Chapter 80

These days, Yang Yichuan was very pleased to cast the first cannon. When he pulled up a few cannons, he directly bombed Xifengzhai. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack? It doesn’t exist. If one shot doesn’t work, then two more shots. If one shot is not enough, then two more shots will be added.

Gao Shen stood in front of Yang Yichuan very nervous. Although this cannon was made, it is still unknown whether it could be used or not. Yang Yichuan was still a little impressed by Gao Shen. He was the representative of the iron smelting personnel at the beginning. The iron tools needed by the air conditioners and refrigerators were all made by Gao Shen.

Therefore, when this requires the creation of military weapons such as cannons, Yang Yichuan first thought of seniority, and he still trusts this seniority very much.

"Your Highness, look at this cannon."

"It looks pretty good. I'll take it outside the city tomorrow morning to try it." Yang Yichuan touched the iron cannon. Although it was not cold, this cannon would eventually take away many lives, which made Yang Yichuan a little unbearable.

"Hey, peace is based on the premise that one is strong enough." Yang Yichuan is not a pedantic person, he also knows the lessons given by history, and of course he also knows that he is not a saint, but he cannot be a villain either.

"Yes, Your Highness, should you continue to speed up the manufacturing after the casting work tomorrow?"

"Stop for a day first. You have been busy for so many days, just think it's a vacation."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"This is what you deserve. After you succeed tomorrow, you will still be rewarded. Work hard, these are the tools to defend your country and drive away the invading enemies in the future."

"Yes." Gao Shen was extremely excited, and this credit and glory were his part.

...

After this ended, Yang Yichuan sent someone to the Chenggu Army camp to inform Lin Tu. The current Chenggu Army camp is divided into Chenggu Army and Xihe Army. The Chenggu Army mainly aims to guard the city gate and patrol, and will also be trained frequently. The Xihe Army has been mainly trained at this stage and will also guard the city gate or patrol.

The next morning, Yang Yichuan led his men out of the Xicheng Gate, and the Xihe Army led by Lin Tu stood neatly outside the city gate. The others were no wonder. The Xihe Army had been pulled out of the city for training twice, and this time it was probably the same again.

The difference is that there is also a car-like thing, covered with cloth, and the city guards can't see what it is. It's too early, so there are not many people coming out to act.

"Well, it's not bad." Yang Yichuan couldn't help but sigh at the neat team. Although it was still far behind the team I remembered, it had already taken shape.

"The equipment of Xihejun is really bad. At that time, I will ask someone to make clothes like me as military uniforms." Yang Yichuan said of course, with short-sleeved shirts. Although his outfit is a bit wide and the fabric is not elastic and tough, it is better to wear it. As for the pants on the lower body, they are also cropped trousers, which are all sewn with glass and are made of good fabrics. As for the shoes, it is just Yang Yichuan's most helpless thing, and he can't think of any way to make comfortable sandals.

Wooden slippers are absolutely impossible, so you can only rely on cloth and leather. The slippers made can be accepted, which is also due to the glazed ones.

"Let's go." Yang Yichuan said casually to Lin Tu, and Xihejun set off. Except for the few people escorting cannons in front, the other people's teams were still neat and orderly. Yang Yichuan was wearing a suit, followed by a team of personal guards, a completely playboy, and was out for fun.

"I'm not missing a sunglasses." Yang Yichuan's glass products have been made now, but the sunglasses are still a bit early. This time, Yang Yichuan came out and brought several telescopes and handed them over to the personal guards behind him.

When we arrived at the place, it was already a long way from Xihecheng and there were no other villages and towns around. There was also a large open space here, which was a good place.

"Well, let's just go here." Yang Yichuan thought this place was OK, and the experiment here was indeed very good.

"Stop." Lin Tu immediately stopped the team in front.

Yang Yichuan asked solemnly, "Are everyone ready?"

"Your Highness, you have already explained it yesterday and are ready. The artillery squad have practiced this step several times." This is indeed a dangerous job, but Yang Yichuan felt that it would not cause any explosion to hurt his own people. Seeing that the iron cannon seemed quite strong, Yang Yichuan could only comfort himself.

"Architecture, leave the line."

"arrive."

Yang Yichuan looked at the people who were out of the list. He was not old, probably under 20 years old, and he was full of vitality and was not afraid of life and death.

"Architecture, you are awesome. Whether this experiment is successful or not, you are all heroes, and your names will be engraved on the monument in Xicheng District."

"For the country, for Xihe." Five people from the artillery squad responded decisively, which made Yang Yichuan feel a little excited.

"A few people come, adjust the direction first, firm the gun stand, fill it with gunpowder and shells." Yang Yichuan commanded the Xihejun next to him.

Yang Yichuan gave the person who specialized in ignition, Zhou Hu, a lot of precautions, "You stuff cotton wool into your ears first. At that time, when you see the flag waving, you can use a torch to ignite the fire. After the line of fire is ignited, you can run away and cover your ears."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yang Yichuan and Lin Tu led the Xihe Army's personal guards 30 meters away, looking at Zhou Hu holding a torch in front of him, this moment will surely be remembered by history.

Although Zhou Hu was not very educated and had some courage, he heard Yang Yichuan say so much and probably thought it was a dangerous job. However, since he had joined the army and became a soldier, there was no reason to be afraid of death.

"This is just a fire, not fighting with the enemy, so there is no big problem." Zhou Hu was standing at Yang Yichuan and others now. Yang Yichuan nodded, and Lin Tu signaled the flag bearer to wave the flag in his hand.

Zhou Hu turned around resolutely, came to the cannon, and saw the fire line above. He swallowed, lit the fire line with a torch, and then threw away the torch according to Yang Yichuan's request, covered his ears and ran towards Yang Yichuan.

Yang Yichuan and Lin Tu were observing all this with telescopes. Lin Tu was no longer indifferent to all this and had long been used to it. Through the telescope, he watched Zhou Hu ignite the fire, and then waited for the next movement.

With an earth-shaking cannon sound, Yang Yichuan and others had already moved away from the cannon, but they still felt that the sound was like thunder and was grand. Just listening to the sound felt unstoppable. Sure enough, Yang Yichuan and Lin Tu stared at the direction of the cannon strike.

Although it was expected to hit a small slope in the distance, it was a bit off, but the problem was not big. The shells caused great damage to the hit place.

Although Lin Tu could only use a telescope to see a rough look, he also saw that scene. The power of this cannon was really huge. The most important thing is that the distance is much farther than the distance that the archer could shoot.

"If, if you use this cannon to attack the Beiyuan people?" Lin Tu suddenly had such an idea, and it was out of control. This extremely powerful weapon, this weapon that transcends the times, is unimaginable.

Lin Tu felt that he was a little verbal, and Lin Tu would definitely not be able to stop such power. Even if he was a congenital warrior, he could not stop it. If he ran, he might not be able to run away. The speed of this shell was also extremely fast. "Your Highness, this cannon."

"This is the Dawei artillery. It is a powerful weapon to defend Dawei and even expand territory for Dawei." Yang Yichuan was much more relaxed and finally succeeded. At this moment, Yang Yichuan could be said to be fearless. If it weren't for only one cannon now and the training was not enough, Yang Yichuan might have taken Xihejun to clear Xifengzhai the next day.

The people in Xihecheng still felt the loud noise. After all, it was when the morning was quieter, and the thunder on the flat ground caused a lot of panic. However, after the loud noise, there was no other movement, which made the people calm down.

Please support, thank you very much.
