapter 185: This is called artillery

Although Chen Wanrong didn't say much, he outlined a new blueprint for the use of artillery. If he really wanted to use artillery as Chen Wanrong said, the power of artillery will be fully utilized and the role of artillery will be suddenly improved. This prospect is so tempting. Ge Shuhan and the others kept rubbing their hands, their eyes were spitting fire, and they wanted to try it right away.

"When the artillery arrives, we will gather the artillery together to attack, and you will know what the difference is." Chen Wanrong said with a smile at the end.

The effects of two hundred cannons and thirty-five cannons must be different, so there is no doubt about this. However, it is necessary to witness it with your own eyes. Everyone was extremely excited and nodded violently.

Not long after, the artillery was transported. Looking at the neatly arranged artillery, Chen Wanrong was in a good mood: "Take it, let's go and fight."

As soon as the order was passed, the artillery soldiers were very excited and pulled the cannons to the open space of the schoolyard. Under the command of Geshuhan, two hundred cannons lined up, occupying a part of the boss.

In the past, when thirty-five cannons were put out, it looked a bit lonely. Now, when 200 cannons were put out, the formation alone was very different. It was much larger and exciting. Liu Fuqing and the old artillery soldiers who had been on the battlefield felt their blood boiling again.

"Precisely ahead! Get ready! Let it go!" Ge Shuhan waved the flag in his hand, and two hundred cannons were exerted together. Suddenly, a huge net of fire intertwined lights appeared in the sky, and he was heading forward.

Everyone had seen the scene of shells flying across the sky for many times, but it was not so shocking. Looking at the shells dragging the tail flames across the sky, everyone was both excited and a little surprised.

"Not good!" Suddenly, Chen Wanrong shouted.

Just as Chen Wanrong was crying, Ge Shuhan's mouth opened wide, his eyes were straight, and he looked ahead tightly.

It turned out that the current artillery range was farther than before. Chen Wanrong and the others didn't know this and arranged it according to the previous range. When this round of shells fell, it just covered a section of the wall in the schoolyard. How could Chen Wanrong not be anxious?

No matter how anxious he was, no one could do anything, so he could only watch the shells land on the wall, and fireballs flashed, making loud noises one after another.

Liu Fuqing and the others had heard the explosion of the shells for countless times, so they were so familiar that they could not be familiar with them. However, with so many shells exploding together, the momentum was far beyond the reach of thirty-five cannons. They could be called the earth shaking, and the sky and the earth were shaking, making people's ears buzzing, and they could not hear the sound for a long time.

Such power was beyond everyone's expectations, including Chen Wanrong, everyone looked at each other, look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, only the shock on the other person's face.

After a while, everyone recovered, breathed a sigh of relief and cheered in unison.

Chen Wanrong said most concerned: "Go and see if the wall has been blown up!" He flew over blue and white and galloped away. Geshuhan and Liu Fuqing came from behind.

When I came to the wall, I saw one pit after another on the ground. There were many cracks on the originally intact wall now, and some places had collapsed. Roughly estimated that there were no less than dozens of shells falling on the wall. Although the wall was firmly built, it still could not withstand the bombing of artillery, which was really exciting.

Geshuhan first shouted: "Such power! It seems to be more powerful than the previous artillery!"

Chen Wanrong used the most powerful military gunpowder formula. After this period of production, military weapon monitoring has a more method to manufacture artillery. The purity of saltpeter is higher, the three main ingredients are mixed more evenly, and the particles are finer, which will inevitably make the artillery more powerful.

"If the artillery we transported to Tubo was so powerful, the Tubo people would not know how many deaths would be!" Liu Fuqing sighed: "If I had known this, I would have fought later!"

"You think there are not enough people killed?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

The Tang army fought against Tubo this time, and nearly 300,000 Tubo's army suffered heavy casualties, leaving only 300,000 or 20,000 people. This was a joke, and Liu Fuqing and the others couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the sound of raindrops sounded, and Ge Fushun rushed over in a panic, and he scolded Chen Wanrong as soon as he met: "General Chen, what's your name? The mountains and earth are shaking! Ah! You, you, actually blow up my wall?" He was so angry that he even stuttered.

It would be fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, something happened immediately. With a rumbling sound, the originally shaky wall collapsed suddenly. Looking at the misty scene, Chen Wanrong spread his hands: "General Ge, look, it would be better if you didn't speak. As soon as you spoke, the wall collapsed! You shouldn't have come!"

This is joking. In the ears of Ge Fushun, who was already full of anger, it was like using a knife to cut his heart. His face turned pale and pointed at Chen Wanrong for a long time.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "General Ge, I will tell you a good news. Our artillery is now more powerful. First, the range is longer, and second, the power of the explosion is greater. General Ge, you don't believe it, right? Well, you can witness it with your own eyes!"

Ge Fushun is anxious and angry now, but he really hopes to see how powerful this cannon is. He knew the artillery in the past, but it was not as powerful as the artillery in the present. He heard the sound of the earth shaking from afar, which made people feel thrilled. If he didn't see it, he really felt sorry for himself.

However, because Ge Fushun was unhappy because he picked up the three thousand dragon martial soldiers for Geshuhan, he couldn't say this, so he could only make a fortune in a quiet voice.

Chen Wanrong understood his thoughts, laughed in his heart, grabbed Ge Fushun and said with a smile: "General Ge, go, let's go and take a look!"

This gave Ge Fushun a step. Ge Fushun's resentment disappeared a lot, but on the surface he looked reluctant and followed Chen Wanrong half-spoken. His face was still ugly, but his eyes were no longer so sharp when he looked at Chen Wanrong.

Back at the artillery, Geshuhan ordered to re-adjust the seat so that the range could not reach the wall, and then the cannon began to fire.

Looking at the shells flying through the sky, Ge Fushun's eyes widened, and the copper bell was just like this. Until the fireball flashed, another earth-shaking explosion sounded, and the wind and clouds were lost, as if the earth was trembling.

After swallowing a few saliva, Ge Fushun then came back to his senses: "General Chen, why is this cannon much more powerful? In the past, it seemed that it could not hit so far?"

Of course, the more you do it, the better it is. This is called practice making perfect! Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "General Ge, you know that military weapons are hiding dragons and burly tigers. Everything is better and better. Isn't Modao the more you use it? Of course, the same should be true for artillery!"

"That's it, that's it!" Ge Fushun jumped off the horse, stroked the smooth cannon body with his right hand, and his eyes became stronger and stronger. He raised his head suddenly: "General Chen, you have so many cannons, can you leave some for me?"

"For you, where are you using it?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

The Longwu Army was responsible for the order in Chang'an, and there were very few opportunities to go to the battlefield. No matter how good the things were given to them, they would have no place to use them. This was Ge Fushun's soreness, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

After a long time, Ge Fushun then squeezed out: "If such a good thing cannot be obtained, it will make people feel itchy!"

When he looked at Ge Fushun, he saw that he was quite tempted and was unhappy that he had already left him. Chen Wanrong joked: "General Ge, you don't have to get a good thing. If you have this intention, if you see a beautiful girl, don't you also want to get it into bed?"

Ge Fushun punched Chen Wanrong on the shoulder and said unhappily: "General Chen, why do you speak like this? Am I that bad? Don't talk about those irrelevant nonsense, fire the cannon and hit it!"

He was displeased on the surface, but he really liked it in his heart. The displeasure arises from the selection of artillery soldiers was gone. Chen Wanrong met his request and ordered the artillery soldiers to fire, and several rounds of artillery fired out.

After the fight was finished, Ge Fushun checked it out and was satisfied: "This cannon is such a good thing. It's a pity that I don't have the life to do. Come and find some plasterers to repair the wall!"

He was happy and no longer blamed Chen Wanrong, and he found someone to repair the wall. Chen Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "General Xie Ge."

Ge Fushun happily slapped Chen Wanrong on the shoulder: "General Chen, I'm relieved to follow you, brothers! They will definitely make achievements with you, and that's also our Longwu Army's contribution!"

The power of artillery is so great that the artillery will not be able to escape in the war next year, so the three thousand dragon martial arts army selected today will also make contributions. At that time, Ge Fushun can say that "the artillery is from our Dragon Martial Army." The pride is hard to describe, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth at all.

Ge Shuhan saw it and thought of his unhappiness, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Those newly joined artillery soldiers were very excited after seeing the power of artillery. Now, if they sum it up, they will understand it more deeply. Chen Wanrong was about to order them to share their experiences, but a team of people rushed over. The first one was no one else, but Duan Hui.

After him was Ruizong's imperial chariot.

Why is Ruizong coming? Chen Wanrong was confused in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him. As soon as Ruizong appeared on the imperial substitute, he ignored the person who took over the horse and asked Chen Wanrong directly: "Wanrong, are you fired the fire? The mountains and earth were shaking! I couldn't handle official business anymore!"

Although it was a complaint, his face was full of smiles, as if the beggar had picked up the ingot.

Chen Wanrong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am teaching the newly joined brothers to use artillery, which is a concern for the sages of the sages, and I am guilty of my sins!"

The Longwu Military Academy is about ten miles away from Chang'an, but the noise of the two hundred artillery fire was too big, and it was normal to alarm Ruizong.

Ruizong waved his hand and said, "I am not blaming you. I heard that you are very disturbing, so I rushed over and take a look. By the way, I will also reward the artillery soldiers who have worked hard and made great contributions!"

The artillery fights Tubo for the first time, and has made the best contributions to the entire army. He has become a model of the Tang Dynasty army. Ruizong not only personally asked about daily life, but also came to reward the army. That was a matter of supreme glory. Chen Wanrong and the others were overjoyed and said together: "Thank you, the emperor!"

Before Ruizong got off the imperial chariot, another team of people arrived. It was Prince Li Longji. Li Longji had just met everyone, and Princess Taiping arrived again.

Princess Taiping and Ruizong, the first sentence they met was "Wanrong, are you firing fire? The mountains and earth were shaking. The people of Chang'an were not sure, so they thought it was Lei Gong who had descended to earth and were talking about it."

There was a heroic artillery in the court, and the people of Chang'an knew about it. However, it was still difficult for them to figure out that the artillery was firing artillery, and it was normal to imagine that Thunder God descended to earth.

After seeing the etiquette, Ruizong didn't say much and said with a smile: "Wanrong, I heard this sound in the palace. It seems to be much more powerful than the artillery before. Call me."

Princess Taiping hurriedly said, "Yes! I'm resting. When I heard the earth-shaking sound, I knew it was you Wanrong who was the one who was the one who was doing it. Then I came to see what happened. Let's fight!"

Although Li Longji didn't say anything, he had a general idea. He really didn't expect that the artillery test fired artillery and attracted the three giants. Chen Wanrong's mind flashed with inspiration and thought very excitedly, "There is one thing I'm worried about not saying anything. Now it's better, it will shock the emperor. Then, it will definitely have unexpected results."

With a certain idea, Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you know that the cannons we threw in Tubo are only thirty-five, small in number, and cannot face each other head-on, and can only be used as a weapon to attack. Now it is different. I have two hundred cannons in my hand, which is very powerful. The emperor, when I was fighting in the schoolyard, I can't see the power. I want to find a place to shoot it."

Ruizong hesitated and did not express his opinion. Chen Wanrong said again: "Your Majesty, the current artillery has a longer range than the previous artillery and the explosion is more powerful. There is nothing to be tested in the schoolyard. I want to pull it to the place where I tried the artillery last time. There are many trees there. If you shoot it through, you can see whether it is powerful or not at a glance."

Ruizong was already a little moved. When he heard this, he didn't have any reason to disagree with it. He nodded and said, "Okay! Let's leave now, leave immediately!"

He was really impatient! Chen Wanrong responded and ordered the artillery to clean up and pull all the artillery out. Chen Wanrong had greater plans, and this might must be revealed, and all two hundred artillery were pulled away.

Ge Fushun was busy mobilizing Longwu Army to protect him and rushed to the test artillery field to clear the field.

Thousands of artillery soldiers drove out of the school ground under the command of Chen Wanrong and drove towards the south of the city in a mighty way. Two hundred artillery pieces were opened one by one. It was a long dragon, which was spectacular, attracting the attention of the people and screaming sounded.

When he arrived at the ground, the Longwu Army had already cleared the ground, and there were no people within a radius of ten miles. With a command from Chen Wanrong, two hundred cannons lined up in a row, occupying a large area. This scene alone was much more spectacular. Ruizong looked at it for a while, nodded and exclaimed: "It is different from twenty gates in two hundred years, much more spectacular!"

Last time the gun was tested, Chen Wanrong only pulled out twenty guns, and the other fifteen were added to the back.

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Fifth Brother, is this more important? How can one person compare with ten people?"

Ruizong smiled, straightened his chest and said, "Wanrong, is it OK?" He looked anxious.

Not only was he anxious, but even Princess Taiping was also anxious. Although Li Longji was not as obvious as Ruizong, his expression that he wanted to see as soon as possible appeared.

Chen Wanrong nodded to Brother Shuhan, and Brother Shuhan waved the flag and shouted: "Let me go!"

The artillery was exerted, and two hundred shells crossed the sky, intertwined into a bright fire net, covering the woods in the distance. Last time, the artillery test was tested, twenty artillery pieces were divided into two places, ten on each side, and they all showed their power. Although the power was great, the scene was not spectacular enough, so how could it be compared with this time?

Ruizong's eyes couldn't help but widen, staring at the spectacular scene in front of him. Princess Taiping and Li Longji were not better than him, and they all widened their eyes.

When the shells fell, the fireball flashed, and the explosion was shocking, making people's ears buzzing. The sounds that Ruizong and others heard in Chang'an City were inconsistent with the sounds they heard at the scene. Although they knew that the noise was very loud this time, they didn't expect it to be so big.

After a while, Ruizong shook his head and kept marveling: "It's amazing! It's so loud! It's even more powerful than thunder!"

"Fifth Brother, look! The trees were blown up!" Princess Taiping pointed to the woods in front of her.

The last time I tried the cannon, I was bombing the old man for a while before the scene of a sand flying tree falling. This time, after only one round of artillery, I obviously saw many trees falling over to the ground, messy.

"This, this is too awesome, right?" Ruizong was a little unbelievable.

Chen Wanrong had some intentions and ignored Ruizong's reaction. With a wave of his hand, the artillery fired again. Round after round of cannons, the trees were overturned more and more, and you could see the overturned trees and the new mud that was stirred up from afar.

Such a scene was far beyond the imagination of the three giants, and everyone was speechless. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I only have two hundred artillery pieces in my hand. If there are seven or eight hundred or more, thousands of them, and set up a formation and bombard the enemy, it would be even more amazing!"

"Is there anything else?" Ruizong nodded mechanically and then said, "Wanrong, what did you say? Thousands of cannons? Yes! We should build more cannons! The more cannons, the better! With so many cannons, you can avoid crossbows."

The power of artillery is much greater than that of crossbows. If the number of artillery is sufficient, there is no need for crossbows to exist. However, it is not possible to do it now, and crossbows are still necessary, because crossbows are lighter than artillery and are convenient for transportation. In places where artillery is not easy to reach, crossbows will play an important role.

Ruizong was very excited. Chen Wanrong knew that the opportunity had come and smiled and guided Ruizong's thinking: "Your Majesty, I think that if there are enough people, we should be able to create weapons that are more powerful than the current artillery."

It's not possible, it's certain! Now we are using only black gunpowder. If the conditions are ripe and solid explosives are made, the power of the cannon will be several times higher.

Not to mention anything else, if there is nitric acid, the glycerin stored by Chen Wanrong will be made into nitroglycerin, although it is insufficiently stable and dangerous, and its power is much greater than that of black gunpowder.

However, all this is impossible because the conditions of the Tang Dynasty were immature.

What Chen Wanrong thought was to make a big statement when Ruizong was happy and asked Ruizong to allow him to go to the Imperial College to pick up people, and at least give him some of the students in the county hall. With these people, Chen Wanrong trained them well and allowed them to be baptized by modern scientific and technological theory. Then modern science and technology will take root in the Tang Dynasty, and the era of science and technology will not be far away.
