Chapter 95: Entering the Palace(2/2)
Two grooms stood in front of the carriage, whipping their whips desperately, and driving the six horses to pull the cannon forward. The horses' eyes were red, and white mist with blood mist was constantly sprayed from their mouths and noses.
Apparently they have been fed some kind of medicine to enhance their strength.
Even so, the moving speed of the carriage is only slightly faster than the speed of a normal person walking.
The reason for this is precisely because this wide carriage is pulling a huge object.
The straight and huge barrel emits a ferocious cold light in the night.
Unlike ordinary artillery, this cannon is almost as big as an elephant, and its muzzle alone is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
A huge boiler was installed at the back to continuously add pressure to the cannon.
Foreign steam cannon!
Xu Tong watched intently. This space was completely different from the real history. Westerners' research on gunpowder did not reach the extreme of thermal weapons. Instead, they were more interested in developing steam energy.
It may seem like an outdated energy source, but foreigners have used steam to design steam battleships, steam chariots, and even steam airships.
Finally, there was the steam cannon. It was such a simple cannon, but it directly blasted open the door that had been closed to the country for two hundred years.
Along with the muzzle of the cannon, it slowly aimed at the door ahead.
Prince Gong waved his long sword: "Fire!"
"boom!"
Along with the terrifying water vapor, the fumaroles on both sides of the cannon burst out, forming a huge searing wave, and the whole world seemed to be covered in white mist.
Xu Tong even smelled the smell of steamed meat filling the air.
When the white mist dissipated, I saw several corpses lying on the ground all around the cannon. These people were so unlucky that they stood in front of the cannon's vent.
As a result, it was instantly sprayed with high-heat water vapor, and it was steamed in an instant.
It can only be said that these people are too unlucky.
This cannon was originally dismantled from a foreign warship.
It turns out that the two air outlets are connected to the battleship's energy recovery pipeline.
It is completely for temporary use, and its safety cannot be guaranteed.
But even so, the power of the cannon was undoubtedly terrifying, and the vermilion door was directly smashed into pieces.
The Imperial Guards who were standing behind the door also suffered heavy casualties.
Such terrifying power made the Forbidden Army feel cold in their hearts.
"Fight in!!"
Prince Gong took the lead and charged with his horse.
At this time, Xu Tong noticed that there was a strange aura surging around Prince Gong's body. His destiny seemed to become stronger at this moment. Some bullets shot at him were pushed away by an unknown force.
.
At this moment, he seemed to be the protagonist blessed by destiny, immune to all evil and invulnerable to sword damage.
“Is this what destiny is for?”
Xu Tong remembered that in the previous script, the black tiger came behind Li Xi, and his mountain buckle could not shake a hair on his body. It was not until the master took action, and then the power of destiny suppressed the black tiger and killed Li Xi.
Just when he was pondering the wonder of fate, his heart suddenly tightened. He looked sideways and saw an old eunuch on the city wall looking towards him. The two looked at each other for a moment. Xu Tong's pupils tightened and he reached out to grab him.
